A RELIC OF ENGLISH BARBARIsN.-The Victo-
ria Chronicle of October goth gives the partieu-
lars of what it denominates a q hard case and
which is nothing less than the Imprisonment of
woman for debt. The victim is Mrs. Wood
ward formerly Mrs. Canty, and a resident of
Weaverville. Mrs. ". on her way from Car
iboo to California, and on her arrival at Victoria
was arrested. The circumstances thus sta
ted by the Chronicle -" The claim on which she
is held is alleged to have been incurred prior to
her second marriage. Yesterday an application
was made for her discharge the ground that
she married Witnesses swore
that they knew her Mrs. Woodward. The wo-
man. having left the certificate of marriage at
home, could not produce it, and Chief Justice
Needham not deeming the evidence of the sec
ond nuptial ceremony conclusive sent the wo-
man back to Jail. where she now lies. The fact
of the prisoner being female is sufficient to ere
ate sympathy in the mind Of every citizen but
when state that she is in advanced state
of pregnancy the feeling of sympathy is accom-
panied by one of adherence at the existence OF
law that permits the practice of such barbara
ty." We have no doubt the closing paragraph
is distasteful to :" Her Majesty" " subjects of
English birth at Victoria. American public opin
ion is naturally opposed to the existence of this
relic of barbarism which imprisons even man
for debt, but the case in question makes it still
more aggrayating and loathesome. Charity would
dictate that the American residents of that En-
glish hole Immediately contribute the amount re-
quircd to set the prisoner at liberty, and justice
- that they provide her prosecutor with coat of
tarand feathers at the first favorable opportunity
REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM INSTANT DEATH.-
The Virginia (Nevada) papers give the particulars
of a miraculous escape with life of little boy
of three years who fell into deserted mining
shaft over one hundred feet deep. The little fell
low and a favoritc Newfoundland dog miss
ing on the afternoon of the eth Of October, and
were not discovered until dark of the day follow
ing. Every nook and corner of Virginia City
was examined, and when all hope of finding the
child was abandoned the distracted father, John
Roark weary and worn with unceasing search
went once more into a tunnel just back Of the
Ophir works, and one hundred and fifty feet from
its mouth to old shaft which, according
to the Territorial Enterprise and Virginia Union,
was one hundred and thirty feet deep He shouted
down the shaft. he had done in others, when
to his indescribabc JOY little voice answered

rushed for assistance, ropes procured and
a man lowered to the bottom, where lay the little
lost one, with his dog beside him, and wonderful

soon hoSted to the surface, and after the excite
ment had subsided the dog rescued in like
manner. The boy face and knees were badly
bruised aud cut. but not 50 badly but that he
will soon recover. The boy is supposed to have

to the New York Herald, dated October 9th,
SAYS it is positively known there that jeff Davis
will be tried for treason. and that arrangements
to that effect nearly complete the trial VIII
take place either at Washington or Richmond
While we believe that under the law there is no
doubt as to Davis guilt we may conclude that
he is perfectly safe from conviction in either ot
the places mentioned.

speedy and eflicacious in promoting permanent
cure. Sold BY all druggists, at 25c., 62c and
