m DREADFUL MURDER AT HiAMlLTON. A WOMAN KILLED BT HER PARAMOUR. On Saturday morning, between nine and ten o’clock, a woman named Eliza Welsh, said to belong tc> Toronto* had her throat cut from â- â‚¬ar to Car by a in all narnod John Mitchell, with whom she had been for some time cohabiting. The two, with an infant child, arrived in Hamilton from Toronto, on Thurs- day, and put up at a small tavern, where they remained until Satur- day, wh**n at the hour above men- tioned, the landlady of the inn, hearing dreadful screams from the room they occupied, went up stairs and found the woman lyin^ on the floor in a pool of blood with the man “doing somethingat her throat. The alarm was given, and the man immediately arrested, bu* in the meantime the woman had expired. An inquest was held at which it was proved, that with her last breath the deceased said she had been murdered, and a verdict, of wilful murder was accordingly tendered against Mitchell, who, with the utmost unconcern, presis- ted in the statement, that his victim had committed suicide.â€" Cyl»nist. Severe Cold.â€"A colder snap than we experienced on Monday the most frigid lover of frost and snow could not desire. The thermometer stood lower than it had been known for two or three years before, marking as it did, early in the morning, 30 degrees below zero â€" An open winter had been predicted, a supposition which the mild state of the weather up to and some days alter the new year appeared to justify, and when the intense cold at. last came, people were ill-prepared for it. The ground was aL ready hidden by a thin covering of crisp snow, and notwithsta d ng the low state of the temperature, snow continued to •all at intervals during the day. The sleighing was most excellent, and whilst • ..... daylight lasted, hundreds of jingling bells were to be heard in oar streets. Avail- ing themselves of the facilities for easy ’locomotion, the farmers attended the market from all quarters with the staple commodities of pork, cord wood and grain, which necessaries,it' the good roads con- tinue, we it ay expect to see even yet lower in price. At Brockville tlie quick- silver was down at 37 below zero, being colder there at that particular time than it is felt in ttie city of St. Petersburg. In Toronto, however, it grew warmer towards noon, and the thermometer rose [to four j but it did not get above that figure, and at no period during the day was the necessity removed of applying to frozen noses and ears the restorative process of friction by means of snow.- - Globe.

About 11 o’clock last night, a fire broke out in rear of the American Ex- press and Telegraph Offices, and spread rapidly to the adjoining buildings. The buildings destroyed were the Telegraph and American Express Offices ; the lar^e store of Mr. McArdle, and the large block owued by Mr. John F. Mittleher- jfcr, in which wa-, situated the jewcliy store of Mr. Jackson; T. L. HeHiweil's Insurance office, anil the store ol F. W. McDonald & t o. On lh» upper flat the Free Masons had their lodge-rowin, lilted up lately at a great expense, and fur- nished in an elegant manner, but not in- sured. The insurance effected by the different owners was, as far as we can learn, as follows: The Telegraph and Express Offices, belonging to Dr. Fer- ris’ estate, insured in the Niagara Dis- trict Mutual, $1200 ; Mr. McArdle, on building $200, in the Nia::a a District Mutual, and on stock $1200. in jiritish America ; Mr. Jackson jeweler, on stock $1000, also in British America; Mr. J. -Mitlleberger $8000â€"one-halt in Equitable and the other half in British America; Roland McDonald, $2000 on ktock, in the l'hoenix, of London. This is the most destructive fire we ever had in St. Catharines, as all thr buildings de- stroyed were of a permanent kind, and will not be easily replaced.â€" Colonist Desthuction of the Detroit Tri- bune Office.â€"The Detroit Free Press says that on Friday morning the bui ding on the coiner of Woodward avenue anil VVoodbridge street, occupied by the De- troit Daily 'Tribune, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given imme- diately. but the flames had made such progress be ore they were discovered that the whole establishment was consumed in less than one hour. The fire had evi- dently been burning for some time before the alarm was given, as a light was no- ticed through the tront windows half an hour previous, which however, attracted no attention, as it was supposed to have been caused by persons at work. Em- ployes of the Free Press office, on theii return home from the night work, ob- served this li^ht, but thought nothing ol it. Fire Engines Nos. 1 and 2 were on the spot almost immediately after the alarm. The establishment was insured lor $21,100. The insurance will un- doubiedlv cover the actual loss. The budding belonged to the Godfrey estate, an I was insured for 2,500. It is in such a damaged condition that it will probably have to be taken down, and rebuilt be- fore it can again be occupied. satin aaucjrtiSiKcntfj. NOTICE.

