joseph La Page, who suffered the
extreme penalty of the law last Friday
for the murder Of Josie Langmaid Of
Pembroke, Neil, was one of the most
atrocious criminals Of modern times,
and few murderers have gone to the
scafold with so little sympathy f*Gm
their fellowmtn. Convicted oftEe most
horrible murder Of one girl, it is now
morally certain that lie had previously
killed another, and that two other vic
Tins of his brutality were nearly killed
by him. His crimes were committed
under circumstances that made disc0y-
cry difficult, having been planned with
fiendish intent and fcndish cunning ;
and having been discovered, there was
no hope of clemency for him. 1t is
offences like his that keep on the stat
ute book the laws for capital punish
ment, and philanthropy has little en-
couragement 70 intercede for criminals
of his class, aud little heart in appeals
in their behalf. Human life is made

Since the silver bin has become
a law, and Che West aud South voted

the Eastern and Middle states; the
one class being borrowers, and the
others loaners. The borrowers are
zeauusly striving 10 be as honest as

is the fact that when she felt faint and
thought that she could 90 no farther and
would lie down to rest, singular as it may
fseem, q little chipmunk or squirrel would
jump into her face; then che would
arouse, get up and walk d piece farther.
Again she would become almost exhaust

Enormous Consumption OF Timber.

In pleading for the protection and per-
petuahon OF forests, the LWaaber'aG7ss
Gazette gives some interesting particulars
of the amount of timber consumed every
year in this country. s;We have now,n
it says, "about 10000 miles of railroad,
the annual consump for ties or sleep
ers alone is 100000, or thirty years
growth of $4,000 acres To fence these
roads would require at least 10000
miles Of fence, which would cost $40, 000.-
900 to build, and take at least ST., 100000
annually TO keep in repair. We have
u, 600 miles of wire, which it requires III
its putting up 100000 trees, while the
annual repairs must take 100000 more.
The little insignificant lUcifcr match con
sumes annually in its manufacture 30o.-
900 cubic feet of finest pine. The bricks
that are annually baked require 2,00O.O 600
cords OF wood, which would sweep the
| timber clean from 10000 acres. Shoe
pegs are quite as Important an article as
matches or bricks, and to make The re-
| quired annual supply consumes 100000
cords OF line timber, while the manufae-
ture OF lasts and boot trees takes SOC, DOC
cords Of maple. beech and birch, and
about the same amount is required for
plane stocks and the handles OF fools.
The packing boxes III the United States
IN 1874 amounted TO $ia,o00,oo0, while
the timber manufactured into agri-
cultural implements, wagons, etc, is
more than $i0o,0000oo. The farm aud
rural fences of the country consume an
immense amount of lumber and timber
annually, but as We grow older as o
nation, this consumption may, and prob
/ ably will, be reduced by the more gener-
! al use of live fences or hedges. Our con-
sumption Of timber is not only on the in
crosse but our expectation of timber is
/ also rapidly increasing Our slaves go
