January.Speaking yesterday at the annual meeting uf the North American Life Assurance Company, the Hon.A.Mackenzie, Pre aident, referred to the efforts that had been made during the past year to extend the business of the Company throughout the Dominion.He said: \u2014I allude especially to the two western Provinces of the Domi mion, Whatever opinion seme of us may have as to the construction of the Cavada Pacific Railway, ¢r as to the policy pursued by the Government, there can be doubt of this in the mind of every man among us: That in the North-West we have a magnificent inberitance, and one in which all her industries should be cultivated and develuped.We should always bs willing to help forward the progress aud development of that country to the utmost offour power.Very much more depends upon this than is generally imagined.It is perhaps almost incredible, but it is a fact mevertlieless, that for a stretch of seven hundred miles from the Rocky Mountains the land 1s admirably suited for settlement, and a wise land policy on the part of the Government would do very much towards helping on its settlement and the establishmeut of trade between it and other parts of the Dominion.We have taken cognizance of these matters, and some of our agents have been engaged during the past year.British Columbia is generally supposed to be a Province wanting greatly in gricultural capacity.But it is, nevertheless, oue of the richest parts of this continent.As to general business, we have had to contend with an almost unprecedented general depression.Some of you may remember that I prophesied that this depression was sure to.come, but it has come sooner even than I expected.I mention this for the purpose of showing that there can be no doubt that reat ad our success has been, it would Rave been greater but for the cause I have mentioned.Our country, however, is too large and its resources are too great to alow of the depression continuing for any length of time.The hon.speaker then proceeded to review the doings of the company during the year, and in conclusion he moved the adoption of the report.Horn.Alexander Morris seconded the adoption of the report, and.expressed his plea-ure at the remarks which had fallen from Mr.Mackenzie regarding the Dowi- pion and its prospects.He believed in the resources of Canada himself.The thing they must guard against in promoting its progress was \u201cmad speculation and mad tradiig.\u201d \u201c ; The report was then carried.CONGBATWLATORY ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT.Hon.Alexander Morris then rose to present a congratulatory address, and a portrait.of himself, to the Hon.Alexander Mackenzie, from the inspectors and other olficrals of the Company.He had known Mr.Mackenzie for many years, Their political life had commenced about the same: time, twenty-two years ago.\u2018Their views had been divergent at that time and thev bad been divergent ever since, save for the brief period preceding and following Confederation.He had known Mr.Macken die in every capacity of his public life, since he enterod it as à reuruit from Lamb- ton county.He bad seen him win his spurs, and rise to the highest position that could be held by any commoner in Canada.It did not become him to express any opinion as to bis work in that capacity, but it so chanced that when he went as Lieutenaut-Gorernor to Manitoba, he found hunself presided over, not by his colleagues who had appointed him, but by Mr.Mackeuzie, and he could sincerely say that he could have bad no firmer or warmer support than he had from that gentieman and from his Government at a most critical period in the history of the country, so critical, in faet, that he had been compelled to state that unless he could get the support of the Ottawa Government he could not retain the position of Lieut.-Governor of Manitoba.Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, in reply, said that the presentation was quite à surprise Lo him, as he had done nothiug but discharge the duties devolving upon him, ani regretted even that he bad not been able to discharge them with more assiduity.Necessities of health and other things had taken him away a good deal.He always thought that In every position where he possessed any influence it should be his ob- Ject to promote an esprit de corps among the employees, and a spirit of uuselfish- ness regarding the affairs of the company they were connected with.He had endeavored to carry out this principle in his present position as in every other he had held, but he had not expected such a re- côguition of his action as had just taken lace.The presentation was rendered all the more pleasant to him because of the words of Mr.Morris.He fully appreciated the kind remarks made with reference to the time when Mr.Morris had served as Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba.He might say that the critical period to which Mr.Morris had referred had had a great deal to do with the formation of opinion regarding the North-West, and with its settlement.But in spite of the difficulties surrounding him, uothing could be more satisfactory than the manner in which Mr.Morris discharged the duties devolving upon him, He thanked him very much for his kind remarks, and he thanked also all those who had got up the testimonial presented to him.Nothing would be more gratifying to him than to know that there was harmony aud agreeable feeling prevailing among all the officers of the Com- any, and that such good feeling would ong continue, He received this precious manifesto of good feeling towards himself with the greatest possible delight, and it would afford himself and those connected with bim many an hour of pleasure in thinking over the circumstances under which it had been presented to him.THE ADDRESS was handsomely engrossed, and: read as follows :\u2014 To the Hon.Alexander Mackenzie, M.P., President of the North American Life Assurance Company\u2014Hon.and Dear Sir, \u2014 We, the officers, inspectors, and agents of the Company, embrace the opportunity afforded by the annual meeting to assure you of our admiration of the ability and integrity which have characterized your