they manufacture their own boots and shoes, nor
do they charge 10 or 90 Per cent. extra for fine

Nova SCoTIA.-The state of affairs in
Nova Scotia at present is peculiar and
remarkable. The House of Assembly
is proceeding with the business of the
country, but, while doing so, it emphat-
ically declares that the people OF the
Province have been, and are kept under
the act of Confederation by coercion of
the Imperial authorities, who have re-
fused to set them free; and it solemnly
protests that such measures of legisla-
ton rs it may consider necessary to pass
in the interests OF the country must not
be construed to signify any approval,
direct or implied, of the act in question.
The Nova Scotians declare that they
are determined to be free, and that
should England persist in refusing them
the justice they claim at her hands, they
will bide their time TO strike the blow
that shall give them deliverence. Iftho
Imperial authorities ever had any doubts
as to Confederation being really accept
able to these PEOPLE, they must now fee
convinced, after all that has passed anC
is passing in the Province, that the rep
RESERVATIONS made to them by the dele
cation sent to England in the early par
of the present year were strictly correct
1t remains to be seen whether, in view
of recent developments, they will recon
slider their decision, and restore hel
rights to Nova Scotia or whether they
will pursue the same fatuous policy tina
drove the American colonies into revolt
1t is significant, as foreshadowing com

THE MESSING MANN the Times of

Rutland Herdld was published relative
to gentleman who left Saratoga Springs
on Friday week, since which no traces
haddeen found of him. Yesterday
morning, Rev. d r. Campfield, of New
wark, New Jersey, father of the young
man, and ID b. lvesoe, of New York,
arrived in town on the nine o'clock
train, in search of some clue to his
whereabouts. Soon after their arrival
Henry Clark, Esq, of Rutland, received
telegram from Bellows Falls, saying
the body and clothes of man, answer
ing the description of the missing gen
tleman had been found ut that place.
In reply TO telegram, more definite
description was given, which led his
friends to believe that it was the person
for whom they were in search. They
left on the the ten clock train last even
ing for Bellows Falls, for the purpose of
identification, and if it proved to be the
missing man to convey his remains to
New York. The unfortunate gentle
man is the Rev. n. =. Campfield, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, at Cazeno-
via, Ny. He was % years of age, and
man of ability, and leaves n young
wife. He was at Saratoga seeking resi-
after severe mental labors and becoming
depressed in spirits it took the form OF
insanity, which resulted in his death. -

NEW York, 8.
The trial of James Whalen for the
murder of Il. ID Arcy Niece, commenced
at Ottawa, yesterday morning. The
Court was densely crowded and there
was much excitement in the city
James O'Riclly of the Queens Court
appeared for the Crown, and Mcssrs. j.
II. Cameron, Kenneth Mckenzie, and
Mr. Cameron for the defence, assisted by
NJ. o. Farrell, the celebrated criminal
lawyer Of Quebec. The prisoner APP
peared pale and nervous but answered
boldly to his name. After the jury was
drawn Mr.. Reilly opened the case stat
ing that the crown expected to prove
that the murder was planned by band
Of conspirators in Montreal and the pris-
oncr was the instrument chosen to carry
the crime into effect. The defence made
no opening speech. A large number of
witnesses were examined for the crown.
The most important evidence given is
that of Larevie who swore he saw Wha-
len shoot Niece.
The other evidence was circumstan-
tial, and differs in no material degree
from that elected at the inquest, but is
very damaging to Whalen.
The trial will occupy four or five days.
