The crime which Lachance expiated on the gallows was one of peculiar bruâ€" tality and horror. His victim was Odelite Desilets, a young girl, who on the 99th of March last left her father’s house to visit; the house of Uleopitas La- ohance’s brother. She did not return, and after searching in vain for some time her relatives iound her mutilated body, head downwards, in a well. For :t short time it was impossible to tell who the murderer was, but. ultimately the crime was traced home to Cleophas Lachunee, who was arrested, tried, con~ vioted of the murder, and finally sent- enced by Judge Plamandon on the 30th November last. erend gentlemen, professors, church property, etc. The amount of taxes lost in this way yearly, is enormous, and the poor man has to pay an increas- ed tax toOmake up the sum. We notice that Mr Bell, member for West Torâ€" onto, proposes introducing a Bill to re- move this public injustice. Torâ€" onto, of course, would be a great guin- er if exemptions were reduced, but this should not prevent it; being done. The principle is right, no matter whether Toronto derives some wealth, from the County‘and Province thereby. It‘the Local House never docs any- thing else worthy of note, they will do a good not in reducing the list of property exempt from taxation at p1 esent. The Toronto Telegram published last Mon- day a list of the exemptions in that city amounting in all to over sixty millions ol'wenlth. This is made up of Building and Loan Societies, Insurance The Ontario law-makers in the Legis- lature Assembly have not for some time, had anything to do. and the way in which they accomplish it, would make :1 LyCurgus or Solon wag his head in amazement at the wisdom and brilliancy of intellect displayed. The people of Ontario take the matter very good-' naturedly, and crack some funny jokes, once in a while about it, through the papers; but they appear to dread making a bad matter worse by meddling with it. 'l‘helast few sessions, however, have become such a farce that public opinion is strongly in favor of reducing the cost of this ornamental but somewhat unnecessary institution. While it is pretty generally admitted that Provincial affairs are very fairly managed, and the finances handled as carefully as our Treasurer and other‘ Ministers can handle them, one can- not but see that there is agreat deal of useless expenditure incurred in call- ing the House together, to idle away} the greater portion of the time. Therei has been some talk of bi-ennial sessions. 5 Even this would be an improvement,‘ the long and short session is better-,I and short sessions annually is better still. . an ACCO UNTSJâ€"Parties indebted (a this afice for advertising,job work, and subscriptions, will confer a. favor by paying the same.

Assistâ€"- ance was promptly on hand and the suf- ferers were removed. Truflic was re.â€" sumed three hours thereafter. Mr Ful- ford was in comfortable circumstances and was well known as a temperance man. active in charities. He did a good‘ business as a cattle dealer. This is said to be the first accident in twenty years. on the Northern, resulting in the loss of life. It is not known from what cause the train lel't the track, but after jumping the rails it bumped along the track for quite a distance. Striking a cattle guard the eoupling broke and two coaclr es and a smoking car went over the eluâ€" bankment ten feet high. The damage sustained was little, and though there was intense excitement among the pasâ€" sengers, it was found that the caslmlities were comparatively small. Among Ihose who were seriously injured were Mr. 'l‘ennant, luml-er merchant, of Toronto, who was out about the head and face; Mr \Valker. a traveller for a Montreal house, who also had his face laceratcd ; and Miss Emma Bingham, of Bradford, sister of Mr W.

