43 PHUNNY CROSSES THE HERRING POND.Ox the advice of medicos and friends T was induced to take a trip across the Atlantic to Great Britain.My system had become like unto some governments, under misrule so long that reorganization had become absolutely necessary or there would be a collapse, and to save the wreck and have it run a while longer if possible I thought best to try the experiment of the salt-water trip that has brought so many from misery to life.T will not say at present how it has affected me, as I intend to give it time to work, or not to work, a miracle in my case.I never can be cured by faith.I am asked, among other questions, \u201cHow did you enjoy the trip ?\u201d I will answer that question by asking the questioner, If he or she could have much enjoyment if their bands and legs were deprived of nearly all their usefulness and the stomach so weak that it could not digest the food the appetite craved 1 Despite the difficulties and infirmities I labored under, I forgot them at times, and enjoyed many a sight that was strange and picturesque, I left home on the 9th of July, on the early train for Montreal.I did not have such an agonizing time parting with my better half as a poor fellow from Ottawa had, according to his description, as he related it to a number of us one evening at the mess table.Poor man, he had to tear himself away at last.I am getting ahead of my story.OF course your readers are all well enough acquaimted with tho country along the railway and with the city of Montreal, therefore all I will say is that it is a wonder to me where the farmers (7) below Ste Martine get hay to feed their stock during the winter, for the hay-fields don't look as if they would produce enough to make & goose's nest to the acre, and as for pasture, the cattle must incorporate some of the real estate with the few spears of grass to know they had anything in their mouths, The ocattle\u2019s bones are something like mine, they must get sore lying on the bard ground.+ ,Ç Arrived in \u201cMontreal, 1 weut to the Allan Steamship office and purchased a return ticket in the intermediate, as they call it, but on board the vessel they call it but an improved steerage, for there is as widb a gulf between the intermediate aud the saloon passengers as there is between the saloon and steerage.For my part, that did not interfere with my nerves.If I had known as much as I did afterwards, and 1 only mention this to, sssist any other greenhorn, I would have eaved,about $4 by purchasing s ticket to \u2018carry .me to Glasgow, which would have also been good to Liverpool, but my ticket only said Livérpool, so F had to pay my own way from there to Glasgow.As my ticket only entitled me.to & trip from Quebec, I had .to find my way thero tho best I could, and as there were three routes, the boat, South Shore railway, and the North Shore, I came to the conclusion to go by the latter, that far-famod railway I had heard so much about and read so much about.The train started at 3 in the afternoon and I was thus able to see a great part of the country it passed through before dark, So at the time set on the 10th July, I took my seat in the train at Hocheldga, where they have a good depot parallel to Notre Dame street, but to get to the cars you have to go down quite a flight of steps.We were soon whizsing along, and I must say it is the smoothest road to ride over that I have ever experienced, One can sit and read or write without any difficulty.The country it passes through generally is very fine level land, and the hay and grain crop looked excellent.There is considerable waste land slong the railway near and around La Assomption.It got dark within 40 miles of Quebec, 0 I could not see how the land lay.Tt appeared ,as if à good deal of rain had fallen, as the furrows were full of water, From the style of the farming, buildings, &e.,: the inbabitants must: be all, French.They don\u2019t seem to: believe much in leave that for the churches ee gifs He ta .t you can see popping up hither aud thither wherever the eye can ecan.Take it in fhe evening, when it is so dark that you can only sce white objects, the whitewashed house look as if you were passing strings of clothes hung out to dry.Many of the Luildings are whitewashed, roof aud all.Thy have not commenced to build wire fences in this section ; all straight cedar or ash fences.Most of the villages are some littlo distance from the railway, and a few are far enough to have a branch railway connecting them.The principal place we stopped at was Three Rivers.We called at some 30 stations, and yet passed a number.There was one impossibility I met with, and that was to connect any of the names of the call that the brakesman gave utterance to.No matter how smooth the road is, one gets tired and wearies for his destination, which was | | bed and breakfast, and two of the largest waiters to wait on the table I have ever seen.They: seemed to be out of place entirely in that business and scemed more fit to engage in were French.I would rather have had smaller waiters and less to pay, for the charge was equal to the size of the waiters\u2014a little extra.1 didn\u2019t have time in the morning to see much of the Ancient Capital, with its winding streets and historic buildings, as the Sardinian was to leave at 9 am., so we (a couple of others were with me) were driven to the Quebec and Montreal wharf, where the tender was to take and convey us to the steamer, which was lying opposite the Citadel, all of which was accomplished in due time, On board, however, wo we wère delayed an hour, waiting, it was said, for the Marchioness of Lansdowne, who was to honor us with her presence during the voyage.I took à look up the giddy and precipitous height to the Citadel and wondered if that was the place where Wolfe climbed up, but everybody seemed as ignorant as myself.I think if he had only looked around he could havo found an easier place to get on top than the place I viewed.I saw a board hung up on the brow of the hill with \u201cMontgomery fell here\u201d on it.I don\u2019t wonder at his falling, for its terribly steep just there.The steamer swung around and guns were fired on board and on shore, and away we went down the St Lawrence to brave the perils of the deep.The next thing was to see our quarters for the trip, which I found between the first and second decks, well forward.The intermediate on the Sardinian consists of two rooms, one on each side of the ship, of the dimensions of about 24 foot long and 12 fect wide.Around each room aro 18 berths, one small wash-place and the steward'a cupboard.Placed in the centre is a table and benches, the whole length, so you may consider how much room there was to get around.The fact ia, it ia an abominably cramped-up hole.Eighteen persons slept in that small room, and as the port holes had to be closed at night, there was no ventilation but what came through the door from other quarters of the ship, the smell of which was not quite equal to altar of roses, The ladies, 7 in number, occupied the room on the opposite side, four of whom had husbands on board.I was pleased to meet Mr Ness of Howick while I was investigating our quarters, for 1 was aware he was anold sailor,and knewthe ropes, Having disposed of our luggage and got & berth, the aides of which were not far enough apart to admit of much rolling about, for it was just exactly the width from the knee to the foot, we proceeded on deck, for it would not do to lose the sight presented on the shores.The day was very fine, and the scenery was Just as fine to look upon.After going down the river some distance, the country becomes hilly and rugged on the north but on the south shore there is one continuous line of buildinga, with a village and the usual large church every few miles.The hills draw closer and the level and cultivated portions, become narrower as the river widens.The buildings generally are in keeping with those of the French residents of other places.I have no doubt but it must be cold and dreary enough here in the winter season, but they have some compensation in the pleasantaess of summer, if it is anything like what one would suppose from gusing upon its grandeur and beauty, at this season of the year, from aboard a steamship.Although everything was novel, and we could feast our eyes on the scenery, there was the stomach that required feasting on something more substantial, and we went to our first dinner, The meal hours were: breakfast 7.30 a.m, dinner 12,and tes 5 pm.The ladies, as a general thing, are fond of knowing what a person gets to eat when away from home.They ask thesc questions, I think, mostly from habit, aud also from à desire to know how their own table compares with others, yet they take few lessons, for most of them seem to stick to their own method, HUNTINGDON, Q.THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1885.of record by a first class reporter, so, reader, if you sce anything silly in any of this, bear in mind that the head cannot be very clear when 80 many of the other parts of the system are depressed.Our bill of fare, with slight variations, was: Breakfast (this is for the Sardinian) steak, (when beel it was tough enough), stew of potatoes and weat, bread, hot biscuit, butter, coffee and sometimes tea.Dinner ; soup (varied) roast, potatoes, broad and puddings, viz rice, rhubarb, sago and plum.Supper; tea, bread, cold meat, butter (have tasted better) and orange warmalade.Mr Neus sat at the head of the table, and did the honors with good grace, but he did not say grace as, no doubt, he thought us a rather graccless set, yet upon the whole thore stations as they really were with the namo or, was quite a respectable mess.As to nationality ~ fthey wore all, save one, of whom I am not sure, and who was the only distant person in the lot, English and Scotch.The Englishmen who had reached a few minutes before 