this evening a person from the

They at once •procured ropes and with

his terrible fall and gave his name as J. A.
Tompkins, an excursionist from George-
town, Ont., a paper -maker. It seems that
he was hurrying along the river bank from
the Falls to catch the train and in the dark
got too oloee to the precipice and fell over.

bank is needed to protect pedestrians.

A FOOLISH ACT.
A Hamilton Convict Maims Himself in the
Central Prison
TO ESCAPE PUNAHNIFINT.
Augustus Lalor, a young- man from
Hamilton, who is undergoing a sentence of
twelve •months in the Central Prison,
adopted a horrible way on • Friday of
escaping punishment. Lalor was e rn ploy ed
in the broom shop, and having failed to
perform his task, besides pushing rudely
against a guard, he was to be rewarded
with seventy-two hours' confinement in
• a dark cell. On two previous occasion's
the saine-panishrbent had beiSh meted
out to him for neglect to perferm his task,
e_and±apparentlyynot-being-at-allatlasiroutreif
experiencing the like effects, for a third
time, he sprang forward to the bench, in-
Berted his fingers in the broona cutting
machine under the knife,. and jamping
upon the treadle the knife, guillotine -like,
out off two of his fingers. He Was taken to
• the prison hospital and was attended to by
Dr. Aikins. He has by this action put
himself in unnecessary pain and has gained
nothing, as he will be punished as BOOR as
he i8 better.
maser: LABOR. AND PIINI4HMENT:
The task which the prisoner failed to
perform consisted in making a- certain
number of brooms daily. Originally a
smaller number was made, but it appears a
short time ago the prisoners were told that
if they worked and made more brooms
they would be paid .a -small sum for all
over the regulation number. This went on
for a time, but fivally, after, the prisoners
had exerted themselves to make as many
as possible, the system of paying for
extras was dropped, and the maximum
number made by the prisoners during the
time they were trying to earn the money
was made the regulation number. By this
means a great increase took place in the
output of brooms,- and in the week of the
prisoners, seerne of whom could not keep up
• the strain, and consequently failed to per-
form their allotted table. The punishment
as already mentioned for such failure
is seventy-two hours, or three days and
nights, in a • dark cell, • with two
ounces of bread daily, barely enough to
keep body and s011t . together. Prisoners
eannot, apparently, according to the rules,
be put in euch a cell far more than seventy-
two hoursat a stretch, .but in -bad cases
they can be punishedwith two imprison-
ments in the cell, one immediately follow-
ing the otber after a brief respite for a
meal. Lalor hadhad the two imprison-
ments, and he was to be put in again when
he committed the rash and foolish act of
madding himself.--

