behalf of Mrs Trude], in connection with her suit for separation from her husband, the Hon Senator Trude].The judgment ordered the husband to allow Mrs Trudel to see her children before their return to school.The two eldest are at the Jesuits\u2019 College and the two youngest at the Friars\u2019 School at Cote des Neiges.His Honor did not grant that part of the tition asking that she be allowed to eep the youngest child with her.In bis defence, Mr Trudel has filed an\u2018affidavit made by Mr Napoleon Renaud, a brother of Mrs Trudel, which is to the following effect :\u2014\u201cI know the parties in this case, for besides the plaintiff being my sister, and the defendant my brother-in-law, I lived several yeats at their house between the years 1868 and 1873.I have had continual relations with the defendant and with the plaintiff up to about two years ago.And since that time I have, as executor of my late father, the Hon L.Renaud, had frequent interviews with her.1 bave had ample occasion to judge of the manner in which Mr Trudel directs the education of his children, in whom I take a great interest.He gave it great attention, and neglects nothing to procure them a perfect education.He is very kind to them, and very attentive to their requirements.I believe it to be for their highest welfare, even for that of the youngest to remain under the immediate care of their father.As to the plaintiff, I do not consider her qualified\u2019 to direct the education of her children.Except certain material necessities, such as those of the toilet, to which she pays even an excessive attention, she does not seem to understand the importance, or even the nature of a good domestic, religious and intellectual education.Being of a proud, vindictive, selfish and ionate charactor, she too often gives them the spectacle of a persou idly occupied with the desire of satisfying her hatreds and caprices, for the triumph of which she is liable to givo herself up, to the greatest violences.She often breaks : out into violent and outrageous abuse of ber husband, with intemperance of language, which often gives a very bad example to her children.I have often told | the defendant that he should have her in- | | ! terdicted, or should obtain a separation de corps, and I am sure that the same advice has been given him by other members of the plaintiff's family.If I had been sub- | jected to the samo treatment, in his place, I would have long ago asked for a sopara- tion.Iam in no way moved by hatred to the plaintiff, but notwithstanding my relationship to her, 1 make it out of justice to tht defendant and to prevent the education of the children from falling into the hands of a perfectly incapable person.Tho following incident of the great bush fire at Upton is given by the Gazette reporter : At ono of the bridges over a dry ditch was shown the spot wherein Edouard Leroy and two women wero imprisoned by tho flames on Monday afternoon.They wore escaping with other members of the family, tbe son driving.Leroy and the women were soated upon a large feathor matress, and at the bridge the waggon jolted so badly that the man and two of the women wero thrown off.The driver whipped his horse the harder as the flames were upon them.scape scemed hopeless for Leroy and his companions, when a bright idea struck him, and calling the women to follow him he entered the ditch and pushing the mattress up close to tho end from which the flames were approaching be thus formed a petit cul de sac, and knowing that feathers would singe but not burn he felt safe.Occasionally the fire would find its way in, when with a handful of mud he would step thë opening thru which it came.While ho was at this work tho half dazed women woro at their beads and paternostors.They were five hours in this living oven.The mattress was singed thru half way, and tho refugees were more than warm enough for comfort.Thoy were unhurt.Several liâres, rats and\u2019 squirrols sought the same refuge, and s0 frightened were the women that they never thought of harming them.The common danger levelled the human animal and the Least.Mrs MePhorson, wife of Charles MePhor- son, blacksmith, Motcalfe village, Ont., met her death last week by mixing Paris green in a cup instead of tartaric acid.Decoased was sixty years of age and vory short-sight ed, honce the

province to province.They were in Winnipeg 23 hours after leaving St Paul.The trip was accomplished several hours quicker than has ever before been made by any train or party.MISCELLANEOUS.Edinburgh, Sept.9.\u2014A London correspondent says the controversies botween England and France respecting tho French encroachments on the West Coast of Africa have been complicated by somo high-handed proceedings of the French commandant on the Melliconoce River.Theso vexatious acts are probably intended to worry England into ceding the Gambia to France, an object which every French Government for many years past has steadily pursued.A despatch from Titusville, Fla, states that a white man and a colored man, who were aboard the Vera Cruz, have been washed ashore alive ; also that a raft containing twelve persons has been picked up.The white man was much exhausted and could give no information.Naples, September 10.-.-Mount Vesuvius ix in an active state of eruption.A great explosion in an English colliery occurred on Thursday.The foul air in the Seaham mine suddenly took fire, and out of the men at work only 60 escaped, the victims numbering 165, who leave 76 widows and 284 orphans.A fund is being raised for their support.A curious sight in the counties of Pas- saic and Bergen, N.J., is the migration of potato bugs.The meadows, waggon roads, and railroads swarm with these pests, all moving westward.In some places the are so thick upon the railroad as to impede travel on the up grade.Miss Helen Gladstone, daughter of the Premicr, is among the successful candidates

