R The New School General AS
sembly, which has been in session a;
Buffalo for about two weeks, adjourned
on Tuesday evening week. The Buffalo
Courier remarks that the session has
been harmonious and fraternal one,
although matters have been discussed
upon which there was a conflict OF
opinion and of feeling. The slavery
question received more attention than
any other, and was disposed of in
rather harmless way. There was a
strong conservative influence in the
body-nearly all its best and most able
men deprecating further action as un-
necessary and injudicious.

Tee GsrAr CosrIAesAr1ON Is CArl

The GREAT CoSFLAeRATIoNI IN CANA
DA.-We find in recent number of the
Bytown Gazette some interesting par-
ticulars in regard to the fire which laid
waste considerable portion of the Up
per Ottowa county, in Canada. The
fire commenced on the 18th of May.
How long the FIRE ragged we are not in
formed, but it burned over a tract of
country seventy miles in length by forty
miles in breadth, nearly one-haIf Of
which had heen laid waste. The scene
was of the most terrific and appalling
nature. Hundreds of families, en-
bracing persons of all ages and sexes,
literally pursued by the flames, had to
fee in all directions with nothing saved
excepting the clothes in actual use,
which, in many instances, were scorched
and partially consumed on the back of
the fugitives. The scene of the calami
ty being in the vicinity and on both
sides of the Ottawa, many individuals
took refuge in the river to protect them
selves from the intense heat. A small
steamer assisted some of the inhabitants
in making their escape; and even they
were nearly compelled to abandon her,
owing to the excessive heat of the
woods burning on both sides of the
river.
Only one death has as yet been heard
Of, that of an aged man named
Thrasher, who perished in vain at
tempt to save some of his property.
The Gazette says:
Upward of FIVE hundred families,
according to our information, have been
reduced from tolerable competence to
nearly destitute condition, in numerous
instances without food or present neces-
sites, clothes to cover, or houses to
shelter themselves; and what is, if pos
sible, even worse, without the means of
pursuing the necessary agricultural
operations of the season. A large pro-
portion of the sufferers are persons
who a few years ago settled in that
quarter, after emigrating from Europe,
and who were by steady persevering in
dustry progressing toward independence.
The situation of these people is dis
tressing in the extreme, and unless
prompt assistance be rendered, and
with no sparing hand, will be still more
lamentable. The wholesale extent of
the calamity will be better compre
hended, when we state that in one place,
know as the Garden of Eden,"
name conferred upon it from its wonder
ful fertility, out of forty houses, only
two are left standing, and in the Des
Allumettes Island, out of ninety-seven
dwellings, the fire has spared only four.
The provisions that were by the un-
fortunate sufferers provided for their
support till the fall and winter seasons
are totally destroyed; and the very
seed, intended for sowing the spring
crop, and the farming utensils necessary
for tilling the land, have all been con-
sumed. A case is here presented that
calls loudly for the assistance of the
benevolent, and no doubt throughout
Canada, when the extent of the suffer
ing,is understood, there will be no lack
of sympathy and of more substantial
aid.

LAST winters LeEi.IarIon-PrsbateC Cour,


Had the Ohio Legislature repealed
the law providing for the publication Of
the laws in the county newspapers of the
State, instead of modifying it into the
present bungling and worse than useless
act, it would have justly entitled them to
more credit than all their last winters
acts are likely to gain. But through
fear of the consequences of direct and
honest vote, and ignorance of their plain
duty. that body land they are all hon.
orable men) shuf1ed, lodged and eva
ded, and finally passed substitute,
which incurs the expense without afford
ing to the people of the State any of the
benefits of the old law. The laws are
published up in the Northwest corner of
the State, in a little 6 by 9 newspaper,
which has no general circulation except
among the Locofocos of Wood county,
and which will not have finished the
publication until long after the laws shall
have been generally circulated and read
in the pamphlet edition published by the
Legislature.
AS people who are expected to obey
laws, are not unfrequently desirous Of
being informed as to the provisions
thereof, we publish below some of the
new provisions in the Probate law, rela-
ting to the powers and duties of that
Court in criminal actions.
The act provides that the Probate
Court shall not have jurisdiction of any
crime, offence or misdemeanor, the pun
ishment of which is capital, or by impris-
onment in the penitentiary; nor for any
offence or misdemeanor, the original and
exclusive jurisdiction of which is vested
in justices of the peace; nor of the crimes
and offences mentioned in the act passed
March 1s, 1889. Swans Stat, page
9S9; nor of those enumerated in the act
passed Feb. 81, 1884, (Swan, page 952;)
nor for violations of the act passed
March 1, 1884, (Swan, page e53;) but
shall have, after the first of July next,
exclusive cognizance of all other crimes,
offences or misdemeanors. All trans
cripts in criminal cases before magis-
trates, within the jurisdiction of the
Probate Court, shall be returned to that
Court, instead of to the Common Pleas
as heretofore. In prosecution of crimes
before this Court, no indictment by
grand jury is required, but the Prosecu-
ting Attorney in its place shall file an
information setting forth the charge on
which he shall be tried. On a plea of
not guilty, if no jury is demanded by
the defendant, the Judge can try the is
sue. For the exercise Of criminal iuris-
diction, the Court shall hold monthly
terms, commencing on the first Monday
of each month. -

