In every department the | ranks of labor are over-crowded, but in few is the crush so great as in the news- paper business.

(Outside | of dan Francisco there is no press on this coast worth speaking of. Terrinte Accipent.—Our contemporary | the Argus reports the death of a little girl | about four years of age—daughter of Mr. James Weatherbie, of Vernon River —which occurred on the afternoon of Saturday, 29th ult., under most distressing circum- stances. Mr. Weatherbie was engaged, at the time the tragic occurrence happened, near his residence cutting a field of grain with a reaping machine, and his little daughter, contrary to his express coms mands, persisted in being in the field with him. Ue sent her into the house three times, but she returned to the fatal field a fourth and last time to be burne back ina few minutes mangled and helple-s in the arms of her father, with the warm blood fast flowing from the fount of life. Mr. Weatherbie, aware of the danger of allows ing the little girl to remain near him while at work, at last pretended to be angry with, her, threatening to flog her with a bunch of oats if he found her in the field when he came round again. I[e went on his round, and, upon coming back to the place near which he left his child, not seeing her, he concluded that she had returned to the house. This, unfortunately, she did not do, but hid herself in the tall grain crouching close to the ground in a furrow. Just as the horses passed her by, up she jumped to her feet, and, utterly uncon= scious ot being in the very jaws of death, laughed her last merry laugh in her father’s face. But, alas! in a moment more, or befora there was time to draw 4 rein, or utter the word ‘ whoa,’ she was weltering in her blood upon the platform of the machine. The feeling of the horror stricken parent, upon realizing the heart-rending *pectacle that presented itself to his bes wildered gaze, can be better imagined than described. One of her legs was complete- ly severed at the ankle, and the other almost entirely cut off above the knee. Medical aid was not within easy reach. She lived for some time—until her little body was drained of the life-giving fluid— drank some water, and talked some. When becoming weakened, and her sense of feeling paralyzed from loss of blood, the innocently enquired what was the | rushed on him and secured him. tions, he devised a lamp-feeder, whereby | the lamp could be kept full of oil at night, and a machine to blow out the lamps from | his bedside in the morning without the usual modus operandi for putting them out.

He was captured by three men named Samuel Leigler, Alfred Marsh« all, and Alonzo Harris. These men saw his fire between twelve and one o'clock, and crawled up to it, and waited within a short distance watching until day-light ; he moved and then they fired at him twice ; he was not hit, but in order to prevent them from fir ing again he laid still and groaned. They Le offer- ed no resistance, and was disarmed, and marched into town. A knife and a small supply of ammunition were found on him, He was marched into the village amidst tremendous cheering, and attended by a large crowd, which increased all the time until their arrival at the house of Mr. John V. Purds, J. P. The crowd were very ex- ciged, and it was with difficulty the captors could be induced to deliver him up to the authorities, and restrained from inflicting indignities on him of every possible de» scription. Before the Magistrate the murderer said : «¢] have no statement to make, but I have this to say, that I could tell the truth about it; but those boys have been put up to say, ing what they did. Iam sorry, as my boys had been taught the nature of an oath, and have been persuaded otherwise. I admit the remainder of the evidence is correct. I have chosen death rather than life for some time ; since I have suffered so long, [ have felt sure that God would damn her soul in hell. I have no accomplice in any way; no one has known my whereabouts or my in- tention, Ervin has not harbored me. Have not seen Walter Ervin for over a month, when I saw him close to his own house, and asked him about some blueberries or some- thing of that sort, but have not seen him to this day. ‘There can be no positive evi- dence against Ervin. J did not meet Ervin the day the baris were burnt. I never saw him. {he first night I stopped in the house till the morning. ‘ihe second night I stay- ed over by Robert Miller's pasture, under an umbrella which | had with me. think I stopped two nights in that place. From Robert Miller’s 1 went to acleft in the rocks ow Ervin Miller’s land, up in the woods to the westward. Made no cutting of wood ; found ship timber there; stayed there, I think three nights ; this place is now cover ed with brush to hide it. ‘The nights the barns were burned I stopped in my own field, under the lee of the bushes, and then went to near Froude’s. I wished to see Froude, who I heard was alarmed and he had no occasion to be. The next night 1 stopped on John ©O’Brien’s land, to the southward of the house. After that ! stop- ped two nights on Israel Dunn’s land where David Harris Shad some cordwood , I stops ped there two nights. The night before that and last night I stopped where they found Ervin knows nothing about me, and any thing he has said has been extorted from him.

