that at present lumbering operations are almost completely at a stand still owing to a scarcity of snow.In many of the shanties in that district not only those engaged in hauling, bat also the choppers and square timber makers have suspended operations.Tho late, thaw which visited us during the last week was experienced with greater violence all along the Southern bank of tba Ottawa, and in many places the main roadways are completely denuded of snow, while in the Hastings road hauling on wheels has been resorted to.Hauling on the roads in the Madawaska region is being done in the same way.This interruption of lumbering operations, it is expected, will tend to diminish the production for the season, not only of square timber bat also of saw logs, nor is it thought that the recent snow fall will effect any beneficial change, as from places where the roads had been bare the light snow will have entirely drifted awav.While operations are thus impc«ted by a lick of snow on the South side, lumbermen on the North side of the Ottawa experience great difficulty in getting out timber owing to the roads being drifted up, in many places to a great depth ; while on the level the snow in the woods is at least five feet deep.The greatest difficulty is experienced in some localities in drawing supplies to the shanties, the hauling for the most part having to be done on wheels.A person travelling a few days since from Fort Eddy to the Mattawa, a distance of 10 miles, coanted the carcasses of no less than six horses on the route.These animals had all succumbed to the

are not in possession of the necessary particulars in connection therewith.From the meagre intelligence wired us from Montreal, the arrangement would appear to be adverse to the interests of the city of Quebec.^ a are informed, however, from private sources, that the scheme, as a whole, will be found of vast importance to this city, This remains to be seen.On the return of the Hon.Mr.Chapleau, we hope to obtain full particulars concerning the sale, and tho proposed running arrangements with the C.P.Railway.It is broadly hinted that one of tho stipulations in connection with the sale to the Syndicate is the building of the 3t.Charles branch of the Intercolonial Railway by the Federal Government.THE PUBLIC WORKS REPORT.The Public Works Department of Canada is one of the heaviest in the Dominion.It is very properly under tjie direction of Sir Hictor L.La-vokvin, Minister who has a passion for hard work of every description, and whose fine ad miaistrative capacity finds ample scope in the conduct of the afiaira belon the work of deepening has been carried on at St.Ours, St.Denis, Bokeil and the entrance of the Chambly Canal.At Bert hier Un.haut), the grant voted * has been expended in deepening, on the ^ enasse.Church and Leveque shoals, to afford vessels facilities for reaching tho wharf at Berthier.Dredging has been done at River L\u2019Assumption in order to deepen the channel, which is navigable only for vessels of lightdraught.At the close of the fiscal year, the construction of a wharf at the Cedar*, on the north shore of the St.Lawrence, 30 mile* from Montreal, was begun.At the rapids, River du Nord, which fall into the Ottawa at the head of the Lake of Two Mountains, a number of >culdera hate been removed.The chan- nel through this, has gained much space, being now 58 feet in width and 4$ feet in depth, at low water.Dredging has been continued at Salmon River, which fall* into the Ottawa from tho North.A depth of six feet at low water will result from this work when completed.Tho Dipper Dredges in uso in tho Province of Quebec are The Queen of Canada, with two scows and one lifter, and Tht Sipissiny, and two scows, and the steam tug Dennù.Tho first-named dredge was employed at Baver a la Graisse, Grant's Point, Salmon River and Beauharnois.It removed a total of 33,785 cubic yards of material.The Nipiiting was employed at Berthier (en haut) and at the close of tho fiscal year had removed a total of 21,524 cubic yards of material on the Vonasse» Church and Leveque shoals.The Government slides were constructed to facilitate the floating of timber in places where nature offered obstacles to navigation.The districts where the cutting of timber is carried on, and where the Government has caused works to be constructed, are situated on the Rivers Saguenay, St.Maurice, Ottawa and Trent, on Georgian Bay and on some tributary rivers.The works on the River Saguenay consist of one slide of 5,840 feet in length, with a boom of 1,344 feet, and dams, piers and bulkhead.The slide was constructed to avoid tho Rapids between Lake St John and the River Saguenay.The works extend over a distance of 60 miles and are constructed on La Petite Déchargé, the lesser of the two overflowing streams from Lake St.John.Of the slide 570 feet have been re-constructed, and to 4,390 feet considerable repairs have been made.The slides and booms on the river St.Maurice and the Vermilion, one of Its tributaries, are met in the order following :\u2014 Distance from Stations.