Shane, who upon this and every other occasion Was always a gentleman and a patriot.(Cheers.When his term of office was over he would support Mr.McShane, who, he was certain trom his acts to-day, wonld be clected by acclamation, He knew that Mr.MeSha would make a good mayor.He was a ciever and talented Irishman Mr.Grenier says now.What When, a few weeks ago,it became evident that Mr.MeShane was going to run for the mayoralty, Mr.Grenier was seen by a Herald -reporier and reminded of a certain specen, an extract of which is given inthe parailel column, He at once replied: +] never said that I would not oppose Mr, Mcshane, Or that he would be elected by acclamation.What 1 did say was thatun- less the citizens desired it, l would not ran for a third term,but 1 never said that I would support Mr.McShane.\u201d Le About the Spirits.Editor Herald :\u2014Having seen ia your paper on Jan.17, an article headea, \u201cKissing the Spirits\u201d and the experience Mr.Craigy had lately in \u2018the States while investigating materializations.I regret to see how unfortunate hs has been in nct being abie to find one gennine.Since he says he is a firn heliever in &piritualism pure an simple and that under certain psycholo girval conditions, the spirits of the de parted can aud cdo commanicate wita those still on earth.Woy must he com to ihe conclusion that materializstion i: an unmitigated fraud\u2014bevauts be has been very unfortunate in not comius across genains materialized spirits, tha: is no reason why her dues not contiau to turn every stone.It is very rare t find the true articls now a-days ia any thing\u2014the spurious will predominate.\u201c Knock and it shall be opened to you.Seek and you shall find.\u201d The discerring of spirits also, allow me to state that one need not have to go so far as Bostou, New York or Philadelphia t3 investigate or hope to find all truth there\u2014(the greater the crowd the graat3r are the imp:store, the more black sheep io be fonnd)\u2014when only thres hours from Montreal will bring oue t6 a delightful spot called Queen City Park, near Burlington, Vt., where every sam- mer a spiritual camp is he!d and where one beholds genuine materializations under the mediumship of the celebrated Eddäy brothers and Mrs.Mary Huntooa, Apyhow, ore should be open to convie- tion.To believe is to comprehead.To comprehend is to believe.The eminent Mr, Faraday (late electrician and chemist of the Royal Institution, London, England) wrote the following which will Le of use to investigating minds on the subject: \u201cHow spirit chemists produce materialization.\u201d The first thing to do alter the circle 1s formed in a seance, is to arrange the corresponding spirit forces and in the person of Mr.McShane the Irish peopie of Montreal would have their turn \u201d £0 that the emanations from the sitters can be blended without too much effervescence.The aura of each mortal varies in vibratory power and the emanations from the individual membera\u2018of the circle have to pass through this aura before they can be taken up by the spirits and placed in their battery.When the emanations are substantially free from the special vibratory rates of the sit'ers they then become availabla ter the spirit chemists to utilize in pre- ciritation upen the spirit form who wisbegto manifest.Tne latter has to come within the aura of the medium, which aura being easily changed in its rates of vibration, can correspond witu the mortal or spirit conditions upon a tow plane of vibration.When now tha subject comes within the influence of the medium, the spirits then apply the electric current which carries to 1t (ta9 spirit) the elements in the battary tnat Lave been tuken up from the sitters.Being arrested at the point of contact by the aura of the medium; they precipitate upon the spirit form, thus giving a double form apparently of the sam structure 8s when in mortal life.Th spirit form is encased in the now visibl torm, giving it vitality, and for th time being the spirit is in tae spher of mortal conditions and sensation matwrialization is accomplished whe each ergan of the spirit body has take 1 on enough of the elements in consolidated form.This is not always uniform.Materialization is always produced by directing the electric current upon ths organ that it is desired to reconstruct ia : visible form.The spirit structure gives a basig for the elements in solution ta ba transferred from it to the spirit, and the electric force does the rest.That forca the spirit chemists do not make, but direct its action in these lines.snd without it they could not do nothing towards giving a phenomenor.It comes uuder vhe law general cf electric transfer of the elements from the radiant to the visible etate, The spirit realm itsslf is matter in the attennuated condition.There is no known limit ts its power, and hardly any true comprebension of its nature ia the mortal world.All spirit forms are cremically composed of the sublimated elements that exist in material forces.Very few on thie earth\u2019s plane can as yet arrive at this conclusion.Fearing that [ am takiag up too much space in your paper, I close without finishing what the great scientist Faraday remarks about * Hostile Sesptics?and \u201cSpirit Grabbers,\u201d and its effect on Inaterialization.A POOR RELATION OF THE GREAT SPIRITUALIST GERRaLD Massey.[Professor Faraday seems to know all about it, but the difficalty arises from the fact that once a chemist gets started, as they say, thera is no talling where he willarrive.Butifall this \u201cemanation from the sitters,\u201d the \u201cAura,\u201d and so forth, is necessary, how are the ghosts in baunted houses, graveyards, etc., to be accounted for.and if we give up these things what becomes of our Christmas stories.The trip to Burlington sug- sested seems very inviting, but married Spiritualiets have to contend with the suspicion of their wives.Thesa ladies have read about \u201caffinities\u201d anl so forth, and look a little askance at dark Sceaucer, etc., nor will their confidence be restored on reading Mr.Craigie\u2019s ne- cunt of the eminently practical means he adopted of testing the nature of the vigion that appeared to him.We ara not prepared to say that spirits cannot materialize, but in view of the host of frauds that bave pretended to be able to bring about this phenomenon, and the self deception of which people are capable, every ous ms y ba forgiven for declin- 1 0 believe it uotil they are conviuced J ocular

Herald.THURSDAY MORNING, JAN.22.MISMANAGED RAILWAYS.During the last six years the agerezate deficit on the Government Railways\u2014 not taking into account the expenditure cn capital account that should have been charged to ravenue\u2014amounted to nearly $2,000,000.Here are the figures : I.C.Ry.P.E I.Ry.185.0.000000000 § 73,324 $ 52,618 186 32,718 61,159 187.232,105 43,934 1888.363,043 71,276 1889 238,561 76.189 1690 553,392 105,514 $1,574,146 $415,690 These two aggregates, with a deficit of $18,232 on the Eastern Extension in Nova Scotia in 1889, make a total of $1,948,118\u2014dangerously near two millions.In the same six years the expenditure made on these railways oa capital account, was as follows: Inter- cclonial, $3,128,705; P.E, I.Railway, $10,468 ; Eastern Extension Railway, $34,418; total, $3,173,591.It is difficut to decide in looking over tbe accounts what should and should not be fairly charged to capital account.It is fair to admit that such extensisrs as the St Charles Branch, the Dartmouth Branch, the Stellarten Pictcu Branch, the Indian- town Branch, etc., are fairly chargeable to capital; but why renewals of rollinz stock, eettlement