reasonably says: The equal rights of all nations touse the high sens forall lawful purposes of commetee, navigation, fishing or hunting is now so universally recognized: the United States have been so constantly the defender of this right: we have so vigorously opposed all attempts of Great Britain to search our vessels in time of peace; we have claimed so vehemently the right of fishing in Canadian waters sharply up to the three-mile line from shore, that obviously we must show some very plain nnd cogent reasons to justify onr course in Behring Sea.What reasons can or have been

sensation in connection with the Cronin case today was the finding of the surgical case and clothes of the murdered physician and the forging of another link in the chain of circumstances that clanks around the conspirators.For some time complaints have been made to the sewer department of the Lakewood station that the sewer at the intersection of Evanston and Buena avenues was flush and running over.Today two or three sewer cleaners were detailed to investigate the trouble.The cover was removed from the manhole in the centre of the street and with long poles the workmen prodded among the rubbish beneath the water.Finally a solid resistance was encountered and the workmen realized that something more than alluvial deposit was causing the trouble.After some hooking and digging two valises were unearthed, one of leather and the other the remnants of a paper one.In the leather valise was found Dr Cronin\u2019s prescription book with several prescriptions bearing his signature.The paper valise dropped to pieces as it was pulled out and from it rolled a mass of tattered clothing that bore evidence of having been cut in strips with a knife.The only intact garment was the vest, which was in the centreand whichencircled thedoctor's case of surgical instruments.The clothing had evidently been cut and the buttons removed, in the hope that they would the sooner drop apart and be borne away by water into the lake.The surgical case and prescription book bore the doctor's name, and they, as well as every article of outward clothing, were recognized by the Conkline and a dozen other friends as the property of the murdered physician.The most damning of all circumstances for the prisoners is the fact that all this was found only one block from the spot where the bloody trunk was discovered after it had heen thrown from the wagon on the night of May 4, or only halt a mile south from where the body of Dr Cronin was found in the catch basin.Chicago, Nov.12.\u2014At the Cronin trial today the most important witness was Pauline Hoertel, a washerwoman, who testified that she passed theCarlson cottage between eight and nine o\u2019clock on the night of the murder.She saw a white horse drawing © buggy, in which there were two men, drive up to the cottage.The larger man, who appeared like a gentleman, got out of the buggy, and taking a satchel or box out of the buggy went up the steps and entered the cottage.The driver of the white horse at once turned around and drove back towards Chicago.She heard sounds in the house.Itseemed to meas if somebody wascrying \u2018O, God!\u201d and \u2018Jesus,\u2019 and sounded as if a hard blow came and as if somebody fell and it was all through.I could not say what it wos.The man who went into the cottage went in unhesitatingly, and it seemed to me as if the door was open or as if someone opened it for him as he came up at the steps.Pitteburg, Pa.Nov.10.\u2014The anniversary of theexecution of the Chicago

financial success, there being a large surplus after paying all expenses.The number of visitors is given as 25 millions.The exhibition was exceptionul among exhibitions in other regards than its immense attendance.It had a distinctively political and national influence\u2014it assisted to postpone the inevitable war with Germany and it defeated Boulanger.THE elections last week across the border resulted in improving the Democratic position.Iowa, for the first time in 34 years, voted down the Republican ticket, and Ohio and West Virginia did the same.New York went more strongly Demoeratic than before.That this indicntes a reaction from the presidential election is generally accepted.The four new States, Northand South Dakota, Montana, aud Washington bave been formally recognized.Ox theevening of the Gth Mr Mercier met the members of the club National and made a long speech, which was received with enthusiasm.After defending the record of the government, financial and otherwise, he went on to reply to Mr Chapleau's criticisms of the Jesuit act and made the extraordinary statement that hehad promised to settle the matter by paying to the Jesuits secretly hulf a million dollars.In proof of this, Mr Mercier reud this extract from a letter which le declured was written by Mr Chapleau to & dignitary at Rome: The Jesuits will get nothing, and they will agitate in vain, to the great prejudice of religion, the question being one on