JANUARF 1st, 1859 A Murderer Ltwched â€" Le Sueur, Dec. 23, 1858.â€" -About 10 o’clock on yesterday morning, a mob ol thirty or torty men, mostly hailing from Rice county, arrived at Lexington, and de- manded the keys of the prison in wIncu the murderer Reinhart was confined.â€" 'ihe efforts of the .'Sheriff and his Deputy to preserve the dignity ol the law were in vain, and the jad was soon opened. The poor wretch, inspired with the strength of a desperate mau, tore las right hand free, through a heavy gyvt ol iron, and seizing the leg of a cust iron stove, stood at bay with his face towards the door. Being a tall, muscular man, the lynchers, lor a while, dared ir«t enter. After a short consultation, they tore down ^he gable eud of the log jail, and assailed him in the rear. Finding all hopes ol resistance vain, Reinhart lost all heart, and fell upon the floor in a tit. Taking the senseless body in a sleigh, the whole party proceeded out ol the village, a mile and a half, and attaching a iope to lris»,.neck, threw it over a tree and hauled him up. The noose was not tight, and the lynchets lowered the body to adjust it more securely. Reinhart now came to hi* senses, sprang to his leet and earnestly asserted his perfect innocence ot the mur- dered Bodell. Seeing that their ea*s were closed against his entreaties, he changed his ton?, and declared his readi- ness lo die. At his request, a bystander was called on to pray, and after a short prayer the murderer was again hauled up. â€"Minnesota Statesman.

The Democratic Municipalities of Canada seem to understand the incidence of taxa- tion just as weil as the sovereign Row dies of New Vork themselves. The rates they levy on property are perfectly’ •normous. Take for an example, the town of Hamilton, from which its muni cipality extracts a rate of three and six- pence in the pound, calculated on the rack- rent. But turn to the democrat ically-el- ected Canadian Parliuiiient. The motto there is “Nothing for nothing,” and that member is most prized by his constituents who ran procure for them the largest share of public revenue. Thrice happy ^^^ays of Walpole, when an lion, member 'rfas content to take for his vote a consi- deration in hard cash, and so close tlip transaction1 Modern coriuption is mote expensive. Each municipality claims as the price of its support through its member of Jhe Government of the day the grant of a large amount of public money, or, at any rate, the loan of the public credit to guarantee what it may borrow. Thus the public revenue is bur- dened with heavy debts, and becoming inadequate, not for the legitimate ex- penses ot the Government, but for the process of bribing a whole community in detail with money rai>ed from it in the gross, which requires to be recruited by tbe imposition of new taxes.-"Leader, MARRIED.

There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in by boys, in solitudo, often growing up with them to manhood, and which, if hot reformed by them in due time, not only begets serious obstacles to matrimonial happiness, but gives rise to a series of protracted, insidious, and devastating affections.

(CONSIDERING ihe multiplicity of news* J papeis in Ainenca, it has to many been a matter of surprise that tbe numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented- To supply this desideratum, No. I, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August S, 1857. and is. low continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is fo fur- nish i;s readers regularly with the news of their nativo country. It presents a weekly re» cord of all events of interest occurring In Scot- land, and its subscribers are iu this way as fully in:o mod of what is transpiling at home as if they were in regular receipt of an old-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of tho leading parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. In the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will bo ap- preciated from whatever country they'emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. 'IVes, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen both at homo and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, the co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, has beoa socured- In politics, the Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from patty bias and national prejudice. In oi> der to ii terest its readers wherever situated, ir will take a broad view of topics of this class, hoiding thoso of a meroly local nature, except n so far as they may p;esent points of import- ance to the general public Questions involv- ing the interests of-British residents in-the United States and in the British Provinces, will be specially consideied, and it is believed that the information and news of the Journal 011 this impo tant class of subjects will be such as shall command attention. -uiv > The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and busii ess like manner, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence, l’he proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York and elsewherb, therefore'look With con- fidence for the support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co»- operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A publication estab’ished with these objects must of course look for support mainly from those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles ; but as the broad basis of this journal necessi - tates, in addition, the treatment of all imports ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear unentertainiti<r or profitless.
