May 26\u2014On the section in the franchise bill giving votes to Indians being reached, Sir John Macdonald moved that the following persons be disqualified from voting : Indians in Manitoba, Keewatin, and the Northwest Territories and Indians on any reservation elsewhere in Canada, who are not in the possession and occupation of separate and distinct tracts of land, and whose improvements on such separate tract are of the value of at least $150.Mr BLAKE\u2014A good many on the Government side had sought to treat this as a matter of sympathy, but sympathy for a man was no sound reason for giving him the franchise.An attempt was made to show that the Opposition in desiring to restrict the vote to enfranchised Indians were lacking in feeling for the Indians generally.He had had & case under his own notice while Minister of Justice of two Indian youths living in Keewatin who had murdered their mother, and yet notwithstanding such a hideous deed, ho had felt sympathy for them.The fact was these poor heathens believed that an aged woman was possessed of cortain supernatural and hateful powers which could be used to the injury of the tribe.It became their duty, as they believed it was the call of their religion, if such a horrible superstition might so be called, that they should kill their mother, and they did it with tears.He (Mr Blake) had felt sympathy for those men.He felt that ho could not order that the white man\u2019s justice be executed upon them.He ordered that every adult membor of the tribe should be visited, the provisions of the law explained to him, and a warning given that on the repetition of such a crime the severest penalty of the law would be laid upon the offender.They could feel for such people, but that would not justify giving them votes.For immemorial generations the Indians had inhabited America, living as nomads and hunters, having their faults and their vicesy their qualities, and their rude civilization.The white men came and gave the Indians some of their vices, but the effort to raise the Indians to the white man's civilization had not been at all nerally successful.It was almost impossible bh ono generation to get the wild strain out of the Indian blood.hite men had sent missionaries and teachers among the Indians, had built schools and churches, and had made efforts to introduce civilized industries and habits among them.If all this had not been successful, as it was declared by the Premier himself that it had not, what would the giving of a vote do more ?It would not elevate the Indian, but would be another element in his degradation.(Cheers) He would not refer again to the clauses of the Indian Act, which he had quoted on a former occasion, showing that the ndisus were not regarded as worthy of even the first rights of a man or a citizen, but such was in effect the declaration of the Act, and while that law remained on the statute book, this house had no right to invest him with the crowning glory of a citizsen\u2014the right to vote.It was in effect telling him, \u201cYou shall not be allowed to deal as you will with that which by courtesy we call your own, You are improvident and unable to manage your own affairs ; you must have a superintendent-general and a deputy superintendent-general, local agents, and instructors, to manage your affairs for you.There is a process recognised by law by which you may gain the right to citizenship, by showing yourself worthy.But even while you are in à state of tutelage and not allowed to manage your own affairs you shall assist us to manage ours\u201d ( .)\" In Ontario there were several Indian reserves, and the proposal was to swamp the white vote in thoso constituencies by giving votes to the Indians.The First Minister, in his reports referred, time and again, to the dependent condition of the Indians ; for instance, sposking of the Indians of Quebec, he mentioned that they had not made much progress in agricultural pursuits although they had abundance of land, of good quality, from which they might obtain ample sustenance, and in order to encou them to do so, wood grain, seod potatoes, and garden seeds were supplied to them.Take the Indian, give him his alott- ment, with shanty, fences, &c, which may be valued at $150, thon when springtime comes, and ho has prepared the ground, and the agent of the superintendent-general has decided that he is entitled to reveivo seed grain, sced pota- tues, and garden seed, let the governmont give these things and give him a vote, which of course be will not exercise without the slightest regard for the superintendent-general.ain, the hon.Premier in his report, speaking of the Indians of New Brunswick, said their condition had improved owing to the fact that the Government had established a practice of giving them sced, instead of giving them money to buy seed, which money the Indians had often applied to other purposes, so that their condition had improved, because the Government had decided to treat them like children, to buy seed for them instead of giving them money, leat they should apply the money to some other purpose.He recollected reading au account of dians who had boilod the seed potatoes, cooked the seed wheat, and killed the oxen for the plow, aud the cows that were to give miik, s0 that even this plan of giving them seed, instead of money, did not always answer the purpose Tn another part of his report, the rime Minister speke of the constant appeals of the Indians at Victoria for assistance as indicating but little advancement towards the condition of self-supporting Indians.That was rather an annoyance to the hon.gentleman at that time, but now that the Indians were to vote, now that he was to become their political father, how rejoiced he would be to learn that they were improvident, that they would have to apply to him for assistance, and the super- intendent-general would be ions.He would not scold him any more, he would take care that his just and reasunable requests for pauper relief were acceded to, and so he would secure his independent vote.Then the superintendent- neral went on to discuss the elevation of the ndian.He declared that this must be accomplished by dealing with the young.But it appeared that the Indians were not onl nomadic themselves but their wandering habits prevented them from sending their children to school, and the remedy suggested by the super- intendent-general was that children should be dissociated from the prejudicial- influences which surrounded themon the reserve.