which passions and rejudices are easily excited, The Protestant members of thelegislature are too strongly opposed to the Jesuits to consent to this restitution, This is evident to all those who know anything of the men and the subject, * * The society has no chance of regaining possession of the estates directly.Nevertheless, Monseigneur, understand that it is proper that ther should obtain a good shure of the compensation.They (the government) engage al ther secretly to pay the society the sum of $500,000 francs.Mr Chapleau cannot allow a charge like this to pass in silence, and until he bas had an opportunity of defending himself, in fairness judgment must be suspended.Mercier was exceedingly bold in speaking of the Jesuit estates, declaring they had been stolen by King George and that Catholic legislators \u201cwere bound to submit themselves toreligiousautho- rity,\u201d all which was listened to approvingly by that loyal officer, Colonel Rhodes.He closed his speech by his customary Jesuitical claptrap about what he had done for the Protestant minority and calling upon all men of good heart to unite in supporting the National party.Among the speakers who followed him was Mr Robidoux, who extolled his master.As if it were not bad enough to call King George a thief before a Canadian audience, Mr Mercier repeated his accusation at Baltimore on Tuesday in the presence of an ae sembly of thousands of Americans, who naturally cheered themselves hoarse over a minister of the crown so pandering to their prejudices against everything British.Hewould never have done so had he not been encouraged by those whose duty it was to have vindicated the honor of the sovereign in the first place.The spectacle of the Protestant members of the legislature bowing to his infamous piece of legislation, the refusal of the Dominion government and of the house of commons to checkmate bim, and, above all, the governor- general's celebrated speech to the equal rights\u2019 deputation, hasembold- ened him to accuse the grandfather of our Queen, before an audience of Americans, of being a thie].As a matter of fact, the accusation is false as the man who uttered it.Altho the Jesuits estates were conSecated in the name of the King, it was on the authority of the statute that society, dangerous to the publie safety, and of his prerogative, by the law of nations, us conqueror.TERE THE matter of the $60,000 remains where it was.The meeting of the Protestant committee, held at Quebec on the 4th, which was expected to definitely settle whether the money would be taken or refused, ended in reaffirming the position alrendy taken by the board, that it is purely administrative in its powers, and, therefore, cannot \u201cformally accept or refuse said grant, conditionally or otherwise, the committee holding that it has no power to refuse any grant accorded by the legislnture for the purposes of education.\u201d That the committee is a purely administrative body is open to doubt.The fact that its members areselected as representative of the denominn- tions to which they belong, in itself tells against such a contention, for if only a sort of supplementary governmental department, the position and créed of its members would be of no consequence.Waving this, however, and acvepting the commniittee\u2019s own definition of its powers, a brief examination of the proceedings relative to the $60,000 shows plainly that, whatever may be the scope of the committee in other matters, the legis- luture and the executive conferred upon it a representative character in relation to that grant.The Jesuits estates\u2019 act was out of the run of all legislation known to British practice.It provided for the payment ofacluiin which its own preamble declares.wns not a legal one and for its distribution by an authority unknown to our laws.Neeking to justify so extraordinary a payment out of the common treasury, it was proposed by its authors thut a set-off should befurnished bya grant to the Protestants in proportion to their population.If the Protestants accepte such indemnity, then they condonc us the irregularities of the act und ratified ite principle.The next dithi- culty was to find a body that would be representative of the Protestants to whom to submit the offer.The synods, conferences, and assemblies of the different denominations ought to have been selected, but they were not, Mr Mercier made the proposal and the legislature endorsed it, that the Protestant committee of instruction be chosen, and ita authority toaccept or refuse was recognized.