In all enlighteneecoantries, there-

towards gaining complete control of

interesting and lengthy one. . The

little or nothing of importance. The
following is a brief oynopsis of the

upon the great agricultural prosper-
ity of the Province, and thankfully
alluded to the success of the sanitary
precautions taken to prevent. the

and detitution happily, no longer
obtain on the p aias, but the buffalo
is plenty and t e red men are con-

`Il! -e Ministerial Wife -Killer to
. be flanged.
John Selby Watson, an eminent
clergyman of London, England, ohas
been sentenced to be haoged for
murder. The trial has been linger-
ing for along time. Mr. Watson,
about 3 years ago, while engaged
upon a book, became exceedinglty
irritable, filming and fretting if he
was interrupted, and breaking out
into terrible fits of rage. One night
he was writing in his study at 2 a.
in., his wife came to him: and tried
to persuade him Le go to bed. He
ordered her to leave the room, and
as she did not comply with his
wishes he suddenly attacked her
with a hatchet, mutilating her in
a horrible manner and finally kill-
ing her. After the murdei he did
not attempt to escape, and was im-
mediately arrested. The murder
created a great feeling of horror all
. b
over the country, more especially as
he was a man universally looked up
to and respected. It is stated that
in the afternoon of the day he

The British Parliament ---The
Coming Sedsion.
Parliament stands prorogued to
the 6th of February, but will pro-
bably not meet till the 'following
week. There are A number of se-
rious eleestions which.' demand at-
tention, and a stormy session 'seems
to be expected, but' I Should not
wonder if it proved to be a very
quiet one. A purely negative
policy may do in opposition, but it
will not hold a Government to-
gether, and the Conservative lead-
ers, divided among themselves, have
not yet discovered an active policy
which would not split Up the party.
To some extent this applies else to,
the Liberals, but they have got used
to being in office, and are more anx-
iods to keet3 in than their opponents
are to get in. if the Goveenmeet
produce a moderate common-sense
progeamme, there will be a general
disposition to support them and,
according to the doctrine of proba-
bilities, it is to be expeeted that the
rush of administrative misfertunes
and misadventures which_ .pursued
them last session will not be renew-
ed.. The Government cannot help
re-introdueing the Ballot bill, and
there will not be much of a. fight
against it, as many Conservatives
are coming round to the opinion
that it would rather work in their
own favor, and that, in any use, it
is inevitable. There will, however,
be a struggle on the question of a
scrutiny in the dommons. in order
to jestify the Lords making a con-
cession en this point a condition of
-passing the bill 'Apart from the
Ballot, the Sanitary eleasures and

it may have a peaceful session, with

The Tichborne Case.
The Tichborne case drags its
weary length along. They are now
on the defence. On Monday Cole-
-ridge opened for the defendents.
Re said the testimony they propos-
ed to offer would show that the
claimant was a conspirator, per-
jurer, forger—in fact a common im-
poster and villain, and that Baigent
and Carter, his accomplices, were un-
scrupulous rogues and concoctors o -f
this stupendous imposture. The
speech of the distinguished counsel
was received by the crowded -court
house with applause, which was im-
mediately suppressed. Coleridge
then read letters, showing that the
real Sir Roger was a refined gentle-
men, the very opposite of the claim-
ant, and announced that he would
call, among other witnesses for the
defence, a tattooed nobleman, who
h- d- tattooed Sir Roger, and woeter
al. o prodhee a cousin of Sir Roger,
Madame Radcliff, who could tia*ear,
that the cleiment's statements as to
forrner ill,icit_leintercourse with her
were false.'

Armstrong & Stewart, James Stirton,

than these pi olds of progress, or more
encouraging ,to those enterprising men
whose ene5Ty and. pluck have brought
about these results. Verily • Harristen .
and, Clifford seem destined to become
the Toieento and. Hamilton of the North
West/and if the Welliegton, Grey and
Bruce Railway Company desire, as no
doubt they do, to see this end attained, .
they would much facilitate it, by provid-
ing a mixed. through tiain daily instead
of alternatelyit would not Ise . in the
least too much.

THE MARKETS.
SEAFORTH, Sau.1.1, 1872,
There is not much change in the quo-
tations of the Seaforth market this week.
The rise in Wheat noticed last week still
maintains. Pork has slightiy declined.
Business rJ11 the market continues brisk,
and farmers generally seem to be taking
advantage . Of the good roads and fine
weather to bring out their produce, We
•notice that, 'even yet, many farmers who
live in the rear townships, -convenient
to the stations on the Wellington, Grey
and Bruze Railway still continue to bring
their ee rain and Perk to this markt...
This is proof, positive that the :highest
rates prevail here. We quote:
