covered with black hair, His home is said to be on the island, and two raftsmen who were bold enough to go in search of him, had a narrow escape from being killed, one of them having his arm fractured by the giant.Ottawa, July 30.\u2014Mr McHugh, Assistant Inspector of Northwest Indian farms under Treaty No.7, is at present in the city.He states that Calgary is progressing beyond the most sanguine anticipation of its people, and expresses the belief that in the near future it must become a t centre of population.The Indians under his charge have made rapid progress in the art of farming, so that the Government bave been enabled to abolish the two supply farms.They take kindly to the new departure, and after an experience of 4 years are now in a position to save enough seed for future operations.A number of farming instructors remain with them yet, but in the course of time it is expected that their services will be dispensed with, and the red men placed on an equal footing as their white brethren.There were times during the Sepoy rebellion in India when men were more to be dreaded than wild beasts ; but the following minor incident of that reign of terror shows how the lives of two young English soldiers, exposed to both perils, were strangely saved thru the pre- ferance of a tiger for native flesh.The young men had been suddenly captured on rear:guard duty by a prowling band of Moslems, and were being marched to the place of imprisonment and torture.\u201d At the first night's camp, they were meditating escape in the vain hope that their guards would fall asleep.Two hours passed.The fire burned low, and the boys, in spite of the danger of their situation, were just dropping off to sleep, when there was a tremendous roar\u2014a rush of some great body passing over them; a scream from one of the natives; a yell of terror from the rest.A tiger stood with one of the guards in his mouth, growling fiercely, and giving him an occasional shake, as a cat would shake a mouse, while one of his paws held down the prostrate figure of the other.There was a wild stampede, Men tumbled over each other in their efforts to escape from the terrible presence, and then, getting to their feet, started off at full speed.or a moment the English soldiers had lain paralyzed by the sudden advent of the terrible man-eater, and then had, like the rest, darted away.\u201cTo the jungle,\u201d Ned exclaimed; and in an instant they plunged into the undergrowth, and were forcing their way at full speed thru it.Man-eating tigers are rarely found in pairs, and there was little fear that another was lurking in the wood; and even bad such been the case, they would have preferred death in that form, to being murdered in cold blood by the enemy.Presently they struck on a track leading thru the wood, and followed it, until in five minutes they emerged at the other side.As they did so they heard the report of firearms in the direction of their last halting- place, and guessed that the peasants were firing at hazard in hopes of frightening the tiger into dropping his prey.As to their own flight, it was probable that so far their enemies had not thought of it.The first object of the fugitives was to get as far as possible from their captors, who would at day-break be sure to organize a regular hunt for them, and accordingly they ran straight ahead until in three-quarters of an hour they came into & wide road.Towards morning they spied a large, fortified house, evidently the abode of some person of consequence, and determined to climb the garden-wail and risk the chances of finding shelter and protection.The house fortunately proved to be the home of & Hindoo lady of rank, who aym- pnébised more with the lish than with the 0 FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF

from Michigan.Te was behind time and running forty miles an hour when the collision occurred.The cause of the accident was à freight-car standing on the track; whether it had been blown by the wind from the siding on to the main line or run on to it by malicious persons is unknown.It was noticed too late by the engine-driver to stop his train, the greater part of which was destroyed.The cries and shricks of the wounded and dying were terrible.The crash was heard three miles away.The country is thinly settled, and it was some time beforo assistance could be obtained.22 were killed and 35 wounded.Several of the latter will die, Warm Springs, NC, July 27.\u2014In tearing down an old house near here the skeleton of a mail carrier was found, with a leather bag of letters dated 1827.Pittsburg, Pa., July 27.