À special function was thus thrust upon the committee and with it a special power.In all his letters, Mr Mercier expressly recognizes that the committee ure chosen to represent the Protestants in this matter and are free to accept, amend, or reject the tender he makes.Thus, in his letter of the 11th June, he tells the committee that he wants them to\u2014 Decide formally, and in very clear terms, whether they accept the said grant of $60,000, either in the wa y mentioned in the act, or in any other way.as fair compensation of the $400,000 to be paid to the Catholic community.In subsequent comments he speaks of the committee as acting in the name of the Protestants and on behalf of the Protestants, plainly recognizing that they had been, for this special purpose, constituted agents and referees of the minority, and that he would abide by their decision.It will not do, therefore, with regard to this matter, for the committee to fall back upon the terms of their appointment.They have been invested with specinl powers for its disposal and their plain duty is either to sny they accept the offered duty or decline it.So fur they have done neither: they merely tell Mr Mercier that they will not either refuse or accept the bag of $60,000, but if he will simply leave it on their table they will divide its contents.That is not what he wants, for it would not improve the government's position.What is sought for is an acquittance from the Protestants of all claims that they may have for the passage of so outrageousan act that their mouths may be shut by the solatium tendered.That the committee has acted so far in the manner the high character of its members would lead the public to expect, cannot be alleged.There has been a deplorable vacillation: an evident desire to get hold of the $60,000 without committing themselves to the declaration Mr Mercier requires in return, that it is compensation to the Protestants for the $400,000; and a secking to shrink responsibility by hiding under legal terms and phrases.That the committee, with one or two exceptions, condemn the Jesuits\u2019 act and will not accept the $60,000 if understood to be an endorsement of it, is certain, That being so, they should act straightforwardly and send that answer to Mr Mercier.To expect that be will pay them the money on any other terms than their granting, in the name of the Protestants of the province, an ncquittance of his misdeed, is weak to childishuess, It is questionnble if they have not already compromised the Protestants.Their demurring to the sufficiency of $60,000, their claim of interest, and complaint ne to not being entrusted with the principal, does not harmonize with their pretension as to being uw purely administrative body, and shows that they really think themselves representative.To accept the $060,000 is to endorse the principle of the uct,\u2014that King George's confiscation of the estates was robbery, that grants to purely religious purposes, ua the Gulf missions, out of the public: funds is constitutional, and that the Vatican has à voice in our That the committee will assent to admissions of a kind so fatal to the peace and good government of the province we cannot believe.They are not going tocommit the Protestants to the principle sought by Mercier, that outrages upon conscientious convictions enn be compensated by money.® 7 HEMMINGFORD.The memory of the oldest inhnbi- tant of these parts reacheth not back ton season in which the first ten days of the month of November were so uniformly plensant as that portion of the present month has been.Several days of last week, and Sunday lust especially, were genuine Indian suminer days in everything but the luck of the smoky atmosphere which usually prevails at that delightful season of the year.The roads hereabouts are in excellent condition and as a consequence of this and of the fine wenther prevailing, there has been a good deal of stir and movement in our little village of lute.Business Las improved somewhat during the last week, but the complaint of the scarcity of money is general.The Presbyterian and Methodist bodies in this place united in a Thanksgiving service on Thursday last.The service was held in the Methodist church.The sermon\u2014a very appropriate and interesting one \u2014was preached by the Rev Mr Robertson, pastor oi thel\u2019vesbyterian church, The Rev Mr Lett, pnstor of the Methodist church, was present and took part in the services of the vecasion.The attendance was rather larger than usual on such occasions, but, in view of the good roads and fine weather existing, was not solarge as it should have Leen.The collection tuken up is tobegiventothe Protestant Lunatic Asylum.Specialcollections are to betakenupinthe Protestant churchds of the place, the proceeds of which are to be added to the sum received at the Thanksgiving service and to be applied to the same object.The Royal Templars gave aun entertainment at the town ballon Tuesday evening last.The attendance wns good and all present were highly pleused with the program of musical selections, vocal and instrumental, recitations, &c., gone through with, The part taken in the entertainment by a young lady from Fort Coving- ton, was especially pleasing and cfiec- tive.Her recitations showed admirable taste in selection nnd were delivered with great grace und power.The work of clearing out and deepening the bed of the creek