MONSTER. We learn from Englah paper,
that gentleman travelling along the road Cold
brook had his attention attracted the screams of
n child in the care Of a trampng woman, who had
two other children totally blind also with her. The
cries ofhe child were distressing that he insisted
on knowing the cause, but not getting satisfactory
answer, he forciby removed bandage from its eyes,
when, horrd to relate he found them encased with
two small perforated shells, in which were two live
black beetles for the purpose of destroying the sight
The woman instantly seized and given into GUS
tody, and ut the magistrates meeting at Elton,
mitted for trial. There is much reason TO fear
that the wretch produced the blindness of the other
two children by similar means.

DISTRESSING GALE AND LOSS OF LIVES.

DISTRESSING GALE AND LOSS OF LIVES.
A friend at Kennebunk has furnished us with the
following particulars of the loss of the four men from
q schooner belonging to Kennebunk- port, mentioned
in paper of last week. 1t appears, too that fears
entertained for the safety of another vessel, in
company with the one which suffered such loss.
Many of the enterprising seamen of Kennebunk have
met watery grave within the last two years.
''Arrived at Cape Porpoise, August 25th, fishing
schooner Araunah, from Bay Chaleur On Sunday,
August 20, the Seal Islands bearing North, 80 miles

The Araunah sailed from the Bay in company with
