INDEMNITY TO MEMBERS. (From the Globe.) On Monday evening the House of Assembly exhibited one ol those scenes, which in past sessions have sp scandalized the proceedings of Ibat body in the eyes oi the public. The chairman ol the Contingency Committee moved the adoption ol the report ol that Committee in fa- vour ol adding two dollais jnrcLem to the sessional payment oi mem- bers of Parliament, over and above the statutory rate ol lour dollar*? per day. The motion was met with cries of u carried, carried.”â€" Mr. Brown called on the Govern- ment to resist the motion, unless they desired it to pass. The mem- bers of the Government look per- plexed, and talk earnestly to each other, but do not rise. The SSpeakei puts the question, •* shall this motion pass”â€"Government still more per- plexedâ€"but no member rises.â€" Yeas and nays cailed forâ€"Ministe- rial perplexity, obviously increases. “The yeas will please to rise !”â€" ..says the Speakerâ€"but no Minister rises. The Clerk begins lo call the yeas, “ Archambault,” w Baby,” “ Beaubien,’ “ Caron,” “ Cimon,” &c.â€"Ministers intensely busy tak- ing down and counting the names. •The yeas are duly recorded, and it appears certain that the motion will be carried ;â€"then, and not till then, up riiies Mr. Alty. Gen. Cartier, with Mr. Atty Gen. Macdonald, Postmaster Smith, Board of W orks, Rose, Secretary Alleyn, anil Re- ceiver Sherwood sailing in his wake, and desirous that the names of Ministers may be recorded among the yeas ! The Inspector General, whose duty it is to protect the pub- lic money from such attacks, was not in his seat! The motion was of cour>e carriedâ€"43 to 26. The eH'ect of this vole is to add #30,009 to the expenditores of the yearâ€"and in the law ol' the accu- mulating embarrassments of the Province it is utterly inJelerisibie. All the great industrial iriierests ot the Province are in a slate of pros- tration ; the annual expenditure?* vastly exceed the annual revenue ; it will De absolutely necessary .o cut off every sixpence that can pos- sibly be saved ;â€"and yet the very men who must enforce this sweep- ing retrenchment begin ihe \vo;k by voting themselves t vo dollars pe# day extra, eor.t.ary to staiute, .and that in the shabbiest manner conceivableâ€"as a cuntiagmcy !â€" It this insane work is not speediiy stopped, ihe prospect before this countiy is lamentable indeed. MURDER BY A ME vJ BE LI OF CONGLIESS AT WASHINGTON. Washington, Feb. 27. The community was thrown into an in- tense excitement to-day by the killing ol Phillip Barton Kt-y, U.b. i»istiict Attor- ney for the District of Columbia, at the, hand* of Dani«l E. Sickles. According lo tbe repmt, Mr. Sickle t»> in ; convin- ced of the truth ol • ertain seandalou- rumours involving his wile, re>o'ved lo r*- dress bis wrongs. Al abuut - â-  *» i» ck thin attei noun, he proceeded i.on liwi evi- dence near the Piesid. ru’s house to ti.t south east corner of Laiuyclte S.ju;ire, in the same neighborhood, where. AL. Key was engaged in conversation with Mr. Butterwoith. oi‘N*w York, be •â- .barged Mr. Key with having dishonoured him and destroy< d ln» domestic peace, and shot hiui with a revolver. Out* of ih« balls entered the leit .*ide ol the body, im passed through to the cone*jif>iiding point in the opposite, lodging under the skin Another, shot took inicct in the right thigh, n*ar the main artery, when Mr Key fell, imploring Air. Stickles not to kill him. fihe third shot was in the rigli; side, glancing from the bjdy, inflictm only.a bruise. Death ensued in a leu minutes. The body was ta*en into tn National Ciuli Lion***. where a jury her an inquest. Alter an exammaiion ini the circumstances, of »om»* hours length, they returned a widict merely «tatii^. that the death ot Mr. Key was from tli« eflect of. pistol snots, »v above stated ftrpd rby Sickles. The premise* of th*- Club House were crowded with peopW antiouMy. enquiring into all the circuit.- stances of the event. Alter Mr. Sickle*, had killed Mr. Key, he repaired to the residence of Atty. Gen. Black, where In i*as advised to deliver himself into the hands of the officers, who subsequent!} conveyed him to jail. Narrow Escape.â€"Mr. Veiteh, the* Reeve ol Wool wish, had a narrow escape from death last week, lie was attending on a horse in Ids stable, when the an ma kicked at him, and struck him on the nost and forehead. Luckily, the distance pie rented the fu’l ell'ects ol tne blow, and Mr. Veitch, although almost insensible lor the time, has now nea.ly recovered lrom the accident.â€" Berlin Chronicle. A Parson reading the luneral service at the grave, lorgot Ihe sex of the de- ceased, and asked one of the mourners an Emerald-ir, ' * ts this a brother or a •ister ?’ * Neither,’ replied Pat, * only a cousin.’ THE NEWSPAPER. Rev. Henry Ward Biecher, thus speaks of the newspaper, the com- mon people's Encyclopedia : 4 In no other way can so much, so varied, so useful information be im- parted, and under circumstanees so favorable for educating the child’s mind, as through a j idieious, well conducted newspaper. * To live in a village, was once to be shut up and contracted. Bui now a man may be a hermit and vet a cosmopolite. He may live iu the lores!, walking miles to a post of- fice, having a mail but once a week, and yet he sh • >1 be found as fami- liar with the living world a# the busiest acior iu it. For the news- paper is a spy glass by which he iuings near the most distant things â€"a microscope, by whieh he leis- urely examines the most minute ob- jectsâ€"an car-lrumpei by which he collects and brings within his hear- ing all that is said and done all over the earthâ€"a museum full of liymg pictures ot real life, drawn not on canvass, but with printer's ink on paper. ‘The effect of liberalizing and enlarging the mind o( the you ;tr, ot this weekly commerce ivith the world, will be apparent to any one who will ponder it. Once, a liberal education could only be completed <<v foreign travels. The sons only ot the wealthy c uld indulge in thi# costly benefit. But now the poor man's son can learn a« much at home, as a hundred years ago n gentleman could learn bv journey- ing the world over. For while Miuie are some advantages in going into ihe world, it is the poor man’s privilege to have the world to come to see him.
