The defence set up will be that a plurality of wives is a part, if not the whole of this much-masried man's refigion, and he therefore can claim immunity under the constitution which gharantees religious liberty to all. A very mice point, but if we were that Mormon,--and we are glad to know that we are not--we should raise a nicer one, fo wit, that Mrs. Saint has only a fractional elaim to her lusband, and that while it is quite right and proper for her to prosecute her fraction, she has no claim whatever upon the fifty other fractions which belong to the fifty other Mrs. Saints.

A Mr. Harvey, of South Yarmouth, having been troubled by boys stealing his melons, took a novel mode of stopping the thefts. " About nine at night," says the St. Thomas Home Journal, *" two boys were known to be sneaking behind & fence evidently waiting for their companions. "Mr. Harvey sent a boy to his melon patch, who had been drilled for the purpose, and knew what he had to do, and in a few minutes followed with his gun. He fired a blank charge into tho air, when, accord- ing to arrangements, the boy in the melon patch fell, crying "I am shot ! I am shot!' As the boy kept up this cries, two men soon made their appsarance, end coming up to him asked, * Where are you shot 1" He answered, *" 0, my back ! my back!" The men asked his name. ~ He said, "I don't like to tell." Mr. Harvey coming forward at this time, told the men to leave his premises, and as he had shot the boy he would take care of him: The men went « away and Mr. Harvey 'walked toward the and went to bed. By this time the rumor was going.through the neighborhood that Mr. Benjamin Harvey had shot a boy, and soon a number of people 'gathered arownd his house and watched all night, while he and the shot boy lay comfortably asleep. in bed. raised and the neighbors one and all be- gan searching for the body, while a certain lived in the States, took Mr. Harvey aside and asked him to say candidly what he | had done with the body, whether he had | burned or buried lit, and the same timé | kindly advising him as one who had been | behind the scengs in his own country, to | buy off the magigtrate at the examination as the only thing that could save him.

ANew axp Most VaLvasre INveNTION. | | --Some time since we referred to the fact | of Mr. Isaac Mill of this city having ob- | tained a patent for a new "Stock Taking | 'and general measuring Machine," which | | promises to prove of immense value to dry | | goods merchants, woolen manufacturers ! and others] by way of saving labor and ex- | peuse. At the time of referring to this | chine but since, we have had the advantage of seeing the full-size article which was put in operation at Milne's Photograpic { Rooms, where photagraphs of it have been taken by that gentleman, and we are more firmly impressed than ever with the im. | mense advantage which it must prove to! be to the trade. The machine is intended | £0 take the place of hand labor in taking | stock and in general measuring of dry goods. It is calculated to do the work of 'six or eight clerks. It unrolls, brushes, measures, rerolls and correct y nts every yard and fractional part of a yard. Phe machine on the whole is exceedingly simple, and can be worked by a boy.

A few minutes' thought would convince any person of common judgment that such & course is a great mistake. The editor gathers his news from a thousand sources, from ac- quaint and strangers, from letters and papers. He sifts, culls, hunts, con- denses, and endeavors to get the straight facts of every story he publishes, for .it goes to the public over his nams, and he knows that in a great measure he will be held responsible for it. The private indi- vidual hears a piece of gossip carolessly, and repeats it with equal carelessness, and iF called upon for details, nine cases out ten, cannot furnish enough of them to make an intelligent item for a paper. It is to the advantage of the newspaper to furnish facts, but where there is so much fire there must be some smoke. How many men can show a record .for corvect- ness, accuracy and truthfulness that will compare with the average newspaper ! The wonder, instead of being that the news- paper should contain occasional inaccur- acies and mistatements, is that they con- tain so few of them, considering the sources from which the editor derives his information.

Tue Belleville Intelligencer says that a 1, A oly ad + h Pp A on Wed- nesday, 27th inst., tola Mr. Samuel Cook, a farmer residing in the 7th concession of Tyendinaga, by which he was almost im- mediately killed. It'appears that he was ploughing, and took with him his guny | which he placed with the muzzle towards | him, loaded and capped, between the | handles of the plough. A bird flying past, Mr. Cook stopped his horses, and on draw- ing the gun from the plough, the " ham- mér" of the gun struck sharply against it, exploding the cap and discharging the gun. The unfortunate. man received the discharge, at a few inches distance, pene- trating his chest and causing death within an hour. An inquest was held by Dr. Hamilton, and a verdict of *' accidental death " returned. CavapiaN "Cuzesg. -- Canadian and American cheese are' rapidly supplanting English cheese in the English market itself. During the four weeks ending Sept. 1st, 253,600 boxes of it were import- ed into England, 'ameunting in weight to something over 5,000 tons. It sells there at about 5}jd. per pound for the fine qualities, which is 1}d. less than English -cheese can be sold for ; while it is .said to be _quiteequal to English cheese in quality, flavor and condition. Even the famous Dutch cheese suffer by the Canadian com- other way, and the change is owing entirely to the skill and pains of dairymen here and in the States in impro¥ing the management of their dairies. TELEGRAPHIC report state the fire in the woods of South-eastern Wisconsin has | assumed most extensive proportions, and has been attended with consequences the most disastrous. The flames have devas- tated over three thousand square miles, and in all that enormous tract of land very little has been saved. Villages and towns have been swept away, hundreds of fami- lies left desti and homeless, and valu- able property of all kinds has been des- troyed. In their distress the unfortunate people will command ready sympathy. : Ix Greeley, Colorado, no whiskey can be found for lave or money. Every deed for the purchase of land containa's cl nullifying the instrument should intoxi. cating liquors be manufactured, sold, or given away in any place of public resort on the premises, as a beverage.

In forty minutes King had cut off two bars, and made his escape. . 3 THIRTY years ago, Bulwer predicted that the time would arrive when Thiers would become the saviour of France ; and at the same time a French writer declared that if a conflict ever occurred between the great powers during his life time, M.

Sararoca.--During the last fashionable season at Saratoga the Grand Union Hotel was open one hundred and twelve days. The daily wine room receipts were $1,000, and the bar receipts averaged $600 per day. So the amount spent for liqiors in this one hotel in Saratoga last summer, was $123,200 for wine, and $69,200 for other drinks, making a total of nearly two hundred thousand dollars for the 26,870 guest entertained during the heated term at this mammoth hostelry. And the Grand Union is only one. of the many hotels there. Tur Montreal Witness says that there are already counterfeits of the new Cana- dian fifty cent pieces in circulation. We were shown one to-day and the imitation is 80 good that it would readily pass among others if not closely examined. They may be detected, however," by their light weight, and also by the lettering, which is not 80 clear and perfect as in the genuine ones. WHEELER'S PHOSPHATES '*W. T.
