Catholics had been lost to the Catholic faith in America, and denounced severely State aided emigration.Michael Davitt presided at a meeting held tonight for the purpose of raising funds to erect [3 «e \u201c a monument to the men sent to penal servitude for connection with the Fenian movement of 1867.A considerable sum was subscribed.Belfast, October 3.\u2014An immense Conservative campaign meeting was held here last evening, at which Sir 8.Northcote was the principal speaker.After the meeting the crowd formed in procession and marched thru the principal streets singing loyal airs.While.passing the offices of the Liberal newspapers, showers of stones were thrown from the ranks, smashing the windows and doing other damage.Sir 8.Northcote opened the Conservative Club here to-day.In reply to an\u2019 address of welcome he denounced the disastrous policy of the so-called national party, and asked the Conservatives of Ireland to unite against the would- be destroyers of their religion and liberties.In the course of his speech Sir Stafford Northcote protested against the audacity of the Parnell- ites in calling themselves the National Party.The Conservatives are the true Nationalists, and the assumption of the League that it is national in character, is simply absurd.When Sir Stafford had finished his speech he received à perfect ovation from the crowd, the demonstration lasting several minutes, Cork, Sept.27.\u2014The police have found 500 cartridges for Snider rifles, 6 bayonets and a revolver, concealed in a yard in Peacock Lane.The revolver has been identified as one stolen from a factory during the Fenian outbreak in 1866.The seizure of arms and ammunition was made thru the aid of an informer.Many townships in the counties of Clare and Limerick have been officially proclaimed as being in a disturbed state and requiring addi- 0 THE COTTON COMBINATION.A REPRESENTATIVE of the Witness waited upon Mr Morrice, the honorary Secre of the Canada Cotton Manufacturers\u2019 Association, and learned the following with regard to the combination that has been formed :\u2014 I hear that the combination of the cotton manufacturers has been consummated ?Yes, representatives of the mills have signed the agreement, and it goes into effect on day the Sth.ave all the mills entered the combination 1 All but one, a small one, a Coaticook mill, which is going to run altogether on one class of goods which are to be used by the Magog print- ng company.As this will not come into competition with others at all, its exclusion does not matter.Were the articles of agreement as published before, accepted by all the mills ?.Yes, all were accepted.The mills will close down 30 per cent.of all their machinery on Monday next, so as to limit the production to à proper amount.hen they will not close down 2 days every week ?Well, that is optional, any mill can do either as ite circumstances may demand.How are goods to be dated 1 All goods are to be sold strictly at three months from the first day of the month following that on which they are bought.The guaranteo system is to be dono entirely away.oods aro sold at tho price ruling on the day of sale.Is the article in regard to minimum price of goods to go into force too ?Yes ; that article also has been accopted in the agreement by the different mills, but of course as there are many different qualities of each class of goods there will be a wide range of prices.: ill prices bo advanced on Monday ?Nothing has been settled yet as to any advance in prices, but there will be an advance in afew days.In 2 or 3 days I intend to take Points.action in that matter.You can say that the 1 No 3 Company, 42 Hochelaga mills are oversold for gray cotton 2 v4 .« 45 8|at the present time.3 ve \u20ac ae Is that general among the mills ?=\u201c I don\u2019t know ; but I do know that there are other mills which are oversold.Are the goods sold in anticipation of an advance in the price owing to the combination ?No ; I don't think so, for many of the goods are sold on what we call \u2018value They are to be paid for at the price ruling when paid for if the price has advanced.Is not that the same thing as the guarantee system ?No ; you see these were sold before the combination was formed.b peut will the advance on grays probably © Yéannot say yet, but it will probmbly be moderate at first.Yet I do not know ; you seo the frost has injured the cotton crop very greatly and we aro now paying 1} cents por Ib more for raw cotton than we were when the representatives of the mills were here agreeing to the preliminaries of the combination.Does not advancing the price check the consumption ?Of course it does to some oxtent, but only to a very moderate extent.All that manufactur- ors want to do is to put up prices just to a point below that at which American manufacturers could compete with them.You think the agreement will hold ?Yes, I think it will be an entire success.It is for a year from date, and will be renewed, 1 have no doubt, from year to year.THE MALONE FAIR.The Palladium reports the receipts $6,000 and the expenses 84,600.With the surplus a new

Frenchmen from rance to work in the factory at Hochelags, promising them an increase of 25 per cent in their wages.The men claim that they only receive a week whereas in France thoy received $12 and they quit work.One was tried the other day on a charge of leaving his employer, sent \"to gaol for one month, and fined $20.There are five others to be tried.The Ottawa lumbermen who have commenced to hire hands for the coming season's operations have opened a wages list with an average reduction of $4 per month all round.For bush hands wages run from $15 to $22 with a pros of a fhrther reduction

in both langu are proached every Sabbath.Of late while the rench discourse was being delivered the English-speaking members of the congregation retired from the sacred edifice, and vice versa.The authorities deprecated on several occasions this irreverenco, but the desired effect was not produced.and recently they decided to effectual- check thee, of the disturbers and ordered the sexton to lock the doors and prevent anyone leaving until the close of the service.The appearance of the reverend gentlemen who was to preach in English was the signal for a retreat for the French, who filled up tho aisles and made a move for the closed portals.There they encountered the sexton, who, carrying out his instructions, refused them exit.In the general crush that followed two persons fainted and had to be carried out.One indignant member attempted to forco the mexton, but the interference of a more peaceful friend prevented a scene.The Basilica authorities have given orders that in future the doors shall be locked after Mass has begun and not opened until the conclusion of the service.Some five yoars , & robbery was committed on board the steamer Beauharnois, about four thousand dollars being mysteriously stolen.Up till a few days ago, nothing was heard of tho matter, and no clue was obtained to the whereabouts of the thiof.But on Tuesday last a French-speaking man, from Lawrence, Massachusetts, stated to some of the officers of the Company that a man living in that town in considerable style, had bragged of the commission of the robbery.The Company is now in possession of a clue that will probably lead to the detection of the offender.\u2014Star.The SS.Erl King, which sailed from Montreal on Friday for London, has on board à pair of buffaloes intended for breeding in