running through the large swamp lying to the southwest of this village, hus just been completed and the committee appointed by the municipal council of the township to examine and report upon the work are, it is said, well satisfied with the manner in which the improvements have been made.The work has been done «nder the superintendence of Mr Alex Mcllymont.It is believed that the effect of the improved drainage resulting from the improvements in question, will be greatly to increase the productiveness of the ncighbor- ing swamp lands.The choir of the Methodist church are to give an Old Folks\u2019 concert this week.The entertainment will be somewhat of a novelty here and will, no doubt, be well attended should weather and roads be favorable.The Free Masons of this place attended service in a body at the Presbyterian church last Sunday.An appropriate sermon was preached by the pastor of the church, who is the chaplain of the lodge.The lodge now numbers about thirty members and, judging from their appearance Inst Sunday, is composed, upon the whole, of very good material.HALLERTON, A very enthusiastic meeting was beld on Saturday evening at the house of Mr Thomas Kenny, nearly every family Leing represented.It was an adjourned meeting, to talk about the purchaseof a church organ.Subscriptions came in so liberally that a committee of two was appointed to make the purchase, and ts there secmed a good prospect of a surplus from the organ fund, it was decided to begin a bell fund and devote that surplus to it, in addition to the subscriptions already promised toward thebell.Furthermore, it was government.decided to begin a series of sociables, the first one to be held at the house of Mrs Charles Ellerton this week, in order to take advantage of the present fine weather, It being deemed advisable to defer the thanksgiving service from Thurs day until Sunday lust, it was accordingly done, the churels being suitably trimmed for the occusion, with wheat, onts, corn and apples, ORMSTOWN, The cnse of Sangster va, Hood has been finally disposed of.The matter in dispute was the division of the Ormatown concession cheese factory on the dissolution ot partnership.The ease went against Mr Hood in the lower eourts, when he sought to eurry it to the supremo court at Ot- tuwa.On its being called on Tues- duy, MrDuclos,representinæSnngster, moved to quash the appeal for want of jurisdiction, claiming that on the record it did not appear that two thousand dollurs or nuy amount was in controversy.Mr MacLeunan, for appellant, claimed that the action, being in licitation for the sale of property and the title being in question, future rights would be bound by the result.Ie also read aifidavits to show that the value of the property was over two thousand dollars.The appeal was quashed with costs against Hood.A letter has been received from the Rev Jom McDougall, written from Yokohama on Oct 23d.In it he snys: \u201cOur voyage wis very stormy.This is the second day on which wo could sit on deck and there wore only two others in which we conld sit in the suloon without hanging on to some solid fastening.For twelve days all sleep was impossible except the sleep of exhaustion.When I did try to sleep 1 dreamed of tobogzan- ing down Mount Royal, and ricochetting down the Rocky Mountains, and parachuting from Kilinuumeljare, and then sky-rocketing I don't know where.On the third day out, the waves begau brenking over the ship, and on the tenth the hen-coops and other light structures on deck wore curried away.During those twelve days the port oles were not opened ounce to give a breath of fresh air.One night the glass of one of the saloon skylights was broken by a wave, and the saloon and some of the staterooms were deluged, but ours was quite dry, The sky-lights were ull battened down, the stair openings closed and the saloon was in darkness all day.We had soveral storms of sleet, and it rained every day.preially Mrs McDougall, but ave quite well now.\u201d We have both boon sick, es- FRANKLIN CENTRE.Saturday night proved a lively one for the customofticers.The collector at this port, Col Rogers, was reinforced by Sub-collector Boyd and Special Agent Curfiss.Niebt wateh- ing id not always rewarded with success, but fate was against the breakers of the law on this occasion.The first to come in contact with Her Mijest y's servants was a team, mane wal by 3 stalwart Frenchmen, who, upon being ordered to halt, made considerable resistance, flourishing the whip over the heads of their assailants, who were, however, equal to the emergency.Tt was found that their wagon contained à quantity of poultry, which they claimed to have purchased from n brother residing near Burke, N.Y, who had a bee that day.The acknowledgment was sufficient to cause forfeiture of the whole.The culprits were then told that a stipulated amount must either be paid, or the team with contents loft in custody.Poverty, ignorance of the law, and everything that could be brought