of the Caledonia, Mr.being suspected that they were not even David Brown, Mr.Robert Gardner, - r.Thomas Brown and Mr.W.McGibbon, Skip; and of McLeod, Mr ,>«S«S»ïî.-tS'CO~3e.>* main after the hair has been properly prepared.But how vain are such declarations hi view of the experience of \u201cPaterfamilias,\u201d who says that about three months ago his two daughters were unspeakably shocked and surprised by the discovery of pediculi in their hair in myriads.No possible cause could be assigned for the terrible visitation.His daughters wore artificial chignons, but these were so far from ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE MONTREAL HERALD.On several previous occasions we have printed illustrated numbers of the MON TREAT, HERALD, for the purpose of exhibiting, from time to time, the general advance of the City, as manifested by the increase and importance of its public and private edifices, and by the improvement of architectural taste in the community.A wider step than has ever been made before, has been taken in this department of progress, since the issue of our last figured sheet, and we have, therefore, determined to publish another ILLUSTRATED HERALD, in order to bring our engraved expositions of the character of the City up to the present date.We believe it will be found that the improvement in the size and character of the wood cuts in this number will have kept pace with the advance in extent and beauty of the City, of which they portray some of the newest and best buildings.Such a sheet, besides its uses among ourselves, as a work of art, will be \u2014as we have reason to know that our former engravings have been\u2014a most valuable means of conveying, to persons at a distance, a true and adequate idea of the wealth and spirit of our citizens, and those circumstances which are likely to determine strangers to seek a home here.No written description can convey an impression equal to these pictorial representations.The ILLUSTRATED HERALD will appear early next week, and will be printed on a double sheet of fine paper, manufactured expressly for the purpose.The first page will be occupied by a large and fine engraving of St.Paul\u2019s Church, now being built on Dorchester Street ; and of the New St.Patrick\u2019s Hall, now being built on Victoria Square.The second page will have a beautiful cut of the North British & Mercantile Insurance Office, at the corner of St.François Xavier and Hospital Streets ; an artistic copy of the statuary for the Pediment of the Montreal Bank, which conies from the chisel of the renowned sculptor, Steele, of Edinburgh ; and large engravings of the block of buildings erected by J.& T.Caverhill in Notre Dame Street, and by Mr .Thomas Tiffin at the corner of St.Peter and Notre Dame Streets.The thira page will be filled by a representation\u2014a foot square\u2014of the splendid stores blonging to Messrs.J.& T.Caver-iiill, in St.Peter Street ; of Mr.Joseph Tiffin\u2019s new building in Great St.James Street; and of Mr.B.Gibb\u2019s new building in Notre Dame Street.On the fourth page will appear, the new buildings of the Merchants\u2019 Bank, at the corner of Notre Dame Street and the Place d\u2019Armes; the store of Messrs.H.& H.Merrill, in Notre Dame Street; Messrs.Mum\u2019s new block, at the corner of Place d\u2019Armes and Notre Dame Street ; and Mr.Chas.Alexander\u2019s buildings in the same street.The double sheet will contain a letter-press description of the engravings ; a list of the new buildings, of all sorts, erected in Montreal during the year ; and a short general review of the progress of the city.The ILLUSTRATED HERALD will present an excellent opportunity to advertisers, as the issue will be very large, and the price will be fixed- at a reasonable rate.A great part of the available space has already been taken up ; and, therefore, those who desire to make use of the remainder for purposes of publicity, should apply without delay, in order to prevent disappointment.The following are the terms of advertising in this edition :\u2014 One Square of 20 lines, close,.\t.$8.4)© Two \u201c\t\u201c 40\t\u201c\t.fS.OO Quarter Column,\t\t Half Column,\t\t Three-quarter Column\t\t.S2.ÏI0 One Column,\t\t\t\t PEMIMY, WSLSON\td 0 SS \u201cNorth American,\u201d from Liverpool to Portland 28th Î eb : Lieut Colonel Sir Henry Ilavelo k ;

