A last (Friday) night's; Dublin cablegram
aay: The Government have lost no tirne
in issuing an offer of a reward for the arrest
of the ,assassine of Mr. Bourke. The pro-
clamation appears in to -night's Gazette
offering £2,000 for such information as
ishall lead to the conviction of the person
or persons who murdered Mr. Walter M..
Bourke hnd Corporal Wallace' of the Royal
Dragoons. A further rewardof £1,000 is
offered for such private information as
shall lead to the same result, and a free
pardon and special protection. for any
accomplice who shall turn Queen's evi.
dence. Also £500 for infornaation which
shall lead to the conviction of the person or
persons who may harbor, or maintain
the murderers or assist them to escape.
The assaseinations are accempanied by -a
terrible outburst of agrarian - crime. The
facts reported this afternoon have created
a profound sensation in Dublin." The Lord.
Lieutenant and the permanent officials
were at the castle until a late hour to -night
sending instructions to various parts of the
country regarding the protectionof certain
landlords and officials who are in just as
much danger as Mr. Bourke -was. The
feeling of despondency in the capital was
never \ greater. The feeling is intensified
by the\fact that the agricultural prospect.
throug o
1\
ut the country is particularly
bright. •It was expected that this would
tend to promote contentment and quiet
among the farmers. Some twelve inonths
ago the u fortunate Mr. Bourke, who was
a Commi sioner of National Education,
resigned hs position as manager of the
national e hool on his property, as he
expected t be ' assassinated, requesting
- -that-the-ap intrnent-be-transferred-to-his-
brother, Captain Bourke. :
An attempt has been made to assassinate
Michael Brown, a farmer of Rathgliess, a.
few miles frOna Gross Mollina, county
Mayo. The attempt was most daring and
determined. Six men walked up to him in
a field and asked him why he had taken, a -
farm when he wa. w.arned . against doing
so. "One man then placed a revolver
against his forehead, and said, "Now you
will get your reward." AnditherMa,n inter-
posed and said,-" De not kill him ;' he may
be a good man yet." They then fired Isla
shots at him, lodging two bullets in hia,
thigh. Some time " after he Was found.
inseneible. One bullet has bean extractea,
but it is stated that the man; who is 60
years of age, cannot live. , The police
patrol had only passed the scene of the out-
rage ten minutes before, and could. hardly
have been .out of hearing .of 2 the
shots. Four arrests have been. made
on suspicion. Another , attempt - was
made to murder Henry East, an exten-
sive farmer and millowner,living •at
Curraghtrerch, near Ballyfarnon, county
elioscommon. It is perhaps one of the most
daring outrages committed •in Ireland.
East, who had had some quarrel with his
neighbors about cutting turf in hiseog, was
standing at 3 o'clock in his farmya d when
\
three men with blackened faces and carryt-
ing heavy bludgeons jumped over t e wall
and attacked him in a moats:wage In nner.
His cries for help brought his son t his
assietance, but he too was set upon 'rid.

fered. They returned to the attaok-oil
their victim. Drawing their revolvers,
they fired several shots, three of which
took effect, one bullet lodging, in his hip,
another breaking his leg above the knee,
and a third smashing his loot below the
ankle. The injured man : was sinking ,
rapidly when the last despatch from the
place was sent. Four men were arrested,
bat he could not identify them as being
among his assailants. :

A Ballina despatch says: The inquest in.
the case ef,Melady, who was shot -during a
disturbance between the people and :the
constabulary, is concluded. Fifteen of a
jury of twenty-one returned, a verdict that
death wits caused by e gun shot wound in-

ment to compensate . • then. ' ' ' '

A Illeart-Rending Tragedy.
A most distreEising death is reported to
have occurred during the recent cyclone at,
Monticello, Miss. Mrs. Carroll, hearing
the storm approaching, rushed with her
babe in her arnas to her hasbeeed, who
threw his arm around her neck. At the
same inetant the wind lolevethe house down
upon them and ermined them to the floor,
the mother -with the • infant in her arms,
the husband vvith his arm around his wife's
neck, and there he choked her to dea,th.•
The falling timber e did not seem to hurt
her, but locked the doctor's arm so closely
about her neck that he could not move it.
,He was couseioue that ho was killing her,
but all his effort a to throw off the timbers
were futile. Assistance came in two hours
—too late! The husband felt that in a
measure he was the. cause of her death,
and the idea made him nearly frantic for
eeveral days. The babe was eleo killed.

Professor Tobin, of the Loineville Poly-
technic Siahool, the :other , day; says the
Courier -Journal, at a hotel dinner -table
drew the following diagram on the back of
a bill of fere :
.
" New," he said to thetinterested lookers-
on who -inquired as to the -object of his
'sketch, "the object is to trace this figure
of the cirourneoribed square without
removing ' the pencil from the paper or
retracing any of the lines."
"Can it be done?" asked half a dozen
'voices at once.
"You oan all See me do it," and as he
spoke the. pencil flew aroundthe varioug
curves and angles and the figure was
complete.
lea less time than it tales to write it all
the gentlemen had taken out their.: pencils
and were hard at work on the puzzle. r. The
success Was about •uniform—each man
found himself one line short. Again and
again the same thing was accomplished,
but no ore was successful. Then the
dinner came in and the matter drcipped for
the time being. But the end Was not yet.
The seeds had been sown and soon bore
fruit. The single trial had been fatal to
the peace of mind not only of those who
were present, but by degrees Of the whole
community.
Since that day there has been a serious
state of things in Louisville, for which Pro -
forager Tobin alone is responsible. The
fever has spread like wildfire, and every-
eborly.isatework on the puzzle. It etioks
more tenaciously than did the accursed 13,
14, 15, and the man who once has yielded
to the temptation of trying to solve it is
wretched beyend description. Not a scrap of
paper is to be fieund that does not bear the
mysterious eria-cross which bears silent
but incontrovertible testimony to the.
abortive efforts at solution which are
driving to the lunatic) asylum the wretched
victims of the baleful diagram. • At lawyers'
offices, at the clubs and in the counting -
rooms, " upstairs, downstairs and in the
ladiee' chamber," all Louisville is at work
•upon the puzzle, and it is said that the
Board of Trade, though the puzzle is as
old as the hills and can doubtless bedone
by a majority of the children in the public
schools of New York, has made a formal
demandon Professor Tobin th publish the
solution lest business should be so utterly
neglected that the grass will begin to grow
in Main street. e

