Church.Kerr (defendant below), appellant, aud Marchand (plaintiff below), respondent.The respondent had been in the habit of supplying the appellant with hay, straw and other articles.The latter complained that large quantities of the hay shipped to him was, bad, and sume of it rotten, and had heen refused.He admitted a hability of $363.28, after making the deductions which he claimed, The court below sustained the claim to the extent of $859.13.The judgment was contirmed unanimously.The Fabrique of the Parish of St Isidore et al.(defendants below), appellants, and Perras et al.(plaintiffs below), respondents.This was a case which arose under rather peculiar circumstances.Oue Demers, a churchwarden, had been sued by one Primeau, the ground of the action being that Demers while taking up the collection in the church, had passed by Primeau without presenting the contribution box to him, Demers was condemued to pay a small sum of damages, and the damages and costs amounted in all to $260.As Demers had acted with the sanction of the cure and two other church-wardeus, it was considered a hardship that he should have to pay this sum out of his own pocket.A resolution was, therefore, passed hy the church-wardens of the parish of St Isidore, that the Fabrique should assume the debt.The resolution was not carried with unanimity, seven voting for, aud five against the resolution.One of the dissentients then instituted the present action to have the resolution annulled as illegal and ultra vires.The action was maintained by the court below, and the present appeal was from that judgment.It was contended on the part of the appellants that the money having been paid to Demers by Trudeau, his successor as church-warden en charge, it was too late to attack the resolution.In any event Trudeau should be brought into the case before the resolution was annulled, as he would be bound to refund the money to the Fabrique-* It-was farther, shat Demers acted as the representative of the Fabrique, and that it was only just and reasonable that the Fabrique should reimburse him fur the expenses incurred.Tessier, J., dissenting, was of opinion to reverse the judgment.His Honor considered that as Demers had merely committed an error of judgment, and was performing a duty gratuitously, it would be hard to make him responsible for the ensts.Dorion, C.J., said the majority of the court were of opinion to confirm the judgment.The corporation bad no right to apply the funds to this payment, which was an extraordinary expense.But as the court considered thar litigation of this nature should be discouraged.the judgment would be confirmed without cost- in appeal.CANADA.The Ontario government, in creating Niagara Falls park, have deserved the commendation of all lovers of the grand and beautiful in nature wherever they may dwell.The park is long \u2014in this respect doing justice to its name\u2014 and extends for two miles and a half along the bank, containing one hundred and eighteen acres, and taking in all the points of vantage from which the falls and their environs may be viewed.The unsightly structures of the money changers have been removed and the banks of the river given a simply natural appearance The high-priced hackmen have been subdued and the petty and annoying monopolies abolished, so that whoever will may enjoy the full grandeur of the scene without money and without price.Outariv\u2019s national park will be a credit both to the province and the Dominion In its issue of Saturday La Verité, perhap« the ablest of the Ultramontane journals in Lower Canada, defines the position of its friends in politics.It says that whilst the Bleus, both in federal and provincial politics, have united with Freemasons and Orangemen, the amalgam constituting a party one and indivisible under Sir John's leadership, the Ultra- montanes are not united with Mr Mercier.They are merely allied with him temporarily, vetain- ing and proclaiming their own principles, so that when the necessity arises they wiil be at liberty to contract a similar alliance with other ublic men.A Spanish Ultramontane, Don arda, who has recently published a work on Liberalism, is quoted in justification of alliances of this sort.Don Sarda says when Ultramon- tanes find it expedient to ally themselves with Liberals in order to combat a common enemy, they are to take care that the Liberals are compelled to accept the Ultramontane policy ; when this is done there is no barm in the alliatice; on the contrary, it may be good in itself, as well as productive of good.The implication ot La Verité is that this has been done in the case of the alliance between its Ultramontane friends and Mr Mercier ; and, to tell the truth, there is abundant evidence in Mr Mercier's career of late to auppurt the implication \u2014 Mail.The pew magazine rifle, with which the British troops will soon be armed, is the invention of a

