The greatest liar always cries tiar first,
and our whig neighbor appears to act upon
this adage to cover up his own iniquity and
innate propensity to avoid the truth, which
so strongly deyclopes itself in almost every
article which he pens. We do not know
as we ought to blame him for fault which
has become so nearly allied to his very ex-
istence, but we do not think we are doing
our duty as moral censors, not 10 point out
occasionally, some Of the most glaring false
hoods that he weekly diseminates through
his paper. For instance, as a specimen Of
his tact in this way, we would mention a
single article published in his last paper, Of
about ttUenty lines, in reference to us, in
which there are not less than scUen or eight
gross derelictons from the truth, without
the least particle Of ground or evidence to
Justify himself in his assertions in fact the
whole article is a tissue of falsehoods from
beginning to end, evidently the offspring of
distemPered and depraved mind, and must
have proceeded from his confirmed habit
ofavoiding the truth, and his determination
never to publish il. From this the public
may Judge how much credit is to be attach
ed to most Of the articles that appear in
that paper.

proUenlents.
We invite the earnest attention of every
man and woman in this commonwealth, TO
the very able, pointed, and patriotic message
OF Gov. Porter, in our columns 10 day.
Plain, simple and comprehensive, like the
message Of jefferson, it exibils in a few
words the Iunous and dsgracefu conse-
quences of the course which the federal
members of the Legislature seem resolved
TO pursue. If anything can recall the leg
lslators TO sense of duty and awaken the
people to the madness Of their measures,
this message will do it.. 1t puts the respon-
sibility on the right shoulders, and leaves
to those who are disposed to see the public
Improvements go 10 destruction, no pretext
for the act. The people will see, that the
executive has done all in his power, TO res
cue the state from impending ruin and if
ne does not prevail, on their heads be the
responsibility, who do the deed.
If the work on the unfinished lines be al
lowed to stop, and the business on the COM
pleted lines be arrested for the want of time
y repairs, the Governor and his friends
can boldly appeal to the people on the recti-
tude of his course, and learlessy demand a
favourable judgement. Will the federal
legislators dare TO do the same?

ORIGINAL BIOGRAPHY.
AMABLE DAUNAIS.
( Executed for High Treason at Montreal
I5ih Feb, 1891

l5th FEB, 1889.
AMABLE DAuYAIs was born in 1919, Of
good family; and resided at Ruisseau DIES
Meyers in the Parish of Ste. Marguerite
de Blairfndie, County Of Lapraire, Lower
Canada. Ofhis political career we know
nothing. According to the information
we can collect from people who knew him,
he was quiet unodending young man,
behaving himself very decen,ly, land having
the good will Of all his acquaintances.
The FIRST time that his name was brought
before the pnbic, was as being concerned
in the pretended murder Of spy named
Joseph Armand dit Chartrand, who was
put to death on the 9Th day Of Novem-
Der 1887, when the County Of Lacadie
was in open rebellion against the English
government. This young man actuated
by his noble patriotism, had also resorted
to arms TO deliver his country from British
oppression. The patriots were organizing
in the County Of Lacadie with the inten-
ton of joining the patriot forces at ST.
Charles, whose defeat they had not learned.
Cha,rand had enlisted in the volunteer
corps which had been formed at St. Johns,
and was sent to spy out the movements Of
the PATRIOTS at the First Grand Line where
was the general these finding
that spy was among them, and that he
had even uttered violent threats against
them, resolved that he should meet the
fate he deserved, and he met that fate
Such was the transaction for which short
time afterwards, the subject of this biogra.
ply was arrested He laid the whole win
ter 10 Jail, and when Lord Durham issued
his pretended amnesty, Mr.. Daunais with
several others, were excluded on account
off the charge OF the murder of Chartrand
brought against him. We shall not now
discuss the merits of the question, whether
II was really a murder or not. Of the
personal appearance of the prisoner at the
bar, a pamphlet which we have be-
fore US, says: "Amable Daunais is about
90 years of age. of a small stature, his looks
are decent, and he has nothing extraordin
airy about him. His color is rather dark
and his features are far from being insight
fcant." Such was the appearance of Mr..
Daunais when he appeared before the in
QUESTION under the unjust accusation Of
murder. All the proofs that could be ad-
duced against him, were brought forward
Among the crown witnesses was one man
named Elienne Langlois OF Lacadie who
had turned Queens evidence. The pr-
soner was defended by Mr.. William Wal
ker and Mr.. Charles Mondelet, both law
yers Of the greatest talents of the city OF
Montreal. The Solicitor General who
was the prosecutor for the Crown, had
made at the beginning OF the trial, long
sppcaI to the religious feeling of the jury
men, and told them that If they did not
return a verdict Of guilty" against the
accused, the departed spirit Of Chartrand
would pursue them night and dav to take
revenge. Twenty one witnesses were
heard against the prisoners, after which
Mr.. Mondelet in an eloquent speech, de-
moasuated to the Court and jury that an

We learn with much regret, that Ennisco-
thy, the splendid mansion of Col. Isaac A..
Coles, on the Green Mountains in this coun-
~, was, about noon on Monday last, discov-
cred to be on fire-and the wind blowing a
gale from North West. and driving the flames
immediately against the gable end of the
main building, every effort to save any part
OF the edifice was entirely unavailing-the
whole superstructure, as well as the princi-
pal part of the beautiful trees and shrubberry
by which it was SO tastefully adorned, were
entirely destroyed! This splendid mansion
was built by the late Col. John Coles, about
the time of the first settlement of this part of
the country-long before the Revolutionary
War; and was occupied by that gentleman
during the balance of his life. The building
had lately been thoroughly repaired and con,
siderably enlarged, by its present proprietor,
at an expense of six or eight thousand dollars,
which renderedit one of the most extensive
and commodious residences in the county,
or indeed in the State. We are pleased to
learn that the principal part of the valuable
furniture, library, paintings, &c. were saw
