suffice it to say in this connection that while the speaking is going on a cylinder covered with tin foil is turned by a crank, and that by means of a fine needle peint the record is made on the tin foil.There is nothing at all mysterious about this part of the process to any one who understands anything about acoustics, Sound, it is well known, is the result of vibration, and when the person speaking into the machine imparts in this way a vibratory motion to the disc, this motion is communicated to the needle attached to it, and an irregular series of indented marks on the revolving tin foil is the result.These marks are as little like ordinary words as could well Le conceived, the nearest approach to them being the marks on the paper slip in the old-fashioned system of recording telegraphic despatches.The really wonderful part of the experiment is the reverse of the above process.By adjusting the cylinder in such a way that the needle point is made to traverse precisely the same greund as it did during the delivery of the speech the vibrations caused by the p over the indented marks is re-communicated to the disc, and the result is a reproduction of the original sound.To assist its evolution a funnel is placed on the mouth-piece, but this is not an essential.That such an instrument should produce sound of some sort is not surprising, but the reproduction of articulate sounds is a mystery.Moreover the The Canadian Glenner 31.50 A-YEAR | application, and the ingenuity of the in- :ventor.Edison takes already, though jonly 31 years of age, a very high rank ; among the ariginal men of all time, and (he bids fair to attain the very foremost rank amongst the practical designers of the machinery necessary to the utilization of new ideas.Those who have not yet seen and heard the Phonogra should ; make à point of visiting the and gaia- ing an entirely new experience\u2014some- thing which they cannot attain to every day of their lives.\u2014Toronto Globe.DAIRY PRODUCE.THE condition of the market for Cheese is anything but satisfactory, and there are strong indications that the worst has not been yet reached.Advices from Liverpool are to the effect that the market there is demoralized ; the recent failures in the Produce and Provision Trade have had a very dispinting effect, and it is feared still more firms will tind themselves in financial difficulties.Prices consequently are very weak, Cable advices quoting 53s.for Fino Cheese, and a considerable reduction expocted during the next fow days.Under those circumstances hippers here will be obliged to operate with extreme caution ; in some cases agents have received orders from home to stop buying until matters reach a moro settled condition.From this state of affairs it is obvious that dairymen must not expect high prices, and if they intend to make a profit at all they must look to quality more than quantity, for with Fine Cheese at such low prices it is evident that inforior qualities will be perfectly unsaleable.Our only hope is to make Canadian Cheese of such acknowledged merit that it must command the markets It costs the duiryman or farmer little, if any, more to wake good cheese than bad, \u201cI but even if it did, in the long run the advantages that will accrue to him from careful manufacture would amply repay the cost.The make this season is likely to be larger than in any former year, and with such an immense field for selection shippers are not likely to look at anything except the choicest descriptions, There have alrendy been complaints as to the soft condition in which some cheese has been sent to market, and wo recommend factories for their own wake to forward none that is not of good make and thoroughly cured.Of course, the lower range of prices in British markets have met with a corresponding fall here, and shippers are offering one cent less than they did a week ago, new Cheese being now purchased from 9}¢ @ 104c.Very simi- ar remarks are applicable to Butter ; the Liverpool market is in a state of stagnation ; of strictly gilt-edged there is none offering, and this is the only description that would command remunerative rates.Fair to good butter is selling as low as not be got rid of even at grease prices.There is a large amount of fine Duster now being brought into.Montreal, and sales are made at 13¢ @ 16c Equal attention to quality must be given in tho manufacture of Butter, as we have re- any price.Herald.THE TORCH OF TEMPERANCE.A1r\u2014+ Lot the Lower Lights be Burning.\u201d While we sit at home rejoicing, Safe from every storm that blows, On the street our erring brother Down the drunkard\u2019s pathway goes.Let us reach our hand to save him,\u2014 Let us be his guide and satay, Sorely now he needs our friendship On his dark and dreary way.CHORUS.Keep the torch of temperance burning, Flash its light upon our foe.We may save our falling brothers From the drunkard\u2019s dram of woe.Where the brilliant lights are flashing In the gay saloon and d, Stands a brother, husband, father, Needing now our helping hand.See, the tempter now besets him With his demon\u2019s glass of rum;