(Cheers.) That was the first condition suggested by tho superintendent-general, and the second was that ho was to be separated from home influences, (Cheors.) The Prime Minister had sent a circular to the Indian agents, askin whether they thought the Indians were in suc a state of advancement that they could carry on a simple system of municipal government.Well, the majority of those agents reported that the Indians wore not fit to carryona simple form of municipal government.That was the conclusion which the Prime Minister arrived at from reading thoso reports.Yot the Prime Minister now proposed to give them the power to govern the entire Dominion, la tho report for the last year it was stated that industrial schools for the highor education of the Indian youth should bo established, and the host and brightest of them trained there.They should be takcon away from the influences of their families, and by such means there was hope that they could be educated so as to be equal to the white artizan or husbandman.This meant that the mature Indians must be left.There was no hope for them, but by a long, slow process a few of the younger Indians, the flower of their tribes, might, after a long and careful training, stand on a par with the white artizan and husbandman.Yet this hill proposed to enfranchise all to whom location tickets werc given and who had $150 worth of improvements on their locations.These reports, given on the responsibility of the First Minister, showedthathisproposition now wasto give votes to those who were not, in the opinion of that gentleman, capable citizens, who could not be citizens in the true sense of the term-men who, not bearing the responsibilities, could mot properly exercise the privileges of citizenship, (Loud cheers.) There was a paase for some time on the conclusion of Mr Blake's speech, while the inembers of the Opposition looked at the First Minister expecting him to rise to reply, but he did not move, neither did any of his followers.THURSDAY.Mr Blake asked: How many claims of Manitoba half-breeds remain unacknowledged by the government for want of proof ?Sir John Maodonald\u2014The report of the department is that there are fifteon which require additional evidence before thoy can be recognised.Mr Blake\u2014How many half-breed claims bave so far beon recognized by the Commission now at wor Sir John Macdonald\u2014The Commissionors bave sp to date reported 140 certificates for scrip for tho Northwest haif-breeds.In response to aquestion by Mr Langelier, Hon Mr Caron donied the trath of the story that the Militia Department bad deducted tho fanersl ox.ponses from the pay due Achille Blais, of the 9th ttalion, who died at Winnipeg.He also denied that volonteers had entered half-broed housos along the Saskatchewan and wrecked them.Mr Blake asked whether the government intends to propose to parliament some incrotse of y to tho volunteers on active service in the orthwest, so that their families may not be do- pendent on private contribations for subsistence during the absence of their bread-winners.Sir John Macdonald said the whole the trestment of the volunteers and their families, together with provision for wounded soldiers and the families of those who had fallen, was undor consideration.Y anfriendly whites, disloyal whites, mon of the uestion of wt They defend themselves, they stand to- papers connected with the rebellion, when 8ir I), cpherson, minister of the Interior, the depart ment which has control of the Indians, said: There are two or three facts that I may state, and which it is rhaps desirable should be known, that ie that (be half-bresds had no grievance whatever in relation to their lands or any othor matter.No half-breed was ever distarbed or threatened with disturbance in the occnpation of his lands, not in ono solitary case.No half-breod delegation came to Ottawa to complain of ili- treatment or disturbance in relation to their lands.No complaint on behalf of hall-breels was ever made on the floor of parlisment.No grievance oxisted, and that will bo mado manifest whon tho papers are brought down.The hou, goutloman rom the Tront division oxpressod tho rogrot that scrip should be givon to tho half-brecds, becauso thoy sell it for leas than its value.That is quito true, and it is very unfortunate, but tho govern.mont became satisfied that nothing would moet tho viow's of the half-breeds in the territorios ox- cept to be settled with precisely on the same torme as the half-bresde in Manitoba were settlod with, and that is what is being done by the Commission.The heads of hall-breed families get each scrip for $160, redeemable in land, the ohil- dren of half-broeds got 240 acres of land.They are settled with on precisely the samo torms as wero the halfbreods of Manitoba, and they are quite satisfied, It is truo that they part too readily with their serip.Thoy are followed, I beliove, by apcouiators who induce thom to sell out as choaply as they can.Thoy ure the victims of those speculators to a largo extent.* There nover was Any reason to approhend an outbroak.Tho hon.gentleman opposite me (Mr Read) had told what was the general impression in the country whero be lives, that there was no appre- honsion of a rising, and when the papers come down that also will be proved.The hon, gentleman from Halifax said that if a commission had boen issued in December last it would probably have prevented the outbreak.| suppose my hon friend is not awaro that the commission was determined by order in-council in January last, and that half-breeds in Prince Albert district wore notified of it on tho 4th of February, aix wooks before there was an outbreak.But it would seem that tbe very kuowledgo that the government had dotermined on settling wilh the half-breeds for the extinguishment ot their interest in tho Indian title\u2014 for that is what it is\u2014it would seem as if people interested in preventing an amieable settlo- mout precipitated the uprising.Who thoso were 1 hope we may discover.I undorstand that Riol's papers havo boen saved aud I hope that some of the correspondence will bring the guilt homo to the guilty parties.1 fear thore will be found among them more than redskios.[ fear that Farmers\u2019 union class, have had a good dea! to do with precipitating this half-brced rebellion.Until Riel arrived in tho country there was no dis- tarbance, nu thromtuncd distardanoce.Riel is an incondiary, and ho had great influonco with tho half.broods .Irom tho momont he arrived In the country ho was endeavoring, no doubt, to excite thom to discontent.ut thore was not the slightest apprehension of that discontent taking any form more serious than words until the outbreak took place.TIE REBELLION.IN last week's paper was given part of the Rev Mr Pitblado's interview with Riel.We now subjuin à few more oxtracts.Mr l\u2019itblado is a Presbyterian and chaplain to the Winnipeg battalion, and accompanied Riel on his way to Ilogina : On being asked, were the priests not friends to you 1 ho replied, \u201cThey were not and thoy wero, They insisted on us being submissive to them.They were against us trying to redress our own griovances.Ever since the doctrine of the infullibility of the Pope was propounded, they havo beon very tyrannical.They did not wish tho people to do anything but the priests do all; if they had been in favor of peace ould have been with them.They were in favor of us fighting for the priests but not for tho people.oy used a double-edged sword, They turned people against them because they usurped civil fanctions ; they turned Protestants against them because they opposed them.Tho priests seek power for themselves, not the are against the Africa.\u201d food of the people.Th rotestants both politically and religiously.They are against me now, not because I robelled I nccesaa ¢ do not rebel \u2014we defend and maiatain the rights which

