NEWCASTLE, January 11. Quite an excitement prevailed yesterday in our niually quiet little village, through the elopement of the daughter ofa very res- pectable lady with an apprentice employed in the agricultural works of H. A. Massey. It appears the union was objected to by the mother of the fair damsel, and to put mat- ters beyond dispute the young couple drove quietly to Orono on Saturday evening, when the two lovingr hearts were united. Upon the whole, the all'alr was very cleverly managed; the mother being entertained by a friend, engaged for the occasion. while‘ the daughter was pnssing large quantities ofi dry goods through an up stairs window, whence they were removed by other friends.

The quiet into which our town was re- laspingr after the elections, was suddenly broken up last evening, by the report that one of the most daring robberies that had ever happened in this vicinity took place in the St. Uatherines’ agency of the Bank of Montieal, and fabulous amounts were men- tionedin connection with it. The following appears to be the circumstances of the case, as can be judged from the traces left 0ft he robbery :~â€"â€"Between the hours of nine and ten last night, some parties, by means of a false key, entered the bank. Their atten- tion was immediately given to the safe, to the outside door of which they appear to have had a key. Nitro-glycerine, it is sup- posed, was then applied to the lock of the inner door. Before the explosi0n.tl10 outer door of the safe was closed, so as to deaden the report in agreat measure. The explosion appears to have scattered the gold, of which there wasiquile a quantity, over the floor. rl‘he robbers, oowcver, paid but little attenv tron to this coin, as they seized some fifty thatsand dollars in bills, which the safe contained, and then quickly made their escape. A boy named Kerrigan, who sleeps in the bank, came in about ten o’clock; and on perceiving the gold and debris of the explosion lying around, quickly gave the alarm, and the building was soon tilled with a surging crowd. The whole alt'air appeared to be the work of professional robbers, and was managed throughout wiih a most con- summate carct'ulness. Nothing was left which could implicate the robbers. Thls morning the excitement around the bank reached high point; but those who were curious were unable to obtain anything in addition to what is already known. i’J‘he Court then adjourned fintil ten o’clock this morning. The Grand Jury brought in two true bills against Jane \Vood forlarceny and receiving. The jury brought in a verdict for the de‘ fondant. This Court met in the Court House at noon yesterday, the Hon.

The defendant was charged with having used with respect to the plaintiff the words, " He committed a rape and had to fly .to the States for it.” Hiram White, a son of the defendant, was called as witness for the prosecution, and de- posed that words to the above eil'ect had been used by the defendant. It was con- tended ou behalf of the defendant that the words attributed to her were not used in malice. 1n addressmg the Grand Jury, Justice Morrison said, that he had great pleasure in informing them that the criminal calendar on the present occasion was exceedingly light, the only case on it, being that of the man Miller for Larceny, and that of a per- son namcd Harrington, committed yesterday morning for the same offence. Miller was the only person in custody when his Lordship opened the City Assizes three weeks ago, and consequently the only prisoner commit- ted since then was Harrington. With regard to Miller’s case, it was a very serious one, though lately placed on the same footing as ordinary larceny cases, it was for the crime of robbing a churchâ€"a crime which merited severe punishment. The other case was one in which the prisoner was charged with rob- bing a hen-roost. It was a matter of con- gratulation that there was nothing else of importance to occupy the attention of the jury. His Lordship referred to the fact, that by a new Act, to take effect on the lat of February,the city and the county would again be united, in consequence of which there will be, in future, only one Court of Assize for the city and county, and the jurors will be selected from them jointly. The expec- tation ofthe Government was,that in making this arrangement, it would save expense and trouble. His Lordship hoped that this ex- pectation would be realized to its fullest ex- tent. One of the duties of the Grand Jury wouid be to pay a visit to the gaol. These visits, His Lordship stated, were of impor- tance in creating a greater vigilance and care on the part of officials, than would prevail without them. BANK OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA VS. WATSON.

Board, consisting of lhe County Superintendent, the Chairman of the Public 01' High School Board, and the Head Master of the High School.’ While we acknowledge the necessity for a change in the mode of examining pupils for entrance into the High Schools, it is feared that the one proposed in the present Bill may act prejudicially to these Schools, by placing the examination solely in the power of an official who is chiefly interested in another class ofSchools. By making the County Superintendent a. member at” the Board, the interests of the Common Schools will be guarded; and by the admission of the High School Master, those of the High Schools; while the Chairman of the Public School Board will be one who will have at heart the welfare of the Common and High Schools. ‘ " Proposed Amendment.â€"~That the word ‘four,’ in the fourth line of Section 9, be changed to ‘threé,’ and the wow ‘seventy,’ in the seventh, .to ‘sixty.’ SALE or LANDS FOR Tumsâ€"The sale commenced on Tuesday by Mr. J.

