The Huron Expositor, 1870-01-28, Page 8(Continued from tat Page.) Discovering his mistake, the captain fired his pistol at the speaker, and rushed back. to the house. A hailstorm 'of lead soon rattled -on . the weather -boards ; ` and. Mrs. Daventry and Phcabe. got up and ruched about like maniacs.. The women's screams were not balculated to improve the captain's and Long Steve's aim, and though they had the advantage of cover, and Walter to load for, them; and of the: ino011 which came. up presentIy;° seven to two are heavy odds. (The overseer and assigned servants said next morning that they had been sound asleep—one indeed, had heard s little firing, but thought it was the cap- tain out shooting !) I am afraid that the besieg- • ers would have been the victors had not a patty of the -captain's friends suddenly remade their ap- pearance. They -had been dining together about ten miles off, and a dranken coni©t had let out in their hearing the intended attack on Daventry Hall. They had instantly rushed tehorse, and galloped the ton miles at a racing speed. The bushrangers turns tail when the new comers poured a volley into them. Five of the scound- rels, altogether, had been hit, but only one was taken. When this prisoner was escorted to the nearest police barracks next day, the reason of the constable's non-appearance at Daventry Hall the night before was discovered. The escort was very much astonished to find no 'sentinel at the barracks -gates. They were still more astonished to find the sergeant and his men lashed down to the mess -room floor—all gagged, pinioned and fettered. Hook -handed Bill had been fully aware of the captain's arrangements with the police, and had taken them by surprise in their lonely barracks before he dispatched his insolent message by Walter. . •.• Doings in the (Ecumenical Council Without waiting for the complete nomi- nations of the four deputations 'of bishops, whose judge;nent is to be provisien;elly com- petent in questions of : faith; discipline, re- ligious orders'and Oriental affairs; the en- eral cengregation of the Council,which met at St. Peters on the 28th, after elect- ing twenty-four fathers for the - deputation of religious orders, proceeded at once to the opening discussion -of the eighteeet projected ',decrees on matters or faith submitted by the pieparatory commissions. , Inaccordance with the Pope s regulati- ons, the orators desirous, of sues Ping on the subject -13 in number :had ins gibed their names before hand, Cardinal Rat scher bear- ing the Iasi: But not all the pielates actually ascended the rostrum.The Cardi- nal got up first, with astudie Latin dis- course ; but as he wins -little he. rd endless understood, his Eminence had t raise his voice by degrees to a perfect eh u.t, which, considering the time he kept i up must have sufficiently tested' the solidity of his lungs. Spae apict:ra, Latin_ Patiiaieh of.Jerusal- , em, .followed ` Cardinal Drescher, 'and he was succeeded by the Bishops f Halifax and St. Louis, and an of T `Ptah n bishop, who, whatever mny have been 11 s talent in speaking const have been "all ea " in listen- ing, as he is atone blind and ca i only re- ceive impressions through th organ of hearing. As only five out of th thii teen orators inscribed, got a chanc o speaking, the subject, whatever it was i to be re- sumed :in to -day's sitting, after t.ie election of deputation on Oriental affairs. 1 have been informed that the first topic thus introduced to the considerc`ioh of the OE unci 'was the new (errmau' Doctrine of Catholic Pantheism, a kind of rafting of philosophy on to orthodoxy whic does not suit the Church of Rome, The b•shops who spoke ,were mainly of the oppo ition, and the report which circulated in society fre- quented by thein party that evening was Oat they had made slashing.: speeches, and race' totally crushed the. Government pro- gtarnme. What this triumph c n consist in, while the debate is at so early a stage, I am .unable to realize, especially a ` the bish- ops themselves are at an an utt r less to comprehend the meaning of theii speaking ' colleagues, and have applied " fou " copies- of the short hand reports of each Preceeding sitting to`= keep them up to the _ respect to what is said. This r . :been refused, on the pretext that graphers' reports are reserved to lection of Official documents, fro compose an atithen tic history o can Council. It was very evident