be transported only on waggons or pack animals, it cannot be taken thither in sufficient quantities to save the people.The Chinese officials have done all in their power.The Chinese have usually classed opium and missionaries as among the chief evils due to foreign intercourse, but the latter are now winning faver through the practical help they afford.There are numerous refugees from tho famine district in Pekin and Tien-Tsin.In the latter city, a houso made of mats, for the accommodation of women and children, was recently burned, and fifty lives lost.Recurring famines may lead the Chinese to recognize the need of encouraging adequato means of internal communication.The bulk of the Turkish population will never know how the war of 1877-8 camo out.Such, at least, is the inference derived from the proclamation in a Smyma official journal In this remarkable document the faithful are informed that the Sultan's troops were successful in every encounter, but that the Sultan had some trouble in compelling the humbled Czar to sond his brother to sue for pardon and do homage to the Khalif in his palace of Dolmabag- tche ; and that, satistied with such wb.tuission, he had graciously granted the penitent Muscovites their lives and permission to depart in peace by Stamboul\u2014 to signity their passing under the yoke\u2014 leaving, however, 30,0 10 men as hostages.The readiness with which the men of the English Army Reserve have responded to tho call to active service is strikingly instanced in tho Ipswich District, where, out of 390 men, every man has joined the colors, One only was reported absent, and as he had not been heard from at the two previous quarterly inspections, was supposed to have doserted.He arrived, however, and, when tried for desertion, it turned out that he had gone from Suffolk to Yorkshire in acarch of work, that he cannot read nor write, and did not know that the Reserves were called out till the day before they were to assemble, when he started, and, having no money, walked 260 miles in seven days, in order to report himself.With such stuff and such apirit in it, the Army Reserve must be an invaluable leaven for the mass of raw recruits now filling up the ranks of English regiments.aris, May 22\u2014 A rerent ineeting of Republican Senators, Deputies, Town Councillors, Journalists and savants to or- nize a celebration of Voltaire's centenary during the Exhibition, appointed a commission and resolved to concentrate the essence of Voltaire\u201d ideas in a cheap volume, to be spread broadcast throughout France.The Committee to direct the fete is headed by Victor Hugo.The Catholic dignitaries are violently attacking the proposed celebration.M.Dufaure, President of the Senate, in reply to Bishop Dupanloup, said the celebration was a rivate affair, and the Government had no right to interfere.« Holtum \u201d is a Dane, an extraordinary man, who has been exhibiting in England marvellous feats of strength.He

keeping the roadway clear for the ordinary traffic and in preventing an anticiputed disturbance.In appearance and cleanliness the place is a vast improvement on the ordinary butchers\u2019 shops of

towards the Indians which the Government assumed, either through carelessness in not trying to understand their case or from a desire to propitiate the priesthood of this Province, has stirred up the zeal of the friends of the tribe, and caused a considerable retraction on the part of the Ministry.As the desires of the tribe are not unreasonable, it is to be hoped the Government will see its way to give them, this season, a free reserve and guarantee the expenses of their removal and establishment thereon.It is now generally supposed that the writs for the new Dominion Parliament will not be issued until August, or possibly September, In Ontario the electors of both parties are ready for the contest, having selected their candidates by means of county conventions.The Ministersand leading members of the Opposition intend to renew the picnic system of last summer, and so perambulate the Province on behalf of their respective parties.Party spirit already runs high and an unusually fierce and personal contest will be the result.In our own Province there are no particular preparations for the coming election, and everything will be left to be done in the way of bringing out candidates to the last.In Montreal the Conservatives, through a club they formed some time ago, are endeavoring to orgau- ize for the campaign in the same way as they do in Ontario.They will find it impracticable, for party lines and party feeling are neither as clearly defined nor as intense as in the sister Province.Frou the Indians being minors, it could not be helped that the coroner's jury

care of the priesthood for nearly 200 years, should be so deplorably ignorant and degraded as to disgust most visitors and to prevent their receiving the sympathy they deserve in their efforts to maintain their rights.Morally there isa very wide difference, indeed, between them and the Okas, though both are of the same tribe.Itis a thousand pities that our missionary societies, before sending missionaries abroad, bad not considered the case of this remnant of aborigines within sight of the chief city of the Dominion.We know whereof we speak, when we state that a Protestant missionary would be received by them in a different spirit from what the letter sent in their name to Father Chiniquy would lead the public to expect.THROUGHOUT the clay sections of the District farmers have generally come to the decision that something ought now to be done to get better roads than we have.From the wet and late Fall, the roads were bad for fully three months, and from 4 the break-up in the beginning of March to three weeks ago they were equally untit for travel.In the middle of April, altho\u2019 the snow had been gone for over a month, it was out of the question to draw a load, that, to begin with, one machine would do | this section, and could be moved from place to place in turn.Their cost is, at: least, $2,000, and they require 8 or more | men to work them.Had the village the: means it would readily buy one for itself, but