of claims, applying brakes to locomotives, wharf tracks, coal sheds, road crossings, increased accom- mcdation, legal expenses, etc., should ba 80 charged is not clearly appareat.If we deduct the extensions noted above, it will probably be found that at least one million dollars of the amount charged to capital should have been charged to income, and would bave been so charged under the principle laid down by the Mackenzie Government but casi to the winds in 1880 by Sir Charles Tupper.Before he went out of power Hon.Alex.Mackenzie closed the construction account of the Intercol- onial, insisting that all outlays thereafter made should be charged to operating expenses.As a matter of fact he actad uron that principle in the two latter years of bis administration, re- leid the Intercolonial Railway with steel rails from end to end, charging tte same to operating expenses and yet did not have any larger deficit, except in one year, than the present management had last year.Sir Charles Tupper, under pressure of political exigencies, re-opened construction account in 1880, with the results we have noted above.Had Hon.Alex.Mackenzie adopted the plan of charging to capital euch items as renewals, increased accommodation, legal expenses, etc., be would have had a flourishing surplus every year.One of the objects had in view by Sir Charles Tupper in re-opening construction account, was to \u201chgure out\u201d a surplus so 8 to demonstrate the superiority of his management over that of Mr.Mackenzie.He succeeded in figuring out a vary small surplus in one year, but with that exception the deficit has gone on increasing from year to year, until the aunual amcunt has gons above half a milliou, as shown by tue figures we quote.Most extraordinary management ! All this is clearly and ind.- putably tha result of managn the Intercolonial as a political annex o the Tory party instead of running it o business principles and in the gensra! interests of the Domigion.It requires no denunciation to impress npn the p :c- ple the conviction that the Irtercolonial is execrably, recklessly and inefficiently managed ; the facts and figures we have given above are more eloquent than the most vigorous language.It will not do, as some Tory papers in the Maritime Provieces are doing, to throw the blame on Mr, Schreiber and Mr.Pottinger.The Government must be held responsible.Messrs.Schreiber and Pottinger are subordinates of the Minister of Railways and must carry out the instructions given them.Asa matter of fact, it ig pretty well understood that their views and advice have been more than once over-ridden by the Government or Minister of Railways, driven by political Fressure to do what was clearly inexpedient with most unsatisfactory results.\u2018The Intercolonial is a Government Railway and the people must hold ths Government, not individual subordinates, responsible for the existing mismanagement.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 YOU CAN'T FOOL THE FARMERS AGAIN.A Restrictionist organ wants to know what Sir Richard Cartwright would say if some farmer should ask him : \u201c Will the Liberals guarantee to raise the price of land and the price of wheat, if we put them in power?\u201d We do not alippase any thoughtful farmer with a grain of common-sense in his composition would ask so silly a question.Farmers generally remember how th ey were victimized by the specious and delusive promises made to them in 1878, that the National Policy would raise the price of their products.Farmers know that the exact opposite has taken place, and they also know that the increased duties on what they have to buy has lessened the purchasing power of the money they get for their produce.They are worse off both ways than they were before the adoption of the National Policy.Bat if avy farmer should propose such a question to Sir Richard Cartwright or any other Liberal leader, a prompt answer would be ready.The Liberal leaders would gcorn to humbug the farmers\u2014is Sir John and the Tory leaders did in 1878\u2014by telling them that they could increase the prices of their farm produce by fiscal legislation.Neither Sir John Macdonald nor anybody else can any more hoodwink such yarns.The latter know now, if ttey did mot in 1878, that the prices o:! farm produce are settled, not by legislation, but by tbe law cf supply and demand and the ruling prices ia the world\u2019s markeis.à question natarally would ba that the Liberals, by reducing the tariff, by ro- moving trade restrictions, by giving tha manufacturers raw materials iree or at low rates of daty, by removing the taxes on the necessaries of life, and by securing closer commercial relations with the United States, would afford scope for the development of trade, enable the farmer to buy in the cheapest and sell in the daarast markets; and this in turn would lessen the burden of taxation and increase the purchasing power of his dollar, so that if he got no higher price for his bushel of grain, or bag of potatoes, or load of hay, or farm stock the same money would purchase him more,of the comforts and necessaries of life than it does now.Thus the condition of the farmer would be vastly improved; he would enjoy a much greater degree of prosperity under a regime of low taxation and freer trade than he does under the onerous taxation and restricted trade from which Canada is now suffering.And wiih the farmers enjoying greater prosperity all other classes and industries would sbare in that prosperity.As has frequently been shown, the products of the farmer's industry censtitute the main force which moves the wheels of commerce, and anything the farmers the tillers of the soil contributes to the activity of trade and benefits all other industries.It is arrant humbug and nonsense to pretend that prosperity can be created or promoted by the continued imposition of the heavy taxation now resting upon the country.The panacea of high taxation las proved Tworse than a failure, and the people want to get back to a system of goverhment and legislation based on common-sense principles.\u2014\u2014r TORY METHODS IN CONGRESS.One of the chief issues in the present seesion of Congress at Washington has been what is called the Force Bill.The Republican promoters of it claim that it is intended to prevent the negroes being coerced by the white Democrats of tha south; the Democrats aver that it is intended to enable the Republican managers in the south to count in whatever candidates they please.Whatever its purpose it is a bill of a revolutionary character and practically gives the Government of the day control of the polls to an alarming extent.In some measure it bears a likeness to Bir John\u2019s Franchise bill, as that barefaced attempt to collar the constituencies was at first introduced, and it has been fought in Congress with even more determination than the Canadian atrocity met with.By dint of very bard fighting and great personal inconveniences, the Liberals of Canada succeeded in eliminating some of the most ob- jectionanie features of Sir John\u2019s bill.They clipped the proposed wings of his revising barrister and returning officer a little, and they prevented the Government giving votes ta the bands of Indians on the Saskatchewan who were fed and clothed by the Government and lived generally under ths control of the Goveromeat\u2019s Indian agents, Big Bear, Pousdmaker, Piapot and the rest were not permitted to marshal their braves to be led to the polls by the Indian agents.The savages of BritiahColumbia, many of whom live by the prostitution of their women and such uncertain harvests as they may gain from the sea or the forest,were