ago, thought ho saw an animal lying down in the straw.Ho throw his pitchfork at the object, saying, \u201cGet out of there, you brute !\u201d when he heard the cries ofa human being.The supposed animal was a well-dressed young mau who had gone there to rest.Ho was a tramp.Ilis cries arose from bis arm having been pinned fast to the ground by the pitchfork thrown by the farmer.Ilo was taken into the house and cared for.Mr Wiser, M.P., has proceeded to Kansas, whero be is negotiating for the purchase of a cattle rancho of some 40,000 acres, and will purchase between 3,000 and 5,000 head of Texas cattle.Thore are now 267,000 head of Texas cattle coming north, and por P- chases must be made at once.About tember Mr Wiser will visit the North-Wost, where he contemplates ostablishing another extensive grazing farm in the vicinity of Wood Mountain.1lo believes that a country which will support tho buffalo will answer for cattle-raising, more ospocially as the Buffalo grass is looked upon as the principal fodder.Theso cattle will run at large, and will have to depend on the grass crop both summer and winter.Mr Wiser will still conduct his present business, Recently a rostaurant-keeper on Notre Dame street purchased half-a-dozen goose from a habitant, which ho thought weighed very heavy for their size.After examining them closely, he found that a small hole had been cut under the wing of each bird, and the fowls were then filled with water and allowed to freeze, making them each a couple of pounds heavier.But by this time the habitant had disappeared.Ho, however, found him on tho market again, yesterday morning, when he threatened him with arrest, but the habitant said he knew nothing of the swindle, and had bougbt them from another trader.The aflair was settled by the habitant paying back what he had received for the weight in ice \u2014 Yesterday Deputy High-Counstatls Contant proceeded to the house of No 466 St Dominique street and arrested a woman, named Mrs Thomson, on a charge of not providing for her children.She was found in bed, drunk, with a dying infaut on her breast, and two other young children, five and three years old respectively, were also found in the house.It appears that the husband is in tho States, and, before leaving, had placed money to tho amount of 8180 to the credit of his wifo in tie Banquo du Peup'e.Several weoks ago she drow out the money, and has since been ongaged in spending it for liquor as fust as possible, and almost utterly neglecting her children ; $45 in gold and 30 cents in silver, all that remains of the 8180, were found under the mattress of the bed.There was no fire in tho room, and pieces of raw sausages and a half a loaf of bread was all the food that could bo found in the house.They were all taken to the Central Station.\u2014Montreal Herald, 17th.An old gentleman named Kelly, 99 years of age, was buried in Springfield, Ont., on February 27th.On his death being announced to his aged wife, also upwards of pinety, she wept and quite lost her mind, and on the 4th instant she wus laid beside him in the grave.The venerablo couple had lived as man and wife for 70 years.Montreal, March 10.\u2014Madame Boiette, a fortune-teller, was fined to-day $100 or six months\u2019 imprisonment in default of payment, for imposing upon hor dupes.The witnesses for the defence exhibited an almost incredible amount of ignorance and superstition.A man named Pierre Denis testified that be bolieved as much in the reading of the cards as hedid in his religion.The Richelicu and Ontario Navigation Company completed tho purchase to-day of the steamer Cultivateur, an opposition vossel, the price being $24,000 in stock, which is worth 63¢ on the dollar.One of the worst features in connection with drunkenness is the poverty and destitution to which it reduces their wives and families, and an appeal from the victims should be sufficient to prevent even the most callous of saloon-keepers from receiving the money of the drunkard.Unfortunately this is not the case, and there are some who accept the last cent that of right belongs to the wives of their customers.The law, however, has placed it in the bands of the latter to recover damages from any hotel- keeper that persists in furnishing liquor to inebriates after being duly notified to refrain.Whether from want of means or other causes, ft is very rarely that the victim seeks redress in this manner, but last week & decision was given in the County Court, Toronto, that Bas established a precedent, and shows that might does not always constitute right.Ann Mackay was the plaintiff, and brought suit against David Clark, of Toronto, who carries on business as saloon-keeper at No 456 Front street west.She was married to A laborer named George, or \u201cGeordie,\u201d Mac- kay, in the year 1869, and for a time everything went as happy as the proverbial marriage bell.Hor husband had previously been addicted to drink, and soon fell back the pledge, bat in an evil hour gave way to tomptation, and gradually affairs grow worse than beforo.When going to or returning from work he dropped into the saloons, sponding the earnings he could not afford, and neglecting to provide the necessaries of life for his tamily.His wite vainly ondoa- vored to prevent him, and finding that so\" long as ho had the money he could purchase the liquor, she a led in person to the de- fondant Clark.Te paid but little attention, and on the 5th of August she servod him \u2018 with a written notice to tho samo offect.According to her statement sho watched her ! husband, and found the defendaut was still in tho habit of selling him drink.She thon entered an action under 27 Vic., cap.8, sec.42, which provides that \u201cThe husband, wife, parent, brother, sister, guardian, or em loyer of any person who has the habit of drinking intoxicating liquor to excess\u2014or the parent, brother, or sister of the bueband or wife of such person\u2014or the guardian of any child or children of such persen\u2014may gve notice in writing, signed him or ber, to any person licensed to sell, or who aolls or is re- uted to soll, intoxicating liquor of any ind, not to deliver intoxicating liquor to any person having such babit,\u201d and in caso he still persists in tho sale of liquor to such person, that he shall be liable for not less than $20 or more than $500 damages.She told her story, which was substantiated by some of hor neighbors, who described her homeo as being one in which pieces of paper were pasted on the broken doors and windows to keop out the wintry wind.The bedstead and greater portion of the furniture had been sold for food, and evon then she had at times to subsist on meals given to hor in charity.For the defenco Mr Clark said he had never known the plaintiff's husband to bo an habitual drunkard, and that on re- coiving tho notico ho had requested him to kecp away.On ono or two occasions, however, Mackay had asked for a meal that he could not get at home, and he then had given him a glass of boor and\u2019 a sandwich.Mackay bimwelf took the stand, and indignantly denied being a confirmed drunkard.His story, if believed, would show him to be 8 badly-used man, but judging from the verdict, it apparently fell on deaf cars.Another witness was Peter, or, ns he put it, \u201cPothor\u201d Riley, who worked \u201cback and for'ards fur «twenty-five yoars, sometimos wid bim and more times net.\" lle admitted that ho was not a member of any temperance socioty, and was a littlo hazy about the exact time when a man that drinks becomes drunk, but was sure Mackay was a sober, industrious man, who only took a drink when he needed it, and ho never knew him to rofuso ono.At tho close of the evidence the counsel on each sido addressed tho jury, and bis Honor summed - up, strongly condemning the practice of welling liquor to confirmed drunkards.After & short absonco tho jury returned a verdict for $60 damagen, and a cortificate was granted for costs in full, Campbellford, Ont, March 14.\u2014This morning about six o'clock a man named Napier Maybee was discovered lying on the sidowalk.On being examined he was found to bo breathing houvily, and death followed in a fow minutes.le had stopped at an hotel all night, and had gono out early, apparently in his usual health, and was found in this condition shortly after.1le had beon addicted to strong drink and opium-eating for several years.It is supposed death resulted from the excessive use of the above, Deceased was educated at Victoria College, and was about thirty years of age.In the course of a specch at Taylor Church, Champlain-street, last wook, the Rev Mr Doudiet accounted for the non-thriving of his French Protestant Church by saying that every yoar the members emigrated to the States in great bodies.Last year forty-two communicants went within a few weeks.His church numbers about three times as many as that.Men are being bired with difficalty at Ottawa for the timber drives at $22 to $30 per month.- During the nine years from 1872 to 1880, both inclusive, there were collocted in