10 pm, when I , been in this country for some time were rational was driven to the Albion hotel, where I had a in their views about Canada, Lut there were | three or four who were non-residents and had been out on somo businesss.One had stopped over night, another had been out fixing up machinery in cotton mills at various times, &e, logging than in handling plates and cups.They and there is ono thing certain that if the you shores toll the same story they did on shipboard they will not induce emigrants to come to Canada, for they ran it down to the lowest notch.Why, they could not get anything fit to cat, especially the Leef, it wassotough.They never sat down to a meal that satisfied them; there was always \u2018something wrong.I never saw people who made such a god of their stomach as they did.As for myself I saw nothing wrong in particular with the food furnished, the only trouble lay in my stomach and not in the food.The Englishman I mentioned as à machinist, was from Manchester, and was quite a character, and gave us towards the last considerable diversion, for he was a good singer, in his cockney style, and a dancer, having followed the business, for a number of years, in h'old Hingland, and if he could amuse in these things he could rile us with his tongne when he would come down on Canada.I may as well speak of an other character here, that I slightly mentioned before.He too was English by birth, but had been in this country for thirteen years, and if one did not find out about his business it was not his fault.He is a storekeeper and was taking a trip for his health.He must, he- fore leaving, have bought out an homeopathic and an allopathie drug store and brought the contents with him, besides some wet groceries.He was also a poet, and wrote a poem on board concerning some remarks about Jesus, made by an English church minister at service, He asked me to copy it, but I didn't even read it.I once wrote some poetry myself, and as it didn\u2019t suit a fastidious person quit it.He told me to stick to prose, and [ have been prosy ever since.This being was very religious, believed implieitly sll the teachings of the Bible, but was down on the Beott act,as it put restrictions on the liberties of the people.It used to make me nervous to see him at meals, sticking his peaked nose in the dishes, as if nothing was good enough, but, after all, for a sick man, he used to eat enough.He was secretary of à charitable\u2019 society and had one of tha nicest wives on the coutinent, and he wanted us to know it.He told of Lady Macdonald calling at his place of business and purchasing something, when she told him to send it to her residence; he asked where that might be.She seemed to be surprised and replied, \u201cDon\u2019t you know, sir, that I am Lady Macdonald\u201d He said he knew her well enough, and only asked to see what she would say.I will only speak of one more, an Englishman who had been a resident of Australia and came by way of San Francisco in order to ae a brother in the Northwest, and was now on his way to visit friends in England.From what he shid of Australia, it has about one of the finest olimates to live in there is in the world, and he said that there could be no inducements strong snough for him to live in England again.He was engaged in raising sugar cane and making it into sugar.I have got away ahead of time, and to come back to the scenery on the banks of the St Lagw- rence, it became more varied and wild, with some rugged hills in rear of the farm lands near the chore.While looking round & person came ap to \u2018the and called me by name, whom I recognized as soon as he smiled, and I was pleased to know that I had an old acquaintance on Qoard in the person of Mr Douald McIntosh, formerly of the Parish of St Aunicet nowas resident of Montana and for some years back.He had been at home for a fosv weeks and having a comrade with him they had come to the conclusion to take & trip to Europe and return by way of New York to their home in Montans, I parted with him hale and hearty just before leaving the ship at Liverpool, The buildings along the shore present the same low, white washed appedrance that they do in all French settlements.About 9 o'clock in the evening the ste&mer stopped and sent off whatever it is, through, thiok and thin.That; some mail and the pilot, st Rimouali, is generally the way of the world anyway.and stoeples that | matters that would be overlooked as not worthy | in-wed a beautifal one it was, with a cool breese corm Tee ce OM re A : \u2026.: The first night was passed on board quite setting their buildings high in the air; they I would here state that I may enter into small: comfortably, ind Sunday morning was ushered $1.50 A-YEAR.and the south shore presenting & more rugged appearance, being rocky and hilly, while the buildings along the water front are getting thinner than they were yeoëeeday.The north shore is just discernible.The captain coudesceuds, as ho is passing aJong, & pigch the cheeks of a steerage passongor baby, and say something.It seemed quito a candescension, for the baby was not prepossessing nor the cleanest in the world, but there in policy in these things.I am certain it was not from choice, fur the officers do not make very free with any ono outside of a saloon passenger.For imy part they aro welcome to do so.Services were conducted in the saloon by a couple of Church of England ministers, of the high dogree principle, thoy told me.Anyway, I don't sco the use or neod of auch performances aa they weut through.Ia the afternoon they officiated on deck.There were three Episcopalian clergy- mon and one young Baptist preacher, but the captain would not allow him to hold service; at least the young man told me so himself.We passed a number of steamers, ono of which the crow called a \u201ctramp,\u201d that is a steamer that has-no-segular line, and several sailing vesscls, What is more boautiful than a full rigged ship, with all sail set, scudding before a light brecze?As thoro are no seats on deck, forward of the ropestretohed ncross the ship where yo eammon folks must not go, farther oft, one hay to sit on post heads, anchors, or squat down on the deck.A whale was seen spouting and just then the minister commenced spouting, intoning and chanting.Before night we got rid of land to our right, and still saw it to the left.(TO BE CONTINUED NRXT WERK.) THE WHISKEY PEDLARS ON TIIE PACIFIC RAILWAY.BISCOTASING, Aug.17.\u2014Thia place is situated along the line of the Canada Pacific Railway 80 miles west of Sudbury Junction and 461 miles from Port Arthur.It will be favorably known to many of our brave troops who passed along the line of the C.P.R.in the month of April as ono of the points where they enjoyed a warm, comfortable meal on their journey to the Northwest to put down the rebellion.It is at this point the head offices of the Construction Company are located and payments made to om- ployeos on the line, At this point for the past Sight months a large floating population have been congregated, varying from say 500 to 1000, some depending upon their labor, othar, like the sutler following an army, preying upon the hard-worked, if well-paid, men.In this class you may enumerate peddlers, professional gamblers, sneak thiovos, and the overywhere- whiskey peddlers.This latter class is the most numerous of the various classes plying their vocation along the line, dispensing the poisonous liquid in camps and boarding houses at prices which would astonish dwellers in civilization, from bad, diluted high wines colored and sold as brandy at $10 a bottle to tho same material at 25c per glass, Although occasionally caught, the profits are #0 enormous they can well afford to pay the 820 or $40 fine and hegin anew.The business is carried on systematically.A tent is pitched, two or three join partnership, start an ostensible boarding tent, watch the coming cara for men, get them in if they have a show of money, drug them, then rob them, or, as was frequently she case last winter, wayla them after night and take their all Such scenes 8s these were of nightly occurrence, and oor men were viotimized from $3 up to $300, heir all taken from them.One occurrence, which ended in death, took place in April last, A Bwede or Finlander was chased one night.In his flight he ran towards a lake close by and was either thrown or fell in, breaking through the ice.His hat, coat and wallet were found on the bank.Although some of his comrades searched for a day, his body was not found uatil some time in May.A post mortem examination was held.arks of violence, contusions, and bruises appeared about the face and head.Nothing was found to identify him.All his friends had gone, and nothing more could be dono but to ary him.This is only one instance of many such occurrences to show how little regard there is for life along the line.It is not to be thought that the railway company have been remiss in endeavoring to aup- press the liquor traffic.They have at considerable exponse, until the road was put through, kept a staff of six railway constables.The Ontario government also appointed & stipendiary magistrate for Nipimingand Algoma, whose duties were to act upon the line in criminal and other cases wherein by proclamation the preservation of the peace in the vicinity where the Public Works Aet was in force.To aay that he has not performed: his duties faithfully would be wrong, when I am informed that the number of comyictions made in about 2} years since his appoitment exceed 250, and the fines collected are at least $3000.Still, notwithstanding a very stringent Act, the evil has not abated, and upon & reduction of the forge it colminated upon the 27th July last by the liquor dealers entering into a combination to resist all law.On that day, when two cou- stables entered a tent to enforce a warrant harangued their friends, \"sud said would resist all attempts made to poor ae them on thelr march.They house of the stipendiary with threatening mutterings.At this stage of matters fir A, McNaughton, the magistrate, communicated by wire with Mr Abbott, the manager of construction, who was at Port Arthur, Ît was arranged, to seck tho aid of the Provincial authorities at Toronto, to which point Mr McNaughton at onoe proceeded.The Ontario government with promptness placed at their disposal the number of men asked for\u2014ten\u2014under the charge of Mr Rogers, the government detective.They reached horo on the Rth instant, and immediately set to work in arresting two that night and two on the morning of the 10th.The ring- leadors made their excape Lu the wuvils, and aro still at large.Four, however, hato been up for examination, and have been committed to Pembroke aol for trial.The work of demolition was then taken in hand.About 20 shanties and tonts occupied by the classes named wero torn down.The inmates have now leit the lacs.The work performed by tho special constables was thorough and efficient, aud without: bluodahoid.In the fivo days of their so- juurn twenty convictions and committals wure made, and fines to the extent of 3525 imposed.