spawning beds and diminishes the fish produced, his attitude on the question bein upon the reports of the superintendent of fish culture, Mr, Samuel] Wilmot.An ex-inspector of fisheries for Nova Scotis, Mr.Rogers, takes the directly opposite position, and Jites statistics to show that ü waters into which vast quantities of sawdust have been emptied\u2014the St.John (N.B.) river and harbor, for example\u2014there has been an increase in THE SHAD FISHERY from 428 barrels in 1878 to 4,048 barrels in 1802,and *' the salmon and alewife fisheries give evidence in the saine direution, though not so pronounced.\u201d The St.Joha river is alleged to be \u2018\u2018 the most sawdust-covered river in Canada, except, haps, the Ottawa\u201d Mr, Wilmot declares that water polluted by sawdust cannot be utilized for planting fry in, while Mr.MacFarlane, an analyst of the Inland Revenue Department, who tested the Ottawa water, found no evidence of sawdust having injured the water in any way.Mr.Rogers claims that hundreds of thousands of sslmon fry planted in clean rivers in various parts of Canada show no results; and it is a notorious fact that while tens ot millions of young salmon were turned into the waters of Untario for a period of twenty years, as an expense of tens of thousands of dollars, nol a barrel of salmon Aas ever been marketed in the whole of that province, The Fisheries Department, through Mr.Wilmot,claims that young salimon have been killed by \u2018breathing\u2019 sawdust into their gills ; whereas the ex-inspector alloges that \u2018to have it go out before an intelligent public, through the reports of a Government department, that fish breathe is most humil.isting, because everybody knows they do not; that they have no lungs to enable them to do so.\u201d At various other points these AUTHORITIES ON FIBIL come into direct confliot, the quarrel being ; à very pretty one.We have reason to suppose that the failure of the fish Natoheries to prodace the results at one time aatioi.pated for them is leading the officials to ook around for excuses for their failure.After over twenty years of experimenting in planting young salmon in the waters of Ontario, the Department discovered that the water of the streame was too warm ; that there was too much sediment from the draina of farm lande; and other drawbacks.Nothing was said of the fact that the salmon is, in part of ite yearly life, a salt water fish,and that the young saimon were being fed b y the Government into the maws of the lake pickerel.he excuse for failure in other givers, it appears, is sawdust ; and while sawdust as an article of food may not be of much value to the fry, it would seem, according to ex-inspector Rogers, not to be particularly detrimental.There

Gleaner, may be of interest, for he was one of the first settlers of the 4th concession.He was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, where he was born in 1810.He served bis time as a silk-weaver in Paisley, and when he had earned enough to pay his passage sailed for Canada.After a six weeks\u2019 voyage, he arrived in Montreal in the spring of 1831 with only half a crown in his pocket.At that time the wharfage Was so poor in Montreal that he was brought ashore in a rowboat.After working some time us a hired hand, both in Canada and New York State, he determined to become a farmer and bought a lot in the 4th con.of North Georgetown (now the parish of St Louis de Gonzague) county of Beauharnois, where he passed the remainder of hislife.He, like many others similarly situated, had many difficulties to contend with.Theland was in a state of nature, flat and, at first, very wet, but.gradually ditches were made and the land proved fertile, During this time provisions could only be procured from farmers located on the banks of the river Chatean- gay, four miles distant, which had to be carried on the shoulder through the almost trackless forest.As soon as he had a comfortable home provided, he was married, in 1839, to Helen Balfour, a native of Paisley, Scotland, who survives him, aged 85 years.Notwithstanding he was brought up a weaver and had everything to learn, he became a successful farmer, and for many years his farm has been one of the best in the parish, presenting an abundant reward of patient and persevering industry on the part of a Canadian pioneer.CAZAVILLE.The detective who, some years ago, spent a while here trying to ferret out who burnt Chretien\u2019s hotel, paid a visit to this place last week, but on i what business has not as