paupers to the United States.He shows by official tables the proportion of blind, insane, criminal and other persons receiving public support in the United States is greater among the foreign born than the native population, and the proportion of Swiss is groater than other European nations.The average cost of assisting an emigrant to the United States is $33.68, while the cost of maintenance

killy, about six miles from Lougbrea, early in the morning.About a dozon houses, principally occupiod by laborers, wore completely wrecked.It scema that at half.past twelve a.m.about 160 men ontered the vil- Iago, all armed with guns and rovolvors.On arriving at tho village, the party smashed tho doors and windows of houses and fired shots into cach house where tho occupants slept.Some of tho laborors were in- Tho outrage is attributed to all the laborers having worked for a propriotor aftor he had discharged a number of mon who had joined the Land Loaguo.\u2014\u2014On Sunday night about ity men, armed and disguised, visitod the house of the Rov Nicholas Forster, rector of Bally- nacelligott, nour Traleo, and the houses of farmers in the neighborhood, demanding arme and monoy, and compollod the farmers to swoar to pay no moro ront than Griffith's valuation.They took away in all about forty guns and some money.Tho police woro stationed at one house, and on threatening to fire tho party ran away.Two mon numed Murshall aud Sullivan, mombors of tho Land league, were arrosted next day on information of some of tho farmera wlroue houses were visited.\u2014\u2014On Sunday a disgraceful scone occurred at the funeral of a woman named Carnny, at Aughavas, county Leitrim.A crowd assembled at the burying placo and hgoted.Stones wore also thrown at the coffin, and tho relatives of the do- cenved hud to draw their revolvers.The causo assigned for the outrage is that the son of the deceared was nn bailiff on the property of W.H.White, of Cloono.\u2014After tho visit of Parnell to Now Ross a green flag was loft flying from the top of tho old abbey.During a galo the flag was blown down, and was repiaced by another bearing the inscription, \u201cTho green above tho red.\u201d The roctor, tho police inspector, and somo other persons proceeded (0 take it down, when a mob assombled and ondeavored to provent them.But tho Ilev Mr Le Ilunte, the rector, taking off his coat, climbed to the top of the building and took down the flag himsolf.As Sir Garnet Wolseley was marching back from Secocoeni town to Pretoria with a small escort, in tho charge of the chiof and his family as prisonors, he mot in a wild part of the country three waggons loaded with gin and other spirits.Feeling that this liquor would complotely demoralize the mon, whose high rates of pay as volunteers would enable them to indulge freely in drink at whatever price, and as he could noither spare men to conduct the waggons to Pretoria nor tnke them with him, he ordered the liquor to be destroyed.On returning to Pretoria Sir Garnet consulted with the Attorney-General, who informed him that he had made himself liable for the value ef the liquor destroyed.Sir Garnet Wolseley compromised the matter for 82000 of our money and reported what he had done to the Secretary of War, who accepted the liability and entered the item among the miscellaneous charges arising out of the Secocoeni war.Thus the contents ef 1,083 bottles and 120 gallons of spirits were poured out on the ground, and probably great dis aster and disgrace, such as might have befallen a body of intoxicated

