you have taken in the Indians of Oka; and for the practical proof of that interest in your advocacy of their claims.Tlerefore, I was sorry to see, in thearticle upon the death of Chief Joseph, so scathing a denunciation of Canadian Protestantism ; and, as I think, so unjust a roflection on the members and ministers of the Methodist Church, ; You are aware, in the first place, that the legal dofence of the Okns was undertaken by the «Civil Rights Alliance,\u201d on the ground that the responsibility for the vindication of their rights rests equally upon all good citizens,and that the Methodist Church ought not to meet tho obligations of that responsibility alone.That their defence has been prosecuted under unusual difficulties.That by a faithful and persistent pro- sentment of their case to the Indian Department, the Government at last consenied to pay the costs of a test case ; but the Seminary bas, by change of tactice, made it impossible, up to the present, to got such a case in the ordinary course of law, The Government alone can force a test case ; and that it is unwilling to do.In the second place, I think you know that no one has done more for the Okas than the Rov J.Borland.He investigated their caso from the bottom ; and for a time, he stood alone in the opinion that tho Indiana bave a legal claim, as well as ono in equity, to the lands of the Seigniory of Two Moan- tains, The result of these investigations he has embodied in two pamphlets, which 1 wish were in the hands of all the Protestants of Canada.1 am satisfied that he has, and is doing all that can be done by one man, to secure the rights of the Okas.He, romem.ber, is the Superintendent of our Fronch and Indian work in this Province.I need not refer to what our church has done for tho spiritual and temporal welfare of the Indians, for I am sure the cheering resulls are woll known to yourself.I hope, sir, when you calmly review the whole subject, you will greatly modify, if you do not entirely withdraw, that painful, and, as 1 believe, unmerited, reflection.I assure you, with the exception of that one paragraph, I heartily concur in yoor appreciative notico of Chiof Joseph, and of tho cause which was so near his heart.Tears of sincere sorrow were shed in our pareonage when we saw the report ef hie death.1am, Yours truly, 20.Granby, Que., Feb.14, 1881.+ Roozns.WINTER ROADS IN MANITOBA.To the Editor of the Canadian Gleaner.Srr,\u2014In looking over the Gleaner a fow days ago 1 was very much amused on reading an article on the mode of making sleigh-roads in Manitoba, aud thinking that a few words on the subject from an old resi- dont of Hinchinbrook (tho\u2019 now a resident of Manitoba) would be interesting to many of your readers, mako bold to nsk your indulgence in granting me a small space in your paper.Thero are no rains in Manitoba in the fall, consequently there is no ice when the snow falls, The fall weather is delightful,\u2014dry and clear; and as the mosquitoes and black flies take their departure with the first hard frost it is the most agreeable time in the year.Tho winter is cortainly much frostier than in Quebec, but on the whole much moro pleasant from the fact that it is not near so stormy.There has not beon more than six inches of snow this winter.Tho sleighing, however, is first-class, not only where the \u201cfurrows are plowed,\u201d but in every direction, as there aro trails broken all over the prairie.For soil, climate, and future prospects this country stands withont à rival.I remain, yours truly, CORNELIUS BAIRD, January 23, 1881.: CANADA.Tho robbery of some $12,000 belonging to the Merchants Bank from the steamboat Boauhiarnois some two years ago, while she was proceeding up the canal, and tho arrost of Alphonso Lefebvre, charged with being the thief, will be frosh in the minds of many of our readers, He was tried and acquitted, but at the instance of the Bank was arrested on 4 capias, and has since spent his Lime in the gaol notwithstanding several efforts of his counsel to liberato him.However, by an agreement ontered into a fow days since between Mr W.W.Robertson, Q.C., for the plaintiff, and Mr Bouthellier for the defendant, an order was obtained from the Sheriff for the liberation of tho prisoner, who was released on Thursday afternoon after some twenty months\u2019 incarceration in the gaol.\u2014 Montreal Witness.The letters patent to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company were issued by the Gov- ernor-Goneral in Council on Wednesday, and published in the Canada

about eighteen years, lost her life, and her brother George, two years younger, was so badly injured that it is doubtful whether he will recover.It appears that they burned charcoal for a living, and dwelt in a log but with only ono entrance and no windows.About 11 o'clock a fire they had been burning outside set fire to the shanty at the entrance, and when tho boy woke up the front part of the shanty was burning furiously.Calling to bis sister to follow be dashed thru the flames scantily clad and barefooted as he was, but got dreadfully burned.Finding that his sister did not follow, be tried to break thru the sides of the cabin.Seeing that this was impossible, be turned and ran almost a milo to the next shanty for assistance.When holp arrived his sister's body waa burned to a criap.The boy was brought to the General Hospital hero to-day, and tho suffering terriblo pain there are hopes of bis recovery.At the annual meeting of the Western Grand Orange Lodge, the master