September 1st.Both Caffrey and McDowell lived in a tenement on King street, the former occupying a shop on the ground floor, being a shoemaker by trade, and the latter dwelling with his wife on the third flat above.On the day of the murder McDowell had been indulging in drink, and shortly.after six o'clock in the evening, when lying on his bed, was roused by Caffrey, and at his solicitation went down to the shop, where ho was promised a drink by Caffrey, Fifteen'or twenty \u2018minutes after Mrs McDowell heard her husband calling for assistance, and hastened down to find him on the first landing with a terrible gash in the abdomen, McDowell died next day, and Caffrey, on heing interrogated, said a third party had done the deed, and described how the stabbing was done.He was arrested on suspicion, but the murdered man himself, tho rational enough to thuroly understand his position, declined to make any statement which would reveal the identity of his murderer, declaring he was not going to squeal now and get any one into worse trouble than he was in, tho he repeatedly said Caffrey knew all about it.The jury returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter.His Lordship sentenced Caffrey to ten years\u2019 imprisonment in the penitentiary.Pittsburg, October 3.\u2014The magnificent buildings of Che Pittsburg Exposition, on the north bank of the Alleghany, are totally

attention tothe adjacent property, many residences on South avenue being in flames, The repeated alarms soon aroused almost the entire populace of the two cities and from 75,000 to 100,000 witnessed

railway now being built thru this District took place on Monday afternoon.At half-past 12 the train from Montreal was sighted, and steamed slowly up to the platform.It consisted of locomotive 412, a baggage car, and 4 passenger cars.The track was spanned by an arch of evergreens, having on the East side the words \u201c Welcome to Huntingdon,\" and on the other \u201c Success to Enterprise.\u201d On the station waved several flags and the platform was trimmed with evergreens.As the train came in, the Huntingdon Band struck up a lively air and a cheer was raised, The visitors were mainly French- Canadians from between Brosseaus and Ste Isidore.At Howick, Brysons, and Ormstown highly respectable delegations got on.On Mr Foster's alighting, Mr John Hunter presented him, on behalf of Mr Hickson, with the following address : To Joseph Llickson, Esq., Vice President of the M.& 8.J.Railway: DEAR Sie,\u2014It is with no small degree of ploa- sure that we, on behalf of the citizens of Hunting- don who have supported the Montreal & Champlain Janction Railway, welcome your roprosentative to-day to the village of Huntingdon, and oxtend to you our hoarty congratulations upon the com- letion of your enterprise, This is indeed a day ong to be remembered in the annals of Honting- dou\u2014a day whon the last link of the chain is forged which binds the commercial motropolis more closely to us, and which ere long will unite in bonds of common interest the two countries which lie sido by side, and botween whom the warmest feelings of friendship and ocstoem exist.We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without oxpressing our feelings of satisfaction in relation to the entorprise so happily consummated to-day.Despite weeks of unfavorable weather in the early part of the Summer, and in tho face of many difficulties and discouragomonts, the operations have been carried on with a vigor and energy which has given clear proof of your integrity in redeeming every pledgo given to the Government, and in fulfilling to the lottor every promise you made to the peoplo of Iluntingdon, that you would build the lino during the lifotime of the charter.All along tho line, so far, a'gon- eral opinion has been expressed by the public of complete satisfaction with the regularity of the service, the reasonableness of the rates, and the uniform courtesy of the officials of the M.& C.J.RIL, and we are confident a like opinion will obtain in Huntingdon and vicinity.While conveying our congratulations to you, wo at the same time desire to acknowledge most sincerely tho high value we sot upon the boon which your line will undoubtedly give to the inhabitants of this district, in giving thom direot, speedy and comfortable access to Montreal, their chief mart.The period of long and irksome journeys by stage is now of the past, and a great and much felt drawback to the progress of this somewhat isolated part of the province now coases to exist.Our welcome to-day is spontaneous and hearty; the people of Iluntingdon feel honored in receiving you to-day, and those friends who accompany you, as their guests, and we trust this first train is bat a harbinger of that daily service which will frequently bring you to our village, and which will inevitably be, what you intend it to be, a great public benefit.With sentiments of personal esteem, and with the hope that you may enjoy your visit, wo again extend to you a hearty welcome.Signed in bebalf of the Reception Committee, R.M.CAMPBELL.Mr Faster read a reply as follows : GENTLEMEN,\u2014We have come here to-day upon your invitation to join with you in your rejoicings and festivities, and to accept your hospitality, and as we stand here with the bright sun shining io the clear sky above us, flags waving around us, with the ringing of bells, the firing of guns and your enthusiastic cheers sounding in our ears, no wonder that our hearts all turn with joy and pride to those two lines of shining steel which we have been layiag link by link over your land, till today the iron horse bas brought us over them, even to your very doors.Truly this is a great day for Huntingdon, and it is well that we rejoice and be glad togother, and we do most heartily congratulate you all upon the manifest success of your part of the demonstration.You have presented me with an address to boar to Mr Hickson, and it is fitting you should do so.It is a just tribute to that gentleman to whom you are chiefly indebted for this railway which yoa rejoice over to-day, and it will give me great pleasure to present it to Mr Hickson from you.And allow me to su, t to those who bave hitherto turned a \u201ccold shoulder\u201d to our railway project, or who may even have put stones in the way to obstruct it, that the day and hour of your history as village and a community and the progress of this railway enterprise has come when past differences and opposite opinions should be laid aside and forgoiten, and that we should from this day work together for each other's good and prosperity.S.W.FosTsr, Managing Director.À move was now made from the platform, when the visitors and others formed in procession and, led

