for, thru a hole in the trough, the water had flowed around his boots, and, freezing solid, fastened him securely in his tracks.To keep him from freezing to death, the farmer had continued to pump violently all the morning, altho the well was soon exhausted.His wife set him free by heaping salt around his boots.That story has the same effect as the trough\u2014it won't hold water.Last Wednesday evening a burglarmade a determined effort to enter the house of William Parker, No.5s South I street.Mr Parker, who works at the Savage, had been paid off that day.In the evening he went to his work as usual, and his wife went out to call upon a neighbor, leavin at the house her son Willie, aged 14, an her little girl, 7 or 8 years of age.Soon after the mother left a burglar came to the rear door, and, inserting a pair of nippers, he boy held the key on the inside.Presently he found that the burglar was twisting the key in his hand, and getting a penholder that happened to be within reach, he put it thru the ring of the key.The penholder was soon broken, when the boy put the strongest part of it thru the key, and whispered to his little sister to bold it with her might while he got a pistol.The pistol was a five-shooter, and when the boy got back he shot thru the lower panel of the door, and the burglar stampeded.It is thought that the shot took effect in one of the legs of the burglar.The range of the bullet was downwards, and in front of the door is a porch in which it should have lodged if it did not find lodgings in the fellow's leg.The boy first pro getting under a table with his pistol and shooting the burglar as soon as his sister let him come into the house, but the sister objected to this arrangement.The fellow knew the children had been left in the house, and called to them, threatening them if they did not open the door.\u2014Virginia (Nev.)

year.The men had outspanned for breakfast, when a heavy thunderstorm suddeüly burst over them, so severe in its effects that they were forced to abandon their attempts to procure a meal, and remounted in the hope of riding out of the storm.Towards three in the afternoon, however, it broke upon them with increased violence, the rain falling apparently in sheets, and the flashes of lightning appearing continuous.At last a flash struck a troop, flinging seventeen horses with their riders to the ground, and killing ten men and five horses on the spot.Those whe were not killed were all seriously injured, and it was long before animation could be restored in the case of seven of the men.The bits and stirrup-irons of the whole number were blackened, and many of the men, personally uninjured, had their clothing rent by the force of the electric discharge The greatest difficulty was naturally experienced in preventing a general stampede among the whole of the frightened horses,

the wisdom, power, and com- troi of the governing officers of this Dominion, we don't allow.\u2018The question raised by the Civil Defonco Alliance, \u2018Have the Indian wards any rights?\u2019 is as yet unen- sworod, because the voice of the Government has not been heard repeating it.\u201cThe Seminary\u201d afraid of the question and afraid of examination about its own rights, has acted the rt

no doubt, has avoided collision with the Priests, and twice has sought to compromise the matter by eugaging to remove the Indians to lands of the Upper Ottawa or Lake Huron.But if tho Goverament of the Dominion has shown a lamentable timidity in dealing with this subject on its merits, has tho governing body of the Methodist chureh come to tho rescue, dotormined to strengthen the enfeebled putitical knees, and used ita extonsive influence and power for tho helpless wards Providence has assigned to its charge?Tis trae petitions from it have asked for redrees, \u2018tis true it has appointed a strong man from its body to look after and do battle for the Indian, and Dr Borland has done ail that one man can do, but if a commander-in-chief of n well-ordered army would be content to appoint one man out of it, even his bravest, to do what the united army together was barely sufficient for, could expect either success or applause.Not a few times in the t 20 yoars, as my friend Mr R.knows, educational and collegiate matters have been deemed worthy the attention and goud will of the general public.Was a one man-effort reckoned sufficient to sccure tho ears and hearts of all?Did not the call of Cun- ference go forth and deputatiens of great name sound it in towns and citios, and, it may be, men of lesser name echoed it thru village and township, and the pons of ready writers took it up and public prints and pamphlets were made to reiterate the arguments, and Canada saw snd felt thut The whole Mothodist Church had laid the subject it advocated to heart and was in earnest

question that is being hotly debated just now in the Old Country.The Conservatives are for crushing them, and talk about the prestige of the British army and the honor of its flag as demanding the indiscriminate slaughter of the African Dutchmen, whose only crime lies in having done their best in fair battle.That such repulsive views will be acted upon is not likely, and there is a fair prospect that Mr Gladstone will make peace with them according to a very different code from the un-Christian one of the Tories.The Transvaal Boers never were, until entrapped by Disraeli, British subjects, and their territory was possessed and cleared by themselves.No trouble would have ever arisen with them but for the so-called \u201cImperial policy\u201d of the late Premier, and they are only fighting for rights which have been grossly violated.Some people seek to justify England's conquering them by the fact that the Boers are slaveholders.If a moral defect in a people justifies a foreign nation to make war upon them, Russia, France, Germany, or any other Power might un- sheath the sword against Great Britain for forcing opium upon China.To promote moral purposes by committing the awful sin of shedding blood in aggressive warfare, is a fallacy that can delude no right- thinking Christian.If the Boers are LA making 820 in all received at this office.A long as there is an expectation abroad that an exception will be made in their case, and an adequate allowance set aside from the funds, the voluntary subseription will make slight progress.If the officials in charge of the fund knew the importance of letting the public know at once what they mean to do, we are sure they would not longer delay in coming to a decision.During the past week we have received 82 from Daniel M'farlane, $2 from a lady, and $2 from a friend of the oppressed, SZ On Monday evening the ladies of the Methodist congregation gave their first tea-meeting in the new building, After an abundant repast, the Rev Mr Longley of Hemmingford delivered a lecture on Robert Burns.He gave a very full sketch regard to the proprieties of a mixed audience, and then touched upon his qualities as a poet\u2014his simplicity, his humor, and the fidelity of his delineations of nature.A vote of thanks was moved by the Rev J.B.Muir, seconded by the Rev J.Watson, and tendered by the Chairman, the Rev Jas.Henderson, in a complimentary speech.There was a large attendance and $50 were realized towards the reduction of the debt.KZ On opening the usual session of the St Anicet commissioners court