the field, and had a skirmish ° with a small force under General Strange on Thursday.Apparently it was an unsatisfac tory affair in every sense.General Middleton is now on the ground and an encounter was expected yesterday.This renewal of hostilities will delay the disbandment of the force.THE hope entertained, that Sir John Macdonald would have so modified the section of the franchise bill regarding giving votes to Indians as to make it unobjectionable, has not been realised.His utmost concession is to exclude the redmen of the Northwest from the operation of the bill, but all the Indians of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, whether Pagans or Christians, who occupy houses and lots of the value of at least $150, are to have votes.There isno need to describe those Indians to prove that they are unfit to exercise such a trust.Those who know them best and regard them with the most kindly feelings, who have done something in the past and are willing to do more to raise them in the scale of civilization, are perfectly well aware that the Indians of this province, at least, are unable to intelligently cast a vote.The time, we trust, will come when they can with safety to the country and to their own advantage be entrusted with the ballot, but, to all appearance, that time is yet far distant.That within the past 25 years they have made some slight progress in becoming more self-provident and industrious can be said of a few tribes, but of none can it be affirmed that they show more zeal for the education of their children or display more intelligence in the cultivation of their lands.To pick out a few Indians here and there, men of substance and intelligence, and ask, Is it not unfair to deny these men a voice in the government of the country ?is misleading.In every case such men will be found to be more white than red, and who cling to the tribal relation merely to preserve their claim to a portion of the reserve.The Indians must be judged in the mass and not by exceptional cases, and so judged, their unfitness to vote is apparent.That they are in some respects a simple and harmless people, civil and inoffensive, is no reason to conclude that they are independent-minded or intelligent.According to the talk of certain members on the ministerial aide of the house of commons, children are entitled to votes, for they, as well as the Indians, are innocent and loyal.The negative and amiable qualities which Sir John and his followers exto), are commendable, but they are not those which enable their pos- semsor to cast an intelligent and independent vote.The electors of this district have the advantage, or, looking at it from another standpoint, the disadvantage of being enabled to judge of this matter of giving the Indians votes from personal knowledge.The Caughnawaga tribe at the east end of the district and the St Regis tribe at the west, have made the Indians familiar, and, therefore, the electors of this district are more competent to judge of the fitness af the red men to have votes than Sir John, Mr Thomas White, or Mr Bowell.Knowing the character of these Indians, their habits and modes of life, the verdict of the electors of the district is that it is monstrous to propose to give them votes.Independence of spirit is the first easential in a voter.Ifhe can be bought or influenced the ballot in his hands becomes a menace to the prosperity of the country.Now, is it not notorious beyond all dispute, that the characteristic of the Indians of this section is a beggarly spirit\u2014that they are always looking to the government for food and clothing, and rely on Ottawa doing that for them which they ought to do themselves 7 They aro exempted by law from the burdens and responsibilities which fall op the farmers of Dundee and Chatesugay\u2014 they psy no taxes and perform no municipal work, they cannot be sued, and if injured the vernment and not themselves aceks redrees.are à separate people by law, invested with privileges and exemptions peculiar to themselves, the government managing their pro- perty for them and exercising control over them patrons in the simplest matters of their daily lives.If the Indian stood on the same level as the white, -§f bie had to make his living by bis own exer- \u201ctous, if he was not under the control of Ottawa, #f he could sue and be sued, if his land could be ed or sold for his debts, then we should .say the Bt Regis Indians had an equal right to vote with the Dundee farmer, but so long as the parish dootor to visit his family is deprived In Canada, are we going to make olostors out of men who, in spirit and reality, jeslous are! success than Canada with hors The Apaches will neutralize nn equal number of votes of the sturdy farmers of the county.The effect of.the bill will be to practically disfranchise any municipality having a less number of votes than St Regis At last election Dundee polled 112 votes, Elgire 121, this village 112, Franklin 135.St Regis can swamp the vote of any one of those municipalities, Is this to be?Are farmers who would not receive a dollar they did not earn, who m 6 their own affairs, who educate their childrden, and who take an intolligent interest im public affairs, to be deprived of a voice in the government of the country by men who retain many barbarian usages, who cannot read And are notoriously ignorant on the simplest subjects, who are in tho sight of the law children and in receipt of aid from the public chest ?We do not write thus from any party motive.The Conservative equally with the Liberal has an interest in keeping the franchise from unfit persons, and it is impossible to conceive of any respectable Conservative in our county desiring to see the Indians of St Regis have votes.As a county deeply intercsted in the matter it ought to place on record, even if it has no practical effect, its opposition to this portion of the measure now before parliament.It would not be advisable to leave it in the power of some future official to say that tho county of Hun- tingdon silently assented to enfranchising St Regis, and yet that will be said unless the county speaks out.Jt is not too late for petitions, and they should be gone about at once.Ox Friday a million dollars was voted towards the expenses of the Northwest rebellion, making $1,700,000 already paid out.The probability is that from 5 to 6 millions will be required in all, and yet there is a doubt whether the men who have beon the cause of this enormous waste of money are to be punished.The indirect loss to the Dominion, by tbe injury done to the settlement of the Northwest, Ly the withdrawal of so many thousand young men from their employment, and the derangement of trade, cannot be estimated.A cLERIC whohas all the attributes of a legate, is now on a mission to this province from Rome, and is at present engaged with the dispute regarding the division of the diocese of Three Rivers.Among those who have appeared before him to plead in the matter, we see the names of Judge Polette and Bourgeois, who apparently consider it is not incompatible with their duty to the Queen to recognize the jurisdiction in Her realm of a foreign potentate.In nny case involving the interests of Rome, what dependence could be placed on the decisions of such judges?THE action of the Senate in amending the Scott act by providing for the sale of beer and wines containing not over 12 per cent of alcohol, has given a remarkable stimulus to the movement to either reform or abolish that body.At the Montreal conference the speeches of several clergymen were quite outspoken ia this regard, yet were cheered to the echo.It isto be noted that Senator Trudel voted against the amendment.As the Commons will not concur, the action of the Benate is of no significance beyond indicating its views on prohibition, ED THE state of the cheese market is of the deepest concern to the farmers of this section.From the time that the new make was ready for sale, prices have steadily fallen, until they have reached a point unknown for years.The cause is of a nature that does not give hops of a speedy revival, being a glut in the English market, arising mainly from the wild speculation that sent prices up last July.Dealers in Liverpool had large stocks on hand which they had bought at high prices and to which they held all winter in the hope of being ahle to sell with as little loss as possible to themselves.Had they allowed the cheese to go into cn.sumption during the winter at the rates offering, the market would have been pretty clear before the new cheese came forward ; as it is, they only began to snerifice pt the lsat moment, and the new shipments arrive at Liverpool to find an unusual stock of old on hand.That prices will improve may be expected, for the cheapness of checse now will stimulste its consumption, and at a sufficiently low price the English market will absorb any quantity.Meanwhile prices are ruinously low, and all patrons can do is to hope that the balance between demand and supply may be speedily restored.In times like these quality tells, and cheesemakers should put forth every exertion to turn out nothing under A 1.At an auction sale at Liverpool on the 19th May, there were lots that brought only 20 shillings while others went as high as 40.It lies entirely with the and the makers under which class their cheese will go, and even in a demoralized market like the present a first-class article will bring à remunerative price.At the sale referred to 32 boxes of Alan Grove sold at 38s 6d, 77 at 361, 105 at 33s, 200 at 41s, and 13 at 47s.The date of make of the diferent lots is not given.THE Now Orleans exhibition, which bas not been a

