Mr. TIMOTHY TURNER, the well.knowr
Temperance Lecturer, visited this c;tv ~
saturday and delivered two Lectures, one on
the evening OF that day, and the other ON
sunday afternoon. All who heard him. seem.
cd well pleased, and the general opinion =.
ong them, as far as we have heard il ex
pressed is, that new impulse has been given
% the temperance cause in this place. The
.ogency OF his reasoning-the aptncss of hia
nustratlons-and the candid manner in which
ne treated his subject, did much in con.
tinclng his auditors that the success Of the
temperance cause depends more on the in.
ol''dnsl self denial Of those who indulge in the
temperate use Of intoxicating drinks, than in
aenounclng or even closing those places where
ufu'nAards usually resort. And for this simple
.eason las long as respectable men use in

The editor of the Gazette, who processes to
be the pink of gentility, and turns up his nose
at our ''horse hide boots, and despises our
!" want Of proper dignity" must have had
very elevated views of gentility and dignity
when he concocted the above sentence; but
after all it may perhaps be favorite axiom
among the members of his "private circle. y

provisions for his relatives, wishes to avoid the
odum which scrpturally attaches to the one

THE MAGISTRATES AND Police. On the
2oth OF July, Chief Constable Cox, of Bor.

IN Tins county, to protect the public peace,
that district having lately been much dis

leuds, and the hostility Of rival factions.

mound al the southern extremity of the

crowds were assembled from the county

when large mob, armed with stones and

down The hill, and arrested three of the

Hon. d. B. VlGER.-This gentIeman's
name appears among those TO be tried for
High Treason before the Criminal Court
now sitting in Montreal. We believe the
accusation to be false and malicious. Can
i, be believed that a man, who would give
only too dollars for the relief Of the prison
ers Of 1888, and but foe pounds towards
procuring counsel for them, although his
income is several Thousand a year, would
be very deeply engaged in any reasonable
plot: No! Dennis Benjamin Viger is clear

TO POSTMASTER

The criminal Court for the District o
Montreal has been in Session since the e7tt
uIt. Out % Grand Jurymen not on,
belongs to the liberal party. The mos
prominent trial is that of our unfortunate
countrymcn Mr.. JaIhert Of ST. Denis who
is so maiciously accused OF the murder Of
Lieut.. Weir, during the instruction Of
1887. On the S0th Of the last month Mr..
Mondelet the Counsellor of Mr.. Jalbert
made motion to the effect that the pri-
soner should be allowed TO withdraw his
plea OF mol gully, which he had made at
the criminal court held in September las /
Mr.. Mnndelet argued that as that part OF
Lord Durham's Proclamation and ordin.
ance which excepted certain individuals.
among whom was Mr.. JaIhert, had been
c'saIIowed by the Queen, whilst the general
amnesty was maintained, the prisoner
ought, in the due course of Justice to be
discharged, The Court of course over
ruled this motion, and the prisoner was
put on his trial on Tuesday last. We re-
cord the names of the petty jury who is
called to decide upon the life or daa,h or
this venerable patriot, so as to be able 10
mark them for the indignation Of the
whole world if they render a corrupt and
partial verdict, according to the pleasure OF
The Crown. Their names are-Ftienne
