ANOTHER Ocean Tr,ron.n,,

ANOTHER OCEAN TELEGRAPH.-A new
company, the Great Ocean Company" has
been formed in London to lay another cable
across the Atlantic. The new cable, which is
on the systems of Mr.. Allan, C. e., Of London,
IS direct converse Of the late one, the pecu-
harity OF the present one being that the whole
metallic strength is placed in the centre of the
insulating medium, thus forming an inextensi-
PIC core, ana so preserving the Insulation from
injury and tension, in place of the selfde.
structive spiral wire casing as heretofore.
From Its hghtness and portability, upwards of
SOOO miles can be conveyed in one vessel and
the paying-out gear being dispensed with, 1t
can be veered out at the rate Of eight or ten
miles an hour with facility

METEoRoLoGICAL ol

A LEGAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has of late
become sadly unpatriotic. The only notice we
think of taking, of such representative days as
the 22d of February and the 4th of July, is, to
passively acquiesce in the statutes which estab-
fish them as holidays. We shut the banks and
tell people to pay their notes beforehand. We
shut the school houses and tell the children to
go home. We here and there shuts machine
shop and tell the employees to do as they
please. But, for any public demonstrations
which are made neither the note-payers, nor the
school children, nor the working men, would
know what in the world was to pay AT this
early day,-the anniversary of the birth of the
father of his country so to speak,-we take
pleasure in anticipating the time when we shall
| become sufficiently "enthused" to make gen.
uine bona tide holidays, as often as the law al
| lows.

An ATRoCIoUs OUTRAGE has been report
ed in the papers, to have occurred at st. Je-
rome, Canada 1t is stated that woman was
taken from her husbands side at night. and,
half clad, conveyed to a barn, where an at
tempt was made to cut out her tongue, and
then left tied to perish with cold. The story,
however, is somewhat softened by subsequent
accounts. No attempt was made to cut her
tongue. She was taken out of her bed with
very little clothing on, and locked up i'll sta
bic, where she remained till morning, but, for
tunatey, without suffering so much as she
might have done in some of our winter nights.
Probably the presence of the animals served
as aprotection against cold. The husband APP
pears to have been, at least a consentng par
ty. He, at any rate, took no steps to prevent
the ill usage of his wife, The Montreal Her
aid is informed that the current statement is
that the woman has, in one way or another
been the cause of considerable ill-feeing be-
tween husbands and their wives in her neigh
borhood; and this is supposed to be the cause
of the outrage.
