Henry Rogers at length dropped asleep with his bead upon one of the settle -tables; Jackson sank into sullen silence ; the noisy room grew quiet; and I came away. I was impressed, with a belief that .lack - aeon entertained some sinister design against his youthful & inexperienced lodgers, and I determined to acquaint them with my suspi- cions, Mr. Morgan, who hall a patient lit - ing near Jackson's house, under t.,ok to in- vite them to tea on some early evening, o0 the pretence that he had heard of a tavern that might suit them when they should re- ceive tbeir fortune. Let me confess, too that I had another design besides putting the young people on their guard against Jackson. I thought it very probable that it would not be difficult to glean from them some interesting and suggestive particulars concerning the ways, means, practices, out- goings and incomima , of their worthy land- lord's household. Four more days passed unprofitably a- way, and I was becoming weary of the busi- ness, when about five o'clock in the after- noou the apothecary galloped up to his door on a borrowed horse.

But I must instantly to Dr. Edwards: I will tell you all when I return.

'Tie surface of his body was cold as death, and the apothecary quickly discovered that he had been poisoned with a mdphuric acid (oil of vitriol,) • quantity of which he, Morgan, had sold a few days pre- viously to Mrs. Rogers, wbo, when purchas- ing it, said Mr. Jackson wanted it to apply had not desired Mrs. Rogers to purcha'se it by de.. rees.

Dr. Delorme suggested the idea of transfu- sion of blood. The remedy was regarded as hazardous, but under the desperate cir- cumstances of the case, justifiable ; and it was adopted.

We recollect ib fact of the Toronto Globs, and many other of the Provincial Journal., expressing than dissatisfaction with the late Ad ministration for, not giving even their own friends, at least, a confidential hint of the 'season's to be introduced. Indeed, we are under the impression that this disutisfac- tion has been uniformly expressed for the nese mindedness of every successive Ca - martian f during our residence in t*e courtly.
