two °Mare of the Middlevee Howie of Correetion won
made by a prisoner named Piliniteon, who ISM tried el

and emiteneed to sis months' hard labour, It appears
Mist e prieoner, on being supplied with hie &net,
oomplained to the offieer in wines° charge he was (nod.
win), who bents a deservedly high olinraoter, and ltu
served meny years in the prison, that the ment was not
sweet. The officer, after 'undoing it, said it was,
whereinsiti the prisoner rushed at him and, in attempt-
ing to stab hint in the throat, out him 'evenly serves the
Nee with the knife giveo him to eat hit dinner with.
Morrie, another officer, UM up on seeing 'hie brother
officer attacked, and seised the primmer, who turned
furiously upon him and struck at his throat with the
knife. Fortunately, he missed hie aim, het the officer
received • wound which placed his life in the greatest
jeopardy. The knife struck him on the cheek and
glanced off past the ear, and atuck in his neck. Had
the prisoner sucoeeded in giving the blow he evidently
intended, the jugular vein mot have beta entirely
severed. The prisoner wu secured and placed In irons,
and every attention paid to the wounded officers. Great
fears were for some time entertained that Morris's
wound was mortal, but we are glad to learn that lie is
now pronounced out of danger, atul both are getting on
fevourably. The prisoner, who seems very careless
about the matter, was examined on the charge of
wounding with intent to murder on Friday at twelve
o'clook.
THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS—We observe that in
several towns steps are being taken to induce the trades.
men to extend the approaching Christmas holidays a day
longer than usual, in order to afford a more convenient
opportunity to persons engaged in trade, whether prin.
cipals or assistants, to visit their friends and enjoy • sea-
sonable relaxation. For this purpose it is proposed to ex-
tend the holiday, which will commence on Saturday, the
211th inst. (Chruttmaa-day), until Tuesday the 28th (the
Innocents'-day), thus suspending business for three days
—namely, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. As Christ.
mas-tide- is pre-eminently the season of festive enjoy-
ment, and by long custom regarded as the most legiti-
mate and pleasurable of all periodic holiday makings,
it is hoped that the movement will be sanctioned by
tradesmen generally throughout the country towns,
and that, following the example of theireraft in Derby,
Lincoln and other places, they will give to themselves,
and their assistants a three days' holiday to enjoy the
pleasures of Christmas. There is a preeedent for this
Lindable step, as in 1854, when Christobas-day fell on a
Monday, the Saturday (or eoclesiastaval Christmas-eve)
was also, in many places, made a holiday, so as to give
to the employed a respite from toil for three full days.
In 18.53 again when what St. Cheryaostom calls the
greatest and primest of festivals fell on the Sunday, the
following day (Monday) was generally observed as • close
holiday, except by the drivers and conductors of public
vehicles, the traffic having been enormous.