In\u2019 Creat Britain, and in fact the world over, were in arms, and rebellion wae rife.To the cold-blooded Englishman the faot of a change in mili costume, even had it been of the kind ander- sLo0d, would scom trifling affair; but to © gonuine Highlander it was outrago and sacrilege.Mestinge were held sil over Scotland to protest against officialiem touching with unholy finger even the hem of the national dress.The Duke of Satherland summoned & meeting of Scottish noblemen and Highland chisfs at bis residence, and a petition to the Queen against the change understood to be pro roceived upwards of 4,000 signatures of gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh heading the list.Not the loast imposing (7) part of the demonstration must have been that in which Lord Archibald Douglas, son of the Dake of Argyle, swore on his dagger, kissing it as he spoko, to resist tho pro change to the death, and thon amidst a storm of cheers handed round the skene dhu to be saluted in turn.Although it seems almost a pity that so much indignation should have been wasted, it is nevertheloss gratifying to learn that the purport of the proposed change was misunderstood, and that tboro was little real ground for the commotion.Mr Childers, the Secrotary of War, in the course of a very courteous reply to the petition, says :\u2014*I take this opportunity, the first which has presented itself to me, to state to you, and thru you to those who take an intorest in the subject of your petition, that the «nain designs apparent! attributed to us in connection with the uniforms of Highland regiments have no founda tion whatever in fact.It has never been my wish or intention cither to abolish dis- tinctivo tartans or to substitute new-fangled patterns for the clan tartans now in vogue, and, least of all, to diminish the number of regiments woaring the kilt.On the contrary, L know enough of Scotland, and especially of Highlanders to wish to sce the number of battalions wearing those pictur- osque and popular uniforms incr ; and whatever may have boon the case in past timos, whon froquent changes in tartans took placo, 1 am anxious to avoid perpetual alterations in the dreas of the army, which, for tho most part, only result in the Lene- fit of tailors.\u2019 Tho heavy tax which European nations have to suffer for tho purpose of koeping up standing armies is explicitly explained in an article in Le Conatitutionnel, and shows some strange results.First and foremost among the great Powers, with extravagant expenditure on its army stands Great Britain.The roturns show that the annual cost por man in the army por year is about £140 storling, while the Indian army por man comes up to £70.This high rate is in con soquonco of tho British army being a voluntary one, and to fill up ite ranks the Govern- mont has to compote with the wages of, labor to gain recruits.On the other hand, it will bo soon, by the calculations made in regard to tho Continental armies, that not.withatanding the advantage of boing able to fill their ranks by couscription, they oust tho tax-payers a prolly penny for their support and services, Austria llangary comes noxt to Great Britain in the cost of its army.\u2018Tho annual oxpenditure being about £51.Franco and Gormany spend about £43 por annum on cach soldier.Italy pays a few unds loss than Germany.say £40, while Russia is a fraction over £38, which is about a quarter of the expense incurred for tho maintenance of the British soldier.Another tablo showing the proportion of mone «pont on the army to the general expenditure of the countries tells a very different tale, and almost rovorses the position on Lhe lint of the several Furopoan Powers.It appears from tho calculation made by Le Conatitulionnol that thore is paid towards the army in England and the Colonies only 14 por cont.of tho Budget ; and this per- contago ia tho same in the case of lisly, Austria-Hungary occupies the next place with a proportion of 19 per cent., and next comos tho Lwo rivals, France and Germany, with & similar total of 21 per cent., Ruseis bringing up the rear with an expenditure of 29 per cent., or double that of England.It is ontimated that the maintenance of the army costs annually to each head of the population about Gs.6d.in Italy, 7s.4d.in ussis, 8s.6d.in Germany, 12s.4d.in France, and 12s, 6d.in Great Britain.After such a showing as this it is hardly likely that the people of this Dominion will ever, notwithstanding the Llandishments of military leginlators, consent to a standing army.\u2014Herald.How To BoiL

tho pot containing the food has begun to boil the second time, it should be removed to the side and allowed to simmer until it is done.The simmoring or stewing extracts all the natritious qualities of

fying to learn that England\u2019s shipping is not on the decline.At a recent meeting of the Chambor of Shipping in London, the Chairman reported that the English effective tonnago at the present time, is 16,000,000, while that of all other flags put logethor is only 11,000,000.The increasing activity of English shipyards may be gathered from the fact that on the 31st of December, 1819, the tonnage under construction was but 430,000 tons, as compared with?695,000 tone at the end of 1880, .German physiologists have been experimenting to ascertain the best mode of restoring frozen animal