A 10I -E LADY'S FATAL MISTAKE,
Ki'ling,arYoung 'Man Whom She Mistook
fora Burglar, •
SHE IS SENTEGED FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
• A deepatoli from Cobourg, dated' last
(Tuesday) fright, says: Shortly after the
opening of the Court this morning a lady-
like looking person, neatly dreased iu black,
entered upon the atm of a gentleman, fol-
lowed, by another lady on. the aim of
another; gentleman.. , The first couple
walked upato-theapriefone-faaildeli-,- Peid into
that the lady, whose face was extremery
pale, took her seat, to stand he trial
on the -dreadful • charge of manslaughter.
The name of theprisoner' is 'Harriet
Careilia Wright, an untharried woman, a
resident • of the village of Brighton, where'
was alleged the offence' Was committed.
As set forth in the opening address of .11r.
Donald Guthrie Q C., :of Guelph, counsel
for the Crown, and as elicited in the
evicleace the circumstances of the affair
wariaatairellcrws-i—Cnethisnigirtaserth-e-24t-E-
of August a young man named Henry
Ryan was in tbe village searching...for the,
residence of his sister • and brOther-
indaw, who had tecently moved there.
In doing BO 116 went to • a house
between 10 and • 11 o'clock at night,
when .he rapped them up' and
inquired where Forge, . his , brother-
in-law, lived. He was given a
description Of the house, and told.
,to turn up the road from where he was in
order to get to it. It is supposed he made
a. mistake as' to dahat direction it was, be-
cause when he went away he walked in a
contrary direction to that which led to his
sister's 'house, opened the gateof lilies
Wright's 'residence, and walked around to
the beak door of her house. This' he,- tried
to. open, but not being .able to doso he
turned and walked back to the front of the
house, where he stopped in front. of a
.
window. •
.. THE FATAL SHOT.
' At this time the prisoner and a young
lady friend, who were the only ininaaee of
the houseebad gone to bed, but they had
heard•Ryan- outside of the house, and when
he stopped in front of the window the
prisoner thrust the muzzle of a revolver be-
tween the , slats of , a venetian blind and
fired,, unfortupately: with a reeult Which
proved fatal to him after three or four clays
of agonized suffering. The proof of. the
• prisoner's guilt dependedin greet naeasure
on statements made by aherself . to the
constable on' the morning: following the
occurrence in the hearing of a number of
other .persons. 'According • to . them,
she said that when the • man
was' ''returning. from the back • of
the house • she put' the .. pistol
between the slats Of the blinde and snapped_
it it couple'of times, but it would not go
off. Jena then her companion said, "Don't
shoot y he is cerniag back:". The priseper
replied, " I win -sheet and scare hiip." At
that naoinent Ryan halted ifront Of the
window, and the fatal. shot was, fired. ,.Up
to this time she had not said anything, but
having fired the shot, .she went to 'another:
window
by that that time made- his way to thegate,
that if he did not-ge away she Weald: shoot
him, to which Ryan replied,. "Von have
.clotae it now." Thjs wasthe first time
deceased said anything.. Beingasked if he
had atterripted to do • her or the house aity
violence, shesaid he had not. '
• THE DEFENCE.
In the oourse of the defence itwas shown
etliara-ni-glitaortv-a-5-15Wfore t ere had been
an attempt at burglary . upon a broker's
office in the neighborhood, that the pri:
souer e house was rather isolated, on a
street 'which was very much travelled by
wailers peeping to and from the harbor, and
that the prisoner had complained of having
caught a man lieeping through a small hole
in it wiadove shutter tinder her bed-
roona on a previous night. The pistol:
had been given to ber by her father
on hie goiug away from home two weeks
before the shooting, to protect aerself
during his . absence. 1.7pon being told
by the constable that she had shot a man,
she replied that he bad been told so, and
that she was determined she wouldatroteet
herself: All the witnesses spoke of her as it
young woman of unexeeptionable character.
Her father, her only eueviving parent, was
formerly a justice of the peace. Latterly
he has become blind, and the prisoner was
said to make it nearly her whole occupa-
tion to attend on him outdoors as web as
in the house. In the course of his charge
to the jury -Justice Oeler said that the life
of a human being was something that.
could not he permitted to be lightly taken
away, and that hen it was taken it rested
upon • the person by whom the
act was done to justify himself
or herself before a , jury. • If the
oisoner without any provocation: chose to
iire' off a pistol without takitig proper care
to guard against the act beieg dangeroue to
human life, she was guilty of manslaughter;
but if she fired it by aocident br purposely,
under the impression that the deceased was
about to do violence to herselfeor_to her
house, she was innocent.'

• Ilees Putting Besiegers to Flight.
The 7'intes " Beep:ureter" has given
amusing inetances of the application of
bees to defensive purposes. A small prive,
-tear manned by fifty Men, but having on
board some hives of bees, Was pursued by a
Turkish galley, manned by five hundred
seamen and eoldiers. When th,e latter
came' alongeide, the crew of -the privateer,
mounted the rigging with their hives, and
threw them upon their ,foes, who, aston-
ished at 'this novel --mode of - warfare,
--
hastened to escape from the- fury
of the enraged bees.. 'Another in -
static° occurred, when a .rabble
• Hohnstein, in Thungaria, attempted to
pillage the house of the parish minister; he
caused some beehives to be thrown among
the mob, who in consequence soon dis-
persed. Again, Vauban relates how bees
played an important part at the siege of
Chatte, in Lorraine. After a siege, the
;town was beitig stormed, and, during the
assault, the beeieged threw a few hives of
bees upon the heads of the storming party._
The little creatures stung the besiegers so
dreadfully that they had to retire, and the
historian tells that "the bees were not the
least (mime of the siege being abandoned."