not entrusted with the right of swamping the votes of Canadian citizens in Ontario, Quebec and elsewhere, though Sir John and his friends in the Hous: of Commons tried hard to 80 arrange it.A nobler fight for the proper liberties of the country has seldom been made taan that carried on by Messrs.Blake, Laurier, Cartwright, Mitchell, Mills, Paterson, Davies, and the brave and determined phalanx of Liberals behind them.The American Force Bill has aroused a similar spirit at Washington.The Republican Senators, however, fearing that they could not overcome the opposition which their measure had created endeavored to silence the opposition, or a substantial pat of it, by various methods.They let it be understood that the silver coinage bill might pass if the other ded, aud thereby hoped to alienate from the Democratic opposition the senators from the mining states.Then some proposition was made to Mr.Carlisle to the effect that certain object ionable clauses might be omitted to pass the Senate.A Washington correspondent speaking of the matter says: * The scheme was to get the bill through the senate in this harmless shape and throw it into conference committee, where it would be made a worse bill than it ever has been.It would then have thy additional advantage of being a privileged report, and therefore, to be considered with limited debate.This trick aroused Senator Carlisle to the desperation of the Republicans.and he went over and encouraged the leaders of his party in the Louse to coutinue with every means at their disposal the obstractive tactics of delaying public business and in every way possible fo emphasize t he Republican inability to transact other than partisan legislation of a revolutionary character.\u201cThe surprising feat of Senator Fau'k- ver, of West Virginia, in holding the floor of the senate for twelve continuous hours and speaking altogether seven hours is the talk of the capital to-day, and Republicans confess that if the other Democrats show such remarkable powers of endurance the force bill will actually: be talked to death.Senator Faulkner went The answer to such\u2019 which contributes to the prosperity of THE MONTREAL HERALD.THURSDAY.JANUARY 22,1891.by !wilout food for four.een c onsecutive tours and finished his remarks with apparently no exhaustion whatever.H» began at 10.30 o'clock last night and this morniog at 10.30, when he yislded the flocr to Senator Daniel of Virginia his voice was a8 clear as when he started.Senator Daniel had been in excellent health and told his friends that they could go to sleep in safety, as he would permit no interraption for at leas: three hours.\u201d a \u2014 THE MORE SENSIBLE COURSE.The New York Herald says that *tba best way to fight Eogland \u201d is to take off the duties on raw materials and that by so doing the United States \u201ccould make England sick\u201d by underselling her in her own markets.By this means the States would have \u201ctbe carrying trade which was stolen from us (the U.8.) when the war began.\u201d We don\u2019t think the word \u201cstolen \u201d is fairly used, but if it were whose fault is it that the property has not been recovered.The Herald ad- nits that it is the fault of the Americans themselves in putting on duti:s on their raw materials.The Herald adds, \u201cIf we have any grudge, that would be a good way to gratify it; or any revenges, that would be a good way to satisfy them.\u201d England has bean annexing soms of America\u2019s best girls of late it is true, but there are as good fish in the sea as ever come out of it, so they need rot fesl angry about that.They cannot bz idiots enough to feel any angar nowadays at the causes of the anciunt wars between the two peoples, particularly as the Americans gained much credit for their bearing at least in the first and mest difficult one, and if the grudge spoken of refers to any feeling about the Alabama they might remember two things; (1) that the damage done was more than paid for, and that England refused to join France in assuming an attitude to the then disunited States which bad it been taken would probably have broken up the Union.It seems to us that the best thing the United States can do is to bury that grudge and take the duties off raw material.As much friendly rivalry ag you like, hut gradges should be left to the old women, mst of whom, however, would be ashamed to foster them.\u2014 MR.PLIMSOLL SAT UPON AGAIN.a! In the London Times of Jan.8 are letters from Mr.Baden-Powell, M.P., Messrs.Allan Bros.& Co., of London, and Mr.Robert Drummond, of the Foreign Cattle Trade Association, on the subject of Mr.Plimsoll and his crusade against the shipment of live cattle.Mr.Baden- Powell points out that the ships employed in the trade are infinitely safer than the cattle ships engaged in the coasting trade of Europe; that the losses at sea, involving the loss of human life, are greater in vessels engaged in other trades ; that the question whether as live beef or dead meat is the more profitable way of shipping animals has nothing to do with the matter ; that shipping cattle is a legitimate trade, as much so as shipping anything else ani should not be subjected to vexatious legislation, founded on sentiment or theory, until all parties concerned in the matter have been heard, and particularly when it is remembared that the question, 60 far as the cattle are concerned, is mainly whether they shall be killed in England or Canada.Messrs.Allan Bros.give some closer information.During the year 1890 they carried 5057 of which one died and five were lost, that is a loss of about one 10 a thousand.They point out that the refrigerator trade is dying out, that if the live cattle trade were stopped, or even if cattle could not be carried on deck, it would simply mean throwing the trade into the hands of a few large butchering firms in.Chicago, and that the final result would be that the British workman would have poorer besf at a higher price.They confidently deny that the Erin or Thanemora were lost by reason of their carrying cattle and assert that a vessel supposed to be the Thanemore was seen on firs, They ask why Mr.Plimsoll does not attack cotton ships which are much mors dangerous to life, as they constantly catch fire.In reference to this it is safe to say that Mr.Plimsoll knows too much to undertake a crusade against the shipment of cotton, dangerous as it may be to the lives of the crews of the ships, and if the British public is made to understand that the result of his present proposals would be to increase the price of butchers\u2019 meat the matter would be quickly disposed of.Mr.Drummond says that Mr.Plimsoll\u2019s efforts are obviously directed to the interests of the four firms in the dead meat trade and thinks that it is scarcely too much to conclude that Mr.Plimsoll must be holding a brief for the fow leading agriculturists of England who are doing their best to stop the live cattle trade under the guise of cruelty since they cannot do it under the plea of disease, Taking nne consideration with another Mr.Plimsoll is catching it all roand preity smartly.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 JUST WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.\u201cThere is, perhaps, no one feature of administration that receives more adverse criticism on the part of the Opposition than the increase in the public debt.Yet none less deserves it, as we propose to demonstrate by the official returns.