\Literary and Musical Entertain-
ments. | To the Editor of the Examiner:
Sir, —A few suggestions respecting Literary, Dramatical and Musical Entertainments offered by your humble servant in THr EXAMINER of the 18th inst., have brought forth from a well- known young (%) friend (?) of mine a perfect | torrent of abuse. I have not the slightest in- | tention of entering into any controversy with ‘Young Stager,” nor of paying him back in his own coin (having no brass on hand at present), but would merely remind him ‘‘that there is a certain limit which phen reached, patience ceases to be a virtue.”
‘The person who would try to re-open old sores long since healed, is a creature devoid of all human feeling; and I therefore pass over with silent contempt the allusions to past mis- fortunes.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the space al. lowed me in your valuable journal, I will leave my casein the hands of a generous public, asking them to judge which is the worse sin- ner of the two, the man who, through misfor. tune over which he has no control, falls into debt; or the man who, with his. eyes wide open, contracts debts knowing at the same time his utter anability to pay them. -‘ Ab uno disce omnes, (From a single instance you may infer the whole.) If ‘ Young Stager” still feels inclined to give my name in full, he is at perfect liberty to do so. ‘Those whom the God’s love die young.”
Yours, &c., OLD STAGER.

A Girl Burned to Death.
WAS IT OUTRAGE AND MURDER / (From the Hx. Herald.)
On Sunday evening last, the 15th inst., two yeung men, named Charles Taylor and Hiram Late, together with a girl named Amelia Freeman, called at the house of Mr. William Late, and persuaced,hia daughter Emma Late, a girl of about 19 years of age, to go out for a walk with them. They walked some distance, and stayed out so late that they were unable to get into their homes. They then decided to go to Mor- ton’s mill, and stay there for the night. On arriving at the mills, the two girls gathered some chips and wood, and made on a fire in the fireplace, which is usually kept for the convenience of the men working in the mills. They all laid down by this fire, and, it is said, went asleep.
Nothing has as yet been ascertained of what occurred between this and three or four o’clock on Monday morning.
About four o’clock, a m., one of the men (our reporter was unable to learn which one, but it was probably Taylor), was heard knocking at his mother’s house, and when she appeared at the window, to tell her that Emma Late was badly burned at the mill. Some of the people were aroused, including Dr. Morse, who proceeded to the mill, and were met with a sight which
ALMOST BAFFLES DESCRIPTION.
Emma Late was lying near the fireplace, with every stitch of clothes burned from off her, except her boots. Her body was hor- ribly burned, and preseutod one mass of blisters. She was. however, still alive, but lingering in the most intense agony. The two men, Taylor and Late, were present, and were asked by Dr. Morse to take off their coats and throw them over the dying girl, but they refused to do so. The girl was conscious and recognized Mr. James, the agent of the W. & A. Railway, with whom she formally lived. She was asked how she came to be burned, but failed to tell, apparently desiring to screen those who who had been her companions during the night. She was taken to her home on a board, where she lingered in the
MOST EXCRUCIATING AGONY
until 1.30 p. m., when death released her from her terrible sufferings. Taylor, Late and the girt Freeman, were allowed to go to their homes until about nine o’clock on Monday morning, when they were, after considerable resistance, arrested on a war rant issued by Mr. James, and taken to Annapolis Jail. On being questioned, they said they did not know anything about it, more than that when they were awakened Emma Late was allin a blaze; they were terrified, and went into the village and raised an alarm. The excitement in the village and through the whole valley is in- tense.
The deceased was a good-natured, kind- hearted girl, and is kindly spoken of by the family with whom she formerly lived.
A thorough investigation into the case, and the swift and severe punishment of the guilty parties who were with her, are uni- versally demanded.
The Lord Chanceallor’s Baridom.
Among the proceedings in the House of Lords on the 6th inst., we have the follow- ing noteworthy report :—
Immediately the Lord Chancellor had taken his seat, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon rose aud said: My Lords, I have to inform your Lordships that Her Majesty has been pleased to create Hugh M’Calmont

'The Accidental Death of Samuel Bishop.
Kentrvitte, Dec. 23.—The body of Sam- uel Bishop, aged 50, was found yesterday morning at the Mill Brook. Deceased had been drinking the night before and is sup-
| posed to have fallen over the bridge, strik-
ing on his head, and was killed by the blow, as a severe gash was found in his head. There was not enough water in the brook at the time and place to drown him.