\tThree Rivers.Booms at mouth of river.\t0\tmiles.Or** Falls.£6\t\u201c Shawenogan Falls.23 Grand Mere Falla.29 Little Piles Falls.3U La Tuque Falls.100\t\u201c Plamondon Eddy.\t106 River Vermilion :\u2014 Mouth of River.H6 Iroquois Fall».131 The water was very low last spring in the River St.Maurice and its tributaries, and of 300,000 logs got out during last year, only 60,000 could be brought down.The pay of the staff and the cost of maintenance amounted to $14,699,14 during the year.\t- Considerable space is given in the report to the telegraph and light service.Since the 1st of January, 1881, the Government have owned 430 miles of telegraphic lines and 16 knots of submarine cables, purchased from the \u201cWestern Uniou Telegraph Company.\" These are all situated in British Columbia, and are of three-fold advantage.1st.The Government has no longer to pay the aubaidy of $4,000 to the company, nor tho annual sum of $2,500 for the maintenance of the line which traverses Washington Territory, nor lastly, a sum (*f nearly $6,000 per annum for the maintenance and repair* of the six sub-marine cables, via 8t.Juan Island.2nd.The same company pays $1,200 per annum for services rendered at the Relay Station of New Wostminate*, and collect* all the.receipts at the Victoria Station, representing about $1,000 per annum.3rd.The Government and the public profit by a reduction of about $5,000 on the charge for despatches.In British Columbia there are now about 676 miles of telegra phic lines and 36*knots of double submarine cables.Tho receipts from these lines and cables which in 1878-79 amounted to only $5,320, will, in 1881-82, probably reach $18,000 or $20,000,\u2014-quite a material increase.In the Gulf of St.Lawrence the sub marine cables between the Island of Anti' costi and the coast of Gaspe, and the Mag dalen Islands and Cape Breton, have worked well.The Bird Rock cable has three times experienced some damage, but it ha* been repaired, and a very stout cable ia always kept in reserve to meet any injuries which may arise.During the year line of 214 miles on the Island of Anticost1 haa been completed, a line of 84 n^iea on the Magdalen Islands, and further a cable of 9 miles in length, between Etang-du Nord and ^louse Harbour.It is gratify1 ing to learn that all these important works have cost 12£ per cent less than the esti mates made for them.W e quote from the report these suggestions of the Hon.Dr Fortin, whoso untiring zeal and energy in the interests of Quebec, are well known and appreciated in this district :\u2014 \u201cThe Honorable Mr.Fortin, who asked for the creation of this telegraphic system, suggests that it should be extended on the north shore as far as Forteau Bay, in tho Straits of Belle Isle, or rather .as far as Pointe Amour, situate on the east side of tho bay, and upoi* which there is a lighthouse and alarm whistle.The recommendation is suggested by the fact that steamships and sailing vessels which frequent the River St.Lawrence all pass through the Straits of Belle Isle.Forteau Bay, which is always accessible, will also be Included in the telegraphic system of Canada middlo of October, 1881, the 1,500 foot wharf was completed, oulv 17 months have been occupied in working at this enormous I structure ; and the first portion has boen almost perfected.With regard to the graving dock of St.Joseph de Levi*, the Minister adds : \u201cParliament voted $500,000 for tho construction of this dock.This sum has be n expended, saving a balance of $o2,393.08.Nothing more remains to be done except the extra works at the entry, considered necessary, and the placing in position oî tho boilers and the travelling caisson.Air Piuokotok\u2019s repo.t says :\u2014 \u201cTho total contract sum under contracts so far accepted for tho graving dock at bt.Joseph do Luvia fully equipped, including the builder\u2019s contract, machinery, caisson, Ac., complete, amounts to $393,320.16.\u201cTo this ha* to bo added engineering expenses $21,243.68, and sundries 817,432.-12, making a total of $437,10) 92, after allowing for a deduction of $6,158.22, being the difference in cost according ta the schedule of rates between the circular head as now adopted and the second entrance at head.\u201cBut to this sum of $437,606.92, has still to be added the cost of 3 boiler*, fitting up and placing the caishon in position, further engineering charges and the extras to entrance works as recently ordered and approved by Government.The amount voted by Par\u2019iarcent for the construction of this dock was $500,000, of which there remains a balance of $62,-393.08, available for those purposes.The distribution of this balance would be proximately made as follows : 1.\tExtra works at entrance.\t$C0,000 00 2.\tBoilers.4,500\t00 3.\tFixing up and