It may possibly be obs jected that you have not had an equivalent for this expenditure, but I believe your own experience will tell you that very few masters are salisfied with the * equivalent ”’ they receive for the wages they pay, and there is hardly a doubt that you will admit that the public is a hard task-master. Your reference to the estimated revenue for {875 is sufficiently correct (in round nums bers), but for 1874 perhaps it will be as well | to give you the actual figures, The levied assessment was Collected to Dee. 31, 1874 $11,482 " ** June 1,1875,of bal, 1,614 Uncollected of 1874 551 $13,647 $13,647 $13,647 There are about {70 poor persons in the | city unable to pay taxes, and with sundry losses, viz., by persons leaving the city, and reductions by appeal, etc., there will be at least $500 lost or uncollected each year. I claim the right to take exception to two other statements in your article. The oneis ‘our city business has been in every departs ment most disgracefully mismanaged.” For refutation I can say that, in so far as I know, | this statement is far from being correct, a fact which I think you will readily admit if | you examine last year’s published accounts } a little more critically. Excepting the ex- | penditure on public works, Fireand Police departments, it must strike you that the other items of expenditure are very small indeed, and perhaps you will further admit, economical, considering the revenue. The secend statement I beg to direct your attention to, is where you say that “any Corporation that was not su.k in the depths ofindolent uselessness would not allow one half of its assessments to be unpaid.” This very closely applies to myself as Collector, but as 1 am not disposed to be too precise in the matter at present, and hoping the ex- planation I have given above will be satisfac- tory, | will for the present abstain trom further complaint.

ROBABLY there are few circumstances under which a physician labors with more real sympathy for his patient than when called upon to administer relief to an acute sufferer with Chronic Rheumatism. Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and no substantial relief can be obtained without clean- ing the blood trom the fibrim substances which obstruct the circulation, causing inflammation and pain. The greatest success of the DIAMOND RHEU- MATIC CURE in curing this disease is owing to its power of converting the biood from its dis- eased condition to a healthy circulation. Italso regulates the bowels, which is very essential in this complaint, and no one will read the follow- ing statement, from a well-known Dartmouth gentleman, with more interest and pleasure than those physicians who have a real desire to benefit their suffering patients : Darrmoutn, Sept. 14, 1874, Forsytu & Co., Gentlemen :—For the two past years I have been severely troubled with Rheumatism, I have suffered the most acute pain, and at times I have been rendered perfectly helpless—being unable to walk, sleep or even sit up. I have tried many »hysicians and used numerous patent medicines, but I still continued to grow worse. It is now about four days since I commenced taking the DIAMOND RHEUMATIC CURE, and the pain has all left me, and the use of my limbs is rapid- ly returning. I bless the day that the Diamond Rheumatic Cure was called to my attertion. Gratefully yours, Wa. BRODIE FURTHER PROOF, Havirax, Sept, 19, 1874. Forsyru & Co., Gentlemen:—I wish te make known to all sufferers from Rheumatism in Halifax, that I, the undersigned, suffered the most terrible pains possible to imagine, for two years past. I have tried several physicians in this city, and paid them mostof my means for prescriptions, but all of no avail. Ihavenow taken the DIAMOND RHEUMATIC CURE for a week past, and I can truthfully say that it has done me more good than’auythiog I have ever taken. I cordially recommend it to all afflicted humanity, Truly yours, ALAM HANNIGAN, Lower Water Street. The proprietor of this has walked the aisles of the hospitals of London, Eng, for the past twenty years,making Rheumatism a specialit and the prescriptions from which the remedy compounded is all he ever used in the treatment of this disease. In simple cases sometimes one or two does suffice. la the most chronic cases it is sure to give way by the use of three or four bottlee. this efficient and simple remedy hundreds of doi- lars are saved by those who can least afford to throw it away, as surely it is by the purchase of useless prescriptions. This medicine is prepared by a careful experi- enced and conscientious physician, in obedience to the desire of numberless friends in the profes- sion in the trade and among the people. Every bottle is warranted to contain the full strength of the Medicine in its highest state of purity and development and is superior to any medicine ever compounded for this terrible complaint. It is tor sale at all Druggists throughout Canada. [fit happens that your Druggist has not got it in stock, ask him to send for it to, W.R. WATSON, CHARLOTTETOWN, Agent for Prince Edward Isiand, .