they were met by Rev and Mrs Charles Woud, of Germantown, and were immediately conducted to the residence where the reception They were followed shortly afterwards by the commissioners of the Southern Assembly, who also came ou a special train The reception took place between 4 aud 6 o'clock.The delegates were welcomed by a short speech by Mr Morris.The Rev Dr Bullock, the moderator of the Southern Assembly, and ex-chaplain of the U.President Cleveland \u201cI am very much gratitied by the opportunity here afforded me to meet the representatives of the Presbyterian church.Surely a man never should lise his interest in the welfare of the church in which he was reared; and yet I will not find fault with any of you who deem it a sad confession made, when I acknowledge that I must recall the days, now long past, to find my closest relation to the grand and noble denomination I say this because those of us who inherit fealty to our church, as I did, begin early to learn those things which make us Presbyterians all the days of our lives; and thus it is that the rigors of our early teaching, by which we are grounded in our lasting allegiance, are especially vivid and perhaps the best remembered.The attendance upon church service three times each Sunday and upon Sabbath school during the noon intermission, may be irksome enough to a boy of 10 or 12 year- have never known a man who regretted these thiugs in the years of his maturity.The shorter catechism, tho thoroughly studied and learned, e time, perfectly understood ; and yet, in the stern labors and duties of after-life, those are not apt to be the worst citizens who were early taught * What is the Speaking of these things aud in the presence of thoss here assembled, the most tender thoughts crowd upon my mind \u2014all connected with Presbyterianism and its teaching.There are present with mo now memories of a kind and affectionate father consecrated to the cause\u2014and called to his rest and his reward in the nidday of his usefulness; a sacred recollection of the prayers and pious love of a suinted mother and a family circle, hallowed aud sanctioned by the spirit of Pres- hyterianism.I certainly cannot but express the wish and hope that the Presbyterian church will always be at the front in every movement which promises the temporal as well as the spiritual advancement of mankind, Ia the tur- woil and bustle of every day life few men are foolish enough to ignore the practical value to sur people and our country of the chureh organization established among us, aad the advantage of Christian example and teaching.l'he field is vast and the work sufficient to «ngage the efforts of every sect and denomination; but I am inclined to believe that the church that is most tolerant and conservative without luss of spiritual strength will find the way to the hearts and affections of the people.While we may be pardoned for insisting that our denomination is the best, we may, I think, -afely concede much that is good to all other I am here to greet the delegates of general assemblies of the Presbyterian church.One is called The subject is tho deep and intricate for me, but I cannot help wondering why this should be.These words, so far as they denote separation and estrangement, should be obsolete.In the counsels of the nation and in the business of the country they no longer mean reproach and antagonism.Even the soldiers who fought for the North and for the South are restored to fraternity and unity.This fraternity and unity is taught and enjoined by our church.When she

from Josiah Shull, secretary of the State Dairymen's Association, will give some idea of what ten a letter to certain of the United States the conference will be: In regard to the dairy newspapers which have been distinguishing conference, I will say these conferences are a themselves by the publication of anti-Canad new departure.The first ever held in this country was last year under the

Methodist conference in which Canadian readers will be more interested than the work of \u201cCalifornia Taylor,\u201d Missionary Bishop of Africa.When he read his report the immense opera house was packed, and his telling pointa were warmly applauded.The personal heroism of the man and his missionary knight-errantry captivate the public mind.Besides this, he has preached in almost every town in Canada and is personally well known to many.Bishop Taylor's methods of missionary work among the heathen are so radically different from those generally adopted that the nore conservative minds of the Church, while acknowledging his zeal and heroiwm, shrank from giving his methods official sanction, He believes that it in his special duty to set the Church an example of self-supportiog missions, ! [on what he calls \u201cThe Pauline principle\u201d He began his work in Indias, chicfly among the Eurasian population, ie, nations born of British parents, of whom a large number exist in the seaports of that great peninsula.He surnmoned to his aid recruits to whom no regular salary would be given.They were to depend on teaching and handicraft and the voluntary contributions of their converte.The method wax very successful.A conference was organized without any aid from the missionary society of the Church and has remained self-supporting ever vince.Similar methods have been followed by similar results, hoth in Chili and Brazil under Taylor's leadership.But it is in Africa that the method has heen tried on the largest rcale, and for the first time with anything like official sanction.Four years ago William Taylor was set apart as missionary bishop for Africa, with full authority to establish self-supporting missions wherever he chose throughout the Dark Continent, He selected the River Cingo and its confluenta as the soene of his experiment, if such it could now be called.He noon had about 100 volunteers, who went out with the distinct understanding that they must maintain themselves by manual lshor, As the Bishop expressed it, it was \u201croot hog or die.