thas out work shall be executed in the most thorough and substantial manner, and that we will sell our instruments at as Jow a price as is consistent with n moderato profit.We determined to give our customers instruments tliat will defy competition from American manufactarers.And while wo do not fecl like harping to the public on the old string of patronizing Home Industry we do feel that if they will carefully and impartially examine our work Gey will not hesitate to say that we are producing & frst-class instrument.B@PTULLY WARRANTED FOR FIVER YEARS™GM| In ;

which inconvenienced Canadians a few weeks ago.\"The men demanded an advance in wagos.This was refused.At a cortain hour in the day, previously agreed upon, the engineers afiremen abandoned their engines wher.ovor they happened to be.Trains in transit were brought to a standstill, and the road was at once blocked from end to end with deserted locomotives.The damage to the corporation was considerable.The inconvenience to passengers was very great.On Wednesday an attempt was made to resume business, and passenger trains were run by men who do not belong to \u201cthe Brotherhood, as tho organization is called.This excites the iro of the strikers, who try to bribe the new men to quit work.Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, recommends that the Sioux Indians bo removed trom Dakotato the Indian Territory.He says:\u2014\u201cThere are Sioux who will never willingly leave Dakota, and these should be alluw- ed to remain, and must be made stock raisers.There are those who wish to become farmers, and theso must be given n country where agriculture is possible, It is said that if a few hundred friendly Sioux wero sent to the Indian Territory it will endanger the safety of the white settlers in the neighboring States.The Sioux Indian has no superior among the wild red men of America.He can be influenced by kindness.No wild man has greater respect for law.After the awful massacre of Minnesota, which stands without a parallel in American history, and which was the result of our robbery, fourteen hundred of the worst of these Sioux fled to Canada.They were given n reservation.They have been loyal to the Canadian Government and law abiding.The Sccretary of the Interior for the Dominion says that when it was thought best to have a portion of them removed to a now reserve, some of \u2018their white neighbors objected because they bad been found so usofal,\u2019 Lieut.Cummings, with Co.C,, attacked a small Indian camp on the 23rd nesr Dead Wood.The Indians fled

Hall, this village.Tho evening was fine, but the sleighing being bad many at a distance were proventy ed from attending.The hall, fowovor, was well-filled.The brethren had decorated\u2019 it with considerable labor.Over the platform was an overgreen arch, interiwinod with orange ribbons, and having in its contre n large picture of King William crossing the Boyne.Frum the contre of thy hall bung the Lodge colors, and festoons of évergreens wero arraugod aropnd the windows, The Maatgr the Lodge, De, Mar, shall, took the chair, and tbe programme was proceeded with, tho Brass Band playing .8 March, in good style, tho' the drums, in this and other pieces, woro too deafening | for a hail with so low-pitched a ceiling, The choir of the Methodist church, lod by Mrs.Dansmoro on the organ, sang \u201c Our Cana.jdiau Ilome,\u201d eliciting a round of applauzg The Rev.G.II.PorrEr, of Durham, was then introduced, and who began by refor- ring to the easo of the Oka Indians, declaring we stood in the presence of the greatest possible wrong dono to an innocent peoplo, and which, in spite of all offorts in the courts, is still unredressed.Whatever we may think of what wus done iu à legal light, we were presented with the fact, that a certain ecclosiastical body, which had n claim to the lot on which the Oka Protestant church was built, had perpotrated the terrible deed of destroying that house of wor- ship\u2014of desccrating that house of God.The Seminary did not nood tho small piece of land on which the church stood, they had enough of land everywhere for all their purposes, ko that wo might have oxpectod from them, in Christian charity, that, when they had nothiug to lose, they would have left the church alone, It was a wanton act of hostility to our creed, a high-bandod work of oppression towards the Olas, who lad our brotherly sympathy and our strongest protest aguninst their treatment.Lie morm- bers of the Orange Association, pledged to support civil and religious liberty, with so fair a record in the past and whose future bade so promisingly, must necoessarily sympathise with the Okas and join in cxpros- sions of hatred of their usage.Standing in the presence of the facts of tho pust six months, irrespective of the Oka case, wo have cause enougl, as a young poople, to combine togother to defend the liberties bought by the blood of our forcfuthors, It was frequontiy asked, What mecossity is there for Orangeism?Episcopalians would not be justified in combining to put down Pre:byterianism, or Presbyterians to com: bine to put down Episcopalianism, and if you would not sympathise with such 2 move ment, how can you justify Protestants on- rolling themselves in the Orange organization ?Catholics urge that, with our pocu- liar doctrines of toleration, wo are not justified in combining in such an Association to assault tho Roman Catholic.faith and inter- eats.This plausible objection is founded on a misapprehension.Orangemen do not combine against the Church of Romo because of its religious doctrines, for, despite its errors, it is a branch of our common Christianity, but because that Church las left the domain of religion and taken to the civil, the political, field.Standing on the defensive, thoy seck to prevent tho spread of a ~ystem injurious to our national pros- yperity and to our liberties.lo would sub- I stantiate the charge that the influence of the Church of Rome was fatal to national { prosperity by reference to such plain facts as that, whereas the 3 per cent.consoles of the English Government were never worth less than 92, those of France, Spain, and Italy were quoted at from 50 to 60, The socuritics of Protestant countries were in good repute and easily negotiable, while those of Catholic nations were in disrepute and it was hard to find purchasers for them, and this despite the fact that in, natural resources, Catholic countrios have frequently the advantage.Contrast the sianding of England, Prussia, the United States, with that of France, Spain, or Austria, and it will be seen that wherever Catholicism prevails the country goes down in the national scale.Thisis an important fact for us.We are laying the foundations of a now.pation, and wo are right in entertaining a well-founded suspicion of an influence which has ruined other nations and which may ruin our own.Île would also indict the influence of the Church of Rome ns being hostile, if not tent of five days in ail, for the pu of catching and destroying the hoppers tnd thoir eggs.The labour service ma commuted by the furnishing of a substitute, or the payment of 81 a day, which is to be expended in hiring substitutes.Persons refusing to work or pay-are fined $23 a day.A hundred thousand dollars is appropriated from the State Troasury for the purpose of the Bill.Teviotdale Farmers\u2019 Club that the mice, vermin baving disa ed as m ious] oy ing disappeared ysteriously be | tion ie to kerp the people in

Catholic countrios the disposi.in this fact we have a well-founded reason | for Opposing that charch.He might also! ct it, as boing hostile to constitutional government and loyalty'to the head of the pation, it being, in tho words of the Rev.| Company ae.floonoe to foster absolutism in the government of the count It was notorious that the sbeolutiom the Church of Romo was complete, ao that, where it has the ower, no govornment exists but one after its own heart.All ideas of just and constitutional government and of personal free dum have been born of Protestantism and are fostered Ly the Protestant spirit, and nok 4, alr le instance of a feature in the caupq of froodom can be found as having been developed in a Roman Catholic coun- wy.