posted, for it is a fraud of the oleomargarine stamp.He said butter factories in the neighborhood he lives deal considerably in a composition which is called butter, and the formula for making it is this: 100 gullons of milk (not skimmed) which as become slightly\u201d soured, is put into a churn and churned until itis broke, then there is added a powder called pepsin (probably somerelation to the black pepsin we heard somuch about a short time ago), which turns thecburned milk into acurd.300tbs glucose and 6001bs of store butter, collected from the stores around the country (most people know that this store butter is of various grades and colors) is now melted and poured into the churn and along with the curd is allowed to stand, with ice to cool it, until4t comes ta the temperature of 60°, when it is again churned until #11 is properly mixed.This composition costs about 10c per 1b and is readily sold in Boston and New York at 20¢, and sometimes for more.He stated that Kansas

butter buyers of the resolutions passed at St Hyacinthe may lead to direct shipments, the Montreal Gazette comments as follows: It is safe to say that no member of the cheese trade here will be kept awake nights by f that collectable and a large quantity of 1 Ey Scars.tha \u2018goods that can be changed into the threat held out by our contemporary will result in \u2018anything unpleasant to

painted it.Briefly, the idea is too ridiculous for serious discussion.AR any one who cares to consider all the pros and cons will readily admit.With regard to the system of weighing cheese in Montreal, it is the only business-like method, and, besides, the salesman or factoryman, if he has reason to believe that injustice has been done him, is, by the resolution adopted by the Butter and Cheese Association, given every chance to demonstrate that such is the case.What more can the farmer want than to have cheese in dispute retested in the presence of a representative of the Quebec Dairymen\u2019s association?Tte church count of St Anicet gives a Catholic population 0?1450, divided into 221 French and 56 Irish families.There were 69 baptisms, 12 marriages, and 25 burials during The produets of the Valleyfield cotton mills exhibited at Chicago met withappreciative comment from Herr Latzko, of Bruün, Austria, à good authority, who examined them critically.In a letter to a

progress theCanadian textile industries bave made.The exhibits were highly creditable in all the departments\u2014in cottons and woolens as well as silks.Canada has, in my opinion, made more progress

on the other hand, he had the use of the paper of the foundry\u2019s customers as collateral for loans to himself.Of late, he asked Mr Boyd to sign accommodation notes, which were cashed in the Jacques Cartier bank, the Merchants\u2019 bank of Halifax, and the of that paper, amounting to $72,000, or of the loans obtained from the bank of B.N.A.on the furmers\u2019 notes, none of the money went to the foundry, although by MrSomerville\u2019s suspension it becomes liable for its payment.Apart from this paper, Boyd & Co.are due little, $11,015, a small amount considering the large quantity of material the establishment daily uses and the number of hands employed.As the matter stands, Boyd & Co.suspend with $103,763 of liabilities, of which 1 $92,746 is for money obtained by i MrSomerville.To pay this there are $177,000 of assets.In this is included $60,000 of accounts due and money.The present prospect is, that the creditors of Boyd & Co.will ; be paid in full.A large proportion of; the assets consist of buildings and machinery,which would realizelittle if \u2018put to the hammer; would, in fact, ibe of small value to any body else \u2018than Mr Boyd, who has created the business and understands ite special lines of manufactures.The benefit the works of Boyd & Co.have been to \u2018the villages of Athelstan and Hunt- ingdon and to the district at large, is fully realized, and there is a strong feeling to keep them going.To have them closed would be a public loss.That works which give employment to many hands and which are of great utility and convenience to the farmers, should be shut up not be- cause-they are not successful, but from Mr Boyd having backed the notes of an outsidé-partner, would afford cause for regret.The banks know that the foundry is their beat asset, and that to shut it up would be to injure their own prospects of recouping their loss, and so they will keep it going on as usual under Mr Boyd\u2019s care.That, however, can only be a temporary arrangement, and when the proper time comes it will be for Mr Boyd's friends to see if something cannot be done by which he will be enabled to go on again on his own account.Meanwhile the public will understand that the assignment does not close the works either at Athelstan or Huntingdon, that they are going on as they did before the trouble, and that orders are just as welcome to Mr Boyd and as carefully and promptly attended to as they ever were.So well are the facts concerning his position understood in this neighborhood, Eastern Townships.Of the proceeds | Surplus of asseta.$73,614 44 The books of Mr Somerville have not yet been fully audited but the additional information received shows a large increase in liabilities.There has to be added to the un- -secured creditors $6391 and the secured creditors stand for $28,880.The worst feature is the fact that has come to light that the estate is responsible for $53,000 discounted by the Eastern Townships bank.That with the amount obtained from the Jacques Cartier bank absorbs Mr \u2018Somerville\u2019s three-fourths share in | the foundry, which, so far as the \u2018general creditors of Mr Somerville , are concerned, ceases to be an asset |to them.Leaving out the claims secured by mortgage, his liabilities ,now stand at $194,659.In the face | of these figures it would be mislead- {ing the creditors to encourage them to expect more than a nominal dividend.The banks, with their hold | on the three estates, the foundry, the {organ factory, and Mr Somerville\u2019s, are going to fare well, but that much of what is due to the men, women, | and children of this neigborhood will be returned to them we see no prospect.When the official report is made there may be a change but it is rather to be hoped for than expected.We reprint the statement of last week with the corrections aud additions that have been made.UNSECURED.- BILLS PAYABLE.Sarah White, Powerscourt.$ 450 Wm.Caldwell,