eircum- spectly unfold our sorrowful tale of complaint, and ask their sympathy for the trying position in which we are placed.That thero is such an entity as Love in the world, we will not take it upon ourselves of the poet's life, a difficult matter to do to depone, for, outside of novels, we have no with consistency to truth and with a due Cognition of it, and as everybody knows that novels are avowedly romances, their evi- denco as to matters-of-fact cannot be recognized.To get over the difficulty of proving the existence of Love, that it is not a mere chimera or imagination of a heated brain, one of those whose interost it was to convince a doubting public to exchange their coin for his fantastically writton book, declared \u201cWho'd know love must lovers be.\u201d Such an allegation is plainly 8 mere equivocation, for it might as well be said, \u201cWho'd know a calf, a calf must be.\u201d Setting aside such a play on words among those phrases intended to bamboozle the judgment of mankind, and therefore not to be seriously entertained, we are frin to confess that we | have, in the total absence of substantial evidence, to place this will-o\"the-wisp Love in the category of popular superstitions, with fairies and ghosts ; a sort of Santa Claus of rown-up children, a figment of the wealk- minded of either sex, and a convenient peg whereon pocts and novelists may hang their clavers.Were it not beyond our province, we could prove, out of the inouths of the poets themselves, that this fantasy of theirs is of tho mist that melts before the sun of truth.Thus Burns declared \u2014 Day and night my fancy's flight Is ever wi\u2019 my Jean.Whereas a Huntingdon audience had it on Monday evening from the lips of a well- informed clergyman, that his fancy\u2019s flight was flighty indeed.Or, again, how reconcile his allegation\u2014 An\u2019 on thy lips I seal my vow An\u2019 break it shall I never, slaveholderg, let us send missionaries to |the position

the Grand Trunk's opposition, the House of Commons has passed the bill granting a charter to the Toronto and Ottawa railway company.This could not have been done had it not been that the passage of the bill was eagerly desired by the Quebec Government, in the interests of the Occidental, with which it will connect, so that a majority of members from this Province voted with those from Ontario.It is probable the Senate will also pass it, and if so, within à couple of years the Grand Trunk monopoly on the north side of the St Lawrence will be at an end.As regards our own road, there is nothing

been, we think, twelve times Warden, and the vote of thanks passed to him was no mere empty compliment.&7 The criminal court met at Beau- harnois on the Ist, and business is dragging out in the usual tedious manner.No sentences, at last account, had been pronounced.The indictments against the children aud others of the upper part of Hinchinbrook for rioting were dropped, and the case about the Dundee marsh hay did not come to a head.& The Ormstown Debating Society is still drawing good audiences, and the youth of the community continue to take an active part in the discussions.Not the east interesting feature of the meetings is the readings, recitations, &c,, which form an important item in the opening part of Love, When we're far from the lips wo love, We have but to make love to the

Wherefore, it may well be asked, this disquisition ?Patience we further bespeak, and before we closo its relevancy will become apparent to the most heedless.Our contention is, that this non-existent

Love, as ho ties to the tail of his paper kite a string of knots of like flimsy paper, delusion No 2, that Love only sanctions one marriage, and that all marriages contracted subsequent are to be tabooed by him with born, pan, and bell, Here is where the troublo comes in, and it shows tho far- reaching consequences of entertaining what some consider even an innocent error, for if the delusion Love were relegated among the world\u2019s old lumber of exploded myths, a man might have in peace as long a succession of wives as the venerable Parr.As wo ever wish to be methodical, we regret that space prevents our enumerating and dwelling with due regard to their importance upon the de- plorablo results that flow from the notions and actions wo deprecate.Why a man, robbed by evonts over which he bas no control, should not take another helpmate, or the widow bo allowed to lean upon another sturdy arm, without exposing themselves to annoyance, amounting, often, to downright persecation and extortion, we do not understand, for surely if marriage is good at all it is geod for every stage of life\u2014to be a lifelong habit and not, as Death would often render it, an episode in a man or woman's existence.If nobody romarried, it would be the strongest condemnation possible of marriage, for then the current belief would be t that it is a purgatorial condition from which Lsose est free rejoice and would not re-enter.The very fact that men and women remarry is the highest compliment (where no other consideration intervenes) they can pay their deceased partners, for they theroby show they were happy with them and seck to restore that happiness by a second union.The results extend to third parties, however, for it discourages matrimony, and who knows how much the tin-pan and tho