such an investment is boyond its resources at present.With one machine between four or five municipalities it would | take a long time to improve any length of road, and the most that could be expected would be that the worst bits of road in each would be made good.This we are inclined to think is as far as the rate- posed to go at present, and the undertaking of regularly macadamizing the roads, or even of one leading road in each township, would be made a matter of more mature consideration in the future, which is proper, for the expense would be considerable.To move surely in an undertaking of this kind, where we have everything to learn, it is well to move slowly, Should the enquiries now being made prove that the machines are suited for the stone in this District and likely to Le worked economically and advantageously, from what we hear, we should judge public opinion will warrant the councils inter- estedin clubbing together to get a machine ; venturing, say, a thousand dollars each towards paying for it and macadamizing a piece of road.A beginning has to be made some time towards getting decent roads, and it should be done this season.If after getting a crusher it is found to answer, the work can be gone into on a larger scale should the ratepayers sce fit, and probably each township get one for itself.As we understand it, all that is proposed now, is to try how it will do.When the information has been obtained from the different parties who make the machines and from municipalities in Ontario where they are in use, it is to handed us for publication.AFTER a struggle of five days the Democrats in the House of Representatives succeeded in passing their resolution to en- and farmers who were out of fodder had quire

ditching answer where the soil is light, but on heavy clay, where every track a heavy waggon makes in wet weather holds water like a canal, they are wholly insufficient.For a time, the opinion prevailed that a coating of gravel would prevent their cutting, and a good deal of money and labor has been so spent.On loam the gravel has been found to answer, but on the clay it has become worked

between the Indians and the surrounding French population has been growing for years ; the systematic plundering of their woods by the habitants having been an especial source of irritation.Long ago we pointed out that it would be well for the Government to interfere and place the tribe on a pew basis.On the one hand it is an injury to the country bask of the reserve, to have a large square of

services were held in the Congregational church, Franklin Centre, in connection with the ordination of the Rev.James C.Wright to the ministry and his induction into the pastoral charge of the congregation, Despite this being a busy season of the year with farmers, there was a respectable attendance, The church was adorned by numerous bouquets of flowers, and everything was well arranged.The first service was held at half-past ten in the forenoon, and was opened by Rev.A, Miller, of the Presbyterian church, Malone, who read the 6th chapter of Acts and led in prayer.The Rev, Alfred Bray, of Zion church, Montreal, then delivered a lecture on, the principles and polity of Congregationalism, The lending ideas of his address were, that the Scriptures bad not laid down any particular system of church organization as binding on Christians, deducing from Paul's speaking of the * churches \" of Galatia, instead of the church and from like language by John in Revelations that the churches differed in constitution even in Apostolic times\u2014nlike in faith though differing in organization.He contended that the only test of ecclesiastical systems was their adaptability to the wants of men in bringing them to Christ, and that they must therefore necessarily vary with circumstances.He scouted being bound to any system merely on account of its antiquity, declaring if the well dug yesterday yielded pure water fitted to quench Lis thirst, while that which might date back to Jacob contained bitter or brackish water, he would prefer that of yesterday.What souls aspiring to be raised out of sin sought was help in their endeavor, and the church system that most fully met their wants in aiding them to attain righteousness was the Lest.He did not believe Congregationalism was a perfect system, for there was nothing perfect in this life, but to his mind it was the best that had been yet devised.The characteristics of Congregationalism, its democratic nature, throwing the responsibility of government upon all adherents, and the independence and latitude it secured to each congregation, he brought out with much clearness.In England Congregationalism was identified with nonconformity, it steadily protesting against state endowments or any Parliament (composed, as they necessarily must be, of men of diverse character and views) legislating for the church, but on this continent it had not that semi- political aspect, though, he contended, it ought to bear like testimony in this Province, where the Church of Rome received State recognition and support.Among the defects of Congregationalism he classed their mode of receiving members, he considering that the examination by deacons as to the conversion and doctrinal views of candidates did not keep out a single hypocrite or self-deceiver while it repelled many a conscientious and sensitive soul.The test of religious character he held to be the daily life.When a man came to him for admission into the membership with & glib profession of faith or religious experience, he was inclined to go among his neighbors and fiud out what sort of à man he