se enty-eight circles were represented in the organization.President Roberts was introduced and spoke two hours on the present organization, its past record, and its future prospects, gjring a minute dispositicn f>f eil moneys received at iiead.-quaiters.After the appointment of business committees, the convention adjourned until JO o\u2019clock to-morrow morning.The foliowiog correspondence, by telegraph, was received by the Convention : ¦\u2014 \u201c New York, March 12th \u2014To Colonel W.E Roberts, Chicago : A deputation of centres,repre-3 nting Ireland, England and Scotland, «.quest your immediate co-operation.Answer yes or no Publish your ideas immediately.(Signed), J, J Geary \u201d \u201c Chicago, March 12th \u2014To J.J.Geary, New .York: -Your despatch receivtd.Do I und r-stand you, that the representatives of the J.R 13 , from Ireland, England, and Scotland, n w in America, agree to unite with us for the purpose of giving aid to the men said to be in revolution in Ireland ?If so, as President ol the Fenian Brotherhood, ana speaking on behalfof that organization while holding ourselves irre sponsible for the results of what 1 fear is a premature and ill-prepared movement, nevertheless we will render all the aid in our power to cur brothers in the field, our objective point is Ireland, We labor for Ireland, and we will strike for Ii eland.(Signed), W R.Roberts, Pres \u201d examined.In adopting remedial measures they were laid aside, and some fancy having induced his daughters to wear their hair in a different style they have not since been troubled.The obnoxious chignons have since been carefully burnt.The unpleasant discovery had such an effect upon one of his daughters that it caused a severe attack of nervous fever, and utterly prostrated her for nearly six weeks ; indeed, at one period her life was despaired of by the medical man in attendance.The testimony of \u201cThe Father of a Family\u201d is even more direct against the offensive article.He says that his youngest daughter recently purchased c chignon, which she had only worn for about a week when she experienced such uncomfortable sensations in her head that his wife insisted upon examining it.She found the poor girl was literally swarming with truly dreadful insects, that could only have been derived from the chignon, which was ruthlessly destroyed.Many\u2019 other horrid stories are told of these things, great and small, whose discovery has lately given rise to so much disgust and real alarm amongst those who sail under borrowed plumage.The testimony of many witnesses certainly seems to be in favor of those who have lifted up their voices against the \u2014chignon.popbd all the clubs would have rinks in a more favourable loca lty before long.He thought that on such an occasion as this, they ought hot to forget to diink to the health of John Boyd, an old Caledonia member, as keen a curler as ever lived.[Cheers.) The health of tho Umpire, Mr, Denholme, was drunk with the greatest enthusiasim, and suitably respondet to.The toast of the \u201c Ladies\u201d was drank with all honour, and a variety of volunteer toasts were given, the meeting breaking up at an early hour, after spending a happy and pleasant evening.CITY COUNCIL.Alter some routine business.The Cisy council met last night, Councillor Brown,

arrangements contemplated by the Resolution adopted by the Joint meeting of the Finance and Road Committees in reference to the purchase of the City Plans, now held and being completed by Walter Shanley, Esq.After some conversation on removal of St.Anns\u2019 fish market, Alderman David moved, seconded by Alder man Rodden, that the Road Committee be authorized to communicate with the citizens in regard to the new lines to be braced on the new plans as well as the continuation and widening of the new streets which are to be made in the future, and that the notice be published for 2 weeks in two English and two French papers.The Council then adjourned.NOTES FROM THE CITY SURVEYOR\u2019S REPORT.SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE FOR I860.Micellaneous Items.$89.713 66 Eastward.3017.08 Centre.1.1.864 20

Company to forward Canadian freight from Portland to the Lower Provinces, an agreement having been come to with Mr.Hathaway to employ his steamers.In consequence, as it is stated, of want of boats, one of them having been lost, and from the others not possessing sufficient power, great irre gularities took place and the Company' were put to considerable loss as well as inconvenience.Intimation was, therefore, made to Mr.Hathaway that the agreement would be considered at an end unless the evils complained of were rectified.The delays still continuing the agreement was declared closed, and a contract was entered into with another firm to do the work.Mr.Hathway by the termination of the agreement believed himself to be aggrieved and made a claim against the Grand Trunk for damages Mr.Brydges, the Managing Director, who was on his way to Britain, arrived in Portland on Saturday morning by the regular passenger train, and was there all day.About'eleven at night while waiting in his car at the station for the arrival of the train with the mails and passengers for the steamer by which he intended sailing, a sheriff\u2019s officer presented himself, and took Mr Brydges into custody on a capias, issued at the instance of Mr.Hathaway, the object of making the arrest at that time of night, it was believed, being to prevent Mr.Brydges from getting bail, and so throwing him too late for the steamer.Bail, however, was got immediately, and there was, therefore, no detention.Whatever may be the merits of the dispute between Mr.Hathaway and the Grand Trunk, it is evident that Mr.Brydges cannot be held personally liable, and there is no doubt that Mr.Hathaway has put himself in a false position.It is stated, indeed, that an action for malicious arrest will at once be made, when of course the whole facts will be brought out.Fenian News.