BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-A tragedy o {
the most cruel and revolving nature took
place at Sandgate one day last week.
1t seemed that gathering of young peo-
pie took place at the house Of a Mr.
Hoyt, and during the evening number
of demons in human shape succeeded in
drugging a little girl Of thirteen years,
(who was living with Mr.. Hoyt) and in
that helpless condition several Of tie
british wretches succeeded in their hell
ish designs upon the person of their in
nocent victim, who fingered for three
days when she died Before she died
she gave the names Of several Of the
murderers, and detailed infinitely all
their transactions during the period Of
her consciousness.
After hearing Of her death several Of
the wretches-aye, more, murderers,-
fled but a number Of them have been
arrested. Let the perpetrators Of the
dark deed have fair and impartial hear
ing, guaranteed them by the laws of the
land, and then. if the evidence is con-
elusive, let the full weight of the legally
prescribed penalties fall upon I h e m
whether it consigns them to the walls Of
a pFison or the gibbet.-.St AiJaHs Dem

THINK OF rT.-We are told that in
the town Of Thetford there are % places
where liquor is sold. Queer. Why not
repeal all liquor laws, aud throw the sale
open to all, without restrictions Would
there not be less liquor sold and drank
than now? If under a prohibitory law
liquor shops multiply, would it be any
worse under no law at all?