\u2018The French Rovolution was no ex- qeplion, for Lbe ideas of (reedom beld by its leaders had been derived from the United States.The very spirit of despotism sits enthronett in Catholicinm, and Is fatal to civil and religions liberty wherever it pre vails.There is Bot 8 single sovereign who £ues to tbo confossional who can claim to be titutional r he puts tho direc tion of his once the hands of an omissary of the l\u2019opo's, so that, if anything arises which conflicts with Papal interests, constitutional government hus to go to the wall.He pointed out how Uishop Lange vin's mandemont denied the right to Par.liamont to legislate on ot 4 subject where the intorosts of the Church of Rome are concorned however romotely, and how it laid down the rule that whore the oath to the State conflicted with obedience to the Church, the oath was to be disregarded.It oaths wore generally so looked upon, all confidence between man and man would be gone.Is the Orange body calculated to stem the tide of danger which threatens us?It is snid, it is & usoloss body, but bis own experience was different.You could not get so large a number of men togother without some black sheep, but, as a rule, its members roflected credit upon it.It ie also naked, What bave Orangemen ever done ?lle would answer, that the Orango Associa tion has proved the salvation of lreland to Great Britain, and it is because of its influence today that that dospicable con- apirney, Home Rule, has not bad the success is promoters anticipated, and which will be ultimately delcated Ÿ it.You may admit it has boen useful in Ireland, but ask, why import it into Canada, with ail Îts Old Country prejudices arising out of long past events ?Tho dangers is Canada to civil liberty age tbe rame as in Ireland, only differing in circumstance, and we may there- fere hope that the Orange Association will save us here ns it has dono in ligiand.What of the Orangemen of Ontario ; do thoy not support the party which is allied with the Hierarchy ?The explanation he Leliuved was ono that did credit to thoir rood intentions, at lenst.They looked on the grits as rcbels and annexationists at heart, and therefore had been lod to support the Conservatives.[Heo had, in his own county, combatted this error.The bost proot of the usefulness of ()rangeman, was the hatred entertained for thom by the Ro- mish church.What is tho duty of Orange- men ?Ho belioved it was to organize ro- sistance to invasions on our civil and re ligious righta by the Church of Home; to acl as an executive-committee for Protestants generally.it did not become them to waste their strength in ridiculing Ontholics, in processions, or tho working of 1beir society ; but to dovote themsciver to studying the questions betwoen Ultramontanism and Protestantism, and to consider tho best means of meeting the usurpations of that dangerous power.(Applause.) The choir then sang \u201cSound the Battle Cry\" with marked effect, followed by tho Brass Band playing the \u201cPrussian March.\u201d \u2018The Rov.James Watson, after romark- ing on the excellence of the music, express od his approval of the axiom of the Orange body, Slow to take offence, and give just cause for offence.That was ex- most useful rule particalarly in contending with the evils which the Orange Sucioty de- votod itself to.It was not proper, as Mr Porter had said, to ridicalo or laugh at the pecaliar acts of Roman Catholics, nor, tho they were often most provoking, to lose onr There were two tempera with them.var in which we should especially op the pretensions of thd Papacy in this Province.First, by a sturdy, unflinching support of our civil authorities.The Papacy here claims the power to overenle the civil magistrate, to dictate to jodges and electors, never to collent ; the very meeknens of wisdom; a yoass be was on board the Liver pool sieamer, and thai, on entering ugh Foyle at night, rockets, red, white, and blue, were sent for à pilot, who came on board.He no opportanity uocing him that night, bat next saw him walking on the bridge, a fine specimen of an Irishman, tallor than himself, sturdy, ruddy, and with s ine backbone.Joiaing him 1 , \u201cLa it true, pilot, you are proving unworthy of your asostort ?° \u201cWhat do you mean 7\u2019 he aid.\u201cls it true you are bocoming lukewarm in Ireland to the throne and the Bible ' \u201cNo, «ir, our watchword is still that shouted at the gates of Derry\u2014No surrender.\u201d Irishmen he (the speaker) believed were as true as ever to the grand old cause and ns ready to pill their blood tor it as when they rushed down the slopes and through the waters of the Boyne under the eagle eye of him who could control a cabinet as well as direct the opor- ations of the battle-field.( Applause.) The «ame spirit was in them as in that of the piper of 6 Highland regiment, who, taken prisoner, was led before Napoleon and asked Ww play a pibroch, then as advance, but when asked to play a retreat, declared he never knaw what it was to retreat.1t wa time for us to understand our position, Wo guard our common Protestantism aml constitutional liberty, or scon Ultramottan- ind will apread ovor us its raven wings, with the priests exercising their bansfal influence over our homes, our hearths, our Parliament.Protestants are as loyal so-day to these grand old landmarks (with which Orangemen are ro closely idemified, and among whom he was sure there was not a single Lundy) as those nf tho past, and are prepared to seal their devotion with their blood, (Applause.)

Charlevoix election case, which has been finally decided.Tn the Fall of 1875 the election of Dr.Tremblay, a Liberal, for Charlevoix was declared void, and a new one ordered.The Doctor offered himself for re-election and was opposed by that ingrained Conservative, the Hon Mr Lange- vin.The priests espoused the cause of the latter, and used their influence so effectively that he was retarned, whereupon Dr.Tremblay contested his olection on tho ground of clerical influence.The trial took place last sammor before Judge Routhier, when it was proven that tho priests had interfered with the electors in the most flagrant manner.Thus, one priest, curé Cinq Mars, declared to his parishioners that «to vote for Mr Tremblay was a mortal sin ;\u201d curé Sirios compared Liberals to fulse Christs and false prophets ; curé Langlais told his hearers it wag & mortal sin to vote for Mr Tremblay, and that it would be better for them at the hour of death to have followed the banners of Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel; and the curé of the parish of St.Fidele spoke to the same effect, adding that if any one died after voting for Mr Tremblay \u201c he would not be entitled to the services of the priest.\u201d That a great many habitants had been frightened by these threats from voting for Dr.Tremblay was abundantly substantiated.Judge Routhier took a long while to consider his jadgment, finally delivering it last November.He ruled, 1st, That the prieats of the Church of Rome in this Province enjoy exceptional privileges by virtue of certain treaties, and 2d, That being members of a divine institution, éven if they had erred, they cannot be held amenablo to a secular court.On these two grounds, he held that be, or any secular judge, was incompetent to take cognizance of what priests of the Church of Rome did.On the point that a layman could not sit in jadgment on what a priest uttered he was particularly decisive, alleging \u201cJesus Christ had con- « ferred upon tho Church and her ministers \u201cpowers which do not belong to simple lay- \u2018\u2018men,\u201d and that there was practically no restriction to the scope within which those powers of the priests could be exercised, for, to use his own words, ¢ Wherever the morals \u201c of people or of individuals are in question, \u2018\u201c wherever the interests of souls are con- « cerned, there the church extends her do.\u201c main.\u201d The such a judgment should ba allowed tostand was out of the question, for if this really was the law of the land, thon the Province and ail its interests were under the control of the priesthood, and the snpre- macy of the Queen aud our Parliament became a figment.Dr.Tremblay appealed to the Supreme Court at Ottawa, and its decision was rendered on Wednesday.Judges Taschersan and Ritchie delivered the judgment of the court, quashing Routhiee's de cision.Both judgments are singularly able and exhaustive, and as clear and decided in tone ss could be wished.The pretensions of Judge Romthier aro scouted.Speaking of his allegations regarding the force of * treaties, Judge Taschereau points out that the enly treaty in existence, that of 1763, merely confers on the priests sad Catholics generally the privileges allowed by British laws in the toleration of their faith.Judge Ritohie enters more minutely into the matter, snd demonstrates, by quotations from the treaty and acts of the Imperial Parliament, that the priests of the Province of Quobes stand exactly on the same footing ss - those'of Ireland or any otber part of the Empire.He summed up, under this head, as follows : or the Catholic religion was guaranteed to the inhabitants of the Province of Quebec, so far as the laws of Groat Britain permitted, subject to the king's supremacy.Every member of that church, like every member of evory other churob, was subordinate to the law.There was wo man in the Dominion so great as to be above, the law, or 80 humble as to be beneath its notice.So long as a man, whether clerical or lay, lived under the Jucons protection, he must obey the laws of the land, and if he infringed them, he was amenable to the legal tribunals of the country, the Queen's Courts of Jus.tico.All clergy of overy denomination had all the froodom and liberty that could possibly bolong to laymen, but no other or greator.