The trial of the six persons charged with the murder of the Donnelly family in this township of Biddulph, on the 4th of February, commenced Rt:IIODd0CI on Monday last before Mr. Justice Ar- mour. and the first: prisoner placed in the dock was James Corral], whose trial for the murder of the old woman, Judith Donnelly, is now in progress. Through eight months have elapsed since the occurrence of the “ Biddulph tragedy,” its magnitude caused so great. a sensution throughout the Dominion that it. is not probable any of our road- ers have forgotten the main particulars, or that the victims were James and Judith Douuelly, husband and wife, Thomas and John, two of their sons, and Bridget, their ucico. the five were beaten to death in the homestead, which was after sol: fire to and burned to the ground; but. John was shot. at. a later hour at the house door'of his brother William, for whom he was mistaken, and who has been actively engaged ever since in hunting up evidence against the supposed mur- derers. These are six in number, viz, James Carroll, John Kennedy, Martin McLaughlin, John Purtcll, Thomas Ryder and Jas. Ryder, Sr.. who are the only ones out. of the fourteen or fifteen arrested against whom there was sufil- clout. proof to warrant their committal for trial. The chief witness for the prosecution is Johnny Connors, a boy about twelve years of age, who was sleeping with old Dounclly on the night of the tragedy, and who hid under the bed until the assailants had departed and then escaped from the burning house. He has declared most positively that the first. of the gang who entered was James Carroll, and depozes with almost or quite as much certainty to the identity of one or two of the others. As there are six indictmentsâ€"five for murder and one for arsonâ€"against. each prisoner, and there is to be a separate trial on every indictment until convic- tions (if there be any) are secured, the proceedings will necessarily be of such formidable length that. none but the city daily papers can possibly publish them, and even they will not care to fill their columns with repetitions of the evidence. which will be nearly the same on every trial, and will not vary much from that. given at the preliminary investigation that was held soon after the tragedy. Somerville Agricultural Show. The fall show of the township of Somerville Agricultural society was held at. Cobocouk on the first inst., and was quite as good as usual, although the day was cloudy and threatened rain. which, however, did not. fall until after dark. There was a marked improve- ment. in short. horn cattle and pigs, which were more numerous and at better quality than at. previous exhibi- lion, and the roots and vegetables were remarkably good. As this Society ofi'ers three prizes- for almost everything, the list is a very long one and in order to save space, which is precious, we omit the lst, 2nd and 3rd, merely giving the names of the successful competitors in the order in which they took prizes, which will be ju-t as easily understood.

Twelve years out. wc drove from this village to Bowman- vlllc in a cutter curly in October. and since then cattle have been seen grazing on Christmas day, so that there are precedents for the most opposite sur- miscs. It is stated by those who claim water falls. either in the shape of rain ofsuow, every year; and ifthis be true the late frequent showers may only be making up for arrearuges during the recent. drought. Otherwise they may be the forerunner of winter, as the swamps are rapidly filllng up, and there is u popu‘nr belief to the effect that they must be full before winter will set in; though we doubt whether such is always the case. We have not quoted what chuor says, as ye have but little faith in him; but we hope that. hard weather will not commence yct awhile. for there is always enough of it, and sleighlnfz by the lst of D:c.-mber is sufficiently early. STRANGE BUT TnUE.â€"--The Port Hope Times says :â€"“A curious thing happened a few days ago in the township of Hope. A farmer's son had his leg so severely injured by a machine that. amputation was nccccssary. The foot was taken away and buried- Some days after the operation the patient was very uneasy. He said he was pained by something be- tWecn the toes ofthc foot which had been taken off; persuasion was of "It avail, and the family had at length to yield to his entrcaty to have the. limb cxhumcd- It was duj,r up. and, sure enough, between the toes were three kernels of corn, while three more were imbedded in the heel- On their return home they found the patient perfectly easy. Can any psychologist or physiolo- gist account. for it?" We remember recording a similar occurrence near Mladcn some years ago. A young man had to have his hand or foot (we forget which) taken off in consequence at a threshing machine accident.

The great colonization scheme of Rev. A. J. Bray, of Montreal, for filling up lands in the Province of Quebec, has been Successfully launched in England. The. object. in view is to induce English and Scotch farmers of small means to settle in Quebec. Some time since a Mr. Whyte, formerly a government emigration agent. commenced a settle- ment. in the eastern towshlps upon a largo tract of timbcred land, and has succeeded in bringing out a number of Scotch farmers to occupy it. So far he has settled liltcen thousand acres. Peeing his success, a Mr. Stokwcll obtained agrunt of one hundred thous- and acres in the same district, witlrtv view of having it settled by the aid oi-a strong company. Some months since, at the instance of those two gentlemen, Mr. Bray went. across the Atlantic and last no time in getting influential men in London to take up the schema and form a company. The prospectus was issued and the stock was soon taker up. The cfi'orts now are to unite the two settlements. which will give an arca‘tu the Company of about one hundred thousand acres. The plan is to lay out. the farms-in one hundred acre lots, clear ten acres. build a house and “J11 some. stock, the whole to he sold for £100 Only Scotch and I‘luullsh farmers are to he allowed the advantages offered by the society. and' although it is not. so stated we inney an Irish need apply. The promoters of the scheme, it is said. have in view the increase ofthe E Iglish population in Quebec, so as to neutralize the prcpouderutiug political influence now exercised by the French Canadian element. The matter has so far been kepf from the puplic least there should be an active opposition by the French. While we cannot approve of any scheme f-rcolonizutiou which draws a line of de- "tarkation either as to country or creed. We are prepared to admit that U novel-y of the Roman Catholic shut-cl: took the initiative on tleis'cnutiucnt ir IUl‘tllliiu such settlements.

It. was 0 nteudud at one time, low: ago we suppose. that agricultural shows were excellent means for educating the young farmers rind farmercsses in the subjects of rural occupation. It. was thought that when one saw the big pot- atoes that. another had raised, it. would excite one'i ambition, and next your would show uuother's potatoes to be bl:- ger than all the rest. And when the fair Elizabeth saw the lovely rag mats and pitch work quilts of the tasteful Ann, there Would be keen competition in the following year. In fact it was supposed that. the agricultural show acted just liks an object lesson at school, and that all sorts and sizes of farmers could not but be bcuofitted by the event. That idea appears to have been lost sight of in late years. The holding of a show has passed out. of the larmers' hands altogether, and the shopkeepers and hotelkecpurs and residents of the cities generally now “ run " fall show for the benefit of trade. All western Unturio towns and cities are resentful about the mighty effort. that.

Of course all the money that was spent. in Toronto was so much taken from the shop keepers in scores of towns and Vlll‘l‘lc'4 round abtut. But that. did not matter, so lune as the money was spent in Toron- t .' To go back to the ednetti'mul part of the show business, it may be observed that. the Exhibition at Toronto was not a drawing affair'of itself. During tlw first week the receipts at. the gate would not avian-go slfillll a day. On th- Sw-nd week the receipts were greater. 71." they were made so by Cale-ionisin- mums uue thy. donkey races on another. lmrsc tin.- performances on anotltrsr, and the grand march of the Odd-fellows m the Friday. which closed the show, wh-u the reevipts were double that of any other day of the show.