Hill, Monday, 6:30 a.m, tarned to camp at eight on.Sunday after cacaping almost 5 fate which befell many others who left the camp.The strength of the column last night amounted to 600 men all told, belonging to the Fifty- Eighth, Sixtieth, and Ninety.Second Regiments, and the Naval Brigade, Tho night was dark and the march across an unknown country toileomo in the ox.trome.We first made our way over comparatively level ground to the foot of the main range of hills, but there our difficulties began.In many cases the ascent was absolutely precipitous, and wherever there was footing for the troops huge boulders and loose stones rolled down when toached.The troops earried their arms, eighty rounds of ammunition, water bottles, and three days\u2019 provisions, making their progress paiaful in the extreme.Daylight wus breaking when we approached the hill which was the object of the expedition, Starting at ten o'elock, we were six hours in accomplisbing what, as the crow flies, is little over four miles, to the summit of the eminence, from which we looked down upon a long line of Boer on.trenchments, stretching from a point immediately below us to the Buffalo River.So far our success was complete.Our ocoups- tion of the hill rendered the Boer position absolutely untenable, as we took their whole entrenchments in reverse.For our own camp, altho\u2019 miles away, it looked quite cloge, for wo were at an elevation of 2,500 feet above it.The enemy's principal laager was 2,000 yards away.The position we socured was undoubtedly one of immense natural strength.On the summit was a plateau, so that all the troops not actually engaged in repelling assaults could lie down perfectly secure from the fire below.For an hour the greater part of the troops rested, a portion, however, helping the sailors, who had not so far been able to get the Gatling gun up the hill.At sunriso the Boers were seen moving in their lines, but it was not until nearly an hour later that a party of mounted videttes were seen trutting out toward the hill, upon which they evidently intended to take their stand.As they approached, our outlying pickets fired upon them, and our presence was for the first time discovored.The sound of our guns was heard at the Dutch laager, and the whole scene was changed as if by magic.In place of a few scattered figures, there appeared on the scene swarms of men rushing hither and thither.Some rushed to the horses and others to the waggons, and the work of yoking the oxen and preparing for instant retreat began at once.When the first panic had abated, it could be seen that some person in authority had taken command.A great number of Boers began to move forward with the evident intention of attacking us, but the work of preparing for retreat in case of nocessity still went on, and continued until all the waggons were un- \u2014[re AY nigh y a miracle from the \"spanned and ready to move away, some, indeed, dt once began to withdraw.- About seven o'clock the Boers opened fire, and bullets whistled thickly over the plateau.The men were all perfectly cool and confident.I do not think tho possibility of the position being carried by storm occurred to any one.From seven to eleven o'clock the Boers, who wero lying all around the bill, maintained a constant fire, Their shooting was wonderfully accurate.The stones behind which our men in the front line were lying were bit by almost every shot.Op posed to such shooting as this there was no need to impress upon the men to keep well under cover.They only showed themselves to tako an occasional shot, and accurate as was the enemy's shooting up to eleven o'clock we had but five casualties.Com: mander Romilly was dangerousiy wounded as he was standing close to Gen Colley.Twenty mon of the 92nd Regiment under Lieutenant Hamilton held the point which was most threatened by tho Boers.Nothing could exceed the steadiness of these Highlanders.They kept well under cover, and altho\u2019 they fired but seldom they killed eight or ten of the Boers who showed themselves from behind cover.So far our position appeared perfectly safe.Tho Boers had indeed got between us and the camp, but we had three days\u2019 provisions, and could hold out until reinforcements came up.Our casualties were, with the exception of that of Commander Romilly, fow and unimportant, and all were perfectly confident of the result.From eleven to twelve the enemy's fire continued hot, but harmless as before.Botween twelve and pne it slack- enod, and it seomed ss if the Boers were drawing off.This, however was not the case.\u2018The ènemy bad been, as was afterwards learned, very strongly reinforciog their fighting line in preparation for.an assault.Shortly after one a terrific fire suddenly broke forth from the right lower salopes of tho hillside, on which the firing had all along been heaviest.A tremendous rush was simultaneously made by the enemy.Our advancod line was at once noarly all shot driven back upon our main position.This position may described as an oblong basin on the top of the hill.It was about yards long by 50 boad.Our whole force now lined the rim of the basin, and fix bayonets to repel the assault.The tn with shouts of triumph, swarmed op = sides of the hill, and made several despor ¢ attempts to carry the position with & po + Each time, however, they were driven be with the bayonet.After each charge | firing, which nearly censed during the melee, tés R85S8SE¥ ah a Psy Pele at 3 tetes CS PES ES wal WEE TF WER TAT -\u2014 od made a tremendous port aus point beyond that at which they had before been attacking, and where the pumber of defenders was comparatively small.They burst thru the defenders and in over the edge of the basin, and our position was lost.The main line of ear defenders, their flank turned and taken in reverse, made à rush slong the plateau and endeavored to re-form and rally, but it was uoloss.With fierce shouts and a storm of ballets the Boers poured in.There was a wild rush, with the Boers close bebind.The roar of firing, the whistling of bullets, and the yells of the enemy made up a din which seemed infernal, Il around men were falliog.There was no resistance, no halt.It was flight for life.At this moment I was knocked down by the rush and trampled upon, and when I came to.my sensed the rs were firing over me at the retreating troops moving down the hill.Trying to rise, 1 was taken prisoner and led away.On the hill I fonnd tho body of General Colley, shot thru the head.After a conversation with the Boer General 1 induced him to grant me a paes to come into our camp and bring our succour for the wounded.They were lying thickly both on the plateau and everywhere on the descent of the hill.The Boers were very civil.They took, it is true, the few articles 1 bad about me; but no troops in the world could, on the whole, have bohaved better as victors.Talking with me they ascribed their victories not to their arms or bravery, but to the righteousness of their cause.As to the completeness of their victory there san be no question.They carried by sheer fighting & position wbich our General himself considered, defended by the force at his command, a8 impregnable.Even now I can hardly understand how it was done, s0 sudden was the rush, so instantaneous the change from what we considered as perfect safety to imminent peril.Up to the moment when the Boers made this rush they had effected Do progress whatever.A few only of our men had been engaged, and the Boors\u2019 casualties were trifling in tho extreme.A few minutes later they had the crest of the hill, and our men were defending the natural basin in which they had been lying in ap- paront security.It cannot be denied that the capture of the Majela Hill is an exploit of which any troops in tho world might be roud.P I have just returned from the Boer camp, where I had a conversation with Joubert.He complained of Colley having undertaken the movement bringing on the battle.Peace.negotiations were pending, and he did not therefore look for a hostile movement.I pointed out to him that firing had been going on daily, that our pickets wero continually shot at, and some killed.1 could not see, therefore, any complaint could be validly made to the movement of our troops.Joubert then went on to say that the Transvaal was prepared to treat for peace, but this could only be made on the basis of liberty.He asked me to tell the people of England that he was sure they and their Ministers meant to do what was right and just, but the English officials and the army commanders worked for their own ends and wilfully misreprosented the facts.Henco the Transvaal was driven to desperation by tho feeling that it was hopeless to look for justice.England was fighting now for honor and for domination, the Boers for liberty, for which thoy were prepared to die.The God of battles was with them.Their loss in the capture of the strong position of Majela and the rout of the British troops was, he said, only one killed and five wounded.Joubert also said that the people of the Transvaal were quite prepared to accept ascheme of African confederation, provided they were loft entirely to themselves.Upon this matter he said he had also been misrepresented.I told the Boer leader that I would transmit his message to England, The statements of the Boer loss appear, I must own, scarcely credible.With Joubert there was an Irish renegade, who appeared to be his chief adviser.This pérson was very offensive and abusive, while all the Dutch were very civil, I found that in the Datch eamp were fifty unwoanded English prisoners and seven officers.\u2019 : The total number of British troops engaged was 350, and only 62 returned unhurt.Another correspondent says i-During the enemy's advance our men hardly caught sight of a single Boer.The Boers crept thru the grass, taking advantage of every stone and every inequality of ground.When driven back by our fire at one point they would work around unperceived and thence open with heavy volloys upon us, them- solves being all the time invisible.\u201d The correspondent thinks the English would have done well to havo trusted to the bayonet instead of fleeing down the hill, where they were quickly shot down like rabbits.Still another correspondent remarks : «It is uselens to attempt to fight the Boers with numerically inferior forces.They are man for man more than equal to our own.They are as couragoous, infinitely better shots, and marvellously skilled in taking advantage of every cover.Their coolness under fire is perfoct, and while fighting individually all work in concert and in obedience to orders.They openly express contempt for our infantry, but fear our cavalry and artillery.\u201d The Times correspondent states that shortly after noon the Boers\u2019 fire, which heretofore averaged about 00 sbots per minute, increased to a terrific volley.Our men wavered, were rallied, wavered again and Tan.The Boers climbed the hill and followed them with a terrible fire as they went dowa the other side.: ount Prospect, March 2.=General Colley was buried quietly with impressive milita honors, He was borne to the grave by all the commanding officers.The Irishman who is with the Boers is named Alward, and was an active Fenian up to the outbreak in 1870, when he betrayed some of the secrets of the organization and was shot at as an informer, when he left for frise.He ie secretary to Joubert, being à well-educated man.President Huyt, of the Dutch Transvaal committee, has Tsued à nirong appeal to the ple of England.He asks every honest nglishman to support tbe committee in their efforts to restrain the

