SEPARATIoN.-The Upper Canadians are
talking earnestly Of a separation of the two
colonies. One reason urged therefor, is the
extravagent salary paid government officers.
Gov. Head receives $4,000 per year salary,
besides house rent and hire of servants; the
ten ministers each, $4,000, besides six dollars
day during the sitting of the Provincial
Parliament, with mileage and immense pat
ronage.

MURDER AT WILLARps HOTEL, WASHING

MURDER AT WILLARDs HOTEL, WASHING
roN.-Hon. Philip Herbert, member of Con-
gress from California, recently murdered the
head waiterat Millards Hotel in Washington
city. 1t appears a certain regulation exists
at that Hotel in relation to the hours in
which breakfast shall be served to its guests.
Mr.. Herbert called for breakfast at an I'M
seasonable hour. The walters severally re-
fused to crafty his wishes so contrary to es-
tablished rule. Whereupon the hungry mem
Der strikes the last summoned waiter with a
cane. The waiter returns the compliment
with plate, unerr!ngly directed to point
that threatens an humiliation of beautiful
phiz. A plate-war Immediately ensues (;
those weapons not being sufficiently annihi-
lating as laid down in the code honorable,
chairs are brought into requsition, but those
being found more fragile than the craniums
of the combatants, the belligerent parties en-
gage with each other in closer and more de-
termined combat-waiters arrayed against
the Hon. member, who finding himself de-
cidedly in the minority in the war of blows
and kicks that succeed, makes use of weapon
now recognised by the "Higher Law" and
the head waiter falls at his feet bleeding
corpse. The Hon. gentleman is arrested, a
legal investigation takes place, and he is
bound over in the penal sum of $4,000, for
his appearance at the June session of the
proper Court for trial.

TANNERY BURNED.-We learn from the

tents $500 worth of finished leather was
consumed, besides large quantity of hides
in different stages of completion. Total loss
$4,000. Insurance, $1,000. The fire is
supposed to have originated in the vicinity
of the engine. The company have COM
menced to rebuild.

WESTERN GIANTS IN THEIR SLUMBER--
The Burlington Iowa State Gazette says
that while some workmen were engaged in
cxcavating for the cellar of Gov. Grimes
new building, on the corner of Main and
Valley Streets, they came upon an arched
vault some ten feet square, which, on being
opened, was found to contain eight human
skeletons of gigantic proportions. The walls
of the vault were about fourteen inches thick,
well laid up with cement or indestructible
mortar. The vault is about six feet deep
from the base to the arch. The skeletons.
are IN good state of preservation, and we'
venture to say are the largest human remains
ever found, being little over eight feet long.
AMERICAN TRACT SocIETY.-The annual
business meeting of the American Tract So
ciety, which was held yesterday morning in
the Brick Church, was perhaps the most ex-
citing ever held by that association. 1t ap-
pears that some statements were made bv
certain papers to the effect that an attempt.
would be tried secretly to aboltionize the
society, and to accomplish this it was intend
ed to have the old officers and executive
committee removed. Insnuations had also
been thrown out as to the manner in which
the affairs of the society had been conducted
by the executive committee. To show how
unfounded these charges were, committee
of fifteen was appointed to investigate its
condition. 1t was the question of the APP
pointment of this committee that caused the
excitement, and at times the meeting was as
agitated and confused as a strong political
gathering. N. Y. Herald, Thursday.
