A number of farmers in that vicinity have also had grain in small quantities taken from their barns, and one night recently, Mr. Cook's new house was entered by some parties who either maliciously I burned some wiadow sashes, or used them to keep on a fire and slept there.

Stbange but True. â€" On Friday last about one o'clock, a man from the vicinity of Maikdaie was driving along the road in Sullivan township, near Desboro, when his attention was suddenly attracted by an object by the wayside, and on coming forward it proved to be a German girl Just after giving birth to a child. The man hastened to the nearest dwelling and secured the services of the woman of the bouse. The girl picked up her offspring and walked to fiaid bouse where she was cared for. It appears she had been stopping with relations at Desboro who, on learning her state, force^ her to leave on the above day. The names of the parties we withhold. The wisdom of inflicting capital punishmea-t upon persons convicted of the grav« political offencesofinoitiDg to rebellion and occasioning loss of life being, -cenceded, the Feueral Government acted wisely in not ar- resting the action of the law in the case of Louis Riel. The misguided man had a fair trial, and after the sentence his cooneil and friends were allowed to exhaaist every legitimate means of showing why the death penalty should not be inflicted. The highest courts m the realm found no reason for interfering with the death sentence. In his death justice has been yindiested, and the inherent ill-desert of cnnte has met with its jnst reward. The action of a portion of the French speaking population ot this country in stirriag race-hatred over Riel's punishment is gresAly to be deplored. ' It is to be hoped that tbey will see in the execution of Riel both a lesson and « warning.

Habvey Safety Lamp.â€" We have been favored with a view ofthis new petroleum light, and we are strongly convinced of its superior- ity as a coal oil burner oyer any lamp yet placed on the market. The air chamber in which the wick-case is suspended has openings at the collar permitting a constant circulation of air downward around the wick-case^ thence upward through the wick-case, thus giving a direct central draught. By this arrangement the wick-case is isolated from the oil, a small tube conveying sufficient oil through' to the wiok. This lamp is constructed upon thoroughly practical and scientific principles, and the result attained is a beautiful, soft white light, which for economy, brilliancy and steadiness is not surpassed by either gas or elec- tricity.