\u2014We print in other columns a batch of interesting Fenian news in relation to the late rising in Kerr)\u2019, &c.The outspoken language of the Catholic Bishop of Kerry shows that the Clergy are fully alive to the folly and madness of a movement which can have no other end than ruin to all those engaged in it.The Condemned Chignon.\u2014The developments which resulted from the examination of a chignon under a microscope, referred to in these columns a day or two since, have caused a tremendous excitement among those who were heretofore admirers and followers of this singular fashion.Every new communication seems to increase the general terror and dismay.Some of those engaged in the discussion, still boldly assert that although \u201craw hair\u201d may possibly be infested with embryo insects, yet that after passing through a pro-per process, it is impossible to find any matters from which living creatures may be developed.But any feeling of satisfaction that might he encouraged by assurances of this character, is quickly lissipated by the letter of \" 3, Victim of Fashion,\u201d who submitted her head gear to such .a- practical test that- it was immediately sacrificed to the flames.Yhs story is graphically told.The lady got a microscope apd \u201cstared at the monsters'\u2019 in her chignon, Several

means of ascertaining more clearly the origin of some of the fires.Children with matches were the cause of 5 fires and 21 were iucenuiarp.Ot the houses in which fires occurred 25 were stores, 43 of brick and 52 of wood.The expenditure for the year has been Fire Department $15,092 26j ; Telegraph, $3,-500.561; Street Watering.$599.19; Building Inspector, $189 75J.Total, $19,381 77f.In the report on the watering of the streets Mr.Patton refers to the impropriety of the Fire Police watering the streets, and recommends that this be done by a department which should also clean the streets The report states that the streets which were begun .to be cleaned in the early part of last season were left untouched and the dirt allowed to accumulate.As-au evidence of the impropriety of combining the two duties of watering the streets and attending to fires the report shows that there were 34 alarms during the time the watering was going on which had to be attended to.There had been used in watering the streets 13,763,484 gallons ot water during the season which began on the 23d April and continued to the 25th October.CITY ITKMS \u2022 New Maple Sugar.\u2014Mr.W.V.Hall, 127 McGill

two ends, a single shot each.The third the Caledonia gained a double end.Up till lunch time the play was characterised by great equality, shot for shot being the order of the day, but after lunch the Caledouias drew ahead rapidly notwithstanding the determined struggle made by Buckingham.At two o\u2019clock the play terminated, the scores being Caledonia 35, Buckingham 18, majority for Caledonia 17, which added to 14 at Buckingham gave them a majority on the two rinks of 31.The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed ami the whole play was characterised by the greatest keenness and good humour.The Buckingham, although recently formed, has already distinguished itself having carried off two prints, one from the Stadacona, Quebec, and the*otber from the Ottawa Club at Ottawa.THE DINNER.In the evening the Caledonia Club entertained the members of the Buckingham in the Jacques Caitier Club, where a very beautifully served and substantial dinner had been prepared by Mr.Gilbert, the talented chef ot the Club.To those who know his abilities it is needless to say more.The President of the Caledonia.Club, Major A.A.Stevenson, occupied the chair, the Vice-Chairmen being Col.Ogiivie and Capt.McGibbon.When the cloth had been drawn the Chairman read letters of apoiogv from the Hon.John Young, President of the Canadian Branch of the Royal Caledonia Club, prevented by urgent engagements from attending, aud from Mr.H.McKay, President of the Montreal Curling club, and Mr.George S.Brush, President of the Thistle Club.The Chairman gave the usual loyal and patriotic 'toads, which wire drank with all the honours, and the Army, Navy, and Volunteers, which was replied to by Col.cgilvie who on rising was received vith applause.He said be ccuid speak confidently, that as fat as the Volunteers of Canada were concerned, no country in the world need be ashamed of them.He himself was unattached now.When in the active force he bad tried to do his duty, and never had more pleasure than when he was in command of the No 1 trocp, as he felt then as if he occupied a proud position.He felt that he ought to retire aud allow Major Smith to return thanks.Majoi Smith briefly returned thanks.He felt cert da that if called out the volunteers would do their duty.The Chairman gave His Worship the Mayor, and the Corporation of Montreal, in a few well chosen teims His Worship returned thanks.