\u2014There has just been discovered at Freeport, thirty miles from this city, a large subterranean lake, which was tapped by coal miners while blasting.The water underlies a large hill that has been honeycombed by coal mines and salt wells, After immense quantities of both coal and salt were taken out the pits were abandoned, leaving acres upon acres of caves, which have since filled with water.An opening has been made and the water is now running out in an eight-foot stream, but it is thought the great reservoir can never be emptied, as it is fed by underground springs.The water is too close to the roof to permit of navigation, but explorations will be made if the depth can be reduced soy.The hill is nearly two miles long and a half a mile wide.In a dwelling-house that was burned near dren's room, and rescued them with great diffi hammedans, aad by her kindness they w pat in the way of guiting to their frienda, eulty, as $ of them had

over sixty trees was completely carried away, not a single tree remaining.Handing grain was torn up and swopt from the earth.The house of Mrs Elizabeth Barlow was torn to pieces and Mrs Barlow killed.The track of the storm was about four rods wide and two were commenced.A comparison of the two great engineering works in these respects will perhaps best enable the mind to grap the gigantic dimensions of the Forth Bri ge.The reat difficulty to be overcome in bridging the Forth at Queensferry lies in the breadth of the deep-water channel on either side of the Island of Inchgarvie, which lies just about the centre of the Forth, off Queensferry.If the Forth at this point were no deeper than the Tay is at Dundee, the Forth Bridge would be much more easily built than the ill-fated Tay Bridge, because the breadth to be spanned is little more than half as t.But for some 1,600 feet on each side of Inchgarvie Island there is no bottom available for engineering pu Sir Thomas Bouch advocated the adoption of the principle of a suspension bridge to overcome this difficulty.But this would have necessitated the erection of towers of enormous height on each side of both the deep water channels for the support of the chain cables that held the bridge.The present engineers therefore have discarded this project, preferring to adopt the system of cantilever trusses.Mr Hart, photographer, who has arrived at Wellington after a visit to Milford Sound, tells the New Zealand Times that in the course of his tour he had an opportunity of seeing the highest waterfall in the world, that of the Arthur River, about 30 miles from the head of Milford Sound, called by the name of Southern\u2019s Fall, from the first explorer, Mr Southern.It is said to be no less than 5700 feet high, and takes the whole waters of the Arthur River with it, making one almost perpendicular leap of 3000 feet downwards at starting.It is only 20 feet broad at the first point of its descent, and looks at a distance like & bright, broad of water.The sourxes is apparently in some large glacier among the mountains over 9000 feet high, \u2019 In three months 5,327 emigrants have been assisted by

Ms Tama &.Cowan, tinsmith, of Valley.the habitats to properly care Tor the milk, i blocking the track, rendering it impracticable business AUR was not until the) Sy Arya services of Mr Whitaker as manager were secured that the mill was operated to its full capacity, and under his direction it attained a rosperity without parallel in Canada, so great, indeed, as to induce the shareholders to extend it.Two years ago ground was broken, and, tho the work has been prosecuted vigorously, so great was the undertaking, that it could only be said to be fairly completed last month.The extension consists in adding to the East end of the old mill a new one of equal size, the par- tition-wall being broken and both thrown into one.The length of the mill is now 400 feet, by 100 wide, and 90 high.On the North side, in the centre, is a tower, and there is one at either end.They are topped with battlements and bartizans.The combination of feudal architecture with the other bald and prosaic outlines of thebuilding is inanything but good taste.The chief use of the towers is to uphold great tanks, containing 12,000 gallons of water each.The entire building is of limestone, and most substantial mason-work it is.The new portion is better lighted and finished than the old, and is much more bright and cheery.Alongside the main building, is the office, a most elegant apartment, punelled with Southern red pine, instead of being plastered, and where the manager, Mr Whitaker, and the book-keeper, Mr Alex.Barrie, aro to be found.Then there are the picker-rooms, boiler-rooms, and dye and bleaching-honses, all contained in buildings adjoining the mill, and which are separated by fire-proof divisions.The cntire cost of the Company's property at Valleyfield is set down at one million dollars, a sum which exceeds its capital, so that a loan on mortgage of $300,000 is now being raised.The cotton used is Middlings, and