A ROMANTIC STORY OF CRIME. A QUEER NARRATIVE WITH HIGHLY HuMANTIC TRIMMINGS—HOW LAL- LAND WICKLAND WAS BOB- BED iN SCOTLAND --THE ROBBER MARRIES THE ROBBED MAN'S DAUGH- TER. There resided in Aberdeen, Sco'e laud, soventoeu yew's ago, a rich jeweler, Lallaad Wicklaud, his w ile, three sone and thrr.o daughters. The Dame of the eldest Sun was Jean and he was engaged to a young lady of the uawe of Craig, oue of the most beautiful maidens of Aberdeen. One day Wickland burst into his wife's room, greatly agitated, and exclaimed : "Mary, we are ruined ! utterly ruined ! The shop has been broken Tutu iiod at blast X15,600 worth of plate and jewelry carried off. 1 have been with the detectives through all the holes in the city,but be foiled uu u.tce of the thief or of tote goods. The detectives think that the geode will never be re- covered, vial we are ruined if it is• so." \Vheu this rubbery uceurred Jeau Wit:Isla nd was in London, and he read the news in a London ROWS - paper. IIe hurried home and found the family in the greatest distress. For many days the Wicklauds iu- dulged themselves in the hopes that, some clue would be found to the rohbeIti and their wealth restored to them. Those hopes wore never real- ized, The robbery, as the police said, had been cleverly and cleanly done. No trace of the perpetrator or any pert of the property was ever discovered. In the meantime Wickland had paid 1,11 his ontitanding debts end found himself without a sixpence. Ile luight have urged tho iobbery as a plea for bankruptcy, but he was too honest to think of such a course. The ruin which had overtaken the Wicklands postponed the proposed union between Jean and Miss Craig, and Mr. \Vickland struggled on for a few years in a small way of busi- nese, his son Jean assisting hint all the while, but they could not even make a living out of it. About this tirno thousands of peo- ple were leaving the old counti'iefof Europe and heading for America. Mr. \Vickland caught the emigra- tion fever. Ile sold all his personal effects, and, after securing steerage passage for his family, Irnded in .New York. lie had some money, and it went fast. He began to real ize that he must find something to do. He went to St. Louis. When they arrived in that city, time fifteen years ago, they had very little left. The buys found employment on the railroad. In 1883 they came to Cairo, Ill., and the boys stayed there while the old gentleman secur- ed a place at McConnell as track - walker and keeper of the tanks. For years they battled with diffi- culties since coming to America, and, while never in real need, for- tune was still unkind, and they have never been able to lay by enough to go back to Aberdeen. During all this time Jean and Itlise Craig kept up correspondence, uu• til, in November last, Miss Craig was agreeably surprised at the sud- den and unexpected appearance of John \Vickland iu his native city, who bore the joyful intelligence that his father's family, their fortune re- stored, would soon be in their old home. How was it? This happy termination cam e out in this wise : A man named John son located hilnelf at McConnell as a merchant, running la plantation and supply store. His wealth was the talk of the town. He sold lots of goods and made money hand over fist. He took great interest in the Wicklauds, and seemed to eviuce especial interest in the facts relating to their robbery and utter ruin, It finally carne out that John- son had been a prison bird, and the cold shoulder was turned to him by Lucy Wickland, to whom he was paying attention. This seemed Lo nettle him, and he sent for'the old gentleman to come to him. Their interview lasted two hours. John- son confessed that it was he who robbed Wickland of his wealth,and, coming to this country, had trebled his possessions. Ho gave the old man:his check for $50,00. So soon as this happened the Wickland: de- cided to return to their native land. When Johnson heard of their de- termination he insisted on paying their passage back to Scotland. The strangest feature of the affair was that Johnson immediately sold out all his belongings and went back to Scotland a month after the family of Wickland had returned, and a letter yesterday from hint to a friend announced his marriage to Miss Lucy Wickland, eldest daughter of the man whoni he had robbed. ARE WE TO BE CALLED CURS 9 SENSIBLE AMERICAN OPINION OP OANADIANS, ► A WELL.I)ES$RAED REBUKE, VOR THE CARTWRIGHT SECTION OF THE GRiT PARTY—LET US RESPECT OURSELVES AND OTHER PEOPLE WILL RE- SPECT US. Bull ale Tidings. The people of Canada will speak and speak iu no uncertain manner at the polls directly as to whether they desire ro become a part and parcel of the United States or re• twain as :they are—a self -governed, iudepende,ut people. From our personal knowledge of the popular fueling of the people we don't rniud wagering our new silk hat against anybody's last year's straw that the annexation tuougets will get such a kick iu the teeth as will debar them from talking intel- ligibly for sotne time to come. Whilst we are "very nice people," the gro-a-t-o-s-t nation upon earth, and all that hind of thing, we are apt to consider other people in a very wrong light. \Vhy should we presume to think Canada's young men are curs? And, pray, what else would they be but curs—and cuts of the yeller variety at that—if they deliberately undertook to hand over their coun- try to another power? There are two ways of looking at a question, respected grab -alts. This is nut a questiou entirely of crowns or no crowns, Apart from an inherited loyalty the Canadians aro not much bothered with the crown business. The young Cauuck