party came from Fort Covi , accompanied by several from Dundes.Shots from an anvil in MrGam- 1bie\u2019s shop were fired during the day.THE MERTING.Boon after 2 o'clock the procession reformed at Moir's Hotel, and returned to the station, in front of Ww platform of whith seats had been ided, which were quickly filled.There was quite à créwd of people, mostly viflagers sad who came me wit the

most im nt oconsion since ! took up my abode in ft.I have thought i\u20ac might be interesting to you for me to re count the memesable events since I came.The first was the erection of the first thurch, St Andrew's, which was opened in 1884, and of] which the Rev Montgomery Walker was the 51 years in | first minister, and who soon ered à churches were built soon after, and I am convinced nothing has conduced so much to take from me what makes them no richer.better off than if we bad beaten the Grand to the prosperity of Huntingdon aa its religious I appeal to you Christian women, I

was its Treasurer, but if not long it was going to unite unishment or been sent to the Penitentiary.your celebration of the greatest day that ever | with bands of steel the two countries.Tho he next important event was Huntingdon's becoming a garrison-town, which it did in 1838, and continued for several years, the object being to protect the country from the rebels and those who sympathized with them.The next event, but in which I took no part, was the forming of Huntingdon into a separate municipality, which took place in 1847.The next prominent event, and in which I took an active part, was the founding of the Academy, which was in 1851, and which has flourished ever since, furnishing many prominent members of the medical profession, the bar and the pulpit, and which has never been more flourishing than at the present time.The next event, and which may be compared to that of to-day, was the opening of the Plank Road.The completion of the Beauharnois canal suggested to us that we might avail ourselves of its advantages by having a road to the lake, and so we built the Plank Road, which did relieve us from our isolated condition for a time, but it soon got bad, and we had to resort to the long and wearisome road by Valleyfield to get to the city.This railway is the greatest event of all I have mentioned, for it gives us regular communication with the whole world.Its advantages in facilitating our communications are too obvious for remark, but I may say something about its influence in the cheapening of articles of daily use.Thus, there is a mineral substance called salt, for which the farmers! have been in the custom of paying $1.25 per\u2019 bag and use each from 4 to 5 bags a year.By | the railway they will get it at 75 cents a bag, | making a saving of at least $2 a year to each farmer.Take the whole line to Fort Coving- ton, count the number of farmers along it, and you will find they will make a saving on salt alone of at least 86,000 a year, representing | a capital of $100,000, so that the railway oni this one item is giving the farmers a bonus of $100,000.Then, again, there is the article of fuel.Many are beginning to use coal, which has cost, laid down in Huntingdon, $11 per ton.The railway will furnish it at, say, $8.50, which will entail an immense saving.A gentleman in connection with the Methodist church told me he had bought 6 tons of coal for it last winter at Chateaugay, which cost delivered 865.The same can be done now at $50, so that the railway is giving a bonus to the Hunt- ingdon Methodist church of $15 a year to hel to buy its coal.The advantages of the railway in furthering social intercourse with Montreal will be very great, and also in making the exportation of produce easier for the farmers, who can apply the time saved in teaming away what they had to sell to ditching, fencing, and plowing.They will be able by it to find a market for much that they have been unable to sell.Thus they have had a great surplus of hay of late, some farmers having as much as 3 crops on hand, being unable to sell it, which they will now.There is even a demand for hay from Great Britain, to which it can be profitably exported.I will not detain you onger, but give, in the form of a toast, 3.W.Foster, in connection with the Montreal & Champlain Junction Railway.Mr FosrEr\u2014If I were to tell you that this is the happiest and proudest moment 9} my life, I'would only be saying what is tfle.1 have attended many railway meetings in Hun- tingdon during the past 3 years, and at them I have spent many happy hours and hours that were the reverse.At those meetings I was happy when I met men who appreciated our enterprise and who thereby\u201d showed they were true to their own interests and those of their country, and I was the reverse when I met with those who opposed us, but, whatever the meeting, I always went away happy in the knowledge that I left more friends in Hunting- don than when I came.(Applause) Those who looked at me with distrust at first, because they preferred other roads, became my friends, with the exception of a few who continued their resistance to disgraceful lengths, Those who came over to our side, on looking at our railway to-day, completed to their doors, have the strongest evidence that they acted wisely when they ranged themselves on our side, for there, in these cars, is the proof of our fidelity.(Applause) The happiest hour of my life was when I met on the fatform of the cars, as they came on at the different stations, old settlers along the route, pioneers, who took advantage of the first train to come up and meet old and valued friends whom they otherwise would not have been able to otherwise see.It is occurrences like that that make me proud and happy.Now that the conflict is happily over, I would tender to you this advice\u2014that we should forget the pat and whatever was unpleasant, that we let those things be past and gone, and, like many other disagreeable incidents that happen in this wicked world, lie in oblivion.The cars have come, bringing old friends to Join in your rejoicings, and when I look at the 055 on your housetops, and see the 2 standards floating together, side by side, I feel proud that our railway has been the cause of bringing, you and your American neighbors together, Those who our read use they preferred another fought well, but so did we, and I blame those of our opponents alone who keep up and continue their resistance in disgracefal orms.Jobn Hunter, that noble man of your Council, performed an act of which he may well be proud when he met me and presented thru me an address to Joseph Hickson\u2014an act which he may well regard as long as he lives as the provdest and happiest of his life, and when he 1s dead and gone his children and his children's children will rise and bless his memory for that one act of his to-day.(Applause) The Com- ny will never forget our obligations to our riends who have fought so well for us, and I now thank them for their services.They now see in that train of cars that they confided in true men, who have carried out their pledges to you.Let the train run morning and evenin to Montreal, and, as it soon will, to the Uni Bates, and all differences of fpolin wil soon ve passed away, and you w a community, prood.of yourselves and of anil.way that is a otedit to your country.I have asked no favor at your hand, and whoever tells otherwise tells you what is false.My Te- on with you has been railway, and to-day I have given you evidence of what I have done ~~given you a railway whitly other and richer you have failedrss do.