\u201d Tbe above is the opening paragraph of an editorial in yesterday\u2019s Gazette.Unfortunately the promise of a demonstration is nut fulfilled, but quite contrary- wise.The Gazette's theory is that the Coneervative Government spent a larger proportion of borrowed money on railways, buildings, etc., etc., than did the Liberal party,and therefore have not been extravagant.Quite 80.They borrowed money and gave it to Mr.Boras for his Caraquet Railway, to Mr.Temple for his bridge, to Mr.Pope to steel rail the road he wanted to sell to the C.P.R, to Mr.Riopel for his Bay des Chalenrs Railway, to Mr.Baird for his steamsbip company.They paid out $2,530,000 to fulfil certsin promises made by Sir Charles Tupper when four Government supporters were in danger.They spent over half a million in a breakwater at Port Arthur and the port is about to be abandoned by the C.P.R.for Fort William, which Mr.MacKenzie declared was the proper place for it.No one charges tte Government with not having spent the loans on \u201cbuildings,\u201d ete.The postoffics at Annapolis, the public buildings to which Dr.Landerkin (?) called attention, a 1d numerous other political expenditures, testify to the fact that large 8ume were spent in railways, buildings, etc.The public accounts just published show that on the Intercolonialand P.E.I, Railways ~ about ome million dollars over and ahove the earnings have bean spent out of the money which Mr.Foster raised in London, because the Govarc- ment carry freight for their friends below cost price.A careful examination of the public accounts of the past few years would show many millions of public mozey spent out of loans the interest and commission of which are charged upon the overburdened Caua- dian taxpayer.Sir Leonerd Tilley, a much vaunted Conservative Finance Minister, raid that by 1890 the Feleral debt ought to be down to $100,000,000, but Sir Leonard Tilley's colleagues have run 1t up to about $287,000,000.How can it be otherwise if, as Mr.Rykert says, dozens of Conservative members sit in the House of Commons voting money into tberr own pockete.Benson, the jubilee plunger, conld sbow that he went through à fortune in one year, and though he has this advantage over the present government that he can plead it was his own and not other people's money that he distributed amongst his friends and para- cites, no one commends him for his extravagance.What the people of Canada require is a little more economy in the disbursement of their money, 4 little lees generceity in distributing it among party supporters, a little less borrowing from Tom, Dick and ;Harry, who grow fat in London on the commissions paid by Canadian taxpayers, and they want considerably less taxation on the usual articles of consumption.\u2014\u2014 Tae House of Commons was informed frum the Conservative benches that since the N.P.had been inaugurated the hens had layed larger eggs and the cows had given more milk thau under the previous Liberal administration.Before Sir John adopts reciprocity he ought to come to an understanding with the Canadian hen, and by giving her a railway subsidy or a timber limit to scratch in, or something, secure a promise that she will not revert to the old sized egg, particularly as the English dealers say the Canadian egg is no good in the their markets unless it is of large size.\u201d Whether he can prevail with the cow to behave handsomely in the changed circumstances we do not know, but as he intimated that he expected the hogs that he fed with acorns to fry the fatout of themselves, possibly he can do something with the gentle ruminating cow.Mr.Mackenz ¢, of course, having run over Mrs.Murphy\u2019s cow with a locomative ,was naturally not a persona grata in the herds, bus anything anpertainivg to a horn or two or more hores ought to be handled by the present cabinet without much difficulty.>oG\u20140 THE EMPIRE:\u2014Warren Hastings, when charged with the plunder of the millions of India, declared that when he called to mind the boundless opportunities for extortion he had had, and the comparative infreyuency of the levies he made, he was utlerly amazed at the extent of his own moderation, Ycu're a big story ; he never did.May be you are thinking of Clive, though even then the statement is a libel, Clive was on the gridiron for having received preten(s from Indian princes; he was not charged with extortion.And these presents were not made by contr.ctors with unpassed accounts, civil servants whose promotion cr increase of salary depended on the minist:r receiving ths present or anything of that kind.And it the preeent Government at Ottawa ever express surprise at their own moderation they will exhibit more impudence than they are credited with, and that is no small quantity.CURES PERMANENTLY NEURALGIA JT HAs Wo gQUAL.IT IS THE BEST: QURE FOR -MEN !

the billiard championship Las become à burning question anl seems at length to be approaching sett e- ment.As one of the original founders of the original founders of the rales under which the championship has been decided since 1870, we very naturally wish to give our views on the change \u2018hat is evidently about to take place in the regulations for that contest.It is a well-known fact that the championship table was invented to prevent the too srreat preponderance of the spot stroke, the pockets being narrowed to three inches, and the spot placed half an incu pearer the top cushion than on ord - nary tables.Although, of course, this arrangement told against W.Cook, then a youngster, who had just succeeded iu making even a larger spot break than John Roterts, gen., whose record braak then was only 346 (104 spots), it is ner- fec ly untrue to say -that the committee who framed the championship rules sir » py framed them to save the elder Ro; berts from defeat at the hands of hi rising younger rival.The table for tha championship was so arranged because apparently the public objected to even a 300 break compiled by the spot stroke aline.But the result was not quite what head been anticipated, Big breaks are .8t:11 appreciated, and the public will now flcck to eee a 3,304 break composed almost entirely of spot strokes.They have persistently ignored the championship table, and therefore it is quite time the arrangement ceased to exist.When the champiorship committes of 1870 framed the rules, it was expecied that everycne would be able in time ts make hunireds by means of the spot, but it is now found that after all theres only about ten layers who, even with the spot, cin beat the champion playing spot-barred, 4nd that a championship table to even the very beet amateur is a piecs of furniture which reduces breaks to a vèry small compass.If the leading professionals do not want the champiou- ship table it should at once disappear, for the spot-barred game has evidently greater attractions for the public than the spot in play.Why not return to tte old tables, pockets 3§ in.and a spot 124 in.from the top cushion?Ttere i8 no earthly reason why both games should not have their champiorships, Association and Rugby football is exactly a parallel case.= he «country, county, and club championships of both styles of football are played tor every year, aud there is never any jealousy or rivalry between the Aesacia- tion and Eugby representatives.Way cannot Roberts and Peall arrive at au equaily bappy modus vivendi?Each at his own particular game is far and away in front of his opponents, and there need be no claim by either to step in front and wish to disparage the play of of his rival.We are sure some metho s of this description is the only way out oi the diffi- «culty, and, therefore, we are very glad to see that on Wednesday af.ernoon, an informal gathering of the Billiard Asscclation of Great Britain and Ireland took place for the purpose of discussing the future of the billiard cha mpionship.The fpe- cial general meet ing originally called by tbe secretary, at the request of W.2¢ Peall, was not strictly legal, as the requi- siticn was not signed by the requisite number of members with the required seven days\u2019 notice.Under these circumstances the meeting was open to anyone taking an interest in the game, and a large muster of billiard enthusiasts took advantage of the opportunity t> air their views, although, of course, nothing was really settled in respect to the question.A lot of discussion ensued relative to the matter in bard, in which Messrs.Peall BH.PB.Smith, Collis-Orme, J.Roberts, ir., W.J.Innes Christy and Remington Wil- scn took the chief part.Ultimately several sensible propositions were put forward for future discussion, and a general meeting cf the Billiard Association is to te convened for the purpose of settling tLe vexed question.General gporting Gessip.A match is being arranged for next week between the Toronto and Montraal Curing Clubs.Harry Gent, the famous En.lish sprinter and conquercr of Harry Hut- chens, is seriously ill.The banquet to Dr.E.P.Gordon of the Torontos has

