cember, 1889, as compared with half

the savings bank balances for the year
are at the rate of 4.5 per cent. Turn-
ing to the bank circulation, there was
an increase of £351,000 as compared
with 1888, With regard to the railway
statistics, the traffic returns for the
year are most encouraging, and show a
steady and, continued increase, The
total receipts for the year amount to
£2,978,651, which is the highest annual
amount on record for the railways of
Ireland. As compared with last year's
(1888) returns, there is an increase of
£131,274. In 1888 the receipts amount-
ed to £2,853,894, and in 1887 to £2,S01,-
586. From other sources it .is learned
that there has been a steady decrease
in crimes of an agrarian character as
compared with late years—a circum-
stance, to whatever cause it may be
attributed, which should have the effect
of inducing the Government to repeal
the exceptional legislation passed for
the suppression of such outrages and
for the protection of life and property.
Slowly bet surely, link by link, the
chain of evidence against Burchell,
•cti.F. �haiaed with the murder of F C Ben-
Out., on the 17t h
ell, near Eastwood, Qn ,
t last,is being forged. A
of February 5 n
Nemesis is upon his track, and if he
or it traus - ires that he is in -
escapes, p
nocent of shedding: human blood, the
case• will be one of the most arvellons
� l ln
failures of cireumstaueial evidence
ever chronicled,. Burchell had a mot-
ive in getting rid. of Benwell; the lat-
ter was disappointed,probably irritated,
and in that event would have threat-
ened Burchell with exposure not only
in Canada, but in England; he must
have been aware of the fact that Bur-
chell was an adventurer, and this with
the fact that Benwell's personal proper-
ty was valuable, may have incited the
commission of a crime as foul and
bloodthirsty as any to be found upon
the criminal calendar of any civilized
. country in the world, Of course there
is a probably, even a meagre possibil-
that further developments may coin-
pletely` reverse the existing order of
things, altough the downward career
of Burette!' fully justifies the belief
that he was the chief factor in com-
passing young Benwell's death. The
accused man is now in Woodstock,
where, as stated, he was identified by
a man named Buck as having been in
close proxmity to the spot where the
dead. body was found. Later develop-
ments are quite sensational. Reports
state that Buck is a pian who, though
he has resided in the locality for a num-
ber of years, seems to be almost un-
known. Naturally, therefore, after he
had identified' the prisoner,eehe was
thrown into a strange light; and peo-
ple began to imagine who he is. It
will be remembered that for two or
-three days before Burchell's name was
in any way connected with the crime,
the detectives were working upon
clues which pointed at two men named
Baker and Caldwell. After Burchell';
arrest this clue was dropped and all
talk of it had ceased. Woodstock was
thrown into excitement when it was
made known that the man Baker is a
brother-in-law of Buck. Upon Buck's
evidence the Crown will rely for a
strong circumstance against the pris-
oner. Since the relationship between
Buck and Baker has been made known
u
there are many who doubt Buck's story
regarding Burchell. Everybody has a
theory, and, strange to say,the feeling
seems to be fast turning in Burchell's
favor. Many gentleman of promin-
ence, and who know all thea parties,
Pickthall included, are not slow to
express the opinion that Burchell will
not hang, and even go so far as to say
that they believe him innocent of the
crime. Naturally enough, sentiment
will exercise influence over hundreds
who delight -in theories, and are only
happy when evolving novel situations
.and sentimental complications out of
very ordinary material. It is far from
likely that Buck,even though desirous
ofsheilding his relatives,would volun-
teer to give evidence of identification,
when failure would involve the utter
discomfiture of the cousuirators. Bur-
chell's career has been downward from
'Boyhood;he has been living like a sav-
age in the midst of civilized society--
and
ociety-and appears to have become reckless
and indifferent to all social usages.

From the annual report of the In-
spector• of Asylums and Public Charities
for the Province of Ontario it is learned
that the total number of lunatics in the
asylums at Toronto, London, Hamilton
and •.Kingston on the 30th September
last -was 3,181—of whom 1,590 were
males and 1,591 were females. In the
asylum for idiots at Orillia there were
309 patients -158 males and 151 females.
The number of lunatics who died dur
ing the year was 158; the number dis-
charged as cured, 182; discharged as'
improved, 62; discharged as unimprov-
ed, 27; discharged as not insane, 2.
The number of lunatics remaining in
the asylums at the date named was the
largest since 1877, when it was 1,859.
The nationalities of the patients admit-
ted to the lunatic asylums of the prov-
ince since the year 1841 were: Canad-
ian, 6,513; English, 1,993; Irish, 3,259;
Scotch, 1,431; United States, 440; other
countries and unknown, 779—a total
of 14,415. Their religious denomina-
tions were: Church of England, 3,475;
Roman Catholic, 3,124; Presbyterian,
2,995; Methodist, 2,792; other denomin-
ations and unknown, 2,092.
The exciting causes of lunacy in the
cases of the 519 patients admitted to
the asylums last year were: Domestic
troubles, including loss of relatives or
friends, 39; religious excitement, 19;
adverse circumstances, including busi-
ness troubles, 22; love affairs, including
seduction, 9; mental anxiety, "worry,"
27; fright and nervous shocks, 8; in-
temperance in drink,14; intemperance,
sexual, 2; venereal disease, 2; self-
abuse, sexual, 17; over -work, 15; sun-
stroke, 3; accident or injury, 9; preg-
nancy, 5; puerperal, 6; lactation, 2;
puberty and change of life, 10; uterine
disorders, 8; brain disease, with general
paralysis, 6; brain disease, with epilep-
sy, 18; other forms of brain disease, 6;
other bodily diseases or disorders, in-
cluding old age, 24; fevers, 7; heridi-
tar:y, 20.
The accommodation for patients in
the province continues to be inadequate.
The report says the number of admis-
sions during the year 1889, was only
limited by the amoilnt of accommoda-
tion afforded by the province. There
were at the close of the official year,
September 20th, 159 applications on
fele in excess of the accommodation
afforded by the asylums. The number
of admissions would have been quite as
great, no doubt, in 1889 as in 1888, if
there had been beds in existence for,
them,

amounted to $490,604,71. There was

IRELAND'S PROSPERITY.
The condition of Ireland appears to
be steadily improving. Evidence of
the fact is found in the annual report
of Dr. Grimshaw, Registrar -General.
An analysis of the figures relating to
banking and railway enterprises shows
that during the last few years the
country has made steady strides towards
prosperity. The return sets forth that
the deposits in the joint stock banks at
the end of December last stood at £82,-
968,000, as compared with £30,979,000
et the same period of. 1888, thins show-
ing an increase of £1,989,000, following
all increase of £1,208,000 at the close
of 1888, as compared with the amount
for Deeember, 1887, which was £401,000
below the amount for the end of 1886.
Perhaps' the most pleasing feature of
the return is a further development of
thrift among the working and lower
middle classes in Ireland as deduced
from the i nciea57hdeposits at the
earvin s banks. These are divided into
iiwo, classes post -office and trustees
