The Whipping of Doyle at Malifax Jail Affray
A detailed account describes the first use of a new punitive device on a civil prisoner in the maritime provinces. Amtrow Doyle, convicted last October of an assault on a six-year-old girl, endures twenty lashes on the bare back administered by a sailor from HMS Griffin in the jail yard. The procedure, witnessed by 21 people, included a metal triangle apparatus and a single sailor delivering each stroke with a fishing-line like whip, Doyle enduring through the punishment with feigned pain. Afterward, Doyle received medical care and the attending sailor earned a prize. The article also touches on Vermont farm fortunes and abandonment in the aftermath of economic shifts and population decline.

The subsoiled plot produced about one third more corn than shallow or only deep-plowed sections, with oats following showing heavier, greener growth. Deep mellow soil aids moisture movement and yield when drainage and manuring accompany plowing.
