| ANexecution in Canada is very solemn af-
tar, Judging from the account given of the re-
cent hanging of woman-murdcrer at Mon
treaL AT given hour the sheriff appears at
the CELL and in the name of the Government
demands his victim. The prisoner is delivered
up by the Jail authorities with considerable for
mality, and is then at once conducted into the
surgery, where a group of priests gather around
him and read the Miserere, if he is a Catholic,
and say simple prayers if he be Protestant.
While the prayers are in progress the execu-
toner, clad from head to foot in black Grape,
glides in and pinions the prisoners arms He
then adjusts the moose of the halter about his
neck and marches him into the prison yard and
thence to the scaffold. The body drops into a
pit in the centre of the scaffold and the doctors
are IN waiting, out of sight of the crowd, to
pronounce upon the mans final demise. An
i''S' Is then held by jury assembled in the

IMPROVEMENTS AT WINDHAM-We under
stand that the water-power and tract of land
on the west side of Mallison's Falls, in Cor
ham, is about to be transferred to Mr. Law. of
New York, wealthy capitalist, who will at once
put up pulp and paper mill and will employ
about 400 hands, This will give an impetus to
the business at this point, and eventually create
village The effect of the improvement of the
Water-powers on the Presumpscot is shown al
ready in the recent purchase and improvement
of mill site at Little Falls a mile below, by
Mr.. Wardwell. About fifty house lots have al
ready been taken up for immediate occupation
The occupancy of these two powers will in the
course OF five years build up a village of $500
or 1900 inhabitants on the bank of the river,
and increase directly the business of Portland
to a corresponding degree

SOUTH CAROLINA FINANcEs.-Late informa-
ton from South Carolina shows that the finall-
ces of that State are in much worse condition
than heretofore reported. 1t appears now that
under every act authorizing the issue of State
bonds there has been an over-issue. Under the
act funding the bills of the Banks of the State
there was an over-issue of half million, and
under the act of 1861 for the relief of the treas
ury, there We're duplicate issues, making an
amount double that anticipated by the people
The act for the conversion of securities is even
worse. Suits are to be brought against all par
ties implicated in these over-issues.

IT was Judge Pratt or some other one of
Jim Fisk's several judges that put legal in
junction upon not only the pen but the tongue
of Miss Mansfield so that she should not tar
nish the fair fame of the pure Erie king by
the foul breath ofslander or with pen dipped
in the ink of envy or revenge, spatter it,
Great Fisk! greater judge! What measure
less blessing you would have conferred upon
the prosecuted man had it not been for that
old fogy, Judge Brady who holds the opinion
that mandamus directing woman to hold
her tongue, cannot issue, for it is not ''within
the scope of any loyal process to violate law
of nature" Did he consider what immunity
his sex would enjoy from the entire sister
hood of tongue lashers-and yet make this
decision?

In their time so called courts Of justice have
done their part, not only to establish the fact
of fallibility of the human race, but of its ten
dency to total depravity; but since the bred
Scott decision, in small way, we have seen
nothing more striking than the decision of
one Judge Nelson, of New York, in the case
of the widow of John Madden whose husband
was killed in the Westfield explosion. Mrs.
Madden only claimed three thousand dollars
of the rich Staten Island Ferry Boat Compa-
ny and any ordinary man would have thought
that judge and jury having any more sense
ofjustice than gorilla would have delayed a
moment when the proof of the fact was estab-
ished. But Judge Nelson actually charged
the jury that the fact that the accident to this
passenger occurred while travelling ON the
Sabbath, is bar to the recovery of damages.
The wisdom of law which should permit
corporations to enjoy all the profits of Sunday
travel without mourning any responsibility
whatsoever, could only be discovered by those
astute legal minds who, failing to find a ra-
tional defense for their clients, middle the
jury by the tortuous process of ''hair-split-
ting"
