One morning about a month ago a man of strange, wild mien, and mot very respectable dress nor intelligent apperancg came to the Orphan's Home 1n connection with the Sisters of St. Joseph, and knocked at the door. One of the Sisters came and opened 1t, and the man presented three chlidren to be taken care of.-- The children bore a much stranger mspect than himself, an1 the group excited the surprise and wonder of the sisters. They consisted of a girl and two boys. The boys were clad in lose plaids and were attired alto- gether with a neatness and respecta- 'bility which contrasted singularly with their deportment and looks.-- The girl was about fourteen years old and the eldest of the three.-- She was dressed in a plain and rus- tic style, but had an expression of much more intelligence than her younger brothers. All of whom [rome small in statue and still they were not dwarfish. They were not deformed but there was an unatural and inhuman appearance about them which eould be suggested by scarcely any other word than deformity.-- their oddly expressive eyes, their thin, bony, fang like hands their apathy to what was said by their father, their goneral inatten- tion, their peculiar way of crouching in the corners of the passage way, made them an object of curiosity and pityiag interest. They were led in by one of the sisters, who also invit- ed the father--for such he announc- ad himself in disjointed sentences to be--to partake of something to eat. but he refused jn a hurried manner, saying he hud semething in his pocket and seemed fidgidy to ge, away. As soon as the childern were in; the man left with the same wild, unintelligible stare which he wore throughout the short interview, and did not make any sign of parting or say a farewell word to bis childern, or indeed to any one. Bnt as he passed out of the enterence he turned round gnd furtivel}, iuuhed iu throngg the sidelights of the door. Then he ran of hastily and was soon out of reach and out of sight. The childern were taken into the Home and had food offered them. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the wild looking father was seen to steal soft- ly np to the convent and again rp the gates and peered inquis itively into the sidelights. Ilis off- spring were not there however, and the moment he saw he was ob- served, again fled and was seen no more. The youugters would not taste the food that was offered them thoughtoey were as emacitedas could be. Their hands resembled bird's claws more than anything else and their feet were but a cluster of bones. On talking to them it was gbserved that they could not speak albeit they possessed the natural capacity for articulation, having a full set of teeth, perfuctly formed roof of the mouth, and tongue cap- able of every movement. Neither fdid they pay any attention to any words or other kind of noise. They have been kept and kindly cared tor by the sisters since their advent. But it was djscovered that the boys were afflicted with a desperate cough and though every kindness has been bestowed upon them and every mode of treatment adopted it is not thought likely they will survive long. However they appeared to be gaining strength for some time after being introduced. Their stay in the House has shown them to have lived in the wildest manner and to have 'been totally unacquainted with the "habits of civilized people. They can utter no articulate sound, it was suid, but at various times they have been heird to give vent to a wierd cry entirly uplike any human utterance, bug somewhat resembling the wail of some wild animal this is the sole expression the boys have been known to make but the girl seems more intelligble and can speak common words, though she knows nothing of the ways of civilized life. The boys have a constant habit of crouching in corners and one of them sits with .| one shouldier 'haunched up,' as<f by malformation. They prefer raw entables to cooked food and have only lately taken to eating at the 'ed raw cabbage leaves, turnips. and even have begn known to gulp up the swill that stood in tha pail.-- Port Perry, march 10, 1874.