that. the th - speaking portion of the ecclesiast • meat will, as in political zssembli: magnitude, from a very small mi as that minority will belong chie opposition, it is apprehended th votes are unanimous upon. ; the questions, and aro nomielly reg' hundred or two names thus pu - the world will be those of the e • and .independent Members of te Roan Catholic hierarchy, in oppositioIn to those of the unexaniining and iuhesita mg obedi- ent majority, whose mere numbe s of votes shall .neve _ecarried through , th , Council whatever tie Pope, Sioposes, and negatived a whate'er he disapproves. This '11 certain- ly be a -kind of protest.' but no mmediate • practical result is to be expecte from it ; and as to the threatened departu a of the French Ambassador with;' all etb French bishops and the Frenc h troops a: his back, in case of the publication of any articular dogma, I do not think we shall w'tness any teach exciting spectacle.,. A feeling. s „beginning to previa , ;even at this early stage of the concilitar proceed- ings, that the *hole undertaking ill ;result -in a, aco; but this will proceed: from in- ` Y terrial and :not external cause, such a r ii elai choly finale really does up' the Pope's cherished 'scheme.

' The'bYshops consequently begin to appreciate the difference of living in the Eternal eiay under the immediate ferrule of°their scloolri rister, sd to call him, • and the free and independent position they occu- py in ,their 4ioce es at home, to which, no doubt, as weeks, and months roll on, they will. feel -more anxious to return. Being ,prohibited from meeting at each other's houses the fathers of the Council will still have a neutral ground on which to carryon their confabulations in the houses of their different ambassadors. There were no few- er than sixty French Bishops at the Freih Ambassodor's last reception, and the Ger- man bishops muster in considerable strength atthe house of his Bavarian Minister. Traupman and his Crime From the New York Times, The most inhuuran•savage of the present • to -yesterday genera,Lion vag,pu t, t death., in Paris. Why it should have been thought that the occasion of his execution -would be seiz- ed upon as the pretext for a popular "mani- festation," we do not profess to understand. The crimes committed by the monster who, bore the hame of Trauprnann are so horrible and revolting that we can almosi.ianagine the universal voice of mankind crying aloud for his blood. .As a matter of fact, the crowds which gathered round the scaffold yesterday received Traupmann with a storm of execration. He persisted in This story that he had accomplices—but the riob yelled at the ruffian until he had ceased to exist. It is one of those cases in which' almost every one is heard to declare that death is too slight a punishment for the offence. It is quite possible that, under our laws Traupmann. would have escaped punish- ment: We proceed upon<the principle that it is wrong to encourage a prisoner to incri- minate a prisoner._ The French adopt a different system. They employ every means within their power, short of physical 'torture, to extract the truth from an ac- cused person. The President of the Court of Assizes nett before Traupmann a pic- ture of his whole life,.and then wrung from him, bit by bit, the awful secrets attending the murder of"a husband, a wife and six children. • Any one who read the account of the trial, which we were enabled to lay before the public last Sunday, will long re- tain a recollection of the remorsless process used in France to compel a criminal to speak. Never Was it employed' to better .purpose than in bringing this miscreant to the scaffold.' It was iu September last that a laborer on his way to -work saw a foulard handker- chief sticking out of the ground at a spot near the. Pantin Station. He stopped to pull itout, and found that.it was attached to a human• head. ' When -the Police came. they dug up the earth, and found the bod- ies of six. persons, .which were afterwards recognized to be those of Mme. Finck and five of her children. The bodies were mangled in the most hideous manner. Some of the -victims had evidently made a struggle for life, and they were horribly stabbed and cut. The eldest son, a lad of seventeen years of age, was " literally rid- dled with stabs.' When thecircamstances al tending the murders came to be known, they ty erred the ho th which t burr reg a to ',K nck hied letter 