30.\u2014Lord Rose- bery was the recipient this afternoon of the freedom of the city of Bristol, where he afterwards unveiled a statue of Edmund Burke.In speaking of the eminent statesman, orator and writer, the premier attributed his greatness of character to the fact that he loved reform and hated revolution.Politicians, he said, would derive a great deal of consolation from studying his life.Edmuod Burke did not rise to the occupancy of high office and did not live to see the fruits of his efforts, but success and fame followed.A large boarding house, filled with Hungarians, at Laurel Run, Pa., was blown to atoms by dynumiters Friday morning.Three inmates were killed, 4 fatally hurt, and balf a dosen seri- ilway.! ously injured.

Nov.1, 1894.WiTHoUT the slightest previous intimation, the Emperor of Germany dismissed his prime minister, Caprivi, who had served him since Bismarck\u2019s downfall.The cause is unknown.In all probability, Caprivi in some way thwarted the will of the tyrant.There has been no more absolute ruler since the death of the czar Nicholas than William of Germany.BEFORE leaving Ottawa on his trip to England, Sir John Thompson received a large deputation from Manitoba with reference to building a railway from Winnipeg to the Hudson bay.The interview was private but the delegates expressed themselves satisfied.It is probable Sir John put them off with promises that may mean anything or nothing.That he pledged the country\u2019s credit is not credible.WHILE details are lacking, there is no question about the Japs continuing to be successful.Their armies have crossed the Yalu river and ure marching on Moukton, which is the sacred city of the ruling dynasty and the place of deposit for their treasure.Ii captured the Japs will have dealt a deadly blow to China.The approaches of Port Arthur are being secured one after another, and its surrender is daily looked for.The uselessness of the Chinese soldier in the field is only rurpassed by the incompetence of his commanders.THE Beaver Steamship company is insolvent.Its accounts show it has been running its vessels at a loss for the past four years, and that its shareholders, who are chiefly Mont- realers, will not receive anything.The causes of the failure are low freights and the impossibility, owing to the N.P., of getting cargoes from the other side.When a home company, witha large fleet of vessels, thus goes to the wallit is rather cruel for the Dominion government to be offering a bonus of $750,000 a year for a new one to come into existence.TaE public hävefollowed, with pained feelings, for several weeks, the minute and rather sensational reports of the evening city papers, of Mr Mercier's illness.At an age when most men are in their prime, vigorous, and full of vitality, his constitution fought desperately with the disease that clung to bim, and he literally died by inches.On Tuesday morning the struggleended; he lived to see Lis 54th birthday a fortnight ago.Of course there are very different and irreconcilable estimates of him being thrust upon the public.The French Canadian who desires to see Quebec freed from imperial control, regards the dead man as a patriot, whospent his latter years in organizing a party to effect that purpose.The French Canadian who believes Quebec to be safer and stronger under British rule than she would be if independent, regards him as a dangerous agitator.The evil he wrought will live after him.The movement he set on foot for the disruption of Canada, will not die with him.The cry of nationality he raised is too captivating for politicians to leave unused, and there will be a succession of aspirants to fill the dead man\u2019s shoes, who will endeavor to win place and power by its means.EE - Ix a speech he delivered at Brad.\u2019 ford on Saturday evening, Lord Rosebery definitely committed his government to the reform of the house of lords.Being in favor of a second chamber he could mot fall in with the cry to abolish the house of lords, but he was resolved in the endeavor to attempt to so reconstruct that house that it would be brought into harmony with the will of the nation.Thrice of late had the lords returned measures of great moment sent up to it by the commons, and under the constitution as it was now there was no remedy.He proposed at the coming session to submit to the commons a resolution declaring that house to be predominant.That resolution would be rejected by the lords, and his government would thereupon dissolve the house and appeal to the country, whoseelectors would decide as to whether or not the constitution was to be revised.How he wanted it revised he gave no intimation, beyond that the amendment must do away with the veto power of the lords.The struggle thus brought to a direct issue by the premier i8 a momentous one, and every lover of the empire will hope it may be decided without provoking into activity the dangerous element that slumbers in the large cities, or involve the destruction of any institution of value.In alluding to the report that Mr Simpson, member for Argenteuil, bas been offered the position ofprovincial , treasurer, the Montreal Star express- ,ed its hope that he would not accept, 'and tbat no English speaking mem- , ber will serve in the present administration.For this the Gazette condemns the Star, holding there is no |sufficient cause \u201cfor boycotting the government.