extinguishing such fires.Ashes and sand are equally good.Owing to the hard times marriages have decreased in Ireland.Last year the number was 23,313, or 3,596 below the average of twelve preceding years, and 149 less than the total for Scotland, where the opulation is below that of Ireland by 702,298.An inventive genius filled a small tarle- tan sack with a spoonful of cayenne pepper and tacked

least largely diminishing orders for the Americaa product.The Times gives a description of Eric- sons's new torpedo, a remarkable engine of naval warfare, before which iron armor is rendered practically useless.The engine is described as a gigantic piece of ordnance of extraordinary calibre, constructed in soveral sections for easy shipment, and propelling an enormous torpedo carrying a destructive charge of dynamite.For burns or scalds nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound.It is softer as a varnish for a burn than collodion, and being always on hand can be applied immediately.It is also more cooling than the \u201csweet oil of cotton\u201d which was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smartin pain.It is the contact with the air whic! gives the extreme discomfort experienced from ordinary accidents of this kind ; and anything which excludes air and prevents inflammgation is the thing to be at once applied.The egg is also considered one of the best remedies for dysentery.Beaten up lightly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends by its emollient qualities, to lessen the inflammation of the stomach and intestines, and by forming a transient coating on thoso or- ans, to enable nature to assume her ealthful sway over the diseased body.Two, or at most three, eggs per day would be all that would be required in oglinary cases ; and since the egg is not merely médicine, but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise, and the quieter the patient is kept, the more certain and rapid is the recovery.\u2014 BEAUHARNOIS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.THE show of this society was held at St Louis on Thursday, and was favored by fine weather.The directors, with the object of inducing the sale of members\u2019 tickets, raised the admission fee from 10 cents to 25, but, notwithstanding, there was an average attendance, while about a hundred more members\u2019 tickets were taken.The receipts at the gates amounted to $200 and the membership this year approaches 400.Except in cattle, the show was rather in advance of that of last year.The absence of Mr Benning's stock, as was to be expected, affected sensibly the display both of cattle and sheep.The best class in the cattle wassthe two- year old heifers.Among the bulls, both young and aged, there were fine specimens of the Ayrshire breed.The jud did not consider the sheep quite up to the usual mark of this society.\u2018The first-prize shearling ewes were a very handsome pair, and attracted much attention.Mr Drys- dale\u2019s ram is too well known to need to be referred to, and his stock are beginning to speak for themselves.The second-prize ram was of good weight.The swine were a credit to the county, and there have been worse exhibits of Berkshires at Provincial exhibitions.The spring pigs, both in breeding and size, left little to be desired, and farmers wanting to get \u2018into pure stock need not go to the island of Montreal, for they can buy as good animals at much less prices in the parish of St Louis.The first-prize aged boar is a great block of a pig, while there was a sow that would go over 400tbs.The horses were numerous and better than last year, The first-prize stallion was When the Jude O' Day,\" aud their old one, \u201cLord Haddo,\u201d wound.Altho' not a handsome horse, there

a good class ; the first-prise one is off Conqueror, the second is a G w, and the 4th a Sir Colin.In the light class, the first was a good colt, and the rest poor.There was a special class for yearling colts off Lord Haddo, and, so far as any opinion can be formed of animals at so immature an age, they are going to do well.The first rize went to one that weighed 10901bs.lent.In the light