the Tyne for £50, Kernaban staking £30 and Boyd £20.Boyd won somewhat easily by two clear lengths.The Governor-General in acknowledging the receipt of the invitation to the Tuque Bleues\u2019 annual dioner to be given on Feb.14, has replied that he has an engagement which will keep him in Cttawa until after that date, but if pot- sitle he will aitend.Gus Lambert is training hard for his fght with

the Collega now are D.A.Norton, T.B.Turner aad H.Hallock, The former is a member of the Manhattan A.C., and has won several prizes in gumes in this city.In an 8- mile cross-country run he'd last week Turzer and Hallock broke the college record for that distance held by Norton.They ran tbe distance over rough roads in 52m.30s.\u201c Mick \u201d Dooley, the New Zealaud mid- dle-weight, who believes that he can knock out Bob Fitzsimmons in eight rounds, is coming to America by tho first steamer wbich leaves Sydney.The Sporting men who witnessed the recent big battle in New Orleans are prepared to bet thousands that Dooley will not last ten rounds with the middle-weight champion.Sp2aking of Dooley, Jimmy Colville of Beston said: \u2018Tney have sent some wonderful men over here lately but I don\u2019t believe there is a fighter in the wcrld of his weight who would be \u2018in it\u2019 with Fitzsimmons, Tf Mick Dooley thinks hs can whip him he can get wagon loads of money an - where in

much concerned over the probable defeat of Col.Stevenson and ttey appear toimagine in that case it would be very deplorable to insurance interests.As an elector in the ward I think it rather presumptuous if true that tbe insurance companies would \u201ccombine\u201d to secure Ald.Sterenson\u2019a re-election when we bear in mind that this same \u201ccombine\u201d have during the Colonel\u201d «c- cupancy of the chairmanship of the Fire Committee raised the rate of premiums from 20 to 40 per cent., and if the Fire Brigade has now been brought into such a high state of efficiency why do they not reduce the premiutns to the old rates of five or six years ago?I can remember when the rates were increased that It was then alt charged to the bad state of the Fire Brigade, and this sawe \u201ccombine\u201d charged Ald.Stevenson with being the chief cause by his pigheadedness, stubborness and not disposed to do anything to put the Brigade in proper shape and in consequence raised the premiums and throwing the blame on the Fire Committee.Now if Ald.Stevenson\u2019s chairmanship bas been such a success why not reduce the rate of premiums to the old standard and then the electors might be inclined to over look some of the Colonel\u2019s short comings in other matters.1 think the merchants of the ward have no reason to consider favorably the opinions of this \u201ccombine\u201d but rather the reverse, and I trust the electors will resent this unwarranted interference in the election as we want no \u201ccombines\u201d of this character to try and thwart the choice of the people.A Surrerkr From Hic RATEs.A Contradiction.Editor Herald :\u2014In your issue of the this morning there is an item referring to our Boston Agency of the Hansa Steamship

BRANCHES.- Money Matter And The Silver Bill\u2014The Elections\u2014Stir In The Provision Market \u2014The Holiday Dullness DissipatecL MoxTreAL, Wednesday, Jan.21.With tke close of the third week of ths year we bave to note the gradaal disappearance of the holiday languor that was hanging like a cloud over the markets for the two weeks previous.Business bas now resumed its normal condition in most lines, though jewelry, fancy goods and toys have scarcely got over the holiday.surfeit as yet.Of course all lines are not equally sharing what little prosperity is going, as some branches are not and never expect to be busy at this season of the year, but in the main trade has resumed its usual course.The course of silver legislation in the United States is thought by many to be a cloud of evil omen hanging over the course of the year\u2019s trade, and the passage of free coinage by the U.8.Senate is alleged to be the reason why, with morey cheap as ever it has beer, the trading and speculative épiriL does mot rise to the occasion.There is no doubt a wide spread dread, among the great capitalists of what may be the result of the experiment, but we who are outsiders as it were, and cannot be co-erced by United States legislation, have no need for any great alarm.There are not wanting students of economics who strenuously upbold the dual metallic base, as tae only one of sufficient elasticity to suit the extended demands of modern commerce, and their arguments in favor of their pet theory, and their deductions therefrom, are entitled to some consideration.But the questlon now is one mainly of voting power, and, unfortunately, lower considerations than statesmanship sound financing or patriotism will.have the preponderating voice.While one siue falls back on the old axiom: vox populi vox dei, the other side tells us that the population is mostly composed of fools, and that their opinion on intricate matters of finance is worthlegs.Any way we in Canada have the role of onlookers, and, if nut quite in the pcsition of disinterested spectators, have atail events the opportuaity of profiting by the experiences or errors of our neighburs without being materially affected by their consequences.There can be little doubt, however, that the upward turn of speculation in stocks and funds has been to some considerable extent checked by the legislation of the past week.In our own city the heavy failures that bave taken place, with other disquieting rumors, have bad their effect in monetary circles, and something like the cautious feeling that pervaded the money market during the stringency that f)l- lowed on the Baring catastrophe now prevails.There is plenty of money in the market, and with the likelihood of a further lowering of Bank of England rate sumeihing like a glut 18 anticipated, but all applications are very closely scrutinized and the speculative feeling is thereby considerably checked.There ia at present a strong dispesition in many lines to work down accumulations of stacks, to withdraw from purely speculative ventures, to strengthen reserves, and to, as it were, trim the ship to mest any adverse gale, that captains of commerce may feel themselves safe no matter from which quarter the blow comes.