York County Counch A boat used for harbour work at Cherbonrg, France, foundered Wednes~ day, and eighteen of the crew were lost. A branch of the Land League, with a considerable membership, has been es- tablished in Toronto. Most of your readors are aware that lI had occasion, a short time ago, to charge him with deliberate falsehood in connection with the authorship of certain communications which appeared -in the Liberal. During a visit to your village last week I learned that this “model of purity,” had been misrepre- senting my connection with that affair, and in order to set him and the public right on that point, I hero again state most emphatically, that the editor of the Liberal wrote what was untrue when he penned the statement that he “neither stooped to, nor allowed such a thing” as the writing of communications within the oflice. I most respectfully defy the Liberal man to deny that the letter signed "'Candour," and which ap- peared in that paper, was written in that ofiice, by an employee of that. ofiice, and with the consent and knowledge of the Editor. I don’ t insinuate but plain- ly assert that when he penned the words referred to, he deliberately penned a falsehood. and he must either acknowledge the corn or deny the truth of my statement. In connection with! your reference to my soâ€"called “treach- ery” in disclosing the affair, I am perâ€" fectly aware that it would be excuseâ€"I able were I to disclose the name of another writer of an anonymous letter, but I believe that any anonymous writer has a perfect right to make himself known if he wishes, and 1 cannot see that I have overstepped the bounds of professional etiquette in any way what- ever. Now, will the Liberal man put up or shut up. Yours Respt. "CANDotm," & LATE or mm ‘LIBERAL’ Toronto Grey and Bruce R R trains, are very late these days. Lots of snow and good sleighing. ‘ Sunâ€"I notice by late issues of your paper that your friend “across the way" has been indulging in his old propensity for telling what. is not true, and I would crave permission to use a small space ofyour spicy little sheet for the purâ€" pose of still further showing up his hale eccentricities. The children of our public school are gomg to have a sleigh-ride tomorrow to Weston, and on their return will have ten in the Orange Hall. 10 sleigh- londs are going. The Grits had their anti-Syndicate meeting in Weston, last Thursday after- nnon, which turned out, to be a real Syndicate meeting, and the last. one I think they will call in West York. Dr McConnell had better attend to his patients and W A Wallis, Esq.. to his “cudi” duties. which they can manage better than anti-Syndicate meetings. To file Editor at the Herald. On Wednesday, the Weston Public School had their annual drive to \Vood- bridge. About noon 10 sleigh loads carve up well filled with children and some of the older ones to look after them which they needed very badly, not all, but some of them. As Mr Humm, correspondent of the Brampton Conseré vator, here, said amongst them was a lot of “apes.” and you might distinguish them by their small size and long cigars But they had a jolly time anyway. They brought their lunch alongr with them.' and adjourned to the Orange Hall, where they had cofiee, cakes, sport, etc., and started homeward about 4 o'clock. Cahoun, asking for a grant 0F$I50" for the removal of a hill on the Township' line between King and Tecumseh. A petition by Alex Ross praying to be allowed for leases sustained by him as lessee of No l toll-gate, on the Kingstonqora‘, by ‘reason of the steam motor nuisance. and also pray- ing that his lease may be cancelled, was read, also one by the township council ofl Etobicoke. asking that a by law passed by that body with reference to the road allow- ; ancu on the property of Mary Ann Christie ’ be confirmed by the County Council. Mr} Henry Duncan introduced a by-law provid- ing that residents of the city' east of the Don shall be allowed to pass the toll-gate on the Kingsmn-road for one-half the amount collectable tor toll. It. was read a first time. A by-law granting $400 to the three Electorial Diwsion Sucteties of the County was adopted. the West and East Ridings get-ting $25 each, and the North Riding $l50. Mr Jackson introduc~ ed a by-law to appoint the usual Board of Audit. The by-law was adopted, the name of Erastus Jackson and Jun Crawford being inserted as the auditors, and their remuner- ation being fixed at $3 per day and five cents per mile for mileage. Mr Stokes moved that the Finance Committee be in-.l structed to prowde funds for repairing the bridges on the Holland river‘ou the County line between Yorkmnd Simeon, .and near» Schomberg. providing the 'Simcoe Council grants a similar amount, which was carried. The Missionary Meeting in connec- tion with the Church of England. I epokc of in last week’s letter. was held on Wednesday evening last, in the Orange Hull, and was very elimly at" tended. Three Rev gentlemen held forth and also the church choir, which were nearly one-half of the congregation. much to the disgrace ofonr village. If it was a concert or a dance, you might be sure the hall would be pretty well filled, but it was only a Missionary meeting and of course no account. Surprise parties nearly every night. Also Cap and Tie parties which is some- thing new, and all well attended. We have two separate Societies herex one is called the “Bon Tons” and the other the “Upper Tens,” Oh yes, and another the “Lower Tens," which latter ones generally stop at. home. Why, because they are not invited, very good reason . I heard the two first parties had a row at a party the other night which I believe will put a stop to parties for‘ a while. Interesting Letters.
