Who was the Murderer?

We notice a paragraph in an OK
change, taken from an article in the
n. Y. Times, iustifying the refusal OF
Gov. King to show lenicncy to the
boy murderer Rodgers. The extract
is as follows :
To all questions pertaining to his
guilt he had from his first arrest,
but one answer, and he persisted
in it to the last, that if he stabbed
Mr.. Swanston he did not know what
he was doing, and had no intention Of
killing any body. He owned, howcv-
or, that he was drunk at the time, and
had been led away by bad compan-
ions.
This is indeed q hard case, and a
sad commentary on the evils Of intcm-
perance and bad associates. This
mere boy in a momcntary fit OF drunk
en- frenzy stabbed a man mortally and
has suffered the extreme penalty OF
the law for willful murder thus adj
ding two more victims, the murdered
and murderer, to the long list OF vic
tins of early intcmperance. Let the
youth of the land take warning in the
sad fate of young Rodgers, who was
admitted to have always been a good
boy. a kind. aflcCtiOnatc, and dutiful
soma steady, honest and industrious
lad. On the night f tho f"'ol decd, he
was ovcr-pcrsuadcd by two other boys,
and for the first time in his life got
drunk, and willie drunk the deed was
committed. How much of response
bility for that murder attaches to the
vender of the liquor which fired his
BRAIN" is Of fearful import to that
man.-Rock. Reg.

Madame Tussand, in her Memoirs of

in Paris, says (: "The richest embroi-
dered suit was an object OF lnsipidity,
and passed ~unnoticCd, while the SIM

mind which made his attire seem
beautiful. We always take pleasure
in the society of the educated. There
is a satisfaction in that conversation
which makes us forget the speakers
attire however coarse, and makes the
plainest face look handsome. The
scleducated mind is like a monument
which stands erect, though it stands
alone. Sorrow may plunge it into
the furnace of aflliction, but, like gold,
it comes forth unscathcd, seven times
purified. Such a mind can only be at
tanned through a just appreciation OF
its value, energy and perseverance,
frmness and decision. A constant
effort is necessary to unite wisdom
with discretion, cxcrting a faithful

The FRASER RIVER CON MIyEs.-ThC
glowing accounts of the richness oil
the Fraser River Mines, which were
published Immediately on their dis
covery, were very deceptive. The
following condensed statement from q
recent San Francisco paper, exhibits
the contrast between romance and
hard reality:
al. That nearly all the gold dug
i'll New Columbia has been brought
TO California. 2. That the gross
amount will scarcely exceed half u
million Of dollars. 3. That for the
space of six months out Of the nine
that the Fraser River Mines were
worked, at least ten thousand miners.
Of all sorts and classes, were engaged
in the operation. 4. That during the
other three months, not less than two
thousand persons were so employed.
Leaving the last mentioned class
entirely out Of the question, and
throwing in the result of their labors.
we shall have a return of $50 to
each miner of the ten thousand for
his six months hard work. Then
reckon expenses, say about $3.50 per
MAJ for the period mentioned, inclu-
ding passage money, and we come to
the u~nfavorable conviction that they
sustained a loss of $500 each"