Was in his dealings.He closed with a glowing description of the work of every true church as being to make those within its influence Christian men and women, and which held its organization as subsidiary, a mere instrument, to that end.The Rov Professor.Fenwick, of the Montreal Congregational College, then put four questions to Mr Wright, the applicant for admission to the ministry : lat, his reasons for believing he had been converted ; 2d, his reasons for believing he had received a call to the ministry ; 3d, his doctrinal views ; 4th, his motives for accepting the pastoral charge of the Franklin church, Mr Wright's answers to the several questions were frank and ample and given in an unassuming manner.Being safisfactory, Professor Fenwick ordained him with fervent prayer and the laying on of hands.Two candidates for the diaconate, William Smith and Henry Friar, were now called forward, when Mr Bray addressed them as to the nature of their duties and the manner in which they should discharge them.His advice, given in a familiar strain, was as bumorous at times as it was apt, and not likely to be forgotten by either deacons or congregation.He dedicated them to the office by prayer.The Rov J.8.Livingstone of Russeltown Flats closed the service with prayer and the benediction.At this, as at the subsequent services, the singing of the choir was admirable.At Lilf-past two the congregation again assembled, && Jean Louis Blanchette, butcher, of when, after devotional services led by Mr Bray, Pro- , fessor Fenwick delivered the charge to the pastor and Mr Millar to the people.In the evening a third service

that Italy will not take England's side, and France will positively remain neutral.Only England and Turkey will stand together, It is doubtful if even the firmness of Turkey can be counted on.For that

about 9 o'clock, an elderly man and his wife overtook Constable Kerr at the corner of Mc- Gill and Notre Dame streets, and stated that they had been insulted by several of a crowd of young men, who were then coming along on the opposite side of the street.The man also complained that he had been struck by some of the crowd.Constable Kerr asked the man to follow him, and proceeded across to the crowd, which numbered some 14 or 13, just in time to aid in rescuing Supernume Constable James Marr, who was surrounded, and was being maltreated by them.One of the crowd, named John Dowd, who had struck the constable, ran away, and was followed through St Maurice street down St Henry, and into William street, by Kerr, who there succeeded in arrestin him, with the aid of Sergeant DeConnick and two men who were on patrol.In the Recorder's Court, yesterday, Marr state to the effect that, while ho was proceeding past Winks\u2019 Block, on McGill street, to- Wards Victoria Square, the prisoner and some 14 or 15 others turned the corner, acting in a boisterous manner, and singing \u201cThe Wearing of the Green.\u201d He quietly requested them to desist, as they were disturbing the peace, Hardly had he done 80, than the first of the crowd (the prisoner) turned around and struck him a blow on the head.Other blows were iven, and it is difficult to say what would \u2018ve been the result

of the youths was recovered by the Sergeant, but the other youth had to go home bareheaded, In passing through St Joseph street other missiles were thrown, and, at the corner of McGill and St Joseph street, a bottle was thrown into their midst directly in sight of a constable.No further disturbance ensued.\u2014Herald of Tuesday.THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY IN MON TREAL.THE celebration of the Queen's birthday was made the occasion of an unusual military display in Montreal.From Toronto, Ottawa, and Quebec troops were brought, forming with the Montreal Volunteers a body of 3,000 men, who were reviewed by Lord Dufferin and engaged in a sham fight on Fletcher's field, at the base of the ountain.The Queen's Own of Toronto, numbering 400 men, attracted much attention, as did also the Governor's Foot Guards, 300 men, of Ottawa.The B battery of Quebec numbered 200 men.On the way up, one of their number, while drunk, fell overboard and was drowned.Among those on the Governor's staff was Lt.-Col.McEachern, C.M.G., who was also present at the dinner in the evening by invitation.It is estimated that there were 40,000 spectators, A pleasing feature of the affair was the presence of a company of United States volunteers, the Barlow Greys, St Albans, Vermont.We quote from the Herald : This corps turned out 40 strong, under the command of Capt Culber.They are a fine body of men, soldierly-looking, and admirably drilled.Throughout the day their gray uniform, heavy epaulets, and smart, though to English eyes, unfamiliar appearance, attracted much attention.Among them are many old soldiers of the Republic, who have fought for the Stars and Stripes, which were carried by them, and waved for the first time, we believe, side by side with the Union Jack at a British military parade.His Excellency rode down the line, accompanied by the whole Divisional and Brigade Staffs, and inspected it closely.Returning, he rode to the United States Company, and, after shaking hands with the officers, addressing them as follows, said \u2014\u201c I cannot allow this opportunity to escape without expressing to you, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Government, and of Her Most Gracious Majesty, whose representative I am, the extreme satisfaction which I experience in thus being able to welcome you on behalf of the people of Canada to the soil of this Dominion.