frugal babite, their failure should hea warning particularly ta people living in the country to pus their savings in chartered banks op the government savings banks.I they will consider for a moment thas the country agency of a chartered bank has a circulation of at least forty thousand dollars, twenty thou sand dollars current deponits withoas interest, and probably sixty toeigh thousand dollars at three and a r cent.interest, while the private nker has no circulation, little or no deposits without interest.and is paying five per cent.on nearly all big deposits, and seven per cent.when he

does.Oh, Flora, let us coms away.\u201d After a few days they went ; and John bade Flora good-bye, and thanked herfor all she had done; but Le took noleaveot Jessica, Only a little brown boy brought

and Granads, and Seville; and the younger was always very quiet and subdued, and secomed anxious to get home to England.At last one evening Williams and Talbot arrived at Victoria station in London, and hither came Mr, Nevill to meet them, \u201cPapa,\u201d said Jessica, \u2018\u2018don\u2019t you remember Flora?\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d said Mr.Nevill grufly, staring at the \u201cmaiden lady.\u201d

had the two of them been humbugging about Girton?If so, how the deuce was he to find even Flora?He sat down and began another letter to Girton, this time addressed to Miss Williams, to be forwarded ; but he hesitated a little about sending it, so much was bis foar increasing that neither would this letter find the person to whom it was written.And he sat for hours staring at the envelope, ready stamped and addressed, *\u2018Miss Williams, Girton College, Cambridge.To be forwarded\u201d\u2014and he bit his nails, and answered croesly if any one apoke to him, and felt his heart and bis hope sick unto death within him, : Meanwhile Captain Farquhar's first epistie had been read and ridiculed by every one of Miss Talbot's chums, none of whom had a clue to the mystery.But though the jest of receiving à letter which was almost a love-letter from an unknown man was too to be needleszly explained, she hadaguessatths trath herself, Privately she wrote to Flora :\u2014 \u201c My coop WiLLiaMs,\u2014Whn was that malapert miss who borrowed my name to inspect a lover iu ?\u2018Lhe lover is looking for her.I send his missive, and leave the matter in your hands.Students of Moral Philosophy never regard aifairs of the heart.Yours, \u201c Tausor.\u201d Flora, being sensible, at once on receipt of this letter, ran to her mother and told her the outlines of Jessicr's history.Aad Mes, Williams, being still more sensible, wrote a letter to John explaining the whole tan Englishman\u201d and & va very vegue-hies that be had already selected course of errors.Flora, however, took the een, ie - IT BN: pre :antion of reading her mother's letter be- | te ep ARIS EES So ions spoiiing uf the com tore 18 bo pisos\u2019, and mede Mra, compose oue totally diferent.* You w.ust say, my desr mother, that you wrile for yows daughter, who is just going to marry a maa uamed Snith, and s\u2014wslking ous with him, meuding his stockings, or whatever you choose.\u201d \u201cMy dear child,\u201d said simpie Mere Wil- lisme, *\u2018there is no such person.Are you afraid this Captain Farquhar may fall in love with you?\u201d \u2018* Nou in the least,\u201d ssid Flora coolly; \u201cbut I should greatly dislike bis surmising that [ was in love with hin.Wien you have finished that sentence, mother, say ws have found out that he wants to renew his acquaintance with Talbot, and shall be sappy to assisy him in doing so, as we know iv will be agreeable to her.\u201d * No, my dear Flora,\u201d ssid Mrs.Williams.\u201cI am older than you, and I am quite sure it is imprudent to give this gentleman any hint as to Jessica's partiality.I shell say, * Though we are, of course, unable to answer or the young lady that his doing so will seem to her desirable.\u2019 \u201d \u201c* Well, mother-=thon go on and beg him to coms here on Saturday and stay with us till Monday, so that we may take him to see her, Don\u2019t you see, mother, you and 1 are to dine at Nevill Lidge on Saturday, aud Jessica has written to say one of the men has fuiled, aud won't wa, for pity's sake, bring some one, Just as if our men wera plentiful as blackberries!

