TRAGEDY IN A CATHOLIC CHURCH. ira
gedy occurred in Catholic Church at
Plqua, Ohio, on Sunday morning. While
the congregation at the st, Mary's (Catho-
lie) Church were engaged in Worship, q
young woman by the name of Miss Mary
Maher entered the church and took seat,
and In few moments thereafter deliber-
ately took from her pocket apistol and shot
a young man named Thomas Wise, who
occupied a seat Immediately in front of her.
Wise, after being shot, arose and started
towards the entrance The woman pur-
1',ed him, endeavoring to fire upon. him the
>tcond time, but was prevented from doing
SO by q policeman who happened to be pres
sent, and who arrested her. The cause of
! this terrible affair is not yet fully known,
but 1t appears from the various reports in
circulation, that Wise bad at one time pro-
missed to marry the lady, had determined
not to fulfill his promise to her, and had
since engaged himself to another, which
engagement was announced in the church
that morning. Wise's condition is con-
sidered rather critical, as it is supposed the
ball penetrated one of his lungs

CRISIS IN CANADA.

Dissatisfaction with and Distrust Of En- nylans---A
Special Commissioner sent TO the Old Country
Withdrawal Of fTrcops.
A correspondent, of the Philadelphia In
qnirer, writing from Toronto on June Is,
says;
A crisis in the affairs of this country as
regards its relations with England has at
length been reached, and there is no saying
what may be the result. Thoroughly loyal
to the Empire of which they form part,
and ready to sacrifice almost anything for
the sake of their new allegience, our peo-
pie. nevertheless, appear to think that they
are just now the objects Of the greatest con-
tempt in Great Britain.
On every hand it is averred that the Gov
ernment aud press do not treat them with
the consideration which is their due as col
onlsts, and 1t is an undeniable fact that an
intense ieeling that the Dominion Govern
ment were induced to take the matter up,
and as a consequence, Mr.. Postmaster G eu-
eral Campbell will sail from Quebec to-day,
charged with the special mission OF making
certain representations to the Imperial Gov
eminent on the subject, and urging the
necessity of demonstrating against the al
legged misconduct of the United States iu
connection with the recent Fenian raid
There has been growing feeling of dis.
trust Of England manifested here for a long
time and it has eliminated in the universal
expression of dissatisfaction now ringing
through the land
Never in the history of Canal was there
such general expression OF feeling before
as is now heard in all quarters; men of all
classes and parties concur iii denouncing
England for the way in which the Fcnian
raid has been alluded 70; aud the belief
gains ground that the time has come, which
English statesmen looked forward to as the
turning point in the Con ntinuance of the re-
lations Of this Colony with the mother land.
Many, too, are preparing to accept the sit
uation, and let no one be surprised if the
event so ctten spoken Of should be precip-
itated much sooner than was anticipated.
1t seems to have been expected that
when Mr.. Gladstone and his friends came
into Office a change would be made in the
disposition Of the troops sent out for the
protection of this Colony, but it was neve,
supposed that there would be a sudden and
entire change in the policy of England
with regard to its connection with this
country The Withdrawal OF troops wa,
looked upon as mere temporary expedicnt
to satisfy the wishes Of certain members ot
of the Imperial Government, and the mat
ter was not seriously thought Of. When
however, it was seen that their remova
would neoessitate the raising of an armec
force in the country, especially to defend i
against England's and not Canada's cue
mics, our people may be excused if they
protested against such an arrangement. s.
long as the connection continued, there
was OF course nothing to expect but sab
mission to the wishes of the Imperial all
thorities, but it is now felt that even sub
; mission may be carried too far.

often so much so as in the case of Miss Ida

him, but another cSarmer came around,
and as she loved No. 2 better, she threw

trouble came in, for No. l wouldn't stay

would Kill himself if she didn't consent to
marry him. She consented and No. 2
went overL card, and with him her happi-
ness. He hadn't sense enough TO come
back and swecr he would commit suicide,
and make her have him over again. So
she moped and made ready'to marry the
man she didn't lovf. and just before the
wedding, shot hersel. with a pistol. The
curtain falls with final exhibition of frantic
grief and touching despair on the part OF
all concerned.