management of the COIDp+n y'a affairs.In the initiation of an enterpriw such as this, in a country which contained already 80 great a number of life assurance companies, Canadian, British and American, in successful operation, it was of the highest importance that, next to the adoption of sound principles and approved methods of assurance, the most prominent officers should be men of experience and reputation calculated to inspire the public with confidemce.This was certainly not the least csgential in the appointment of a president, and in this we are happy to bear our testimony to the singularly fortunaie selection made.And our gratitude has been muoh increased by the intimate practical kmowledge.of the various phases of life assurance you have evinced, not one of which ecems to have escaped your vigilant attention.Those of us who, from our position, have been in correspoudence with persons in all parts of the Dominion, and especially the agents, who have advised men to

of your honored name, and if many of our fellow-subjects, without re- ard to religious or political predilections, have selected this Company before others of long standing and undoubted reliability,

Director.Toronto, Jan.22, 1884.- , LYNCHING THE CUDDIGANS.Husband and Wife Hanged by a Pitiless Celorado Mob.Further particulars of the lynching of Mike Cuddigan and wife, at Ouray, Col., are toid by the Kansas City Zimes of January 21.Cuddigan and his wife had in their family à child named Mary Mathews whom they treated horribly.On the 13th of this month a hunter found the child lying insensible by a haystack, near Cud- dington\u2019s house.He told Mike, who took the child home, where she soon died.The bodies was buried; but stories of the cruelty got about, and the Coroner had the body exhumed.It was found that the child had been terribly maltreated, and robably killed.Cuddigan, his wife and Ber brother were arrested and taken to a hotel under guardjof the Sheriff.The next night a mob went to the hotel with the declared intention of lynching them.Carroll, the brotuer ot Mrs.Cuddigan, was in the room with his sister and brother-in-law.The vigilantes did not seem anxious to secure him, though they kept a sharp eye on him to prevent his escape.Cuddigan and his wife were the victims whom the lynchers sought Finding that there was but little to be teared from the few people in the street without, the vigilantes proceeded to carry out their programme.Mrs.Cuddi- an was the first to be taken out.She was ed into the street, scarcely able to walk because of her awful fright, crying hysterically for help, for the saints to defend her.ut her captors were unmoved.\u201cSpare me; I am innocent, God knows I am,\u201d she screamed, but the masked men who held her fast answered not a word.Oue would have thought they were deaf, se completely unmoved did they appear to be by her wild and pitiful cries for mergy.A moment later Cuddigan and Carroll were brought out.They were but little more composed than the woman.They cursed and prayed and begged all in one breath, but all in vain.They were gruffiy toid to cease their noise, and were hurried on.From the movement of the vigilantes after leaving the hotel it is elear that they had mapped out the minutest details of their work.They at once started toward the northern part of the city.But a few frightened pedestrisns who were standing helplessly around the hotel followed.On they went, moving swiftly through the darkness, dragging their victims after them.The night was made hideous by the fearful shrieks of the woman and cries for mercy which were made every now and then by the men.They begged for tune, for an hour, for a half hour, to prove their innocence, \u201cut the vigilantes moved oa in their inexorable purpose.Carroll, the brother-in-law, was led down Seventh street.Cuddigan and his wife were taken to the northern boundry of the city.When Uncle Tommy Andrew's cabin was reached the vigilantes, without order or spoken word, came to a halt.In fact, there were no orders given.All the men in the great body of masked wen seemed to act by pre- concerted arrangement.The trembling Cuddigan and his wife realized that their end had come.The woman\u2019s wails aud cries for mercy were lounder amd more pitiful than ever.The scene was a horrible one.The darkness was lit up here and there by the fire-fly-like glare of a lantern, and the rising moon cast a weird light over the awful scene, Ropeg, which had before been carefully concealed, were suddenly brought to view.The very sight of them increased the terror of the victims, and their supplications for mercy were almost unearthly, \u201cGay your prayers,\u201d said one of the vigilantes, as in company with two of lis cowrades he approached the trembling Cuddigan.\u201c Spare me! Spare me! God save mel\u201d, elled Cuddigan, dropping on his knees.ve Did you Spare heal Mary Mathews ?\u201d asked one of the vigilantes.\u201cI am inrocent.Save me.Don\u2019t hang me,\u201d wailed the miserable man.\u201c Make your peace with God.Your time has come.\u201d That was the only answer the vigilantes made, and poor Cuddigan began praying.It was a short shrift these relentless re- vengers gave him.The rope was made tast around his neck, and with the air echoing and re-echoing with the cries of the victiw, they hanged him from the ridge pole of Uncle Tommy\u2019s cabin.He struggled violently.His awful contortions were hidden by the darkness.They were then busy placing the noose around the neck of Mrs, Cuddigan.Words cannot describe the scene.Imagine a woman in the hands of a mob of men who are actuated only by a desire to avenge the wrongs of a little child who they honestly believed had met its death at her hands.They kuew no .mercy.Pity was not in thew [fer face was ghastly in the breaking light of the morn, aud under the yellow glare of the lantern\u2019s flame she begged, she prayed, she grovelled at their feet and seemed to have lost ali reason.Fear possessed lier soul to the uttermost, but her awful agony did not affect her executioners.roy stand ty untioved, those who are not ugaged in preparing the rope turning their heads frond gy white face hand wilh