As to their former history only this is known ; they were found by father Cherrier of Owen Sound R Commission, on a lonely island in Lake Huron, where the father lived with vhese strange childern and would allow no one but themselves to live there. The father seeing their condition obtained the father's per- mission at lagt to have them taken to a refuge and cared for. The par- ent came with them voluntarily and brought them here. The parents of these singular beings were not mar- ried and are said to have been nearly related. The mother has been dead for years. A letter is expected here giving a sketch of their history.-- Spectator. C---- How they Settle Law Suits on Scugog. Thos Watson vs. Arthur Ferris and James Stanton. This was an action in the Court of Queen's Bench by which the plaintiff claimed 81,000 damages for wood burned by defendents put- ing oat fire in a fallow which they had to clear, The suit was withdrawn from Court and submitted to the arbitrament and final decision of Messrs. Samuel Platten, James Deed bearing date the 12th day of September After the deed was duly executed the arbi- trators accompanied by the Flaintiff, De- fendents, and John Collins, Esq., who being of the order of Tubelcain, therefore well used to fire, and an important witness in this case, as will be seen below) did good service in way of giving advice, opinions, etc. Having examined the fallow the arbitra- tors proceeded to Finley's Hall, where the Court was opened and, at the request of Mr, Watson, Mr. J. C. Pilkey was appointed Clerk. The following is the evidence furnished the arbitrators, made under oath. Thomas being sworn, says--Fcrris said he would not burn until after harvest, he warned me that he would burn at a certain time, he did not burn at that time ; be told me again that he would burn. I told bim he might burn whenever he got ready or saw fit, whenever the wind was in the north. He burned with the wind in the south. He did not tell me the night before he burned ; he, warned me three times that he was going to burn that I remember of. I thought that was enough. son, pif, on To Ferris--It was in April you told me you would not burn till after harvest, You did not promise you would burn with anorth wind. I got about 15 cords of stovewood and B60 cords of cordwood burned. 1 thought I drew the wood into a safe place where IT piled it. You advised me to pile it on the side line. You offered to help me to move it. I refused, I did not want your help, you had to hire help yourself. Your father told me to draw my wood into his field. I told you to put in the fire whenever you liked, only with a north wind. I do not know how long it would take a man and team to draw out the wood. I don't k Low many cords he could draw in a day. -- Don't know what it is worth a cord to draw it out. Don't know when I planted my po- 1 plant them very late sometimes, I might plant them to-day, (a laugh) don't know the day or the month I was warned to do my road work. Don't remenbee when 1 did it or what excuse I made to the path- tatoes. master for not doing it when I wus waned. I do not know how wide the lot is. Ferris--That will do, I wish IT had M. C, Cameron at you. Watson--Mebby wouldn't do any better than yourself, laugh). George Miles sworn--F ciris said he would not burn till after harvest. about nine o'clock. Ferris and Stanton were firing at daylight. 1 drew the wood out to pile where it was burned ; the wind was in the south. I asked Thomas Fi boys were going to burn the fallow that day, Fe said the wood would be blackened before it would be out, there was about 50 cords of stove wood and the same of cordwood burned. To Mr Watson--I heard you ask Ferris if he would burn with a south wind. He said he would not, if he did he would let us know I could have burned the brush all around the wood without burning it ; it looked as ii Ferris wanted to burn the wood He said 1t was a bad job and a good one. The fire ran all round the fences, Ferris never came to save them. To Ferris--It was two weeks before the fire you sdid you would not burn until after 'barvest. I could draw out four or tive cords a day alone, You said you would blacken the wood. 1 heard you tell Watson not tc pile the wood there. I heard Watson say put in the fire whenever yeu like except with a south wind. Wedrew wood out of the he (a 1 saw a fire rris, sr, if the fallow when we had nothing else to do. I don't know how long it would take to draw out the wood. I came down abent nine o'clock in the evening I saw you burning around your wood and then went home. 1 came back about daylight next morning. -- 'Watson came about nine o'clock. It wa. abont 4 rods from where you put the fire to where Mr Watson's wood was. I saw Ward burning around his wood in your fallow at the same time you were burning around yours. Ward did not tell me that you were going to burn the fallow nextday. I asked him and hesaid he did not know. : Matthew Ward sworn--1I saw a light in Ferris & Stanton's fallow on the evening previous to the fire, I went where the light was and saw Ferris & Stanton burning brush around their wood. I asked them if they were gding to burn next day, they said they were if the wind was in the right quarter --~ They told me to burn around my wood $hat was in their fallow. I did so: the L did 'and not run ; T thought my wood was went 3 -- e---- m------ " { a EN FAMILY day time, and at night wander| To Watson--I came back in the morning about 8 o'clock ; saw Feiris and his men ready to put in fire. Tasked them if the were going to burn, they said they were, never saw Ferris or Stanton try to save the wood, but they might have cone so. : To Ferris--George Miles came to us where we were burning the night. you burned around your wood. I told him that you intended to burn next day. I would not pile my wood where Watsen piled his, the wood been burned around it and proper precaution used. There was no fire running when I went to the fallow in the morning there was no wind to drive it. I told you Watson had time to draw out his wood. It is about 7 or 8 rods from where I put out the fire to where Watson's wood was burned. IT went home after I saw you put out the fire, I thought there was no danger of my wood. I thought the fallow would not burn, The Court now prepared to adjoun but Mr Watson insisted that he had a very important witness who lived at a distance and he wish- vd to have him examined as Le did not ike to Lave him brought back on Mone some dissenting the dourt finally agreed to take the evidence, John Collins was then called who on coming forward said--1If so be that you takg after Jackson and James Reader, under arbitration | 1874, (witiva penalty of 51,300 attached. -- | Court adjourned till Monday at 10 o'clock, my evidence down so fastas I tell it I will ou long. » | not keep y i Upon being sworn said--Gentlemen abous [ima two weeks ago I had a conversation | with Mr. Ferris (#fter the fire) and he said, Do you think I'd be a fool to burn with ! an east wind and burn my own wood to save Watson's ? 1 said to Lim, would you rather burn your neighbor's wood than your own ? | He said he would (a langh). a.m. when | William Marrow sworn--I saw no fire put ont.

He said you intended to burn next-day but he thought the fallow would not burn, I went to draw in my hay Teame to the allow about nine o'clock next morning. 1 in the morning. could have saved one pile of my wood had it not been for the heat of Watson's wood burning, 1 think the fenge burned from: the heat of the wood burning.

I with a was out nce w romen- | ber Watson coming in a great passion to | where we were chopping, he forbade us chop- | ping or felling tives where his wood was. -- he said he would split the first man open with an axe that chopped down a trée until he got ont his wood. To Feri have ris--Y ou said you did not like to ny quarrclling and told us to go toan- other place until Watson got out Lis wood.-- I consider it was ag at disadvantage to chop at that tim in y other place as the rest of the follow was wet, Watson said he would take out his wood right would not hinder us ny more, 2 thing in Watson's way. This witness with a number of othgrs were called for the defence and cle by Mr. Wat.on ; but to give the whole in de- tail would occupy too much of your space -- I may add hov r that tie whole evidence went to show arly that defendants did all in their power to persuade pIft. to put his wood in a safe place, vhat they advised him not to put it where lie did, that they offered him help to take it tow safe place and thas they had sent a man to him to try and per- suade him to move it and offered Lim a field to pile it in where it would be safe. That the follow could not have burned with any other than the wind it was burned with without being likely to do serious ddmage to property which could not be moved, That defendants did warn pifi. of the particular time they were going to burn and that they did burn on the very time they waned him That plfi. told defs. at diferent time to put in fire that his wood was all safe. That it was upwards of 32 rods from where defs. put out Phe five to where pM. had his wood, and that defsused the utmost caution aud intelligence in putting out the fire. 'That if they bad burned with a west wind it would have burnea a larger quantity of wood as pIff had wood on the north and west of them.