to bear upon leniency, way pled, in consequence of which the lowest limit of the law, $50, was necepted and the men took their departure.This was at 1 o'clock, am., and was quickly followed by another seizure below St Antoine, on the rock road, of a heavy londed tenn, with five barrels of kerosene, which were also brought to the custom house andsale of which will take place on Friday.The greatest interest centres in Lhe first seizure, ns it has since been ascertained that falsehood was resorted to, and that the men in question, were not smugglers, but Poultry Thieves, possibly sone of the same band who carried on their nefarions work last fall.Doubtless themen mistook theofficers for parties who had discovered the theft, and, in order to clear themselves, got deeper in the mire.Mr Thos.Rowe lost seven turkeys that night\u2014and proceeded the next day to get a warrant out for the arrest of the three Cann- dians, but up to time of writing we have not heard of any success.LAGUERRE.The sensation of the parish is n headless rooster! On the evening of the 31st October, John Leahy went out to catch and kill two young roosters to have ready for nextday's dinner.He cut off their heads below, the ears and left them.To his astonishment on going for them, ho found ono alive, and wagging ita headless neck in a most uncanny fashion.At last accounts it wasatill alive, the wound having healed, and recciving food down the open gullet.The creuture makes u noise as if nttempting to crow.Yesterday (18 duys after decapitation) Mr Leuhy sold the curiosity to young Brian O\u2019Connor, for about.$100, hall paid now and balance if the fowl lives for à certain period.The buyer is going to exhibit it.POWERSCOURT.Toduy( Wednesday )ns Ames Tessier was driving along the 1st concession, on going down a hill the harness broke, causing the

Revd.Armstrong and the Rev.J.B, Muir conducted the devotional part of the service and Dr Watson preached.Theday being fine there was much walking in the afternoon and many went hunting.In the evening

social gnthering commemorated the 35th anniversary of the induction of its pastor, Rev Jumes Watson, D.D.There wns a goodly gathering, many present being Irom a distance.After an excellent ten, the assemblage was culled to order by Andrew Somerville, Esq., ruling elder of thecongregation, who had been culled upon to act as chairman.Rev John Armstrong led in prayer.The chairman, after referring to the rarity in Canada of so long a pastorate in one church as that they were now signalizing, went on to pass a high eulogium upon Dr Watson ns a man, as a pastor, nnd as a preacher.Dr Wamsox stepped forward to reply, and began by quoting parts of two letters from Dr MacViear of Presbyterian College, Montreal, con veying the principal\u2019s kind congratulations and intimating that he would be in Huntingdon to preach anniversary sermons on Sabbath first.The speaker then thanked the ladies\u2019 society, who had deservedly assumed the name of \u201cthe willing workers,\u201d for their generous action.They had invited not only the members and fimilies of the congregation and the classes in the Sabbath-school, but also ns many of the former members of the congregation of Huntingdon and St Michael's, or Athelstan, as seemed to be within reach, and some others\u2014to concur in this celebration of the induction which took place at Huntingdon und in the present place of meeting on 8th November, 1854.To all friends present and absent Dr Watson rendered mostceordial thanks, taking special notice of the piety, the gratitude and the desire to encourage, which liad Jed them to approve of such i meeting.He did not fuil tomention how a splendid kitchen stove had been erected, the same evening, at the instance of the \u201cwilling workers.\u201d to replace an old one in the manse.Having made his reply, the minister proceeded, by request, to speak in thefollowing strain: À nativeof Aber- deunshire in Scotland, I wus the fifth son of an Old Country farmer.Des- lined from birth for the Christian riinistry, 1 took my place early in the nearest parish school to prepare for college.After four or five years\u2019 at school, I spent three months at Old Aberdeen in the Grammar school, und then entered the course of Arts in the King's University there.Having completed the course by attending for foursessious.I took my degree of A.M., and soon proceeded to Edinburgh, to attend the Divinity Hall in connection with the United Presbyterian Churely, in which I had been born and bred.After attending five short sessions at the Theological Hall, I was taken on trials and found qualified to be licensed to preach the Gospel.This was in 1848.Before long they sent me into England and I wasordained at Walker Tron works, on Tyne Side, in August, 1849.The atmosphere of the place, heavily charged night and day with noxious vapours from chemical works, proved almost fatal to me.I was obliged to resign my charge and leave in 1832, After two years my health