\u201d If the facts aboutthe Parisloan areas have been stated, the Gazette is in the wrong.The province had to borrow four million dollars.Instead of inviting tenders, Mr Taillon goes to a company in Paris and gives it 3 million dollars of 60 year debentures, at 3 per cent., for which it pays bim down a little over 4 milliondollars in cash.There are men learned in finance who say the bargain was a good one.Supposing it is, that does not justify Mr Taillon in making it secretly.Why ' did he not invite tenders ?Why did he not publish it abroad that the province wanted to borrow 4 million dollars and invite offers?The Dominion government wanted 124 million dollars.It advertised the fact that it had debentures for that amount at 3 per cent to sell, and received offers to buy 56 million dollars worth at prices ranging from $95 to $99.50 per $100 debenture.Why did the Quebec government not do likewise ?Why did it sell our debentures privately ?There nftist have been a reason for its secret dickering with a company whose past transactions have not commended it to Quebec.What is that reason?Who was it that compelled Mr Taillon to sell in Paris for 377 what the Domin- : ion got $98 for in London?The difference in price is not to be accounted for entirely by the difference in credit.Quebec, so far, has paid interest punctually on her debentures, and it is absurd to suppose that lenders would make a difference of 20 per cent between the bonds of Quebec and those of the Dominion.That is RE the sanction and with the direction of the trustees, elected by all ratepayers, without distinction of creed.It is thus in the power of the ratepayers of each school district to make the teaching of the school colorless as to creed.Having, by quotations from the law, established that the schools of Manitoba are non-sectar- ian in the strictest sense, the reply deals with the assumptions of those who attack them in this trenchant style: It is maid that unfair distinction is made against Roman Catholics, As A matter of fact no distinction hus been made against any one.Roman Catholic people demand that they shall be singled out from the rest of the community, and that special clasa legislation shall be afforded to them as against all others.Our law is attacked because our legislature has refused to thus favor and distinguish them as against other citizens.The ground of complaint, therefore, is not that an unfair distinction is made against Roman Catholics, but that the legislature declines to make an unfair distinction against others in favor of Roman Catholics.The statement that Catholic people are compelled to pay for the education of Protestant children creates a false impression.The law is not responsible for any such effect.A correct | statement of fact is, that all taxpay- 'ers contribute to the education of all children whose parents send them to public schools.All taxable property is assessed for publie school purposes, and all citizens have the same right to make use of the public s¢hools.Catholic people have the same power to avail themselves of schools as Protestant people.If a Catholic refuses to take advantage of a public school, and decides voluntarily to maintain another school, he is exercising his own judgment in the same way as any person who prefers to send his children to a private school, to the support of which he contributes.,Neither of such persons, however, by \u2018so doing, gains any immnnity from | the payment of school rates.The legislature has advisedly enacted educational legislation which gives to (every citizen equal rights and equal ' privileges, and makes no distinction | respecting nationality or religion.It has been made clear that there is no grievance, except the grievance) that the legislature refuses to \u2018subsidize particular creeds out of I the public funds, and the legislature can hardly be held to be responsible for the fact that they refused to violate what seems to be a sound and just principle of government.Arcasisnor FABRE, disapproving \u2018of the Canada Revue, a French liter.\u2018ary paper, issued a circular forbidding , the faithful to buy or read it.The publisher of the Revue took an action for damages against the Archbishop, and on Tuesday Judge Doherty gave his decision.He held there had been no libel, and that the Archbishop had been within his legal right in criticising the paper and warning his people not to read it.The Judge carefully avoided acknowledging that the clergy of the church of Rome have any peculiar powers or special privileges in Quebec, and based his deci-, sion solely on the standing of the Archbishop as a citizen.The Judge said: The Archbishop claimed that this thrown upon the screen with unusual distinctness and effect.A sale of the personal property and effects of the late James Latham, took place a few days ago.There was a good number in attendance, and the prices obtained were, in most instances, fairly satisfactory to those interested.The sale was conducted by Mr Philps of Huntingdon.Mr Latham\u2019s real estate, consisting of the buildings and part of the land once forming the homestead of Col John Seriver, is understood to be for sale.Sales of farm produce, stock, &c., have not been numerous in this part of the country so far this season.At the few that have taken place, the prices obtained (except for cows\u2014 which have sold fairly well) have been low, especially anything of the horse kind, and for vehicles and farming implements.\\ Corn husking is about completed.The crop has turned out very well, much more satisfactorily than oats and wheat, which are both deficient as well in quantity as in quality.From a field of %ths of an acre J.F.Scriver harvested 100 bushel baskets of corn in the ear.The seed, obtained from James Vick\u2019s Sons of Rochester, N.Y., is an early dent, yellow variety and is named the Pride of the North.It ripened about the 1st of August this year, but it would not be likely to do so in the generality of our seasons.The yield of stalks was heavy\u2014their height being eight to nine feet.Mr Boyes has recently sold to Bell & Simpson of Montreal, the product of his creameries for September and October at 21c.The price is a good one in the present condition of the market, and is proof that Mr Boyes\u2019 fall made butter is up to the high standard obtained