the steamer Anglia, of the Anchor Line, 368 miles off St John's.The latter, laden with 338 cattle from Boston for London, grain and provisions, sank in four hours.The Trongate resumed her voyage, and sent the officers ahd crew of the Anglia ashore here last night.After the collision, every effort was made to save the steamer, but without success.When the first boat was lowered it was discovered that the bottom had been pierced by the horns of oxen swimming and scrambling for life in the water.The boat rapidly filled and a rush was instantly made from the sinkin steamer.In a short time the boats, wit all the ship's company and passengers, were moving away from the steamer and heading in the direction of the barque.It was on 7 by frequent applications of the oars and boat-hooks that drowning steers were prevented from working ruin to the shipwrecked passengers.It was a matter of speculation on board the steamer\u2019s boats as to the possibility of the baïque being afloat.However, after half-an-hour\u2019s rowing, doubt gave way to certainty, and the boats were beneath the bows of the Tron- gate.After the boats left a detonation was heard, probably caused by the bursting of the steamer\u2019s boilers.The officers of the steamer are of opinion that had they remained 5 minutes longer by the steamer they would all have been swallowed up in the suction around the sinking steamer, or blown into atoms by the boiler explosion.Mr George Anderson, M.P., considers, in the Contempo Review for September, the prospects of the Canadian Dominion in to its connection with England.He propounds the question, by what means a closer union can be brought about with Canada, 50 as to quicken her national life, stimulate her energies, vivify her trade, people Lier solitudes, and avert the dangers of seccession or disruption.\u201cBy what mutual and reasonable concessions,\u201d he asks, \u201ccan we fairly hope that the political life of the Dominion may become more thoroughly English, and that its interests and sympathies may be more fully identified with those of the.mother country ?It has already boen suggested that, on the one hand, the Dominion should open its ports to British trade ; and that, on the other, Great Britain should aid in constructing the Pacific Railway.Suppose, in addition, that we should take over the Dominion debt and incorporate it with our own ?The old debt amounts to about thirty-two millions, and building the railway might add twelve or possibly fifteen.Thy old being all at four, five, and six per cent, could be paid off and be re-bor- rowed at a lower rate of interest than, is now paid, and the new could be ot under our guarantee, ches only theirs.Canada could then be called u to pay her quoté of Imperial taxation.implies representation, and she would an , airly gntitled to have representatives in the Imperial Parliament, and to have a reasonable number of seats in both Houses.\u201d : The Gaelic

THURSDAY, SEPT.16, 1880.Tue Sultan has found another excuse for delaying the naval demonstration by the Powers, in discharging his Ministers and forming a new Cabinet.That the new Government will be any more energetic than the old in ceding the provinces that Turkey agreed to under the Berlin treaty, is hardly likely, but the Powers, under the circumstances, are obliged to give them a short time to show what they will do.The real obstacle to a settlement is believed to be the Sultan himself, who has all the hatred of his race for Christians with more of his predecessor's craft, and who will not, until he sees there is no other alternative, give up an inch of territory.Tho his treasury is bankrupt and his army a long way in arrears, he continues to indulge in unheard of luxury and extravagance.The combined fleet is a magnificent one and, if needs be, will make short work of the Turkish fortifications.THE bush tires in Upton, Eastern Townships, are among the most terrible known since those which devastated the county of Ottawa.They are still spreading and will continue to do so until we have a soaking rain.So far 150 families have been burned out, and many more are likely to suffer.They are exclusively habitants and are suffering from their own imprudence in putting in fire.Much sympathy is felt for them and a relief fund has been opened, to which the Quebec Government has given $1,000.The country devastated is stated to have a black muck soil with ridges wooded with hemlock.THE Selkirk election has resulted in the defeat of Donald A.Smith, the Liberal candidate, by a majority of 131.As the representative of that very unpopular corporation, the Hudson Bay Company, Mr Smith was objectionable\u2019 to many of the electors and his defeat is not surprising, the more so when it is considered that the people of the constituency so ardently desire the Pacific railway, which the present administration is pushing on too rapidly for the welfare of the rest of the Dominion.At last election Mr Smith's majority was only 9.& In consequence of the Huntingdon Fair falling on our publishing day, this issue of the Gleaner is printed on Wednesday morning.The Fair is going to surpass even that of last year, the entries of stock being in excess.The Hon Mr Lynch, we regret to hear, at the 11th hour, has sent word that he will not be present, and it is hardly likely that any one from the South Shore company will be able to attend.#7 There arrived at Ste Martine, the middle of last week, a number of wheelbarrows, scrapers, and tools, for the construction of the railway between that place and St Isidore.A body of laborers were to come up yesterday aud begin work.The engineers bave returned and Since the beginning of the eurvey, the engineers have met with considerable opposition from the habitants, who objected to their traversing their fields of grain ; one indignant farmer going the length of having them taken up for trespass and so making a fool of himself.The company is finding much difficulty in arranging for the right of way, absurdly extortionate demands being frequently made.The company declares its intention not only to build the road as far as Ste Martine this Fall but, at least, to complete the survey to Huntingdon.