In our last number we omitted to memtion a most diabolical attempt
which was made upon the house of Mr. George Trefry, at Jebogue. The
particulars, as far as we could learn, are these: -
On Saturday night the family of Mr. Trefry were aroused by the smell of
fire, and proceeded to search the house, in order to discover the cause;
but without success. About 2 o'clock , Mt. T. happening to open the front
door, discovered a maroon in his porch, but providentially the fire had
gone out within a few inches of the powder. It has evidently been formed
by a person acquainted with the business, being bound closely with twine,
and with broken pieces of crockery attached to the ends, and containing
about a pound and a half powder!! Had an explosion taken place,
particularly while the family were assembled in the entry, it is
impossible to say what the consequences might have been. As this is not
the first thing of the kind which has occured, it is time, we imagine,
that the perpetrators were looked after, and brought to condign punishment
- as the person who could be guilty of such an act, would as soon, it it
answered his purpose, make use of personal violence.
Lamentable Accident - On Sunday last four young men went out to sea in a boat from Jegoggin Bay; and though the weather was moderate, by some unfortunate occurrence, they all met with a watery grave. The boat came ashore two days afterwards near the Cove, but none of their bodies have yet been found. Their names were, John Corning, Dudley Porter, Robert Rose, and William Smith, an English seaman. W.C.W. will appear.

On the 26th June, at the residence of Colin Campbell, Esq., near St. Andrews, Hugh Henderson, a native of Argyleshire in the highlands of Scotland, in the hundred and fourth year of his age. Until the latter part of Febraury, he was in the habit of walking to town every week, and enjoyed uninterrupted good health and spirits. About that time he broke his leg by a fall on the ice, and, strange as it may appear, the bones reunited, and under the skillful management of Dr. Frye, a perfect cure was accomplished, in as short a time as could have been expected from a patient of any age. The shock, however, was too great for him, and he fell into a rapid decay. In his lucid moments hw was attended by the Rev. Mr. McLean, and appeared to derive great satisfaction in hearing chapters read from the Gaelic Testament, and was perfectly resigned to his fate. In early life he was an expert sailer, afterwards a good soldier, for the last fifty years a well behaved inhabitant of Charloette County, and always an honest man.
We have the melancholy duty to perform of recording the demise of William Harley, Esquire, aged 25, acting Sub-Collector of His Majesty's Customs at West Isles, which event took place at Campobello on Saturday the 5th inst. Mr. Harley went about his usual avocations on that day, and after taking a hearty dinner, walked to his office, a distance of a mile and a half. After the lapse of a few minutes, the servant heard the noise of violent reaching, and ran to Mr. Harley's room, where he was found in a dreadful state of suffering, and unable to speak - he was laid on a sofa, and a neighbouring gentleman was instantly sent for, who arrive in about a quarter of an hour, and made inquiry of Mr. Harley as to the nature of the attack, but he was only able to answer with a smile, and ere a second question could be put, he closed his eyes forever. His remains were removed to St. Andrews, and underwent a post mortem examination by Dr. Thompson, who, we understand, attributes his death to inflammation of the stomach. The young gentleman, who has been thumearly cut off, was of amiable disposition and had acquired the respect of all who knew him. He was son to William Harley, Esq., of Glasgow, the well known projector and proprietor of an immense establishment, embracing a public bakery, public dairy, baths and pleasure grounds, accounted an object worthy of being visited by every person of information and taste. - St. Andrews Standard.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR HARDING - We have to record the death of Professor
Harding, of the University of Gottinger; an eminent astronomer, whose name
will go down to posterity with the important discovery of the planet Juno,
which it was his good fortune to make in 1804. He was a descendant of a
highly respectable English Catholic family. One of his ancestors left
England on account of his religion and settled in Germany, where the
family afterwards became Protestants. He was born at Laurenburg, the
principal town of the then Hanoverian, now Danish duchy of Laurenburg, and
was originally intended for the church; but after his academical studies,
he became tutor to the son of the celebrated astronomer Schroter, and this
circumstance led him to the study of practical astronomy, to which he
afterwards exclusively devoted his whole life. After having been several
years astronomical assistant to Schroter, he accepted in 1805 a
Professorship of Astronomy at Gottingen, which he retained till his death.
Professor Harding was a most active and industrious practical astronomer,
whose observations have, in no small degree, enlarged knowledge of the
heavenly bodies. The grief at the loss of his daughter, an only child, 12
years old, who died last year, terminated his days on the 31st of August
last at the age of about 70 years. - London and Edinburgh Journal of
Science.
