on the same col1modious plan Of the New York ard
Erie line. The railroad from Toronto to Guelph

city with the Guelph and Lake Huron lines are in

A trip from this 10 Lake simcoe Is worthy Of spe.

MORBID CURIOSITY.

One who reads the papers with attention, cannot
fail to be struck with the morbid and indecent spirit
of curiosity which possesses the masses in thelarge
Cities on the subject of crime and its results. Some
vile wretch burns dwelling, or robs, or commits
murder, and is arraigned for trial, and forthwith
one-hah or three -fourths of the population are
wild with excitement. They crowd about his pris-
on to catch glimpse of his person-to observe
the color of his hair his size, his look and bearing
The recent trial of Spring, in PHILADELPHIA,
heretofore noticed in this paper) for murder, is
case in point. The newspapers inform us that so
eager were the crowd to see the prisoner that the
strongest opportunities were made to just LEI
them take peep him through the door," Even
women joined in the desire, and the officers had
to show him to them. A number of female mem
bers of the Society of Friends were among the
applicants for sight.
tits unjust to blame the newspapers in the large
Cities referred to, for this state of things. They
are but the organs Of the public feeling-they on
ly respond to the depraved tastes of those who
support them. 1t is true, they might contribute
in some degree to check this feeling, as some of
them do but the most of them yield to the cur
rent and regularly up for their eager readers
all that is exciting or horrid.
| This morbid curiosity is an indication of ten
dency to crime, to say the least 1t is proof that
the masses Of society take interest in whatever
is revolving shocking-they talk over it, enlarge
upon it, describe it, wonder about it, and thus come
in contact with it in imagination-in heart. The
same persons, in Philadelphia and other Northern
Cities, who thus give themselves up to the luxury
of learning all the points in the character of a
murderer, will in the next breath deplore the imagi
nary wrongs of the negro and then 60 about
preaching Abolitionism.
Spring has been convicted of murder in the first
degree, and will be, as he ought to be, hanged !;
and then the Philadelphia crowds will be furnished
with pamphlet, with cuts to suit, detailing all
his life, his crime, and the manner of his execu-
ton. The next step will probably be, to take the
daguerreotype of the condemned with the rope a.
bout his neck, as he drops from the platform into
eternity.

MAIL ROBBERIES.
eternity.

The stealing of money from the Mails is becom-
ing a serious grievance in this State. Hundreds
and probably thousands of dollars have been pur-
Joined since the first of January some cases the
letters fail to to hand, and in others they are
received without the money. The system of rob-
berry appears to be widespread. We have heard
of losses in several directions. A gentleman, we
learn, mailed 800 at Cheraw for this place, which
was not received; and considerable sums mailed at
Smithfeld for Richmond and Baltimore have been
distracted We hear also of losses, and have in
CURED ourselves, III the Mails due at this
point from the Eastern and Northeastern portions
of the State-indeed the losses have been heaviest
in these directions.
We have reason to know that the Postoffice De
partment has taken the necessary steps to detect
the criminals and bring them to punishment. We
hope the strictest watch will be continued until
this grievance is remedied.

THE "MOUNTAIN BANNER"

Mr.. Wilson offers this establishment for sale.
He says the Banner is in its fifth year of pub
LEGATION, with compromising subscription list and
a good advertising patronage.
The purchaser must be one who will conduct
the paper on Democratic principles.
The Waterman says Mr. Wilson was in Sails
bury on the oath. We should not be surprised if
he to establish journal in that place. Sails
bury is improving, with bright prospects in the flu
ture, and such location is decidedly preferable to
one further west.