&@ Bush fires extend over the greater part of the flat land in the District and are doing much damage, particularly in St Anicet, Godmanchester, St Stanislas, and St Cecile.Much fine standing timber is being destroyed and land burned down to the clay.Wells and streams never before known to give out are now dry.&&F The great hurricane, in which the steamer Vers Cruz went to the bottom, was one of the most terrific ever experienced, and during its force many a gallant ship was wrecked.The storm passed over the Bermudas, destroying banana and other fruit trees and much property.The steamer Bermuda, which plies between New York and Bermuds, was caught in the heart of the storm and fought against it for 48 hours.John B.Millar, son of Daniel Millar of this village, who is chief engineer, reports they had a terrible struggle with the storm but managed to escape ffom it without damage.S&F Mr Holton, M.P., sent a donation of $100 to the funds of the Chateauguay Agricultural Society.afta second agricultural society was formed in this county, and yet the show of Friday was the 10th it has held.During this first deeade of ita existence, the society has shown much vitality and been well-man- aged, proof of which is given in its excellent financial standing.Whether it has exercised the influence that was looked for in raising the standard of farming within its limits is another question, and comparing its show of last week with that of 1871 it cannot be truthfully said that there has been the improvement that ought to have taken place in ten years.The horses and sheep are no better than those exhibited at the first show, but there has been an advance in cattle and swine.The spirit of emulation, that exists in other parts of the District, causing the more intelligent farmers to strive after better stock, is not as active within the jurisdiction of No 2 as the interests of its population render desirable.The entries on Friday were fewer than usual, and, as a whole, the show was not equal to that of last year, which was, however, exceptionally good.The great drouth, by keeping stock in poor condition, probably was the chief cause in the falling off, which was most marked in the cattle.Four stallions entered the ring.The first prize was given to Mr Robson's, which was ruled out last year on account of lameness.It is a fair-bodied horse, off Plow- boy.The two other prize-takers are much lighter.The 20d prize is off the Chateau- guay Cleveland; the 3rd off Splendor.Neither the heavy nor light brood mares were creditable, but of the two the heavy were the best.A large proportion were unsound, and the same is to be said of all the classes, curbs, spavins, and ringbones being too frequent.When it is well- established that bone diseases in horses are hereditary, it is surprising that any intelligent farmer should breed off either an unsound mare or stallion.It behoves our societies to act firmly in this regard, fôr the increase of unsound horses is becoming serious, and they should instruct their judges on no account to award a prize toa blemished animal.The first-prize heavy mare was a very good one, and her colt was off the Cleveland.The colt of the second-prize mare was off Lamb's horse, and the third off Robson\u2019s.Only one horse-colt was entered, and it was such_a poor creature that the judges were not for giving it a prize.The heavy fillies were a fair class : the first off the Robson horse, the second off Saxon Monarch, and the third off Brownlee\u2019s.The first-prize light filly is a True Blue colt and a good one; the remainder were indifferent.The first- prize draft team is a fine span, one of the pair being particularly good.Both the 1st and 2d prize team are off Plowboy.The drivers, single and double, were numerous and, probably, the two best classes of the day.The decisions of the judges probably surprised many around the ring, but they ruled out several of the more likely competitors on account of blemishes.The single-driver that took first prize, is the same that carried it off at the show of both Huntingdon societies last year.The first prize carriage team are Splendors.The saddle-horses were not of much merit, but gave amusement by their jumping.There are replacing the pickets on the line, Were 4 sucking-colts entered, and the first which were pulled out \u2018by the habitants.prize went to that of the mare which took second prize in her class.Of the geldings, three were good ones.In the cattle, the best animal on the ground was a yearling Shorthorn bull, owned by Mr Brownlee.In the Ayrshires there were also several very good animals, which would have looked to more advantage had they been in better condition.In the grades, the heifers were the best.There was an average display of sheep, comprising Cotswolds, amoug which the first-prize shearling ram may be particularized.The first-prize lambs, we under- swine were excellent, and formed a capital show of Berkshires.than we have seen before, and we would suggest to the society the propriety of putting up