Little solitary island IN the Pacific

life, in the enjoyment Of perfect pace
and soci Il happiness, and shut out hy
their own desire from the hustle aud tn
mutt OF the rest Of the world.
In 1914, the "Ien Mut!neers were
first discovered to have taken ref on
Ptcairn's Island. At that lir the
original number, none but john adams
survived, and the royal pardon VAS i'm
inedisteiy extended to him. As years
went by, the lonely settlers increased in
,u,Hber. and 60 far back as 1881. thev
emigrated to Otahelte, fiuding their own
little island too sma! to afford them
permanent subsistence. 4 Accustomed to
their own primi,I state Of living, they
soon found association with the iabitl--
ans iatoIerab!s, and, abandoning their
plan, returned whence they caue.-
Twenty years after this, fnding their
numbers continually increasing, they ad.

\ Boy fuURrEES lEARs OLD Con
rIcrED OF MURDER AND SESrEN,ED 70
nF4Ttl.-In the Toronto Globe we find
detailed account Of the trial Of boy
named James MGarrie, between thirteen
and fourteen years old, for the murder
of james M'CulI, a boy nine years Of
age in October last, in the township of
G Garatay, Canada. According to the eyi
ivnce. the murder was most deliberate
an inhuman. Having had quarrel
with the boy M'Cull. enticed him into
the woods to get apples, and when there
he best him with stick, and afterwards
took piece OF a broken bottle, cut his
throat with it, and inflicted gashes and