\u2018While these considerations all combine to induce the masters of finance to exercise a wise caution, he regular every day course of trade runs much as usual.In all branches, apart from speculative demands, there is a call for every day consumption that must be supplied, hence manufactories, warehouses,stores offices, wholesalers, jobbers retailers, and in fact the whole machinery of commerce continues to jog along and, as we ray of the last week, there js a fair amonnt of business doing for the season.Just now we haves good deal of attention diverted from comercial considerations by the prospect of the coming clections.It is notin our proviace to say anything on this head but we may express an opinion that if genuine leaders of commerce, men who have made their names known far and wide by financial and commercial ability, could be induced to attend a little more to civic politics it would be of infinits banefit to the city.There are, in so great a commonwealth as this, so many questions of high importance to the civic welfare that would be greatly benefited by the attention of broad minde, of quick decision and of noble daring, that would risk unpopularity if necessary to carry out great objects.Our harbor improvements are practically decided upon, but there are many points which would be bettered by the advice of experienced shippers, merchants or exporters, and which will run a rink of being muddled by advisers whose life lessons have been learned in the workshop, or at the retail counter, or in an office.There are the two extremes of lavish generosity and cheeseparing economy to be combatted, and it 18 to be regretted that so many whose assistance would be of the greatest possible benefit cannot be persuaded to give their fellow-citizens the benefit of their well-earned leisure and hard-won experience.We note as an excellent example that when a bedy like the Board of Trade comes to its annual election of officers, the selection is usually made of men supposed to be most conversant with each particular branch of trade and we hear no question as to whether it ig the turn of one nationality or creed or anosher.There is an old saying tells us there i8 no kin in trade and why should not the same be true of civic po- itice.To come to the week\u2019s business there has been a marked stir among lard producers and a fair to good trade in dairy producers, the causes and reasons for which are given more in detail below.The egg market has bean firm and strong.Flour and grain light but a better feeling springing up.Provisions, good local trade at firm prices.Dry goods, fair average business, but a strong feeling of conservatism manifested which induces a sharper eye to collections than to undue pressing of new parcels upon reluctant buyers.Fancy trades, slow at present, but getting ready for the spring campaign.Boots and shoes fairly busy on spring goods with collections reported fair to gocd and complaints that present prices are too low in proportion to raw material.Hides and leather, a steadv feeling prevailing with advances in bides maintained.Furs, the market already steady and without material change.Groceries, good steady\u2019 trade doing, collections good, and with short credits the rule the trade considered in a generally Or PIERS 4 e- s

fair.The gloom that Lung over the market at the opening of the year has almost disappeared and the trade is settling down to its usual basis.There is a good local demand and deliveries to jobbers and the city trade liave been satisfactory.The sales noted for export last week have died away again, but towards the end of this week enquiry has once more sprung up, and with hardening markets on tue other side buyers and seilers should once more be able to meet on a satisfactory basis to both sides.The market is fairly firm and in good condition, and prices appear to have aboat reached their downward limit.Grain.Receipis of grain per rail have bee lighter than last week and no material alteration has taken place in the trade.The condition of the market is one of unmitigated dullness but holders are firm and see the better days coming.There is a fair movement in jobbing lots but no large transactions are noted.Thera is a good movement from Manitoba direct to New York for export and merchants here consider they are not fairl - deal with in the matter of railway freigh* dircrimination on which point some of them are determined to make their voices heard at an early date.Provisions, A lively time in lard, as foreshadowed in our last week\u2019s review, commenced last Thursday, As soon as the term agreed to by the producers expired, which was on Jan.16, a war of retaliation against the firm which had mads a cyt of five cents to obtain a large order commenced.Prices were immediately dropped to $1.40 per pail, a fall of 25c.! At tbis drop jobbers and speculators went almost crazy and a rush was made to lay in stocks, One firm put ont 20,000 pails in a few days, another 12,000 and others shared in the rush, but not in such large quantities, Producers haying pretty well glutted the local demand have now commenced to raige prices again and the lowest quotation obtainable to-day was $1.423, with others, who | have perhans pretty well cleaned out for the present, demanding $1.45, Butchers\u2019 lard has been also sold but in more limited quantities as the stock is short at Tie, and for finest lesf lard the quotation is 83c@9¢c.stocked themselves up for a long time to come and a little rate war among themselves has commenced, the original determination being that having obtained a staple of the grocery trade at a considerable reduction dealers would make it a leading article to attract other castom.However that is a game that more than one can play at and accordingly prices have been go cut that some ratailers have obtained their few pails on usual terms atthe same figure as the dealer had bought at, in thousand pail lots for cash, After such a flooding of the market on low terms the futare course of the trade for some time at least will be weak and unsatisfactory.For barreled pork and cured meats there bas been a fairly satisfactory trade doing and prices are firmer, outside prices being obtainable for good size jobbing lots.Dressed Hogs.The tone of the trade does not rale so firm as last week though even then we were obliged to say that we could not find actual sales to justify the higher quotations.Since than we have heard of several deliveries in car lots at $6.25, although some claim to have paid higher fvures.Deliveries continue light and Western offerings are not very free but the attempt to boom up the market has pot been sustained, and in spite of all reports of scarcity of the hog crop large buyers are firm, and until prices mest their views express their determination to live on their stock in hand.There is now a brisk delivery 10 packers and job- It is .said that many of the jobbers have : and bolders look forward with great con.