\u2019 He expressed his gratification qt receiving their confidence, especially as he saw round the table men of every nationality, English, Irish, Scotch, and Canadian.He was proud to be May or of such a city as Montreal, and to preside over such a body as the new Council was.He could assure them that no city on this continent stood in a better position than Montreal He gave some of the statistics of the City to skpw that the Water Works yielded 7 per cenr, the markets 8 per cent, and they had a sinking fbnd amounting to $405,000, so that whatever debt there was, was covered by real estate aud bank stock.There were many difficulties to be contended with by the Mayor and members of tjie Corporation.As Jo \u2019the yolufifeefs pf Ylcnfreal, tie might be looked upon as one of their best friends.(Applause.) Their conduct had called forth praise in ail quarters.It was now cer tain that the Drill Khed would be built during his Mayoralty aud it would be one worthy of the City and of the Volunteers.He was glad to see so many of th=ir friends from the country, although they had come only to be defeated, but the Caledonia Club, against which they had contended, was one not to be beaten.(Applause) The Caledonians, might have had some courtesy aud allowed themselves to be beaten, fiqt th^t \u2019.vga not a fault of which the Scotch are guilty.(Laughter.) He begged 10 propose a toast which he felt thev would drinfi with pleasure\u2014The health of the President and the Culedonign Cijrüng Clijb.The Chairman retqrnefi thanks, and said that if they were victorious now, it was not without many defeats in their eany years.This year, however, he might fairly claim that the Gamdonia was the champion club of Montreal, and it possessed many Who as curlers could not be besiten in Montreal, or Canada, or perhaps in the world, (applaqse.) Col.Ogilvie proposed the Royal Caledonia Curling Club.He felt as if kè might claim to.be a good cm 1er,since the other day he managed to beat the great Matthew Hutchison.(Laughter;, There was one point of vie» which might reçotniaeRd curling, that was the social equality' which was snown there, and much as he disliked democracy this was a good thing The Royal Caledonia Curling Club was the parent of ail the Curling Societies I\u2019he President yya?not here but qh able yepres eutative was present, Mr.George Denholme, Secretary.Mr.George Denholme said that all acknowledged the beneilis to curling caused by the Medals sent out from the old Club.It was a Scotch game that of curling, although becoming naturalised here, and it was well that these games of opr native country should be kept up as a tie between lis èmj the Mother Country.(Cheers ) The Chairman proposed the members of the Buckingham Curling Club.He was certain that among ail the Caledonia weip ever pitted against they had never contested with better men than those from Buckingham, aud to-day there had been a speiiment of (he men it could furnish althongh they had been placed at disadvantage,some of the plyaers not having practis ed for some time.They hafi come with a large score against them and came at great inconvenience to compete.(Applause.) It would be well if the Royal Caledonia Clqb could understand the distances curjers had to pome to meet one another here, their zeal and love for the game would then be better understood.(Applause ) He hoped that tL#/ might all meet again no] only as curlers but as friends.(Loud Applause.) Mr.W.D.Waddell returned thanks.The Buckingham was a small Club and at much inconvenience they had come down.They had only vet played four matches : out of these ibey had gained two.He had no wisn to boast, but he hoped some day to retrieve the laurels they had lost to-day.They intended to stick to the skirts of the Caledonia Club until they had made up what they had lost The treatment they received since their arrival in Montreal was such as would peyer be forgotten, but he hoped to reciprocate some day, amj to prove that Backwoodsmen were of such a nature that like true Britons they would not turned back for anything.