last.Two teams of ten men each, chosen respectively by J.F.Scriver and Dr deMouilpied, contended.The ranges were 400 and 500 yards, seven rounds at each.Drde Mouilpied\u2019s team won by 82points.Considering the favorable weather the scoring even of the winning side.was not specially good.Indeed but for the shooting at the 400 yards range, made by Corpl.D.McNaughton, Wm.McNaughton, and Arthur McNaughton, the marksmanship displayed at the match on Friday last would not have been up to the usual standard of our Hemming- ford and Havelock riflemen.At the 400 yards range Corpl McNaughton scored seven consecutive and well placed bulls eyes, the other two men mentioned falling very little behind him\u2014in scores of 32 out of a possible 35.From a piece of ground (which hus

do so, we are unable to see how either English or French members can support him.The transaction may be all right, but untilit is shown to be so, Mr Taillon cannot receive public confidence.A REPORT of the Dominion privy council was sent to Winnipeg last July, suggesting to the Manitoba government the advisability of considering, with a view to remedying, the complaints of the Catholics with regard to school matters.On Saturday the Manitoba government made its reply, to the effect that there were no grounds for complaint and nothing to remedy.The principle upon which the government proceeds with regard to education is to consider it entirely apart from any sectarian motive.The schools established are non-sectarian and public, .and no distinction made between .denominations of any kind.Theasser- tion that the schools are Protestant, the government denies, and makes this important statement :\u2014 The religious exercises are non-sec- tarian, and are not used except with ! ! tion, which the court could not re-! 1 vise, and based his pretention on the ,old French law of \u201cAppel comme :d\u2019abus.\u201d In the opinion of the court .that law did not now apply to Can-! ada, having disappea at the time + of the cession, with the other laws governing the relations between church and state in France.Under | the present regime all subjects were purely citizens, and all religions stood in the same light as other! organizations recognized by the state, HEMMINGFORD.Dr Harper, inspector of academies and model schools for this province, visited and inspected the model school in this village on Monday.He spoke approvingly at the close of his examination, of the condition in which he found both departments of the school.In the evening Dr H.gave a lecture, illustrated by limelight views, descriptive of that part of the Highlands of Scotland which is made the scene of most of the incidents related in Sir Walter Scott\u2019s novel, Rob Roy.The lecture is à very interesting one and it was spoken with an animn- ation and earnestness that made it most acceptable to Dr H.'s hearers.The views too (of natural scenery os- pecially) were admirable, and thru the medium of the excellent appar- atus which Dr H.makes use of, were sured, this report may be relied upon as accurate, and as a proof that the land in this neighborhood when properly cultivated and cared for, produces excellent root crops.I doubt that the oldest inhabitant in these parts, can recall to mind a month of October, the closing portion of which was so uniformly mild and pleasant as the last ten days have been.Yesterday, with its teroper.| ature of 60°, its clear sky and bright sunshine and its perfect calm, was an ideal Canadian autumnal day, such an one, however, as we more commonly have in mid-September than in late October.The weather today (Monday) is quite as mild and bright as it was yesterday.Gloomy November is so near at hand, however, that we must look for the end ofthe genial sunshine that we are favored with now, 800D.The services at our village churches Yesterday were well attended.Mr Maclennan of Levis, Q., preached with great acceptance morning and evening in the Presbyterian church.DUNDEE.An Indisn council was held in St Regis village last week to take into consideration the purchase of Angus Deruchia\u2019s lot, which lies between lots now belonging to the Indians.The lot contains about 72arpents ofgood land and buildings thereon, and the proprietor wants $2500 for it.The Indiaus ridiculed the idea of paying such a price and said, \u201cthe white man pay for our land $2.50 an acre and if we want to buy some back he want $35 an acre.That is very curious, that white man\u2019s land is worth so much more as Indian\u2019s land.It Deruchia does not want to liveamong us, we will allow him $300 for his land, and if that don\u2019t suit him he can stay or leave, just as he likes.