desperation they seek their ghta by the only resources left open to them 7\" He says: \u201cDo not cesse your pro- Newoastle, March 6.\u2014Gen.Wood went to Mount E t today and had an futer- view with Joubert, which resalted in an armistice being arranged to Jast until the 14th instant.Rumors of peace are rife, but peace will be impossible unless the English agree to the Boers\u2019 terms of complete independence of the Transvaal, and amnesty to all leaders.By the armistics permission is granted to send provisions for eight days to tho beleaguered garrison.\u2014\u2014 PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.On Wednesday Mr Langevin moved the House into committee on his resolutions authorizing a Sompany {o establish telegraphic communication between the Pacific coast of the Dominion and Asia.Mr Fleming, he said, had been in communication with capitalists in Europe, and found that he could form a company to undertake tho werk, It was not the intention to build competing lines with the presept Canadian lines, but to use those now existing to the Pacific coast.The line would extend from Quatsino, one of the extrome points of Vancouver Island, touching at the Aleutian Islands, and reaching Yokohama, where it would make connce- tion with the Asiatic telegraphic system.No subsidy was asked from the Government, and the privileges to be given were few.The most important was thac the company should have the exclusive privilege of landing cables on the Pacific coast during twenty years.It wns only with such a provision that a company would undertake so gigantic a work.The Japanese Government bad given the company the right to land its cables in Japan.A change was proposed in the resolutions ; it was that the latest date at which application for incorporation could be mado should be the 1st of next January instend of October 1st.This extension of time was asked for in view of the magnitude of the work of making arrangements in England and in Japan.On Friday Sir Jobn Macdonald introduced a bill to amend the Dominion Lands Act, and explained that it made the following provisions :\u2014To diminish the width of common roads in the country wost of the present surveys from 100 to 66 feet, which was quite sufficient, and was the width allowed in Ontario and elsewhere, One hundred feet width was suggested by the original settlers, who were accustomed to wide trails, bat the differonce was now believed to be a wanton waste of land, which, however, entailed more cost than was necessary on the municipalities.To facilitate the sub-division and disposal of land, altering the mode of surveying in consequence of the diminution of tho width of the roads.To enable the Governor-in-Council to make sales in special cases on certain terms and conditions, At present a party could only take up 160 acres pre-emption and purchase 160 acres, and thore was no provision by which tracts could be bought, and tenantry or emigrants sent out to settle on these lands, This provision would enable the Governor-in-Council to provide for such cases.To facilitate immigration by allowing lands to be entered in advance.Now when a settler left Europe ho had no security that he would have his lot when he arrived at his destination.The rule was, \u201cFirst como first served.\u201d It was well known that in Germany an agent was generally sent out to the United States in advance to select a tract, and bringing out their clergyman, doctor, blacksmith, &c., omigrants came out in a community.This provision would enable the Government within reasonable limits to allow parties who intended coming out as an organized community to have the power of doing so, and to have land for a reasonable time re served for them, in order that they might not be a disappointed or broken-up community after they arrived.To enablo agents to enter the names of immigrants for locations before they arrived in the country, and to empower parties who undertook to assist tenantry or other persons, or companies formed for the purpose of aiding emigration within the fixed limits prescribed in the Act, to agree with a settler that the money advanced to bring him out and help him oo his land and to put up his house, &c., should be charged upon the homestead, the settler signing an agreement to this effect.These were tho principal provisions of the bill.NEWS BY

MacMahon in Paris, The latter spoke affectionately of his ancestors, but declined to commit himself concerning the agrarian agitation in Ireland.The Land League has suffored a severe defeat in tho County Dublin.One of the leaders in the movement, Mr A.J.Kettlo, having neglected to pay his rent, his landlord, Lord Talbot de Malahide, caused the Sheriff to seize and sell some of Mr Kettle's stock on Saturday afternoon.Mr Kettle bad plenty of stock, and the sum due was only £34, but, rolying on tho strength of the League, Mr Kettlo set the landlord at defiance, and proclaimed that he was resisting an unjust rent as à matter of principle.Tho impending sale had boen referred to at the meetings of the Leaguo, and there was a very large nttendance of Mr Kettle\u2019s sym- athisers and nearly two hundred policer Goddard attended on behalf of the Orange Emergency Committee for the purpose of purchasing if no one else would.There was no attempt to interfere with the salo when it was discovered there were bona-fide bidders; and beyond groans for Mr Goddard and the landlord there was no demonstration.Two horses brought over £50, which being sufficient to meet the rent and the sheriffs foes, the sale ended.In tho Houso of Commons on Thursday during the debate on the Arms bill Mr Dillon defended John Devoy.He also defended his own advice to the Irish to arm, but said that in the ovent of their disarmament they were resolved to establish equality and disarm the landlords too.He said if he were an Irish farmer he would keep a rifle to shoot tho landlords.(Shouts of

