withdrawing|very trader.My bed was on the floor, while pears in the True Witness of last week, gives a favorable account of progress at Caughnawaga.He writes : It affords me much pleasure to note the evidénce of progress which I have observed, during the past few years, among the Iroquois Indians at Caughnawaga.In no one direction, perhaps, has more marked improvement been made than in the matter of cleanliness.Families that formerly lived in miserable log cabins, in the midst of filth, have managed to get into good stone and log cottage that look comparatively neat and clean.The personal appearance of the Iroquois is also greatly improved, as the old warriors and squaws have abandoned to a great extent, the ancient mode of dressing.These improvements give the Iroquois a much nfore civilized appearance.Next to religious teaching, stands the day school.This, with us, has been a more marked success, than such schools on some other reserves, Of course wo have the same drawbacks as other Indian hamlets, viz : irregularity and non-punctuality of attendance, but these things are not carried to such an excess with us as elsewhere ; still these things aro evils, and if only some remedy could be devised therefor the efliciency and worth of the schools would Lo greatly enhanced.I am of the opinion that if the agents of the various reserves had the power to arrest and inflict somo suitable punishment upon disobedient and unruly youths, who, disregarding alike the wishes and injunctions of their parents, and instead of appearing in the schoolroom spend their time in idle rovings, or even boisterous sport about the doors of the building while school is in session it would have a very salutary effect, and would doubtless secure a much more regular attendance.[u the year 1869) there were onc bakery, ona butchery, four groceries and about thirty liquor shops.The baker baked once a week, and as a rule he had about half of his baking on hand.The demand for flesh meat and bread was at a very low premium in those days, the only parties in favor of such were the so-called Canadians (or half-breeds) and employees of the Grand Trunk Railway.The cooking of the lodians consisted in pounding their corn into samp or homminy, boiling the homminy, making now and then a cake and baking it on the stove.The couking utensils consisted of a homminy block and pestle, a large pot, kettle, a knife or two and a few vessels of crockery ; some used vessels made of bark or wood.At, oue of the first weddings 1 had the honor of attending, I remember that there were neither knives, forks nor spoons on the table.An In- Jian, seeing the position I was in, broke his wooden spoon in two and gave ne the one-half.It would be difficult to find a table like that today, as the poorest family on the reserve mse knives, forks, spoons and good, clean delf dishes, while the more wealthy Indians use silver kuives, forks, spoons, &e, cane and hair bottomed chairs, religious pictures hanging on their walls, painted and carpeted floors, and cleau coverings on their beds.At present there are seven groceries, two butcheries and three bakeries in the viliage, and not one tavern or liquor shop of any sort.Of course the Indians are not all temperate ; at times a man or woman may be seen a little the worse for liquor as they can get it at Lachine or Montreal, but there is not the disorder as formerly ; one is not so apt to be disturbed during the night by the yelling of drunkards.Some years ago the midnight slumber of the missionary had been considerably disturbed during the night by the yelling of a dranken aborigine ; the following morning the rev.missionary accosted the disturber of the peace for his noisy Lehavier during the night ; the savage replied that as the road belonged to him he could say and do as he pleased, and for the missionary to mind his own business.Asa rule the aborigines have no respect for those placed over them, and think as they are paid from their funds that they are simply their sorvants and look upon them as such.I have seen in a number of instances the effects of education upon some of our aborigines who were taken, when young, from their families and placed at school before they had an opportunity to contract many aboriginal habits, and were kept till they had arrived at a fair age ; but T have never seen une of those but that was an aborigine in every respect after he returned.Aborigines must and will Le aborigines, in spite of all the meaus that can Le -used to instruct them in the arts and sciences.Many of the aborigines are making vast progress in agriculture, but as long as Indian novelties are in vogue the aboriginal majority of Sault St Louis will never take to the tillage of the land.the leading business of our Iroquois.John de Lormiere and Thomas Jacks