improved th counties of this district, we can nafely say such a charge cannot be substantiated.There have been errors in preparing the lists from neglect or oversight, but never wilfully to our knowledge.The assessors, secretary, snd council would have to act in collusion to falsify a voters\u2019 list.No system more.free from party influence could be devised than is in operation in this

Judge Belanger.The more important was that of No 2 School Municipality of St Anicet who sued Allan Watson for his sharo in building a new schoolhouse, and which he refused to pay on several grounds, the chief being that the school was not erected within the limits of the municipality as constituted at the time the tax was imposed.The Judge, however, did not go into the merits of the case, but sustained the opposition on the ground that theassessment roll was informal, the requirements of section 84 of the Con.Statutes, and of section 13, with sub-sections 2, 3, and 4, and of section 14, with aub-sections 1 and 2, of chap, 22 of the Statutes 40th Vict.not having been complied with.Seers& Laurandeau for Watson; Mr McCormick for the school commissioners.The case was a test one, and will

at the rate of 36.25 per 1001b live weight, making in all 352.60, of which McNaughton paid on account $40, and rofused to pay the balance, the porte of one of the animals proving unfit for food, from being a stag.The judge held that the evidence had proved that McPhee had kept the animal asa boat for 2 years and had ouly altered him a few months before the date of sale, à fact he bad wilfully concealed from McNaughton, who sold the animal to Vaunier, a butcher of Valleyfield, for $35, bat who threw it back on McNaughton's hands on finding, on slaughtering the hog, that it was totally unfit to be eaten.The judge went on to say : Considering that the defect affecting mid pig was a Intent defect in the sonse of our law, inasmuch as, from the evidence in this case, it could pot have been detected or known by the defendant, by inspection or otherwise, unless told by plaintiff; Considering, consequently, that said plaintiff is boxnd in law for sald defect towards the defendant ; And considering that the defendant tendered back said pig in due time and in accordance with the law, sud that the defendant is woll founded in claiming to be reimbursed of the said sum of $35 by the plaintiff, for the aforesaid causes, and to claim that tho said sum of $12.60 duo by de- foudant to plaintiff, be declared more than compensated by said sum of $35, due by plaintiff to defendant as aforesaid; Declares the said sum of $12.60 more than compensated by tho said sum of $35; condomus the plaintiff to take back the bacon of ssid pig, the same to be delivered to him Ly mid defendant at his defendant's domicile; and dis nisses the plaintiff's action in this cause with costs.Mr J.H.Rogers for McPhee; Mr McCormick for McNaughton.THE VILLAGE COUNCIL.THiS council met on Monday evening

cream from the milk, in operation at the Fort Covington cheese factory, under the management of the proprietor, E.O.Forbes.Undoubtedly it is wonderful, and is ahead of any American invention for the purpose for which it is used.The milk is weighed and turned into a large vat, which is connected with the drum wherein the separation takes place by a pipe in which there is a stop-cock to arrange the quantity let in.Of course there is no sceing the process inside of the drum while in operation, but if you will notice the stream of skim milk peuring out of a pipe leading from it, and also step into another room where there is another pipe with & stream of cream issuing therefrom, it will strike you at once that the thing is doing its business in a thorough manner.There was also at work a large square churn, revolving the cream into butter.The cream is allowed to stand 24 hours to ripen before churning.Three sales have been made, so far, at 22 cents.11,000 Ibs of milk is received daily.The skim-milk is run off into à vat on the outside, whorein is placed a pump with a platform, the height of the waggon, and a boy pumps into a pail, the full of which the patron receives for every 20 Ibs of milk delivered, so you hand in your milk, drive around a little, and get your skim-milk home with you.I drank some of 4he milk as it passed from the pipe\u2014I didn't take it out of the vat\u2014and 1 have taken my porridge, in my younger days, with worse tasting fluid.Now- a-days, we don\u2019t want any separation of cream from the milk when we use it for porridge, but we won't object to taking out the milk part.I saw some of the skim-milk of this factory that had stood for a day, and not a particle of \u201cnasty scum\u201d was discernible thereon, Cheese is also to be made at this factory for patrons who prefer cheese to butter.A meeting of the board of the Fort Covington and Massena Railway Cowpany met at the former named place on the 27th ult.Work is fo be commenced

being shy dissatisfaction, that the people had never distrusted the company, and all romises made to them would be carried out.can assure the gentlemen that I did not make up the remarks.My

James Manning, when a doctor was soon in at- \u2018tendance.Miss Fulton at first thought she had escaped without hurt, bub shortly after the accident she began to feel the effects of her injuries.At last accounts both ladies were progressing favorably, , Franklin can now boast of a dentist.On Monday morning Dr Gentles, of the firm of ! Wells & Gentles, Huntingdon, arrived.Scarcely \u2018had: he time time to arrange matters, before he | was called to the chair.So far, he is giving splendid satisfaction.Mrs Arthur Rowe, who for some time past has been under the care of Dr Hebert of St Antoine, apparently not making any progress towards her recovery, her brother, Andrew Hall, student of McGill medical college, insisted upon her being visited by Professor Fenwick of Montreal.On his arrival on Wednesday, May 27th, without any hesitation whatever he pronounced the ailment to be a tumor, and an operation must necessarily take place.With the coolest nerve possible she submitted, and on Friday morning left for Montreal hospital, and on the following day the operation was successfully performed, and up till Monday the patient was doing well, and hopes of her recovery were entertained, but inflammation set in and towards evening she was beyond medical skill.TRES Sr.SACREMENT COUNCIL.Tus council met on Monday ; all the