unappropriated balance of 8262,058.40 at that date.The works executed during the last fiscal year include the coftèiÿiam, bringing the east and west wing walls to coping level, the completion of tho upper end or head of the dock excavation down to grade, trenching for the arterial drains and concreting to tho under surface of the dock floor fora length of 210 feet.During the previous^year the cofferdam was commenced, the wing walls nearly completed, 30,000 cubic yards of excava tion in the dock pit were removed and the greater part of the ashlar work for the dock proper cut, and 45,000 cubic yaVds delivered oy the North Shore Railway.The travelling caisson was completed in England by Messrs.Wigham, Richardson & Co., of Newcastle, and shipped to Quebec, where it was received in good order and placed under shedding for protection during winter, ready for completion when the works are sufficiently advanced.Tho pumping machinery under contract with Messrs.Carrier, Laine & Co., is making satisfactory progress.The work yet remaining to be done includes the further complete excavation of the dock pit and entrance work#, tho construction of the main pumps and drainage well with discharging culverts, tho completion of the masonry of the dock and en-gin© house, caisson chamber and entrance' culverts, and the fixing in place of the boilers, machinery, caisson, pumps, engines and gearing.Tho masonry completed at the head of the dock and for 180 feet in length of the side walls, altars, stairs and timber slide* givo every indication that the gracing dock when finished will bo a success, fulfilling all the needful conditions for the repair of largo ocean-going steamers, so long felt to bo necessary in the port of Quebec.\" Tho operations of tho Lifting Barge arc enumerated.At tho shoal called \u201cFly Bank,\" 96 rocks, weighing 19 tons were lifted.Adding those figures to the nuir.ber and weighty of the rocks lifted during the past year, from the same place, there results a total of 610 rocks, representing a weight of 1,957 tons.The Harbour Commissioners recommend that the Government should obtain a vote A $12,000 in order to repair tho barge, and continue these clearing out operations, energetically.The Hon.Dr.Fortin, with hi* usual foresight, recommends the construction of breakwaters at various points on tho ccast of Gaspe, with a view to facilitating tho working of the sea fisheries.Tho following table, showing tho dates of the opening and closing of navigation at the most important points in Quebec Province, will be found useful for

Mutual Telegraph Company, praying for an act of incorporation.From n statement brought down by Sir L.Tilley to-day, it appears that tho percentage of cost of maintaining Government savings banks for the last three years was : 1879, 50 per eont.; 1880, 41 per cent ; 1881, 31 per cent.The Ministers\u2019 petition in favor of tho Deceased Wife\u2019s Sister\u2019s Bill, presented by Mr.Girouard

Canada in Parliament assembled.Your petitioners pray that all prohibitions of marriage with tho sister of a deceased wifo bo repealed.Please add my name to the above petition.\u201d Then follows the signatures of tho Minister with tho ad dress.Hon.Mr.Chapleau and other members of the Quebec Government had an interview with the Ministry this morning with reference to the forry from Quebec to Levis and the branch line from St.Charles to Levis.It is understood tho Dominion Government is more disposed to favorably entertain the proposition to buiidi the twelve-mile extension of tho L C.- R.into Levis than it waa somo time ago.The Quebec deputation pointed out that the cost of the extension had been over estimated ; tbo cost would probably not exceed $400,000, instead of half a million os previously estimated.This would involve an interest change of $16,000 per annum, and it was pointed out that tho Quebec Central Railway would be willing to pay $10,000 a year for running power* over the road, which would reduce the expenses to tho Government to $6,000 per annum, from which must be deducted the saving in hauling over tho 12 miles instead of 22.I understand that no definito promise was made, but that the matter will receive serious consideration at the hauls of tho Dominion Government.In the Extra Soft FioUh «pecially aaaptad for Sewing Machiue*.\u201cSHEETINGS,\u201d BtaM,

the shortest way to transmit to anada, by steamship, the news from Europe, which would give an incontestible superiority to the Canadian lines, and would be of enormous advantage to our fishing stations.\u201cThe Honorable Ml\u2019.Fortin further recommends that the telegraphic system be extended to the shores of our great lakes by means of telegraph and signal stations.These recommendations are warmly supported by tho representatives of the principal Marine Assurance Companies, by the Boards of Trade of Montreal, Quebec and Levis, bj General Hazen, Director General for the Signal Service in tho Army of the United States, and by the Consul for Sweden and Norway at Quebec.Norway and Sweden possess a similar system very complete in its organization.\u2019 Baie St.Paul has been connected with Chicoutimi by a telegraph line of 92 miles long, and Murray Bay with Mille Vaches by a line of eighty-four miles.The Saguenay river is crossed by a cable of special construction, being one knot in length.With regard to tho signal service, it is stated, that two very simple semaphores havo boon erected, the one on the Brandy Pots and the other at River du Loup Un 6a*;.They are visible at a distance of from seven to eight nautical miles.The code of signals has been sent to twenty stations in the River and Gulf of St.Lawrence.The telephone will soon he employed, it is thought, throughout the public service.A paragraph is devoted to the Quebec Harbour Improvements.The sum paid to the contractors for those works, has reached $653,621.69.During the now fiscal year the piling and