(Applaues.) t : benefit you good occurred to you or ever will, and I take the opportunity to convey my thanks to the farmers \u2018 all along our line for the generous and confiding manner in which they have treated us asa railway company in the matter of right-of-way and in other respects, and I shall be round in future years to hear their testimony that all I promised has been accomplished.The train that has come to-day came in compliment to our friends East of you along the line, but a train will be p at the disposal of the friends of the road here to take them to Montreal and back on any day they may fix upon.It may be askéd, Why not place the cars at command of all, to which I say, those who bave opposed us can have a train at their own ex- pense\u2014 (applause) \u2014and if the gallant few want any special favor in connection with that train, let them apply to me and I will do everything in my power to make them happy.(Laughter.) We do not ask those who have opposed us to join, because we do not like to be refused.I am very much obliged to you for this opportunity to speak, and to assure you all that the railway will be run for all time in your interests.To show how much it is going to ple, I may tell you I have been told to-day by a gentleman that he knows of farmers in this immediate vicinity who have 300 tons of hay for sale, and there is a gentleman here from Fort Covington who has orders to buy and ship 500 tons from Huntingdon, I could talk to you for 3 hours, describing the great advantages of this railway, but I need not, for you will realize its benefits as time rolls on.The friends in Fort Covington will soon extend to you the same invitation you have done to them to-day, for the road will in a few weeks be opened to there, and in the near future, it will be extended beyond there until it is placed in direct connection with the American railway system, and that, too, within 12 months, (Applause) The railway, from this out, will be your friend,and let us see who will do most to support a road that is not only for our advantage but designed to promote the prosperity of the whole community.(Applause).The CHAIRMAN proposed \u201cThe Clergy,\u201d coupled with the name of the Rev Mr Izockhart of Ormstown.Rev Mr LOCKHART, referring to the remark of the Chairman that no one had ever been sent to the Penitentiary from Huntingdon, commented upon it as a remarkable fact, which was due to the clergy, to whom also they were indebted for their wives.He dwelt on his pleasure at being present to see the realization of their hopes and spoke of the cold, long drives on the stage as a thing of the past.There had been a great deal of prejudice against this road, which he, along with the Rev J.B.Muir, had combatted, they having taken a stand in its favor.His experience at Lacolle had satisfied him as to the excellent management of the Grand Trunk, and on a recent visit he had enquired specially as to the general sentiment among the farmers with regard to it, and one of whom, who had dealings with the Company from the very first construction of the line, assured him they bad dealt most honorably by the farmers in every way,and that they would not for anything be without it.The speaker told how, he was told, on his daughter's requiring to go to Montreal, that it would be necessary to be ready by 2 o'clock in the morning to catch the stage on its way from Huntingdon to Ste Martine, and how Mrs Lockhart stayed up so that they might not sleep in.At 2 o'clock he was punctually on the spot with his daughter, but the stage had passed, a great disappointment, for it was necessary his daughter should be at her school, and they had to undergo the same ordeal of getting up the following night.In regard to the farmers, he was safe in saying, from what he knew, that in 2 years their prejudice against the Grand Trunk would be gone and they would be thankful to that Company for the way in which it had acted.Mr Foster had carried out everything he had promised, and everything he had said had come true.He remembered his (Mr Foster's) saying a certain Company had no means to build a railway, and that they had found out to be the case.Had the clergy not taken up the subject and explained it quietly to their people they might not have got the road, and de cle had interfered believing it would be a blessing to their people.Some of the clergy had not, but he had honestly taken his stand in its favor from the first.A student from Ontario visiting the District had been surprised at the prejudice which existed against the Grand Trunk, for in Ontario that Company was preferred to all others by the farmers for its good fences and |} gates, its honorable dealings and reasonable rates.The CHAIRMAN proposed Dr Gillis and the people of Fort Covington.Dr GILLIS referred to the peculiar fact that, tho he lived within 18 miles of them, he was a comparative stranger in Huntingdon, which was due to the difficulties that had existed heretofore in their modes of communication.He was nt that day partly as a representative of the people on the United States\u2019 side.For the last 30 years they had been trying to get a railre .orhen the road from Ogos.urg e Champlain was projected, the had endeavored to get the road ron by their town instead of thru the hilly region of Malone, but the energy and push of the people of that place euchred them: Daring the.past 5 years he had travelled more than a thousand miles to try and get a railroad.He had repeatedly visited Montreal.Ho had interviewed necal \u2014 (aughter) \u2014 Armstrong \u2014 (renewed laughter)\u2014and Bradley Barlow, but he had never thought to ge and see Mr Hickson and Judge Foster.If he had, he would have accomplished something.He had come to the conclusion that he had been fighting their best friends, for they have accomplished what we have been so long trying to get.His position reminded him of that of a delegate to a political convention at Chicago, who related how, during the war of secession, he had fought on the side of the South, but he had been whip- pod, and he was not so big a fool as not to now when he was whipped.He (Dr Gillis) had fought the Grand Trunk and been beaten and be was no greater fool than that delegate.And just as\u201d the South was now richer and better than it had been before the war, so it men Those who speak otherwise of my character tey would be in our case, for we were going to be divided by an imaginary line, they were the same people in race, speech, and religion, and ought to be more intimate with one another than they had been, and will be by means of this rond, which would bring them within half an hour's journey of each other.Besides its material advantages, the railway was a great educational institution.They were students thers that\u2019 day, and would reap great profit in future from the visits eminent men