\u201d This interpretation of tho law really decides Judge Routhier's second pretension, that priosts, by virtue of powors thoy pro- tend to derive from the Saviour, stand upon a different logal footing from laymon.Judge Taschereau demonstrates that our laws make no such distinction, and that if a priest offends our courts are competent to try him, Routhier had alleged that a priest could only be tried by his Bishop or as his church provided.Judge Taschereau scouts the idea, and doclares the law of the Dominion recognizes no tribunals save the Queon\u2019s courts, and Judge Ritchie quotes, as ox- pressing tho law on the point, tho words of an English jurisconsult, that\u2014 «'Thoro can be no doubt that if the rule of any Church has for its object the exemption of the clergy from secular authority or their immunity from civil jurisdiction or civil punishment, it would be our duty at once to doclaro that such a rule was utterly illegal.Upon this there ought to bo, ns there is, no doubt, No Church, no community, no public body, no individual in the realm can be in tho loast above the law, or exempted from the authority of its civil or criminal tribunals.The law of the land is supreme, and we recognize no authority as superior or equal to it.Such over has been and is, and I hopo will ever continue to bo, a principle of our Constitution.\u201d Having thus settled the points that priests have no different standing in tho eyes of the law from laymen, and that the priests of Quebec have no greater privileges than those of Ireland or Ontario, tho Judges come to consider whether those of Charlevoix had broken the Electoral law, and, if so, whether their conduct should void the election.Judge Taschereaa spoke first and he held the petitioner had proved his case.Ho said the sermons of the Charlevoix priests during tho canvass, \u201c Accompanied with threats and declarations that it was a matter of conscience to obey tho clergy, were of a nature to induce a large number of electors who were under the nafpssity of hearing these sermons San- day after Sanday to believe thoy would be committing a serious sin, or would be deprived of their sacraments, if they did not act in accordanco with those instructions.Such acts must be qualified as acts of undue influence of the worst kind, because these declarations and threats were made from the pulpit, and in the name of religion, and addressed to men well disposed to follow the voica of their enré, and to men of little or no education.He understood that such sermons would not influence well-educated voters, but was of opinion that they had in- fluonced a majority of the uneducated clec- tors.A general system of intimidation has been proved, and the electors could not be considered as having had the free oxercise of their franchise.\u201d.The principle laid down by law *\u201c was that the priest bad no right to appeal to the fears of his parishioners, or to say that if you vote for such a one you commit a sin or incur the censure of the Church.\u201d This being the law, he had only one duty to perform\u2014to quash the clection.Judge Ritchie went into the matter fully, and we quote the following statement of the law by bim because so clear : « Clergymen, and I draw no distinction\u2014 my observftions I wish diatinetly to be an- derstood ss applying to all churches and denominations alike\u2014clergymen, I say, are citizens, and have all the freedom and liberty that can possibly belong to laymen, but no other or greater.The fullest and freest discussing the fitnoss of the candidates, of the policy of the Government, of the merits of the Opposition, of any or all of the public questions of the day, can be denied to neither priest nor layman ; but while there may be free and fall discusston, solicitation, advice, porsuasion, the law says, in language not to be mistaken and not to be disregarded, there shall be no undue influence or intimidation to force an elector to vote or to restrain him from voting in a particular manner.The layman cannot use undue influence or intimidatjon, noither can the priest.A clergyman has no right, in the pulpit or out, by threatening any damage, temporal or spiritual, to restrain the liberty of & voter 80 as to compel or frighten him into voting or abstaining from voting otherwise than as ho freely wills.If ho does it, in the eye of the law this is undue influence.But, as intimated before, legitimate influence can be denied neither to the clergy.nor to the laity.\u201d Taking up the evidence, the Judge shows that not only were the utterances of the priests of the nature of undue influence, but that the pastoral letter of the Hierarchy of 22d Sept, 1875, comes under that head.It might be said, that it is hard to hold Mr Langevin responsible for what the priests did.From the evidence, the Judge points out that he did not coneent to stand as à candidate until ho had assurod himself of the support of the priests.In the witness- box Mr Langevin said : = \u201cI convinced mywelf that the clergy of the county were in my favor, and would not bave run bad it not been 80, as 1 would not wish to have been elected against the will of the clergy.\u201d At one of his meetings it was asserted Mr Langevin told the electors that they were obliged to obey the voice of their pastor, and answer to the call of the bishops.\u201d On being asked had ho actually said this, Mr Langevin replied \u201c I don\u2019t know whether I stated it on that ocoomsion, but it was de- Under these Aots (ibe treaty and I povial statutes) wo 000 dat the Saarios of oidedly my opinion ; aed if I did not thon say so I must have said it elsowhere.\u201d All this, in the Judge's opinion, constituted the priests Mr Langevio's agents, and for their acts he must suffer in so far ns to bave bis election declared invalid, tho\u2019 the court considered thore was sufiiciont doubt not to declare him disqualified.The judgment, save in not disqualifying Mr Langevin, is an ominently sutisfactory ono, tho\u2019 we do not believe it will bave any marked practical results.The priests now.know that they cannot bully their parishion- | ors from the altar, but that is not to say | they will cease to frighten thom into voting a8 thoy desire.Driven from the pulpit, thoy will exercise their pernicious intimidation privately\u2014by house-to-house visitation and in the confessional.Tho evil is only driven under the surface; it is not uprooted.Dr.Tremblay is again a candidate for Char.lovoix, and is again opposed by Mr Lange vin.Dospite the decision in his favor, we look for naught else than the Doctor's defeat, which, however, will bo effected, this time, in 80 subtle a manner that he will have no evidence on which to baso a fresh appoal.Again, we are not sure that the priests have much cause to exercise any ro- straint in their denunciations.Tho costs of the suit have been 86,000.To nineteen defeated candidatos out of twenty, the possibility of having to pay such a bill would deter their fyling a petition, oven if convinced they had a clear case of having lost their election by clerical intimidation.As we havo often said, we do not look to decisions of our courts to remove the evil incubus which blights this Province.We look to tho romoval of that incubus by the bringing about of such a state of affairs as will ensure the enlightenment of tho people and the establishment of a sound state of public opinion.Something, however, is gained.The view tho Gleaner, among others, has long contended for, that the Church of Rome has no peculiar status in this Province guaranteed by treaty, is now sustained by our highest court, and all that reserve, as to doing violence to sacred promises in the past, may be thrown to the winds.The complete disestablishment of that Church, is the end to which every one, who wishes to sce the Province prosper and civil and religious liberty forever secured to it, should bend bis energies.The privilege to have the machinery of our courts to collect its tithes and taxes must be abrogated, and the laws repealed which confer the power on its institutions to hold land in mortmain and give to its bishops the distribution of our educa tional funds.When the Church of Rome has the same standing here as in Ontario, when it is a body depending for its support on tho voluntary contributions of its people, when its priests have no legal standing different from Protestant ministers, and no control over any educational, charitable, or reformatory institution which receives a dollar out of the public chest, then we will gee her people rise in knowledge and in social standing, and hold their threats of divine vengeance for voting as thoy sco proper in just contempt.Ox Friday the count of the electoral vote was concluded by Congress, and Hayes and Wheeler declared elected.On Sunday evening, Hayes took the oath of office, and on Monday was inaugurated with duc ceremony, a military force being kept in readi- tho new President read an admirable inaugural address.He declared his intention to reform abuses and to act for tho interests of the country and not for those of party.He spoke in favor of an early resumption of specie payments.The Democrats have acted in a way which must materially increase their popularity.Tho\u2019 believing, and we admit not without cause, that their candidate was elected, they have deforred to the cepted the situation.In an address to the people, they recount all the tacts from their point of view and give their reasons for not resisting the inauguration of Hayes.All immediate danger is happily at an end, but fresh difficultios may bo expected.The Houso is strongly Democratic, and it will thwart the President in every way, while South Carolina and Louisiana havo still their rival Governors and Legislatures, furnishing the President and his Cabinot with a most