À greater compliment could hardly be paid Ÿy one people to another, than the one you are good enough to confer by thus joining us to celebrate the Birthday of our Queen.I accept this demonstration on your part as an additional proof of the indestructible friendship which I hope will ever unite the people of both countries.I further have to congratulate you on your soldierly appeat- ance.Although I am but a civilian, yet, having acted as Under-Secretary of War for Great Britain, I know little of what soldiering is, and I would be wanting in my duty if I did not pay a well-merited compliment.I trust we shall make your stay here sufficiently agreeable that you will not regret it, and induce others to return on a similar occasion.\u201d At the conclusion of the address, Captain Culber called upon the men to give three cheers for the Governor-General of Canada.It is needless to say the call was heartily acted upon, the cheers ending up with the peculiar \u201c tiger.\u201d We have not space for any detail, but in remarking on the features of the Sham- fight would say that the nature of the new order of attack does not seem to have been grasped by many of the company officers and by the men, and that some of the movements were executed in a way which, after making all allowance for the hindrance caused by the crowd and the difficulty of seeing what was going on, would, in actual fighting, have resulted in the utter destruction of the attacking force and in many serious complications at different points.During the fight, one of the Queen\u2019s Own had an eye injured by a gun being fired into his face.n the afternoon the Governor visited a Lacrosse match between Caughnawa and Montreal, resulting in a victory to the former.In the evening, the Governor and other ests were entertained to a dinner in the Windsor hotel by the officers of the city volunteers.There were 200 officers present.In response to the toast of his health, Lord Dufferin said : ; The spectacle I have witnessed this morning\u2014the scene which now meets my view\u2014more than repays me.Anything more admirably arranged, more gratifying to the pride of Canadians, and to all the friends of Canada, than the performance of this morning, cannot well be conceived.From first to last everything has passed off to my entire satisfaction, and now beg to tender my best thanks, and I render this

that such an unpardonable crime, as a second filibustering attack upon the sacred peace of Canada, can be in contemplation.I never have, and never will speak harshly or disrespectfully of my Irish countrymen\u2014 (cheers),\u2014 however wrong I may consider their opinions, or misguided their conduct.It is not by harsh or violent language we shall win them back to a friendlier frame of mind.(Hear, hear.) Undoubtedly, in past days, Ireland has suffered ill-treat- ment and injustice ; but for generations England has strained every nerve to make reparation for those wrongs.(Hear, hear.) However disposed, therefore, we may be to make allowance for the circumstances which may have generated these inimical passions, if they take effect in acts of outrage and murder\u2014if the peaceful homesteads of Canada are to be ravaged by bands of marauders, who ean have no possible quarrel with her peaceable inhabit- ants\u2014such violence, which outrages every law recognized by civilized mankind, must be suppressed with the most unmitigated firmness\u2014(hear, hear)\u2014but, as I said before, I cannot bring myself to believe in the possibility of so great a wrong.During my various progresses through the country I have come into contact with hundreds and hundreds of kindly Irishmen, laboring in the field, the forest, by the river side, or in the mine, and never did I meet one who did not give me a hearty welcome, both as a fellow-countryman, and as the representative of the Queen.(Loud cheers.) Happily for Canada, these Irishmen are sown broadcast through the land, and are intimately associated with their fellow-citizens of French, English, and Scotch descent.They are contented, jrosperous and loyal.Yet it is these Irish romeg-\u2014where the kindliness, the hospitality, the wit and the mirth of old Ireland lives again under such happy auspices \u2014which are to be involved, together with their British and French neighbors, in these unnatural hostilitics.(Hear, hear.) What cause of quarrel has the invader with the people of Canada which our own Irish fellow-citizens could not themselves allege, had they a mind to doso ?(Hear, hear) Nor are the Irish the only community of persons within our borders who might, if they chose, translate historical wrongs into actual warfare.Half the population of Glengarry, I believe, fled to this country, if not from Culloden, at all events from their Highland homes, to avoid the tyranny of him whom they called usurper, and whose great-grand- daughter now sits upon the throne ; yet where is there to be found a more loyal people in the world than the people of Glengarry ?In considering, therefore, the possible occasions on which we may have torely upon the valour of our gallant troops, I reject with horror from my thoughts the idea that they should ever be called upon to shed the blood of even the most inconsiderate or irreconcilable of our Irish fellow-countrymen.(Hear, hear.) And, gentlemen, if this cloud\u2014or rather, phantasmal exlialation\u2014bedispersedalong our southern boundary, what is there behind it in that direction but illimitable sunshine, and the prospect of perpetual peace ?(Hear, hear.) It is true, even so, we are still liable to invasion, and to-day we have witnessed how soldier-like and martial is the array of our Southernneigh- bors.