above the town, and is distant from it about

A man writes to the New York Sun, thus:
"The murderer of Mr.. Rogers walks the
streets of New York as free as any other man,
nor does he belong to the Nineteenth street
gang. Now, the man that committed the muir
der lives in Ninth street, and he done it out of
a great motive, in which the murderer's life
was concerned. Mr.. Rogers held a secret
which could bring the murderer to State Pris.
on for life, or the gallows, and he adopted
this method of getting rid of him. As am a
man that don't want to see any man suffer for
another mans crime, I will some day point out
the base, heartless murderer"

JUDGE KINGsBURY PRESIDING


WORCESTERSHIRE VS.. John j. Mayburv. Ae-
ton for false pretences, nasmuch as that the defend
ant did knowingly and with intent to defaud on the
10th day of October 1867 make false representations
to one George Smith that he (Maybury) was DOS
sessed of certain property which was unncumbered.
and by reason OF such representation obtained loan
OF some $3.50 on mortgage of the property Plea not
guilty. The Judges decision was probable cause.
He thought the fact that Maybury was at the time
of the transaction a member OF the Cumberland
Bar (since expeed) Of two weeks standing admitted
upon examination, and with certificate of good
moral character, would be apt to induce business
man Oh usual shrewdness to accept his word and his
mortgage without the same amount of Investigation
that would be employed in dealing with another
business man. Respondent was ordered to recoe-
nize to the State in the sum of $500 with sufficient
sureties for his appearance at the Super,or conrt

HOWE ABOUT Mr.. HowE?-The Daily Ad-
vertiser is quite consistent in sticking to Mr..
Howe, Familiarity known in the lower provin-
ces of the Dominion of Canada as so. Howe"
Mr. Howe went to England during our civil
war and abused US there as roundly as ever
Roebuck did, and far more effectively, because
he was supposed to know us better. In his
own Province of Nova Scotia it is universally
held by members of the Liberal and anti-con-
federation party-almost the whole people, in
short-that Mr.. Howe has just sold himself to
the Dominion for office, thus presenting de-
cidedly the most disgraceful example of venal-
ity that any distinguished public man of this
generation has afforded. The Advertiser COM
pares the remarks of the Press upon him to the
abuse heaped by the Democrats upon their
disaffected members who Joined the Republi-
cans in 1861. The parallel does not lie. The
Democratic patriots of 1861 went to the patri-
OF side, where the people were, for love of
country. Mr.. Howe, on the contrary, goes
for office, to the conservative, tyrannical, I'M
patriotic side, where his people are not But
the Advertiser, being of the Tories, naturally
ranges itself ON the Tory side. But we do not
sheer at respectable journalism" as the Ad-
vertiser alleges 1t is Pecksnifian journalism
that merits and receives our condemnation.
How the fallen Nova Scetian whom the Ad-
vertiser SO jealousy defends is regarded in the
Provinces is seen from the following extract
from the st. John Globe of February first:
A telegram to the morning papers states
that Mr. Howe was on SatRrdgy last sworn in
President of the Council at Ottawa. Our
government contemporaries are greatly pleas
ed at this. Mr.. Howe is unquestionabiy first
CLASS convert, and they may well rejoice over
him.. We add him to the long list of persons
who have been unable to withstand the bland
ishments and seductions of Ottawa, and who
has by this act of his, destroyed the last YES
tige of respect that remained for him as con-
sistent public man, Ii Mr.. Howe had gone to
Ottawa, and made such arrangements on be-
half of his Province as, in his Judgment, the
circumstances of the case would justify, and
then gone back into his position, his conduct
might be excused. Now he appears in the