À tostimonial and suitable gift was given to Mr Rogers, who was in charge of the men, and tho thanks of the law-abiding citizens tendered him and his men for the manner in which they performed their duties in ridding them of a yang of disreputable and lawless men who have been the terror of the community for the past nine months.DUBLIN, Auguet 25\u2014The l\u2019arnellite managers held a recret meeting hero to-day to select candidates for the coming campaign, and to discuss the future policy of the Home Rule party.Mr Parnell presided, and it was resolved to advise all the Homa Rulo constituencies to select no candidate without fist consulting Mr Parnell, and to vote for none whu would uot give lodges to uct with the purty as a unit in Pars amont, It is vequired that candidatos should ench sign a

Only the Irish can defeat themselves ; the Eoge lish Parliament cannot defeat us.(Cheers) We have met and beaten the warst that England can do.\u201d Montreal, August 28.\u2014 Yesterday inuruing 4 young men appeared at the police court and gave themselves up to the authorities, ane nouncing that they wore the mon engaged in the affray on the Lower Lachine road on Monday, iu which William David Montieth was killed.Detective Cullen, however, had discovered who the real culprits wero, aud had also sworn out warrants for their arrest bofore Judge Dugas yesterday morning.The voluntary aurrender,.however, saved them from forcible arrest.The young men gave their names as Napoleon Gauthier, aged 22, Peter Gauthier, his brother, aged 19, J.B.Poineau, aged 22,and Antoine Puineau, his brother, aged 19.Napoleon Gauthier admitted.that he was tho man who atrunk poor Montieth with the butt end of the gun and inflicted the wound from which he fed.Gauthier acted nn the spokesman of the party, and he narrated a story to tho detectives, which was in effect that he and the three others, on Monday lust, went into the fields at Verdun, with an old double.barrelled gun, to havo a little shooting; they also had with them a hasket, to carry any fruit they might gather, and a knife to cut branches, as well as to cut their fuod with, While going across the fields they met some person coming towards them, and who shouted out eslling them names and saying, \u201cWe're going to fix you,\" and as they were going to ba beatun the triad to run away, bat the othor man ovértoo thera and struck him (Napoleon Gauthier) a blow on the back.As the pursuers here showed that they were going to try and make them prisoners, thoy endeavored once more to get away.One of the other party now eamo lor- ward with a fork as if he were going to stab him, whereupon he (Napoleon Gauthier) caught hold of the furk and struck the mau a blow with tho butt end of his gun, which broke the butt.He then jumped over a fence so as to wake his escape, when another person got hold of his wrist and held him.He then called to his brother to bring the knife, in order to frighten his captor into letting him go.His brother threw the knife at the man who was holding him and then picked up a stone which he also hurled, whereupon his captor let him They then ran away.He, Napoleon Gauthier, was 80 much hurt by the blow he had received on his back that he fell down twice and called out to his friends, \u201cWait for me, I am not able to walk or run ;\u201d but they replied, \u201cCome on, come on, or we shall be killed, they are coming after us.\u201d The foregoing having been read in French for the benefit of the prisoners, the following information was elicited by crous-exams ination.The weapon which had struck Napoleon Gauthier on the back was the handle of the fork, The prisoner Napoleon Gauthier admitted that he had struck the deceased on the head with the gan, but he did not say how far he was from the deceased when his brothet threw the kuife at bis captor.It was not the same patty whom he had struck with the gua who caught hold of him at the fence.In giving his account, the prisoner, Napoleon Gauthier, did not say whether he knocked the person intwed for \u2018the apprehension of a party selling liquor who would not obey a suramons, a gang of some fifteen or twenty congregated in the tent, rescuqd the prisoner, knocked dowu both constables, kicked and beat thom, laking their batons and\u2019 beating them over the head, face, and arms, to the effaxion of blood, from the effeats of which they have not yet recovered.The gang subsequently marched through Bisco- tasing flourishing the batpus taken, with sticks and other weapons, firing off revolvers going from tent to tent wherein it was well known wo.that an illegitimate traffic was carried on, down whom he struck with the gun, nor whether he struck more than one person with the same weapon ; he did state, however, thay the party who eame after them consisted of six orseven persons.He did not mention whether | the whale party attacked them in a body of jaingly.The prisoners stated that they wore | |

on the north side of the ;canal and had gathered a few cherries and eme, when they espied a cherry tres on the Phe side of the canal, whereupon they crossed over to gather the fruit.The treo was not standing in either an orchard or garden, but in an open pasture.They had taken the gun with them, s0 as to shoot any birds they might soo, and thoy had already shot a hawk, e jury could not agree on a verdiet, 11 being for manslaughter and 4 for murder.The prisoners were committed for trial.Ghe Canadian Gleuner, HUNTINGDON, TTURSDAFY, SEPT.3,1885.THE hearing of the appeal in Riel's caso was to begin at Winnipeg yesterday.Should the oourt sustain the legality of the trial, another appeal will be taken to the supreme court, and, if needs be, to England.It being an object with Riel's friends to gain time, these proceedings will be prolonged to the utmost.The government is not bound to |.stpone the exe- oution, fixed for the 18th instant, but will probably do so while legal proceedings are pending.It is with deep regret we observe that Colonel Ouimet has expressed himself as in sympathy with the half-breeds and as decidedly opposed to executing Riel.Should a second rebellion break out, what confidence would be felt in a battalion animated by such sentiments?Mr WHITE was re-elected by Cardwell with & sweeping majority\u2014672.The only two municipalities in the county where the liberals predominate, gave him a majority, indicating that they preferred him to his opponent.On Saturday evening the press association enters tained Mr White to a dinner in Montreal, which was a highly successful tribute to a gentleman who has done honor to his calling.Mr White is about to visit the Northwest and make himself personally acquainted with the subjects that will come under his control as minister of the Interior.THE quarrel of Spain with Germany regarding the latter's seizing the Caroline islands is still unsettled.By all reports, Spain has cause to be aggrieved.Her navigators discovered the islands, which lie in the Indian ocean, 200 years ago, and ever since they have been regarded as belonging to her, though she did not occupy them or attempt to improve them, Germany's greed for foreign possessions seems to be the sole motive for annexing them.By herself Spain is helpless, but in a dispute with Germany she can count on the assistance of France, whose prejudices have been excited anew by Germany's taking steps to drive out the French from Alsace-Lorraine.It is an in- stanceof retributive justice, that what Germany is attempting to do in these provinces, Russia is actually doing towards Germans in Poland and the Baltic provinces.It is announced that the government has decided to use the authority given them to deepen the Welland canal from 12 to 14 feet.The work will increase the public debt without being of substantial benefit to Canada.The Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain railway, Ogdensburg and Oswego will be enriched by it, for the great propellers they employ will be able to carry full cargoes from Chicago.ON the eve of a general election Mr Parnell throws off all disguise and fires the latent spirit of treason among his followers by the declaration tbat he aims at nothing less than the entire legislative independence of Ireland.The trumpery about home-rule, federal union, and constitutional reform, having answered his purpose, by deceiving the people of England as to bis designs, is dropped, and we have an unmistakable re-echo of the old cry, Repeal of the union.According to Mr Parnell, a parliament with absolute control of Ireland is to sit soon at Dablin, and among its first measures is to be ene to restore prosperity to Irish manufactores by adopting a protective tariff.His henchman, O\u2019Brien, shows