Ministerial papers are exulting over its triumphant close, how every measure introduced by the Government was passed, and how it had a larger following on the last day than on the first.Whether the subserviency of Ministers and a majority of the members to a railway corporation will be regarded with the same complacency a few years hence, is another question.When the taxes, which the building of the Pacific road involves, come to be levied, a very different view will be taken, for nobody, whatever they may profess to do, actually believes in the foolish assertion put in the mouth of his Excellency by his advisers, that the sale of the Crown Lands in the North- West will repay the whole of the expenditure.By the extension of her limits, Manitoba becomes the second largest Province in the Dominion, Quebec being the first, having 193,000 square miles, while Manitoba will have 154,000, and Ontario has only 109,000.In cutting off the western section which Ontario claims and dding it to Manitoba, is to be seen that narrow jealousy of the supremacy of On- A trial of much local interest was that charged by one Edward Paré, a total |stranger, with having stelen $16 from him in Langlois Hotel, Beauharnois, on New Year's Eve.The only proof against Barlow was that he boarded at the hotel, was seen on the night of the robbery in the lane adjoining the hotel, that he spent money freely during New Year's tide, and that Paré\u2019s purse and purse string were found in the lane on New Year's morning.The defence proved that Barlow received a considerable sum for wages at the close of the year, that several other parties were arrested on suspicion and were discharged by a magistrate, and presumed that Barlow was made a scape-goat by the actual thieves, who, taking advantage of his infirmity, and of the fact that he had been seen in the lane slightly \u201cunder the influence,\u201d deposited the purse and string there in order to attach the crime to him.After a trial, which extended from Friday a.m.until Monday p.m, the jury retired and returned in a few moments with a verdict of \u201cnot guilty.\u201d The Rev Father Belanger, of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, St Jean Baptiste Village, acted as interpreter and Mr D.McCormick as counsel for the prisoner.MrJ.K.Elliott appeared for the Crown.& The Spring has come in somewhat tario entertained by too many in

used by manufacturers in Canada in filling orders for the Canada Pacific Railway company.These remissions Sir L.Tilley estimates will not reach $200,000, but as he did not include bridging material the probability is that the loss to the revenue will be much greater.This is another sop to the Syndicate.The submission by the Government of such a bill is a complete refutation of their pretension, while urging the adoption of the National Policy, that it would not increase the price of commodities to the consumer.If the iron- founders and machinists could furnish castings and wrought-iron work as cheaply now as under the old tariff, there would have been no necessity for these remissions.Mr GLADSTONE informed the British House of Commons the other night that the Afghan war has cost the enormous sum of 65 million dollars.In return for this lavish waste of treasure England has absolutely nothing to show, and is in 2 worse position than when she entered upon that wicked war.By the repeated disasters she bas suffered, she has lost prestige in the eyes of both the natives of India and Afghanistan, and were the Russians to attempt an invasion she would have to meet it under less favorable circumstances.That Beaconsfield, in his reckless and offensive course of bluster and defiance of what is just, should thus have embarrassed the Empire is disgraceful.His \u201cscientific frontier\u201d has proved a greater fiction than his own novels and the pity is that not he but the brave men who have shed their blood amid the Afghan passes and the ratepayers of England should be the sufferers, THE Scott act, which puta it in the power of a majority of electors in a county to suppress the liquor-traffic, had a narrow escape at the close of the session.In the Senate an amendment was moved that the provisions of the act should apply only to spirituous liquors, and that beer and wine with less than 10 per cent.of alcohol should be allowed to be sold.The amendment was carried, but fortunately it was found impracticable to submit it to the Commons, so that it is of no effect.Believing license laws and permissive legislation generally to be unsound in principle, we do not regard the Scott act with much favor, but think it well it should have à {each day during the past ten days, yet it has done so very slowly, and the bulk of the snow is still on the ground and the ice in the rivers.On Monday the Chateau- guay rose rapidly, and between this and Athelstan stood higher than it has done for several years, The cold that followed, checked what might bave been a disastrous flood.Opposite this village the ice from the rapids above it is jammed, and a rapid thaw would yet do damage to buildings along the north bank.The crossing on the St Lawrence is still tolerable and teams continue to cross daily, tho caution is needed.The steamer is to resume her trips from Caughnawaga to Lachine on Monday.There have been over 4 months of good sleighing this winter, with the result of a vast amount of teaming having been done.The sawmills never had as many logs.&\u20acZ On the night of Thursday, the 17th inst, the dwelling house, kitchen, and woodshed of James R.Stewart, of Have- lock, were totally destroyed by fire, along with the contents of the buildings except a very few articles.Mr and Mrs Stewart, along with a hired man and girl, narrowly escaped with their lives, having to leave their rooms in their night clothes.In order to save the hired man, Mr Stewart had to go up a ladder and break the shutters and window and wake and get him out, as he seemed to be stupefied with smoke.The fire appears to have started from an arch or chimney which had been used for boiling sugar the previous day.The loss is fully 82000, with only about 8400 insurance in the Commercial Union Co.Mr Stewart has the warmest sympathy of the community.62% Work at boring for the Hochelaga tunnel was suspended on Friday, owing to the insecurity of the ice.It is reported, tho we do not vouch for it, that Mr Shanly will not require further drilling in the ship channel, but will be content with the sinking of a hole by the bank.Trains have ceased to cross the ice-bridge.&ZF On Friday evening, a\u2019 very pleasant gathering was held in the English River schoolhouse, the occasion being an exbi- bition got up by the teacher, Miss Grant.The program was long and varied, consisting of dialogues, recitations, simultaneous readings and musical pieces.Notwithstanding the condition of the roads, the building was filled by an appreciative audience, and.the

