Nellie, sweetly.
"But they look so bad" said Tom:

something of her own and lay it beside

A BLEEDING FAMILY.-A singular story

Millbridge physician, of Rufus Mitchell
aged thirty, who recently bled to death
from slight cut: "He was one Of shose
unfortunate men who bleed from the slight.

has lain and bled till it seemed that the
blood had all run out, and then he would
gradually recover. This time the cut was
quite large, and he lived but few hours.
There is something remarkable about this
family, who are here termed as belonging
to the bleeding family. None but the males
bleed, and they are the sons Of the females
Of the same family. For instance, this man
has left children; none Of them will bleed, but
if the girls should have boys in their fami.
lies they will be Of the bleeding kind, but the
boys are themselves free and their families
will be the same. I cannot explain this.

QUEBEC, June ga remarkable case
which may end in charge of piracy
against number of Swedish and Norwe.
gian emigrants, has been investigated. and
q number of the ringleaders lodged in Que
bee jail. 1t appears that large number
of emigrants from Sweden and Norway
were brought to Canada by Mr.. Nelson.
who has large iron works ON the Lower st,
Lawrence, at place called Moisie, and they
were engaged before they left home for a pe-
rod OF three years. When they arrived out,
in the spring, they went to work, but dis.
pute arose as to the payment OF wages,
they insisting that they should be paid in
gold, and their employer giving them orders
only to obtain goods in stores kept by him
self. This they refused to remain satisfied
with, and left their work. but as they had
no means of getting away from the place,
they were in bad position, no vessels
trading there regularly except those owned
by Mr.. Nelson. In their extremity they
went down to the river in body and took
possession Of small schooner. In this
vessel they set sail for Quebec, and
arrived yesterday, all safe. The party
consisted OF men, women and children, to
the number of two hundred, when thew
landed at Point Levi, where the police were
waiting for them, as information of their
acts had been telographed to this point.
The men mostly wore sheath knives in
their belts. and looked very formidable
but on the police showing that they had
authority to arrest them they surrendered
peacefully. Twenty-eight of them, who
we're sad to be leaders of the movement. |
we're taken into custody and lodged in the |
Quebec Jail to await the evidence of Mr..
Nelson against them. and the charge of |
stealing the vessel, which the owner Of the
chooner means to bring against them.
The case is creating great excitement
'mong all connected with emigration.