perplexing problem to solve.pr In the minutes of the Ormstown Council it is stated the petition, praying that a vote be taken on the Dunkin act, was withdrawn.This was done in consequence of the petition being informal, but another was placed in tho bands of the Secretary, Col.McEachern, Alleging that the second petition was incomplete, he said he would not be authorized in granting its prayer.By four of the councillors his course is sustained.On Saturday afternoon a meoting of the rate.payors is to be held at Durham to consider the matter.The opposition of those in favor of granting licenses is somewhat factious.When a sufficient number of rate payers come forward and ask for a right the Iaw allows them, that a vote of the parish bo taken as to whether licenses be granted or not, the hooest and manly way is to graat their request, and let the ratepayers decide the question at the poll.To baffle the petitioners by legal quirks is a course that all straight-forward men must abhor, The councillors should recollect that they are the servante of the ratepayers; not * ness.Evorything passed off peaceably, and P decision of the Commission and loyally ac- | P ie their masters.Much agitation and bad fceling will be avoided by the Colonel doing what the law gives him the power to do,\u2014 granting a.poll without reference to the Council.As a prominent pablic man, he bas a reputation for British fair-play to maintain, which his many frieads outside tho parish, who cannot be oxpected to under stand tho squabbling within its bounds over this vory matter, would be sorry to see sullied.If the ratepayers decide at the poll they do not want the Dankin act the Tom- perance peoplo will bow to their verdict, but they aro not be expected to rest quietly on tho decision of a few in office.We are sure many who differ from us in Ormstown on the Temperance question, will agree that tho fair and just course is to have a poll and s0 lot tho ratepayers decide for themselves._ PARLIAMENT has beon in session for three weeks and has had time to debate a great many trifling matters, but bas not had a word to say about tho Bishop of Rimouski\u2019s suspension, from the privileges of their church, of Judges Maguire, Caron, and McCord for having given 9 decision in accordance with the laws of the land and not the interests of the Hierarchy.Is it not imperative on tho Ministry of the day to seo that thoso who administer justico are supported in the discharge of their duty ?If the Ministry is afraid, why docs not somo independent member speak out ?Tho Globe, on Saturday, referred to tho low stato of public opinion in Bonaventure.Suppose Mr Mackenzie gives a tono to the opinions of tho habitants of that county by telling them, from his place in Parliament, that their judgo was right in what he did, and their bishop wrong.It is rather hard to condemn the habitants for crouching under the bishop's threats whon the Premier and his colleagnes are paralyzed (by the same power ?) into silence.Is there not a lack of independent public opinion in the House of Commons as well as in Bonaventure?Then, what about Judge Routhier?.After the decision of the Supreme Court, there is not a shadow of doubt as to bis having been guilty of a grave misdemeanor against our laws.Is a Judge who denies the supremacy of the Crown to be continued on the Bench, and the proporties and persons of loyal subjects to be left at his mercy ?What is our Minister of Justice, the Hon Mr Blake, thinking about that he does not impeach him ?Docs he mean to say, that a Judge who refuses to administer the law of the land, and who holds that there is a power above it, fit to be a judge in a British Pro- vinco ?[It surely cannot be that thisdumb- ness is owing to fear of the influence of the Hierarchy, for the Globe tells us, it is only poor habitants who wince undor that.Thero is onlightoned public opinion at Ottawa and in Ontario generally.The Ministry, the Globe, and the onfiro party- pross of that Province do not fear the Church of Romo ; oh, dear no, only they are afilict- od, at times, by a singular blindness and most unaccountable fits of silence.HINCHINBROOK

A vote of thanks was moved by Mr Som.ervillo and seconded by the publisher of the Gleaner.In supporting it, Tho Rev.J.J.Casey said ho had had the pleasure of hearing Dr.Beers locturo, the previous evening, at Athelstanyon a subject vory interesting to bim as an Irishman, do- scribing his visit to Ireland.To-night he had been deeply interested by what he had said, and coincided with almost all ho had advanced.As to the Oka Indians, their case showed that they, like all who loft the Church of Rome in this Province, had to suffer persecution.They had a just claim on our sympathies.Wo have occupied their land, and it was a duty to seo they wore not driven altogether from the soil of their forefathers.As an Irishman, he felt that England had not always been just to his own countrymen, and he felt the more, therefore, when he saw the attempt made to deprive the poor Indians of tbeir own land.It was the first time ho had heard Chief Joseph, and he was delighted to be present.Ho would bo happy to aid the Indians in every way, and if the people of Huntingdon desired he should give a lecture for their benefit, he was at their service.(Applause.) Dr.Beers having acknowledged tho compliment, Chief Joseph and his brothor Tom sang a hymn in their own tongue, and tho mooting closed by the Rev.Mr Watson pronouncing tho benediction, By the four lectures tho sum of $70 was realized for tho relief of the Okas.HUNTINGDON'S RELIEF TO THE OKA INDIANS.Ox Saturday evening Chief Joseph and his brother Tom came from Oka to this village for the remainder of the contributions collected for the relief of the Indians who are being persecuted on account of their having abandoned Romanism for Protestantism.As noted in the preceding account of Dr Boers\u2019 lecture, tho Chief took part in the procecdings, and, on Sunday, accompanied the Rev S.G.Phillips, who has taken so deep an interest in the Okag, to Hendersonville, when he addressed the Mothodist congregation of that place.It had boen thought well to have a public meeting in Huntingdon to give an opportunity to the Chief of addressing the peoplc and thanking them for what they had done.As the most central place, the uso of St Andrew\u2019s church was requested for the occasion, and, with fraternal good-feeling, granted by its pastor, the Rev J.B.Muir.Altho' the announcement was brief, the charch, on Monday evening, was filled to tho door.The Rev Mr Muir took the chair, and after devotional exercises, stated tho objoct of the meoting.Tho Indians were boing persecuted, and until the law-courts gavo them their rights, they had to depend on tho charity of Protestants, who, without distinction, he was sure, would support thom, The Okas had a particular claim on the Methodists, but they also had ono on Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and all kindred bodies, for thoy were Protestants, and the opportunity was furnished us of showing our sympathy and the substantial unity of Protestantism.Mr Muir spoke at somo length, and was followed by the Rev Mr Watson, who dwelt briefly on the duty wo owed the Okas and the aborigines generally to raise thom up in the scale of civilization and give them tho Gospel.The CHEF said: My Christian friends, I am very happy to be here to-night to teil some very carious story, and samo timo without fear, for I am amongst frionde.Try and say @nto you about first twolvo years of my life; not very interesting ; my father and mother go away evory fall to Ontario, to Rideau, because priest say keep bush alive (i.o.not clear the land) for no uso Indian to work as farmer.Nearly every Indian then was a hunter.When 13 Fours of age priest took mo to his house.by ?Try to make me a priest like him soif.Sent mo to common-school for b years, and then to collego for over 3 years, Learnt Fronch and Latin in college, and English only once p week.Half an hour lesson every Thursday.Not onough.1f priest come to collego, have holiday, and English ut out.Priest come very ofton, (The hief went on to narrate his difficulties with the texts of Scripture, and his conversations with Curé Cuot, ending in his leavin in consequence of tho priest's threat that bo would be put out.) Go back to Oks, when Seminary took ali land and money that belong to Indians.In 1868 Indians look to make other chief, Or old chief could not rend ot write, and they choose mo.Tell them I am very glad to bo your chief, but pro let ask yon before take \u201c to let priests go and to Kce united ourselves.Some Indians ask, What do for our souls without peiest?Not ago, last Wednesday, a young person, 19 or\u2018 ms ha) gm gh (Nea 1m \u2014 a LT rtd = \u2014 mr 4 - \u2014 \u2014 Me know,\u201d 1 say \u201cyou have one Father in and in comparative combat, We have un- the Graham discharge along the by-roed at| CanaxaL Coura\u2014This Coart met at neutral vessel, and abolished privatesring,| Washington, March\u2018 2\u2014The Army À heaven t Yes, bat\u2014but\u2014they say, no|doubled proof that the men sre sober and MoCoig's Corners, s 7 Baaubarnois on the lat, and tho' there wero | was rejected.- Spesshes in sup of the propristion Bill passed the House at s.d6 mure.(Laughbter.)

