THE EXECUTION OF LoUNT AND MATTHEWS.
Col. Arthur the new governor of Upper Can
ada, certainly made great mistake when he Or
dered the execution of Lount and Matthew'S con-
vicled of hghreason, for taking part in the late
Upper Canadian Instruction. The Toronto
respondent of Mackenze's Gazette, says:
All the other incidents of this revolution, taken
together have NOT excited the public feeling 10 SO
intense degree as the judicial murder of our
noble friends Col. Lount and Capt. Matthews.
They were among the hravest OF the brave-hon-
est and true TO the Canadian cause-spotess in
character-and beloved and esteemed by all who
had their acquaintance. Capt. Matthews is the
father of fifteen fine children, and when they
came to Toronto from Pickering, where they
live, 10 pray Sir George Arthur to spare the life
their earthly parent, 10 be tnerciflil as he would
wish 10 obtain mercy at the bar of omnipotence,
it was he most moving spectacle ever beheJd.
Life is sweet and for the fond father to be torn
from the wife OF his bosom and the children of
his love, meet, in health and strength, a
shameful, cruel, and painful death, surely it is
bitter cup. Yet would have rather drank that
cup to the dregs than TO have been the sangnnary
monster who spurned these interesting mourn
ers from his presence, with cold and callous
look, adding ale must die" o. how they sob
bed. "To die because he had strven TO give
his children home and freedom in the Ameri-
can wilderness, surely it was = One
of his daughters could not sob, she shed no tears,
her eyeld was dry, but her heart was broken.
She went home with the others, TO their humble
farm, and before her fathers spirit h4d rest in the
bosom of his God hers had fled its clay tene-
ment, Father of the falhcriess have mercy up
on this bereaved household. Thou who art the
head and the husband of the widow, comfort
this widow and her fourteen children, until the
time arrives, in which they shall join, in a hap
pier Cline those friends whom the cruel yoke Of
England have for time separated in pain and
anguish.
The harbarous provision of the common law
which fories the property persons convicted
of felony treason is still in force in Canada.
Another correspondent of the paper above quo
ted writes from Lockport:
Young Mr. Louns is here--his escape is provi-
denlial--the government, iDs.igated by Arthur,
got out warrant for his apprehension with in "a
hours after his fathers judicial murder. They
thirst for the blood of the whole family. The
Queen, by her officers seized upon the late Col.
Lounr property, and took every thing, she did
not even leave his unfortunate family their wear
ing apparel. So much for royal gen tleness in
America.
a MINERAL NosE. DIR HARDWOOD an eminent
ientist of this city, has certainly accomplished
something new under the sun; he has made an
artificial nose for IA shockingly deformcd young
nan, belonging to Spencer in the Co, of Worces-
er, which can hardly be distinguished, on pretty
lose examination, from genuine nasal organ. .
When the patient was six weeks old, while lying
,pon his back in the cradle, spark from the
ire ignited the cloth spread over his face, which
vas so horribly burned that the entire nose, even
o the ossanasi or bridge homes above the cartilage
loughed of level with the cheeks. The express
ion of this unfortunate being, now perhaps
wenty years of age, was disagreeable in the ex-
reme lie came TO Boston, ostensibly, we I'M
lerstand, for undergoing the Ialiacotian opera
ion but the breadth of surface between the
,yebrows and HAIR being rather small, DR.. Lewis
Who was consulted, was convinced that the chance
# success was IL limited one, and he therefore
recommended him to allow DIR HARDWOOD to at
empt Il plan, altogether new in this country, of
constructing an artificial nose, of mineral sub
lance common v used in dental surgery for
fcial gums. The ingenuity of this gentleman
las surpassed the expectations of those who have
watched his benevolent eXerions. The
ose is superior in appearance to those construct.
d by the T'aliacotian method But separately
rom this consideration, the patieat has been saw
d from Il series of protracted sufferings under
he knife aud, on this account, every friend OF
humanity will rejoice in the success which has
marked the undertaking. In order to keep the
ew fncial apparatus always snugly in place. a
air of spectucles ale indispensable accompani-
1ents. For the sake of others, it obviously de-
olives upon DR. HARDWOOD to favor the profession
public, at least, with detailed report OF the
lanner in which this important artificial append
&c OF the face was fabricated and kept in prop
+ position. Boston Med. anil Sur. Journal.