| fidence to having plenty of warehonge | rcom by the time new makes comnienca | to arrive.The proverbial slip\u2019twixt cup and lip may happen betwsen the cheege merchant and bis prospective bank bal.snce, but at present there is nothing ty justify any foreboding, and evérything ta inspire coufidence.Private cables ang advices all tend to give confidence, while all etock calculations place the amount mn band at less than usual at this season, Eggs.The demand Las been smaller during tbe week, which is no doubt chiefly gt.; tributable to the high range of prices, | Stocks in the city are, however, brought down within such reasonable compas that holders eau afford to keep firm, a3 the probabilities are that every dozen will be wanted before new stocks commence:to arrive.We have roted \u2018hat western lots are alraady coming into northern cities in the States, but the competition is ag yet too keen and price too bigh to have siuch effect on nolders in this city.Pouitry and Game.The arrivals continue to grow daily less, while the demand, it not quite as big as ever, is still in excees of supply, consequently the market holds firm on limited business.Turkeys, particuaiarly if choice, are hunted for with all the ho iday eagerness, aud chickens have alio been in good demand.Ducks for choice lots have ru'ed bigh, while geess have again been rather out of favor.Partridge are in great request, with their , time growing very short, as they come under protection of the law on Feb, 1, with ten days allowed to dealers t) clear stocks.Grocery, While one of the most important of the city trades that of the grocerisiua general way freer from sudden excite ment, and great changes in market values, and pursues the even tenor of its way from week to week with little varia tion.The trade generally is reported in good condition and as proof whol-salers, are satisfied with the returns, «nd da not seem to worry themselves as dry-zools men are obliged to do.over the eventual: ities of the future, Credit bas been brought within such reasonable limi that nothing can greatly Lurt the course of trade and retailers while learn ing to cash up promply am learning how to conduct their own business on a satisfactory cash basis.The ld-fashioned corner grocery that kept half the neighborhood tied to it on loug- winded accounts at big prices, is being rapidly [superseded by the smart, pushing tradesman who gerves you well #nd quickly with whateyer you want.The grocery where neighbouring gossips meet in winter tn play at casi- ,m.o on ihe head of a flou i barrel is getting into the backeronad as | vnsuilable to city wants and the big wholesalers are glad of it.A!l rouod things are getting into a good sound shape and thera are few burinesses in the Domin\u2018on tbat can show as gatiefac- tory a sot ot books as a good wholesale grocer.In all the staple lines prices are unaltered, but a8 we showed last week, in speaking of sugars, the advance in raw sugar las forced up both granulated and yellows.Molasses and syraps are unaltered.Dried Fish.There is a stir among the fish dealèrs and rubbing of hands and mutual con- ! gratuiations a8 they find their harvest, i the Lenten season, approaching.It certainly is more of a treat for Johnny's fishermen than it is for Johnny himself, and there is no grippe around this year to put the bishops in a generous mo for generous dispensations and other privileges, sq the good time will be here | early in February.Already dealers are beginning to sort up their stocks which ate somewhat.short in many varieties.The misfortune is that in what one may call \u2018common\u2019 fish; there is not much chance of getting up a corner, for as Boou a prices go above what is considered toë proper basis, the faithful turn their backs on the trade of the apostles and commence to browse on hen fruit and dairy products till the dealer tires of bis corner and comes round to their ideas again.Fruit, ; The winter demand for fruit which used to be à very small matter in days gone by has under the fostering of fast trains and heatad cars risen up to8 surprising volume.The fruit trade of this city to-day has an amount of capii® invested in it, and employs a number 0 hands that would fairly astound the eo quiring citizen who has given no hecd the outside evidence of its growth.The trade this week is reported better than the two preceeding ones, collections are easy and quite up to expectations 80 if the volume of trade is comparative\u2019 small, that is just down to the seasoi There is nothing to note at presed Oranges are coming in freely and under more favorable weather late shipmen of lemons have been landed at New York and such portions ag werd pif chased for local requirements bave been forwarded here in splendid cond!\u201d rion.Cranberries have lost some of tbel firmnese.The lordly gobbler in whose company they take such deliglt beîné rather searcer in the neighborbn he apples there is no change, withailt o scare of short crops it looks us if = tbould yet manage to pull through t i eason without an absolute famine.Dry Goods.Wholerale merchants 1n some line port orders coming in fairly well, ¥ gr& hile others cons: yery little | Remittances than at this below the 1 pewalg on a: There is a \u20ac that terms c shortened if ton as li system follo irg goods snd dating from April nicious pol doned, but ! by mutual : anxiety amc outcome oi Lachlan Bre Co.How fa market de amount of a which those they should firms with be very seri state cf the | disprsition 3 row trouble.It was onl: firmness wh ms rket shou the leather t result tendi are ho'ding what, after « ation, they \u20ac bargains.T Jargest merc] lie more by leatber m able to ottai those wbich things into especially ti tiatory stege not at all uns reason why future should tained.Since lact « \u2018\u201cstiffening\u201d L inent.À cire zled some me is that the su regions of the largely outst beef consume ing.the pleth ne,ersary cor no signe of Le explacation i the cattle ma number and teriora:ed in quired by : Érices are ste is no immedi movement.Manufactor plain abous Io fact they a the y Were las back is that r over du?ace Irc There is no m rkst.Ady indicate that Lere there ha hors.Tin ar and the gs with expecta hope entering manufacturer: Dallgess pr: larly with reg the lower prc the lumber bt selffelr.Cust factorily met, failures wh'c: exercise a dis market.Ord and for fair st theless of the afford little gr tory estimate spring months Jewelr The holiday in these trade very day con ally wearing a better demanc doing and coll fair with here quired to hely { lime that is pe s try districts Air accounts s \u201caverage.Wa âre selliog wel which is alwa, ;

of the trustee board of the Dundas Centre Methodist Church last night the following resolution was passed with respect to Organist Birks and the offer which he received to go to Montreal :\u2014* That, having given careful considerations to the proposals of Mr, Birks\u2019 removal,from our church, we are unanimously of the opinion that the interests of the church (especially at present) make

with the purport of the resolution, promised to respect the wishes of the board and will remain with the church.\u201d -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Thanking Their Captain, A concert was held

FIGHT.A Young Montrealer Done to Death in an Ontario-street Saloon.THE SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRESTED Story as Told to The Herald by the Bartender\u2014The Principals Had Just Returned From Burying a Deceased Comrade, As the result of a quarrel which occurred In a saloon on Ontariv-street yesterday afternoon, at half past one o\u2019clock, a young man lies cold and stiff in death, awaiting the coroner's inquest this morning, which may tend to the discovery of the real cause of his untimely death, but which cannot exert, of course, any influer ce over the fate which,in the \u201cgreat beyond,\u201d will be hie.A young man named Lepine, who resided on Ontario-street, died a few days ago, and his remains were borne to the Catholic cemetery at Cote des Neiges yesterday morning.