taken, THE REBELLION, FIGHT WITH BIG BEAR, General Strange, aftor leaving a small detachment at Edmonton, proceeded with his force down the North Saskatchewan to try and find Big Bear, the only Indian chief who still kept the field.Making his headquarters at Fort Pitt, Gen Strange sent scouts out in every direction to find out Big Bear.On tho 27th Captain Steele ro- newed the search.When about ten miles north- wost of the fort they ran across an Indian scout, who attempted to escape, and, on being brought to bay, refosed to surrender.In effecting his capture be was shot and killed.The police scouts followed up his tracks snd discovered a large encampmentof Indians, supposed to ba that of Big Bear, on the summit of à hill.They brought the news into camp at Fort Pitt on the same afternoon.The noxt morning Gen Strange, with 300 men, including detachments of the 65th Battalion, the 92nd Battalion, the Mounted Police, wilh one gun and the Alberta cavalry marched out.\u2018I'he march was through a very difficalt hilly country with frequent coulées and lots of email bush, now well leaved and affording- excellent cover for the enemy.An ambush was feared and the scouts wore kept well out, with the result that at noog the force reached the Indian position without gd- venture, Tho camp was 13 miles north-west of Fort Pitt and 3 miles to the north of tbe Saskatchewan river.Tho Indian position was.weil chosen, being a naturally strong one.The enemy's camp was on the summit of the hill, in front of which they had dug extensive trenches.The only trail by which the Indians could be reached being through a marsh which extended along the foot of the hill, rendering flanking movements impossible.Thero was nothing for it but to face the entrenchments and the 65th wore pnabed forward on the trail.On their approach, before they wero well within range, the Indians opened fire,which was roturned with interest by the Montreal man.The range was too groat for effective work on oither side with small arme, and the cannon with some difficulty was broug t through the marsh to the front and got to work.30 rounds were fired, which seemed to do some execution, The Indians acted with much caution, making uo attempt to advance out of their position, and Gen Strange would not allow a charge to be made, For three and a half hours a steady fire was kept up from both sides, but as the distance was fully 700 yards across the marsh no great loss was inflicted, Our troops had a good cover in the shrubbery that lined the marsh.Ammunition getting short, and not caring to risk a charge with his small force, Gen Strange gave the order to withdraw, which was done in perfect order, the enemy notleaving their entrenchment.The march of 8 miles to river was effected, when the infantry embarked on the scows, which floated down to Fort Pitt.13 men who had been left to guard one of the scows could not be found.Strange\u2019s loss was very slight, only 3 of the 65th being wounded \u2014Marcotte, of No.3 company, was fatally wounded, On arriving at Fort Pitt, Gen Strange at once sent a message to Gen Middleton at Battleford, a distance of 91 miles, telling him he had discovered Big Bear's camp and asking for reinforcements.On Monday morning, {Middleton left on the steamers Alberta, uis and Northwest, with 875 men on Loard and 2 Gat- lings, besides a body of mounted scouts who left to go by land.THE SURRENDER OF POUNDMAKER.Gen Middleton was on the steamer Northwest en route for Battloford when he received the following meesage from Poundmakor : Srr\u2014I am camped with my people in the east ond of Eagle Hills, where I am reached by the news of the surrender of Riel.No letter came with the nows, so I cannot tell how far it may be true.1 send some of my men to you to learn the truth and terms of peace, and hope you will deal kindly with them.I and my people wish you to send us the terms in writing, so that we may be under no misunderstanding, from which so much trouble arises.We have 21 prisoners whom we have tried to treat well in every respect.With greeting.The General handed the following reply to the messenger to take back to his chief : PounpMAKER.\u2014I have utterly defeated the Half-breeds and the Indians, and have made prisoners of Riel and most of his council.I bave wade no terms with them, neither will [ make terms with you.I have men enough to whip youn and your ples or at least drive you away to starve, and willdo so unless you bring in the teams you took, yourself and your councillors to meet me with your arms at Battleford on Tuesday, May 26th, I am glad to hear you treated the prisoners well and have released them.On the morning of the 27th May 150 half breeds entered Battleford from Poundmakerà camp, and, immediately and without hesitation handed over their arms, consisting of 9 rifles and about 2G shotguns.Their arrival created eon- siderable atir in the camp.They were placed in space west of tho barracks enclosed by their w gons.About noon Poundmaker sent à messenger to announce tbat ho was coming to the ca and shortly afterwards Poundmaker with 30 o his council and sub-chiefs with upwards of 2 stand of arms came into camp bringing the ob tured waggon train, the stolen catile and a fond of arms, otalling over 200 stand.The ndont of the Witness gives the foi- lowing account of the interview held between Middieton and the captive cbiet* Co Poundmaker, Thunder OCbild, Lean Man Hreak-throngh-the-Ice, Yellow Mud, Blanket, and other ohiefs of the baud of hostile Indians when brought before Gen Middleton, dealt a deathblow to any romantic ideas concerning the noble red man, The great Cree chiof Poundmaker is aim- ply à sbabby-looking man of the ordinary Indian type.When questioned by (ion Middleton as to his reasons for rising and joining Riel's rebellion, Poundmaker, with characteristio cunning, affected to believe that the question referred simply to his recent movement eastward in reply to Riel's summons, and,he answered in quite little speech, the effect of which was that he and his band were pot going to join Riel when they came east, but were only on their wy to Little Devil's Lake, § small lake about 60 milos gouth-oast of Battl \u2018the -Cut Knifo Oreck, Poundmaker declared emphati- \u201cdeclared that he himself was