are the leading quarry contractors in the reserve ; they are men of ability and perseverance and have done a great deal to advance the place.Joseph Williams is the leading trader in Indian curiosities and I am sure he has done much more for the interest of the Indians than he has been pecu- niarily benefited.An aide-de-camp\u2019s room in Rideau Hall, Ottawa, is well-filled with curiosities purchased by the Princess Louise during her tour thra British Columbia Packages arrive and are unpacked almost daily at Government House.Some of the articles are unique.One in particular, a Chinese fiddle, is rather a curious.looking instrument.It is shaped like a banjo, about three feet lung, with a round head, and, -|has three strings.The pegs for winding up these are cut vut of an elephant's tusks, The bow is about à yard long, and in lieu of horsehair has à single cord resembling the third string of a violin, Ainong other articles are s number of gro from the Indians on the Pacific slope, Macadamized Road Co.vs.Leclarce, which has been before the Courts in Ottawa and Toronto Rafting and peddling is at present] the case.The Company brought the action, against Leclarce for breaking tho toll bar at Cummings Bridge, which he claimed he had a | rfect right to do, as he did not travel one hundred yards upon the road in coming frow Ayrsville to the Lridge and no toll could be charged for a leas distanco.Montreal, Jan.16 \u2014The resurrectionists belonging to this city aro still keeping up their infamous practices Ly raiding the vaults in country cemeteries and runuing off with the dead bodies contained therein.The inducement is said to arise from the dearth of subjects and the high prices paid for those brought to the dissecting rooms.Formerly $25 were considered high, but now the average prico is $40.The regular professionals in the dark trade seem to have died out, and now the studonts aro alone trying their handa.In every caso of; late the thefts have been traced to young Esculapians, who go to their own neighborhoods and desecrato the resting-places of even former friends.The latest case of thieving brought to light was at Ste Marie, on the banks of the Richelicu river, where the vault was broken open with crowbars and the bodies of two young men dragged out of their coflins in a state of nudity and taken away.Tho footsteps of the robbers wero traced thru the snow for nearly two miles, when the bodies were found in a barn covered over.It is supposed they were merely deposited there until a favorable opportunity should occur to get them off to the medical colleges hero.Warrants for tho arrest of two students from tho vicinity now studying at Luval have heen issued by tho stipendiary magistrate, and it is said they will not be let off as is generally tho caso.Another attempt of à similar character was made to break into the Morguo at Longue Pointe lunatic asylum last night, but it was prevented by the watchman, who caught onc of the four students named Filiatrault, who was subsequently hound over to appear in court when called on.Those lusing friends outside of Montreal are in a state of trepidation lest these nightly marauders may steal the remains, At the city cemctories the dead houses are tou strong and solid fora crowbar, therefore no evil attempts are mado upon them.Ottawa, Jau 10.\u2014A serious accident occurred on the Canada Atlantic Railway near Bear- brook last night.Owing to the spreading of the rails, the rear parlor, car of the up train from Montreal was overturned.The locomotive and front cars passed over safely, but the Pullman became uncoupled and fell over on its side.The car was well-filled with passengers, the greater number of whom were more or less bruised by loose seats and other articles failing upon thew.It was a long tine before any of the passengers could be got out of the car, mt fortunately there was very little fire in the stove, for had the car taken fire all would have Leen smothered or burnt to death.Hon A.W.MeLelan, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, was among the passengers, aud reccived injuries, The train was delayed 5 hours, arriving here about 2 o'clock this morning.A number of ladies were on hoard, all of whom escaped injury.The Canadian Pacific Railway Company is now operating its main line from Winnipeg.Man, west to Regina, 338 miles; the brane from Winnipeg to St Vincent, G8 miles, and the main line from Winnipeg eastward to Rat Portage, 135 miles.From Hat Portage to Thunder Bay, 163 miles, the track is laid, but the road has not yet been turned over by the contractors, There are also 42 miles of main line, 62 miles of branch lino graded.Thereare on the road 96 engines, 40 passenger cars, (00 box and 2,400 flat cars.UNITED STATES, The Rome & Watertown railroad is being relaid with steel rails and placed in the best condition, It is doing a very largo Lusiness, San Antonio, Texas, Jany.12.