(Loud cheers) But if they have forced the bulwarks of our land\u2014if they have penetrated to the heart of our richest city\u2014if they have established themselves within the precincts of our camp, it has only been to give us a fresh proof of the kindly feelings entertained for us by themselves and their fellow-countrymen in the States\u2014perhaps to lay siege to the hearts of our young ladies\u2014(laughter)\u2014and to Join with us in doing honor to our Gracious Queen.In the name, then, of all those who are present\u2014of the Volunteer Army of Canada\u2014of the people of Canada\u2014I bid them welcome ; and, inasmuch as it is the habit of cvery politic government to extend to deeds of military daring substantial rewards, I hereby promise to every American soldier-citizen who is now present, or shall ever after take part in our reviews, a free-grant farm within the Arctic Circle the day he takes the oath of allegiance.(Loud and continued laughter.) But though we have thus disposed in the most satisfactory manner of all pos- tible foes within the circuit of our immediate vision, it is not the less necessary, on that account, that we should take those Precautions which every nation since the world began, has found requisite for its safety.Let us learn a lesson from the fate of the aboriginal inhabitants of this very continent.We read in the pages of Pres- gout how happy and careless were their ves\u2014how destitute of fear, as they sported and slept beneath the umbrageous shel- suddenly, unexpectedly, coming from whenoe none knew, these stood pon their shores steel-clad men armed with their thunder-bolts of death, and in a few short years that harmless, flower-crowned peo- and temples laid waste and desolate.Happily, the repetition of such a catastrophe in our case is impossible ; but, for all that, a war cloud seems to be gathering in Europe, which may involve the entire Empire in its dreadful shadow.As members of that Empire\u2014as men of British descent\u2014as subjects of Queen Victoria\u2014 it may bo necessary for us to face the responsibilities which our nationality entails.You have seen by the papers the precautions the Government bar taken to protect that\u2014happily for us\u2014restricted portion of our seaboard, which is within reach of an enemy's assault; but I am proud to think that the spirit of Canadian patriotism has not confined itself merely to these exertions.Almost every mail has brought either to me, or to the Prime Minister, or the Minister of Militia, the most enthusiastic offers to serve in the Queen's armies abroad in the event of foreign war.(Loud cheers.) These offers have represented not merely the enthusiasm of individuals, but of whole regiments and brigades of men.(Renewed cheers.) It has been my duty to transmit them to the Home Government, and to the foot of the Throne ; and I should be failing in my duty if I neglected to tell you that they have been duly appreciated, not only by the Queen's Ministers, but by the Queen herself.(Prolonged cheering.) It will, undoubtedly, require a great deal of consideration to determine to what extent, and in what manner advantage could be taken of such noble self-devotion.Happily the time has not yet arrived, and I trust to God it may never do so, for giving practical effect to the suggestions which have been received.But I feel that I could not have a better opportunity of recording and emphasising facts so indicative of the martial and loyal spirit of the Canadian people as those I have indicated.No, gentlemen\u2014God grant that many along year may pass before the note of warlike preparations rings through the quiet hamlets, the sun-lit fields, and the prosperous cities of Canada.But, should the evil day arrive, let it find us prepared and ready to do our duty.(Hear, hear.) It is not by undisciplined levies, however enthusiastic, that the homes and liberties of a country can be guarded.Every day war is becoming a more complicated science, the problems of which can only be successfully dealt with by highly-or- ganized battalions, and trained and scientific officers.Above all, remember, things are not with you as they were a few short years ago.British North America is no longer a congeries of disconnected provinces, destitute of any strong bond of sympathy or mutual attachment.You are no longer Colonists or Provincials\u2014 you are the defenders and guardians of half a continent\u2014of a land of unbounded promise and predestinated renown.(Hear, hear.) That thought alone should make men and suldiers of you all.Life would scarcely be worth living unless it gave us something for whose sake it was worth while to die.Outside our domestic circle there are not many things that come up to that standard of value.But one of these you possess\u2014a country of your own; and never should a Canadian forget, no matter what his station in life\u2014what his origin or special environments\u2014that in this broad Dominion he has that which it is worth while both to live and to die for.(Loud and long continued cheers.) On the departure of the Barlow Greys for St Albans they were played to the station by the band of the 6th Fusiliers, and escorted by the whole of the non- commissioned officers of that battalion.The Greys were loud in their praise of the review and of the smartness and soldierly appearance of our volunteers.It was some time before they could get over the idea that our troops are regulars instead of citizen-soldiers like themselves.They heartily appreciated the compliment paid them by the Lt.