was fully restored, and then 1 thought of going abroad.Accepted-and enconraged as a missionary to Canada, 1 took unto myself a wife every way meet for me, und we set sail for the New World, intending to see Iuntingdon in Lower Canada.Myattention had been called to this place.In Scotland, after a struggle of ten years\u2019 duration in the Established Church respecting ecclesi- ustical liberties, a disruption took place in 1843.Such a conflict naturally extended itself to England and to the Colonies.In those days the Rev Mr Walker, father of a worthy son in this neighborhood.was the Presbyterian minister of Hunting- don, St Michael\u2019 (now Athelstan), and Elgin.His was a large parish and he cultivated it diligently.But the non-intrusion controversy ruffled its equanimity.So that when a disruption took place in Canada in 1844, the foundation was laid for a disruption here.In the districts of Hunt- ingdon and St Michuel's there was à considernble numborofzealous people, some of them Dissenters before, who thought that they ought to side with the Free church, now known as the Presbyterian Church of Canada, and that they should havea newCongrega- tion of Huntingdon and St Michael's.After a short while they found that, ministers being then so few, they had hardly any prospect of forming à new congregation unless they agreed to connect themselves with another denomination, the United Secession Church, which they expected with reason would in a few years become one with the \u201cFreechurch,\u2019\u201d the Pres- byterlan Church of Canada.A petition was accordingly got up and presented to the Montreal Presbytery of which, along with three other ministers, Dr William Taylor, of Montreal, was à member.The petition was well received and Dr Taylor was appointed to organize the new Congregation of Huntingdon and St Michael's.And so it was organized by him on the 18th January, 1846, with 58 members in full communion, 34 of these being in the 8t Michael's section und 24 iu the Huntingdou section.Three were elected and inducted as Elders,\u2014George Danskin, Htephen McRen and John McIntosh, all in the office before.Preachers were sent to supply the pulpit, especially Mr Aitken and Mr Dalrymple, the lutter being a great favorite with the peopleandall but settled among them us permanent pastor.The first settled minister, however, was the Rev Peter D.Muir, who came among them in 1849.He was a Glasgow man, who studied in connection with the Relief Church in Scotland till 1847, when that body and the United Secession agreed to become one under the style of the United Presbyterian Church.Hence Mr Peter D.Muir came to Canada as a preacher of this new denomination.He came to Hunting- don and St Michael\u2019s in consequence of a petition which was sent from therethrough the Presbytery of Montreal to the Mission committee of the United Presbyterinn Church in Scotland.He laid foundations on which others have built.He became the first principal of the Huntingdon Academy.The edifice in which we are met this evening was erected in his time.He closed his ministry in this part of the country in the middle of March, 1854.I came upon the scene in June following and found that a worthy minister, named Wad- dell, had yet to supply the pulpit for two Sabbaths.When he ended lis term, I began; and having been after a while regularly called to be permanent minister, I was duly inducted in this house on 8th November, 1834.The number of members in full communion was 80, the number of elders was 8ix, a board of managers was soon constituted, and the work went on very much the same way as before, The union effected in 1861 between the United Presbyterian Church in Canada and the Presbyterian Church of Canada, under the name of the Canada l\u2019resbyterian Church, did not seern to affect us very much, and yet it helped to consolidate us and to make us feel that we were brought more into the main current of Pres- byteriunism inCanada.But ourcom munion-roll never rose above 150 names.The more comprehensive union, which constituted the present Presbyterian Church in the Dominion of Canada in the year 1873, was cordially approved by us.We went into it heartily, yet with the persuasion that it affected our circumstances considerably.It scemed clear that soon there was going to be but one congregation at Athelstan, with a minister of its own, a new church building and other improvements.It 80, we must submit to let the Athel- stan friends leave and do the best we could without their assistance.To this they seriously objected, not on personal grounds, but on claims of proprietorship.Thus we were involved in a contention, which lasted for two years, and was conducted with a good deal of keenness, and yet, by the grace of God, with an unusual amount of Christian forbearance, of mutual Christian forbear.anee., At last, this trying ordeal came to a close.On January 10th, 1878, 47 asked and agreed to receive from the Presbytery a regular dis- junction, or