that the House and the country should look with considerable astonishment, snd perhaps with considerablo alarm, at the enormous extent of the estimates which the Finance Mininter had found it necessary to propose.In 1878 the total expendituro of the country was as nearly as possible 23% millions, while the estimates for the year ending June 30th, : 1882, now before the tlouse, wus very nearly \u201826% million dollars.It was quite true that owing to an almost unprecedented revival in some departments of trade there had been a large accession to the revenue.In 1879 the | total produce of the forest in Canada amount.led to 813,161,000; this year they would in \u2018all probability equal $27,000,000; in this branch alone there wus a very large increase to the income of the public, and consequently the power to purchase goods from which an incomo may be derived.He thought the most ardent supporter of tho Government would not dare to ussert that this was in any way causod by the success of the Government policy.It was not by any mgans be- sido the question to compare the position of Canada in some important respects with the United States.In addition to increasing its annual expenditure Canada was increasing its indebtedness, at the rato of $14,000,000 per annum, according to the estimates of the hon.gentleman opposite.At the rate which the United States was decreasing its national debt it was probable that in July, 1882, it would be brought down to $1.750,000,000.The net debt of Canada at the samo date, according to the estimates brought down, would not Le less than $175,000,000, or a very much largor public debt per head than the United States.lt was impossible to suppose that this comparison would not be made to our serious disadvantage, and this was another reason for the Government exercising more prudence in future.The argument that there was plenty of money in the treasury, and a surplus on hand was a most fallacious one when it was considered that this surplus was obtained by unjust means and oppressive taxes.Ho moved the following amendment, \u201cThat the Speaker do not now leave the chair, but that it be resolved that as the exponditure for 1878 was 823,503,000, and that the expenditure for the year 1880 was 824,850,000, and that the estimates for the year 1882 amount to 826,465,000, and that a very lurge proportion of this expenditure consists of charges of a xed character, which when once created aro either incapable or very difficult of reduction, and that recent legislation and completion of existing engagements will result in steadily increasing the fixed charges in the next few years, and that experience has shown that tho enormous and rapid increase of fixed charges had produced great embarrassment Lo public finances, therefore that the House views with regret the proposal of the Government to expend for the year 1881 81,615,000 more than the expenditure for 1850, and 82,962,000 more than the expenditure for all purposes in 1878.\u201d Sir E Tilley replied briefly.Ilo suid the increase of expenditure was altogether due to the developement of tho resources of the country and that the increase in income would moro than meet it.Amendment lost by 67 to 29.Holton voted for it; Bergeron against.Scriver not present.THURSDAY In supply, on the item for canals being reached, Mr Scriver said: 1 desire to call the attention of the hon.Minister of Public Works more particularly to the effect which bas been produced by tho enlargement of the works on the Lachine Canal, and the exten.gion of the mouth of the canal, on the ferry across the St Lawrence.The hon.gentleman is aware that there bus been a ferry there for many years past which has afforded to the inhabitants of Chateauguay and of the western part of Huntingdon Co, the means of getting to Montreal\u2014indeed the only means, at u certain season of the year.Perhaps he is not aware that the effect of tho extension of the mouth of the canal has been to produce still water and to cause tho formation of ice there, so ns to prevent the crossing of the boat altogether, ntil the present winter this ferry has been mado use of by the Grand Trunk Railway for the Caughnawaga division ; but owing to the extensiun of their line to St Isidore, they have ceased to use it, and to have tho same interest in it that they formerly bad.The interest in it is chiefly limited to the people of the counties I have mentioned.The mails also were formerly transported by this ferry ; bat since the withdrawal of the steamboat they have been taken across in canoes, which is an uncertain and inconvoniont method.I know no way which the Government can do justice to the people interested in the matter but by extending the railway wharf at Lachine a little farther into the river.If this wore done, as it conld be at a comparatively small expense, the addresss was winter ferry could be still kept up.Mr Pope (Compton).The bon.member for Jacques Cartier (Mr Girovard) has fro- quently called the attention of the Government to this mattor, and they have been watching the effect of the ice at that point, with the view, if possible, of meeting the ing are the persons appointed for this|dificoity complained of; and wo hope to find somo nolation of it before long.FRIDAY, Sir L.Tilley moved à resolution authors ising the Government to borrow the sum of 18 million dollars, which was adopted, Sir John A.Macdonald moved the second reading of the Bill to provide for the extension the boundaries of the Province of Manitoba.It comprises at present 8 million acres; under the bill, it would have 98 mil- tion fore.ba ong debate ensued on the circumstance that the boundary was extended eset ms weil mm as west, and so made to include a large slice of territory which Ontario claimed.The Government contended it was only fair to Manitoba to give ber à port on Lake Saperior 'by annexing the Thunder Bay region.Mr Dawson, member for that section, said his constituents objected to being annexed to |\u201d On the motion for third reading, j Mr Mills moved in amendmont that the bill be referred back to the commitlee to await tho arbitration as to tbe western limits of Ontario.Lost by 92 to 20.Soriver and Holton voted for amendment; Bergeron agninet.Mr Blake, while favoring the extension of the limits of Manitoba west and north, opposed the change of its eastern boundary, as an infringement on the rights of Ontario, which bad always claimed Prince Arthur's i Landing, Several amendments to leavo the eastern line as at present wore voted down and the bill passed.On the vote of $10,000 for a monument to Sir ticorge Cartier, Mr Blake said that, when the vote was first proposed, the vote of the Liberal party had been recorded against it, and the fact that the vote had not been acted upon showed the wisdom of the course then taken.He did not think a party leader should receive at the hands of members of his own political party, who happened to control the reins of power, such an honor at the expense of the country.If this rule were to prevail, he could name other men who were entitled as much to this distinction as any others who could be named.He mentioned Joseph Howe, D'Arcy McGee and Geo.Brown, He did not think that these distinctions should be made, and on this ground he would record his own dissent to this proposition.Mr Langevin regretted that the hon.gentleman had thus declared himself, and, alter the period of time which had been allowed to elapse, he did not think any objection should have been taken to this vote.Me Mills said that be was satisfied that not only the Reform party, but large numbers of Conservatives, would not agree to this vote.le mentioned that Robert Baldwin had not been given a monument.Sir John Macdonald said that he believed that the majority of the people of Canada would accopt this mito as a fitting testimonial to one of whom his country was justly proud.Ile referred to the services which that gentleman had rendered, and to the circumstances of his death, and said ho did not think Mr Blake had strengthened himself with friend or foo by his action.\u2018Fo thus show enmity to the memory of another public man in this way was uncalled for, unnecessary, and, in some degree, somewhat discreditablo.Mr Blako said that he did not rise to prolong the discussion.He would merely say that if the hon.gentleman had been in his place, even to make a political point, he did not think he could say that he had said one word to show enmity to the memory of Sir George Cartior, The item was paesed.MONDAY.Parliament was prorogucd, after the Governor had given his assent to the bills passed.In the short speech he read, he said: In relieving you from your parliamentary duties, after a long and laborious session, I desire to convey to you my best thanks for the assiduity you bave shown in their performance.The measure for transferring to a company of capitalists the responsibility of constructing and operating the Canadian lacitic Railway will, I am assured, be fo!- lowed by most fuvorable results, and assure the rapid completion of this great national enterprise.lt will be the duty and interest of the Company to use every exertion to dispose of their land without delay and for that purpose to promote immigration from abroad on an extensive scale.My Ministers will, however, not relax their efforts in the samo direction, and it is belioved that by the united action ot the Government and the Company, a large influx of valuable settlers may be confidently anticipated.Such an immigration must tend to enhance the value of the public domain in the Northwest, while the system of making free grants to actual scttlers will bo maintained in its integrity.The lands reserved for sale by the Crown will, it is believed, be disposed of at prices sufficient eventually to repay the whole of the expenditure of money by the Dominion on tho construction of the railway.CANADA.An additional new basin to large vessels will be opened at the mouth of the Lachine canal here in May.There is a scarcity of labor on