is brought direct from the South by rail to Coteau.On the bales being opened in the picker-rooms, their contents are fed into those wicked little machines, which tear the fibres apart and toss them about with a vim that would almost imply they enjoyed the sport, afterwards delivering the cotton in the form of a roll of batting.The object in thus teasing the cotton is to get rid of the seeds and other impurities, and so tightly do they cling to it, that, for the fine bleached cloth made by these mills, the cotton goes thru 3 of these pickers in succession, The rolls are now removed into the main building, where the carding-machines occupy à flat Their operation is similar to woollen cards\u2019 with this differenco, that the rolls are delivered in a continuous coil, filling long, narrow tin cans.The cans are removed as they Lecome full by boys to unother flat, where the rolls begin to be turned into thread.As every housewife knows, the perfection of cloth is to be uni- form\u2014every thread to Le of equal thickness.To begin to spin the rolls as they come from the carding-machines would not do, for even as the rolls look to the eye they are not so in reality.If, however, instead of taking one roll, half-a-dozen are drawn out and twisted into a thread, it will easily be seen that the inequalities of each roll will make up for those of the other\u2014that where one is thick the other is thin, and vice versa,\u2014so that by combining the half-dozen rolls an absolutely even thread is obtained.To the machinery which performs this duty of doubling and drawing, a most ingenious application of electricity has been made.Should a roll or thread snap, the electric monitor stops the machine.Mr Whitaker proved this twice.In one case, on snapping a thread so slender that it was inconceivable the large, complex machine could be aftected by it, the spindles ceased to revolve as surely as they had done when a large roll had been torn asunder.The invention is an English one, and not only aids in the perfecting of the yarn but in saving labor, for one attendant can look after more machines.Between the yarn needed for the weft and the warp there is a difference, which requires separate modes of preparation.The threads that run lengthwise need to be stronger than those that run cross-ways, and are spun by spindles with rings attached, going thru 3 successive drawings and twistings until of the requisite firmness and strength.The yarn for the weft is spun more quickly by the mules, each of which have 1000 spindles.When the bobbins for the weft are ready they are taken to a machine that winds the required number of threads on to a great reel, 750 yards long.Here again there is a device that stops the machine should a thread break.The reels are now removed to an adjoining building, where the thread is run thru a vat of hot size and immediately dried by passing over hot rollers.The object of the sizing is to strengthen the thread to bear the stretching in weaving and to make it smoother for the shuttles.The reels, however, are not yet ready for the loom, for each separate th has to loom was turning out cloth used by doctors for bandaging wounds and broken bones.The mill has now 55,000 spindles in operation and 1100 l6oms, which turn out 200,000 yards of cloth of one kind or another each week, using 50,000 pounds of cotton.The mill could contain more machinery, which, however, it is not intended to putin at present.The motive-power is supplied by 6 turbine-wheels, having 15ft.head, and supplied from the St Lawrence.One wheel operates a machine for lighting the building by electricity, the apparatus having been supplied by the Hamilton Electric Light Company, which uses the Edison patent.The electric light is dearer than gas, which hitherto has been used, but has the advantage of not heating the atmosphere as gas did and causing no smoke, while all danger is avoided.Against fire the provision is most elaborate.Along the ceiling of each room runs a net-work of perforated pipes, at the joint of each of which is a metal-plug, fusible at a temperature that would indicate fire, which would let the water flow into the pipe and drench the room.Supposing the building to be deserted and a fire break out, the apparatus would come into play \u2018automatically and put out the flames without the intervention of a single hand.The tanks in the towers being kept constantly full, an ample supply of water is always sure.The machinery is mostly of English manufacture, and compared with the American looms and machines for preparing and spinning the cotton, is much superior and cost a great deal less.The notion that American machinery is superior to English, is not true, at least, as regards that for cotton mills.The foreman of the repair-shop, which employs 12 hands, is James