\u2014A silver spike was driven to-day on the Mexican Pacific Railroad extension, connecting it with the Southern Pacific, and giving a direct line from San Francisco to New Orleans, Delaware Breakwater, Jany.12.\u2014Tho lay- tien brig Goldfinder, was towed in to-day with the crow all dead but tho captain and 1 man They are both frost-bitten.Four of the crew had been frozen to death.The supervisors of Lewis county, N.Y, have enacted a law prohibiting the killing of skunks.The theory on which tho law is based is that skunks dig the grubs out of hop hills, and are therefore of benefit to the farmers, The story is told in Hartford of a discharged State prison convict who, as soon as he reached that city, burst into tears, and was inconsolate, because he had left his pet mouse in his cell.The little beast was the only friend ho had.It came from a hole in the corner every morning.and ate the crumbs from his hand.\u201cHe would playfully run down my arm and play about my face, let me feed him, and stay by me when I was eating ny supper,\u201d ho said; \u201cwhen 1 went into my cell, and did not pay immediate attention to my little pet, he would chatter and scold at me in such an earnest way that it wade mo laugh.He was my one friend, and I have come away forgetting him.\u201d Tho agent of the Prison Association restored the mouse to his friend.A traveller in the Northwest records some unpleasant recollections of a night's lodging smong the \u201cnatives\u201d on the St Croix River, Such experiences, however, are always to be expected when une cuts lvose from home, and takes to the Western wild, whether for adventure's sake or in quest of useful knowledge.I tesque wooden statues purchased | only remained at Red Wing Village one night, The case of the Ottawa, Montreal & Russell | but such a night I hope never to pass again.An unprincipled trader had furnished tho Indians with \u2018\u2019fire-water,\u201d and the whole posse of them were raving mad, for rum always makes my host and his family occupied two beds in opposite corners of the only room in the house, And such horrible yelling and screaming as I heard during the firat half of the mght | shall never forget.The noises wero unearth) devilish, kuives as somo of the more desperato red-s came together in a fight ; and now I could hear tho sobbings and muanings of some half-drunk- en squaw, as she ex and mutilated her body to perpetuate the memory of a dead husband or child.But there was one incident which gave me a severe fright.The fow white people of this wilderness nover think of lockin their doors at night, and tho Indians of the region claim it as a privilege to enter and depart from a settlers cabin whenever they please, and their intrusions are always looked upon as matters of course, tho 1 knew nothing of this at the timo.1t was somewhat after midnight, and tho yelling of tho savages had partly subsided, i had Just-fallen into a doze, when I was startled by tho stealthy opening of our cabin door, and the tread of muffled footsteps.It was intensely dark, but 1 knew it was an Indian, and thought that somebody was about to be wurdered.Tho intruder made just noise enough to rack my brain and then was perfectly still.1 listened, and with hardly a particle of breath in my body.I still kept listening \u2014until 1 actually fainted upon my pillow from oxcess of fear.Finally I slept, and my dreams wero of blood, and blood only.The tirst peep of day, however, awakened mo, when lo ! directly at my side, flat on the fluor, was a hugo black Indian, breathing in his deep slumber like a porpoise.The first intelligence that I heard on going out of the door was that one Indian had heen killed during the night, and that another was at that moment in the ngonies of death.As may be supposed, 1 loft the Red Wing Village with pleasure.MISCELLANKOUS.« Very many communities know the excitement produced by the rumor that somebedy in the vicinity has found indications of the pre.senco of gold in the soil.Untold millions have been expended in searching for the precious metal in localities where n bit of useless iron pyrites (sulphide of ivon) has been mistaken for gold, which it resembles in color, Our observation indicates that there is, on at least four-fifths of the farms of this country, an over- lovked golden vein, of wuch greater value than any yellow metal likely to bo found outside of a lew special geological formations, Tho ful- lowing experiment, tried on any farm or garden, will explain what we are aiming at, Take à quart of fair quality yard manure, and pour upon it a pintof water.After standing a week or two, drain off half a pint of the liquid, Now prepare two corn