the cloven foot still further\u2014 landiords are to be driven out of Ireland as well as English and Scotch goods, and, by-and-by, there will be no concealment of the intention to drive out the Protestants and keep Ireland solely for those of Celtic descent.It proves how conscious he is of the strength of his posi- tian that Mr Parnell should come out this plainly.His belief is that the general elections will result in giving him so numerous a following that he will hold the balance of power in the house of commons and enable him to dictate to the ministry of the day.His organisation in every part of Ireland outside of Ulster is per- feet, and not only will no candidate be chosen who bas not received his approval but every member is to be bound to implicitly obey bis commands by written bond-and the much more 1 motive of receiving a salary which he op His expectation now is, that be will most the new parliament with at least 87 mem- bees, who will vote as he orders, and be as per- foctly under his control as & Prassian regiment is nnder its colonel, How this danger is to be met is not plain.Should Mr Gladstone sweep the country, he may re-enter office with a majority so large that Parnell and bis 37 voting-machines would be objects of indifference to him.That is, however, improbable, for Eogland is pretty evenly divided between conservatives and liberals, and the party that wins the day will bave no great margin of strength.The bope of the country fo in the courseindioated by Mr Gladstone's Sontappnt, the Marquis of Hastington, who ex- .presses his belief that in the face of the menaced danger\u2014 Any minor political differences among the parties of this country will be comparativel obliterated, and means will be found by whic practically a united parliament, representing practically a united people, will im à firm and decided veto upon pro s which in their nature are so fatal and mischievous to the integrity of this empire and the prosperity of its people.These are patriotic words and the speaker might have gone further in stating that, when threatenod by a body of members who have been expressly elected to effect the disruption of the empire, and enter parliament not to transact its business but to obey the commands of their master to prevent its being disposed of, loyalists would be perfectly justified in refusing to permit ¢ fo take their seats.That the long-brewing trouble in Ireland is approachipg à orisis is apparent, and another year will dispose of Parnell as O'Connell and the long succession of agitators before him were disposed of, for however uncertain at the pre- sont time it may be in what particular mauner he is to be squelched, that he will be is as certain as that calm succeeds storm.Ireland bas continued to be an integral part of the British empire for 700 years, despite the plots and open rebellions of traitors, and will be so maintained 50 long as that empire survives.THE commission to settle the halfbreeds\u2019 claims are reported to have granted land serip to nearly 2000.The halfbreed shows how great his anxiety was to get a farm by selling the acrip at the door for half its face.When these miserable people have squandered the money thus obtained, they will arrange another rebellion and a fresh haul on the government.It is a pity the assistance took such a form, Had they been given land, with-&rproviso preventing their disposing of it for a certain number of years, two evils would have been avoided, the encouraging of the half breeds to depend upon government aid and preventing colonization companies and speculators from paying for their purchases with scrip obtained at a great discount.CHEESE has taken a sudden start upward, which it is to be hoped will be maintained.Its suddenness and the fact that the spurt in June proved tobeabortive throws doubt upon whether the present rise has a solid basis.One fact in favor of its not being & mere move of a ring of speculators, is the fact that the shipments to England have falien greatly below those of last season.Montreal has sent some 80,000 boxes less and New York nearly 175,000 less.Taking the decreased shipments in connection with the fact that & dry summer has reduced the make in Britain, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the rise in price is owing to there being no longer a glut at Glasgow and Liverpool.If the cheese in other parts of Canada is equal to that made in this district, the quality is going to enhance the reputation of Canadian cheese.À finer season for cheese-making may never be experienced.° THE impression prevails in Montreal that the small-pox has been checked and is on the decrease.As there is no effective means adopted for collecting statistics this is to be doubted in the face of such an announcement that the burials in the Catholic cemetery of victims of the foul disease numbered 219 last week, and the burials in the Protestant cemetery 5.The mor- talityis confined almostexclusively to the French Canadian population.It is asserted only one Irish Catholic has fallen a victim to it.THE proposal, to which we referred at the time, to make the present year the centennial of the total abstinence reform, does not appear to have taken much hold upon the public attention, and the celebration threatens to be inadequate.The starting point of the total-ab- stinence movement Is assumed to be Dr Rush's pamphlet upon the abuse of alcoholic drink.At a time when the use of intoxicating liquors was universal, when there was a general agreement of public sentiment that they were not only beneficial but as necessary as food, the Philadelphia physician had the independence of thought to arrive at opposite conclusions and the moral courage to give expression to them.In advance of his age, his views are now ac- copted as the merest truisms, and indeed have been superseded by conclusions that go à great deal further.That there has been a great advance in right thinking on the subject during the hundred years that have passed is consoling, aud yet how much remains to bs accomplished ?Nobody now pretends, as was common in Dr Rush\u2019s day, that intoxicating drink is a necessity for the human system, yet how many, even in the temperance ranks, cherish the notion that they have medicinal properties\u2014that wine and beer give strength, and that spirits have a beneficial effect upon the digestive organs.In too many households the whiskey or brandy bottle still constitutes the medicine that is resorted to for every acheand pain.Our prohibitory laws embalm the delusion by making provision for the sale of intoxicating drink as a medicine, aud thus carry in them the main element of their failure.This, the last stronghold of the drinking habit, is giving way, however, and for one doctor who 20 years ago held that alcohol was not an esssatial in bis practice, we now flad à dosen ; where it was prescribed in 100 cases it is not now in 10, and hospitals have kept curtailing its use until the demijobn bas given place to the vial.Though it has taken a esatary to convinos the public that intoxicating drinks can be dispensed with ae beverages mot only without hurt but great benefit, it is not surely going to take so medicine gromly exaggerated, that there are substitutes far superior to it, and that it could be abolished altogether with great advantage.| The prelude to legislation is right opinions, and - when the delusions which have en wrapped the liquor-traffic with such deceptive appearances | have been entirely torn away, it will be dealt\u2019 with a3 it deserves, The American temperance society bas issued à call asking that sermons bearing on the great reform be preached on Sunday, the 20th of this month, that the sun- day-schools likewise observe the day in an appropriate manner, and that the evening of Monday, 21st, be devoted to public meetings.Such s simultaneous direction of the public mind to the subject will have a great effect, and so far as it can be with advantage, all friends of the cause should co-operate.FRONTIER 8.8.ASSOCIATION.THE 18th convention of this association was held in Zion church, Dundee, on Tuesday, 1st September.he first session was held at 1.30 p.m., the Rev J.B.Muir, president, in the chair.There was a large attendance both of delegates and members of the congregation who worahip in Zion church.The delegates who went by the railway were mot at the St Agnes crossing by the Dundee friends with carriages and taken to their homes.After devotional exercises, the report of the last convention was read, and the treasurer read a financial statement showing balance on hand to be $28.71.On motion of W.W.Dalgliesh, seconded by James Rennie, the report and statement were confirmed.The Rev A.Lee of Russeltown read a paper on the S.S, its achievements and its needs.The paper gave evidence of careful preparation and thought.The essayist shewed the comparatively recent origin of the S.S.movement ; ow, in the early stages, secular as well as spiritual instruction wasimparted tothe scholars, but of late years, with improved educational advantages, it was more purely a department of church work.He also shewed how the children and young people were receiving more attention at the hands of all Christian workers and that the ranks of Christian workers in every department were being recruited from the ranks of the SS.He warned parents not to neglect the religious instruction of the children in their homes.Among the achievements of the SS.he mentioned the SS.literature, books, papers, and helps to the study of the Bible, and also the training of the children in singing.Among the needs of the SS.was mentioned: 1.A good room, well-lighted, ventilated, &c.2.A good library.3.Periodicals, lesson helps, maps, &c.4.Good staff of teachers and a good superintendent, but the greatest need of all was the blessing of the Lord.The writer enlarged upon each of these points and gave much practical advice to SS, workers, Short addresses upon the Roper were delivered by the Rev Messrs Mac.ern, Watson, England, and Colonel McEachern.The Rev W.H Sparling then read à paper on the specific end of SS.work.The writer stated when we engaged in any work it was important we should have clearly before us the object we worked to accomplish.He shewed that in the first schools established secular education was the object and that the teachers were paid for their services.Now, however, the object was to impart religious instruction to the children, aud the specific eud was the salvation of the children, He shewed that the aim of all teachers should be to so instruct the children on Gospel truth that the Holy Spirit might convict them of sin and their need of a Saviour, and that the teacher should then urge the children to a personal trust in Christ.The President, Revs A.Lee, J.Watson, and England and Mr Gardiner spoke on the paper.All the speakers approved of the mattor as treated in the paper.It wasresolved, on motion of Col.McEachern, seconded by Rev James Watson, that in future only one convention be held each year, viz, on the first Tuesday in September.Resolved, on motion of Wm.S.Maclaren, seconded by James Rennie, that the President name a committee of five to nominate officers for the ensuing year, and to recommend where the next convention shall be held, and that this committee report at the opening of the evening session.The president named Lieut.