may sing God Save the Queen with vigor, but ho fairly boils over when he shouts The lllaple Leaf for Ever ! It's nut the crowu but the maple leaf Canada will'iefuse to part with. \Ve say she will refuse to part with because we know that before she would lot that emblem become subordinate to the eagle's talons she will have to — figuratively — he stretched pulseless and dead on the battle field. Never whilst life remains or finger can pull 'a trigger will the young Canadian—or old Canadian for that matter—consent to lose the glorious privilege of be- ing a child of his country. Offer him wealth and he'll scorn it, if, in return, he must betray his home. Paint him a picture of a grand advancement and, unless the old banner bo in the van, he'll prefer to stand still. And please honor him for it ! Were he to do other- wise he would bo a hound, a eunuch and a foal outrage upbfTe name of man! For— Breathes there a man with soul so dead, ho never to himself has said : This is my own, my native land? If there be he is not \Canted as an American citizen anyhow! No,let the Canadians ariseZup and smite with the smite of a just wrath meddling asses of politicians who would sell the trimmings off their grandmother's coffins and take the pennies off her dead eyes to buy rum with. On both sides of the line these vampires need the rod, and we are tickled to know that over in Canada the rod, long in pickle, is about to comedown on their measly carcases with a long and delicious swish. Would that it were so here too ! There is not one true American but will applaud the rebuke Canada will give those who would sell hor to the stranger. Our own sense of glorious independence cannot but make ne respect it in another. Go in, Canada, and sweep 'em out clean! "Soop her up? Soop her up!" DOWN TO DEATH. TWO MEN AND A HORSE, GO OVER A RAILWAY BRIDGE NEAR GALT. TARRED AND FEATHERED. Berlin, Feb. 10,—Considerable excitement was created in town to- day when the news of a fatal asci-. dent reached the ears of the citizens. Two well-known farmers, brothers, named Zimmer, were crossing the bridges over the Galt branch of tho Grand Trunk railway, known as the "two bridges," when the collar of the horse in some manner choked it and caused the animal to start, going against the frail railing, which easily gave way, and the occupants of the cutter and the horse were pre- cipitated over the bridge, falling a distance of about 30 feet to the rail- way track below. Adain Zimmer was able to crawl t0 a heuse near the bridge and give the alarm. \Vhen assistance came it was found that the Other occupant, Jacob ?simmer, was fatrlly injured, and he expired in about five minutes. The horse was killed instantly. Adam Zimmer was found to he badly injured, his shoulder dislocated, arm probably broken and other serious injuries. The dead man received n large gash in the temple. He was a widower and abort GO years of age. Both men are highly respected and ( prosperous farmers. AND CARRIED OUT OF THE STATE ON A RAIL FOIL GETTING MARRIED. New 011eaus, Feb. 10.—Sten- hope Turubull (white) is a member of a reputable family, with iutluen• tial connections in Luuisiaua and Mississippi. Two weeks ago Turn- bull married in this city a mulatto woman named Charity Ilanelton. There is no law against this in Louisiana, but there is in Missies- ippi. So when Turnbull took his bride to his home in Woodville he was arrested for violation of the laws, but was diecharged ou a technicality. He had hardly left the courthouse before he was seized by a mob, stripped of his clothes, soaked in tar and rolled in a bag of feathers. Ile was then placed on a rail and ridden through town, couriers !preceding the slob warn- ing ladies to keep within doo;•s. Turnbull was then taken to the stal.o line and charged never to return to Woodville or ho would be killed. IIe promised to heed the warning. The woman was not molested. - ---mss'----- • ADVICE TO MOTHERS —Are you dis- turbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of Cutting Teeth?

NEWSPAPER LAWS We call the special attention of Pos nesters and subscribers to the followin synopsis of the newspaper laws :- 1—A postmaster is required to give ounce BY LETTER (returning a paper dots not answer the law) when a subscriber does aot take his paper out of the office, and state the reason for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publishers for payment 2—If any person orders his paper dis- zontinued, ho must pay all arrearrges, i the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it be taken fron the office or not. Thera can be no lega, discontinuance until the payment is made 3—Any person who takes a paper from the post-ottlice, whether airected to hit name or another, or whether he has sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the pay 4—If a subscriber orders his paper to bi stopped at a certain time, and the publish- er continues to send it, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the post -office. This proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he user Jqr In the Division Court in Godericb at the November sitting a newspaper tut- lisher sued for pay of paper. The defend- ant objected paying on the ground that he had ordered a former proprietor of the paper to discontinno it. The Judge held that that was not a valid defence. The pininttfl, the present proprietor, had no roti ;0 to discontinue an(.1 consequently could collect, although it was not denied that defendant had notified former pro- prietor to discontinue. In any event defonaht was bound to pay for the time he had received the paper and until he had paid all arrears due for subscription.