would be enabled to pay them from Montreal.There had been divisions at Fort Covington among them with regard to the Grand Trunk, but they had ceased, for those who differed were so few that they had ceased to notice them, and he might say they were now a unit in favor of it.This road will not end at Fort Covington, but be extended until it places us in connection with the United States railway system.While the people of Huntingdon deserve credit for their exertions to get a railroad, yet they could not have succseded alone.For this road we are indebted to Joseph Hickson and Judge Foster, and we expect, in a few weeks, to extend to you the same invitation as \u2018you have done to us : to assist in celebrating the opening of the road to Fort Covington, which will be the happiest day in my life, By birth a Canadian, he represented there the Highland Scotch blood, and could assure the audience that his love for Canada was next to that for his adopted country.The CHAIRMAN : I will now give the people of Howick, coupled with the name of Mr Geb- bie, After waiting for some time for Mr Gebbie, who was temporarily absent, his son THOMAS GEBBIE, jnr., was called upon to respond in his stead.He said the people of Howick, during their experience of the 8 months they had had the railway, had realized the great benefits that flowed from it.Before it came, the farmers had to haul their produce to Beauharnois to sell, but now they had habitants living within 2 or 3 miles of Beauharnois coming to Howick to dispose of their grain.For having a railway we are indebted to Mr Hickson and Judge Foster.He was the first man who met Mr Foster on his first visit to Howick, and who then assured him, if they would work together with his Company, a railway would be built.He had never found that a single word Judge Foster had said had not come true.Mr Hickson had furnished the money, but the work had been done by Judge Foster.Colonel BrossEAU, of Laprairie, was called on to respond on behalf of the Eastern end of the road, and spoke of the speedy trip the train had made from his homo to Huntingdon that day.They were indebted to Mr Hickson and Judge Foster for the road, and he was certain they would never be forgotten by us or our and-children.He thanked the people of untingdon for their hospitality.The CHAIRMAN gave The people of Dundee, coupled with Mr Peter Gardiner.r GARDINER, after expressing the pleasure it gave him to be present, spoke of the efforts in the past to get a railway.They had gone, one time, in procession from Fort Covington to Durham, where there was a great explosion of gas, and it ended there, for they could find no company to build them a railway.Some years after that, they had voted bonuses all the way down from Ogdensburg, Dundee giving $16,000 without a dissenting voice, and Hunt- ingdon, he believed, the same, yet without result.The true sentiment and feeling of the people of Huntingdon county was then railway, and, despite any prejudice that existed, it was still the same.He spoke of the advantages to farmers brought by the railway, and contrasted his going with his father to Montreal in a cart with cheese, the horse walking every step of the road, with the facilities they were about to realize.Agriculture had made great progress since then, and with their dairy factory system the labor of the household had been so completely changed that young women were not now afraid to marry a farmer because of the slavish work.The fact was, that farmers were getting to be the upper crust of society.The Grand Trunk was not extortionate in their rates and could compete with water carriage.He d with what Dr Gillis had said regarding the railway being an educational institution and also with what had been said relative to its promoting social intercourse.He had friends all the way down to Montreal, yet had been unable to see many of them owing to the difficulty and time lost in driving.Some whom he had not seen since his old courting days he would now be enabled to visit.A y could now pay a visit anywhere along the line and be back the same day.The advantages of the enterprise that had given us this road, we would all enjoy.The CHAIRMAN proposed three cheers for Colonel McEachern.Colonel McEACHERN, C.M.G.\u2014It afforda me the greatest pleasure to take part on such an occasion as this.You, Mr Chairman, said you had seen many improvements, and truly added, that this is the greatest of all.They are the true friends of progress who helped this road, and not those who opposed it.And it will be well if I tell you how I came to change sides, for no man at one time opposed the M.& C.J.RR.more strongly than did, and I did so chiefly because those around me were o posed to it\u2014the old story of following the multitude to do evil.We had that concern the South Shore, and the lickapittle Great Eastern fooling round for a few years, ending in their leaving us in themud.On their failure, I felt that we had been fooled too long by a certain clique, and that it was high time that I should think for myself Being an independent man, bound to nobody, I determined I should go and see into this thing for myself.I came up and found all there was of the South Shore was a little bit of grading running past Somerville's and when I went to Montreal, the first man I met in the offices of the Grand Trunk was the managing-director of the Great Eastern, a circumstance which I regarded as exceeding] suspicious.I asked for an interview with Ÿ Wainwright, who perfectly satisfied me as to their intentions.I did not like to leave, however, without seeing the big bug himself, and as I had heard he was a Scotchman, I sent in word that another Scotchman wanted to see him, and I was at once admitted and had a talk with him, \u201cNow,\u201d says I, \u201c Mr Hickson, what sort of & road are you going to give us I \u201cColonel,\u201d says he, \u201clook here, we wil ge you one of the best roads that was ever built, if you will only throw your influence with us.\u201d On coming home, I spoke to my parishioners (of course not parishioners in the sense of you ministers) told them what I bad learned, and they told me to throw my influence on the side of the M.