benches so that they may be seen.The vegetables were what was to be expected in so dry a season.The melons and corn cannot be excelled by any other county show.The potatoes, also, were good.Under the heading of implements, the exhibits were few.Mr Graves had a couple of plows, a horse-hoe, a corn-sheller, appreciated by sugar-makers, The butter tub of Robert was as sightly a butter package as could be wished.The building was fairly filled but not erowded.Of factory butter, despite the largeness of the prizes, only one tub was entered, and that from the well-known Stockwell factory.There were just three tabs of dairy butter, and that which got first prise was considered by the judges to be very fine, In cheese, also, the com.stood, are off Mr Drysdale\u2019s ram.The \u2018 Of poultry there was, we think, more |* and a furnace-door and bars, that will be] of factory and 3 of dairy.There was, as bas always been the case at this show, 8 perticularly fine display of maple sugar and syrup, of honey and of bread.Mr W.C.Robson took first prize again in maple sugar.The first prize syrup was as fresh and limpid as if made the week before.Mr George Bustard had a glass hive, in which the bees could be seen at work.It attracted a great deal of attention.His honey was very fine.Mrs Bustard, for the fourth year running, took first prize for bread.The entries of apples were few and not of the merit of previous years, none of the larger fruit-growers exhibiting.The first prize collection comprised 27 varieties ; the second 32.The first bad the most best named varieties.The plate of Alexanders which took the first prize as the heaviest apples, weighed on an average 13 ounces.The plate of Fameuse were really splendid.Mr Craik had for gghibition only specimens of Concord, Creveling, and Adirondack grapes, which were much superior to what were regularly entered.His Adirondacks could not be surpassed, being fully larger than the Concords.Mrs Thompson was the only exhibitor of growing-plants, and had a very nice collection.The first prize for the best bouquet went to Mr Johnson, as it has done for the past 2 years.It was chastely arranged.The domestic manufactures were first- class, the blankets and shawls being peculiarly deserving.The first-prize yarn was very fine, and yet it was surpassed by a small hank, which was ruled out, there not being enough of it.The articles of faney work were fewer than last year, yet sufficiently numerous to make an attractive display.There were two paintings in watercolors of lilies, which were most delicately executed, and which received inadequate recognition at the hands of the judges.; The Society during the year has acquired two more acres of land, which they have added to their grounds, which are now sufficiently commodious.The trotting round the course was continued, and proved more a source of annoyance than ever, for, from the dryness of the soil and the strength of the breeze, the passing wheels raised clouds of sand which were most obnoxious to pedestrians.The attendance, as indicated by the receipts at the gate, was fully as large as last year, the amount taken in being $138.The ladies of Trinity Episcopal church furnished the dinner, and cleared $140.The board of this Society set an example of liberality, and have done so for years, which none of their compeers imitate.At this show they gave, in conjunction with their secretary, Mr Boardman, $26, which was divided up into special prizes for different objects.$3 of the amount went for a boys\u2019 foot race, which caused much amusement.The winners were : First Race\u2014Boys over 12 and under 15 years.8 entries\u2014lst Edward MeMul- lin 75e, 2d Thomas Cochran 50c, 3d Macka McMullin 25¢ Second Race-Boys under

84.& 0.Saturday there arrived by the (, Anderson from Coteau at Valleyfield a fresh, respectably-dressed man with a horseand buggy.He went toSt Onge'sand, after looking about to see that the coast was clear, sent a boy down to the boat for his rig, whom he met, and getting in drove of By this time he found out that he had been recognized as the thief who stole the horse and buggy from Hunter Brothers of this village, and seeing bailiff Poitras with hotel-keeper St Onge driving furiously past to overtake him, he unperceived got into a back street of Valley- feld and had dinner at the Farmers\u2019 house, Letting his pursuers get well ahead, he went on to Durham, where, his horse giving out, he had to put up at Prejent's hotel, where, altho it was early, he went at once to bed, evidently to gvoid observation.Mr Poitras, by this time, had found he had missed his man and, returning to Valleyfield, discovered how he had been duped.Determined not to be beat, he started at once for Durham, where he learned froma Mr Prejent that the man was in bed.Telegraphing to Huntingdon, the Messrs Hunter and others drove down, and with some difficulty got access to the rascal\u2019s bedroom, when he was at once identified, and, having been handcuffed, was brought up to Moirs.When first taken he kept silent, refusing to answer any questions, but on Sunday he made several contradictory statements, To Mr George Hunter he said that, on hiring the rig at his livery, he had a bottle of liquor with him, and, getting drunk on the road, he was pitched out and woke up in the ditch, the