'd ' r 'hens to join hero ifle id ZtauP rnanne ` et .her, and placed her in a carriage. with her eh it dren. Upon ,arriving at a certain field. he told Mine. Kiuck to alight and follow him :but the two youngest children cried, "Mam- ma! oh, mamma ! we will go with you. " The poor woman took a little girl -of three years of age in her arms, acid while walking along Traupman stabbed her in the back with a table knife. Before he had finished with her the children cried. and he stabbed them . also, and moreover .beat them,, about the head with a picknife, Then he., went back to the cai riage and brought the other -three children, snd suddenly tell upon them, strangling one and staobing the oth- ers.. He spent the remainder of the night in burying them, and then rnade good his escepe. For a time the suspicion of committing these incredible atrocities follupon the fath- er of the family thus swept from the earth —Jean Kinek. Kink was " a fiood weak ;man., easy to dominate." and Traupman re- preented that if he would go with him to Alsace, where he had a sinall property. he would be able to increase his -narrow means - without any difficulty:. Kinek .and Traup- man were aeentogether, but afterwaids the former disappeared. Traupman was arr.;s ted and at once admitted that he was.•an ac- complice to the murders“ He threw the chief part of the blame on Kinek. But it was afterwards discovered that . Traupman had first murdered the father for the sake of some money he had with him, and then conceived) the dbohcal schieme of = annihil- sting the entire f amity. He imitated Jean' Kinck's signature,, and wrote,tp Mrs. Kinck the instiuctions • to proceed to Alsace. As he said himself, in, the, ecoffers4o4 ofT9v. 13 . `A°fuer Kind had' been utt'er'ed, it was a sort of necessity for me to kill the zicembers '=of < his ' family,, since everybody- knew that he had come to:see' me at me, na- tive village: ' • ' . • • • ` The labyrinth of lies which this barbare! ous assassin devised to conceal his guilt is touch etoo 'intricate to be `described at this 'ndmeii:' Suffice' it to say that a 'series; 'of, accidents served to point him as the guilty man, and he was arrested on his way to Havre, where he intended. to take passage to this country.

After a while he con- fessedtthat'bi /MA ° burred i ck 'Id a spot namek by hiitii and upon search being made there the u tl"v' wits' `found: Not ` the least startling part "ot this almost unprecedented story is flet the malefactor was only in. his twentieth year. in sppearance he was re- pulsive; and his' character had always been that of a violent and passionate man. His mouth was wide : his upper lip was drawn up and displayed his teeth. The fingers of his hands were "twisted and claw-like, and his feet were spread like those of an ape. " His actions stamp him as a creature scar- cely human, and any onewould be a morbid sentimentalist, indeed. who did not rejoice to think that he has been wiped out from the world. A Rich Windfall Some months since a statement was°published tothe effect that Miss Gray, a Milliner at Fort Edward had become thefortunate heiress of $19,- 500.000, whieh her lover, a young Englishman, had willed to her upon his dying bed. The main fact in the case—the heirseip is true : but it was not to the lover but to his father that Miss Gray is indebted for her extraordinary goodfortune: It seems the lover on his return to England, like too many others, proved inconstant, and married an other lady against his father's will. Whether it was remorse at his faithlessness or from other cause; certain it is the young man died in about a year after his marriage, and left all his property to his father. The old gentleman was without heirs, and not having become reconciled to his daughter-in-law, upon his death left one-half of his property to the Government of England and one remaining half, $16,000,000, to Miss Gray, the Fort Edward Milliner. The arum was so large that many people were disposed to doubt its truth when it first appeared in print, but Miss Gray has already received the firstinstalment of her fortune. a'trifie of $5,000:000,` from • the Bri- tish Consul,. announoing that the money awaited her order. and on the following day she left. Fort Edward for New York, where it was paid over to her. Troy Times. NOTICE TO CHEESE MAKERS. The Thames Road Cheese Factory; which is situated in the Township of Hibbert, County sof Perth.