in a previous debate.Mr Baxter (Liberal) gave notice that he would ask Mr Gladstone whether as dospite the new rules the usual nocessary business of the House was virtually stopped, the Government intended to propose measures which would offectually end the obstruction.Mr Hoaly was repeatedly ealled to order for charging Sir William Ilarcourt with uttering an untruth.Ho was eventually \u201cnamed\u201d by the Speaker, and his suspension voted by 233 to 15.Daring this scono Mr Parnell entered the Houso.Sir William Harcourt said Mr Dillon uttered sentiments that would bring horror and diegust into the mind of every honest man.(Cheers.) The civilized world would be able to-morrow to pronounce on this vile conspiracy.Ho was justified in eaying that the Land League depended for suppori-on a Fenian conspiracy, the Irish subseriptions being copper, while the gold ard silver camo from America.Mr Dillon had expressed the true spirit of the Loague.Mr Dillon said he never expressed approval of assassination.Messrs Gray and McCoan (Homa

and relieve the persecuted loyalists.\u201d he Orange authorities here are disposed to comply with the requost and circulars have been issued by Mr Merrick to lodges thruout Canada asking for contributions.The Toronto monthly, edited by Professor Goldwin Smith, which has been a strenuous oppooent of the Liberal policy, makes these remarakable admissions regarding Sir John Macdonald : But we hope he is not lapsing into the belief that taxation makes the coun- tryrich.Certain persons, of course, may be made rich by taxing the community in their interest.Another fallacy, against which the speech of the Finance Minister suggests the need of a warning, is the assumption that the present burst of prosperity is sure Lo last forever.Its causes are the revival of the lumber trade, and two good harvests, with a great demand for grain in Europe.We havo yet to see oven whether it is not in part fictitious and the mere result of a faith in the magical potency of the N.P., which leads

obligation for a year to make him a present of a house and lot.McCarthy yielded to this persuasion and joined the association, and has never since violated the obligation.Mr Falkoner asked him to take

to-night, and was attended by nearly 4,000 persons, two-thirds of whom were spectators, and the remainder actors in the carnival.The rink was beautifully decorated, and in the centre was erected a magnificont grotto of ice, from the dome of which the electrio light was displayed, with a fountain playing in the interior.The scene when the masquerade was at its height surpassed anything of the kind evor at tempted here before.The Governor-General arrived by special train at nine o'clock, drove directly to the rink, where he was received by the committee, and remained for over an hour as an interested spectator.Shortly after ten his Excellency returned to the depot and took tho train for Quebec.The Emerson News believes that before many years hops will be one of the chief exports of Manitoba.Hops grow wild there, undisturbed by insects.Along the wooded lands on the shores of the Pembina there are thousands of acres covered with hop vines, and sometimes for miles the small trees

being victimized lately.Ho gave a travelling agent an order for a single article, but aftor a few days another agent belonging to the same firm came along and demanded his note for an amount forty times greater than the original order.He refused, of course, and becoming annoyed at the threats of the agent, took up a spade and gave him a tremendous blow on the side of the head.Tha, agent fled, leaving order and note be- bind him.The farmer then discovered that the original order had been changed, and the word \u201cforty\u201d substituted for \u201cone.\u201d Others were similarly victimised.NT UNITED STATES, Lacing Wyman, of Constable, started to go to his barn at about half-past one last San- day morning, to care for one of his horses which was lame.At once on opening the