horse being nowhere in sight.He declared that when arrested he was on his way back to settle\u2014a very likely story seeing that his cash amounted to only $28, To others, he said he had met a brother Montrealer at Herdman\u2019s Corners, where he got drunk and lost the rig, and varied in localing the scene of his misfortune, sometimes saying it was in Hinchinbrook and at others at Trout River Lines.The best proof that he was lying is the fact that when seen at\u2019 Trout River Lines he was sober.On Monday morning he was brought before Daniel Shanks, Esq., J.P., when he gave his name as D.McDonald of Montreal, which is undoubtedly an alias, he stating that he did not wish, for the sake of his friends, to havo his real name known.He refused to make any declaration and was committed for trial at the approaching criminal term at Beau- harnois.Before leaving, he gave Mr Moir the address of the owner of the buggy and horse he had when arrested, and who lives at Vankleek Hill.He positively denied all knowledge of where Hunter Brothers\u2019 rig is.The fellow would never be taken for a criminal, has apparently been in a respectable way at one time, and is probably a native of Glengarry, he being able to talk Gaelic and acquainted with parties there.\u2014\u2014\u2014Since the foregoing was written, the owner of the rig the fellow had when arrested has arrived and claimed it.Mr Lajeunesse states that he keeps a livery at Vankleek Hill, and that late on Friday afternoon the prisoner came to hire a horse and buggy, stating that he was looking after some mortgages, and was going to Caledonia Springs and thenog to L'Orignal to consult a lawyer about them, and would be back on Saturday evening.Instead of going to Cale- donis Springs, he drove to Lancaster, but failed to reach it in time to catch the ferry, his intention evidently being to cross to Dundee and thence into the States.Foiled at this point, he turned | © and, without feeding the horse, drove hard to Coteau, which hè reached in time for the noon boat.Had his horse not given out, his\u2018intention unquestionably was to drive for the Lines by way of Anderson's Corners, for which place he was asking.jeunesse was overjoyed at recovering his property, and had started at once on receiving the telegraph.There is some Teason to belive that the real name of the thief is Burtell, and that he followed some kind of business at Dewittville a great many years since.From information received, it is expected he will be identified 83 the person who stole a horse and buggy from Bedford, in the Eastern Townsbips, Some months ago, and that he has confederates on the American side.a git Sullivan ran last west Le © the survey for the cadastre of St Aniost, .held at Ottawa

miles from Galway, and it was reported that the landlord intended to put another tenant in possession.This morning a grave was found to have been dug on the farm by unknown hands, near which a notice

the child enveloped in cambric and lace on a golden tray.Then the Prime Minister raised the coverlet, and the King presented the new born infant to the diplomatic corps and the officials of the Court.A Madrid correspondent says the popular demonstration over the birth of an heir to the throne is comparatively slight, because of the sex of the child.The public buildings were illuminated, but the concourse on the streets was small.The infant will be christened Mercedes, and about a dozen ofher names.The birth was announced to the city by artillery.The Pope having consented to become the

Western Railway.This train, which comes from Edinburgh and Glasgow, it appears was supposed to carry among its passen- ers the Russian Grand Duke Constantine and Admiral Popoff, of the Russian navy, and some other Russian off- cials who had been visiting Greenock for the purpose of examining certain new vessels now in course of construction there.Nihilist refugees in England, it is said, hit upon this plan of blowing up the train and destroying these officials as well as the passengers, for the pur- ose of demonstrating that even in Eng- and the lives of the Russian Prince and his aides were not safe from the vengeance of their terrible and merciless enemies.By a most providential interruption, this well laid plot failed of accomplishment altho the escape was a narrow one.Near the station of Busby, not far from London, some plate-layers working on the track discovered at a spot over two hundred yards from the village some fish-plates which had been tampered with.The foreman of the plate-layers made an examination, which resulted in the discovery that four pounds of dynamite had been placed under the plates.The plates which joined two of the rails had been removed, and the dynamite placed underneath.Thedynamite was connected with an india-rubber tube containing gunpowder.The locomotive in its passage cut this, but at à point where, by an almost miraculous accident, the percussion caps which were intended to fire the dynamite had been misplaced.They failed to explode, and the train in safety over what was-to have blown the train and its passengers to pieces.The train had passed only a few minutes when the discovery was made.Intelligence of the affair was at once sent to London, and the most skilled detectives of Scotland Yard, with their foreign auxiliaries, are now seeking to discover the parties who devised and tried to execute this horrible plot.CANADA, The Quebec Canadien, Mr Tarte\u2019s organ, endeavors to make capital against the Liberal party for

