Wrong Conviction.

Oue of the most remarkable cases IN the
whole history Of English criminal law was
the trial aud conviction of MIR. Barber,
the solicitor, at the Old Bailey. IN April,
1874, on charge of forgery. lie was SEN
fenced to transportation for life, and was
sentenced to Norfolk Island, at that time the
worst of penal colonies. Mr.. Barber suffered
great misery irem the character and conduct
of bis sssociates--the worst IN the three
kingdoms. Lately, extraordinary clrcum-
stances have led to the proof Of his Innocence
followed by free pardon" end his return
to England OF course, his conviction led to
the disappearance OF bis name from the roll
of attorneys practising in the superior courts,
and when he came back his restoration to
the list was the first object Of his solicitude.
Even this was uphill work. Bot every step
which be made in his endeaVors toraise him
self to the position from which he had been
so iniquitously and uneA pectedly hurled, Oh.
" served to place the proof OF his Innocence
and the injustice of which be had been the
victim in a stronger light, until at length the
Court Of Queens Bench, 10y its unanimous
decision in his favor, showed how cruelty
Mr.. Barber had been treated by society
through its legal and accredited agent. a
committee of the House OF Commons have
moved to indemnify him for his losses.

The Peaks OF otter.

Have you ever visited the noble old Peaks
of Otter? They are among the most su oiime
Jobs that Nature ever turned out OF her shop
and to look at them makes man ieel how
insignificant he is. Really, you can have
no idea of their grandeur unless you see
them. All the poetry, aud prose, and
bombast, and hifalutin 10 the world
would never convey an adequate idea OF
the sublimity Of the scene. Isolated
as it were from ali association, they stand
out in bold relief against the western
sky, Just as though the hand oil Omnlpo'
tence had formed and then dropped them
there to DO monuments OF his power, and
beacons to point men TO better and pur-
or sphere. For more than twenty miles, as
you dart along the rail, you have them 10
view. Now they seem to be moving back
in the distance, and now approaching as II
they would run over and crush you. Now
they are behind you; now at your side, and
now before you; and as their appearance
changes, you wonder if they are not great
giants stalking about seeking whom they
NAV devour."

Cd 70 Mrs. Mary p. Tyler, Boyd's Tavern

Their Mrs. Mary ?. Taylor, who was then at

,broucb mistake package intended for q
ladv at Boyd's Tavern. He then re-closed it,
and having written upon the cover that he
had opened it through mistake, sent it to it's
nToner destination. These facts soon got to
the ear of the Special Agen: sf the Post othce

brought to Jail. .
The Jeasrsonian says that the Agent has
had hi. eye upon Taylor fCg the last eighteen
months, in consequence of Several losse' du-
ring that time, between this Office and Pal

informed that the accused has not been CO.

months and any losses prior to that period