\u201d The balance of the Chenail lands will not bring much if it is left to the Indians to set the price, and unless the government intervene the owners will bave to do the best they can, for the red man can make it somewhat uncomfortablefor them as neighbors, while it is certain no white man will purchase.The Indians show upon all occasions their wrath at having given their consent to hand over the Dundee lands to thecrown to dispose of.There is no predicting what the consequences would have been had not the Hon Thos.White, then superintendent general! of Indian affairs, before giving them time to think over it, got them in council to consent.A number of our Dundee far- , mers think they would have been all right had they stuck to their long leases, They were all right for a time, but after the agitation what would the lands be worth in market?No one would purchase them at any | price under such a title.It was no title in fact.Long leases did well enough up to the time of the agitation, but after that it would have been different.The tax is heavy, but the satisfaction of knowing that you can produce a document, with a big red seal, wbich puts beyond dispute that you arethe bona fide owner, and not a mere tenant, surely is worth considerable.Of course there are many of us who will not see the end of this commutation tax, but is it not the endeavor of most heads of families to do the best they can for their children, and it is a soothing thought on the death-bed to know that they are being left with as little an incubus on the land as possible.Talking with a merchant in Fort Covington village the other day, he remarked that he thought the people of Dundee seemed very social with one another, got along without any dissensions, and were comfortably off.\u201cIt ig not eo.(he said) on this side of the line somehow.Our people don\u2019t seem to do things in such harmony and very few but are over their earsin debt.\u201d No wonder; politically, they are never at rest, and politics spoils sociability.A man the other day hitched his horse to a login Salmon river, but all the efforts of the horse, altho induced to do his best by a severe application of the whip, failed to make the log move.Having a little feeling for the dumb beast, especially seeing he was not in fault, I remonstrated with the castigator, and told him to hold on a little.I went to Tyo\u2019s store and got a few handfuls of oats, which the horse ate and got the man to wait fifteen minutes.Time up, the horse started and that logcame up asif it had been feather.The man was thunderstruck, and wanted to know \u201cwhat on airth I bad put in them oats.\u201d 1 told him I didn\u2019t intend to keep it secret; I put in a few\u2014pink pills.I don\u2019t think I ever saw more plowing done than this lall, besides a great deal of ditching.The weather has been very favorable for all farm and other outdoor work.Onlya few of the very tender flowers, such as balsams, were injured by the frost of the 26th September, and today, 30th Oct., thegreat majority of theflowers are blossoming wonderfully for the time of year.Sweet peas, verbenas, pansies, daisies, marigolds, &c., are still furnishing the requisite for bouquets.The representatives of the CE.society of Fort Covington came home from the convention held in Chateau- gay with the banner that is given to the society that has paid most for missions during the past year.- The bell of the Presbyterian church has been hung in the new spire and once more \u2018sends forth its resonant peals, much augmented by its more open surroundings.

Tullochgorum concession.Heavy rain began to fall on Wednesday forenoon, the weather turning a little colder.Two uneightly old log buildings havebeen removed from the property next to the post-office belonging to Mr Fiekin.VALLEYFIELD.The Bellerive tunnel is almost completed.The tunnel is substantially built and is put in low enough to drain the land on both sides.The work was done at government expense, and was commenced more than a year ago.The first contractor failed to complete the work and new tenders were asked for, hence the delay.Aconsiderable amount of wages are yet owing laborers by the first contractor.The steam yacht Rex, owned at Rochester, passed down Wednesday en route to New York.The remarkable feature of this little vessel is that she is a marvel of speed, She is said to have made 30 miles an hour on a straight run.Dr Harper was here last week examining the schools, which he found on a better basis than at his former visit.Thursday evening the learned Doctor entertained a number of the parents and others to a clever lecture in the academy hall.The subject was Rob Roy, and was treated ina manner thut showed the lecturer to be quite familiar with the Rob Roy country.During the evening the inspector took occasion to give the parents a few words of advice on school matters.Maxime Danis, the popular little man whose connection with the local railway stationsand telegraph offices has won him a host of friends, left Friday evening for New York, where he hopes to win promotion and advancement in his sphere.Any young man as politeand obliging as Maxime Danis deserves and does win promotion.Large quantities of hay are being shipped from this district.The price to farmers is from $4 to $5 per ton, which, it is needless to say, scarcely pays wages.There are few farmers who bave anything else but hay to sell, Lesperance & Co.