but it has disap- I looked, but could make out nothing, and believing her to have been mistaken, I dismissed the subject from my mind.Meanwhile, the sea lay calm as a pond over the move of the gradually subsiding swell, and the sun shone very hot, but the air was extraordinarily sweet and balmy, and the water like a looking-glass ;.the quarter-boat that hung over the ship's side was reflected with all its color and the sheen of the sun in it, like à boat bottom up.The counterfeit was startling: every line clear as in & picture, with not a tremor to blur it ; and if you looked over, there was your face watching you some fathoms deep in the water, that was as transparent as thin-blown bottle-green lass.5 On the forecastle the watch below vere busy in hanging up their clothes ry, and all that part of the ship was soon adorned with a pleasing variety of trousers, coats, and shirts, slung in rows and dangling in such a manner as to give only a lively idea of the different sizes of the men.The morning stole on, and at about 11 o'clock the white water in the south became dark, and I saw that a little breezes was coming down upon us from that usrter.Ina few mimutes we had got the trimmed, and the water began to tinkle past us.We been holding on in this way for about twenty minutes, when & man who pro out of the foretop, and ras standing midway on the rigging, lookin away on the starboard bow, with his han shading his eyes, sung out, \u2018There's a wreck away yonder, sir.On this Nelly left her chair, and coming to where I stood, looked for a little while, and, pointing with her finger, exclaimed, ere it is, Will.That's the sage thing I saw before.It is like a pole sticking up.The ane of the Waldershare was so slow under the light air, which even now was wing fainter, that three-quarters of an hour lapsed before the object we bad sighted could be clearly made out b the It then proved to be the wree of a brig, with nothing of her hull visible above water but her bulwarks, with a raised cabin aft, painted white, and a small galley forward.\u2018I cannot help thinking, Mr Lee,\u2019 said Nelly (she called mo by that name when others were present, tho she sometimes made a grimace when she pronounced it), \u2018that there may be people on board that vessel ; and, do you w, I have been i in to send a boat to her, just to satisfy my curiosity, and he has promised to do so if this calm lasts.\u2019 \u2018But what makes you think there are le aboard of her F I asked.\u2018It's a mere fancy, I own ; but sup there should be people in the little white house on deck\u2014dying, perhaps, or too weak to craw] out and make to us how it would be to sail away and leave them f \u2018What do you think, Mr Lee, is she worth boarding 7 asked the Captain.\u2018Why, I might jamp into one of the prie 8 couple of hands, just to isfy the ladies,\u2019 answered, smiling at \u201cVery well; md he ; and, hailing the boniewisin, Ba sung out to send some hands sf to man and lower the atarboard quarter-boat.The brig smosthed and sheltered the water for some considerable distance under ber lee, and the hetrer we drew to her the easier ib became to impel the boat.The water under her, being unrufiled, was rcmrgrent as the rest of the sen had ih in the aalm, aad in the cool, green, translucent.the wholo of her sub- d hull, from her forefoot down to was perfectly would not give overhead partitioned off on the starboard side i three little berths or cabins, each having a low door which obli me to stoop to enter it, and each fitted with a bunk, tho\u2019 in the aftermost cabin there was slung a hammock.The other of the house, that on the port or left-hand side, was a living room, having a long mahogany table that slided up and down on stanchions, with several stout wooden chairs around it.However, without paying much attention to these details, Pontered the cabins one after the other, looked into the bunks, felt the hammock, and satisfied myself that there was nobody living or dead in that part of the brig.I then went forward, noticing as I hastened that the wind had freshened into a good breeze, and that the little runners were tumbling against the weather bulwarks of the vessel witha brisk play of foam; but had it blown twice as hard I should have felt no uneasiness, for the water was still smooth enough, the Waldershare to leeward, and the wind would run the boat down to her almost without requiring us to use the oars.The house just abaft the foremast was, as I had supposed, no more than the caboose, or galley, and nobedy was in it.The deck-load covered the fore-hatch, but just beyond the deck was clear as far as the bows of the vessel, and in the middle was the fore-scuttle.There was evidently, then, a forecastle below for the men, and I kneeled down and looked into it ; but it was pitch dark, tho\u2019 I could just catch a glimpse of the sheen of water as the wreck rolled.The bows of the vessel being higher out of water than the rest of her, and as, in consequence, the water in the forecastle was some two or three feet below the coamings of the hatch, I thought there might be a bare chance of some one being alive in a hammock slung against the deck, or in one of the upper tier of bunks.1 accordingly called out, \u2018Is there anybody below there ?\u2019 bat no answer was returned, and I hailed three times, listening with eager attention for any murmur or grean that might follow ; but all was as still as death, save now and again the gurgle of the water as the hull swayed.I rose and came away to get into the boat.I went to the belaying-pin to which I had made the painter fast, with the intention of hauling the boat alongside, when, to my inexpressible consternation, I found that the line had slipped over the pin and had gone away overboard.I sprung on to the bulwark, and, looking over, discovered that the boat was adrift, and was above fifty feet to leeward, and that one of the men was dozing in the stern-sheets, while the other sat on the amidship thwart, absorbed in the contents of a little volume that he held close to his nose.I immediately halooed at the top of m voice, on which they both started up wit gestures of alarm, and after looking about them hurriedly seized their oars.The boat's head was pointed toward the ship, and the breeze had caught her, and was driving her td leeward at a rate that every moment alarmingly increased her distance from the brig.The man pulling the bow oar strained every nerve to get her head round against the sea (that was now all of a wobble) and the wind, while the other backed water; but just when they had got her beam broad to the wind, the fellow in the bow suddenly went head over heels into the bottom of the boat, and as in falling he jerked his arms up, I observed that only the stump of the oar remained in his hands\u2014in other words, he had snapped the oar in halves.The boat's head instantly fell off.At this moment I recollected that we had shoved off with only two oars in the boat, owing to the other oars having been sent forward to be scraped, and as the men had but one oar, I knew that if my salvation was to depend upon the boat reaching the brig again I was a doomed man.However, my momentary consternation had passed, and, recollecting myself, I shouted to the men to get aboard the ship as fast as they could, and return to the brig with more oars and more men, They heard me plain enough, and yet what must the foola do but throw the sound oar over the stern and, getting the boat's head toward the brig, begin to seull.I shouted to them again, stamping my foot with anger and impatience, but they ne of them called d away from us, back, \u2018Hold on, sir! we think we shall be el, with able to ead [Hav tnd with her gun-|andevery moment the breeze was strength- remain a stranger to hope.I struggl ,| ening ;