& C.J.and they would back me up, and they have nobly kept their promise despite the efforts of those who tried to break me down and kick me.I endorse all that has been said with regard to Judge Foster.My wife believes God never created a nobler man than him.1 for myself will not say so much, for I naturally think there is a better man, but she says no.I don\u2019t know what she will say when she hears of the conduct of the man she admires so much, for, that day, at our station, where there was a crowd of the most beautiful ladies, dressed in the most fashionable style, in their silks and satins and with their parasols, ready to step on, Judge Foster had told them there was no room on the cars for them.Mr Foster\u2014I do not like to have my gallantry questioned.The ladies were refused admission because there was no room, and because they would have a chance on another day.It would not have been pleasant for the ladies to have mixed with the gentlemen who filled the train coming here to-day.Col.MCEACHERN\u2014In conclusion, J beg to congratulate you on what has happened to-day.Instead of dragging over the roads in the stage, and being away from home two or three days, you will be able to go to town in the morning, do your business there, and come back the same night to sleep with yemr wives\u2014those of you who have got them.The next celebration will be on the opening of the road to Fort Coving- ton.Forty years ago I used to know the peo- le of that town well, for I went there to do a ittle bit of smuggling, and I am sure they are still the same noble-hearted people, and 1 shall be proud to aceept of their invitation.CHAIRMAN\u2014I have now to propose \u201cThe Press,\u201d coupled with the name of Mr Campbell.Mr CAMPBELL regretted the absence of Mr Thomas White, who had been expected to be present, so that it devolved upon him to respond on behalf of the Press.He might be asked what relation was there between the Press and a train of cars.Both were engines: great powers in communities.It had been said that the railway was an educating influence, so also was the Press, Whatever misdfiderstandings in the past had arisen, it was from lack of a proper knowledge of facts, which it was the duty of the Press to give.The farmer had been congratulated on this road as a means of utting money in his pocket, but it would Ponefit all classes, with the exception of we poor country editors.The railway placing Huntingdon within 2 hours\u2019 travel of Montreal, would enable the wealthy proprietors of the great dailies of that city to crowd out the country papers.All arguments in the past against this road become now a myth;in its realization, and to-day is a special pleasure to us who have worked for it.He begged to return his sincere thanks for the Press, which, as a rule, always worked for the best interests of the people, and against wrong of every kind.Dr McLAREN was called upon to speak on behalf of Ormstown.He referred to their efforts in the past to get a railway, how all their exertions ended without result, ang in their despair were cheered by reports and; tale, grams that proved baseless as a vision, Their feeling had been analagous to that of the man who after living 6 months on rabbits wrote : Rabbits hot and rabbits cold, Rabbits young and rabbits old, Rabbits tondor, rabbits tough, Farewell to all, I have had enough.So we bade farewell to reports of which we had enough, and got a certainty when we met Mr Foster, who has fulfilled every promise he had made.We will do well to grapple him to our souls with hooks of steel, for ve bas been proved to us to be a friend indeed.As regards their experience in Ormstown sinco they had got tho railway, it had been favorable in every way, except that they were disposed now to go to Montreal oftener than they used to do, if that was, indeed, a drawback.The CHAIRMAN proposed Mr George Mc- Clenaghan and the Grain Trade of Howick.Mr McCLENAGHAN'S remarks were largely lost owing to the noise made by some people moving about on the platform, He praised Huntingdon for voting the bonus, and thought more might have been given.In Mr Foster the District had met a true friend.On speaking with an acquaintance about the possibilit of obtaining a railway, his friend said, Get Mr Foster interested in your case, and he will be sure to get you one.The remark had proved correct.He thanked the committee for their invitation to him and hoped to meet them again.Mr Foster : The Canadians who came up in the train desire that one of their number should be allowed to express their sentiments, Mr GEnvais of St Constant was called upon, but, not responding, Dr Prevost came forward and spoke for several minutes in French, describing what the railway had done for his section, extolling Mr Foster, and thanking the people of Huntingdon for the entertainment they had given them.CHAIRMAN \u2014We have now gone thru our program, and will give place to a presentation that is to be made.P P R.M.CAMPBELL, Editor of the Advocate, holding a case with à gold watch and chain in his hand, stepped forward, and addressing the Rev J.B.Muir, said in effect: The pleasing duty devolves on me of presenting to you this watch and chain.The watch bears this inscription : Presented by a number of Friends and well-wishers to the on th Rev.J.B.Mums, M.A, n the occasion of the opening of the M.& 0.J.Railway to Huntingdon,

assure you I do so with much pleasure ; a pleasure which is enhanced by the fact that it is given solely by residents of this District.Whatever I have done to get you a railway, was from no selfish motives on my part, but solely to promote your interests.It is not due to me that you have got a railroad, but I had an interview with Mr Hickson which led to others and so on to the completion of the road.In my interviews with Mr Hickson he assured me the Company would build the road within the lifetime of its charter, and I became convinced that our only hope of ever getting a road was that projected by the M.& C.J.That view has been sustained and confirmed by that train standing there.It is to Joseph Hickson and not to me that your thanks are due for getting a railway.The circumstance that Mr Foster, not allowed to contribute to the watch, adds something to go along with it, is proof to me that he knows and is convinced I did not labor for this read fram any selfish object.It was alike evident to him and myself, that if this District was ever to get a railway, wo must apply to the company he represents.I labored for it unselfishly, having no personal, social, or political object to gain, no axe to grind, and havin, alone the good of a people I love in view, an secure them a railway without respect to political party, nationality or class, or Protestant or Catholic.I receive these tokens in the spirit in which they are given, and will now make my final railroad speech.Huntingdon is no longer isolated, but is now in connection with Montreal.I regarded that the first necessity of any railway we should get was to place us in direct communication with the commercial metropolis of the Dominion.The second, tho subsidiary to the first, that it should connect us with the American system of railways, which this road, in a very short time, no doubt, will also do, and when it will become in reality a Trunk line, giving us direct communication both with the East and West.We have heard to-day some pretty things from Dr Gillis about the American people, and how he loves his adopted country more than that of his birth, but I am a Scotchman to the backbone, and I Jove Scotland better than any other part of the world ; I, however, also love England and Ireland, and last, tho not least, the United States, whose people, I trust, may continue to rise and become still more great and flourishing.It is not needed that, for us to live in amity, they should abandon the Stars and Stripes, nor we the flag that has braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze, but that each should work out their own destiny, inciting one another to greater emulation in the path of progress, of which this railway is a part.No longer will I have to drag my weary