\u201d He himself sot a conapicnous example of strenuous toil.He walked for hundreds of miles over the long stretches of portages.He dug irrigating trenches, he planted banana and plantain trees, he built mission houses.In this way several prosperous missions were established.For the most part his volunteer recruits adopted the methods of their leader with as much enthusiasm as himself.A few became disheartened at the hardships and sickness encountered, and returned home and some died.Bishop Taylor maintains that bis method is a signal success, and that it is the only method that can evang.lize Africa; that a similar method has enabled the Mahomimedans to largely subdue the country to the faith of Islam; and that the hospitable and receptive character of the native tribes makes them peculiarly amenable to this system of evangelization, He pleads for the recognition of his method.In reply to the question why he will not work under the Missionary Committee of the Church, he raised a laugh by saying, \u201cMy methods are so diverse from theirs that the two cannot be mixed up in the same office any more than can a coal yard and a millinery shop.\u201d He demands freedom of personal action, and objects to be controlled, as he says, by men \u201cnine thousand miles in the rear.\u201d The action of the conference on the status of missionary bishops is considered quite a triumph for Bishop Taylor snd his system.While he is not admitted to the full powers of a bishop in the United States, yet in not responsible to either the Board of Bishops or to the Missionary Society.A Mr 8.J.Ritchie, of Akron, Ohio, has writ- ian articles, In it be says: \u201cCanada is one of our beat customers.About one dollar out of every thirteen of the products which we export is sold to her, and in the aggregate she purchases from us about 20 per cent.less than all the countries south of the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, which contain about 50,000 000 peo- le, while Canada contains less 5.000,000.trade buy y during the 11 years of its operation, abeat $55,000,000 more than she sold ua, and from the year 1850 to 1884 she purchared $200,000, 000 more from us than she sold us.She has constantly been anxious to renew the trade relations with the United States which we mw fit to terminate, but every overture on her part has been met with a rebuff on ours.\u201d The proposition to construct a number of vast artificial lakes in the Northwest into whioh the waters of the Mississippi could be stored ia the fluud season in not so startling as at first appears.Engineers who have looked into the matter are said to declare that it is practicable and that by damming up some of the gress canons, artificial lakes sufficient for the pur could be secured.Many of the New ngland rivers are thus controlled tor milling purposes, and the present scheme is but an application of the same principle upon a vast scale.The feals of modern engineering are something amazing, but if the annual floods aloug the Mississippi and the Missouri can be prevented by thus corraling the waters before they have time to upread desolation and ruin over the thousands of miles of lowlands to the south, the achievement will add millions to the wealth of the nation and give security to thousands of toilers in the great river vall-ya of the West.MISCELLANEOUS.London.May 29.\u2014The great Russian railway into the heart of Asia is at last a fact, and a traveller can now go from London almoat to the houndary of the Chinese empire in 12 days.The immense strategic and commercial importance of this event is not indicated at all by anything visible in the great London dailies, Each contains & small press despatch aunoune- ing the opening of the road, bat no special article or editorial comment appeared in any of them.When one remembers the great exeibe- ment that once clustered around Merv, through which the road passes, and now Horst, and the fact that the new road places the whole of the Russian army only 5 days distant from North India and much nearer to Afghanistan, one is inclined to believe that Englaud's fits of fear of Runsia\u2019s encroachments are of an intermittent and epileptio character.From St Petersburg the new line runs through Moscow, Wormnesh, Rostov and Viadi-Kavkas.Here the route is barred by the Caucasus range, over which the line is not yet completed, and you have to travel 18 hours over a pass 8000 feet high, 2000 feat higher than the St Gothard and Simplon.With scenery twice as wild as that of Switzerland, the Caucasus will he the great summer re- wort of the future.On the other side you take a steamer to Baku, cross the Caspian Sea to Ossoum Ada, where the new ling begins, and go 8 thousand miles further through Kesil- Arvat, Geok-Tepe, Askabad, Merv aud Bok- hares, to Samarcand.The road is well built and thoroughly equipped, and Cook's tourists will be eating hard-boiled eggs at the tomb of Tamerlane from now onward, providing the present necessity for special government permits can he got over.The cost in less than £50.The commercial importance of the new route is very great.The rich valley of the Oxus, which is the Missinsippi of Contral Asia, now opened up, had no European outlet before ~ave by caravan, The resources of this territory are of all kinds, mineral and agricultural, and all are undeveloped.The effect on civilization of the new line can better be imagined than described, considering the fact that ail the great mechanical advances and the highest civilization of the vineteenth century will now be carried into barbaric Asis.The effect on school geographies is nut to be even surmised.Russia has steadily been pursuing & policy of encroachment in the East, and this explains her action in protecting her western frontier.Evidently her object is to gain in the East, and she proposes to be let alone in the West.One thing that is very certain is that the new road is a pretty good guaranty for peace for some time to come.The ruad will greatiy affect the attie tude of England toward Russia, on account of the military advantages it gives the latter.China, however, has the mst reason to feel nervous, as any number of Russian troops can be mesned at Bamaracand at short notice, The growth of London, Eogland, is something marvellous.A recent article in Chambers Journal states that within the metropolitan police district, an area of 688 square miles, ox- cluxive of the city proper, there is à population of 5,360 000, that the number of polic+ is 13,800 and that during the year 1886 12252 new houses were built, making twenty-nine miles of new streets.To judge the » of railway trains, says a Western paper, the most accurate method, and the one most in use by experienced railroad men, is to count the number of rail joints the train passes over in twenty seconds.The rails in nearly all cases are thirty feet in length, and the number passed over in tweaty seconds is the npeed in miles per hour a train is running.Fur instance, if & passenger sitting in a sleeper can count thirty clicks of the wheels on a rail joint in twenty seconds the train is running at the speed of thirty miles an hour, There is likely to be a still further shrinkage in the value of silver, if the accounts recentiy received of the discovery of vast silver deposits in Australis are well founded.It is stated that silver mining is being prosecuted with remarkable energy in the Broken Hills district, New South Wales, and the latest reports received indicate that there was a weekly output, although only three furnaces were in operation, of 74,000 ounces of bullion.At present prices the value of this output would be $66,000 a week, or $3,435,000 a year.There is about $40,000,000 worth of silver bullion annually mined in the United States, but if the mining district in New South Wales is developed as anticipated, seeing that it covers an ares of twenty square miles, it is quite probable that Australia will soon rival the output of the United States.Such & result must inevitably depreciate the intrinsic value of the silver coinage of the world, In 1859 the market value of silver was $124 per ounce, while the current market quotation is about 88 cents, & shrin of nearly one-third in value.Should À throw tens of millions of ounces anneally into the market, a farther te to about 60 cents would not bs extrac! ° Now is the time to use 8 weak solution of paris

that any party which supports regulation, license or tax enters into alliance with such traffic and becomes the actual foe of the state's weltare, That the rights of suffrage rests on no mere circumstance of race, color, sex or nationality, conferred on the councils to refuse license witb the obligation that compensation shall be made declares that\u2014 to the person deprived.Compensation to people for refusing them liberty to continue to do 8 ! wrong, the recognizing the practice of evil as a °\" otherwise, to regulate the drink traffic, be- vested right, has shocked the moral sense of cause they provide for the continuance and aflord no protection against its ravages.We hold that the proper attitude of Christians to- foot to defeat the clause, which daily grows by L ward this traffic is one of uncomprumising opposition, * ® Voluntary total abstinence from all intoxicants is the true ground of personal civil governments.This is sound, and those temperance people in our province who are fussing about amendments to the license law would do well to take it to heart, MENTIONING the fact of the Dominion government giving a subsidy of $3200 a mile to the railway from Fort Covington to Massena, the Malone Palladium is constrained to remark\u2014 Is it not remarkable that the Canadian government should pay subsidies to build railways outside of the Dominion?It seems a strange thing for any government to do.The U.S.goverument attends to business every time, and on every car of rails for this road built on American territory with Canadian money it levies its usual tribute in the shape of custom duties.VALLEYFIELD.The worst storm known fur years, visited this place this (Wednesday) afternoon.The damage done to property is very heavy, and | cannot yet be fully estimated.Among other : damage, may be noticed, the paper mills two large chimneys, which were blown down, part of builer house destroyed and roof of the mill damaged.Cossett\u2019s lumber mill was unroofed ;
