AN EgaIrsH OFFICER IN CANADA KILLED
FOR sEDUcTIoN.--Great excitement mas
been causedsin Montreal by the killing OF
Ensign Whitaker, Of the British army, Dy
yeunr Chaloner, on Wednesday. WHITAKER
seduced Miss ChaIoner last August, a1ses
having first put her under the 1nhnence Y.
cbinroSorn. few weeks ago he promises
"a marry her to save her from Disgrace, ous
subsequently, refused. Her father then Hsa.

acainst Whitaker for rape. The girI was
sent for. and her deposition was taken. Hnie
sb;a was eoinr on the brother entered, anu
learned for the first time of his sisters dls-
grace. 80. o,d od h;m.o,s
LII a reyoIver. and lear ming that Ensign
s1Fh; a Was at the skating rink, went
there and fred o shot ct him, saying at the
same timo. g You know what that was
for.n The first shot missed, and, as the
Officer was making o rush toward him to
seize the revolver, he fred again, the ball
entering the temple. Chaloner was imnae-
diately arr rested, and now lies in jail. The
almost una nimous verdict is that the officer
was served right. The Chaloner family
are highly respectable, and the son is not
of o .quarrelsome disposition, and is but
sixteen years, Of age. Ensign Whitaker,
at the last accounts, was still alive, but in
sensible. The brain oozes from the wound,
and recovery is impossible.
A Quebec dispatch says:
Miss Chaloner, sister of the accused, yes
terday made a deposition before the Judge
of the Sessions showing that she was crimi-
nelly assaulted by Whitaker, in her own
home, some time ago, while, under the In
fuence Of chloroform or some other drug
administered by him. Her mother was
lying-in at the time, and he had preVl-
ously promised her marriage. Their intl-
macy continued until her father, hearing
bad accounts Of Whitaker's behavior in and
ont of Quebec, forbade him the house. 1t
is supposed that the fact Of this deposition
having been made came to the knowledge OF
Young Chaloner on the same afternoon, ana
that, influenced by the provocation 1t at
forded, he went to the rink to aVenge MS
sisters dishonor.
Mr.. Frederick Charles Whitaker, the In
iured officer, is son of Deacon Whitaker, of
England, entered the army in 1865, and
was fne-looking young man OF ABOUT
twenty-five.
It seems that one of the facts sworn to IN
Miss Chaloner's deposition is that MIR. Whit
taker appointed last Friday evening for the
celebration Of their marriage By the Roman
Catholic chaplain to the forces. The young
lady and the officer went together to the
door of the chapel, and when there he
turned back and told her to inform the
clergyman that he would return at another
time

Chicago has very creditable ghost SEN
sation. Two men testify to having met the
same ghost at different times. They spoke
to it, and tried to feel it, but could not DO
30, although they could see it distinctly. 1t
was seen lying on the Chicago and North
western Railway track. The train stopped,
but it refused to move, although the en-
gineer made every exertion TO attract Its
attention. He left the. eDgine, but when ne
reached the track in front nothing was to
be seen. On returning to his post the ghost
was again visible, lying across the track.
The engineer turned on steam, but now the
engine declined to 60 on. Finally, after
ten minutes detention, the train passed ap-
parently over the body and went on its way.
The tea plant is in successful cultivation
some ten miles from Knoxville, on the farm
of Captain James Campbell, where it has
been grown for about ten years. 1t IS said
that East Tennessee tea-drinkers can easily
raise their own tea with very little cost or
trouble. The plant is deep evergreen
shrub, and grows about five feet high. 1t
is hardy, and needs no protection from
frosts. 1t bears an abundant crop, with
beautiful, fragrant flowers, in October.
The following season it natures seed,
somewhat resembling the seed of our native
hazel, and grows up readily. The vigor
and hardness of this plant, and lis adapta-
ton to the climate, have been tested. The
tea produced from the leaves of the plant
very much resembles in flavor the tea from
the young hyson plant.