-Col.McEachern, Rev A.Lee, Messrs W.W.Dalgliesh, John J.Fraser, and William Clyde as such committee.The session was then closed with the benediction.At 7 pm.the evening sossion was opened with singing and prayer.The committee appointed at the former session handed in the following report: Officers for the ensuing year : President, Rev A.Lee.Vice-Presidents: Rev W.Turnball, Beaubarnois souple ; Wm, Elliott, Ch county, and Rev W.H.Sparling, Huntingdon county.Secretary, Rev D.W.Morison.Executive Committee: Messrs Chas.McDiarmid, Jas.Curran, Rev Mr Robertson, and Adam Reay.Place of meeting: Union church, Covey Hill.Resolved, on motion of Rev A.Lee, seconded by John J.Fraser, that the thanks of this association are due to Wm.8, Maclaren, the retiring secretary, for his efficient services during the past two years, and we regret that he declines re-election on account of pressure of hen mly ad 0 report was unanimously ted.Rev Mr MacEachern opened the discussion on the question, \u201cWho should be in our Sabbath Schools?\u2019 The speaker urged all,old and young, to attend Sabbath-School, and instanced h own con ion, when the SS.was held immediately after the morning service, the result being that a large number of the parents remained, He c ly ul the young men to continue their connection with the school.He was followed by the Revs A.Lee and W.H.Sparling.Both of these gentlemen gave admirable addresses, full of good advice and practical hints, but want of space forbids even à summary.This closed the work of the 18th convention, which was one of the most interesting and profitable which the association has held, The attendance at both of the ssasions was large, the lecture-room of the church being well filled, both afternoon and evening.A resolution of thanks to the kind friends in long to persuade them that ite virtues ne à; The Rov Mr Dundee for the hospital] extended to the delegatos, was moved m, 8.Maclaren, sec- and copecially Cha president, moved Le Colond es y the p t, mov Colonel MoFachern and seconded by James Ronnie, was heartily responded to.One pleasing feature of the convention was the singing by the chareh choir, Miss Cameron as organist.In the evening there was à attendance of the scholars, who joined heartily in singing the hymns used in the 8S.Collection $692.: ATHELSTAN.The pienie given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church, on Thursday last, was not so largely attended as it would have been had the weather been more favorable, and the harvest finished.The afternoon, however, was very pleasantly spent.After all had dinner, the weather being so cold the friends, instead of trying to enjoy themselves in the grove, as they would have done had the temperature been warm, evidently wished to hear some addresses from the gentlemen present.Mr Rowat, pastor of the congregation, soon arranged a short programme, and as chairman, in his usual bappy manner, soon made the audience forget the cold, Rev Messrs Muir and Watson followed with short, spirited addresses, the chairman remarking that the cold day surely agreed with the speakers, The addresses were interspersed by instrumental music by Miss McGinnis and à soug by Mrs Duncan Cameron.The pastor in closing said he would always feel encouraged when he knew he had such a good staff of lady workers in the congregation, to whom the most of the work fell on this occasion.Mr Buckham, of the Huntingdon Organ Company, kindly placed one of their organs on the platform, which was pretty thoroughly tested by several competent players, and nothing but praise of the instrument was heard.One of the speakers remarked that he was pleased to see such a mark of progress in the district as the fine organs now manufactured in Athelstan and Huntingdon, and the congregation were only following in the line of progress in introducing the organ in the church service.The game of lacrosse between the Rockburn and Athelstan clubs resulted in three straight games for the home team.The game, \u201cas should always be the case,\u201d was a very friendly one and the best of feeling prevailed.The proceeds of the picnic will be about $60.COVEY HILL.The district schools in this neighborhood reopened on Tuesday, with Miss Gibson as teacher in No 1,and Miss Grasby in No 2.Some time ago it was intended to unite the interests of those two districts, Nos 1 and 2, aid so form one large district with a model school in the centre, and at the same time to have school two months in both district schools, but as the younger children at the extreme ends of the model school district conld not attend through the winter months, it was thought advisable to postpone the arrangement until some future time.The canvassers for the Scott act have already gone over the voters\u2019 list and report a majority for the act, and if the temperance men come boldly to the front on the polling days, as they should do, there is no doubt a victory will be gained in Huntingdon county.In the notice of the social in last week's Gleaner the first piece on the programme should have read thus: Reading: Young Ladies and Matrimony, Mr James Curran.HUNTINGDON.On Friday evening, in St John's

the eve of his departure to the village of Hunting- don.The programme consisted of an address to Mr McFarlane, accompanied with two large walnut hair-bottomed chairs, one to Mr Me.Farlane himself and the other to Mrs McFarlane.The address was as follows: To Mr Peter McFarlane : Dan Srn,\u2014A few of your many friends io and around Elgin having heard that you are about to remove your place of residence to a neighboring town, could not allow you to take your departure without giving you somo tangible proof of the very high esteem in which you are held by them.They would therefore take this opportunity of giving utterance to their doep regret in having to port with such a loyal and useful citizen, such a ind and obliging neighbor, and such a devoted and indefatigable Christian worker as you have proved to be.Your friends would assure you that, while you may in person remove from their midst, you will long be cherished in their memories as ono who was large-hearted, and ever among the foremost In originating and promoting every scheme devised, in church or state, that bad for its object the spiritual or material well-being of society.There is one thing you will leave behind you when yon go, and that is the savor of a good example, Your regular attendance upon the ordinances of God's house, your faithful discharge of duty as Sabbath-school teacher, and your liberality in contributing to the schemes of the church and to every other benevolent object, cannot but tell for good upon all who have had the pleasure of your acquaintance.You will therefore please accept these two cbalrs, one of which is presented to Mrs McFarlane and the other to yourself, as an expression of the kindly feeling which your many friends oberish towards yourself and your much respected partner in life.That you may be blessed in your going out and your coming in, in the city and in the field, in your basket and in your store, and in all that you put your hands unto, is the earnest prayer.of your numerous friends and well-wishers.Mr McFarlane replied in suitable terms.After the presentation, the guests were served with refreshments, of which there seemed to be an unlimited supply.All appeared to enjoy themselves and left for their respective homes well pleased with the evening's entertainment.Elgin, August 31st, 1885.$& Mr Ness of Howick has returned from Scotland, bringing with him an addition of 6 pedigreed Clydeadales to his valuable stud.They consist of 2 three-year old horse colts, 1 two-year old, and 1 one-year old, and 2 one- year old fillies.They are bays and pretty well marked with white, and those who have seen them describe them as a very even lot, there selection doing credit to Mr Ness's judgment.The voyage was made on the Titania from Glasgow, and was a fine one, the colts being landed in fine order.Some time ago Mr Robt.McIntosh of Jamestown purchased a 3 year-old horse-colt from the importer, Mr Dalglish.4 He isa -promising