Middleton demanded whether be ss & chief behalf of the Government.Riel will be tried had no authority.Poundmaker replied, \u201cI am not chief.\u201d On being questioned, Poundmaker said be knew nothing of Big Bear's present where abouts, bet bad sent ranners to find him and noti- {y him of bis (Poundmaker\u2019s) surrender.Lean Man, the chief of the Stoneys, was then questioned by the General as to the facts of the murder of Payne, the faria instructor on the reserve of his band.He denied having any per sonal! koowlodge of the murder; he bad on! beard of its baving been committed.The chiefs all appear to disclaim any responsibility for the acts of the mon of their tribe.Another Indian spoke up and onquired of the General how they were to got their living if they gave up all their firearms, with which they procured game, and were to remain on their re serv os, The General addressed tbe whole gathering of the chiefs.He said that the Indians must hereafter stop going to the houses of the white people to beg for food and clothing.When they had done so formerly, they had been well and generously treated by the whites, and how had the repaid this kindness?When they (the Indians bad imagined that the whites were in difficolty, thoy had with base ingratitude pillaged their bouses, murdered the people and kept the whole cosatry in an uproar.They thought they bad more warriors and better fighters than tho whites, and that they could safely shoot down the whites from ambush.They had learned their mistake and bad been taught a lesson.The whites had proved, on the contrary, that they could fight them on their own ground.If, he said, the In- | disns had neglected to surrender, he would have taken a large force and would have hunted the whole tribe of them till all wero killed.The General then informed chiefs Poundmaker, Breaking.through-the-Ice, Yellow Mud, Blanket and Lean Man that they must remain in the Fort as his risoners to await orders from the Governmont at ttawa, He also told them that bo must have \u2018before Stipendiary i Regina, b one-half English Ottawa Cor.Gazette.ITEMS.Lethbridge, N.W.T., June 1.\u2014A report was received last

it.But you might send delegates to meet our friends and discuss the conditions of organization of a new province.Let the police fight its own battles; with God's help we will make them yield.We will keep them as hostages until we shall have obtained an acceptable treaty with Canada.If you will join us, announcing that the police has forced you to do so, | and if you will leave it to fight its own battles, you will decide the Canadian Government to treat with us.And by so acting we may celebrate in peace and happiness the 24th of May.Otherwise, ostilities wil continue, and we will be obliged to

despatoh from Fort Assiniboine announcing the capture yestorday of (Gabriel Du- mont, the miming lieutenant of Louis Riel, and a companion by the name of Michaet Dumais.The capture was made by Sergt.Perkins and a private on the Milk River trail, some 20 or 30 miles north of the fort.Gen Terry at once telegraphed to Washington for instrnotions, when the Secretary of War directed that orders be issued to Lieut.- Col Coppinger, in command at Fort Assiniboine, that Dumont, and his companion be released from arrest.No demand was made to our government that Damont should be extradited for

police were, as Gen Middleton termed them, \u201cGophers.\u201d Mr Mackenzie does not speak disparagingly of the police as a body.He says that Major Dan and Inspector White, Fraser and the majority of the rank and file of the force are good men jand were most anxious to go out and fight the rebels.He is sure they would, if properly of- ficered, make a record of which every Canadian might feel proud.The prospects of the settlers are very bad.They have lost everything and it is now too late to put in crops, Almost certain starvation stares them in the face, unless the government sends them relief.They do not ask for charity, but hope the government will provide some public work at which the can earn bread for their families.The condition of many is already distressing, and immediate reliefis urgently required.FUNERAL OF LIEUT.FITCH.Altho he had visited his relatives at Hem.mingford and Huntingdon, few in this county became acquainted with the gallant youth who fell at Batoche.Owing, however, to his father, Charles Fitch (brother of Mrs Barrett of this village and cousin of Julius Scriver, M.P.), being an old resident of the county, and widely known and respected, a more than ordinary interest has been awakened by his sad fate.An excellent portrait of him, which has appeared in Harper's Weekly, preserves the strong Scriver family resemblance which characterizes his father.The body was brought to Toronto for burial, and was in an excellent state of preservation, the only noticeable change being a darkening of the complexioh, due in great pert to exposure to the weather before his death, and his face in death wore the same calm, tranquil appearance familiar to his friends during his lifetime.The foueral took Jace on the 27th ult.On the coffin was the following inscription : Lieut.William Charles Fitch, No.3 Co, Royal Grenadiers, Born at Toronto 10th September, 1858; Killed at Batoche, N.W.T., May 12th, 1885, while leading his company in a charge against the rebels.The coffin was p upon à gun cerriage drawn by six black herses of the Toronto Field Battery, and was covered with a Union Jack, and on it were laid the sword and busby worn by the gallant young officer in the fatal charge.The cavaleade must have been fally a mile in length, and the sight as it moved off was most impressive, the bands with muflled drums playing & slow march, and the men with bowed heads and reversed arms silently moving along to the last restiog-place of their devessed officer and comrade.On arriving at the cemetery gate the firing party was drawn up in two ranks facing inwards, and resting on their arms reversed, and the funeral party slowly filed between them to the grave, where they were drawn up in a circle sarrounding it.The fumeral service of the English Church was read by Rev A.H.Baldwin, rector of All Saints\u2019, the assemblage | standing with uncovered beads and The Rev Septimus J in the {lowing address :\u2014 | Every funeral is asolemn

consigning to the dust the remains of & «young hero, and are here to mark our appreciation of that heroic courage which was ready to make all sacrifices and incur all dangers in rea- dering loyal service.This youth who has passed away and left his bome and parents and his country.And we are here to-day to show by our presence that we bave hearts capable of responding to such heroic sontiments, and not willing that such a sacrifice should be made on our bebalf without our signifying our appreciation it.Our brother died for you and me because he did work required to be done in the interests of order and government and ia our land.These large throngs are gath together largely for the pu of manifesting that sympathy which pervades the community on this occasion.Vain, indeed, is anything we can do or say to heal the wounds inflicted on those doar friends, bereav- od as they have been, but still they can sce that this evont has appealed 10 many hearts.Every mother who bas a sob at the front, or sister who has a brother engaged in his country\u2019s defence, knows that it might havo been their loved one who had fallen, Tbis is what touches tho hoarts ef so many, and we see that all classos of the community are represented.Our brothor was loved by all who knew him, not only by his fellow-offi- cers, but by those who served under him, and thoso are the kind of tidings which soon get circulated, and it is thus there is a sympathy and admiration running through the community from the highest to tho lowest.Wo would fain comfort our friends, but wo trust that this event, marked as it has been to-day, will convey a faint idea of tho loving sympathy, respect, and honor with which we desire to clothe our departed brother's momory.These floral offerings, aro, this funeral ceremony, with which every heart must fell impressod, are elemonts of comfort, but the crowning consolation is that we are consigning to tho tomb a christian soldier, and feol that thero is a greater power, a more authoritative voice saying to Dim above, \u201cWell done, good and faithful servant\u201d; that we are laying bim down in the sure and cortain hope\u2014not meroly in the words of the service, bat something we boliave in from our own knowlodgo\u2014in the sure and certain hope of a resurrection to everlasting life, and be will receive a crown of glory which immortal hands shall weave, an unfading crown of glory which the Lord shall give to him who has faithfully servod and loved Îlim hero bolow.Our brother ia \u201cnot lost, but gone before\u201d; let us go on like Christian soldiors to moet bim in the realms above.At the conclusion of Rev Mr Jones\u2019 address the hymn \u201cNearer my God to Thee\u201d was sung, all joining ia it, after which throe volleys wero fired over tho grave, the ranks re-formed, and the.funeral party turned their faces cityward, leaving their deceased friend and comrade to sleep in a hero's grave.NEWS BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.Sixty cases of