transference, leaving us with a communion roll of 92, which has never risen very much above that figure, moving as it has hitherto done between 97 and 101.There is only one thing that we much need, and it is a larger outpouring of the Spirit of God.I nmresolved that my ministry here shall be more than ever a ministration of the Holy Spirit.But it you will pray for us and in nny other way encourage us, we will certainly feel thankful to you.Time is short.Let us be diligent.Of those on my first roll, 12 can now be counted to Huntingdon, and 11 to Athelstan; two of the latter being south of the line; of those whose names stand on the original list, 5 can still be counted to Athelstan and 2 to Huntingdon.Mr Flynn, a divinity student, in fiuent and appropriate terms, expressed his congratulations.Rev A.Rowat gave a reading, which was well received, as did also Rev H.Gomery, and Rev J.B.Muir ex- presed his plensure at being present.The singing was under the direction of the accomplished organist of the church, Miss McGregor.On Sunday the Rev Principal Mac- Vicar of Montreal preached the anniversary sermons.Both his discourses were striking, that in the evening especinlly so, being a strong and uncompromising exposition of the teaching of revelation with regard to the resurrection, The collection at both services amounted to $32.ELGIN COUNCIL MET on Monday, 4th Nov.; members all present except Coun Donnelly.1t was moved by Coun Brown and seconded by Coun Wilson, that the proces-verbal for a certain

Catho- lie church in America Legan here this morning.It was the commencement of a triple celebration, the hundredth anniversary of the appointment of the first American Catholic bishop, the inauguration of the first congress of Catholic lnymen held in the United States and the dedication of the new National University fur Catholies.Fully 10,000 strangers were in Balt i- more to witness the promised spectacles.Four times ns many people, not counting local Catholics, ancould possibly be nccommodated, tried to get into the Cathedral, where the initial scenes were to be witnessed.So great was the pressure for seats that persons who travelled from Californian expressly to be present were among those unable to secure admission.The orator of the evening was Archbishop Ireland, of St Paul.His boldness aml intense carnestness captured the listeners from the outset.He said what the church needed was salvation armies.Tews and pew renters were only tobe regarded us necessary evils.There was great work to do, and fierce injustice existed.Socialism was not without its excuses for bring.Ile declared \u201cour work is to make America Catholic.The Catholie church will confirm and preserve as no human power or human church can the liberties of the Republic.The importance of the possession of America to the cause of religion cannot well be overestimated.The church triumphant

age.There is a revolution in the idens and feelings of men.The bur- then of the strife falls to the lot of Cntholies in America.The movements of the modern world have their highest tension in the

characterised the opening meeting.Hon Honore Mer cier made an addrees.Mr Mercier said he regarded the special invitation extended to him to speak an honor to himself and to the neighboring country from which he came.His reference to \u201cthe recently repaired despoliation of the Jesuits by the same George the Third who had despoiled the American revolutionary futhers of their liberties and rights.\u201d was cheered again and again, The restitution act by the Canadian government.he said, will long stand an honorable act Lefore maukind.As to the status of Catholies, whether in Canada or the United States, the world should know that loyalty to God menns loyalty to the state.(Cheers).To the American poet Longfellow, nnd his putheticallusions to Cutholics and Canadians, Mr Mer cier paid

windows as far as the eye could reach.At 11.30 pam.the great procession was still in jwogress, though the start was made hours previous and the marchers avernged eight abreast.THE FUTURE OF QUEBEC.THE large hall in the basement of the Jesuit church, Montreal, was crowded on Sunday afternoon to hear Mr Charles Thibault, of Waterloo, lecture before l'Union Catholique upon the future of the French Canadian race upon thiscontinent.Mr Edward MeMalhon, the president of the society, occupied the chair, and after the usual routine introduced Mr Thibault, who wits heartily welcomed.The lecture, which was an eloquent and interesting one, began with a description of the formntion of the nation and a review of the rapid progress and development of the race.The French-Canadians were God's people, because they had lionored him inall theirnational and religious doings.They had come from France to the St Lnwrence because it was the design of Providence to build up a new France upon this continent, and they had come to the north because the denizens of a rigorous climate were more hardy and more energetic thin theeffeminate