hills, a few fuet apart, on any ground, even rich prairie soil, For one hill, make a hole three or four inches deep, and pour into it the half-pint of liquid, adding a triflo of fine earth, and plant the corn.Plant the second hill without this preparation.The result will be, almost always, that in the first hill the rootlets, and subsequent roots, will grow down where the liquid has soaked, much more quickly, grow stronger, spread wider, and send out far more numerous feeding fibres than will be found in the second hill.The young corn plants (and the same with other plants) will, like well fed young animals, develop much earlier and tako far better advantage of the growing season.In short, whatever the soil, this hill will, on the average, ripen earlier, produce more stalks, and twenty to fifty per cent often a hundred per cent\u2014more sound kernels than the other hill.And, by the way, there is in the quart of fertilizer enough material left for.a similar effect upon three or four other corn hills, Now, visit tho farm yards of the country generally, and in nine-tenths of them there will be found, on one side ur another, quarts, gallons, barrelfuls of this golden liquid lenching away and wasting \u2014often scores and hundreds of barrels of it during à year.Yet, at trifling cost, perhaps only an earth bank on the lower side of the yard, all this wastage may be saved and turned to account.The streams, rich in stimulating plant food, now lost from the yards of the four and one-third million farms of our country, may, with very littlo care and trouble, be retained in- the rotting organic matter, and transferred to corn hills and to the roots of other crops.Real gold will be found in the increased crops, and be obtained at far less cost and labor than is expended by the great mass of gold miners, Proper attention to so simple & matter on the farts of the country, taken together, would add more dollars to the wealth of the country every year than is now dug out of all the gold mines between the Atlantic and the Pacifie, Daring this leisure month let every one look over his own premises, and see what he is wasting in this direction, and where ho can save and profit.Milk and coffee atains are very diflicult to remove, especially from light colored and finely finished goods.\"From woulen and mixed fabrics they are taken out by moistening them with a mixture of one part glycerine, nine farts water, and one-half part aqua ammonia.his mixture is applied to the gouus by means of a brush, and allowed to remain for 12 hours (occasionally renewing the moistening.\u2019 After this time, the stained pieces are pressed between cloth, and then rubbed with a clean rag.Drying, and if possible a light steaming, is generally sufficient to thuroly remove the stains, Stains on silk garments, which are dyed with delicate colors, or finely finished, are more difficult to remove.In this case five parts glycerine are mixed with five parts water, and one-quarter part of ammonia added.Before using this mixture it should be tried on some part of the garments where it can not be noticed, in order to see if the mixture will change color.If such is the case nv ammonia should be added.If, on the contrary, no change and for the past five years, has lately been mettled | the Indian frantically crazy.For want of à If the stain is not then removed, a rubbing with dry bread will easily take it off.To restore the finish, a thin solution ram-arable.is brushed on, thea dried and ullyjironed, By caroful \u2018manipulation these stains will be sucosssfully removed.Berlin, Jan.16\u2014The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have declined to receive pre- sente on the occasion of their silver wedding, and request that tho donors expend the money.they proposed thus using in relieving the distress caused by the inundations.One of the moat recent inventions is a \u201chand grenade fire extingnisher.\u201d It is a glass bottle, of convenient , domtaining a chemical Now I could hear the clash ng of solution.It an) tbat whee thrown upon any burning objest with sufficient force the bottle will break, and the liberated gases will at ouco stifle and destroy the fire.Trouble is brewing between China and the foreign powers, owing to the obstruction offered by the Peking Government to the manufasture of goods by foreigners at tire open ports.The German envoy has notified the authorities that his Government will resist any sush attempts, if need Le, by force.In Dr Foote's Health Monthly we find the following remedy for hoarseness : Let & lump of borax dissolve slowly in the month ; or inhale mild ammonia vapor ; and put a cloth wrung out with cold water about the throat when retiring for the night, FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THN TOWNSHIP OF