Beauharnois, in accordance with a resolution of the county council, was held at Valleyfeld on Thursday.The town hall being too amall for the number who gathered, the meeting was held in a field adjoining the Windsor hotel.The warden, J.Bte.Myre, presided, and explained how the meeting was called and that it was not a party gathering, but designed to give both sides an opportunity of discussing the political situation.The secretary, E.L.Normandin, read letters from those invited who did not attend.The report of the speeches we take from the Witness and Gazette.The chairman having explained that each side would speak two hours, introduced Hon Mr Mercier, as the first apeaker, who accused Mr Bergevin of not representing the in- tereats of the constituency, but conspiring with the others to ruin the Proviteé of Quebec.The Conservatives had created an enormous debt to the Province.They had raised taxation and had created a debt of $21,000,000, He would prove it by the Budget speech of the Hon Mr Robertson, urer in the Legislature, He condemned the sale of the North Shors, on which the province had spent so much money.It would not have been necessary had not the Conservatives squandered the public funds.While their constituents remained indifferent the majority of the House would let ministers do as they pleased, and the debt would increase, The expenditure should be cut down at once if the province was to be saved from ruin.The last sale of the North Shore Railway also came in for a sweeping condemnation, Mr Bergevin bad, he said, opposed a motion made by the Liberals to remove the for the care of the insane from the municipalities and place them on the Government.But while he was thus ready to tax le for their infirmities he voted to increase the indemnity of members by $100a year, and to create an additional office, that of Solicitor-General.He (Mr Bergevin) bad strongly o a motion to abolish the useless office of Minister of Railways and substitute therefor one of great importance, vis, that of Minister of Agriculture &nd of Colonisation.The country depended on agriculture, for the United States.Parliament had voted $10,000 for repatriation and colonization, but this sum bad been spent entirely on Earopesn immigration.The Liberals moved fora Jarger grant, and asked that it be expended in the right direction, snd this Mr Bergevin also opposed In closing he would ask why Sherbrooke not paid the $50,000 odd that it owed to the Municipal Fund.It was simply because it was represented in Parliament by the Hon Mr Robertson, Provincial Treasurer,and was favored by him on that account.à Mr Bergevin, M.P.P, in replying got off a string of jokes and platitudes, until recalled by a voice in the crowd saying, \u201cWhat about that bad boat Mr Mercier says you are in?\u201d Mr Bergevin replied promptly, \u201cHold your breath.\u201d This the man in the crowd refused to do, and four of the police had to be employed to keep him quiet.Mr Bergevin then announced roudly that he had voted for the sale of the orth Shore Railway and the increased indemnity.He denied that the debt was by any means as large as Mr Mercier made out, and while the debt had increased there was somo- thing to show for it in the way of increased facilities for transport and new public buildings constructed.Besides, a dollar a few years was worth as much as two now.As to the Municipal Loan fund the municipality of Val- leyfield was in debt to the amount $25,000, and how, then, could he vote in favor of Sherbrooke being compelled to poy immediately.when his own town was unable at the present time to refund its share if it were called upon.Sherbrooke, too, had a counter claim againt the Government which considerably reduced its indebtedness.The speaker acknowledged having voted for an increased indemnity, but Mr Mercier, \u201cthe saviour of the people,\u201d had pocketed his $100, and although he voted against the motion, no had heard of his ever having paid back a single dollar of it.Mr Mercier voted against the sale of the eastern section of the Q.M.O.& O.railway, but he had shown his inconsistency by voting for the sale of the western section.Mr Mercier here broke in excitedly : \u201cI defy you to prove it\u201d Mr Bergevin tried to continue, but Mr Mercier kept shouting, \u201cproof, proof\u201d at the pitch of his voice.Mr Leblanc, M.P., denied that the Conservatives had reduced the province to Bankruptey.They had been in power for forty years and the Liberals for only short periods, but all the same the latter had found means during their short stay in power to add considerably to the public debt.He continued: \u201cMr Mercier, in his usual polite and gentlemanly way, says that it is false and untrue that he voted for the sale of the western section of the North Shore.I say it is true, and I will prove it.\u201d Mr Mercier jumped from his seat with & yell of \u201cprove it.\u201d «I will,\u201d replied Mr Leblanc with exasperatin coolness, who turned up the official debates an showed that Mr Mercier had voted against\u2019 his party in this matter.Mr Mercier completely lost his temper, and excitedly offered to bet 350, which he would deposit in the hands of the Chairman, that Mr Leblanc could not prove his statement, adding as an afterthought, that the money was to go to the poor of the parish.Mr Leblanc declined the bet, however, and went on to quote from the public accounts to show that, while in office, the liberals had given $29,700 for colonization purposes in liberal counties and only $5,780 in conservative counties.The Hon Mr Laflamme denounced the new Franchise Act, which placed in the hands of the revising barrister the power to say who was qualified and who was not.That power ought to rest with the different municipal councils who were elected by the people.He also condemned the Federal Government for neglecting to right the wrongs of the balf-breeds, thus bringing on the insurrection in the Northwest.He dealt in an exciting manner with the Riel question, appealing to the prejudices of the people and seeking to arouse hostile feeling on account of the mode of his trial and his condemnation.He said the trial had been a farce, it was unconstitutional, and Riel was a martyr to fanaticism, and the misdeeds of the Government who had refused justice to the Metis.Riel, he concluded, must be saved, for he was only the mouthpiece of the Metis.Mr Bergeron made an able defence of the Franchise bill and showed that the system was much the same as prevailed in England where the people loved their liberty fully as much as any nation on the face of the earth.A better bill had never been passed.As to the Northwest rebellion he said that à year ago when the Government received the petitions from the half-breeds they at once sent Sir Hector Lan- gevin, Hon Mr McLellan, and Hon Mr Carling to examine into the justice of the claims of the Metis, but on visiting the country, instead of receiving complaints, they everywhere received loyal addresses and were tendered uote, The system under which Riel has been tried was a creation of the Liberal Government, bat there was an excuse for it as in a thinly settled country like the Northwest it was sometimes impossible to get men to select twelve from to form a jury.Mr Richardson, the Stipendiary Magistrate, who tried the case, had, according to Mr Laflamme, been appointed by the Conservative Government to replace sa Irish Catholic magistrate appointed y the Liberals.He (Mr Bergeron) cou d tell them a different story, however.Mr Richardson was appointed during the Mackeunzie-B régime, as he was well-known ta be a French hater, He sizongly disapproved of the fiery speeches made at Riel meetings as they were calculated to set one rovince against another, They should lot the w take its course, and he could assure that Riel would not be hanged as we did net hang fools in this free country.This statement elicited tremendous cheering during which the Hon Messrs Mercier and Laflamme left the platform.Mr R.Dandurand followed, condemnin the Government for their treatment of the Ralf- breeds.A commission had, he said, been appointed to investigate the Chinese question, voile the same privilege was denied to the e Mr Curran, M.P,, next addressed the meeting in English, and subsequently in French.He said : His honorable friend, member for this county, had unnecessarily invited himeelf sod others to this meeting.As the discussion had shown they were themsslves more than a

railway question, he had answered bim triumphantly on the Municipal Loan accusation, and he bad held him ap to the well deserved ridicule of that vast assembly, for his unjustifiable course in connection with the increased sessional indemnity.The farmers of Beauharnois had reason to be proud of their unassuming but worthy representative in the Provincial Legislature.(Applause) As for his young and talented friend, Mr Bergeron, ever uous in his efforts to promote the best interests of the county in the House of Commons, it was needless to say a word, the prolonged cheers with which he had been greeted, the applause they had given to his observations as one after another he had successfully dealt with the speech of the ex-Minister of Justice, showed that they were proud of him as a child of the county, who, though still young, bad achieved a proud place amongst the leading men of the country.(Cheers) This was one of the first of the series of great Liberal demonstrations that had been promised, and the outlook was certainly not very cheering for the Opposition of this province.They had been told that the Dominion Government was to have been arraigned on its past record, and al! that Mr Laflamme could say was a few worn out objections to the Franchise bill that had been satisfactorily disposed of by Mr Bergeron, and a frantic appeal to the French Canadian people on the subject of Louis Riel and his recent trial.They had a right to expect something more from these gentlemen who had brought a thousand men from their occupations Leag at this busy season of the year.Was it becoming in a gentleman of the position of the Hon Mr Laflamme to place himself on a level with those who were endeavoring to stir up bad blood in different sections of the Dominion on this question ?Whilst Hon Mr Laflamme and others were speaking as he had spoken that day in the province of Quebec, the Toronto Globe was publishing the following in Ontario: \u201cThe campaign in Cardwell is almost over, and still the electors do not know whether Mr White favors the execution or reprieve of Riel.Does Mr White pro to compel the Orangemen of Cardwell to go to the polls blindfolded 3\" And thus the policy of double-dealing and fanaticism was going on.