Say to Indian, leave priest, he pretend more power than God.God not make Himself every day; priest make maybe 200 gods in a morning.(Laughter.) Poor Indian believe in that system.Will try to make more Indians Protestants next summer ; move to Caughnawaga to fight priest.(Applause.) The chief repeated how differently the Indians believed now than when they were Catholics, and again thanked thie people of Huntingdon for their kindness to his Indians.' With his brother Tom the Chief sang a hymn in an car-splitting tone.Principal MoGregor moved, seconded by Mr J.H.Gilmore: That this meeting, in recognizing the great liberality of the community in responding to the appeal on behalf of the Oka Indians, feels that the services of thoso who collected and took care of tho contributions deserves special acknowledgment, and therefore returns thanks to Wm, Blair, Hinchinbrook, Major Gardner, Henry Seely, Benjamin Douglas, John H.Brown, James Johnston, Samuel Lamb, Robert Kolly, Thomas Adams, Samuel Dunsmore and Hiram Seely, and, above all, to IR, B, Pinhay for his self-sscrificing exertions in making the effort à success.The motion was carried unanimously.A collection was then taken up for the Oka Sunday-school, to buy books or clothes for the children as thoy needed, amounting to $19.50.The singing of the Doxology and the pronouncing of the Benediction by the Rev.Mr Watson closed tho meeting.Chief Joseph is a fine specimen of the Indian, muscular and active.He is 32 yoars of age, and, as may be inferred from his statements in his addresses is tolerably well oducated.Ile writes French with facility, and knows something of Latin, It is only since his convorsion to Protestantism that he has applied himself to learn English, and despite his age, be will yet speak it with fluency.At presont it is very broken, and, eked out with gestures, is very amusing.He is evidently a man of considerable force of character.On Tyesday morning, the Chief took his departuro amid the good wishes ofall.The contributions reccived filled three sleighs, and must have weighed over 3 tons, and, exclusive of the money, were worth ovor 00.Better even than tbe contributions themselves, was the good spirit with which they were given, the people contributing Rladly and as if they were happy to have tho opportunity of doing something to help the poor, persecuted tribe.OF th@néed for all that has been sent there is no question.here are over 40 families, numbering 200 souls, who have nothing save what is given them.For the simple wares they make there has been no sale this winter and work the majority have found it impossible to get.The Catholic farmers in tho vicinity will Not hire them and, even in lumbering and Sheng, the prejudices of Catholic Canadians often deprive them of the opportunity of earning their bread.It is earnestly to aoped that the roue of the tribe may take stops to ge industry amon, them that will keep ( it employment The most we can do, is to print the contri.bations sent M directly to Mr Pinbay and the names of the collectors.To and Mrs Pinhay too mach credit eannot be given for the great trouble they have taken in roceiving and king the contributions and for their kindness to the Chief and bis brother, Wo ee Trout River, 17 Ibs an ;

and, secondly, tho salaries given in Orm- stown average $19.80 a month, while in Godmanchester thoy only average 814.15.The cxcellence of the teachers in a municipality will vary with the salaries given them, pretty exactly.If you want a $200 teacher, you can got ono woll worth the money.If you want a hundred dollar teacher, you may got ong who may do harm to your children, for which a thousand dollars might be poor eompensation.The supply of wood at each school throughout the municipality was most satisfactory, and thore were more wood-sheds than in many other places.But I think I noticed in somo schools the lamentable absence of a closet.A box of * prepared chalk for biack- boards\u2019 would be a great economy if divided among the schools.The lump chalk scratches the paint off the blackboards very fast.Some of the blackboards wanted painting.A gallon of Liquid Slating for blackboards, procurable for $1.50 at Dawson Bros., Montreal, which paints 80 square feet a dead black, is the most oconomical investment for this purpose.The schools, with tbe exception of No.G, were well supplied with good maps.No school should be without a large map of the two Hemis- heres, (price $3.76), while a map of the minion is a valuable and useful adjunct.I would make favorable mention of Nos.IT and XI, as schools where singing was practised.This is a great advantage to the scholars, as 1 have endeavored to prove in my work on tho Art of Teaching.The study of Sacred History secms sadly ueglected, considering that the schools as et inspected by me have been distinctly rotestant schools.1n four schools, out of 49 children over ten years of age who were asked, only one knew the names of Adam and Eve's three sons ; only 13, tho name of Esau's brother ; only 21, the village where Christ was born.In each case, the history or description of the porson or placo whose name was asked, was, first of all, recounted at length, 1 would strongly recommend that taws be served out to each teacher, to take the place of rulers, which aro as dangerous as they are antiquated.I was not as well supplied with prizes this trip (through exceptional circumstance), as | bope to be in fature.In three schools I awarded no priges, as, in spite of my warnings, there were cuses of \u2018copying\u2019 in my written examinations.In ome school, No.1V, a boy gave his age in wrongly.1 thought it wise to refuse him all futore chance of a prise, although the mistake may bave been made inadvertently.The children who passed first in the schools as yet inspected were as follows : District No.1, Frod.Gibson ; No.2, Ellen Sparrow; No.3, Amanda Robson; No.4, Mary Jane Freeland ; No.5, James Stark; No.6, David Bigger and Mary Ellen Murphy (equal).aye aiso examined the way in which your Secretary Treasurer keeps his books, and find it satisfactory in every respect.: The Rev.Mr Eason, assistant on the Huntingdon Circuit, preached in the Methodist charch on Sanday for the first time.Mr Eason comes last from Quebec.At the meeting of the Hinchinbrook \"position contended that the Council a petition, signed by 46, was handed in, praying that the no-license by-law be rescinded.As tho statute specifics that no ings can be entertained until it has: Friday, that England take tbe earliest op- n in force one year, the petition was withdsawa The County Council meets on Wednesday.! mingford, on Hallowe'en, belonging to one In Hall of Valley- field against Baker, accused was found guilty teneo would be given to-d The case of .will preach a sermon to the young, in the Methodist Church ;

Scriver not prosent.THURSDAY.A motion with the view of imposing a duty on coal, so ns to benefit the Nova Scotia coal-mastors, led to a long debate, involving all the pros and cons of Protection.The Ministry opposed taxing fuel, and\u2019 showed that a duty, sufficient to koep American coal out of tho country, would raise the price of coal in Ontario and Montreal $1.50 a ton, which would be hard on houscholders and ruinous to manufacturers who used steam power, Finally it was agreed a committee should be appointed to enquire into the stato of the coal-miping industry, but not to have power to recommend a duty.FRIDAY.On the now dulics coming up for con- sidoration, Sir John A.Macdonald strongly çondomned them and argued tho Ministry should havo levied the duties on articles which would have bencfited some of our industries by giving them protection.He again denounced the policy of the Government in postponing a portion of the public works.Mr Mackenzio asked Sir John to como to facts and say what articles ho would have taxed instead of toa and beer.The experience of the United States showed the fallacy of tho idea that high.dutios were of real benefit to manufacturers.Tho inconsistency of the Opposition was shown in tho faet, that while they denounced the tax on tea, they were eager to tax the coal that boiled it, the sugar that swbotoned it, and the loaf that went along with it.A number of members followed, many complaining bitterly of the tax on boor.Tho debate, at a lato hour, was adjourned to Tuesday.MONDAY.A long debate took place over a motion by tho Opposition regarding Northern Railway Commission.The Northern Railway was due the Government and could not pay, and tho Ministry appointed a Commission to investigate its affairs.They found that much of its money had been wasted, par- ticalarly in securing tho election of certain Conscrvativo members, and by subscriptions to a Testimonial to Sir Joho A.Macdonald Tho Op- mmission was not appointed in the interests of the country but to hunt out party secrets and that it had acted unfairly in not calling on those implicated to bear witness.Hon John Beverley Robinson and Sir John A.Macdonald were auncintions of mmission, Af especially bitter in their the Government and the ter a personal and heated debate, it was re solved that the Commission continuo ite enquiry.and a Conservative newspaper.NEWS BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.London, Feb.27.\u2014It is stated in Romo in the manner of paying the men employed in tending the blast furnaces, which mado also a slight reduction.On being told of work and stated they would allow na one to take their places.The managor at once paid and dismissed them, and filled thoir places with Cornish miners, This brought matters to a crieis, tho strikers collecting in a body near tho Cornishmeon\u2019s quartors, breaking windows and lamps and using pistols Fooly.The company\u2019s officors, in self-defonco roturned tho fire, and ono man named McDougall was fatally shot, and has sinco died, while a second was badly wounded, On the company's sido several of the employes wore hadly wounded.Bolleville, Fob, 28.\u2014Taking advantage of the fino woathèr, tho farmers have been performing their spring plowipg.In Amoliasburg on Wodnesday à farmer sowed a quantity of spring wheat, the ground bo- ing in fair condition.More new settlors tre now going into the back townships than for many years proviousiy.The lumborors in the rear portions of this county are at a standstill for lfck of snow.Ottawa, March 2.\u2014A dospatch has been roceived by the Government here announo ing that Mr Belfoss, the Bolgian Ministor, has beon officially appointed by tho Emperor of Austrian as third Commissioner for the purpose of tho Halifax Fishery Arbitration in tho torms of the Washington Treaty.Hon Robert Kellogg has been appointed by tho United States.Sir A.T'.Galt for Canada, Brockville, March 3.\u2014The Stoamors are running betweon here and Morristown, in connection with the Utica and Black River Railroad ;