so far as I might judge, she had half a mile to go to fetch the ship.Aboard the Waldershare the wind was making itself felt, and with her top-sail to the mast she heeled over in such a way as to expose half the metal on her bottom.On a sudden and in a hurry they began to shorten sail.I could not now discern the boat, tho\u2019 she was no longer the object of my anxiety; my whole attention was centred in the ship.What would she do?There was such a topple of sea rising as would make it impossible for any boat to row to windward, and the only way for them to rescue me from my perilous position was to brace up sharp, make a short board to windward, heave to abreast of the wreck and drop a boat down, then run to leeward and receive the boat.All this time I remained calm and collected, and do not remember that I was sensible of any great uneasiness.Indeed, what had happened had all come about too suddenly to give my mind time, so to speak, to reason upon my situation ; and, besides, I had the utmost confidence in Capt Thomas's seamanship, and had no doubt that he would devise means to take me off the wreck.What troubled me most was the alarm that Nelly would feel, and her self-reproaches for having been the cause of my making this unhappy adventure.The Waldershare swung her main-yards, and, just as I expected, braced them sharp up, and headed on a line that made an angle with the brig.By this I judged she had picked up her boat, and it made me feel more satisfied to think that they knew by this time how it happened that I was left on the wreck.I gazed at her so intently that I never thought of looking to windward, but seeing her haul up the main-sail and let go the mizzen-top-sail halyards, I turned my head and saw the sky all black, and the sea all white with a furious squall.Before I could have sung out it was aboard.It came first in a sheet of rain that blew along in a smoke; the water boiled and frothed under the mere weight and fury of this deluge ; the wind howled with the voice of a tornado, and there was one, but only one, sharp glare of lightning, followed by loud crack of thunder.I watched the smoke of the rain, myself soaked to the skin, discoloring the blue of the sky, until it reached the Waldershare, when she vanished, and all around there was darkness like evening.I now recalled how my mind had misgiven me on looking at the barometer before I quitted the Waldershare.Had it fallen since 2 What was it indicating now ?I believe I would have given two years of my life to have known.Indeed, the gloom, the bowling of the wind, and the rising seas, whic! were beginning to pour over the bulwarks of the submerged hull like breakers on a shore, were doing their work in my mind, and from that hour I date the frightful time of suspense I was now te endure.In order to eseape the water that poured over and along the decks every time the hull rolled, I mounted to the top of the deck-house, where, indeed, my footing was safe, tho\u2019 I was exposed to the full fury of the wind and the rain.What with the darkness, and the haze of rain and spray lashed up out of the sea, and swept upward and forward by the wind, could not see farther than the length of the brig around me.There likewise seemed eve prospect of another gale blowing; at all events, we were in the right seas for sudden and violent gales; and when I reflected that should anything approachin the gale we had recently experienced arise, the Waldershare would certainly be blown out of sight, and that between me and the bottom of the sea was only the almost sunken hull of a vessel which another tempest might tear to pieces, my heart sunk, the whole horror and peril of my situation rushed upon me.I thought of Nelly, and was unmanned, and hid my face in my hands, while the rain poured thru my fingers, and the heavy, dreadful rolling of the water-logged wreck kept the floods upon the deck boiling and seething against the bulwarks, However, I was a sailor and used to danger, and, being yo I could not lon with my despair; and presently mastered 1 I pulled out my\u2019 watch and found it wpon four odlock, and, what ma seem strate in & man élfeumstanced as was, I wound up my watch, reasoning that I might forget to do so later on, and then it would stop, and I should be without time.Tho\u2019 I reasoned, I say, yet I believe the action in the first place was mechanical too; which I think is worth noting, as showing that one has instinots whi forebode events and provide for them without any operation of the brain, or at all events without any semsible conmeur- rence of the thinking part of the'mind, Be this as it may, I gave a violent start when Ï found it to be four o'clock, for that would leave me only a very fow hours longer of sunlight, and now God knows 1 was beginning to dread the approach of ht, as tho\u2019 was to find my grave in it.squall lasted for at half an dark, hour, torrents.wind drove it all aslant; but even had there been no rain, the air would have been as thick as mud with the hase of the spray from the sea, that was now breaki eavily against the side of the brig, blowing over in clouds like dust.It then grew lighter, and the horison widened, I maw a rift of blue sky to windward ; at the same moment a whole gale of wind came thundering down that swept the sea of the rain and the gloom, and cleared it like magic down to weather bulwark.The advance-guard of the water-line, where I saw the Walder- cloud had risen with surprising rapidity, share, about two points before the beam of ; the brig\u2014in other words, right away down to leeward\u2014as dead that way as she could , well be, between four and tant, having evidently put her helm up to receive the first shock of the squall ; and ve miles dis- there she lay, with her head at south-west, The boat danced upon the surges in a!under a close-reefed main top-sail rising manner that made her more often hidden | and falling, and, whether ratching or not, making, as I guessed, such leeway as must drive her out of sight before sunset unless she made more sail.My anxiety at the sight of her rose toa ion that was like, at one moment, to drive me frantic, I looked to windward.The gale that had blown on the previous week had come with a bright clear sky, but this wind was storming under a sky like marble, all white and gray and veined with blue, and looking a desperately hard and stony sky.Icould not in the least imagine what the weather would be by staring at it; but this I knew, that unless the Waldershare could manage to ratch to windward she stood the chance of losin sight of the brig in the long night, and then God knows what the end of it all would be.Now and again the sun shone thru the rifts, and threw a dazzling beam upon the sea ; but these glimpses of splendor only appeared to give a new edge and spite to the wind, that had settled into a heavy, steady blow, and every sea that ran poured in a deluge of sparkling green water right over the hall.As yet the top of the deck-house on which I stood remained untouched, tho\u2019, to guard myself against the fall of a higher sea than the rest, I took a turn round my waist with a rope\u2019s end and secured myself to the iron railing.Moreover, the main-top sail still offered me a refuge should the seas grow greater; tho\u2019 whether the toppling Pacific surges which were grinding the sunken and helpless hull among them would not presently rend her in pieces, and scatter her bones all abroad, was more than I dared venture to speculate upon.All this while my eyes remained glued on the Waldershare.I dreaded to take my gaze off her, lest when I looked again she would be gone; and the fancy will show to what degree my mind was affected by my peril.I wondered whether she would be able to see the wreck amid the haze of spray that smoked over her thru the cotstant beating of the seas, and I kept on asking myself, \u2018What will Thomas do?He must not let the ship drop to leeward like that.Were it blowing ten times as hard, he ought to be sailor enough to know how to hold his ground near me and keep me in sight! And then I considered, what would I do if I were in his place ?and sometimes I would shout out and shake my hand at the ship, for altho\u2019 I knew what I said and did, I had no control over my passions ; and not only my being exposed to the wind and the ceaseless lashing of spray, wet thru, and with the war of the elements thundering in my ears in a manner to deafen me and make my head crazy, but the sight of the green seas pouring in mountains over the wreck, and leaping up in a play of luminous spears and pinnacles and points which the wind shattered into spume that blew whizzing into the air, was enough to derive me of all nerve aud make me act ike.a child.About twenty minutes after the horizon had cleared, I saw them loose the foretop- sail aboard the Waldershare and sheet it home.My heart leaped up at this sight, for I supposed they had made out the brig to windward, and that Thomas meant to drive the ship to the southward, let it blow as it might.Shortly afterward they boarded the fore-tack.This raised a smother of foam at her bow, and even at that distance I could perceive, when she rose to the sea, the water strike her side and flash in a quiver and veil of fog right over her.Close hauled as\u2018she was, in order to keep her full and ratching they would require to give her an easier helm, and