Joseph GuibOrd.

The body of Joseph Guibord was buriet
ON Tuesday, at Montreal, Canada, after {
contest lasting six years, between the civi
and the ecclesiastical authority The case
briefly, is as follows: Guibord was Frencl
Canadian printer, a member of the Roman
Catholic Church, and described as an excel
lent man in character. He became mem
Der of the Institut Canadien, free read ins
room and library. This society placed upol
its shelves certain works of Moliere, Voltaire
and other Objectionable volumes; upon Which
those of its members who were Catholic.
were informed that so long as they were con
nected with this society they would be re
fused the sucraments of the church, anC
would be debarred ecclesiastical burial. Sew
erai members left the society but GuiborC
remained. Shortly afterwards lie fell sicl;
and sent for q priest, who refused him the
last sacraments until he renowned his mem.
bership with the Institut. Guibord promis.
ed, received extreme JUNCTION, and recovered
but did not leave the society. A year or SO
afterwards, in November, 1860, Guibord died
suddenly, without having an opportunity TO
renouncc bis membership. The church au-
thorities thereupon refused to allow his body
to be buried il the Catholic cemetery, where
he owned a lot. His wife obtained an order
to compel the church 10 permit the burial to
take place at the cemetery, but the church
appealed. Guibord's widow died and was
buried in the lot in dispute. The case final-
ly went before the highest tribunal, the
Queens Privy Council, and that body in
July last granted the order prayed for. An
attempt was accordingly made last Septenl-
Der TO bury Guibord's remains in the consc
Grated ground but it was frustrated by a
mob, who assembled at the gates and violent.

the spot in the cemetery where he might he

Council, and secure resting place for Gui-
bord's bones in the cemetery lot. On Tues
day the interment took place, no resistance
whatever having been made. The grave was
filled up with cement and guard placed
over it to prevent any attempt to remove the
body until the cement should harden. Thus

The Constitutional Amendment.

It's very gratifying TO all who desire that
the administration ofjuslice shall not be i'm.
peded, and In fact often. entirely frustrated,
as was the case under the provisions of the
constitution permitting parties indicted for
criminal offences to remove their cases upon
their own mere affidavit, that this portion of
the constitution has been amended by dc.
cisiye vote of the people at the late election,
so as,to make the removal discretionary with
the court. 1t may not be amiss to state that
our Senator from Hartford, Hon. John Car
roll Walsh, was the first TO call the attention
of the Legislature 10 this important matter,
as we find on the Senate Journal that on the
10Th of January, 1874, he introduced the fol-
lowing order:
"On motion of Mr.-Walsll, It was Ordered.
That the Committee on Judicial PROCEEDINGS

members answered TO their names: Messrs
Ball, Hays, Willis, Gorrell, James Lee, Glasgow,
Lochary, Archer, Webster, Parker, Moores, Ro
gers and VIM. ID. Lee. The strangers present
were Messrs. Sawyer, Wilson and Alexander.
On motion, Mr.. Reeve was elected an honorary
member. Subject: "Should u farmer farm
with view to pecuniary profit, or to the i'm
provement Of his land?
Mr. Archer opened the discussion by PROFOUND.
ing The following question: Suppose Il man
Is plowing and his pillow strikes stone, should
he stop and pick the stone out, or run over il
time and again, until he breaks his pillow ?" He
also mentioned the different views Of two of his
nneighbors, and drew comparisons. cone" he
said, "shovcs along in his bushy path, with q
view TO pecuniary profit, while the second,
having owned his farm but Il few short years,
has giuobed and turned the sedge down, now
raising me crops ON the same ground, the land
presenting sf neat and thrifty appearance"
Mr.. Ball wished the subject better defined
Mr.. Willis thought if man farmed to i'm
prove his land that in the end il would re-
suit in pecuniary profit
MIR. Sawyer thought that it was best to farm
Tor permanent Improvement, that being the
key 10 pccuniary profit.
MIR. Webster thought that as tenant, it would
not pay INN to remove many stone, but us own
er, would certainly do it, and he favored farm
ing to improve his land.
James ana WIN. Lee agreed with Mr. Willis
Mr. Archer cited Mr.. VIM. Woolsey and Hen.
~ c. Stump; the former farming to improve
his land and the latter with pccuniary view.
Mr. Munnikhuyscn farms to improve his land;
thought man ought TO put on as much ms Inc
could afford.
MIR. Parker had nothing to say.
MIR. :. Nj. Lee thought it would be best for
man to get good farm, and his money would
be in better bank than his pocketbook would
be; thought 1t far better for a man TO stop and
pick up stones and not run the risk of break
age and expense, which often costs three times
the cost of removing the stones.
Mr.. Wilson favored land Improvement
Messrs. Gorrell and Lochary thought ifas own.
er would farm to improve in every possible way.
Mr.. Glasgow thought that our Improvements
to the land made money return to us.
Mr.. Rogers thought if "A man did not farm TO
improve his land, he did not want TO increase
his profit but thought also that there was such
thing as building too much
Mr.. Moorcs agreed with Mr.. Rogers.
Mr.. Hays thought that if it did not pay TO
farm right, it did not pay at all or in other
words, feed the land, or it won't feed YOU, SO
he would farm to improve.
Mr.. Webster spoke of Mr.. Noah Webster's
| farming with view to pccuniary profit aud
said that his son, Richard Webster, now farms
the same land with Il view to Improvement, and
makes about twice as much.

DANGEROUSLY CUT-On Saturday night
of last week Mr.. Frank McGieett, of Havre
de Grace, was the recipient of injuries in that
town, which may result in his death. 1t
seems that on the evening named he went
into drinking saloon kept by man named
Keene, and while there said or did something
which offended a party of negroes who were
playing bagatellc. When Mr.. McGivett left
the saloon these negroes followed and attack
ed him, beating and cutting him dreadfully
There is a fearful confusion on his head, his
neck is badly cut, and a large cash on his
throat; these last two wounds having been
inflicted by razor, or avery sharp knife, as
the hair on the back of his head was clearly
cut. There were five colorcd men charged
with the offence, and as they have all since
left IIavre dc Grace, there Is strong reason
to believe them the guilty parties. We have
heard the names of three Of them given as
James Berry, Japhreth Taylor and Harris.
