st, patrick'S Day.

ST. Patrick's day is noted as a day of
storms, but this morning the sun rose
bright and clear-an event that has not
happened before within the past two
weeks. True, the sky was soon partially
overcast with clouds, and some little snow
fell, and now and then fitful gusts of wind
blew hither and thither, but taken as a
whole the day is thus far the pleasantest
we have had for fortnight and, as the
six weeks probation or Information of the
grounding has ended there is nothing
standing in the way of a season of pleas
ant weather except Mr.. Vennor's untoward
prophecies.
There has been no special celebration G
the day in Lancaster. The piously in
clined have of course gone to church in
kind remembrance OfIreland' S patron saint,
and not a few of HE admirers wear sprig
of Preen in their button-hOleS or on their
hats
The most important event of the day
will be the occultatiOn.:of Mars by the moon
which will occur between and 8 o'clock
this evening. and which will afford a very
interesting picture if the sky should be
clear. At 6:44 Mars will disappear behind
the dark side OF the moon; this is called
the time of immersion. At S:34 he will
appear on the western edge Of the moon !;
this is called the time of emersion. The
duration of the occultation:: will be an hour
and sixteen minutes.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving her
house its spring renOvating should bear in
mind that the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than many houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma, and she must
know that there Is nothing that will do it so
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest
and best of medicines. See other column.

ToRoSTo, June 1.-THE suicide of
fratricide, Robert DeCoursier, who was
under sentence Of death has revived the
shocking story Of the tragedy. Robert
and Edward DeCoursier were brothers,
and lived together on farm at Lambton
Mills, near here. Both were magnificent
ly proportional, wonderfully handsome,
and popular Robert was the finer look
ing Of the two-over SIX feet high, with
dark, way auburn hair, heavy dropping
mustache, noble countenance and com
handing presence. The brothers disa-
greed about money matters, and seperat-
ed, Robert removing to distant town,
leaving Miss Mary Mills, the belle OF the
country side. with a promise that he
would soon return and make her his bride.
Then Edward began the devilish work
which ended in the disgrace of the lady
and the death of himself and brother.
So deep rooted was his hatred Of his
brother that by forged letters, unblushing
lies and protestations OF love, Edward
persuaded Miss Mills to forsake his BROTH
er and engage herself to him. He seduc-
ed her, and shortly before her confne-
ment, when her shame was generally
known, he wrote to his brother Robert
to come home and he could have his girl
if be wanted her. Robert suspected
nothing, and having been deeply enamor-
to find her in the agonies of child birth,
while the satanic brother was Boosting on
the streets that he got even with Bob
On the same day he caused an execution
to be served on Roberts property for an
alleged debt.
Robert, crazed with rage and shame,
rushed to the village drug store, bought
arsenic, and. borrowing double barreled,
shot, gun, started toward his brothers
wagon factory. Meeting his brother, he
emptied both loads into his body, took
the poison himself, ran into the shop,
closed the door and set fire to the shay
ings, hoping to burn himself and the
premises. He was promptly rescued,
though badly burned, and an antidote
given, which saved his life. Edward
never breathed after being shot At
Roberts trial in this city he was convict
ed of murder aud sentenced to DEATH
Every effort was made to have the sen,
tence committed, but in vain. Petitions

sonally begged the Minister of Justice to

the groom, growing pale, but placing his

THERE are two remarkable facts about
the Sandwich Islanders. One is that in
the century that has elapsed since they
murdered Captain Cook, in 1779, they
have changed from horde of barbarians
so as now to be fifty reckoned among the
civilized nations of the earth; and the
other is, that the change seems likely to
blot the race out of existence. In 1882
the total population of Hawaii was over
$50, 600; in 1878 it had dwindled down to
about IS, 600, of whom only Il, 900 were
natives, the rest being made up of about
5, 500 half-breeds and 10, 900 foreigners or
so, OF whom more than one-half were
Chinese.

The history Of a single bean accident
ally planted in a garden at Southbridge,
Mass, is traced by a newspaper CORES
pondent who figures out its product for
three years. The bean was planted in a
rich, loamy soil, and when gathered in
the autumn its yield, as counted was ,515
perfectly developed beans from single
stalk. Now, if single bean produces
1,5l5 more, the sum total of the second
years product would be 2,2S4 225, equal
to l,195 pounds, 597 quarts, or 1880
army nations, equal to U.s. bushels
This would be the second year. Now if
we plant this product and the yield is the
same, we have product of 5,26S, 006
500, 625 bean ), equal to 1871, $50 tons,
or 42,S7l,57S bushels, or DIS, 755, 0GS

would give the steamship Great Eastern

A SHORT time ago there came to Lam
singburg Salt Lake lady to pay a visit
to some friends and relatives. When she
left home her husband had three wives
including herself, and she did not see any
immediate prospects that the number
would be increased; but she received
letter from her lord and master only a
few days ago, in which he Informed her
that he had found another lovely female,
an imported woman, and taken her into
the flock. Did this model woman ''take
on" when she read this letter? Not bit
of it, She simply smiled and then quite
Iy remarked that she hoped the new wife
would love him as much as she did.

The growth of the nails is more rapid
in children than in adults, and slowest
III the aged; goes on faster IN summer
than in winter, SO that the same nail which
is renewed in one hundred and thirty-two
days in winter, requires only one hundred
and sixteen in summer. The increase of
the nails of the right hand is more rapid
than those of the left; moreover it differs
for the different fingers, and in order
corresponds with the length of the finger,
consequently it is the fastest in the mid
die finger, nearly equal in the two on
either side of this, slower in the little
finger and slowest in the thumb. The
growth OF al the nails on the left hand
requires eighty-two days more than those
of the right.
