AN INFANT MURDERER.-A letter
from Fort Pitt, small settlement in
the Saskatchewan Valley, British
America, narrates a horrible incident
that took place in that settlement in
March last. A French Canadian had
killed several pigs, and his little child
rem had looked on In approving won
der at the process. Soon after the
parents went to church, and on their
return were met at the door by their
Oldest child, Gustave, an eight year
old boy, who exclaimed in childish
glee, Il have killed little piggy; come
and see" He was covered with
blood. What they saw may be infer
red from the confession of the boy as
to what had taken place. When the
parents had gone to church, Gustave
proposed to his little brother, Adolph,
that they should play killing pig. In
this request, it is supposed the unfor-
tunate little fellow acquieSced. The
youngest was to be the pig, the eldest
the butcher. Gustave eagerly assisted
his brother to undress for the tragedy
and, taking q small rope, tied him
down securely to rough lounge that
stood in the roomj he then procured
the butcher knife that his father had
used in slaughtering the pigs the day
before and plunged it into the throat
of his passive and helpless BROTHER
The wound was a mortal one, and il
is supposed that death must have i'm
mediately resulted. After the chile
had bled his little life away, the un
natural brother, with the most incred
IDLE heartlessness, took the core
which confined the body to the lounge
and tying one end around the feet of
the corpse, threw the other over til,
beam, and lending his weight ant
strength, hoisted the body, to tn,
position in which it was found; ther
not satisfied with the programme thu
far carried out, the little butche
must needs disembowel his dea,
brother almost in the exact manner il
which his father had the pigs the da
before.

ISLAND PoND.-Moses Ceyer was
arrested the 18th inst. at Hobson's
mill four miles east of this village, and
brought before Justice Ladd, for
shooting at Freeman Mason. Mason
barely escaped with his life, by throw
ing himself to the ground, the ball
passing near to and grazing his head.
1t seems that the mill hands had been
plaguing Ceyer, and had carried mat
tiers altogether too far, so that he had
provided himself with a pistol to de-
fend himself. A company of the mill
hands were standing together when
Ceyer approached. Mason spoke to
him and began TO banter him, when
Ceyer drew his pistol, threatened, and
as Mason did not heed his threat
fired upon him. After a patient hear,

been pnreasonably provoked and
abused, he was not at all to be JUST.

A HARD CONTEST WITH A WHALE.

A HARD CONTEST WITH WHALE
The New Bedford Mercury prints the
annexed letter from Capt. Malloy of
barque Osceola, of that port, giving
an account Of an encounter with a
whale on the 9Th Of December last
aAbout 300 miles north west from
St. Nicholas, we saw whales close to
the ship, lowered the boats as soon as
possible, and soon the second mate
struck large whale.@ In few min
utes the third mate struck and got
stove. The whale then went to the
second mate and knocked the bottom
out of his boat. The first mate then
brought the third mate and his crew
10 the ship. I then sent him OF to
bring the second mate and his crew
to the ship as quick as possible, as |
saw the whale was intending mischief.
In the meantime, the whale was at
work on the starboard boat, and soon
made a bad boat of her. After get
ting all hands on board, the first and
second mates, being anxious to try HIM
again, went off, but didn't geta chance
to kill him. In fact, they had as much
as they could do to keep clear OF him
and seeing that he was a dangerous
customer, | called the boats on board.
Not liking the idea of being done
Eby a whale. concluded to go at him
with the ship: got all ready and made
for him. Getting near, he turned and
came for US, striking the ship on her
port bow with his jaw, his head com
ing in contact with the cut-water
knocking it off and tearing off consid'
cradle copper and sheathing. The
shock he gave the ship was heavy, ia
king some of the men off their feet
and giving them considerable OF a
fright. Had the whale struck the
ship fair he would have gone through
her as easily as a cat would through
/ wet paper. About the time he struck
I gave him a bomb, but did not kill
|, him. So | went at him again. This
: time he did not seem to like the taste
of the ship, and so got out of the way
as fast as he could. As he passed,
: gave him another bomb and two Ian
, ces, but these failed to kill him.
, Again | tried him, but he kept clear of
} us.
| 1t being late [ sent a boat off to
make the wreck of the starboard boat
| secure to the line, to act as a drag
and went after the waist boat, now
five miles to the leeward. After get