a case was brought to our notice in which a young man moving in our best society annoyed a young lady by following ber for a considerable distance and finally accosting her.In this cnse the lady bad

15.\u2014A caso of some in- torest was beforo the Police Magistrate this afternoon.Jean Beaudry, the plaintiff, some timo during the summer had a horse injured upon the Grand Trunk Railway track at the river front, and learning that ho had thus a claim against the Company, a French Canadian lawyer named Pelletier, it is nlloged, went to Boaudry and urged him to take out fA summons against the Company.This Beaudry did.Meantime the Company's logal agent, Mr Crowther, was awaiting tho presentation of the man's claim.The summons came instead.Mr Crowther saw the lawyor, and the latter agreed to take 863\u2014- $11 for costs, 812 for the veterinary surgeon, and 840 for the claimant.The money was The export trade of horses, like that of! cattle, from Montreal bad a vory small be.| ginning, but of late it has developed into gigantic proportions, with every prospect of still increasing.The amount thero dur ing the past month by American dealers for paid to tho lawyer by the Company.The lawyer thon offered to pay Beaudry with 830, provided he should out of that sum give $12 to the veterinary surgeon, so that the lawyer would bave $33, and Boaudry $18.This is a tair'specimen of the sharks who invest the Courts.In Montreal St Patrick's cole brated by attending mass Le t Pat ~~ church, and subsequently walking ig cession thru the western division of the sit Evorgreen arches woro erectod

grand ag in forme years.This was owing, in a great meayy .to there being a difference of opinion on the ex pedioncy of holding the procession, Mgr Fabre presided at mass, and Rev Jomo: Callahan preached.The rev.gentleman in culcated a love for order in ull agitations for reform.He also denounced Socialism.Communism, and Nihilism.At the close of the procession Mr T.B, MoNamee, th prosident of St Patrick's society, addr.: à multitade from the window of St Patrick\u2019 hall.He said :\u2014\u201c] believe and hope that tho new mensure of reliof for Ireland which, Mr Gladstone promises, in

children.\u201d The only incident of an untoward character that occurred in the course of the day was some miscreant firin a ball out of a catapult from the roof of a house on Victoria square when the procession was passing, hitting a young man op the head, and inflicting a painful it not dap.gerous wound.Some leaden bullets were also thrown by boys among the crowd from the roof of Toupin\u2019s block, but no one wng injured.The celebration was concluded b a concert in the Academy of Music at night which was well attonded.Daring the proceedings the president, Mr McNamee, wag presented by Mr

