THE SHELBURNE TRAGEDY. now DID OLD JOHJJ SMITH COME TO HIS DEATH â€" HIS NEPeS:^ TEIED toe THfi CBllLE. STRONG CIECUMBTANTIAI, EVIDENCE. John Smithy a boy about 17 years old, is of a. delicate age to be charged with the commis- sion of the highest ciiine in the calendar, ^he victim, too, a near relative, his uncle. Vet lie is the chief living actor in the dread- ful trage.ly knovn as the Shelbume or Am- OTantli horror. THE cr.iiiE. The circumstances of tlio crime are as fel- lows â€" John Smitli, the unfortunate victim of tliis mysterious tragedy, a quiet and high- ly respected bachelor farnter, aged 70. living alone with his nephew, .^aKcd 14, on the ;-cuth east half of the.^St^half of lot 27, 4th concession, twn5hip^|?"}Ctaaranth about 4 miles froin Shelbimie," .,'^s on Saturday night, the ,21*t."of January last, sitting by jiis fireside after supper, when, according to the neohew's story, a shot was fired through tlio uncurtained window, and lie fell to tiie floor. His nephew, who v;as in the house at ihe time reading a newspaper, saw, he s^|^, t'lat the shot had been fired by a man out- .--iile with adark beardjand moustacheand dark f'o;bes. He ran out, but before he reached the door a bullet was fired through his cap. fie ran in and informad a neighbor, distant n mile and a half, of the deed. On looking l;:ick be saw tlie Lou?e en fiie. The body of tlie old man was found near the door, with j.iart of one leg burned off. He was reputed t" be well off, and was known to have consid- 'lable money in the house. Ui)on examiua- liju c'l tl;e body a scalp wound was found, two inches long. The parietal bone under tKe scalp and the bones on the right side of the he;«i and face were fractured. No aper- ture 'was found in the brain by which it was jc'ssible for a bullet to enter or escape. Un- der a mimite examination no indication of a ' ullet or otlier foreign body -was discovered. Tne moJital experts, therefore, en me to the eonclusiou tliat death was caused by a heavy i-'iow inilictod on the ri^ht side of t}io heail '.i:d face. This evidence impeached tlie ver- Hjity of the boy stronglj-, and when a hard- ware merchant turned up who said chat a boy wa in Lc was reasonably suie was Smith, pirchasoi a revolver at his store before the i;inrder. the current of suspicion turned ;;yainst him. He was finaliy arrested and I'oiumitted for trial. A MYSTEKIOUS CASE. Ti:C tnul of the case was fixed for April I'.st, but po-tponed in order to give the Crowu ample time to endeavor to clear up wluil is undoubtedly one of the most mys- terious ca-^es that has ever non-plussed L'rowa attorneys in this country. Opinion is liiviJel as to whether the boy himself com- tnitted the crime of his own wickedness, or v.t the instigation, and under the direction of seme one else. Few doubt that one of these tiieories is correct, and doubtless the circum- stances preclude the exoneration of the pris- oner uulil, at all events, a jur\-'s verdict hav- ing the etic-ct is given. The strongest point Tijiiiinst him so far as is known is the fact that he is identified, so strongly it is tiue by Mr. Hannah, a hardware merchant in Shel- burne. as having purchased a revolver from him a few days prior to the murder. Mr, â-  Fostftr, an assistant in the st-^re, appears to haye taken more notice of the purchaser,and he is positive as to the iaenti;y of young Smith. Token in connection with the facts that after the mur Jer the easa of the pistol was found near an old well, in the vicinity of the house, and also a namber of cartridges fitting to the weapon, found on the Rroond m the track of the boy's flight from the "tminghomesteai, the xiskI incident is hard to jiplain away. • LATFB. The evidenae pro and con has been glTen which failed *o reveal ouythinc new, and on MoiiOtiy the Jnd^gaye the Jiuy their ^kuge, who, after an honi's conwdanUion Tetnmed a verdict rf "not guilty."

A number of eaaee were speedily disposed rf, when the ease at Adair â-¼Â«. Earke w»« called. The case arose oat of the parties named, who liye in the Tp, of O^rcy, mak- ing a bet of 140 as to the drawing strength of their respective teams, upon evidence it appeared that Adair failed to "come to tmie" as arranged upon, and the stake holder paid over the stake to Earies according to agreement that the party failing to come to time, the stake should be paid to the party appearing on the ground. Adair claimed that his horse had became lame, and notified the stakeholder not to pay over the stakes. Case adjourned. After hearing several important cases the batch of newspaper aco'ts brought before the court by George Jackson Blythe came upon the boaid. He obtained one verdict, and the remainder adjourned or non-suit. The case of Sulhvan vs. Tp. Artemesia came up foi hearing. This case aro?e out of Mr. James Sulhvan'a property being as- sessed for the new S. S. Section No, 6, Arte- mesia, insteaa of union S. S.

The case of Black vs. Coleman resulted in verdict for deft. This case arose out of f Otflt. bargaining for a number of sheep, paying a portion of money thereon, and failing to "come to time," as to the dehyery. We present these few cases, as a guide to our readers in similar cases. TERRIBLE BUTCHERYIN MARK- DALE. To use our correspondent's own words he says, "at about 2:30 p. m. on "Wednesday last as I was walkiug down the north side ol Mill street I came opposite Reid's new block, now occupied by Trimble Wright, I heard distinctly cries of butchering, followed by the low whispers of an anxious crowd, and on forcing open a store door I met a sic;ht nevey to be forgotten. Trimble "Wright were doing their level best, ably assisted by Messrs. Anderson, Cunningham and others, to supply the wants of an ex- cited multitude rushing ma^ly for- ward for the goods that were being slaughtered right and left. Some were after boots and shoes, a large stock of wl'.ich had arrived tliat day. A lady called loudly for mantle cloth which was supplied her in fifty differ- ent patterns. Many called for hats and caps, clothing and overcoats, which were supplied in aa able man- ner at the usual bankrupt prices. One of the firm mounted the platform and informed their many cusiomers that there would arrive to-day (Thursday) 220 chests of that now notorious tinrty cent tea, r,nd if any wanted samples they would' be supplied free of charge. No arrests were made, but all seemed to come- to the one conclusion that there was no place under the sun Avhere goods could be got as cheap as at Trimble Wright's. AS20.00 BIBLE EEWAED.