Sugar Beets in New Brunswick.
The St. John Telegraph says that Dr. Gilchrist, a Portland physician, who owns a splendid farm of 330 acres, at Hampton, and has a herd of 18 thorough-bred Jerseys and several thorough-bred horses, has raised some sugar beets and finds them excellent for feeding cattle. He called to say that he will plant five acres of sugar beets next season, in order to encourage the organiza- tion of a beet sugar factory, and because he knows the beets are scarcely less valuable for stock than for sugar making. We are authorized on behalf of William Pugsley, Esq., of Sussex, who owns one of the most splendid farms in this Province, to say that he will next season cultivate five acres of sugar beets to help the movement. We shall be glad to hear further from our en- lightened farmers on this subject.

Miscellaneous News.
During the southeast gale and snow- storm of the 23rd, the schr. ‘‘ Speed,” of and fromSt. John, Nild., for Charlottetown, P. E. 1., went on shore at Carribou Ceve. She will likely be a total wreck. The mate, who is in charge, reports that three days after leaving St. John’s, Capt. Gibbons jumped overboard and was drowned.
A Vienna despatch says that the Russian Government apprehend a. Nihilist demon- stration on the 16th. A number of arrests were made last week. It is rumored that the temporary closing of Universities is seriously contemplated. These internal troubles are considered as one cause of Rute sia’s conciliatory foreign policy.
A PROMINENT contractor publishes a let- ter in which he charges that ex-Premier Mackenzie let the contract for the construc. tion of the Pembina Branch of the Pacific Railway, to political friends, at « hundred thousand doliars over the offer of a lower tenderer, who was prepared to furnish secur- ities, and, in addition, give a contractor's bonus of $15,000, which was used to defeat Sir John in Kingston, and Hon. Alex. Morris in Selkirk.
Mr. Cross, the English Home Secretary, recently received the degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Cambridge. The undergraduates were very noisy, and during the proceedings lowered from the gallery a flag bearing an inscription refer- ring to Mr. Cross’ position in the Trinity College Boat Club when ho was a_ student. The Home Secretary took the flag, folded it, and put it in his pocket amid uproarious cheering.
Taz Hamilton market tolls for 1879 were sold on the 13th inst. by auction, and were knocked down to Mr. Samuel Davis for $8,840, who, however, rued his bargain, paying $200 forfeit, and they will be sold over again. This indicates a marked in- crease of late years in the revenue derived from this source. For this year’s tolls $7,775 had been paid; for 1877. $7,880; for 1876, $7,015; for 1875, $5,602; for 1874, $6,370. Windsor market fees sold last year for $575, and $1,000 is expected for them in 1879. The market fees of Ottawa were sold on Monday last for $11,830. Those of Brantford for 1879 were sold on the 13th inst. at auction for $2,675.—Monetary Times. :
The public generally, and journalistic and literary circles particularly, will hear with profound sorrow of the death of Bay- ard Taylor, which occurred in Berlin last week. Mr. Taylor commenced his literary career on the New York Tribune, under Horace Greeley, and gradually developed into a prose writer and a poet of no mean order. He travelled extensively in the new and old worlds, and his descriptions of the sights and scenes of other lands were not only accurate and interesting in their facts, but graphically written. In politics he was an early and staunch adherent of the Republican party, to whom he owed his position in the diplomatic service. Within a year or two he visited New Brunswick, spending a few days with his friends in Al- bert County. His death is, to some extent, a national loss. :
Many of the disappointments which come to young farmers are the result of miscal- culation. Because the buildings are tidy, the fences up, and the location desirable, they are betrayed into buying a worn out farm. This is especially frequent in eld settled communities. For years the hard- fisted owner, who didn’t believe in “ new- fangled notions,” kept skinning the old farm, until it was good for nothing but:to help hold the world together. Fora young man to take hold of such a farm as that is as discouraging an experiment as to pump all day, under a broiling July sun, at a diy well. To re-fertilize itis about as much es the farm is worth. Look over your pros pective purchases with a view to find out what they have yielded, if you don’t kncw the owner has not been one of the skinning
sort. ;