ravages of smallpox in that parish, He says tuat 106 people have already been stricken down with the malady in a short space of time, and that thore have been 28 deaths, including both tho fathers and mothers of families leaving 21 orphans.So much distress bas been caused that appeals are made to the Government and to the charitably inclined for aid to avert the famine which is suid to be now evon more threatening than disease.The smallpox is being extonsively spread by those suffering from it wandering to the houses of those who have so fur e:caped to beg for food.Just before Parliament closed, Sir John presented tho annual report of his Department, from which it appears there has been a seeming diminution in the transactions in Dominion lands during the past year, as compared with tho previous year.There doos not appear, however, to have been any actual falling off, and there has certainly been a practical increase in the number of settlers over any year in the history of the country.An unusually extensive area of lands not yet surveyed, or, if surveyed, not set out for settlement, as required by law, has been squatted upon.\u2018These squatters are not, as a rule, speculators, but in the majority of instances prove industrious and valuable cultivators of the soil, and as such, are entitled to receive every protection consistent with the public interest when the lands on which they have squatted come into the market.This tendency to settle in advance of survey is not new, but was developed in an unusual degree last year, in conscequenco of the rapid progress westward of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the prospect of an early construction of the Manitoba South-Western in the ncighbor- hood of the assumed line, on both of which the bulk of squatters aro to be found.Tbe fact of the existonce of deposits of lignite in the valley of the Souris River, the extent and value of which were to some extent established by the Director of the Geological Survey daring the past season, has also bad a powerful attractive influence upon the direction of the streams of immigration, In the course of tho summer Prof.Macoun proceeded to make an exploration of the country embracing the great Souris Plain and the country between it and tho Cypress Ills, also between the latter and the South Saskatchewan, with a view to ascertain the capacities of those districts for agricultural and pastoral purposes.The result of his inquiries, briofly stated, was to show that whut had hitherto been regarded as an arid plain contains much productive land, that the rainfull is sufficient, and that tho extreme winter frosts, instead of being à drawback to the cultivation of crops, are calculated to contributo to the success of farming operations.The very gradual evaporation resulting from the turning of the strong clay sub-soil furnishes a source of constant moisture to the roots of plants thru the onrly part of the aummor ; in fact the portions of the so-called American Desert which extends northerly into Canadian territory was proved to havo no existence as such, for in the very worst parts of tho country many tracts of good soil were found, and almost invariably the grass was rich and nutriive, offering excellent facilities for stock-raising.CHIEF JOSEPH'S FAMILY.MoNTREAL, March 18, 1881.To the Editor of the Gleaner.Bir,\u2014In your issue