LIQUOR LICENSE IN MASON COUNTY.
The West Columbia Bulletin says that
at the late term of the county court in
Mason county, Va, the court stood 10
against, and 9 for granting license to
sell liquor-some of the court, however,
did not understand that there were two
licenses already granted in the county
which could not be repealed. After
this explanation being made the court
reconsidered the vote, rejecting all Ii
censes, and finally granted licenses to
nearly all who applied.

~ In the Presbyterian General
Assembly, (old School, now in ses-
sion, the committee on African Coloui-
Eation made report of a highly inter-
estng character. They take the ground
that the return of the scattered peoule
of African descent to the land OF their
forefathers seems now to be their fixed
destiny. They will there introduce the
principles of religion and republicanism.
The committee say that they consider
the elements of prosperity SO strong in
Liberia, that in one hundred years it
will be the second power upon the face
of the earth. The report concludes
with series of resolutions, urging the
Government Of the United States to
recognize the Republic of Liberia, with
a view to securing the commercial ad-
vantages arising from the recognition.
The Report was accepted.

CoURT IN ME1es CoUNTY.-By the
Telegraph we learn that Mcintyre, who
was confined in the jail of Meigs coun.
ty, for the murder of Haggarty, was
acquitted at the last court-it being
proved to the satisfaction of the jury
that the blow was struck in self defence
The case of DR.. Gilbert Underwood
VS.. Judge VIM. Ledlie, for SANDER, ex-
cited good deal of interest. The fol-
lowing is the verdict of the jury.
1--WE, the Jury, do find the said VIII
liam Ledlie guilty of uttering the fol-
lowing language, .to-wit: 'Dr. Under
wood is the man that is suspicioned of
being the incendiary; DR.. Underwood is
the man that suspicion rests upon-sus-
picion rests upon you-it looks dark
upon you, and it remains for you to
clear up the charge And we, the
jury, do further find that the said de-
fendant is not guilty of uttering and
the other words in said
declaration set forth, in manner and
form therein alleged against him, and
we assess the plaintiffs damages by rea-
son thereof, at forty-nine dollars and
thirty-three cents.''

BODY FoUHD.-We learn from a gen.
, tleman who came down the river, on
Thursday, that the headless body of a
man, supposed to be that of WILSON
CorTRILL, of Wilkesville, Vinton coun-
ty, who left home to purchase leather
at Pomeroy, few weeks since, was
found in a cave, near the latter place,
on Wednesday last. The head could
not be found, and the body was entire
ly destitute of clothing. So there is no
certainty as to who the murdered man
was.-POrtsmOuth Inquirer.
A very palpabIe hoax, Mr.. Inquirer.
No such marvellous discovery has ever
been made "near the latter place, " or
any other place within a hundred
miles, within the recollection Of 'the
oldest inhabitant.
What has become of Cottrill, we
know not. 1t is thought by many
hereabouts that he ran away designedly.
We did hear it reported that he took
another mans wife with him. Nobody
in this region believes he was murdered.
Certain we are, that his body has not
been found in a cave, without clothes,
and minus the head. Will the editors
who published the story, please make
the correction.-Aeigs Telegraph.