you su to that place last night because they expso ad to enjoy themeelves, Miss Larkio ?No, they did not.They went because other ple wont ; becauso they were invited ; Pecauee they have fallen into the habit of going to such places ; and they knew they would be bored, and that they would hate each other, and would be fd when it wns over.And they were bored, and they did hate each other, and were glad when it was over ; and it served them right.\u2019 She looked down as sho spoke, from the high window of Miss Lurkio's little sitting.room, with so much fine scorn in ber handsome eyes, that one would have fancied that she saw an offender in every innocent passerby on the grand, dismal street below.\u2018Eh, my dear I\u2019 sighed kind Miss Lurkio, shaking her dear old head over ber knitting, and secretly feeling a trifle fearful of committing herself.\u201cEb, Miss Isobel, my dear; it's o'er true, I fear, for this is à warld fu\u2019 o iniquities an\u2019 savorin\u2019 0\u2019 vanity an\u2019 corrap- tion.\u2019 Miss Isobel did not laugh, as she would have done a year or even a fow months ago.She was not inclined to laugh at anything that morning ; she was in too cynical a mood.Sho ross from her séat at the window with a queer little sigh ; and, coming to the fire, took a footstool at her old friend's side, and sat down upoa it, contracting her brows and clasping her bands tightly about ber knee.\u2018Is there nothing better than this ¥ she cried.\u2018Is life always the samo, always like Lady Drumlie\u2019s parties\u2014fine and stupid and grand 1 Is there nothing cise for us to do but to be \u2018finished,\u2019 and \u2018come out,\u2019 and grow up into beauties ?What is the chiof end of man, I wonder, Miss Lurkie ?The chief end of woman is to ke baudsomer than tbe two Miss Lusbingtons, or than somebody else.\u2019 \u2019 Miss Lurkie looked at the young lady over her tortoise-shell spectacles, and her look was a cautious one.It would never bave done for Miss Bell to know that she was being scrutinised.The look took in the pretty, discontented face, the delieate, fine lines which had made Miss Isobel Low- ther a beauty ; the tall, lithe figure, the slender brows, knitted now.And then it wandored down to the clasped hands, and to a certain ring upon ono finger\u2014a gorgeous ring, whose centre diamond glittered and glared like a baleful eye.iss Bell was rowning at the fire, however, and saw nothing else.She went om with a shrug of her pretty shoulders.I sometimes wish that we had fulfilled all our engagements to the end of the programme, that we might go home aad go to bed.I said as much to Lady Drumlieonce; 1 was in owe of my bad humors, and my lady was borror-stricken.She told me I was wicked, and did not appreciate my blessings.Wicked! Perhaps so; but it is no worse than\u2014than things we eay and do every day.It was the truth, at least ; and one tells the truth so seldom that even an unorthodox truth is meritorious, 1\u2014Iwish we might go back to Drumlie, Miss Larkie.I am tired of Edinburgh and sick of London.\u2019 \u2018Ye are no in gude sperits, my dear,\u201d said Miss Lurkic.\u2018I thocht that ye were aye loogin\u2019 for the season.\u2019 Before the young lady could answer the door opened, and a servant annoanced a visitor in the drawing-room below.Miss Bell turned with a listless air; she supposed her grandmother had sent for her.\u2018Who did you say it was, Andrew ?* \u2018The Laird of Clandarrel,\u2019 replied Andrew.Then Miss Lurkie looked at her beautiful favorite again, over the dark-rimmed spac tacles, and this time her glance was even more furtive and cautions than before, Miss Bell's face bad changed all at once.Her cheeks were glowing with nervous, palpitating color, her eyes bright with trouble.She twisted her long, fair fingers unconeci- ously in the wateh-ahain at ber bets, \u2018And\u2014is grandmamma with him ?she asked, in some surprise.\u2018My lady is out, Miss Bell.The gentle man asked for Miss Lowther.\u2019 \u2018It is my cousin Hereward,' snid.Bolt te Miss Lurkie, trying to speak with fndiffer- ence, and succeeding very poorly indeed, \u2018I wish Lady Dramlie had been at home.But every trace of confusion had left her befere she reached the:-bottom of the great staircase.When she entered the grand, gloomy drawing-room she entered it with the finest of the stately airs which se often awed the world, and had partly made her ion for beauty.i he dullness of the dey and the heaviness of the window drapery made the room a peas additionally gloomy, but it was qui ight enough for her to see, even at its fhr- thest end, the tall, fair young giant, Who rose to meet her with eager, outstretched and.Bat, as he was, she barely gave him her alight, cold Cages tips.ve shossié, bypè out in our finest foathers, and rail m like | \u2018my dear, remember what hap \u2018Mow did you enjoy you w \u2018One should always regard one's enmjoy- ent from a comparative point of view,\u2019 be lied.\u2018I enjoyed myself loss than I' 8) Miss once, y.\" Bai put an her haughtiest air at \u2018Wo will let that matter rest,\u2019 she said.\u2018We will not taik about Mr Strath- spel: if you please.\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 said her cousin.\u2018We won't talk about Mr Sirathupey, Bell.Wo will leave that to Lady Drumlie, who knows how to apprecinte bis virtues ; or we will leave it to Strathspey himself, who is familiar with tho subject, and can do it even greater justice than Lady Drumlie.You and I won't discuss Strathspey, for I think we have had enough of him.We wiil talk about our- selvos : à topio at Onco inloreating and im- ving.\u2019 But, struggle as Lie might to be merely satirical and nonchalant, he could not help failing somewhat.His most cynical tone had a tone of pain ; his great blue eyes were full of boyish reproach and wounded love.Had be pot loved Isobel all his life, from the time they had beon children together, riding their rough Jovics and playing boy and girl games at Drumlio ?And how was he to end his love, all at once, meroly because her discreet relatives bad made a fashionuble young lady of her, and hel her to gain à wondrous reputation, and bad 80 far ovorruled her old, sweet unworldliness ra to mako her engage horself to this numskull of a Strathspey 1\u2014simply bocauso Strathspey was rich and aristocratic, and would soon come into his title ! Heroward Clandarrel was not the only individual who callod Strathspey u numskull ; though, to bo sure, his manner of designating him was moro vebement than that of other people.Tho young man was a simpleton ; oven his friends acknowledged it in secrot, however reluctantly ; but then, what prospects lay before him! What a golden calf he was, to bow down before and worship! And was hg not heir to his poor young relative, the Earl of Duainblane, who was dyimg of consumption ?And Miss Iso- bel Lowther was an almost ponniless beauty, and might not miss such a chance as this was?So she had suffered herself to be on- gaged to Strathspoy, and would be married in a few weeks.And this was what tho great diamond meant ; and what her discontent meant; and what dear Miss Larkie's kindly pity meant ; and last, but not least, it was what her cousin Hereward's re proaches meant.Poor Viking !\u2014Bell had given him the name of Viking, when she was fourteen, and he was the only hero in the world to her; he was so big, and strong, and blue-eyed, and fair, that it wastheonly title, at once romantic and heroic, that seemed fit for him\u2014Poor \u2018Viking!\u2019 How hard it was to bim to sit at this extreme end of tbe hearth-rug, «nd look across at the entrancing face and charming figure, at the other end ! and to know that both were Strathspey\u2019s property, and not his own, as he had fondly hoped they would be ! \u2018But then, again, why not talk about Strathspey 7 he burst forth.\u201cThere is nothing left to us to talie about that I know of.love you, Bell ; and it is wbat I always say when wo speak of ourselves.Oh, confound it all! To think that simpleton should have como between us! And that you should give your sweet self to him, after\u2014 after all that has passed\u2014after all those dear old days at Drumlie.\u2019 Bell turned her face away, saying nothing; but he saw little quiver of the pretty, red lips, and a tromulous motion of the drooping eyelids.He rose from his chair, crossed tho dreadful space between them, and knelt down apon the hearth-rug to take ber beautiful, nervous hand.\u2018Oh, Bell I\u2019 he cried, holding it so fast that she could not draw it away.\u2018How am I to give you up ?You have not been fair to me.Was it fair to let me love yon so bong that it will tear my heart by the roots to let you go ; and then to throw me aside because I am only the poor Laird of Clan.dom ?You used to say that you would rather own the crags and hills at Clandarrel than be the Queen of England.Oh, Bell, PF children we were when wo thought that Dalgarnock top was nearer the blue sky and hoaven than any other place in the world I' It seemed to Isobel that she almost felt the fresh hiil-side breeze blowing upon her cheeks, and smelt the sun-warmed heather.She forgot her storm grandmother, Lady Drumlie ; she forgot that she was a grest beanty and an engaged young lady.The tears gathered in the long lashes, rolied down her face and fell upon her hand, sparkling almost a8 brightly as thot flashing diamond.\u2018We shall never be so near heaven again,\u2019 sho sobbed, \u2018Ob | we shall never be so near heaven again.Iam drifting farther away from it every day, Hereward.Are poople always wicked and unhappy when thoy grow up to be men and women I\u2019 \u2018And why should they be ?' he said, the mist rising to his blue oyes, in bis great ISOBBL, yourself last might, | sAxp as for the rest,\u2019 eaid Miss Bell, ener Heroward 7\u201d she asked, atter an ot eight, getically, \u2018what absurd nonsense itis!