races of the South, and were thus enabled to carve out n grand destiny for their children.He regret{ed the emigration of Canadinns tothe States froma national point of view, for those who lad gone were lonesome, nnd wished to come home because they alwaysloved theirhome, theirGod and their religion.But this emigration should be regarded from another standpoint, that of a true French-Canadian, who wanted to sve his race hold an overpowering influence upon this continent, and from that point of view they had every reason to be proud.Canada had not been conquered by, nt ceded to, Great Britain, and since the cession the French race had increased rapidly ns God's people, had multiplied more than the Jews ever did.No people under the sun had such an origin as the French-Canadinns, none had so much to struggle for, and none had had such glorious success.They had grown so fast that there was not room for them at home, and many had to go to the Stntes to find a livelihood.Inaddition to this the representative system of Canada was unjust to the French people, and they felt that good faith and honesty were at a low ebb.Notonly had they been able to send forth thousands to the States, but here in this country they had ousted other races from their strongholds.In the Eastern Townships a very few years ago the French Canadian population was so small that they could not get ronda opened to their farms; now they were in an nbsolute majority in eight counties of the Townships.They were also in an absolute majority in five cities in New England.There they bad bad tw combat much prejudice and overcome many appareatly insuperable obstacles.Yet they had triumphed and had forced the other races to ac knowledge that they were entitled to ashare in thegovernment ul thecoun- tryand to ail the privileges of citizens, without, however, losing theirnation- al honor.A Protestant minister had told him\u2014and he took an equally sanguine view\u2014that they would Le able to celebrate the hundredth unni- versary of the Rt Jean Baptiste so- cietyinless than fifty vearsin Boston, which would then be French-Canadian and the centre of a French-Canadian nation.New England would have bee come new France.The Yankees have the joyfulness of the Welsh, but they would soon be the contrary, for they were leuving for the West, and their places were being filled by French Canadians,whoin halfa century would be in nuabuolute majority in the New ingland states, and could thus ensure respect for their religion and their nationality.I'rotestantism in the United States was today n negation, a house divided agninst itself, which must fall.The Baptists were divided into thirteen sects, the Methodists iuto fourteen, and so it was with all the lrotestant religions; yet Ca- tholivism was growing all the time in a solid body which would soon control the continent.A celebrated author had enid that where an Englishman passed the grass would not grow again, but where à French- Canadian passed the influence of his race spread like oil upon the sen.Tliere were many places in the States termed by the Americans \u201cLittle Canada;\u201d they were the nucleus of a great French Canada, which would stretch from the St Lawrence to the Atlantie, and would be bounded only by the Gulf and the Hudson river.Mr Thibault then recounted the ditfi- culty the Frenchi-Canadians had lid with the Bishop of Darlington, who had wanted to allow the Irish to control their religion, but they had gained their point and were now assured in all their religious rights.The increase of Catholicism in the States wig proved by the fuet that there were 10,000 more Catholic voters than Protestants in New York city itself.No it was in the other eastern states, or would be soon.Lessons were drawn from the history of the Spanish nnd other races on Uhis continent to show that unless the French Canadinng wanted to recede they must, be true to their religion.Let them be steadfast in their faith and work for their church, nud nothing could interfere with the great destiny set for them by Providence, À vote of thanks to Mr Thibault way carried, and after Rev Father Bublmann, 8.J., the chaplain of the union, had added a few words of thanks, the proceedings were brought to un close by religious exercises.\u2014 Ginzette, CANADA Perey R.Todd, general passenger agent of the Canada Atlantic rail way, is reported to have resigned to aceept the position of assistant general freight agent of the New York, West Shore and Buffalo railway, Mr Todd has been connected with the Canada Atlantic ever since its inception and has been one of the most popular ofticinls of the road.The following resolution of the Protestant board of school commissioners of Montreal wis submitted to the committee at the late meeting: Whereas, the Hon l'remier Mercier, in an official letter to the Lord Bishop of Quebec.dated October 9, 1889, referring to the action of the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction, on the 23th