From the evidence it appears that the mother of the child, Mary Anne Wright, about two week ago, entered in the capacity of servant upon an engagement in a boarding‘house in Alina Terrace, Richmond St. Judging from her appearance the mistress of the house charged her with being enciente _; but this she persistently denied. Sunday morning. about eight o’clock, the mistress heating a noise in the kitchen went down and found the girl Wright placing a kettle on the stove. Seeing: some unusual marks on the floor, she enquired what had been the mat- ter. To this Wright replied that she had been sick, but on returning a few moments, afterwards, her mistress found her sitting’ on a chair insensible. She subsequently confessed to having had a miscarriage, about 1 5 o’clock a. m., but on Dr. Newcombe be- ing called in the body of a full grown child was found wrapped up neatly among the bed clothes, On examining the body the medical man found no marks of violence on t it, but the cord had been cut and sufficient hoemmorage had taken place to cause death. The girl denied that the child was born alive, butas a postmortem examination was necessary to decide this point, the inquest was adjourned. The inquest. was resumed at the appointed hour, when a report of a. postmortem examination of the body of the child was read by Dr. Newcombe and con- curred in by Dr. Barrack. The report showed that from the appearance of the lungs, thechild was born alive, and that the cutting of the umbilical cord must have preceded death; but how the child came by its death there was not sufficient data to indicate. The presnmptive evidence wast that it had been smothered. The Jury re- , turned a verdict to the efi'ect that “there' was no evidence before them to show the cause of the child’s death.” Probably the woman will be apprehended on the charge ‘ of “ concealment.”â€"â€"Globe of Tuesday.

He wants $4,500 for the first named property, and would sell the oth- er for $200. The wife of an Ottawa. tradesmnn was ar- rested lately, at the instance of her husband, in one of those houses that good women never visit. She was to have been publicly tried in the police court, but was not pro. dnced, another trial at home having been granted her. A fine light-bay colt, worth $100, strayed from Mr. David Senkins, Amaranth, on the 18111 of Dec. The carcase of the animal was found in a. well in Gal‘afmx a, the oflher 111:");qu explain thé road jobY and Wth he has heard Mr. Arnold did for me, and put his name to the rest of his com- munications. SIRIâ€"In your paper of' the 1st. inst, there was an article headed the “McNuir Job.” Your correspondent signs himâ€" self “Phosphorus.” He says “ would you be kind enough to ventilate Mr. MoNair’s roadjob 0n the second con.; for I have heard that he is so well pleased with What Mr. Arnold did for him dur- ing the past. year, &c.” If Phosophorus would explain about the road job, as 1 had no job on the road, and likewise explain what Mr. Arnold did for me, for I received noth- ing from Mr. Arnold, either direct 0": indirect. I hope, Mr. Editor, that Wilt}: 1st. Mr. Robert Marsh was elected Trustee in room of Mr. Sheppard, whose term expired. Mr. Sheppard served two terms] or six years, and I am informed gave good satisfaction. It is useless for you, or “any other man,” to try and keep Mr. Marsh out of office ; if he fails in one he tries another, and acts on the principle of “never say die.” 2nd. I did not thlnk the Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees met the Rev. Mr. Bredin‘s question in a manner satisfactory to the ratepayers. The question, if my memory serves me, was like this: “The income of the “ School is greater, and the expenditure “less for the year 1868 than that of the “year previous, yet the school tax has “been much more.” I am not satisfied with the explanation, if it may be termâ€" ed sueh, and I think it is the duty of the Board to answer the question to the to the satisfaction of those who have to pgy. Let them obtain informa- tion from the Township .Clerk to enable the Treasurer to figure the assessment up, and if they have to expend fifty or seventy-five cents in that way, I look upâ€"l on it as well spent money. Let there be light given upon this matter, which is clear as mud at present. Brd. I was charmed with Dr. Dunâ€" comb’s speech on the village pump ques- t10n; he is opposed to spending $200 of School funds on a well and pump; so was the newly elected Trusteeâ€"so am I. I was surprised to see how indiffer- ent the audience appeared to be to the eloquence of the Docmr, and the Witty and pointed Yemarks of Mr. Crawford, â€"both men of substance. SIR :â€"â€"I do not often trouble you with a communication, but as I feel interested in school matters; but as it is the season when Trustees come before the publicâ€" to render an account of their stewart- shipâ€"I am induced to oifer a few re- marks upon the proceedings of Wednes- day last, at the annual meeting.
