but Monday morning it.was ruining hard, and continued doing ao uu til Wednesday.I can assure you I did not feel like writing, everything looked so wet and dirty, and many of us sick and gloomy ; but, notwith standing the rain, we fared very well in the tent, and had the satisfaction of knowing that it cost each twenty Kills per day, while others of our party who had gone to hotel* were pay ing $1, ?1 /.(> and $2 per day, and very poor acc introdation at that.The stow* here are very fine, and we can get anything we want of the best and most expensive kind, as well as cl tap and common.1 have not it* yet formed any decided plans for the future, but feel pretty \u2022\u2022< rtnin that my original plan, farming, will be tlu- best It is impossible to get a situation lu re, and I much regret to say that very many young fellows havecomewith that expectation, of course are much disappointed, and are going ha k again.We have been hunting rr.Fuller, and they said he was attending Mr, Long ;

was not over six or seven minutes in reaching Mrs.Meehan aft«r I heard the cry ; after reaching Mr*.Meehan saw no person about the bridge hut those I have mentioned ; I did not run an ay.Toa Juror- Do not know the names of any of those who wne at the concert hall ; had no conversation with the young men at the concert hall that night ; there were two night duty men, mycelf and sub-Constable Sylvester, and one day duty man for No.police station that night : the night duty men were all out ; was told that «Sergeant Glynn was on the station steps ami heatd the shooting ; the station i* rd out a quarter of a mile distant from tlu-Ccntre street concert hall and about half a mile from Wellington bridge;

a good many accompanied me part of the way ; wa* not molested until we g«t to the Wellington bridge; there were five n our party when we reached the bridge ; the names of the ti.e are Alexander Cowan, James Gardner, one whose name I did not know at the time, but who I afterward learned to lie Grr, and the other is probably Gould, whose name I have since seen in the paper ; thou- with myself constituted the I arty ; when we got to the middle of the bridge, lour of five men stepped up on our left baud ; a* we w» re iiacsing they said : ** where did you get so much hat ?\u201d We made no reply ;

he told nut that a man grasped him by the shirt, which he tore, and escaped ; at the end of the bridge them was a big crowd ; they were tiring at us ; one of them flashed a pistol in my face.The inquest was then adjourned until Monday uext, at 2 p.m.THE CAUG1INAWAGA TRAGEDY.The Coroner\u2019* inquest on the body of O/Ju* Meloche was continued yesterday.JEAN CANADIEN, sworn-Testified regarding the notice posted on the church door ; before itt tiubl I cation he heard it said in the village that Mr.Daw es, of Lachine.had said that if the agent did not exiiel the Canadian* that he w\u2019oul I liai e them expelled ; he did not know that chief t ought to be «eut to Ottawa, but he heard it said that a deputation should be sent ; this was iu the council held by the chiefs ; he was acquainted with Louis Monique, who was prisent at the assembly and Had a conversation with Mr.Cherrier the agent; did not understand the subject of their conversation ; Monique did not appear vexed that theCanadian* were not to be expelled ; I never thought the Canadians should be expelled lor they have never done me any harm ; the person who read the notice on the church door said that the names of the Canadians were written under, and that Meloche\u2019s name was the first on the list ; I heard that the decl ared had a quarrel with an Indian, but I never heard any threat made against him ; Francois Xavier Saontakiakon, farmer of Caugbnawaga, sworn\u2014I had no knowledge of the notices, a* I did not go to the church that Sunday.1 had a quarrel with the deceased, but I never offered any threat* against him.I only said that if the same difficulty arose again, h \u2022 w ould be beaten again.I have no knowledge 'of the origin of the tire.At tlie time of the fire I was at the house of one named Marie, a littl-w< st of the village, and I came with Marie toward the village, when I saw the fire.I heard it said by the young people that they had succeeded in driving the Canadian* away.Lot is Dominique,raftsman,of Caughnawaga, sworn Deceased was a friend of mine ; a most respectable man ; I wa* at home at the time of the fire at his house, aud f know nothing of its origin ; I have heard no threat* against the deceased : the flame* caught iu tuy outhouses, and I w .i* obliged t remain at home to protect myself ; deceased has rendered me services several times, and was very charitable to me this spring.I was lately at a Council meet-irg, and while I wa* speaking to Mr Cherrier, the agent, one of the Chief* named Louis Satekaitrenton asked Mr.Cherrier when the Canadian* would be sent away.The Canadians here are industrious and do no harm.I saw a notice on the church door, and I read part of it, It was threatening against the Canadians.There were several name* mentioned which I cannot recall.I believe the nanus of Faufinet and Edouard DeBlois were there.'J\u2019he answer of Mr.( Tierrier to the Chief was that he had not had a reply from the Department, I know Thomas Rice, the new Chief ; he has never «poken to me against the French-Canadians, imr have I to him.J.0UI8 Ska.newraTI, farmer, of Cauglinawaga, sworn : 1 wa* in bed at the time of the tire at Meloche\u2019* house, and I have no knowledge of its origin.T saw a notice on the garden gate of th-\u2022 hurch, but 1 do not know what it contaiue 1 as 1 could not read it.I wo* told that it c m-taim-d threat* against the Canadian*, it wa* 1 ot my sou that put up this notice.1 saw that this notice was torn, and believed that it had bien done by the wind.ROME REASONS WHY THE FENIANS SHOULD NOT INVADE CANADA.A* it is not impossible that some of the m ir-nckltsH \u201c Fenian\" leaders may think it best to stimulate the flow cf contributions into their treasury by a pretence of organizing such a movement, we desire simply to call attention 11 the views of the Boston Pitot\u2014n representative and influential Irish journal, and one which ha* the Interests and the Independence of Ireland warmly at heart.That journal states the following excellent reasons why the Irish in thi* country should not permit themselves to be led into such folly : First\u2014It would alienate the good will of American* and necessitate the interference of the United Slat.*» Government.Second\u2014 It would make all Canada a new and powerful enemy of Ireland and the Irish.Third\u2014It would save England from the dan-g r of Irish-American support for Ireland, in case the old country took a hand iu tlie fight.Fourth It would be a sure method of wasting the Fenian force of America in an expedition that would have to he suppressed by the United States Government.Fifth\u2014It would leave the Irish in Ireland to fight their, own battles, without that support from their brothers in America which would give them courage and strength.Sixth It would prove to all the world that the Irish revolutioni*ts were a thoughtless and rei kii ss crowd, unahle to steer a sensible course, and unworthy of a free nation.Iloston Journal.AUurioüb Question has arisen a* to Lord Rosebery\u2019s marriage.The Solicitor's Journal points out that if, after the marriage at tlie Registrar\u2019s, they were described in the parish register of the Episcopal Church,where the mar ringe was repeated, a* bachelor and spinster, there was a fabc entry.A nobleman wa* in dieted in 1850 for bal ing, on a similar re-mar-Wage with a lady,described himself osa widow.-r, and his wife a* a widow.But the Judge said it was difficult to say that it was \u201c wilfully and corruptly,\u2019\u2019and the jury \u201cfound a verdict of not guilty.The Lohh or tiik \u201cKoEYDICI.\u201d\u2014 flroad Am an concludes chat the suddenneh* of a squall un usual in its statical force, coupled with the ah-seuee of stores to ballast the vessel, was the Proximate cause of the loss of the \u201cEurydice.\" \u201cShe was in all particulars just such a «hip a* w as found iu our fleet* more than a generation ago, during the \u2018good old times,\u2019so often alluded to approvingly by na^al officers who went on half-pay almut the time the ironclads made their first appearance.\" Admiral Foley, who examined the wreck, found mainsail sheet* let go, a* well ns inaintopsail halyard*, starlxiard foretopsail thect, and starboard topgallant sheets let j>;