House of Commons on Tuesday week by a vote of 82 to 54.The result of the vote must be gratifying to the Temperance cause, as the passage of such an amendment would practically destroy the principle of the Act, and render its application extremely difficult.Scriver and Holton voted against the bill ; Bergeron for it.UNITED STATES.The Rev Dr Cuyler in recent reminiscences as to Carlyle mentioned that he had heard bim say, \u201cI wad like to see America.Ye may talk about your Dimocracy or any other \u2018cracy, or any kind of poloetical rubbish, but the secret of happiness in America is that ye have gat a vast deal of land for a vory few people.\u201d A correspondont of the Chatoaugay Record writos thus as to the success of no-license in that village: As town meeting draws nearor, there is some evidence of à struggie between the probibitionists and the anti.prohibitionists over the election of à commissioner of excise.During the past few yosrs our people have had opportunity to judge of

liquor.For years the town had been at a standstill, so far as its material growth was concorned; it had a reputation far and near on account of the iniquities of its people ; and many farms and bomes were fast slipping away from their possessors.The first year of prohibition in a moasure stemmeod tho tide; and the following years have borne fruit that every intolligent resident of Chateaugay is and well may be proud of.To-day our town will vie with any in this section for enter priso and businoss activity.Our churches aro well supported wo have ono of the finest echool buildings in Northern

in the vicinity of three- quarters of it is hard wood, for which §2 per cord is paid.Hemlock and spruce bring $1.50 por cord, and ash and elm $1.25.The consumption of wood by the road last yoar was about 16,000 cords.Ten years ago it was 20,000 cords a year.Tho decrease is due chiefly to the fact that this railrond\u2019s engines used to run to St Albans, but do not now go beyond Rouso'a Point, and in some measure to a docreased business.\u2014Malono Palladium.A correspondent writes to tho Plattsburgh Sentinel that 150,000 trout from the State hatching house at Rochester aro to be put into

was very complacent and self-congratulatory.The country is again prosperous, and its people are invited to pay their grateful adorations, not to the kind Providence that has sent them three froitful harvests, but to Sir John, Sir Charles, and himself, as the three great high priests of the N.P.For the Government to claim the returning prosperity as their work, is as absurd as it would be for them to take the credit that Spring is coming.Great Britain, which has free-trade in its purest form, is also prospering, and if Canada has outgrown hard timas, it is because all the rest of the world with which it has dealings has also done so.Our farmers, of late, have had more to sell and what they have sold has brought good prices, and it is right to note that for these good prices they have not to thank the N.P, for the quotations at Liverpool and Glasgow continue to rule the prices of their cattle, sheep, grain, and dairy-produce, as it did before.The pretension, of which we heard so much a couple of years ago, about creating a local market that would give them higher prices too late.to build the entire road, and the beard meets to-morrow to receive their report.The feeling was very strong against allow- the Grand Trunk.It is right the people of our District should understand that, even, if the road is built in its entirety, it will not go near Durham.The intention is to make a junction with the American railway system east of Lake Champlain, which would make the road slant from Valleyfield to Ste Martine and probably to St John.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THERE has been an unusual amount of sickness among members at Ottawa this session.Mr Mackenzie has been able to attend only a few days, while Sir John, since the passage of the contract with the Syndicate, has disappeared totally, Sir Charles Tupper has been dangerously ill from congestion of the lungs.Last week, a New Brunswick member, Mr Connell, died suddenly from erysipelas.In a conversation on the subject, Mr Blake said if late sittings and the bar were dispensed with, the health of members would be improved.The general impression is that the session will close in three weeks.THE extraordinary deference of the Gov- pleted, the amount will rise to $60 a family.If our rulers comfort themselves that our farming

the stamp Dalveen or of resigning.It Will be recollected that the reverend gentleman got the Department to change the name of the postoffice from Herdman's ing the road to become a mere branch of Corners to Dalveen, and that, on their finding out that the alteration in name was most distasteful to all concerned, they substituted Herdman.The fiat of the Department, however, was disregarded by its subordinate, who continued to use the stamp Dalveen.After bearing with him for a number of months, the Department resolved on asserting its authority, and sent Mr King to do so.Mr Niven refused to give up the stamp Dalveen, which he aflirmed was a classic name, and also refused to.resign, whereupon Mr King took possession of the postoffice property and transferred it to Wm.Anderson, storekeeper at the Corners, whom he appointed postmaster.The change has given great satisfaction.Long may the Corners bear the name Herdman, and so perpetuate the memory of the family who first settled there.We

markets to command better, for are they not only paying more taxes, but higher prices for goods made in Canada than there is any necessity for.Sir Leonard states that the income has increased two million dollars a year.Well, what does that mean, but that our farmers are paying two millions more taxes a year ?Is that a circumstance upon which any sane man can honestly congratulate company.The obsequiousness of the Senate in ratifying the contract without amendment, the hurrying down of his Excellency to give it his assent, and the issuing of the letters-patent, all within 30 hours, leaves a decidedly Lad impression upon the public mind, and the question is asked, Why this unseemly haste 7 A year ago this District asked for a charter to .the taxation is not equally divided 3 the four
