become objects of public charity, es-
pecially the two honorable ones of
laD and physic, which, in surplusage,
exceeds any eastern city, in which I
have been. Allow me still further
to give my opinion as to the future
prospects ofagriculturists. This is
decidedly the most promising in
vestment, and, excluding this class
of laborers from that general class
above the most worthy of the con-
sideration of the .emigrant. There
are yet vast tracks of unoccupied al
luvial lands in this part of the west,
such as is desirable to grain grow
ers and stock raisers.
The Grasshopper fever is preva-
lent, and not without cause, as the
eggs deposited in myriads in the
earth last autumn, are springing into
life in the shape ofyoung Grasshop-
pers-looking like sand dust, flying
around the feet of the traveller.
My fondly cherished hopes of a
western home are blasted, and in
stead of the boundless prairies with
their endless variety Of flowers and
sweeping winds, long for the hills
and woods Of my native state, and
as a warning, would say to all who.
are doing well to stay where you are,
or at least do not come to this part
of the west, for if you do, you will
surely find to your sorrow, that
there is more truth than poetry in
what I have said as thousands al
ready here can tell you the same.
Yours, Very Respectfully,

A Horrible StOry-An ExtraOr-
binary Crime by Il Child.

A private letter, written by resi-
dent of Fort Pitt, small settlement
in the valley Of the Saskatchewan,
Prince Rupert's Land, contains the
following account of most terrible
occurrence which took place there on
the 18th of March:
A dreadful affair happened here
the other day; such singular and
out-of- the way crime, if it can so be
called, that it is almost without the
bounds of credibility. You know
what a quiet little village ours is !;
hedged in by the forest, primeval,
and subject only to the wants that
attend man in his primitive state, we
rely mainly on our traps and gums
as means of gaining livelihood ; we
are as happy, even in our isolation
from the busy haunts Of men, as
were the tabled dwellers in the
Utopian Arcadia. The name of the
last new conner is Martin Buthiere.
He is ha6it0ae from Lower Canada.
He came here last fall, accompanied
by his wife and five children. It is
in this family that the dreadful trag-
edy which / am about to relate took
place.
On Saturday, Buthiere killed three
pigs, slaughtering them in the usual
manner-that is, after stabbing the
animals and allowing them to bleed
to death whilst walking around he
disemboweled them, and plunged
their carcasses into vat of boiling
water, and then scraped the bristles
clean from the skin. The three pigs
were then hoisted by the hind legs
to an overhaning beam. The butch
ering operation of Martin were
witnessed by his two younger chill
dren, boys of the respective ages of
six and eight years. The eldest,
Gustave, itwas observed at the time,
seemed delighted, not only by the
stupid actions of the pigs after re
ceiving their death wounds, but also
excited and interested by the after
processes of butchering clapping his
little hands, and muttering, in the
patoss of these people, childlike OBJ
servations of joy. The butchering,
as L have before observed, took
place on Saturday. In the morning
of the next day the various mem
bers of the different households as
sembled in the little chapel at the
east corner of the fort, and heard
mass celebrated by our good father
Guoreau. He invited us to attend in
the evening, when he intended to
lecture upon some subject suited to
this season offthe Church year. In
compliance with his invitation the
chapel in the evening was filed with
the usual number of worshipers,
with the exception Of some of the
i younger memp pers of the community
who had been left at home. Among
these latter were the two boys OF
Martin Buthiere. 1t was pretty late
when the meeting broke up. L ac-
companied him and his wife towards
their house, which was but short
distance from the chapel When
within few yards of his doorstep
we were all startled by observing
/, the little Gustave running toward us
holding up his hands all red and
bloody; his eyes glistening with a
wild, but child like sort of glee, and
: crying out in broken French to the
effect that he had ''killed little piggy
come and see.Y The mother, startled
at the appearance of the boy, inter
rogated him quickly as to the cause

The Republican State Ticket.

The State Republican Convention
ton will be held one week from
next W ednesday, The County Con
ventions for nominating delegates
thereto will most of them meet on
next Saturday. There has been
very little discussion in view of the
near appro ach of. these conventions,
as to personnel of the ticket to be
nominated, and it will perhaps be
we'll to review the field, and enumer-
ate the candidates from which the
convention will probably select.
!. For the Governorship the name
Of every prominent man in the State
has been presented. Schenck, Gar
field, Dennison, Delano, Eggleston,
Bingham, Tod, Hayes, and Piatt,
have definitely declined to allow
their names to be used. A score of
of others, among them General Cow
en-. General j. Warren Cowen, Gen
eral Buckland, Hon. n. G. McFar-
land, and Hon. A. G.. McBurney.-
will, it is understood, accept the
nomination if it is rendered them
Unless some new development
should be made, however, it may be
regarded as certain that Governor
Cox will be. almost unanimously
nominated 1t is understood that
he has been persuaded to reconsider
his determination not to be candi-
date, expressed some time since in a
letter which found it's way into print,
and that he will not decline a nom
ination if rendered him. Under the
circumstances the convention cannot
do wiser thing than to nominate
him. His course in the past has
been tinctured with an unfortunate
conservatism, but he now stands
squarely upon the radical platform
embodied in the, Reconstruction
Acts of the Thirty ninth and Fortieth
Congresses, and will support, with
| his voice and vote, the Equal Suf-
frage Amendment to the State Con
stitution proposed by the Legisla7
ture at it's last session. He is there
fore now in full accord with the
most radical nakmbers Of the Repub-
lican party. Tt is of the utmost i'm
portance that. the man who car
bring the most votes, not merely to
the pending Constitutional Amend
ment, shall be put in nomination.
The State ticket will be elected al
any rate, but it will be matter o1
some difficulty to-. procure a solie
Republican vote for the Amendment
It is our opinion that Governor
Cox will, in this point Of view, be the
] lbest candidate. The Reserve will