But you know how firm and hard sho is,\" she added, piteously.\u2018You know what cruel things she Las said of poor mamma's love-matoh, and what a life she hus led her, sinco papa died, and she was obliged to take : us all to live at Drumlie Aiks.I wonder, mysolf, how poor mamma has lived to bear it, I should havo died.1 never romembor the time when grandmamma was not snecr- ing, in her quoer way, at love and poverty ; and sho has often told us all\u2014Marian, Helen, and me\u2014that she would tako care she had no more love-matches and sentiment.You havo no idea, Heroward, what eruel things sho can say, and how obstinate she is.We are «ll afraid of her.\u2019 Statoly and high-banded as this young beauty was, she was afraid of hor grand-! mother.Dreadfully afraid of her.A tere rible old woman, who was capable of any | strong-minded act of vengeance, against | those unlucky mombors of her family who might daro to defy her.Thore werorumors | that her husband, Sir Archibald, had stood in so much awe of his rigid and implacable spouse that death bad boen a happy roloase | for him.lt was certain that poor, pretty, gontlo Mrs Lowther had eaten bitter bread when she had been poor, pretty, gentle Iso- bel Drumlio, and that sho had been driven to her marriage with tho scanty-endowed | Scotch minister by her mother's rolontless | severity.Clandarrel knew the old Gorgon\u2019s pecu.liaritios too well.He was as firmly convinced ns Boll herself that Lady Drumiie! would be capable of any harsh treatmont to: carry out hor will.So ho said nothing ;, only caressed the little hand more tenderly.| \u2018Mr Strathspey.\u2019 the door opened, which gave notice of the | approach.\u201d Mr Strathspey cntered rather awkwardly, notwithstanding tho fact that ho ought to have felt suro of his welcome.Perhaps, after all, he wns not so very sure of it.He stared about him for a moment and then caught sight of Clandarrel, und glared at bim with his little, narrow eyes, and then he caught sight of Bell, each sitting demurely at the two extreme ends of the hearth-rug.Isobel rose slowly and gave him bor slim fingers, even less cordially than she had offered them to her cousin.\u2018So glad\u2014er\u2014to find you\u2014er\u2014at home,\u2019 stammered the little man, overwhelmed with confusion.\u2018lope you are well\u2014er after\u2014er\u2014dissipation last night.Delightful, wasn't it ?Hope Lady Drumlie\u2019s well \u2014er\u2019 But ho did not condescond to take the slightest notice of Heroward, and, indeed, had turned his back upon him.Miss Lowther fixed her large eyes upon him, with a cool significance.\u2018You have met my cousin, Mr Clandarrel, I think.\u2019 Ie was obliged to see him then.And something in the calm glance of his fair betrothed made him feel that it would have! been better had he seen him before.\u2018Ah\u2014er\u2014yes, to be sure,\u2019 he said, as lottity as ib dared.\u2018Beg pardon.Beliove [ have.low de do?and he vouchsafed Hereward a nod, after the manner of a potentate.Confound Clandarrel ! ho was always in the way.But he contrived to ignore him pretty tolerably.He tallced and laughed with Miss Bell, in spite of her cold indifference, and made himself as charming and witty as he knew how.When Clandarrel rose to say good-bye to his cousin, thore was an angry flush on her proud face, and a look ot humiliation in ber eyes.Ho wrung hér hand almost fiercely.\u2018Don\u2019t come again,\u2019 she contrived to whisper.\u2018Indeed, you mnst not.\u2019 Ho quite crashed her soft flogers, in his passionate, brief pressure ; and his boyish face flushed to the roots of his tair hair.\u2018I cannot promise that,\u2019 was the rapidly murmured answer.\u2018Good-bye, Bell, and God bless you I\u2019 Isobol was not very gracious to her lover whon Clandarrel was gone.She reseated horself with so cold and grand an air that Strathspey felt his heart sink into his little, varnished boots.\u201d People might envy the fature Earl, and call him a lucky fellow to have won so famous a beauty ; but now and then, evon while basking in the sunlight of her prosence, ho felt his spirits fail him, He was vaguely conscious that the look in her oxpressivo oyes was not oxactly an affectionate one, and that the curve of her red mouth was bardly significant of unqualified pleasure.When he tried to make a brilliant remark her manner made bim uncomfortable, and when he warmed into sentiment she held him \u2018at more than arm's length, so that at last ho was secretly different that she bowildered and com joined.as | am of you.\u2019 stood with the air-of a surprised culprit.\u201cOk, if you are going to be angry, !

He was not here very long, was he! How long, pray?Long enough to make a little love and à few sweet apeeches ?I should like to have heard them.Nice boy, that Clandarrel \" Bell began to tremble.\u2018Listen to me, young lady, went on her ladyship.\u201cI'he next time Clandarrel pre- sames to como hero 1 will seo him, Not you.Never you again.And I think that will be the last hour ho will darken my doors.You recollect.Go!\u201d Miss Lurkie, sitting in the little private room she enjoyed possession of ns the family companion and .house-keeper, was roused from her reverie over her knitting by the entrance of her young mistress.Bell shat the door and returned to her footstool, in tears and tribulation.\u2018Ob, Miss Lurkio !I' she said ; \u2018please let mo stay with you for a while and bo quiet.1 don\u2019t\u2014oh, I don\u2019t know what to do I\u2019 \u2018Eh, Miss Bell, my bairn-?cried the friendly old creature.\u2018Ye must na gie way, dear.Dinna greet.But Bell was driven to desperation.She was fain to \u2018greet\u2019 for a fow minutes inspite of her pride.\u2018You do not know what 1 have to bear, Miss Lurkio,\u201d she said, piteously.\u2018You and pour mamma are the only friende MF-have in the world.\u201d And then, thinking of Here ward and his good- by, sho flung her stately reserve to the winds and wept openly.Botwoen the futare Earl of Damblane and her grandmother, Isobel Lowther led a pleasant life during the next few weeks, His visits becamo more froquent ; and under the sharp oyo of Lady Drumlie she dared not rebel.Civil she was at least compelled to be, and he became ao lovor-like that she was goaded to secret frenzy.Added to this waa the pleasure of watching the preparations for.the marriage.andy Dramlie would allow of no delay, and certainly the bridegroom was eager onough.The two beld confidential consultations together about jewols nnd settlements and various arrangements.Bell looked on.It could not bo helped sure.If sho had intended to rebel sho ought to havo been firm at frst; \u2018You are too hard on me, lsobel.\u2018Let ber come! 0 Somehow | seem aways to say the wrong lomger, Bell, my dear.things ; and | ean't ! timos Lthat\u2014that you aro not-as fond of ge going mad,\u2019 sho said, almost an And having got thus fur, go away.N he rose to take her hand, and made as if rest.\u201d And thon sho sat down and covered ; Lochinvar,\u2019 | 1 ooulda\u2019t stand i any \u2018You must ily: \u2018Pray Bad as the Bell bogan to tremble.You\u2014you are as her fase with her hands.He went down upon his knees at her side om the hearth rug, Just as ho bad that othor day.Yell, my dear,\u2019 he said, \u2018I have boen driven to desperation ; and they are making you desperate, too, Do you think J am going to lot that little simpiecton marry you in spite of yourself ?No, by\u2014by Heaven 1 I ain going to marry you myself, in tie face of Lindy Drumlio.\u2018Ob ! Bell pleaded, \u2018please don\u2019t.\u2019 But the fire was flashing from his blue eyes, und he looked strong as a lion, and more like a gisut than ever ; fit (0 be master of the world~\u2014and of ber, \u2018I bag of you, Hereward, to go away before it is too late.She may bo bere at any moment.\u2019 .\u201cVery woll,\u2019 said Horeward, bending to kiss her band.\u2018As ] said before, let her come; Do you rerseraber \u2018Young Lochin- vay\u2019, Bell 7 \u2018That she did, When they had been Clandarrel, they had liked the legend of Young Lochinvar so much, that Beil had managed to set the words to an old tune, and they had sung it until everybody but Horeward was tired of hearing it.But Hereward had always boen faithful to it in his heart ; and be had promised Bell that if she should ever attempt to marry any one but himself, ho would carry hor off on her wodding day after our hero's valiant fashion.