STRANGE SToRY.-Mr. Ferdinand Lafrancois
late candidate for the Provincial Legislature of
Quebec, III opposition TO Mr.. Cauchon, has made
affidavit to narrative OF fraud and violence, which
is, we suppose, unparalleled in Canada After
many Intellectual attempts to buy him off in which
four hundred dollars were offered him to retire,
he was abducted from the place of nominstion, and
detained till his opponent was declared returned
without opposition. He says;-
"When the time for the nomination came, there
was a two-horSe carriage TO the Southwest OF the
place where ! stood. This carriage, as am i'm
formed, on the order Of Mr. Simard came near me,
aud whilst il did 30 | was surrounded by the bull
lies OF whom | have spoken who said that Mr.
Cauchon must be elected, menaeing me with vio-
lenee If | did not 90 away. Then one of them
struck me with his fist on my hat another hustled
me- all rushed upon me, and having seized me
by force, threw me into the carriage where five of
them, including the coachman who acted in CON
cert with them, threw themselves upon me- The
carriage set off at great speed"

THE GARNET ORGAN. Mason & Hamlin's re-
putation, the inventors and builders of that
universal instrument, the Cabinet Organ. has ex-
tended to the iarthest bounds of civilization We
know OF no better illustration of what genius and
indefatgable energy can bring to pass than ths
same Cabinet Organ, which has become the for
midable rival Of the pano-forte in the drawing
room, and of the pipe organ in the church and
chapel. Being apparently determined that not a
family in the land shall have an excuse for being
without an instrument so promotive of social en-
ioynent and domestic harmony, Mason & Hamlin
have got up new series, called the Portable
Organ, with the same interior work, but with a
smaller and palmer case, the first style of which
is afforded at the unprecedented low price of sew
enty-fye dollars, --Neoburyport Herdid
