that at the conclusion of the Toronto Asszes
William Abraham was sentenced to death f'r
the murder of his SON.
"lhe unfortunate man is sixty four years of
age and So feeble that he obliged to be
assisted into the dock. When asked by his lord
ship what he had to say why sentence of death
should not be passed on him. the prisoner made
~ full confession Of having murdered his son,and
said he asked no earthly tribuuala- he felt him
self unworthy of it. He only hoped for mercy
from heaven. To no enc did he bear any malice
he furgase them all. His own weakness has
been the cause Of tn dreadful crime he had com

According to the Smyrna Impartial, the shock
of the earthquake so generally felt at and Ia the

mountains have fallen down into the plains be-
meath entire villages destroyed, and moi house
in town has escaped damage The loss of life
is said to amount to some 100 souls. On the is
lands of Haiku, Cassos, and Scarpento, the dam
age was very considerable, and the victims amount