Sparrow, well-known to many of our readers.With the circumstances of the help in the mill, I was not favorably impressed.In round numbers 800 (men, women, and children) are employed, and of these nearly 700 are French Canadians.The hours of labor are from a quarter-past 6 in the morning to a quarter-past G in the evening, with an hour at noon for dinner, and a half holiday on Saturdays.In winter the hours are from half-past 6 to half-past G.These are long hours, especially for children and young women, to spend amid whirling machinery requiring constant attention, and on their feet all the time.If some get apathetic and discouraged and others seek for relaxation in destructive habits, it is not to be wondered at.The sanitary arrangements, so far as I could judge, are admirable.The amount paid out in wages averages from $16,000 to $20,000 a month.Children and beginners get very little, but expert hands earn fair wages, averaging from $6 to $3 a week.A smart hand, for instance, can manage 6 looms, and there is one Englishman who has 8.The piece system prevails wherever it can be applied.The great bulk of the help will not average $5 a week.Mr Whitaker speaks highly of the quickness of apprehension and dexterity of the French- Canadians, learning more quickly than the English, but failing in perseverance and desire to excel.The English fend wants to make the highest wages possible, while the Canadian takes it more easily and is not vexed if fined for negligence.The foremen are all English- speaking.Mr Whitaker states that the mills of Canada are paying higher wages just now than those of the United States or Great Britain, and that all the help wanted is easily obtainable.As regards the future prospects of the trade he professes to be sanguine, He denies that there is any glut in the market ; alleging that surplus stock is held by the manufacturers and the shelves of wholesale merchants are bare.Owing to the scare about over-production and the expectation that prices will tumble in consequence, dealers just now buy only as necessary.When the trade learns that there is no overplus and that goods will not be sacrificed, a healthy demand will again spring up.The proposition, to close the cotton-mills of Canada for a month, he opposed.The production of bleached cotton has been restricted by employing the looms on other fabrics, and the intention is to keep only half on white goods.For the profitable production of colored goods, he considers more protection necessary.The Company has a magnificent property at Valleyfield ; 480 acres of land with one of the finest water-powers in the world, capable of indefinite extension.Besides the mill above described, it has GO cottages, picturesque, cold, and inconvenient, (the Company can truly say it has suffered many things at the hands of architects), a club-room, and other improvements which have absorbed a great deal of money.That much of the capital has been for the locomotive to get nearer the station, Mr where the people were waiting.In response or child as glad as he was at the arrival of the cars in Huntingdon.It was the proudest mo-

Huntingdon village of the first construction-trmin of the Montreal & Champlain Junction Rallway, we desire to convey to Joseph Hickson, Esq, the Vice-President of the M.& C.J.RR, our deep appreciation of the cnergy, pluck and determination with which your railway enterprise has been carried on to this its almost final consummation, and to whom you have made us asa people believe we are indebted for the railway, untered your company in each progressive step of the im- obstacles which rival companles have erected in your path, of the ungenerous and unpatriotic hostility which has been manifested by some of tho residents of the district your rail- sble to give our testimony to the triumph your company has achieved over all these difticultics, manifested aa it is so the pionecr train of the Montreal & Champlain Junction Railway.To the people of the Chateaugay Valley your railway will culable advantage, giving direct, convenient and rapid communication with Montreal, the centre of commerce and chief market of the Province, which up to this time we have imperfectly enjoyed during only six or seven months in tho year; it will afford an outlet for the products cost of transpertation, and increase the value to the producer of every bushel of grain and article of produce which he has »ito sell.The railway will develop all our Industries, en- of abling capitalists to avall themselves of tho magnificent water power and other facilities which this district so abundantly possesses for the successful establishment of important manufacturing enterprises.the \u2018To

