Dablin, Jan.4. â€" United Ireland pub- lishes an account of the murder of James Carey, written by a gentleman who received it from Patrick O'Donnell under promise that it was not to be told as long as a chuice remained to saye O'Donnell'e life. The accouut shows O'Donnell deliberately kUled Carey. There was no struggle. Carey made no attack upon O'Donnell. Had Mr. Justice Denman permitted him to speak O'Donnell \iould have told the whole truth. O'Donnell was not acquainted with Carey on the voyage from England to the Cape of Good Hope. He was not a member of any society. He recognized Carey by a woodcut he saw at Capetown and re- solved to kill him. He intended to go with him to a farm at Port ' Eliza- beth which Carey had told him he was going to take and thus show that there was no spot where Carey could be safe. Finding himself, however, alone with Carey, he could not resist the desire to kill him. Carey pbrceiv- ed his danger and said: "Do you know me." O'Donnell replied, "You are Carey the informer, to hell with you." A bullet sped with the words and the deed was done. Carey clutch- ed his own revolver, but too late. O'Donnell fired two more shots and Carey rolled to the deck. Nobody saw the encounter except O'Donnell's com- panion, who threw her arms around him, aud filled the ship with her cries. He had told her that morning that he meant to kill Carey and would hang for it. When Mrs. Carey reache^ the scene O'Donnell said to her, to do it." the wild and random utterancee of the Btnmp. The re-appearance of Sir. Cartwright on the political stage, where he ia a hindrance rather than a help, from every other standpoint than that of his knowledge of finan cial and trade questions, is a sure in* dication that the Grits mean to wage the conflict on the old lines and re- state the same weary platitudes which they call their principles. Ephraim is joined to their idols â€" lek him alone. In the Provincial arena the tories, although their election over the elec- tions of last spring has been some- what dampened by later reverses, will make a determined effort to force the fighting. The chances of political conflict, the blunders, and the recent petty but glaring jobs of the Mowat Administration have put sev- ernl powerful weapons into their hands. Nevertheless, they can hardly hope to make a wide enough breach in Mr. Mowat's majority, reduced though it may be, to permit them to capture the citadel. The chances are altogether in favour of the Govern- ment being able to hold its own, and if it does that successfully through the session the prestige of invulner- bility will bring it increased strength afterwards. â€" Toronto Ntws. Ttae Adveotures of Plough. JSnow IHiy Some People are Poor. Silver spoons are used to scrape kettles. Nice handled knives are thrown into hot water. Bags, strings and paper are thrown into the fire. Clothes are left on the line to whip to pieces in the wind. Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to dry and fall apart. Dried fruit are not taken care of in season, and become wormy. Pork spoils for the want of salt, and beef because the brine wants scalding. Cofliee, tea, pepper, and spices are left to stand open and loose their strength. The flour is sifted in a wasteful manner, and the breadpan is left with the dough sticking to it. Potatoes in the cellar grow and the sprouts are not removed imtil the po- tatoes become worthless. fiits of meat, vegetables, bread.and cold pudding are thrown away, when they might be warmed, aud served as good as new. A runaway snow-plough on the Toronto, Grey, Bruce Eailway caus- ed considerable excitement at Park- dale recently. The plough was taken up the track to clear the road of snow, and when being brought back to the city the coupling pin broke and the plough commenced the journey on its own account. The agent at Park- dale was notified by telegraph to look out for it and throw it off the track. The plough, however, passed the station before the agent could take "I had ActioQ to check its mad career. It J made the journey safely until it reach- ed the roundhouse, where it crashed through the doors and would have doubtless committed much greater damage had not the turntable been a foot or two off the track, allowing the runaway to fall into the pit. A man who was working in the roundhouse at the time on a ladder only escaped by hanging to the pipes at which he was working. RAILi^rVAT C0I«S0L.IDATI05r.

The Dominion Parliament has been summoned to meet for the despatch of business on the 17th inst., and the Local Legislature of Ontario assemb- les ou the 23rd, so that in a very short time the caldron of political ex- citement will begin to boil furiously. There is every prospect that both ses- sions will be considerably more liyely than usual. In Ottawa the Grits will muster their strength for an onslaught on the trade pohcy of the Government The touch of depression which we are experiencing strengethens their posi- tion â€" not logically, perhaps, but prac- tically all the same. The Tories, by their absurd boasts of what the N. P. was gomg to accomplish, and their reckless optimism m regard to a measure which was largely experimen- tal, have laid' themselves open to the tatmte of their adversaries ou account of the tariff having failed to secure a^ steady continuance of prosperity, both parties are about as wrong head- ed and wilfully bUnd as possible in their mode of treating economical ^estions â€" whi demand careful rtndyuideahn (fought rather than I A meeting of the shareholders of the Ontario Quebec and Canadian Pacific Railways was held at the offioe of Osier and Hammond yesterday, for the purpose of leasing what is known as the Ontario and Quebec system of railways to the Canadian Pacific Hall- way for 999 years. From what could be gathered from those who attend the meeting, there appeared to be no difference of opinion as to the advisa- bility of making the agreement but as the document embodying the lease was not ready for signature and a number of matters of detail were to be arranged, an adjournment was made until the 3rd of January. By the proposed arrangement the Canadian Pacific acquires the following lines of railway â€" Toronto, Grey Bruce divibion, Toronto to Owen Sound, 122 miles OrangeviUe Junction to Teeswater,70 miles. Total, 182 miles. Credit Valley division, Toronto to St. Thomas, Streetsville to OrangeviUe Church's Falls to Elora. Total, 183^ miles. Ontario and Quebec, Toronto to Perth. 200 miles. Making a total of 575^ miles al- ready built. In addition to this there is the un- completed London Junction Bailway, covering a distance of 12 miles, and the projected line from Smith's Falls to Montreal, the distance of which may be roughly giyen as 125 miles. The link between Perth and Smith'ti. Falls is already built, and will be part of the new system and the C. P. B. already operates a line from Perth to Ottawa. An office for what may nonr- be known as the Ontario and Quebec- division of the 0. P. B. will be estblishr. ed in Toronto. â€" Qlobe. .r v4 M
