The three ruffiens, gerphy, Hamill
'End Irvine, w.ere arreeted' and tried fur
enerder, hilt as neither lturphy nor
;Hamill could be proved to have inflieted
ttny injuries on the renirdered man, they
were acquitted, and as it wets ehown
that Irvine had I revionsly borne eei
excellent character, Moffett sive and re,
liable, a verdict of manslaughter wag
l'euderedeagainst him, end he was sen-
tenced to twelity nears' imprisonment
t,in the penitentiary. For taking a life,
most people will nonsider this a very
light eentence, but on refiention it will
be (wen to be a Bevere one, as it was
,evident that Irvine had no intention
,of taking Burke's lite when lig was
-maltreating him..
As we have said, the .caption of this
:article expresses in effect the verdict
rendered; and the judge, in pronounc-
-ing the senteucenpon Irvine, dwelt for
,.% short time upon dm cnuse that 1-d to
the crime, and gave eepeeesion to some
mound views on the prevalence of
,crime and its causes. The prisoners
niad been brought to their present con:
dition through dritilt, and tbe fact that
their previous cliarecter hail peen irre-
proachable only ,proved that ell mien
given to drink. are :most liable totering
-their, career.to en eod, by committing
.some crime that would either consign
thera to a lengthened imprisonment or
4lie gallows. Nearly all the crimes
,ceminitted are 'seperineinced by whis-
-pier, but the judge s,ajti. that that was no
reason why , prisoneee convicted of
crime should receive any less punish.

uses have yet to be found out ; and, no

candidates will be appreciated accord-
ingly. However, these independent
candidateahave all recently beee mem-

parties of the c ointry, and they All, or
mostly an, fail to enlighten the public
as to the views of independent men on
the political questions of the day,—
'they say no thing with reference to the

that they Cannot therefore give an in--

opinions though, but the exigencies of
the bon; forbid them giving- free ex-
preesion of opinion an any subject
which is viewed differently by the two
parties. On questions, however, which
have net yet been dignified with a place
in the platferm of either party, they
are glib enough. Ask them if they fa-
vor the federation of the Ernpire, and
they have an opinion thereon. Ask
them if they favor rep. of minor., and
they have an answer ready. Ask them
if they think cempulsory voting would
proe beneficial to • the country, and
they are equally ready to answer that
queetion. And ask them what their
opinion is with regard to the construc-
tion of the Senate, and still they can
answer you. As these questions are
all favored by " Canada Finn," and in-
volve no party issues, the answer will
in every cane be that they are just what
the country needs to make it the best
and brightest under the sun. But ask
them what they think of the present
Government'is scheme for building the
Pacific Railway, and they wauld.prefer
to wait until they have heard all its de-
tails discussed, and •have had an. op-.

JUDGE NOT.
The same old story so, so it ends;
And nothing more can make amend! ;
See where she hes, unwept, unknown,
In all the motley crowd alone!
You never knew the sting of need,
Nor guessed how trampled hearts can bleed
Your every step in lifo has been
By love's observance weltered in,
'Twixt shame and misery's double fang,
Her love, perchance, was one long pa g;
Cast not your stone in pious scorn,
At the poor, dying wretch forlorn.
But if you fear go quickly hence,
Lest she should tint your innocence;
Though hands as pure as yours, ere now,
Have stn clothed the dying outcast's brow,
3 ,s! ore you judge the erring life,
You, the happy woman, honored wife,
Think of a day of doom to come,
And then, for fear, be dumb.

came alarmed at the progress of his

worse his health improved. and he now

will ling • kie yetnentherect in the annals
of Illimshard, the .event being a sur-
prise and (landing party at the resi-
dence of Wm. Johnston Esq. The
night was beautifully clear, the air
warm and balmy, stars glittered like
brilliaot jewels in the over -arching can-
ophy, and as the evening advanced the
moon shone down with placid grandeur
on a scene of ineffable eplendor and
magnificence. About thirty couples,
representatives ofthe youth and beauty
of the far-famed township of Blanshard
and vicinity, availed themselves of this
opportunity of eujoying each other's
society. Dancing coustituted the chief
amusement sand was heartily enjoyed
by nearly all present. Counts:lances
beaming with delight, flushed wine
pleasureable emotions, performers skil-
led inthe Terpsichorean art, the lash-
iouable attire and engaging address of
all, fornied it scene brilliant, harmoni-
ous and enjoyable. Excellent, music
was 'discoursed by a string band under
Ake leedership of Mr. W. Barrie, whose
skill and competeucy in this reepect
are worthy of a provincial reputation.
Dr. Hutchinson, Kit -kion, was present
to administer soothing cordials and re-
storatives in case of overeeertion or
excitement. Happily his :medical aid
was not called into requisition. At 12
o'clock toe company sat down to a
sumptuous repast, after which dancing
as resumed and contiuued for some
time with nuabated zeal. The courte-
ous end gentlemanly proprietor and
his excelleut lady used their influence
to make all feel perfectly at home and
if oven a part of the well- wielies of the
guests be realized their career will be
long and prosperous.

STRANGE WEATHER.—For so early in
the season we have already ha i some
very strange and unusual weather,wina
ram, n snow, thunder, lightning and se-
vere trost, which mealy think to be a
prognostication of a barn N yin ter. But
in a scientific point of view there does
not seem to be anytning to warren,
such a view. There can be no doubt
but all the phenomena of the weather
are governed by fixed laws, and ream -
in unerring cycles ; and when the sci-
ence of meteorology shall be sufficienly
advauced; these cyclical periods will be
cleerly determined, and it may be that
we shall be enabled to forecast atmos-
pheric changes with the same precisior
(is we now .10 the motions of the planets
and the eclipses of the sun and moon.
The researches making on ..the sun spot
period promise to throw great light on
this popular and interesting subject.
AUTUMNAL TINTS. -111 the panorama
of the seasons no picture is perhaps
more beautiful than the scenery of a
Canadian autumn. Previous to dis-
robiug themselves and warned by the
first frosts, the forest trees assume the
most gorgeous and variegated hues.
The maple is, Most conspicions and
wears a dress of`yellow and orange. The
beech and ash with others revel in
every intermediate shade from the
lightest to the darkest brown. The
creeper family sport theinselvesin a
crimsou eobe;whilst the shumac assum-
,
es the deepest purple. Then there are
others, the more hardy denizens of the
wood, which still retain their summer
verdure, • as if reluctant to yield to
winter's stern decree. But perhaps the
most charming part of the picture after
all are those like the pine and the
spree°, which exempted from the denu-
dation remain all the winter ever green.
Thee° stand as- it • were, like faithful
sentinels, keepitig :watch over their
comrades, till they shall reyive and re-
habilitate themselves again in spring,