À large number of his friends and former acquaintances attended the funeral.On their return a number of them went into the saloon of Mr.Charles Lafleur, Unta- rio-street.Among them were Henri Gauthier and Antoine Spearson, tbe later of whom has been residing at 698 Sanguinet-street.Both were comrades of the man whose remains bad just been interred.Several rounds of drink were called for and consumed, but neither of the two young men appeared to be intoxicated.Gauthier was of an irritable, quarrelsome disposition, and he indulged in remarks which seemed to annoy many of those who were listening to him, particularly Spearson.A noisy discussion ensued, in which all the individuals present took a more or less vigorous part.Gauthier, whose temper had been very much ruffied by an observation that had teen made by Spearson and which be evidently considered to have been addressed especially to him, drew himself up fo his fall height and asked Gauthier whether he meant to insult him.The latter responded that he might take the remark in any sense he pleased, Blows were at once exchanged between the two men.Gauthier was seen to fall.He did not rise but his friends lifted him up and as he pressed his hands to his temples it was thought that he had received some injury to his head as a result of the fall.The har-tender produced a towel, which was wrapped round Gauthter\u2019s head.He staggered afterwards and would have fallen again had not those who surrounded him propped him up.\u201cAre you hurt?\u201d asked one of the bystanders.The young man made no reply, but simply closed bis eyes.He was carried to a room leading from the bar, and laid upon a sofa.He uttered no sound, and made no motion; and the belief was that he bad been merely stunned, and was, in addition, overcome by the drinks of which he bad just partaken.A move was made towards the bar, and the erstwhile mourners resumed their consolatory potations.One pereon, an intimate friend of Gauthier\u2019s, remained with him.He grasped his hand, called him by his name, asked him whether he was really hurt, and then, alarmed 2t the rigidity of the body of his comrade, ran out to the bar-man and requested him to send for a doctor.A messenger was at once despatched to the residence of a physician, and in about eight minutes afterwards the doctor made his appearance.He approached the motionless form on the sofa and with the quick instinct of his profession felt Gauthiers pulse.An expression of grave concern came over his features, and opening the young man\u2019s vest he paced his band over the left breast.\u201c Why,\u201d he gaid, looking around at those who had by this time crowded into the little room, * the man is dead!\u201d Consternation was depicted upon every face.\u201c Gocd God; 18 it possible?\u201d cried one of the men, rushing up to the doctor and staring at him almost fiercely, \u201c Yes, it is ouly too true,\u201d replied the doctor, \u201c What Lave you done to him?\u201d Explanations, denials, contradictions, followed, nove of which seemed to satisfy the physician.One of the onlookers stated tbat the dead man had suffered for years from heart disease and another asserted that cancer in the stomach was the malady with which he bad been aftlicted.The police at No.4 Station were communicated with and Speargon was placed under arrest.He protested his innocence of any desire to inflict injury upon his friend, and manifested deep regret at the {fatal result of the quarrel in which he had taken part.The body of the deceased was removed and an inquest will be held upon it this morning by Coroner Jones.A Herald reporter went to Lafleur\u2019s Saloon and interviewed the bar tender yesterday evening.\u201cThis is how 1t happened,\u201d he said.\u201cA number of the people who had attended the funeral of Lepine, came in bere for a drink on their way home.None of them were under the influence of liquor.A little by-play was indulged in and all appeared to be in good humor.Gauthier shortly afterwards grew quarrelsome, and was evidently vexed at some remark passed by Spearson.They came to blows and Gauthier fell.I did not see where Spearson struck him.When he was raised up he put his hands to his head, and thinking he had beea hurt there, I got a towel and put it around what I thought was the injured part.He Was placed on the lounge in the roow next to the bar.It seemed but a few minutes afterwards that I heard somebody say that Gauthier was dead.\u201d Maritime Miscellany.The Allan Mail 8.8.Caspian from Baltimore for Liverpool via Halifax and

his \u201cClementine\u201d dude song being equal to anything of the kind heard in this city for sometime.He fully deserved the double ea- core which he received.Now 2s to the musicians of the company, Miss Minnie Martin, the accom- pauist is a painstaking artiste and one who shows great ability.It is not often that a pianiste receives much praise, but in this cage Migs Martin deserve a special word.Mr.Ernest Lavigne,of this city played some of the accompaniments, but he is too well known to need comment.Mr, Franz Wagner, the celloist is every inch a musician.Without gaing into details it is bard to describe bis playing.He has an unfailing technique united with a truly musical style which places him at once with the best virtuosi.The concert was a success and Mrs.Thomson will be warmly welcomed back to Montreal.The Old Homestead, Tc-night the Burton Amateur Dramatic Club will present \u201cThe Old Homestead,\u201d at the Grand Trunk Literary Ine stitute,Sebastapol-street Point St.Charles.The play is à combination of humorous and pathetic pictures of New England life, interspersed with new songs, which will be rendered by such well-known vocalists as Mr.and Mrs.Stanley, Miss Herbert, tbe Dougherty Brothers and others.The part of \u201cTot,\u201d the little crossing sweeper will be taken by Miss Abbie Warner, Mrs.Nell Warner's talented young daughter, whose charming recitations have entertained 80 many at various charitable entertainments, and everything in the way cof scenery, etc., has been done to make this performance & BUCCE8S, The Theatres Dixey is baving a big run at the Academy this week, the audience last night being one of the best of the season, At the Royal * Vesper Bells\u201d is drawing good houses.The bill will be changed to-morrow night when \u201cOlJ Oaken Bucket\u201d will be produced.Next Week's Attractions, Cleveland\u2019s well-known combination of minstrels is announced for the Academy next week.The performance will be a change and will doubtless draw large audiences.\u201cIrish Luck\u201d will hold the boards at the Theatre Royal.The play is a pew one and is highly spoken of.Smoke Noisy Boys 1890 Cigars.# Opera Troupes in a Burning Hotel, BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE, Bostox, Jan.21.\u2014A fire shortly after midnight this morning caused a panic among the gnests at the Camden House on Tremont-street, a noted rendezvous for theatrical troupes.The members of the \u201cCrystal Blipper\u201d and \u201cShip Ahoy\u201d companies were at the hotel and escaped through tbe upper windows clad in their night clothes.The fire.was extinguished before doing much damage, and no one was hurt.CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, Twenty-Second Annual Meeting of the Humane Society.The Twenty-second annual mesting of the Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held yesterday afternoon at the office of the secretary.Mr.Geo.Durnford.Considerable interest was taken in the meeting oy the gentlemen present, among Whom werd Messrs.Charles Alexander, president;

as well as all other things that will edvamce the city morally, socially or financially.The New York House has been theroughly renovated and refitted throughout, and is under new management.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Russell Agriculturists.BY OUR SPECIAL SERVICE, METCALFE, Ont., Jan.21.\u2014The annual meeting of the Russell County Agricultural Society was held here to-day.The following officers and directors were elected: President, W.C.Edwards, M.P.Rockland;
