/
The following facts concerning DR. Kane,
the famous Artic Explorer and Miss Mar
garet Fox, one OF the Young Ladies who es-
tablished Rochesters lame for initiating the
raps OF the spirits, are quite interesting. They
come to us from fair correspondent who ia
fully conversant with all that is stated:
A book will probably appear within short
time, giving the facts in the history of Dr..
Kane, the Artio Navigator which have hith-
erto been sbrouded in mystery. II is true
that he was FOR years engaged to Miss Mar
gareita Fox, one of the young ladies who frat
presented the phenomena of spirit rapping ="

Philadelphia to remain during his absence in.

Confession of a Murderess.

Last week a woman named Perkins,
wife Of a respectable well to do farmer,
near Brantford, U. c., finding herself
upon the death bed, sent for a clergyman,
and confessed that she had at different
periods Of her life, committed sic murders,
and all by poison. At first it was imagin-
ed hat she was delirous but subsequent
inquiry has afforded ample correlation Of
the poor wretches statement. She said
that she had amania for destroying human
life, and it was only by the greatest self
restraint tina. she could keep herself from
secretly poisoning all persons with whom
she was on terms Of friendship. She, how
ever poisoned four children and two adults
and what is still more revolving, is the
fact that two of the former were her own
children, and one Of latter her first hLs-
band. The children were murdered in
England, and the adults in Canada. She
has been married to her second husband
for a number of years, and oil the time
passed for a very respectable industrious
woman. Her appearance, however, was
most revolving, and she was, in fact, the
exact image Of what we should imagine
one the weird sisters in "Macbeth" Ia
have been. She died soon after making
the above horrible disclosure.

FALL TRADE.-The Fall trade is now
opening and the merchants have general.

them have notified the community Of the
fact through the newspapers, while others
are content to let the people find it out
the best way they can. You can always
set it down asa safe rule that the best
and cheapest goods are found at estab'
lishments which are advertised. Adver.
tisers are hUe merchants, up to the times,
and not the ~ant:quated old fogies who
are doing business on principles Of a ZEN
fury ago. Look over the advertisements

sNow.-Our Oldest people, says the
Toledo Record, who have carefully noted
the "signs of the times" say hat we will
have an unusual quantity Of snow this
winter. They say that much rain dur.
ing the summer is always followed by
heavy falls of snow in the winter, and
claim that the character of the summer
is always a sure index to the character of
the winter in this respect. Our last wet
was in '56-ten years ago-and it
will be recollected hat the winter of '55-
'56 afforded more fine sleighing than any
winter since.