(Cheers) There was but one feeling amongst all trae Canadians on this subject, and that was, let justice be done; prosecute, but do not persecute.(Cheers.) any injustice had been done in the first trial, the Court of Queen's Bench at Winnipeg would rectify it, and if justice could not be had there, the highest tribunal in Canada, and if need be the Privy Council of the Empire would be open, but in the name of the and progress of our common country, whilst these proceedin were pending, men of standing and influence in the community should give the example of moderation in their utterances.(Cheers) Was it possible that the hon gentleman could find no other subject to touch upon?What of the political history of the past seven years ?Were the evidences of prosperity at that very spot, the result of the fiscal policy?Compare that growing and progressive town then with what it was in 1878, when the hon gentleman and his colleagues were in power, and what must be the verdict of every honest man?They had no doubt expected a deliverance from the bon gentleman on the railway policy of the Government.Was the fact just announced, that the five millions lent last session to the Canada Pacific, which the Liberals had predicted would never be reimbursed, had been paid back to the Dominion treasury, too overwhelming for the hon gentleman's nerves ?Then, again, there was the subject of the late mone transactions of the Minister of Finance wit reference to the conversion of our five per cents into fours, and the unprecedented price obtained for our securities in the great money markets of the world.Could they account for his silence on such an interesting topic ?These and kindred subjects they had a right to expect the hon gentleman and his friends, who had called them there, to treat of, but, instead of that, they had been brought together, not for political enlightenment, but for inflammatory arangues that could only darken the mind to the true aepect of the affaires of the country.(Cheer) e hon gentleman gave a brief statement of the causes of the Northwest troubles, laying the blame on the Grit Farmers\u2019 unions.He referred to the defence of the Government against the baseless charges that had been hurled against them, and concluded an impassioned peroration by stating that as a test of the sense of the meeting he would ask those who had faith in the patriotism, the skill and the statesmanship of the great old chieftain of the Conservative party to give thres rousing cheers for Sir John À.Maodouald.The immense gathering burst out into vociferous cheering, which lasted for several minutes.A young lawyer named Dupuis followed.Ho opened bis remarks by asying that Mr Bergevin was an ignorant farmer, and that Mr Bergeron was literally pulled by the ears out of the gutter by the electors of Beauharnois.This was received with howls of indignation, and it took all that Messrs Bergevin and Bergeron could do to restore order.Mr Pelletier, in the course of a witty speech, said that no matter what the previous speaker did he would never be haoged, as there would always be plenty of witnesses to swear that, like Riel, he was not responsible for what he did or ssid.The meeting closed with cheers for the chair- wan, the members for the count friends

assembled in St Sauveur market place, esterday afternoon, to receive from the Hon r Laurier, MP.for Quebec east, an account of his stewardship during the latesessionat Ottawa, and to hear the great political question of the hour discussed.On the question of the fate of Riel and the other balf-breed prisoners he said it was the daty of the French.Canadians of this province to unite and give the Government plainly to understand that persistence in the course they were running in the exercise of extreme severity to Riel and his associates would boattended with positive danger to the peace and prospetity of the Dominion.Senator elletier also made an effective speech, touching a responsive chord when be referred to the shabby treatment the Quebec volunteers had received for their services inhelping to put down a rebellion which the ministers themselves had provoked by their supercilious and brutal treatment of the half-breeds.He said that now that the revolt had been suppressed, that Mr Caron has get his knighthood, which was a badge of shame rather than of hooor under the circumstances, and General Middleton his $20,000, the Government still neglected to pay the Ninth Battalion.A resolution was unanimously adopted approving of Mr Laurier's conduct at Ottawa, and expressing admiration and thanks for his able defence uebed\u2019s interest and the national rights of the French-Canadian population and their brothers, the half-breeds of the North-West.The qaestion of the legality of Louis Riel's conviction is to come before the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench, one of

for its generosity in voting $200 to- | wards defraying the ex of Riel's defence, he pronounced a glowing eulogium upon the character of Riel, likening him to the leaders of the rising of 1837.om ho passed tos criticism of Hiel's trial, reflecting strongly upon the conduct of Judge Richardson.He dia not ask a pardon for Riel because he believed Riel mad, for he did not believe him mad, but because Riel had been tried in an illegal manner and because the balf-breeds were so oppressed that they were justified in revolting.He ridiculed the conduct of the volunteers, saying they distinguished themselves by seizing an alleged fortifioation of the half-breeds and discovered nothing in it but a chicken.He wound up with a little abuse of the English, and another panegyric upon the patriots of 1887 and 1838.The Witness statos that the number of deaths in Montreal from smallpox has been as follows : April, 6; May, 10; June, 13; July, 46; August, 241.A few days a man who kept

but, as his abilities were small, his reward was proportioned thereto.His skill went little beyond half-soles, Leel-tops, and patches.Those who, willing to encourage Thomas, ventured to order from him a pair of boots or shoes, never repeated the order.That would be carrying their good wishes for his prosperity rather too far.As intimated, the incume of Thomas Claire was not large.Industrious though he was, the amount earned proved so small, that his frugal wife always fouud it insufficient for an inadequate supply of the wants of the family, which consisted of her husband, herself, aud three | children, It cannot bo denied, however, that if Thomas had cared less about his pipe and mug of ale, the supply of bread would have Leen more liberal.But he had to work hard, and must bave some little self-indulgence.At least, so ho very unwisely argued.This self-indul- gence cost from two tu three shillings every week ; a sum that woud have purchased many comforts for the needy family.The oldest of Claire's children, # girl ten years of age, had Leen sickly from her birth, She was a geutle, loving child, the favorite of all in the house, and more especially of her father.Little Lizzy would come up into the garret where Claire worked, and sit with him | for hours, talking to him in a strain that caused \u2018him to wonder ; and some times, when she did not feel as well as usual, lying upon the floor, fixing upon him her large bright cyes, for almost as long a period.Lizzy was never so contented as when she was with her father; and he never worked so cheerfully as when she was near him, : Gradually, as month after month went by, Lizzy wasted away with some disease for which the doctor could find no remedy.Her checks waich we will sell reasonable, comprising ssfollows :\u2014 Kitchen, Dining-room, Parlor, Children's, Oftice, Arm, and Nurse Chairs, in cane aud wood.Olosed in aud open Washstands\u2014single and double.Sideboards\u2014?and 4 doors.Oribs, Bedstends, Cradies.Fall Leal, Centre, Extonsion and Parlor Tables.Ash and Ash aud Walnut Bedroom Suites, Couches in Creton, Carpet, and Hair Cloth.Walnut, Rose, aud Oval Back Hair Cloth Sofas.BEF\" Parties wishing to purchiase,cansee the above atthe Their Bstablishment, Huntingdon, \u2014on= Old Presbyterian Church, Athelstan.Also, Plows sod Circular Sawe at the AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Huntingdon.Give us a call BOYD & CO.FARM AND STOCK FOR SALE.Prices $2500.OR SALE, A FARM situate in the Township of Hin.chinbreuk, near Ruckburn, comprising \u20ac0 acres of land with Stone dwelling-house, summer kitchen, good woodihed end corn loft attached to house ;

for'he had smoked up the Inst of his tobacto, oh the evéning before.But he Had a penny left; and with that as soon as he had finished mending & pair of boots, and taken them home, he meant to get à new supply of the fi t weed.The boots had only half an hour's work on them.Bot a fow stitches had been taken by the cobbler when he heard the feeble voice of Liizy aallitig to him from the botbgm of ression better thao any eartbly thing;

but now, as be held Lizzy in his arms, ho bent down his face, aud kissed her check tenderly.A light, like a gleam of sunshine, fell suddenly upon the pale countenance of the child, while a faint but loving swile played about her lips.Her father kissed her again, and then laid her upon the littlo bed that was always ready for her, and once wore resume his work, Claire's mind had been awakened fiom its usual lenden quiet.\u201d The want of his failing child aroused it into disturbed activity.Thought beat, for a while, like a caged bird, against the Lars of neccssity, and theu fluttered back into panting imbecility.At last, the boots wero done, and, with his thoughts now more occupied with the supply of tobacco he was to obtain than with anything else, Claire started to take them home.As ho walked along, ho passed a fruit-shop ;