fire, and soon Mr Moore was interviewed\u2014a young ntleman furmerly of St Johns, with an intelligent face and very obliging manner.Tho tired out with the fatigue of the day the gentleman left his bed and, with your reporter seated in a buggy alongside him, drove towards the scene of the disaster, the extent of which none seemed informed.The distinct line of demarkation between forest and clearing was unmistakable, and your reporter was about to ask, \u201cWhere is the burned district I\" when Mr Moore remarked that the area of four or five miles square upon which we looked had yesterday morning contained the dwellings and barns of some twenty-five thriving farmers.In driving along we could see the flames burning even into the ground, as tho not satisfied with the devastation wrought already.J.Toupin was the first victim of the conflagration we met, and from him we learned that Pierre Cotte, a man supposed to have been lost, had turned up all right in the morning, and that he had saved his house.Toupin had lost everything ; two barns, twenty loads of grain, two carriages, harness and farm implements, &c., escaping in the clothes he stood in.Further along the road to St Helene a man named Cliche was asked by Mr Moore how he had fared.\u201cI have just the clothes I stand in,\u201d he answered.\u201cI was at work three miles from my home when I heard that my house Was in dan- gor.Iran all the way and got there in time to see it burn.My wife escaped with only her petticoat.\u201d Poor fellow, he looked disconsolate enough.We then met his father, Louis Cliche, a very intelligent French-Canadian, who had been burned fearfully in both bands and the side of bis feet while man- fally battling with the flames.He nevertheless lost everything, & splendid house, two stables and a barn ; his stock stampeded, and his very abundant crops were destroyed.The skin was burned from off the old man\u2019s nose and cheeks, and he seemed terribly shocked at his misfortunes.Passing along we came to the first of the heavy timbered district, and for miles could see the track of the destroying element.A n load of fugitives passed us, and we ed ahead.A man driving a drove of sheep now came along, and a few moments afterward we met Dr Gauthier, who had been severely burned on the previdus evening.His burned hand was bound in liniment and the burns upon his face were dressed, \u201cThe wind is rising ; do not go too far,\u201d he remarked, as he came up to us.He could give no account of how matters stood on the St Guillaume and Germaine roads, and advised us not to go down to them, as it would be dangerous.We took his advice.We then turned toward St Helene, resolved to get as near as possible to the spot where the fire bad been at its worst.o passed some twenty farms, and the only thing to be seen standing was a few 8 of Indian corn until we reached the house of Pierre Cotte.But here we did not enter, as our conductor informed me that the Currier farm was the spot where three dead bodies were picked up in the morning.It wasno easy matter to press forward The smoke was stifling, and the very sods on the roadway were on fire, Besides, we had a spirited animal, and we were afraid lest he ahould step on some of the fire heaps that lay around and run away, in which case we should have had morning this Madame Cotte emphasized in a most emphatic way, and extremely happy at her little five-foot-three husband \u2014small bat energetic.At this place we were informed that Flavie Major, who was severely burned, could mot survive till morning, and would likely make the fourth victim.Darkness had set in, except where the wind fanned the flames to a glow and occasionally sent the sparks up in a flurry.There was nothing more to be learned of the burned district except what Mr Moore had already told us, that it covered a space of some twelve miles in length and four in breadth, and had rendered homeless from seventy to eighty families, which will foot up nearly four hundred souls.He says the calamity will render them utterly destitute and that unless help comes to them very soon from some quarter starvation will stare them in the face.Most of them lost all save the clothes they escaped in, and are now living in the houses of their frionds, The loss in money is estimated at seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars and not one with whom I have spoken is insured, There has been word left by Dr Prevost that at St Valerien the bush fires have caused a loss of some $40,000 worth of farm produce and houses and barns.The wind has now subsided and the chances are that the worst is over in this vicinity.A gentleman in this city informed a Witness reporter this morning that it was his belief that the rapid progress of the conflagration was due to de debris lyi around as à result of the large tanbe trade of this district.The bark he says is highly inflammable, while the tops of hemlock trees are known to be so.m five stations in the vicinity of Upton five car loads are shipped daily on an average.From Upton Mr J.T.Miller ships for England on an average two carloads of what is known as essence of tanbark, that portion of the bark with the highest tanning qualities.It would be well if this matter were investigated that means might be taken to prevent a recurrence of those dreadful scenes described above.