also, the collection of information regarding the varieties of fruits best adapted for cultivation in this Province, the holding of exhibitions nt M ontreal, and the publication of useful informaticn in the form of annual rejiortH.The seat of the affairs of the new Society was fixed at Montreal.The Society was made entitled to a grant not exceeding $1,000 per nnuum, on condition that its exhibitions be open to the whole Province, and that it make an Annual leport to tho Commissioner of Agriculture and Public Works : whereas, formerly, only residents on the Island of Montreal could compete at the Society\u2019s exhibitions.Under the new organization all persona living outside the Island of Montreal in the Province of Quebec would be entitled to compete for prizes by payment of an annual sulwicription of $1 rarh ; while residents on the island would still have to pay en annual fee of $2 for the privilege of competing.Any iiersou residing in this Province might now become a tnemlier of the bocietv on payment of $2 a year, and each member should have access to Society's library and receive admission tickets to tho exhibitions for himself and four others.On motion of Dr.Andkkh, seconded Mr.S.J.Lyman, it was unanimously resolved to re-organize the Society on this basis.There was a good deal of discussion over the choice of a name foe the new Society, the >ne at the head of thi' rejwrt being finally adopted, after that of \u201c The Montreal Horticultural and Pomologioal Society,' and other lirief names had been suggested Mid rejected.The old Hoard of Directors were elected for the new Society ss follows Messrs, J.D.Gibb, G.Cheney.James Morgan, jr., Hon.Louis Beaubien, Messrs Wm.Evans, John Doyle, Alex.Duff, T.McPherson and A.Sprigging*.It was moved by Mr.W.\\ UILB, seconded by Mr.R.Evans, that the by-laws of the Society be framed by the Directors, and afterward* submitted for the approval of the Society before l)«-iug submitted to the < iovernment.Carried.Tho Fruit Committee of last year were elected fur the current year as follows Messrs.R.W.Shepherd, jun., (Se.-retary.)