reply : GENTLEMEN,\u2014It affords me no ordinary pleseure and pride to receive at your hands this expression of your good will towards the railway enterprise with which I have the honor to way bas had to contend against many and serious obstacles fo its progress to the point it has to-day reached, but looking back upon the past, I cannot regard our struggles as aj- earnest, devoted friends, among whom I am glad to number yourselves and the good people of Huntingdon whom you represent.Mr Hickson's aim has Leen to provide a railway cqual in all respects to any in the province for the people of the Cha- necessary mesus of communication with tho chief marts of commerce, and thru good report and evil report we have S.period stipulated in our charter.The large and growing trade of this district has promiscd a fair measure of pros- petity to the enterprise, and we have looked to you, not I trust and believe without reason, for some small measure of assistance, and your zealous co-operation towards making the railway worthy of the people and of this section of country which it le to serve.The work of construction will be push.completion, which will be accomplished within a very few weeks.It will be roy pleasing duty to convey to Mr Hick- son, the Vice-President of the Company, to whom you owe the ratlway, and to Mr Wainwright, his assistant, to whose ful prosecution,

twice.To obtain this result, therefore, | the grain is taken from the first set of rollers, : and the free flour is removed by passing it overs rapidly revolving wire screen, which also removes the germ of the wheat (which formerly troubled bakers so much) and some more of the bran.Thence it pots to the second set of rollers, which are closer together than the first.It isagain bolted, and passed on to the third set, which are closer ther still, and so on, the flour being removed at each step.In this way different grades of flour, from \u201cstron baker's\u201d to \u201cpastry,\u201d are obtained from the different bolts.There are 6 sets of rollers altogether ; and after the grain has gone thru 5 of these in the manner above described, we find bran and \u201cmiddlings\u201d left.Suppose we follow the bran.It is thrown into a centrifugal bran- dusting machine, which has fine bolting-cloth outside, and a lot of revolving wings, like a churn, going swiftly inside.In this way, all the fine particles of flour adherent to the bran, are beaten out thru the bolting-cloth, and the pure husks of the wheat are passed on.Why the latter should be worth 54 per ton isa mystery to us, yet so it is.The flour so removed from the bran is of the finest quality, and goes, as we shall see, to form a distinct brand.To return to the \u201cmiddlings\u201d or \u201cshorts.\u201d From the bolt of the 5th set of rollers, they are passed to the only stone in the mill, where they are ground in the old method, and then passed thru the 6th and last pair of rollers, which are set very closely together, and differ from the others in being smooth.Theflour so made is bolted again, and being then joined by the flour from the bran-duster, is removed by a separate spout and forms the \u201cpastry\u201d brand.In this way the maximum amount of flour is got out of the wheat, and in better condition than could be done by the old method.A word about the rollers themselves.The are of \u201cchilled\u201d steel, about 3 feet long, and all but the last pair are corrugated.There are 3 in each set, a larger and 2 smaller ones placed horizontally above it.The larger one runs slower than the smaller ones, and in a direction opposite to them, so that the grain is passed somewhat slowly between them.By a simple crank and eccentric movement they can be thrown at once out of contact.When once set properly, they will grind away for a day, on the same kind of wheat, without needing to be touched.They make very little noise.Elevators are so arranged that from the moment the wheat is emptied into the hopper of the smut-mill until the flour comes out into the bag which stands on a pair of scales, you never need to touch it.So numerous are these elevators that it would seem almost impossible to remember where each one leads, and in fact this is one of the hardest things to learn in connection with the process.In large mills, they are all numbered or lettered.Such is an outline of the process which is undoubtedly destined to replace the old method of grinding wheat, except, perhaps, for custom work.This mill can grind 500 bushels per day, and they actually do grind 1,200 bushels per week, and this scarcely supplies the demand for flour, which goes over the whole district.No custom work is done in this mill, as it would not pay to alter the rollers to suit our wheat.Mr Robb has even refused to grind as large a grist a8 200 bushels.In a short time, it is expected the mill will have to be kept going night and day, to meet the demand for flour.ORMSTOWN COUNCIL.THis