been a glad to you that Methodist minister could be found, who would so 8 dially endorse your attack on the laity aod minis the Methodist church, as was done in the re.7e communication of tbe Rev 8.E.Maudaley.But, ee the poetical fire and the rhetorical skill of that \" mmunication are admirable, it surely does mot sus.in the definite charge of your article.Taken out of their connection, and therefore stripped of what gave them peculiar force and keenncsa, your words are a knows bow little this simple Indisn realized! what 8 hollow and nerveless thing Protestantism is in | ¢ or how even ministers and members of the church of his affections made the claims of his tribe subservient tu * litical considerations\u201d 1 have made free to Itnlicizs the words to wbich particular exception was taken, and for the truth of which Mr Maudsley so vigorously pattles ; altho, for taking such exception, another minister wrote me, «You descrve the heurty thanks of every Methodist subscriber to the Gleaner.\u201d If it can Le shown that a single minister and any number of laymen bave ¢ndeavored to make political capital out of the Oka troubles, then I will publicly acknowledge my error and most humbly apelogize for what I have written, In my opiniun, 60 far is it from being true that our church has mado the claims of the Indians subservient to political considerations, that particular care has becn taken to keop the question of their claims altogether out of the arena of party politics : and that each party, when in power, has bad its duty to protect the Indians and to vindicate their rights, placed before it with equal pressure and impartial per.inacity.Hat all has not been done which those who have been justly proud of the policy of our Government towards the Indians within its territory, and who Late oppression and wrong such as has been inflicted upon the Okas, is readily granted.But is the Methodist church to blame for this?Ought we to \u201cacknowledge that we bave been derelict and somewhat delinquent ?\u201d In order to answer, let us trace à few facts.In 1869, our Missionary Society responded to what it calls \u201ca very remarkable document,\u201d embodying an appeal for tbo supply of a Missionary and a day-school teacher for these Indians.During this period of twelve years, the society has expended over $10,000, in providing for their spiritual and cducational wants ; Joseph was instructed and ordained as a Minister ; and several promising Indian youths have been sent to higher educational institutions and qualified as teachers.Special subscriptions were taken for the church which was destroyed and for the erection of school-houses ; and large contributions made for their temporal relief and legal defence; in which, we cheerfully and gratefully acknowledge, other churches have heartily and generously assisted us, The Okas are the \u201cjoint wards\u201d of the Government and the Methodist church ! but in what sense?In strict propriety and justice, our church can only be held responsible for what it undertook to do for them.Here let me repeat \u201cYou are awaro that the legal defence of the Okas was undertaken by the \u2018Civil Rights Alliance, on the ground that the responsibility for the vindication of their rights, rests cqually on all good citizens, and that the Methodist church ought not to meet the obligations of that responsibility alone.\u201d It is true, & constructive obligation to detend all the interests of the Indians, may be inferred from the acceptance of their spiritual oversight ; and had not the public conscience been awakened by their cruel persecution, the church would Lave fully assumed such obligation and would have alone borne the burden, had it been necessary.The proof of this we have in the Missionary Report of 1871.It says, \u201cThe local committee in Montreal bave paid good attention to the rights and claims of that part of the community who have united with the Wesleyan church at Oka, and notwithstanding there are grave subjects affecting personal rights and religious freedom still to Le adjusted, hopes are not given up of effecting some change in the relationship of the two antagonistic parties, which may result beneficially to the Iroquois in greater temporal and spiritual prosperity.\u201d When the whole country was aroused by tho unchristian, yen fiendish treatment of the Indians by the Seminary ; and the Civil Defence Association sprang into existence as the representative of outraged public feeling ; the Methodist church co-operated with the Alliance, and continued to give its moral support and pecuniary Ald.After all, has not the Methodist church been \u201ctrifling with great issues ?* Why Las it not used its machinery in this case, as it did in others during the past 25 years ?Why ?Because the cases ave not analogous.It never trifles with great issues! \u201cThat the existing go-called Seminary, with Machiavelian skill, bas be- girt the original arrangement with the Indians with great difficultivs, is painfully apparent.\u201d There is the reason for slow progress.The question has been, not what is desirable, but what is practicable ?Here there is plenty of room for difference between heart and intellect.So what was the best way to effect the desirable, became à matter of judgment, and on this opinions must necessarily vary.\u2018But because the means have not been used, which we think ought to have been, are we to conclude that the subject has been trifled with ?Certainly not I Wlien at the request of the Hon, Mr Mills, then Minister of the Interior, Judge Badgley and Hon, Mr Laflamme examined the legal aspects of the case and submitted the following opinion, it is not surprising that eober- minded officials in the Methodist church would hesitate to agitate the whole connexion, cepecially as the Government seemed anxious for a just settlement.The opinion referred to, in which both agreed, is \u201cThat tho title of the corporation of the Seminary of Montreal has constituted that body the sole absolute owners of the property known as the Seigniory of the Lake of the Two Mountains,\u201d This opinion was refuted by the Rev Mr Borland ; but he is only a minister of Christ, not a lawyer; so people might well think that the Indians\u2019 claims were very problematical.Yet the problem must be solved ; new light was being shed upon it ; let another legal opinion be obtained.This was sought from the celebrated Doutre, whose legal acumen had already overmatched the cunning of the Church of Rome.Mr Doutro says, \u201cThe Seminary holds the same position as the Domi- rion Government towards the Caughnawaga Indians and other tribes, and arc Lound to deal with their wards as the Government are derling with theirs\u2014 that is, to turn the whole income and productions of the Seigniory to the benefit of the Indians, including the mines or quarries, if they exist, the produce of the forest without waste, the income derived from pastures, the constituted rents of all conceded lands, representing the Seignorial cens et rentes, and tho indemnity paid by the Government for the abolition of the lods et rentes\u201d Here, then, is the problem rationally solved ; the issue is simple ; let the truth of one or other of these opinions be decided by our courts.The Government has appointed Mr Maclaren, whose manifest ability in successfully defending the Indians should be far more fully recognized, to carry thru, at their expense, such an action.With him, let the peo- ple\u2014the Methodist church if you plense\u2014asseciate Mr Doutre, and the hoped-for result may be reached.The case Lins been complicated, during the past fit.teen months, by unauthorized persons secretly tampering with both tho Indians and the Government.Whether they havo been bribed by the Seminary or are doing it for other purposes of aclf-interest or revenge, is best known to themselves, They have succeeded in sowing some seeds of distrust in tho minds of the Indians ; and had they not been met, would have, before this, relieved the Seminary of ita burden.The Methodist chucch has honestly tried to discharge its duty in behalf of all the interests of the Okas ; whether wisely or not is à matter of opinion.Its Christian Guardian has spoken again and again, clearly and boldly, in advocacy of their rights, and hag thrown all possible light upon the subject, that its readers might understand it.[ts Missionary Society bas, from yenr to year, reported the glad moral and religious results of its labors, and has solicited the Sympathy and co-operation of its patrons.[ts ministers have powerfully pleaded in its behalf from Missionary platforms ; and its Officers have persistently Pressed their claims upon each Government as it came into power.Now, if it can be shown that the Government is insincere in ita appointment of Mr aclaren, or that itis secretly playing into the hands of the enemies of the Okas, I have no doubt but that the Church will see that the time has come to bring All its machinery to bear ; and that Protestants of all denominations will be aroused to demand justice for the Indians, It is the desire of the writer that this communication way help to remove some misconceptions, and so assist in bringing into line for action all the friends of the Okas, Whether it accomplishes this desirable object or not, this is my last reference to the matter complained of.Yours truly, ; Gzoron Rocærs.Granby, March 17,

assembly to be sounded in tho first and second brigades.They fell in and were immediately marched into the town.With fixed bayonets they attacked the riotors, and broken heads and windows ensued.Tho provost marshal and field officers of the day were on the spot.Every public bouse and dancing saloon was cleared, and the rioters wero taken prisoners in great numbers.The provosts were badly