(Applause.) They have been honoured by the presence of the Mayor of Montreal, a gentleman who was known throughout the country for his abilities.Mr.E- W Murray returned his thanks and expressed bis gratification at all that had been done for their comfort, even before they had left their humble village.Though defeated th-iy were uot dead yet.The worthy President had crowed nota little, (l aughter.) But they would put up with it, aud after their kind treatment did not feel as if they had been beaten at all.(Laughter ) He in a few suitable terms expressed bis sense of the benefits of curling.As it was drawing to the wee short hours ; he was not a Scotchman hut had read Bums, (laughter) he would again only express his hanks.Mr.Higginson aiso returned thanks in a few well selected terms.Col.Ogilvie proposed the sister clubs in Montreal.Mr.George Denholme returned thanks for the Montreal Club, aud said that one disadvantage they laboured under was, that many of the older members left on business at the beginning of winter, leasing the younger members to contend for the prizes.Though they had lately celebrated their sixtieth anniversary, he hoped they were not yet in a state of decrepitude.He felt that with all the Clubs there was the utmost cordiality and good feeling.Mr.Walketn for the Thistle Club returned thanks.He begged to say to the young members of the Caledonia that they Were requested to play a rink on Friday with the younger memb, vs of the Thistle nt either of the rinks.The Chairman ' proposed \u201c Keen Curlers all the world over.\u201d The Chrirman then proposed tlm Press, which was suitably responded to, Col.Ogiivie proposed the health oi a gentleman to whom it might be said the Caledonia Club owed its present existence.Last winter it was very shaky, but that gentleman said the Club must be kept .up, and in two months it was stronger than it had been for years.Had it not been for douce, honest, modest Kandy McGibbon there would In all likelihood have been no club ; nis exertions joined to the in-domltable perseverance of Kandy Stevgnson had save ¦ it.Hjfelttbat no man could refuse a flowing bumper to tbftt health.(Drunk enthusiastically.) Mr.A.McGibbon disclaimed al credit for the result stated.He could not see that he had the credit of this thing, he thcugkt it W-S (Iqa to another quarter, There wap a talk nbcut breaking jip and dividing tiie funds, hut the meeting ended by challenging the Champion Club of New York.(Great laugh-tai 1) He felt a grgftt interest in the p.qb as one of bis brothers had founded it, and for hjs sake 1:?always felt a warm side to it.His brother William made up for his deficiencies as a curler.Mr.Higginson proposed the Caledonia CJgb, in a few words [Drink with three timesihreé ) ! Tlhe Chairman returned thanks briefiy.He NEW BOOKS RECEIVED FROM DAWSON BROTHERS.Dixons New America ; Lippincott & Co.Hepwoth Dixon, the Editor of the London 1 thenœum, has made a journey through the United States, for the purpose of fitting himself to instruct his readers on the phases ot American life which he describes as new new alike in Ameriea and in Europe.Accordingly he passed some time on the extreme limit of the old civilization in Lea venworth and Denver ; made himself acquainted with the virtues and vices of that ent rgetic race of frontier men, who have in spite of their good will but about one woman to every ten of the masculine race, then passed on to the Mormons ; made the acquaintance of apostles and prophets, maids, wives and widows, and heard from the lips of the -Potentate called in a recent French biography Brigham junior, an opinion about marriage between brothers and sisters, which he was pledged not to de liver to the world.After this he lodged among the Shakers, who do not marry at all ; and then went to the other extreme and passed some time among a certain set, of self styled \u2019¦ Bible People\u201d among whom every body is married to everybody else of opposite sex.We scarcely think there is quite iio much of importance as he supposes in all these strange eccentricities of belief and conduct: but his account of the facts is interesting and fair.However contrary to his own views the principles which guide these strangecommunities, Mr.Dixon sees a great deal of practical good and happiness wrought out in each of them, and tells us the good with the bad.In general society too he has made inquires of a delicate kind, of yhi\u2019 \u201e iïé'gives the results discreetly; but truly, Without touching upon these we will copy as a specimen of the book a chapter on the four races VY\u2019tute men, black men, led men, yellow men^-all these chief types and colors of the human race\u2014have been drawn into company on the western soil, this middle continent, lying between China aud the Archipelago on the one side, Africa and Europe on the other, where they crowd and contest the ground under a common flag., The White Man, caring for neither frost nor lire, so long as he ¦ can win good food for bis mouth, fit clothing for his limbs, appears to be the master m every zone ; able to endure all 