altho\u2019 she was a heavy ship, yet I knew from experience that under her present canvas, and with the trend of the sea, she would not make less than three and a half points leeway, and every point would tell against me as diminishing her chance of coming to windward of the brig before the darkness fell.There was & whole lifetime of anguish and bitterness of spirit in my heart as I watched her.There was not \u2018a sailor aboard of her but would know that I was in a position of the most desperate peril and many of them, I have no doubt, imagined that should they ever succeed in boarding the wreck I should not be found on her, for few would believe I should long be able to keep my foeting on a hull over which the sea was foaming as tho\u2019 she had been a sunken rock.It was harder to see to windward than to leeward ; and therefore, altho\u2019 I could make out the ship plainly enough, yet I doubted whether they would be able to distinguish me, even with the glass, amid the spray that veiled the deck-house.I thought of Nelly and the misery of her mind as she strove in vain to discern with her bare sight the masts of the submerged hull on which I, who was se dear to} por, sat dreading that every moment wo ring me my.dea For the first time for man ut 1 removed my eyes from the ship to look to windward to see what chance there was of this gale abating, and I humbly think it was God's will should turn my eyes in that direction at that particular moment ; for there, about a quarter of a mile from the hull, was a monstrous sea rearing ite unbroken head like & mountain during all which time the rain foll in | hills, bearing down with frightful s upon the brig.Knowing how that weight of water would serve me, and uttering a loud involuntary or as if every instinct in my nature believed it too late, and in its passion had forced the cry from me, I throw the rope that lashed me from my waist, and with one bound igained the maiu rigging, up which 1 sprung.I was justin time, and my life was saved.The ses, standing ten feet higher than the bulwark, rolled sheer over the brig, burying her as high as half-way up her main-mast.The crash and thunder of the shock cannot be expressed ; it tore half the deck-load out of her, and I saw the white pines gleaming in the bottle-green and polished curl of the mighty comber as they went up and over into the sea beyond.The broken boat hanging at the davits was swept away as tho it had been a chip of wood.I thought the hull had gone to pieces ; she rolled on to her beam-ends, she buried both her lower yards to within a few feet of the slings, and such were the declination of her masts that I, standing on the ratlines just below the main-top, sprawled flat upon my chest against the shrouds, almost, indeed, as tho I lay upon à horizontal sur- ace.She righted with her decks full of foam, amid which the leosened pines flashed to and fro, some leaping overboard as though darted by a hand.I got inte the top, where I lashed myself firmly.Here, being to leeward of the head of the main-mast, I found myself somewhat sheltered, and sitting myself down, I remained watching the movements of the Waldershare, They had now got the main-trysail on her and the inner jib ; they had also set the mizzen-topsail.It was as much as I could do to make out this canvas, and then only when the sunshine streamed on her ; tho, being now a good height above the deck, 1 had a good sight of her, and my view was less clouded by the spray.Presently she hoisted her maint.gulast sail.All this canvas meant that Thomas was driving her ferociously, and I watched her passing like a cloud along the rugged water-line, gradually fining down in the westward until I lost sight of her hull, and only her canvas glimmered like a pale star.So far as her movements were concerned I felt no particular uneasiness ; for, miserable and bitterly desporident as I was, I could judge that Thomas was right in choosing to make a long board to the westward in order to fetch the brig on the starboard tack by another board, sooner than attempt to beat to windward, against such a sea as was now running, in short tacks.Yet one risk it was reasonable I should be quicker to see than he, and that was that, the night being close at hand, he steod to lose sight of the brig altogether by holding on to the port-tack too leng ; and therefore I sat watching the pale shadow of her sails with an intensity that made me sick and dizzy, until the horizon swayed up and down as if the whole deep were composed of a single wave, until a darkness was begotten to my sight by the steadfastness of my gaze that affrighted me into a quick and bewildered glance around, for I believed the darkness real, and that the night I so bitterly dreaded was come indeed.It still blew a strong gale, but the wind no longer came thundering down in puffs.To windward the sky looked brighter, but it was marbled with the stony clouds from horizen to herizon, and there was a hardness in the character of the light and in the clear-cat running of the water-line, and the green of the water had a wintry sharpness.I was too experienced a sailor not to read these signs aright ; they meant that the gale was not going to blow itself out in an hour, tho no worse than what was happening now might follow.I drew out my watch and found that it wanted twenty minutes to six.In abeut an hour and a half the sun would have set, and in these latitudes the twilight was of such brief duration that it was not to be reckoned.It turned me sick to reflect upon the rapidity with which the last hour and a half had flown by, but I would not despair.I knew that, while the Wal- dershare held ther, Mr Thomas would keep by me until the weather moderated sufficiently to let him send a boat, and I comforted myself as well as I could by reflecting that before he lost sight of me in the darkness he would carefully take the bearings of the wreck, and, by dead reck-\u2019 oning or by observation, determine her position, and so in the morning pick her up again easily ; for the brig\u2019s drift would be small, and he would know how much to allow for it.\u2018 _ h et the prospect o ing & night on the wreck was uns dkably d ul to me ; and I prayed God that if I was not to be released before next day, the wind and sea might down, so that I could take the shelter of the cabin, for even now I felt numbed and cramped to the bones, with the force of the wind up in the maintop blowing into my flesh thru my wet clothes.e Waldershare was stilt in sight, and remaining S0\u2014NAY, even growing & more defined form upon the horizon, whence I judged that she had gone about and was ing my way.e was indeed only a pale blur upon the distant ses, like the tip of the white wing of a ses-bird projected above the water-line, and she might have been standing east or west, instead of to where the brig lay, for all I could have told, had I not, by foreseeing her movements, clearly understood that she had stayed, and meant to fetch the wreck by a board on the starboard tack.I considered how her head would lie, how close she would be able to bear up for me ; and this made me turn to observe how the wind was blowing, when, to m unspeakable dismay, I found it had hauled, even while I had been speculating on the course of the Waldershare, at least four points te the eastward; so that if the ship held on to the starboard tack, she would arrive almost at the very point from which she, bad usrted vie if she went à > er port- aboard, she would haul out to ds south ward, and in either be loam me cae à long way to leeward of This was a dreadfel blow, and made almost mad, for now it was quite certain I was doomed to rémain on the wreck fo, tho night ; and Tpuried my head between my arma, an ike à woman grief and despair, oa tomy So in this way the time wore on, Ifalt neither hunger nor thirst.The rogr of the seas as they foamed over the dock he.low and the bowling of the winds, were always in my oars, and now that I knew that [ was to pass the night on the by; the sight of the ship\u2014a pale gliding speck far down in the north-west\u2014pave RS longer any hope: it was onl Cie an illy.sion of the sight which my heart bad detected and was cruelly fitting over: it only served to increase the desolation of the world of waters which foamed f, leagues and Jeagues around me, and or give an edge te the horror with which | contemplated the eoming of the night.The sun went down, and flushed the clouds with pink to the very zenith ; its light shone red upon the dancing seas of the horizon over the stern of the brig and the cloud-like sail in the north-west turned as red as the canvas of a smack, and quivered like a flame on the hard, dark.green tumble of the deep ; and, as the sunset paled in the west, the beäcon on which my eyes were fixed expired, and the gradual gloom came creeping up over the frothing ocean, until the horizon melted in the sky, and the outline of the sunken hull below me was visible only in the flashing of the foam, and the greenish glare of the phosphorus, as the surges poured over and over it, while the stara winked hazily in the rifts overhead and the air was filled with the desolate storming of the gale, and the weary, eternal crashing of warring waters.TO BE CONTINUED.AYRSHIRE BULL, OR SALE, a first-class pedigreed Ayrshire Bull, rising 2 years.Apply personally or by letter to \u2018Txos.Warson, .'