obsequies of any.man or woman wh) has been greatly respested in the tribe.Upon the death of such a one, men in the prime of early man- bood meet together near the lodge of the deceased, divest themselves of all clothing but the breech-cloth, make two incisions in the left arm, and under the loop of flesh so made thrust a willow branch, having on it sprays of leaves.With the blood dripping upon the green branches hanging from their arms and shoulder-blades, the men movs silently in single file to the lodge whero the dead lies; there, ranging themselves in a line, shoulder to shoulder, and marking the rythm of the tune by beating together two amall willow rods, they sing in unison the funeral song.There isa violent contrast between the bleeding singers and their vocal utterauces, tor the music in its major strains suggests sunshine, birds, and verduro, and has » eet, happy movement, Nevertheless, there must be some-intent harmony between the song and the ceremony.Musio, the Indian believes, has power to reach the unseen world.The spirit of the dead man can hear the song as it leaves the body, and the glad cadences are to cheer him as he fives from those who have been dear to im on earth.He hears only, he cannot see\u2014so the song is for him; the bleed wounds of the singers are expressions ol the loss felt by the friends of thie dead ; his kindred can take note

a sufficient amount of gastric juice to digest the food, although a very little food may have been eaten; hence the frequent complaint, \u2018It makes no difference whether I eat much or little ; the smallest quantity of anything distresses me.\u201d Such a person has dyspepsia in an aggravated form, from baving had it for a long time.The limited su of gastriz juice is the result of or Dud blood, poor All the blood of a dyspspticis bad because the food is imperfectly digested and the blood which it makes is imperfect, hence contains but a small amount of the elements which compose the gastric juice.The always successful remedy istolive out of doors night and day, exercising until a very little tired ; then rest, exercise again unuil ve hungry, until hungry enough to feel that plain bread and butter taste deliciously ; take a very small amount, such as by observation oauses no discomfort whatever; then go on as before until very hungry again, take a little fresh meat at the next meal and a bit of bread crust; make the next or third meal of she day of berries, grapes, fruit or melons, Persevering in this way, almost any dys- peptie will flad himsel! gatting better and tter every day, because every breath of out-door air taken relieves the blood of some of ite impurities, and every step, every motion of the hand or arm\u201d carries off out of the system, through the pores of the skin or otherwise a greater or less number of impure blood atoms; the blood being thus relieved of nore of its impurities,makes a better quality of gastric juioe; this iu turn digesta the food more thoroughly, imparting mere strength, giving & more vigorous appetite and the man is getting well before he knowa it.The gizzard or stomach of a shicken when opened is found to contain grains of corn or wheat and small pebbles.The action of the muscles of the gizzard is to keep the grains of corn and sand in a constant circular motion, cansing attrition, the sand being harder than the grains ; hence the action is a kind of grinder; so with the hu maa stomach.In dyspepsia the muscles of the stomach are too weak to perform this grinding process and the hu man mill works so slowly that the food begins to decay before it is properly manipulated.All dyspeptica are weak; every muscle of the body is weak and those of the stomach have their corresponding share of debility; bat they will get stroager inevitably by making better blood, by giving abetter digestion inthe way above deqoribed.Biliousness also causes dyspeptic symptoms.hen & man is bilious, it mesas that he has an excess of