The President' Address—Cremation a

Contagious Diseases. ,
The annual session of the Ontario Medi-
cal Association began yesterday in. Toronto,
Dr. Covernton, the President, in the chair.
On the platform were Drs. Workman,
Toronto; Yeomans, kt.Forest ; Macdonald
and Mullen, Hamilton.' Among the dele-
gates preeent were Drs. Ge L. MacKelcan,
Hamilton;. R. Secord, Bright; W. Burt,
Paris; D. L. Philip, Brantford, and Ei. M.
McKay, Woodstock. •
The Secretary read a letter. from Dr.
Power, of Ottavea, regarding the formation
of a mutual benefit association for the
medical profession, and explaining how it
could be established and conducted. After
some discussion the communication *as
referred to a committee to report. •-
Dr: Covernton then delivered his opening
address. The association promised to take
a high rank among similar ones in America.
After reviewing the work of the association
since its formation, he advocated the
establishing of local health boards and the
appointment- of local health officers as an
?Ad to tide association, also -that doctors
throughout the Province should send a list
of the cases attended by themeduring each
week with the severity and nature of the
disease. The germ theory of zymotic and
other diseases was scientifigally adverted to,
and the necessity of microscopic analysis as
an important factor in discovering the
origin and—Progress ordiaeases was con-
sidered.The opinion of eminent medical
seientistein favor of the theory of the con-
tagious nature of tubeculosis-phthisis was
referred to and also the fact that such a
belief was gaining ground among members
of the profession.' In relation to the
disposal of the bodies of persons dying
from contagious diseases the lecturer yoke
of crenaation as destroying all possibility
of infection from those bodies. 'What
favor the system may meet with among
medical men remains to be seen, but there
was little doubt that the public -generally
would.at least at present oppose any such
method of disposing of the bodies of their
relatives.
Dr. Worthington, of Clinton, read a paper
upon the treatment of diphtheria. Dr.
Philip, of Brantford, followed with a paper
on the treatment of consumption,and after
some discussion the meeting rose to sit
again at 8 o'Clock.
In the evening Dr. Clarke, superinten-
dent of the Toronto Insane Asylum, read
and explained the treatment ef the insane
and also the treatment for nervous diseases.
Considerable discussion followed and, the
assembly adjourned until to -day.

Cultivate a Sweet Voice.
There is no power of love so hard to get
and keep as a kind voice. A kind band is
deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work of a soft
heart, and do it with a eoft touch. But
there is no one thing that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means
and feels, a,nd it is hard to get it and keep
it in the right tone. 2 One must start in
.youth, and be on the watch night and day,
at work and Iplay, to get and keep a voice
that ellen speak at all times the thought
of a kind heart. But this is the time when
a sharp voice is most apt to be got. You
often hear boys and girls, say words
at play with a sharp tone, as
if it were the snap of a whip. When
• one • of them gets vexed • you will
hear a voice that sounds as if it were mode
up of a snarl, a whine and a bark. Such a.
voice often speaks worse than the heart
feels. It shows more ill -will in the tone
than in the words. -It is often in mirth
that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp,
and sticks to him through life, ti,nd Mire up
and 'grief, and falls like a drop of
gall on the sweet joys at home. Such as
these get a sharp home voice for use and
keep their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they would save their
best cakes and'pies for gueets and all their
sour food for their own board. I would say
to all boys and girls', " Use your guests'
voice at home." Wath,it by &teem a pearl
of great price, for it will be worth more to
you in the days to come than the best pearl
hid in the sea. A kind voice is a lark's
song to a hearth and home. It i9 to the
heart what light- is, to the eye.—Jewish

THE QUADRUPLE MURDER.
A. Illother*6 Terrible Deed.
The following are particulars of the murder of
four children by their *mother, and suicide of the
murderess, referred to in our Chicago despatches
of Saturday: Seyboldt and his wife did not live
harmoniously since the birth Of the last child:
The latter has not 'been hi good health, and it is
believed despondency caused the deed. From
number of notes written bytheroldest daughter
it appears that Mrs. Seyboldt talked the matter
over with her and got her to consent to the
tragedy. Several are addressed to school -mates
on childish matters and twp te her father. One
asks him to bury them decently and tells
him where she leaves some money to buy
flowers. One to a school -mate says: "Mother
was always sick and thOught of dying often and
how we would be treated, and so thought it best
for all ole to die at once, and boughtsomething
to us—the 'baby fret, Annie second, Tony
third, I afterwards, then mother. We did not
suffer much, and now -we are all put of trouble."