-General in saluting their country\u2019s flag and of giving them the post of honor in the line, and also the kind manner in which His Excellency addressed them.They will keep a sharp lookout after the Fenian banditti about St Albans, and, if it should come to blows, will, and they said it with pride, be found standing shoulder to shoulder with their comrades of the 6th Fusiliers to put down the raiders.As the train moved out of the station cheers were sent up on all sides for the Greys and the United States, and was heartily returned by the soldiers of the American Republic.CANADA, Ottawa, May 27 \u2014Rev.W.J.Hunter preached to the Orangemen yesterday in the Dominion Church, and in the course of his address charged the state of things now existing in Montreal on the system ofthe Roman Catholic Church, and said he would not retract the charge until the bishops and priests by their pastoral letters and pulpit utterances discountenanced acts of violence.Winnipeg, May 27.\u2014In view of the approaching nominations and local elections, Archbishop Tache has issued a lengthy pastoral letter, repudiating the doctrine that priests should not interest themselves in politics, and warning the electors of the importance of suffrage.\u2014\u2014The Immigrant Sheds are again

commander of Her Majesty's orces in British America, with his family, arrived in the Hibernian to-day.On landing he was received by a guard of honor and military band.The Hibernian brought 810 soldiers, recruits for the 20th and 97th Royal Artillery snd Engineers ter of their tropical groves.War with now in this garrison.ple were aunihilated\u2014their altars, cities, | taking endeavors on the part of Coroner Jones, it is to be regretted that, owing to i the well-known non-communicative char \u2018acter of the Indians, none of the conspirators whose work this dreadful deed doubtless was could be discovered.The following is the verdict : \u201c That on the 11th of May 1878, some person, or persons, to the jurors aforesaid unknown, did, feloniously, maliciously, and unlawfully, ignite, set fire to, and burn the stable, barns, and other outbuildings the property of one village of Caughnawaga, and that the said Ozias Meloche, in his endeavors to rescue and save from destruction, his horses and cattle, contained in the said stables, barns and outbuildings, was, in the said stables, suffocated and burned by the said fire, and then and there did instantly die.And the jurors aforesaid on their oaths, aforesaid do further say and declare : That there exists a conspiracy in the village of Caughnawaga against the Canadians and half-breeds (Metis) of this village ; that the notices posted upon the church doors of the village contained serious threats, not only against the properties of the Metis, but they also threatened their lives ; that there is no good or fundamental reason for the origin of such conspiracy, as all the Canadians and Metis arc honest, respectable and industrious ; that the fire which destroyed the property of Ozias Meloche, and in which he perished, was no doubt the act of an incendiary ; that the deceased Ozias Meloche was destined to be the first victim upon whom the coun- spirators were to vent and exercise their cruelty aud vengeance ; that the Chiefs of the Iroquois tribe of Caughnawaga are culpable in not having suppressed and publicly disapproved and condemned the posting of these notices, and it is to Le regretted that not one of the Chiefs of the village attended the inquest.And we humbly pray that the Government will take and adopt the necessary measures for tho protection of the individuals whom the conspirators desire and are determined to oppress and persecute.\u201d Signed by eleven of the Jurors, and three made their marks.There exists in the District of Bedford a society called \u201cThe Society for the Detection and Arrest of Horse-Thieves.\u201d 1f a member of the society has a horse stolen, he immediately inforins the Secretary, who without delay despatches two or three detectives

leaves it the same as that of the responsible Ministers, it is understoud the Catholic Council of Public Instruction, at a meeting which the bishops attended last week, adopted a resolution condemning the said reduction.Four or five hundred Orangemen are expected from Cleveland and vicinity to take part in the 12th of July celchration at London.A curious case\u2014the re-appearance of a supposed dead man\u2014has occurred in Wil- mot township, Waterloo county, Ont.Michael Meyer, living with his parents near Petersburg at the time, left his father's house thirty years ago, being twenty years of age at the time of his departure.The other day he returned, found his father has long since died, and took possession of his share of the property.His relatives were much surprised.As Mr Donald McKinlay was lately crossing Bass Lake, Ont., in a row boat he observed a bear swimming in the boat's wake.He headed for the animal, over- touk and attacked it with an oar.After a hard fight of about half an hour's duration the bear was vanquished.Twice bruin very nearly succeeded in climbing into the boat.After the prize was brought to land he was weighed, and kicked the beam at 170 pounds.Galt, May 23.