\u2014 REVENUE AND TAXATION.Tax Finance Minister and his organs have been congratulating themselves on the fact that for the first time in many years our exports in 1879-80 exceeded our in .This proved nothing more than that the tide of returning prosperity had not yet risen so high as to bring about a normal condition of trade, and it will be found at the end of 1880-81 that the balance this year is largely the other way\u2014 that is to say, if the country continues to prosper.We called attention months ago to the indications that we were at the commencement of an era of prosperity, and our predictions of that time have been as fully realized as the present oppressive tariff would admit of.But for its excessive burdens the producing and cousuming classes, which are not benefitted in any way by its exactions, would be richer by the amount it extracts unnecessarily from their pockets for the benefit of a favored few.However, the tariff, we are glad to say, though it has retarded, has not been able to prevent the removal of the depres- peo le pre once more purchasing most reely of im The most Poel affect of this altered state of affairs is an improvement in the the Tilley tariff we must be large import- than it did.There is every reason to ben tly reduced if not entirely prevented, and thas there would have been for the current year, 1880-81,a very large surplus of revenue over expenditure, without the barrassing exactions to which we are now subj The followi tres ab my another large addition to the expendituse.From present

the facts we are about to relate should be better understood, and to show, too, that what was seen could not be produced by accidental or by artificial means such as \u2018magic lanterns,\u2019 or such like ap us.It will be remembered that on Sunday, the feast of our Blessed Lady, the weather in this locality was magnificently fine, yet the thunder pealed with crashing sound and the lightning flashed with startling vividness, On the evening of that day the or phans left the convent to play in the grounds in front of the new builds , and they were told not to be alarmed by the thunder, but to.pray to Our Lady of Succour should they frightened.With whole faith of Qur Lady's protection, with which the little ones like their elders are possessed, they \"passed into the grounds sad to their

the new buildings, while bun- dreds e their way into the field by the same route, and lay anxiously watching in the direction of the statue.The form of the Blessed Virgin was not beheld, but a porter in the institution, while passing in front of the new building, saw a food of light rise from the direction of the entrance under the oratory, and, ascending, envelop the statue in brilliant radiance.He ran towards the men lying in the field to ask if they had seen it, when he saw them gazing towards the building, having also witnessed the ascent of the light.are impressed ourselves by the reports brought to us from various sources, including several of the eye-wit~ nesses, and we feel convinced of the truthfulness of those to whom we have spoken.\u201d It is work more than talk that is wanted in this busy, bustling world, And although all are not armed with the orator\u2019s power and responsibility, all\u2014young and old, rich and poor\u2014can wield the mallet of the workman.This is beautifully illustrated by an incident, the accuracy of which has been abundantly established by ears since Mr and Mrs S.C.visited reland, previous to writing their well- known work descriptive of its scenes and customs.On tho ocoasion of their visit to Glendalough, the far-famed district of the Seven Churches, they observed a young lad seated on one of the tombstones, who, immediately on their approach, doffed his cap, and offered his services as guide over the district: A bargain was soon struck and the party drove off.The lad, full of the quaint old legends of the place, did his work well and to the entire satisfaction of his employers.Returning home after a day's thorough enjoyment, Mr Hall took a flask from his pocket, and, after partaking of the contents, offered some to the lad.To his utter astonishment the offer was firmly but politely declined.To Mr Hall such a thing was inexplicable\u2014an Irish boy who would not even taste whisky was, indeed, a stranger sight than any he bad seen during the day.He could not understand it.Resolved to test the boy's principles, he offered him a shilling, then olf a crown, then five shillings, if he would drink the Joisonous drug; but the lad was firm.Under the ra jacket there throbbed a true heart.termined, however, to conquer if possible, and finally offered him half a sovereign, a coin not often seen by lads of his class in those parts.It was a wicked act and Pp too much for the politeness even of an Irish boy.Drawing himself up to something akin to indignation, and pulling & témperance medal from the folds of his Jacket, be firmly told Mr Hall \u201cthat for all the his honor might be worth he would not break his pledge\u201d The history of the medal was soon told, It had belonged to the lads