and particularly how wuny little luxuries might be procured for Lizzy, whose delicate appetite turned from the coarse fuod that was daily set before her.Bat to give up the Leer and tobaccu in toto, when it was thought vf seriously, appeured impossible.How could he live without them ?On that evening, the customer whose boots he had taken howe in the morning, called in, unexpectedly and paid fur them.Claire retained à sixpence of the money, and guve the balance to his wife, With his sixpenc: in his pocket, he went out for a mug of beer, amd some tobacco to replenish his pipe.Ho stayed some time\u2014longer than he usuaily tuok for such an errand.When he came back, ho had three vratiges in his pocket ; and in his hands were two fresh Luns, and à cup of sweet new milk.No beer had passed his lips, and his pipe yet unsupplied.He had passed through another conflict with Lis old appetites ; but love fur bis child came ofl, as beture the conqueror.Lizzy, who drooped about ull day, lying down most of her time, never went to sleep carly, She was awake, as usual, when her father returned.With scarcely less eagerness than she had eaten Lhe orange, in the morning, did she now drink the nourishing milk, and eat the sweet buns; while her futher sat looking at ler, his heart throbbing with delight.From that day the pipe aud the sucial glass Tv cost a painful and pro- Aud Claire found himself no He could work as many But the greatest change was in little Lizzy.Fur a few weeks, every penny The penny was between his tingers, and ho saved from the hecr and tobaceo, the father ro- took à single step toward the alchouse-door ;' gularly expended for his sick child; and it Lut su vividly cae back the image of little [soon became apparent that it was nourishing The conflict, |fuod, more than medicine, that Lizzy needed.even though the spending of a single penny [She revived wonderfully;

the least possible clothing, a frequent sponging of the body and coolin drinks.A sudden change from à hot to & coo temperature exposes one to internal congestions, Woollen clothing must be put on again.Heat and moisture favor the development of noxious germs, The only safety is in cleanliness\u2014clean collars, clean kitchens, clean sleeping-rooms, clean drinking-water, and just as much of clean air as possible, .Queen Victoria has just re-stocked the royal free library at Balmoral with several hundreds of new books.This library is open to the inhabitants of Crathie Parish and to all persons who are employed on the Balmoral and Aber- geldio estates.CL One interesting result of the photographing of birds in motion, which has been done, is the learning of the fact that a pigeon in flight flaps- its wings 600 times à minute.From this it is inferred that the \u201cdrumming\u201d heard as a pigeon rises from the ground is caused by the meeting of the wing above the back alone.HINTS FOR THE MONTH.CUTTING up corn will bo in order when froats come the latter part of the month.Much corn is stooked and tied too carelessly.Long before husking arrives, the shocks or stouta, are lying flat on the ground, with the rains beatiug through them and blackening the stalks.Take more time; set the stalks squarely around tho center hill, and bind firmly with two ties of rye straw, Fivish digging the early potatoes, before the rains cause them to sprout.Keep the later kinds free frow weeds, either by running a narrow cultivator through the rows, or by hand- pulling.We have seen potato fields, from & little nogleet at the Intter part of the season, showing wore weeds than potatotops.The potato-bug seems to have been more active than usual this season, and wany fields will have few tops to show.Buckwheat is eusily iujured by frost, and should be cut in good season.As it shells easily, cut with the dew upon it, let it cure in small, lovso bunches, aud draw it to the barn when slightly moist.Stock should receive good care through this month.Summer heats still prevail, and hard work continues, Horses deserve good feeding and regular watering.Whero it is possible, they should receive the latter midway in their half-day tasks.Watch earcfully the action of the harness at points where galls or sores are likely to form.A daily bathing of the shoulders in salt and water will tend to harden the skin aud prevent chafing.The picking and marketing of early fall fruit is now in order, Special care should be taken in handling early varieties of apples and pears; slight bruises lead to speedy decay.Where a fruit tree has not been trained from the start, the best time to note what pruning is nceded, is just after the fruit is picked.The cross-limbs and shoots will then make themselves noticeable, and can ba cut out, or, if large, marked with a string for late fall pruning.; The local fairs really d3 more for the imnprove- ment of agriculture than do the large fairs.To inake them usclul, all the farmers should exhibit at them, and of their best.The good dobe at the-e fairs, where the majority of visitors know {one another, through their social opportunities : \u2014allowiug farmers and their wives to meet one another, and talk over matters of interest,\u2014 and exhibit the best you have.If some one takes the premium you expected \u2014all the better.Find out why you failed.Make a day at the fair, giving it to learning from what is exhibited Ly others, and to teaching by what you have to exhibit.Have something ready for the fair; go and take the family.: The Calla is one of the most interesting plants for window use.It properly forms a center for the other plants, and its pure, white blossom, amid the fuliage und colored tlowers, attracts every oye in passing.The number of cutting off cach bloom as it begins to fade, an applying, common salt to the end of the cut stalk, This scems to hasten the healing of the wound, and to promote the development of the now flower.A photographer, who takes pictures of farmers houses, withall the family, and the favorite cow thrown in, for fifty cents, is operating.Ho makes & negative, and produces an agreement for the farmer to eign, to take so many pictures at fifty cents each.The pictures never appear, but a note for fifty dollars turns up very soon, sud the farmer paysit.Our old caution is still needed: \u201cFarmers, never sign anything for strangers,\u201d The present month io a good one to take the shoes off the horses for a spell, as tho walking will Le soft from fall rains.A few months of work without shoes, every year, will ordinarily no inherited trouble.The corns will be cured, the heels opened, thrush will disappear, the froga will grow broad and healthy, and the horn will be hardened and toughened to a remarkable degree.There remain, now, about three months before the ground freezes hard, and ic sharp-calked shoes, Although for ordinary country work, except on very icy roads, most horses, not very much used, will go bare-foot without injury all winter, it is rarely best to try the experiment.A fall on the ice ia \u2018often a serious thing, for both horse and rider, wagon and harness.In removing the shoes it will not do ta let tho horses go without doing something to the hoofs, for as will be seen, the crust, or hoof wall, has grown out beyond the sole, bringing the part weakened by nail holes, near, but not quite down to the level of the sole, and sensitive portion.The nails have caused a tend- eney to aplit, and if the edge of the hoof strikes upon a atone, the projecting part acts with a strong leverage, and often breaks the hoof up into the sensitive part, causing lameness.It is necessary, therefore, on taking takirig off the shoe to trim the hoof all round where the nails were, and sloping it upwardly.This can be done with a broad-bladed knife or & piece of a scythe, The sole and frog should not be toushed.| They wear away naturally, and as the.horn grows rapidly, the foot should be occasionally axamiued, to sge if it does not need trimming at some point.After the nail-holes have grown out, and been worn off, trimming.will be unnecessary on well-formed feet.They take care of themselves.Horses feet often break away more rapidly at the quarters.This need give no anxiety.lt is a provision for developing vatural calks at the heels.Hens need ealt ag much as any other stock, There is a preceptible taste of salt to eggs, and where hens produce eggs a large part of the year it makes a great drain on the system, I would not salt the food all the time, as it would become monotonous, sad it might be too sait for o steady diet.Buy give them a feed well salted twice a week.J \u2019 Two hundred and fopty friendly natives in one of their own steam accompanied an English steamer 140 miles north of Suakim on the Red Sen to the village of Shinat, which was attacked and destroyed.The British and allies in the battle killed a large number of hostile Arabs, who inhabited Shinat, and captured enough grain aud cloth to make a large cargo.\u2018One result of Earl Carnarvon\u2019s peaceful progress through Ireland has been an enormous influx of British tourists, No less than 1,500 sightseers from England, Scotland and Wales landed in Dublin on Monday.The rush of visitors brings roany thousands of pounds into the country, aod will tend toadd to the growing popularity of the viceroy, : SONI blossoms can bo largely increased, by promptly ! d keep a horse's feet sound, if they are liable to | roads make it necessary to shoe horses with\u2019 FARM FOR BALE.EING part of Lot No.8, in the 5th renge of Godwan- B chester, 3 miles from Huntingdon village, containing 100 acres, more of less;