way over roads poulticed in mud one-half the year and blocked with snow the other\u2014roads wretched beyond comparison, exhausting, fatiguing, ill- temper-provoking roads\u2014all has come to a close by the glorious era we inaugurate to-day.To adapt the language of the poet, Now is the winter of road discontent made glorious summer by these cars.Henceforth Huntingdon will have regular trains to Montreal, and from Montreal to Huntingdon, and I congratulate you all on the fact, rich and poor, married and single.And I have just this to say, before the young ladies invite those they wish to escort them on that trip to Montreal which Mr Foster has promised, let them come and see me.It was said of a Roman Emperor that he expressed a wish that the City of Rome had only one head so that he might cut it oft at a blow.In quite another sense, I wish you all had one hand, so that I might shake it and congratulate you on obtaining a railway, something you had sought in vain for 25 years.In obtaining it I will not say I have done much, nor am I going to say I have done little.In what 1 did do, 1 rose above all local, personal, or political feeling, and sought to obtain a great public benefit for & people for whom I have always cherished a sincere respect.In attaining my object, I do not look at it as a personal victory over those who differed from me, but as a triumph for the District in the road of progress.I am happy and glad the train has come, and with it I hope there is also a close to all unkind feelings, and that whatever has been unpleasant in the past will be forgotten, The railway has come and it is ours to use it as a great public convenience, and it will be our experience that we will realize its benefits more and more as the years roll over our heads.A vote of thanks, proposed by \u2018Mr Foster, to the Chairman, closed the proceedings, which had lasted 2} hours.At 6 o'clock the visitors ot on the train, together with the Cornet and, which had played at

concerning the post-office building here, and the accommodation provided for those having a large amount of correspondence thru the mails.The building is altogether too small and totally inadequate to the amount of business done, and the crush in the building, immediately after the arrival of the mails, renders it impossible for people to receive their letters promptly.To remedy this state of affairs a more commodious building is necessary ; in the meantime, until such can.be procured, railings around the delivery wickets would be acceptable improvements and give people some hopes of being waited upon in something like their turn.As it now is, the strongest prevail and the weakest have to wait.The new residence of Mr Boyer, notary, is about completed.It is built of stone and will cost about $6,000, and when finished will be the handsomest private residence in the place.A new office has been erected on the ferry wharf for the accommodation of that boat.The Baptist community of this place have felt for sÿme time back that there were enough families ip the place to warrant them in forming a congregation, and accordingly invited the Rev Mr McEwen, of Cornwall, Ont., to conduct the first services ; but he being unable to attend, the Rev Mr Higgins took his place.Three meetings were held in the Model School on Sunday, and all were well attended, there being nearly 100 present at the afternoon service.Those interested feel much encouraged at the success of their first meeting and hope soon to be established permanently as a congregation.À railing has been placed along the side of the street opposite the Presbyterian church.This was a much-needed improvement and pe destrians in that locality are not now mo liable to get an impromptu bath, by stepping off the edge of the footpath into the ditch, which they were very apt to do before on a dark night.A lamp opposite the church and a couple more on the road crossing the dam, would add much to the comfort of the people travelling that way after nightfall ; also 2 or 3 posts to which to moor the barges while unloading, they being at present, for the want of them, fastened to the fence at the edge of the sidewalk.The ropes and chains, stretching as they do right across the road and footpath, are very apt to trip both horses and people, and some serious accident may awaken the proper authorities to a sense of their duty.HEMMINGFORD.Fine weather -has- prevailed hereabouts for nearly a week past.The effect of the lon continuance of comparatively dry weather an of the unseasonably severe frosts of last week, has been greatly to injure the pastures and the after grass in the meadows.There has been, in consequence, & great falling off in the flow of milk from cows that get nothing but what they can find in the fields.Most of the far- mers, howe in this section, are feeding their cows, to ter or less extent.Mr Roberts has recently made bargain with Mr Boden of Montreal, for the pro- uct of his cheese factory for the months of September and October ; price 11}c.This will enable Mr Roberts to pay his patrons for those onths, a little more than $1 per 100ths, for their milk.The factory, notwithstanding the material falling off in the flow of milk, is still receiving nearly 6,000ibs.per day.Mr Roberts\u2019 patrons are, as they have every reason to be, well satisfied with the results of the season's operations.Under the admirable management of Mr Thomas Quinn and his assistants, the product of cheese has not only been large in proportion ta the quantity of milk used, but the quality has been uniformly of such a character as to bring the highest market price.e pulpit of the Presbyterian church here was filled, last Sunday, by the Rev Mr Muir of Huntingdon, Both services were attended by 11

Come about the Hankow business, I suppose ?It's a rum job, isn't it?What the police call a \u2018regular put-up job Can't find a trace either of the murderers or tho stuff, which was half notes and half Syceo.Haven't even got a suspicion, so I expect you've got your work cut out for you.Then the police out there are such fools, and I don\u2019t think our people coull have been much better.Anyhow, I wish you good luck ; you've shown yourself more than once as good as a detective ; I suppose you've brought one with you ?\u201d \u2018Not I; what's the good of a London detective in China?Besides, I like to go to work about these things in my own way, without being bothered by anyhody else's ideas and notions.Too many cooks spoil the broth, and in a case like this ono head's better than two.But look here, I want a boy; none of your rascals that rob you and cheek you, and get out of the way when you're wanted, but a good, honest, sober, industrious fellow, who doesn\u2019t whimper at being taken a hundred miles from home, and who doesn\u2019t mind being sworn at now and then.Jack, as an old China hand, knew that Singapore boys were the best as a rule; \u2018I don\u2019t mind what I pay him, so long as he\u2019s a good one.