\u2014The little steamer Empress of India, which has been placed on the Grand River, and which on Monday last commenced its trips for the season on Blain\u2019s Dam, to all appearances was perfectly safe for the business required of it, and the calamity which has overtaken it was totally unlooked fdr.Last evening about eight o'clock a party of some fifteen oung men and two young women em- rked on the vessel for a sail up the river.As the boat was crossing the dam something appeared to go wrong with the rudder, and the head of the boat could not be turned sufficiently up the stream to enable it to counteract the effects of the current caused by the flow over the dam.The west side of the dam was reached without mishap, however, but the point where the boat would have touched being rough and rocky, an order was given to reverse the engine, which was done.The boat again getting out into the stream, an effort was made to turn the bow up the current, but again it seemed as if the rudder would not work, and when at last it did it unfortunately was turned the wrong way and the boat partly headed directly for the fall, and before those on board could realize their position the steamer drifted broadside to the edge of the fall and in a moment went crashing over into its final leap, however, two of its occupants jumped into the water, and one, in an almost miraculous manner, man- to obtain a foot-hold on the water's and to resist the current until he reached the shore.The other was not so fortunate, being carried over the fall, but he was eventually taken out of the river some distance below in an insensible condition.Ot those who went over with Ozias Meloche, being and situated in the! tery at Ottawa had both hands blown off\" by the premature discharge of the cannon, the boiling water beneath.Before it took ! saved, one havin, an escape that was \u2018perfectly miratulous.She floated down the stream until she struck the weatern jer of the upper bridge, against whic the water presed her so tightly that par- : ties were enabled to get ropes and rescue her.The dam is about ten or twelve feet high, with about a foot of water flowing over the fall.The depth of the water : above the fall is from twelve to eighteen feet.Quebec, May 23.\u2014 The remains of : Bishop Laval were to-day interred amid imposing ceremonies and the firing of minute guns.Lying on purple silk the bones were dressed in wax and covered with a perfect wealth of flowers.Various public bodies had contributed to decorate the casket, which, surrounded by priests robed in the rich pontifical vestments of the Catholic Chu the following took colleges with bands, clergy to the number of about 200, and the bishops of the Province ; rector, professors, and students of the Seminary and Laval University ; the Lieutenant-Governor, members of the Executive Council, Senators, members of the Dominion and Provincial Legislatures, foreign cansuls, police magistrates, Recorder, Indian deputation, military officers, Mayor and Corporation, medical faculty, national, literary, musical, and charitable societies.Tho streets were crowded with people along the line of march, which was thickly and gaily decorated with flags and suitable inscriptions.The concluding ceremonies in the Basilica were very imposing.Mgr.Conroy occupied the archiepiscopal throne, and mass was chanted by the Archbishop of Quebec, all the bishops of the Province and the Archbishop of Manitoba being present.The sermon was preached by Mgr.Racine, Bishop of Sher- rooke.At the conclusion the remains were finally interred below the altar in the Seminary chapel.Wonderful success appears to attend the scarch for gold of the miners in the Chau- diere Valley.Two men exhibited at the Crown Lands Department this week the result of their labor at the St Onge Cum- pany\u2019s diggings for the space of a month \u2014seven ounces of gold in nuggets, which is worth something over $17 per ounce.During the last two months the receipts .of the Crown Lands Department for gold licenses havo been over 8100 per month.i A Victory For Prosinrtion.\u2014 Two \u2018years ago the Prohibitory bylaw was car- [ried in the Township of Hinchinbrook, County of Huntingdon, by a majority of two.This year the anti-Prohibitionists had a repealing bylaw submitted to the people when the polling took place on Monday and Tuesday the 20th and 21st inst, and resulted in a victory for prohibition by a majority of fifty.So the Township is safe for no license for two years longer, and likely if the temperance men do their duty for many years to come.Persons who bave been selling illegally have been prosecuted, and will no doubt be sent to jail.The temperance party have Leen found fault with for not prosecuting those illegal trafficers, but when such was done it was called persecution.Seeing that the temperance organizations are now sustained in their efforts to do away with the sale, it is hoped they will be as diligent in prosecuting those who may violate the law.\u2014Witness.Some one has sent the Sherbrooke Gazette a relic ploughed up by Mr Jerome Rolfe on his farm near St Francis River, in the township of Eaton.It appears to be an old-fashioned bayonet, such as it was necessary to unscrew before firing.The letters \u201cDomingo\u201d are plainly visible along one side of the blade.Stamped on each side, however, is a fleur de lis, the emblem of France.The weapon is rust- eaten, and may very well have been in the ground since the disastrous retreat of Col.Roger and his New Englanders along the St Francis in the olden times.Collingsood, May 24\u2014The steamer City of Winnipeg, from Lake Superior, arnved to-day at 6 am, with 80 passengers and a cargo of Manitoba wheat, comprising 32,000

was accompanied by the remarkable phenomenon of a rain of sticks, stones, boards, and twigs of various sizes, and large hail.The cyclone came from the south-west, probably from Mineral Point, hetween Mount Vernon and Oregon.It was especially severe, and fifteen to twenty bars are reported destroyed.A Norwegian living near Mount Vernon narrowly escaped death, and his father-in- law, Narve Bergt,