The girl's eyes turned instinctively towards the mountains which towered above the hamlet, and rested on the heavy pine grove at its face, but Tom went on withoutnoticing the look : \u2018Two men wore caught in a slide going through Marcellus Pass last week, and carried down into the Gulch.\u2019 Jessie shuddered, \u2018Father went through that Pass, sho mid.\u2018I hope he won't come back that way.\u2019 \u2018Why, that's the very road to take now,\u2019 said Tom, cheerfully.\u2018Lightning doesn\u2019t strike twice in the same place.Bob Riukins' cabin was picked up by a slide the other day, and carried down to the Forks.\u2019 \u2018Was Bob killed 7 asked Jessie.\u2018No,\u2019 said Tom ; \u2018that's the funny part of it.Bob dug himself out and crawled into town two days later, before any one had missed the cabin.What do you think of that for a snow- story, mother 7 he asked, turning to & woman whohad just entered the room.She wasa pretty woman, scarvely yet in middle life, with soft, dark eyes, and a languid e of mauner brought from some sunnier fad than this wild mountain region.\u2018Oh, 1 think it's all danger and trouble, danger and trouble,\u2019 she sighed, wearily.\u2018Why will people try to live in this fearful country 7 \u2018Mother,\u2019 said Tom, laying his brown hand careasingly on her shoulder, \u2018you need cheerin up.I've s good mind to to Glendare, an see if J can't get you some letters.\u2019 \u2018No, no, Tom,\u2019 she said, tenderly.\u2018Don't ex- yourself for the sake of bringiog mail Itsa foarfal risk to cross the mountain now.\u2018Well,\u2019 persisted the young man, \u2018one might as well be buried in- the snow as to he shut u here, and not see so much as a ne , Tm no tenderfoot, and I want to try my luck.I should only be a few days, and Jessie can take care of things \u2018Of course I can?cried the girl.\u2018Haven't my commission as chief-man we do if it doesn\u2019t stop letter.Ishall de little uncertain at times.\u2019 He said no more about the trip to Glendare, w aside his Baished slight repairs.+ length be rose, laying I promised the boys I'd come over to work.the boarding hows to-nigbt, mother: he said, o@ Iva only for à \u2018and it's time I was gettin Sheselly, and went out.to be another storm!

My little boys, both in one bed * Jessie turned away with a bursting heart, and noticed a man being carried by two women.It waa a miner who had been out of doors when the slide came, and had been hurled, with broken limbs, upon the threshold of a neighbor's house.Now a man limping on snow- shoos came towards her.It was the grocer.He bad been rheumatic all winter.\u2018Has the boarding-house gone ?\" asked Jessie.\u2018Yes\u2019 said the man in a hoarse voice.\u2018And the ore-house sud the shaft-house, and tho mine has closed in on the night shift.Where's Tom ?\u2018He was at the boarding-house, sobbed the irl.& The mangroaned.\u2018Then there's no help for us.There isn't a sound man left in the light flashed suddenly in Jessie's camp A yee.Her face wa shade whiter, and her lips stopped quivering.\u2018How far is it to the Annie Laurie 7 sho asked.\u201cTen miles,\u201d said the man, \u2018but I couldn't make it to save my life\u2019 I will; said Jessie.The man stared at her.\u2018When morning comes,\u2019 sho said, and turned away.There was nothing now that she could do, nothing but to go back to the cottage and the mother who was waiting for her boy.The two who had descended that narrow path made their way back in silence, and Jossie \u201cwent quietly into the parlor.The mother started as she entered.\u2018Wh child, she said, \u2018I thought you were in be Then, startled by her daughter's look, she exclaimed, \u2018What is it, Jessie?Has anything happened ¥' \u2018Mother, said the girl, trying to steady her voice, \u2018a slide has come down the Gray Eagle.\u2019 A look of wild appeal rose in the mother\u2019s face.She threw out ber arms, crying, \u2018Has Tom come ?The girl's voice broke.\u2018Not yet, mother, she said, and buried her face in her hands.A cry of anguish burst from the mother\u2019s lips.\u2018But he will come, Jessie, ho will, Don't you know he said \u2018twas only for a little while ?That was the very last thing he said, and Tom always keeps hia word, Jessie, he always kept his word.The night wore away at last, and when the first grey light of morning stole in at the window, Jessie, kneeling at her mother's side, said, \u2018Mother, I must go to Annie Laurie camp to-day.There are men there who would help us if they knew, and there's nobody else to take the word The mother raised her head, \u2018Do you want to leave me, too ?\u2019 she asked, feebly.\u2018I should come back again.It.would only be a little while, aod'\u2014\u2014 A bitter cry interrupted the words, \u2018That's just what Tom said, Jessie, and he'll never come again.He would have kept his word, I know y 7 he would, in some way, if he were alive.\u2019 She ahah noted playfully from her fathers last presed her hands to her heart and moaned, \u2018O \u2018ona ?\u201cMother,\u201d said Jessie,and all the energy of her brave heart struggled in her voies, \u2018I must go.are men shut up in the mine who will starve unless help comes.There are men and women and children buried in the snow.They are not all dead.Some of them are alive and wondering at this minute whether any help will come.I'm not afraid.\u2019 Her voice trembled for an instant.\u2018Don't you know, last night Tom got his snow-shoes ready for a trip to-day 1 God will take care of me.I'm going to leave it oll with Him.It's my part, aud I must do t\u2019 The mother said no more.Her spirit was loft at the too much broken for resistance, and half an As length closk on the mantel struck hour later Jessie was ready.A bag of lunch nine.Jemie was touched by the look [snd a bottle of milk hung at her Tom's on he mother\u2019s face, going to ber sf she [stall was in her band, his mow-shoes were stroked her brown haie the eyelids dr on her feet.There wasone long embrace at with a restful look.Then she stepped softly the door, but no good-by.out upon the veranda.So Jemie started.For one instant as she The night was dark, the snow was falling.|taroed the bend of the mountain, she looked At the foot of Gray Eagle a light gl back ab th lonely cottage and the broken camp, in the boarding-house window, and a solitary then she pressed steadily on.candle in the valley, wat a long white ray, Ten miles to the north lay the camp of the into the darkness.wind bad risen, and the the mountain side.listened intently.Annie Laurie, and across this waste of snow and rook the girl must take, ber course, with no path to follow, and nothing but her pocket- com and the knowled ned in & sumtmer tri Rs uide her on her na t her stout heart did not quail.Now she sow, herself descen ad pod pd om ra rn du, - pushed it open, she saw her mother lying still way again.And yet with all her | day was waning when she reached {ag ber siaff in the yielding mass, she cheek- od herself UE level sou he ;