what is known as the Potomac quarter of Detroit, last evening, under circumstances that bring grief and shame to an old and honoured family.The scene oi the affair was the saloon of Charles McAuley, Franklin-street.About nine o\u2019clock last evening Theodore S.Patton, son of Justice John Patton, entered the saloon and invited three men who were present to drink.This at least is the story told by McAuley.The names of the two men are Charles -Scanlon and Henry Elsey.The name of the tljird McAuley says he does not know.The latter asked what they would have.Elsey, Scanlon, and Patton said pop.The third man sat iu a crouching position with his head leaning on a chair and made no response to Patton, nor did he pay any attention to his invitation.Patton grew incensed at the stranger\u2019s silence and, McAuley says, walked deliberately up and gave him a terrible slap in the face, remarking, \u201cIf you arc too damned high-toned to drink, take that.,\u201d Suiting the action to the words Patton drew a revolver, and the stranger, so-called, drew his with unusaal quickness and tired.Patton cried.\u201cYou have done me up,\u201d staggered again*': the wooden partition of the bar-room, and slowly sank to the floor with his revolver in his hand.McAuley says when he saw Patton draw his revolver, knowing his desperate character, he dodged down behind the counter, and did not rise to a standing position until he heard the shot ami felt sure the danger was past.He then went over to the wounded man and took his revolver and asked him some questions, but he either could not or would not speak.Officer John Hogan, who was across the street, also heard the report and ran over to the saloon.He says McAuley had the revolver in his band when lie went in.McAuley, as soon as Hogan came in, ran to O\u2019Keefe\u2019s saloon, on the corner of Franklin and Beaubien streets, and said a man was shot in bis place.John Mc-, Cormick, who was present, ran to Drs.Bode-mau and Monaghan, near by, and summoned them to the scene of the shooting.McAuley returned to his saloon, but PATTON WAS DEAD.He did not live more than five minutes after4ie was shot, and died without a word.Elsey, Scanlon, Wm.Paton, Chas.McAuley and his wife, and two inmates of the place, named Ida Stewart and Bessie Brown, wrere arrested and taken to Woodbridge-strcet Station, with exception of Scanlon and Elsey, who were released.Scanlon was subsequently rearrested and locked up at the Gratiot-avenue Station.The officers were searching for Elsey at an early hour this morning.The third man, whomMcAuloy claims shot Patton, is still at large.A reporter visited the scene of the shooting soon after it occurred, and found the dead man STRETCHED ON HIS BACK on the floor of the saloon, with all his clothes on with the exception of his coat and west.A newspaper was spread over his face.The wound was examined and found to bo about two and a half inches below and to the right of the left nipple.But little blood was visible, the wound having bled internally.The ball undoubtedly passed through the heart.Coroner Carrier- was telegraphed for and promptly appeared upon the spot.He empan-nelled a jury and adjourned the inquest until seven o\u2019clock on Monday evening, THE DEAD MAN*» RECORD.Patton was about thirty years of age.He was the black sheep of a large family of respectable children.He commenced at an early age to be irregular in his habits, and gave his parents much trouble.His father, some years ago, rent him to sea on board of a whaler, thinking the discipline would tame him.He remained away some years, but his habits were of the worst description, and his associates equally bad.He consorted with thieves, and soon became known os one of the most daring, desperate, and successful in the West.Of late he was known to be in Chicago, where he was a member of a gang of professional thieves, and he was considered one of the best of the craft.He returned to Detroit about six weeks ago, but kept clear of the authorities.He occasionally made trips out of the city, but where he went is not known.He was drinking considerably yesterday, and those that were with him say he was under the influence of liquor last night wlien shot.He woo fairly educated and a handsome young man.Probabilities for the Next 24 Hours for the St.Lawrence, ete.,

not tuber culous or hopelessly affected), colds, laryngitis, and diseases of a scrofulous origin.While it does not cure Consumption, is the most reliable means of defence against that dreadful scourge.The invigorating properties of the hypophosphites reimburse the system débilitât ed by the constant wear and tear of a cough, while the paroxysms rapidly diminish in vio lonco, in consequence of tho soothing emollient action of the cod liver oil upon the inflamed lung membrane.The phosphorous, lime and soda, in combination with it, are all natural comivmer.ts in tho construction of the
