never broken faith with anybody; and, II
his past course and his former language

the effort now making, by some who call
themselves the negroes special friends, to

The Fenian excitement has considera-
bly, abated during the past week. The
anticipated disturbances on st. Patrick's
day did not oeeur-things passing of
quietly at all points. though the day was
generally observed IA the oities and large
towns by formidable demonstrations on
the part Of the Brotherhood. 1t is still
claimed by the Roberts branch that they
viii soon make a strike at some point on
the British "a american provinces, but the
a6thorities of those provinces have made
such arEangements for defense that it is
net at all probablea demonstration of the
kind threatened would prove successful.
It is understood that our government
does not design quietly permitting any
hostile demonstration from our shores
against the territory of our neighbors of
the provinces, but nothing has yet occur
red to warrant interference with Fenian
movements.

RoBBER ARRESTED AT CHURCH.-On
Wednesday night the house of a cattle
dealer at Blenden Four Corners, was en-
tered during his absence, by a burglar
determined on possessing money that he
supposed to be about the premises. The
lady of the house. without disroblng, had
thrown herself upon the bed beside her
sleeping children, and when aroused by
the intruder's demand for money, replied
that her husband had taken all with him.
The burglar at once fred his pistol at her,
the ball, however, not striking her. He
afterwards beat her with q club and abus-
ed her IN a terrible manner, and left hur-
riedly on the approach Of some one from
the outside As there had been a bur
glary in the neighborhood the night be-
fore, the people on hearing the particu-
lars of the assault on the lady, were much
aroused, and instituted a thorough search.
A revival was in progress at the church
near by, and a suspicious individual, tax
ing prominent part in the exercises, was
arrested as a burglar He proved to be
the right man in the wrong place, and at
cnce acknowledged his guilt He had
escaped from the house, and to allay sus-
picion, had taken part In the exercises at
church, as one who had experienced a
change of heart. His hypocrisy was
thoroughly punished. How the case was
finally disposed of, we have not been in
formed. 1t Is thought the lady cannot
recover from her injuries Columbus