\u2019 he manager called in the comprador\u2014that is, the head of the native department of the bank ; a man necessarily of some standing and of good education.Now, Singapore compradors pride themselves on being very different from their brethren in China, inasmuch as they are more Europeanised, and, having attended Eurasian schools, have learnt to apeak, not the childish-sounding \u2018pidgin\u2019 of Hong Kong and Shanghai, but the English of Johnson and Macaulay\u2014very much more Johnsonian and Macaulayan, in fact, than that spoken by average Englishmen.\u2018Comprador,\u2019 said the manager, \u2018Mr Williamson wants a good boy to go to Hankow with him.Do you know anyone who you think would suit him ?\u2018I will retire, sir,\u2019 replied the grave functionary, \u2018and maturely consider your question\u2019 In an hour or so he returned; \u2018I dare to imagine, sir, that I have succeeded in discovering the type of individual you require.His appellation is Ah Moon ; he enjoys a very good character, is, in fact, a man of some position, who is willing to act in the capacity of boy for a nominal consideration.He does not speak perhaps so well as you could wish, but then he has not had the advantages of a Singapore education ; but that is his misfortune, sir, and scarcely his fault\u201d \u2018Show him in, Com- prador,\u2019 said Jack ; and Mr Ah Moon was introduced.He was a slim, oily-looking man of thirty or thereabouts, with a serene Buddha- like expression of face, which was marred only by the mark of a fearful wound which ascended his right cheek, ond gave him rather a sinister \\appearance when he laughed.He was spot- Hessty clean, and looked altogether a very promising retainer.\u2018You are willing to go as far as Hankow and back ?asked Jack.\u2018Yes, sir) replied Ah Moon in a respectful tone.\u2018What wages do you want { \u2018Twelve dollars a month can do, sir, said the boy.\u2018Moderate enough, anyhow,\u2019 whispered Jack ; \u2018if it wasn\u2019t for that villainous scar, he might pass for a mandarin; and aloud he added, \u2018Very well; that piecy English steamer sil at midnight.Can be y © Can secure, sir,\u2019 replied Ah Moon, and, with an obeisance, retired.When Jack Williamson returned on board that night, he found his pyjamahs neatly laid out in his berth ; clean white clothes ready for the next day, his slippers\u2014everything, in fact that he should want.\u201cThat's a good beginning, anyway, he thought; if he only goes on in this style, he'll do; but the wort of these is thas, as a rule, they don't go on.Ah Moon's residence was somewhere forward ; but, by some method of his own, he learnt always to be in the way when wanted.He was terribly seasick on the voyage to Hong Kong; but he was none the less serviceable, and performed his duties manfully, with a face as nearly white as 8 yellow face could be, and the tears of sup] agony streaming down his cheeks, Jack told him to go and lie down ; but he would not, At Hong Kong he went ashore with Jack, and waited at table in such a manner as to excite the envy of the local man- who offered there and then to take him Jack's hands ab increfsed wages, and give his own boy in exchange; but Jack, when he bad found a jewel, knowhow to take care of it, snd seriously thought of bringing him back to England with him to aét in the of a certain Jane, whose chief ilections were for ing everything that eame into her hands, and for all that was said to ber; in feet, he to conceive quite an affection for Ah Moon, and declared that his only shortcoming was his delusion with regard Lo à certain white who haunted bim.pt A er to an a one à American ri y of the luxarious river steamers ui | he mighty Tang-te to Haakow.oC he Carer ae as 2 The murder and the robbery were still the talk of the little place, and the wildest specu.| lations were rife as to whither the authors with their booty had escaped\u2014speculations none the less wild on account of the great facilities afforded for concealment in such a \u2018terra in- cognita.\u2019 From what Jack gathered from the agent, half the amount stolen had been in the {bank's own notes, and half in Sycee silver.Now sovereigns, or even dollars, are comparatively handy coins to cart away in quantities\u2014 the latter, of course, less so than the former; but the fact that some forty thousand dollars\u2019 value of the unwieldy silver \u2018hoofs,\u2019 called Syces, had been abstracted and successfully hidden away, seemed to prove that several men must have been engaged in the enterprise, The watchman who had been on duty during the night in question, and who had been lying in that most unenviable of domiciles, a Chinese gual, ever since, know nothing.He was on uty from eight o'clock in the evening until six o'clock the next morning, it being his business !to perambulate the ontire \u2018compound\u2019 every half-hour, clattering together two pieces of flat wood as a token of his watchfulness.He would not swear that he had not taken a snooze once, but his check clock, which he was obliged to move at every round, showed that at any rate he had not missed a half-hour.When asked as to what he had been doing previous to goin on duty, he said that he had slept as usua) during the day, after which he had taken his \u2018chow\u2019 of rice, fish, and a small measure of wine, not at his own house, but at a public restaurant.Did he fcel sleepy at all during the night ?\u2014 Not that he remembered.The comprador lived in rooms over the treasury by himself, and the bank building was the last house in the foreign concession, next to the native town, and about fifty yards from the river; so that it was evident that if the plunder had not been taken to a junk waiting in the river, it had been carried away into the native town, amidst the mages of which it would soon be concealed.The next question was, how the robbers could have obtained the treasury keys; for the agent, after business hours, checked the contents of the treasury himself, locked it up, and carried the keys away to his own bungalow on the bund This bungalow was not far from the bank building, and the agent lived there alone, his boy and his boy's wife, who acted as house coolie and cook, living in the servants\u2019 quarters behind.Suspicion naturally fell upon the woman, as being the person most intimately acquainted with the ins and outs of the house; but she satisfacto:ily proved that she had been ill in bed during the whole of the day preceding tho night of the murder and robbery, whilst her husband, the agent's boy, who had been in his service for twelve years, had been so affected by the occurrence, and had exerted himself so incessantly in endeavoring to discover some clue, that suspicion had never fallen on him for a moment.Jack was leaning over the verandah, smoking a cigar, late one night, previous to turning into bed, and wondering how he was to go to work about the mystery, for he was unwilling, not only for the bank's sake, but for his reputation as a zealous and sagacious officer, to return home without having effected something, when his ear caught the sound of voices engaged in a low but vigorous conflict either on the premises or in its immediate neighborhood.In this climate of pure, clear air, and almost unbroken silence, the voice, altho it be bgt & whisper, rings out with astcnishing