\u2018It waa Strathspey who made me think of it particularly the otber night\u2014when we were at the Lushingten's; Bell.He is such an awkward follow, you know; and as 1 saw him standing fidgeting before you, trying to look at ease, the old words came back to me at once, \u2018The bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume,\u2019 .And then all the rest flashed upon mo, and I scemed to hear you singing the gay old lilting tune in your clear, high voice, as you used to sing it whon we galloped over the Leather on our ponies.\u2018\u2019Sheiswon ! We aro gone over bank, bush and scuar ; They'll have fleet steed that follow, quoth young Loclinvar.\u2019 \u2018But why do you recall this now?\" she askod.\u2018And then\u2014don't look frightened, Boll\u2014 I thought, why not, since they have left us no alternative ?And why not indeed, Bell, it you will only be a brave girl, and listen to me; and you will I know.Say you will, my darling, and you shall seo how my whole life will prove to you that tho honest love of an honest man will go further toward making you happy than all the Larldoms in Christendom.\u2019 lle put bis strong young arm about her, and drew her head down on his shoulder.Poor Bell gave a sobbing sigh.\u201cI'hink of Clandarrel,\u2019 he continued in a low, persuasive whisper.\u201cThink how tho sweet wind is blowing on Dalgarnoch Top this very moment, and of how blue tho wator looks on the loch below ; -and then ask yourself if you would not be happier thero than here, and say you will listen, Bell.And so ho went on in his headlong boyish fashion, pleading as for dear life.Pleading for the old lave, and its sweet, childish romance ; pleading with all his heart and strength ; and bringing back to her mind so many fresh and innocent memories, that in the end she was obliged to give way.And in spite of her fear, in spite of Lady Drumilie, in spite of the future Earl of Dum- blane, she did listen ; and listened to some purpose.It was a very grand affair, this last party of Lady Drumlie's.All her ladgship\u2019s parties were grand affairs; but this par ticular ane, which was to crown Miss Low- ther\u2019s farewell appearanco in society as Miss Lowther, was like none that had gono before.On the whole it was a \u2018jam,\u2019 nt a vory brilliant and imposing jam.Nobody stayed at homo who was invited.People.wished to see tho last of the young lady whose debut into society had created se groat a sensation, \u2018 And really, on: this occasion, Boil was even more worth looking at than before.She had never seemed to Lo so beautiful.Hor bright eyes wore almost feverish in their brilliance ; and more than one guest remarked that the touch of excitement in her usually stately manner was pasitively an additional charm.\u2018But she might well look excited,\u2019 these samo guests obeerved, afterward, ono to another.\u2018And sho might well glance toward the door every few minutes, as [ certainly ri her doibg, said tho prettiest Miss Lust- ngton.- ady Drumgie observed neither the ex- r the glancing toward tho door.children playing together at Drumlie and |\u201d \u2018Horse Blankets $1 85.The Laird of Clsadarrel felt convinced that she would have given à year or two of ber remalniog life pl have dared to do it.\u2018Thank yeu,\u2019 ssid, as com before, and the sweet amile on Bis Tipe ores \"Bell at tbe y att ite cormer of the ad soon it all, bad trombled and rown palo with excitement.Clandarrel made bis way to her, whispering the words of signal in her ear.*\u201cNow tread we a measure, quoth youn he said ; and he ok be hand and led her eh Among the dancers, .ow people looked at them as they danced !

tho musicians kept it up well, Before it was ended tho two had vanighed.At length à curious questioning whisper began to circulate through the company.It reached the ears o Lady Drumlioe.She stared about fiercely, and thén motioned Strathspey to her side, \u2018Whore is my granddaughter ?' \u2018I haven't seon her.She was waltzing with that\u2014or\u2014fellow, you know, and\u2014\u2014' \u2018Iaven't scen her,\u2019 almost shrieked the old lady.\u2018Lot me get out of the room.\u2019 She did get out of the room, and at last upstairs to Bell's chamber, where she found a nice, little cream-colored note, laid upon the laco-frilled toilet-dushion.And Lady Drumlie, tearing open this note, learned that all her plotting had been in vain, and that sho was a baffled, defeated old woman, My DEAR GRANDMAMMA : When 1 left the room, in tho middle of the last waltz, I loft it to run away with my cousin Ilore- ward.I cannot marry Mr Strathspoy ; and as you left me no other chance of escape, I was obliged to choose this one, though I would much rather have broken the engage- mont quietly, instead of ending it in a manner which I have no doubt will cause a romantic scandal.I have loved my cousin all my life, and would rather bo bis wife, and nothing but the mistress of pretty Clan- darrel, than the Countess of Dumblane.1 hope you will forgive me for everything else I havo done to offend you ; but cannot ask you to forgive me for this, though I feel that I havo done right, not wrong, in being true instead of false.We shall Lo half-way to Clandarrel before you read this, Hereward says\u2014at any rate beyond pursuit.And\u20141 hope yon will forgive us both in timo, dear grandmamma, In baste, yours affectionately, IsOBEL.While Lady Drumlie was roading this guileless cpistle, Bell was far on ber way to Clandarrol ; and, once at Clandarrel, sho was safe, for she was made within the hour tho young laird\u2019s wife.And there it ended.\u2018Terrible as tho escapade had scomed to her, and much as the beautiful Miss Lowthor\u2019s wild marriage was discussed by society, Bell found herself as happy as the days were long.SPRING TRADE.HE undersigned is now prepared to supply ALL KINDS OF TINWARE on the most reasonable terms, As this is the commencement of the sugar scason I would draw special attention to my stock of Sap Pails, Russia Iron Sap Pans for boiling, Patent Bap Spouts, with hangars complete.Also\u2014A good assortment of Milk Pans, Pails, &c,, on hand.- BEY\" Prompt attention paid to repairing, \u201ciy JAMES 8.COWAN.Huntingdon, March 1, 717.Deminion Block, FARM FOR SALE, Bee part of Lot No.27, in the Fourth Range of Elgin, containing 50 acres or thereby, belonging to William Rose.The land is of excellent quality and in good order.The purchase-money may remain in the hands of the purchaser for 7 or 8 yoars on paying a moderate rate of interest, Enquire at Wu.ROSE, - DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS, SUPERIOR COURT.\\AME ISABELLA WALKER LUMSDEN, wife of George Anderson of Valleyficld, in said District, trader, has, this day, instituted an action, for scparation of property, against her said husband.JOHN J.MACLAREN, .Attorney for Plaintiff, Beauharnois, 34 February, 18717.Do You Enow Where to Get Bargains ?GO TO THR WEST END HOUSE AND SECORB Fine Shirting Flannels at | Sashes 50c each.38 cents per yard.Fine Bashes 90c cach.Scarlet Flannels at 28c Mon's Drawers 50c per per yard.pair.Canton Flanucls at 14c Men's Wool Mufilers 35c.Woolen Table Covers $1 .per yard, each.Faricy Table Covers $1 50 each, Breakfast Shawls 85c each.Men's Overshoes $1 25 per pair.Men's Deerskin Moccasins 90c per pair.Ladies\u2019 Leuther Boots Si Cloth Jackets $I 25.Fur.trimmed Jaokets $1 75.Ladice\u2019 Clouds at 450 to \u201c 1be éach.Ladies\u2019 Cloth Bkirts 80 to $1 25 each.Children's Woolen Hoods 0c \u2018Ob, is it you, Hereward yearning.\u2018And why should we never be promptod to ask of himself whether this but now it was too late, and sho must sub-|citement no .80e., .per pair.critically.I hardlp expected to sec you.|so near heaven again?It is love tbat was the treatment he ought to expect from mit.\u2018That was nil about it.So, after a|She only noted with grim satisfaction, thag| Childron's Woolen Caps Ladies Fine Leather Lady Drumlie is not at home.\u2019 brings heaven near, Bell ;