The hours sped by, and when the light stole ; in again at the eastern window, no eyes were: raised to meet it.Jessie's were closed in a sleep that was deep and long, and moter, overcome with watching, slumbered too.But below them, in the cruel mounds of snow, were the brave rescuers, and the work went on.The weariest arm still did its part, and the men who had been released from the mine fainting an hour before, joined in the work with a strength intensified by the thought of their comrades\u2019 peril and their own escape.One by one, as the workers wrought in silence, well-known forms were lifted from their snow.graves.Some came back into the daylight with tho old familiar look upon their faces, but others wore a strange, now look, the older seal of death, Some were parted who had stood together when the snow came down; but the children nestled in one cot still lay together in each other's arms, peaceful and fair as when, without a thought of fear, they closed their oyes\u2014to dream a sweeter dream than mortals know.There were wounded omnes and some who had passed the dread experience unhurt, But there was one among the missing whom the workers sought with anxious faces and with voices strangely tender when his name went round.At last they found him, in a portion of the boarding-house which had been carried beyond the rest of the wreck, held fast between fallen timber and the snow heaped high above.There was a faint cry as the form was partially uncovered.The worker paused.\u2018Is that you, Tom?he asked in a busky voloe.\u2018Yes, said a weak voice; \u2018can you get me out of here ?\u2019 A shout rang out across the snow.\u2018We will f they answered, and they did.Two weeks later the long blockade was broken, and Superintendent Burns was in his place again.He came suddenly into the parlor one evening, where Tom sat with bis arm in à aling, and the mother pale but happy sat by his side, listening to one of Jessie's songs.Ho grasped Tom's loft hand with a fervent \u2018Thank God, it is only a broken arm, my boy but for a minute he held Jessie in his arms without a word.Presently, when the surpriseof his coming was over, and the incidents of the disaster had been recounted, he took & folded paper from his pocket.\u2018Here's a telegram for you, Jessie, he sa \u2018Forme cried the girl, taking it mechanically.- Le; shall I tell you what it says ?\u2019 he asked, smiling.\u2018The New York company havo voted you fifty shares of stock in the Grey Eagle, in appreciation of what you did for the camp, The paper dropped from Jessie's fingers to the floor.She could not speak, but Tom sprang from his chair, trying to wave his right arm, splints and all.\u2018Hurrah! he cried.\u2018You've struck it lucky, Jessie! There was a general laugh at this, though something like a sob mingled with it.\u2018By the way, continued Tom, \u2018what do you suppose a couple of the fellows were disputing about to- \u2019 a no one ventured a guess, Tom proceeded totell.\u2018Well, they n't agree aa to which should call their new claim \u2018Jessie Burns;

that the company and their servants complied with all the requirements of the law, and used all due and necessary precautions, more especially to prevent the issue of sparks or cinders from their locomotives, and were not responsible for any damage that might have occurred.It is established by numerous witnesses that while the locomotive was seen approaching from the west on the morning in question, the smokestack was emitting a thick black smoke, intermixed with sparks; a north wind provailed, which blew this smoke right on to Meegan's barn, and within à few minutes afterwards the flames were discovered in the upper part of the interior of the barn, which was distant from the railway about 140 feet.On the other hand, it was attempted to be shown that steam was shut off on approaching the station and opposite Meegan\u2019s barn and that ; that even if the steam bad not been shut off, sparks could not be carried alive for such a distance from a coal burning engine, which the one in question was, and which in this respect is different and less dangerous than & wood bur- nor.Notwithstanding the force of this evidence, the judge of the Superior Court attached greater weight to that of the witnesses who actually saw the smoke and sparks bearing on the barn, aud contended that he was warranted in the inforence that the fire had been commnnuicated to Meegan's barn by the sparks from the com- y's engine.We do not feel justified in saying that this view was erroneous.in, it is suggested that it appears from the evidence that Meegan was open to the charge of negligence from the fact that a considerable opening was left over his barn door, which unnecessarily ex- the interior to be entered by the sparks if driven thither by the wind, But itis explained that it is customary to leave such openings for the Jutpose of ventilation, and & proprietor is surely sirly entitled to follow his own fanoy in the form ofhis building, There isa further proof which is of more importance, viz, that the company had adopted every precaution by known appliances to prevent the escape of sparks, using the most approved appliances devised for that purpose, such as ired by law.They were consequently not guilty of fault, and were not liable.This raises a very important question, and probably by the rule of the English law applicable to the case the company might be held excused, but I believe our rule has alw been different.Our courts bave continually held that the party exercizing a dangerous oo- cupation is responsible to his neighbors for the a may bo caused to them by the has.ardous nature of such occupation.ere was the celebrated caso of Molson and St Louis, where sparks were communicated from the funnel of a steamboat and theowner was held liable.It is not a case of trespass on the road, where it would be incumbenton the Wesaseer to prove fault.Wo conclude that the judgment of the Superior Court holding the company liable for the loss must be confirmed, Victoria, B.C, May 28\u2014Much excitement again till Monday ;
