OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMpT AT AB-

Thursday Woke, at • liie boa(, a man
•ppeeted at the Mastery, House, neer the
ferry landing N cumpauy w,Ib two hand-
some, well dressed girls—one about eleven,
•ct the other ten years of age—meek eg
ludgtwge kr the eight. The bar keeper
.aiurtn.d hs■ oe had no accomodation. for
females, aad recualtecodid them to the
Main Street House.
'1'be man went to the Main Street House,
obtained a bed fur the girls promising tp
call lot them next morning, and then re-
turned to the Montery, House for lodgings
Orr himself. The bar keeper suspecting
souuethrng wrong, gave iolorwaltun uf the
man's conduct at the police office, woe also
of the place where the girls were taken.—
Marshal Jennings immediately went to tee
Main Street House, and told the landlord
not to glee the children up until he again
saw him.
In the morning the man according to
pri so•, calls for the, children, on being re-
quested to delay taking them away, sus-
pects that his vilany was discovered and
tutoedtakly gots to tLe marshal and in-
t -wises taw uf bailey two stray children un-
der bra care, being unable to find their pa-
rents. the villain is suddenly changed to
a phiLanthropist and starts off vulunlart-
l7 to u.:at ti wanted in searching for
their parents. Beong unable to find them
the marshal and ilea wan Fre{ anted.
Upset again gi mg to the Main Street
House, where the children are retained, the
following facts fel Leon a.c(rtafoeJ Irum
eldest girl, who appears to be a smart
and intellgent chill. That they are cou-
sins and;named Hannah and Sophia Little.
That they go to school to Mr. Hicks., and
upon returning from school Wednesday
afternoon they cropped its (root of the mene-
gerie, s hen a man cause up to them and ask-
ed if they want to seethe show. They repli-
es', in childish innocence, in the affirmative,
ellen he tuuk them in, show cd them around
the pavilion, bought candies and. sweet -
meats for them, ar.d talked to and treated
' thew in a tr.cat at/emit/nate manner.
1Vhs n night came un, they expressed
anxiety about going home., when this vil-
lain persuaded them to remain with him ;

crevices of an imperfect reservoir. Wealth
is never secure of its income; labor is al-
ways productive of its reward. habits of
industry and capacity for labor are by far
the most reliable resources and nines of
livelihood. It is therefore the two fold

. CRIME iN CANADA.
th:nk there Dover has a period in the
history ef Canada, se. remarkable fur the
commission of the graver elan of crimes.—
At the Home District ueiaes hold recently,
there were three trials fur murder, two of
which resulted in verdicts of manslaughter,
and -lie, that of Hugh Bry.00 and Sophia
Sparke, for the murder of the husband of
the latter, in a verdict of murder. In the
Guelph papers, besides reports of two or
e ':vful corer, not many months ago—
we recee.!v :w a most revolting account
of the vtohhor. ani :aurder of a girl of
twelve years of age ; oey last number
contained tbe confession of a me.: Peeetuted
for murder at Niagara. We might 1001w0 I
the het by alluding to the murder of Horan,
at Kingston Barracks, but the catalogue
ie too revolting to be dwelt upon with any
degree of minuteness. To one consideration,
L..over, do we desire to draw particular

be that of the girl, bear Geeip;i. Tho sti-
mulus to commit them was obtained ir:.!D
the low tavern or grocery ; and it would,
wo think, lee rafts to aver, that had these
taverns and groceries not been permitted to
exis•, scarcely one of the murders in ques-
tion would have taken place. The evidence
on the trials in fact tattle else than • lifting
up of the curtain, which ordinarily shrouds
the drunken orgies of the lower etas.
But the evil emanating from these
plague -spots on the body social, taverns
and ggrocenee, is not confined to murders. -

Amore alarms of fire utmost every bight ; and
if fairly investigated, we believe • great
portion of these fires occur either in
Laverne, tavern stables, or through the li-
quor prneured from taverns. Talk of in-
cendsaries !—intoxicating drinks are the
great t,cenJiary ; and so long as the com-
munity countenances the habit of using
them as a common beverage, and permits
the existence of enmberlesv•dram-shops, it
cannot consistently complain of numerous

THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT.
Although we intertidal atroog hopes that
the approaching Parliament will so remodel the
School Bill u either to render District Superin-
tendents anneee.eary, or assign such distinct and
important dunes to the office, as will pretreat
mere encumbrances from being crammed into it
for the sole purpose of obtaining an easy, lazy,
livelihood. Yet, lest oar hopes in this respect
should be disappointed, we will offer a few re-
marks ea the qualifications which ought to ren-
der a man eligible to the situation. We would
reasonably suppose that the Act . eeihes neve
. cholast.o attainments as requisite to the due
fs161ment,o( the duties required, and therefore
we shall pus over these qualifications, barely
remarking that though necessary, they a,e by no
means die roost important. The Ent requisite
in a m• taking charge of aoy bemuse. is, a