'Climates, to undertake all labours, to overcome all trials ; casting nets into the Bay of Fundy, cradling gold in the Sacramento valleys, raising dates aud lemons in Florida, trapping beavers in Oregon, raising herfjs of ktQe in Texas, gpiu.mug thread in Massachusetts, clearing woo is in Kansas, smelting iron in Pennsylvania, talking buncombe in Columbia, writing leaders in New York.He is a man of plastic genius, of enduring character ; equally at home am ng the palmtrees and the pines ; in every latitude the guide, the employer, and the king of all.The Black M q, a true child of the tropics, to whom warmth is like the breath of life, flees from those bleak fields of the north, in which the white man repairs his fibre aud renews his blood; preferring the swamps and savannahs Of the south, where, among palms, corton-piants, and sugar-canes, he' finds the rich colors in which hip eye delighfs, the qqnny beats in Which hig blood \u2018 expands.Freedom would not tempt him to go northward into frost and fog Even now, when Massachusetts and Connecticut tmept him by the offer of good wages, easy work, and sympathizing people, he will uot go to them.He only just endures New York ; the most hardy of his race will hardiy stay in Saratoga and Niagara beyond the summer months.Since the South has been made tree for Sam to live in, he has turned his back on the cold and friendly North, in search of a brighter home.Sitting in the ripe-field, by the cane-bpike, qiitier the mulberry-trees of his darling Alabahn, with his kerchief round his head, his banjo oh his knee, jhe is joyous as a bird, singing hig endlosp and loolihh rounçlelay, aud feeling ike squshjue burn Upon his face.1\u2019he negro 4 bfit a local fact in rbe country ;

the forts which the white men have built to protect their roads to San Francisco, like the Turkish block-houses built along the Syrian tracks, being mainly of use as a hint of their great reserve of power.The red men find it hard to lay down a tomahawk, to take up a hoe; some thousands only of them have yet done so ; some hundreds only have learned from the whites to drink gin ancl bitters, to lodge in frame-houses, to tear up the sod, to forget the chase, the war-dance,and the Great Spirit.The Yellow Man, generally a Chinese, often a Malay, sometimes a Pyak has beep drawn into the Pacific States from Asia, and from the Eastern Arcbipeiago, by the hot demand for labour, any kind of which comes in him as a boon.From digging to the mine, to cooking au omelette and ironing a shirt, he is equal to everything by which dollars can be gained.Of these y- low people therekare now sixty thousani jm Ca !

the difficulty found in extracting the ammunition case from the breech, the bursting, and non-explosion of some of the cartridge, is considered attributable to the imperfect t onstruction of the arms.The present blue undress Infantry frock-coat is to be abolished, und a neat patrol-jacket substituted for ir.The present garment is generally detested, and the change will be welcomed bv all ranks.The salary of Lieut.Gen.Sir Edward Lugard, K C.B., Permanent Under Secretary of State for war, is to be increased from £1,500 to £2,000 per annum.We call attention to the extensive sale of Raal Estate at Mr.Arnton\u2019s rooms this morning\u2019 The very valuable nroperty known as the \u201c Union Buildings,\u201d drawing a large rental, and in a most central aud eligible situation, forms part of the sale.Plan on view.Whooping-Cough,\u2014We would particularly recommend th-v^e of ! owns\u2019 Vegetable ü!'l samic hUixir for the cure of whooping cough.We areas-, red it is one oi the nest medicines for h\u2018S disease that can be procured cireat credit is due to the enterprising firm of Henry, Simpson & Co.for placing this valuable Cough Remedy with n the reach of all In cases of cough it is the best remedy we know, ^or sale evem where.Price 25 and 5 > cts per bottle.[ i m * vy 35] undress depends upon \u201cSOKE FEET.\u201d The illustrious member for South Simcoe, Brother Thomas It.Ferguson, was very badly treated at the Brampton dinner.When Brother Andrew Fleming was extolling his own loyalty and that of Brother John Hillyard Cami ron, he went out of his way to make a dreadful rap at Brother Ferguson.Wo quote from the Leaders report j \u2014 Aud he was glad to bo able to tell his \u201c hearers that the representative of Peel was \u201c not one ot those who had complained of get-\u201c ting their feet blistered when at the front \u201c (Loud cheers, laughter, and cries of \u201cThat's ^ hard on Simcoe Tom\u201d).Mr, Fleming resum-< ed bis seat amid loud applause.\u201d Brother Ferguson has good reason to complain of the cruelty of Brother Fleming.What a shame to show up Lieut Col.Ferguson, of the Simcoe Volunteers, in th$t way, and just at the very moment when with blistered feet 1 e is propG.-'ing to run two counties !