and this poor creature turned hi* hack en it all-to count his money.The man must have known he would die some day.The mf three to five wroka was given without milking.The heifer calves of these cows were all good milkers, and most of them kept up the supply \"f milk till nearly calving.Of such cows.1 \"need hardly say that the calves should all be raised, unless very evidently inferior.It costs little more to keep a good milking cow than a poor one.i ho difference in product is sometimes enough in a single year to Iy tlic price of a gissl cow, rather than to ne* c,-pt a pr milker ns 11 gift.I he time that a cow will go dry is often a matter of great importance.Some cows which yield a fair mess at first will not milk more than six or seven months per year.Such aeow is scarcely worth owning, except to fatten for liecf.The length of time a cow may lie milked depend* much on previous management.If a heifer i* milked after her first calf as long as possible, and has good milk producing food to stimulate the ifiuw of milk, she will retain this habit through life.More care should be taken in feeding and milking heifers on this account.Give them roots, and milk as long a* a drop can be got.I like to have heifere come in the first time when not over two years old, and a little young, r if possible.Then let them go farrow several months, so that the heifer may get greater size, and also to let the milk secretion ran on ns long a* possible, unchecked hy a new pregnancy.In this way if a heifer is naturally a good milker, she has the best chance to test her capacity, and also to increase Much depends on the way a cow has been kept.Cows accustomed to a great variety of food are invariably good eater» and almost always 1» avy milkers.'I bus, tin* lient cows in a neighborhood are usually those of poor mm whose one cw is made 11 pet of, and ha» nil sorts of food.Such cow» are usually a good bargain ut almost any price, though they will rarely do as when taken from their own old homes and turned in with the h ss varied fare accorded to larger herds.Milkmen have learned that it is important to give cows a variety «>f food.Hence their par-\u2022 diiis.» of bran, meal, roots and oil-cake.It may not pay fanners to take so much pain», hut they can promote the thrift of their herd*, and their own profits by changing the animal's food as oftm us possible.\u2014Curn*pondent Country (JentUman.( Cl llIMl MIIlIlT (ho box on the south side may bo marly on a fine with tho embankment about it During tho last week in March 1 sowed my sirdf, sowing them in sections which were duly set off with stieks distinctly labeled.Out of eighty varieties sf seed sown iu this hod, many which wero of a very delicate character, hut one kind\u2014that of lantana fail' d to germinate, and that too iu grout puinbors.'J ho previous year, with the *o» d sown in the op.-n borders, not over half ofthe varieties germinated and in sparse and sickly numbers at that.Of course there were cold nights, even .V during the month of April, and 1 spread VI.I.\t#h.s 1 .ring upon an entirely different basis, mid had such satisfactory ro-sult* from a small expenditure of monov, that 1 urn led to impart my method for tho benefit and encouragement of others.To hasten the germination of the flower seeds I had a long and narrow\u2014not over three feet wide\u2014hot-hid prepared about tho 2'.|tliof M itch.It was mad.in tho usual way, with a deep bedding of stable manure, with a two or three inch top dressing of fine, rich mould, brought from the woods, in which some sand was mixed.But for tho cover of tho bed, instead of using window sash, as is commonly employed, I was imluoed to try what is called the \"German hot-la d.\u201d This consisted of a frame, of the same size of the hot-bed, fitting snugly over the bed box, and Htrengthenod hy two or three cross-ban», over which was stretched and fastened with tack», unbleached ootton for which 1 paid six cent * per yard.After tho cotton was smoothed and firmly fastened over the frame, 1 gave the upper surface, with a paint brush, a coat of raw linseed nil, iu which two eggs, well lieaten, had been well stirred\u2014tho quantity of oil being about one pint.This preparation makes the niu*lin nt once waterproof and translucent.Although I made the experiment rather faithlessly, I soon perceived the immense advantage iu this cover over one of glas*; first, in the frame being very light to handle; and secondly, thai while the weds germinate with equal rapidity ns under tho glass, there is not tho slightest danger of even the most delicate seedling* being burned by the sun\u2019s rays.Indeed, so vastly sujierior is the \u2018\u2018German method\" over the glass cover, that it must oidy become generally known to be generally adopted.With r are, a frame once prepared will last for two or three seasons.And I may as well »ay in thi* connection that for all germinating and forcing purposes for the vegetable garden it is equally a» pood as for flowers.The object in having the hot-l«d narrow is to make tiresome blankets over the bed at sun-down, to prevent too great evaporation of heat.Early in April 1 had u K.cond hot-bed prepared iu a similar manner, in which to transplant the seislling», ox.-» pt that the soil on tho top was of a stronger chan'.» ter than that used in the first.Although the \"flower and fruitage\" of my flower garden, a hich came in due season, were perfectly satisfactory, yet 1 injoyed 110 part of niy gardening\u2019more than that comprehended in those fascinating hot-bods.Always moist, dewy and warm, the plants thrusting up their green arms in swarms, and looking no healthy, happy and strong, formed a sight that rump* tun d mo for hours every fine day.My friends declan d that I had gone daft, hut as my \u2022\u2022cru/inos\" waaof a harmless sort, no obstacle» w< rc interposed to my full enjoyment of the sprouting beauties.\u2014Correspondence oj the Ac a Fork Tribune.GarI'P.xino is Franc*.\u2014There are over (1,0110 in.n, women, and children engag'd in growing early asparagus, lettuces, carrots, and the like in and around Paris.Tho rent .\t;