\u2019s mill has started up, alter being closed down for a couple of weeks, undergoing repairs to the flume.Advuntage was taken of the shut-down to have the rolls re- corrugated and the main shalting lined up.Tuesday evening the local lodge of the A.0.U.W.received a fraternal visit from some of the sister lodges in Montreal.The visitors came up by special train, arriving here about half-past 8.There were about 110 in the party.They were wet at the Canada Atlantic depot by the local members, who escorted them to the town ball, where a pleasant evening was spent in addresses, songs, etc.The march from the depot to the hall was to the music of Highland pipers, who accompanied the visitors.Mr Duncan McCormick, Q.C., occupied the chair, and on the platform were the grand master, Edward Bond, and grand lodge officers.D.F.Smith, _ master workman, of Valleyfield lodge, welcomed the visitors on behalfof the order, and mayor John Sullivan extended to them the freedom of the town.Grand master Bond replied in elegant terms and gave a short account of the objects and system of the order, which provides cheap and secure life insurance for its members.At the close of the concert the local brethren entertained the visitors to lunch at the Windsor.The visitors departed highly pleased with their reception, which was extremely well managed.FORT COVINGTON.Geo.R.Dalphin, formerly of Caza- ville, is wanted here very badly as a witness on the Matthews smuggling case.Although knowing for months

was held on October 25th, on Mr Charles Moe\u2019s farm.At an early hour it was evident that it would be a success, from the number of teams on the ground.32, all told, took part; 20 old, and 12 young plowmen.During the afternoon there were many visitors, perbaps in all 600.Mr Moe kindly gave lunch to plowmen and others on the ground, besides keeping hig house open for all.The land worked easily, the soil being causing the furrows to crumble.All got through with their tasks about 3 o'clock, when the judges went to work.There was no trouble in deciding who should be first in the senior class, for Logan's ridges were beyond fault finding.The next five were of even merit, and to class them must have given difticulty to the judges.The young men did remarkably well, and competent judges considered their work in no way behind that of the seniors.Altho a district match, Beavharnois and Huntingdon were, by no means, adequately represented.From the latter county there were only 7 plows.Wereit not that the Hochelaga match had been held the day before, there would have been plows from the island of Montreal.SENIOR CLASS.Judges: Geo.Buchanan, Island of Montreal; James Bryson,

resolutions passed at the late council of the tribe.Among the uests was one for a law to compell railways to carry Indians at half rates, and a reversion to the hereditary principle in determining the rulerahip of the tribe, the elective process not having proved a satisfactory method of selecting the chief.Upon his return to Winnipeg a Free Press reporter interviewed Mr.Laurier.The honorable gentleman said very briefly that he and his party had been extremely gratified with their tour.They had been prepared to sve a vast country but their ex- loose, but handsomer work would Pectations had been exceeded.The have been done had it not been so dry jonly thing that they universally wanted now was a change of policy, such us would result in the people getting cheaper goods.They found evidence of this everywhere; and he thought that the people of the Northwest in general had fully made up their minds as to the necessity of achange; he believed the country was not only ready, but anxious for it, judging from the reception he had everywhere met, which had been exceedingly gratifying.Mr Laurier found the people everywhere well satistied with the country and coofident that they would be able to get along well if they only had different fiscal legislation.He had no doubt that if the country were made a cheap one to livein, immigrants would rush in from all parts of the world.To the strains of \u201cGod Save the Queen\u201d by the police band, the Allan Line steamship Numidian glided majestically to her berthat Montreal on Saturday afternoon shortly after three o'clock.On her deck could be seen 150 of England\u2019s marines and blue jackets, who were on their way- to spend the next three years in various ships of her Majesty\u2019s North Pacific fleet now at Esquimault, B.C, As the band concluded its welcome the jolly tars gave threecheers.There was a C.P.R, train in waiting and before long they were steaming on their way to the Pacific, Ottawa, Oct.26.\u2014A case of great interest to the public, and particularly to the medical fraternity, was decided by Judge Ross this morning.It appears that in October, 1803, Dr Routhier was engaged to perform an operation for cataract in the eye of Mrs.Phoebe Lapensee, an old lady 73 years of age.residing in Hinton- burg.Before performing the operation Dr Routhier was paid part of his fee and a note was given him for the balance by Mra Lapensee\u2019s son.When the note fell dueit was not paid and the doctorsued Dolphis Lapensee, the maker of the note, for the balance of his fee.As a defence to the doctor's action Lapensee alleged that he had signed the note on the strength of the doctor\u2019s guarantee that he would perform a first-class operation, and that after removing the cataract Mrs Lapensee would see as well as she did at 50 or GO yeurs of age; while the fact is that his mother has become entirely blind in the eye operated on, and is fast losing the sight of the other.At the trial the doctor denied giving any guarantee but admitted that he had promised to perform a first-class operation and attributed his lack of | success to the patient and herattend- ant not following his directions.For the defence it was established that the guarantee had been given and that there had been no lack of care on the part of the patient or her attendant.Several witnesses swore that the plaintiff had on different occasions before the operation guaranteed its success, and that the defendant bad given him the note in consequence of such representations.Judge Ross held that the doctor was not entitled to recover, and judgment wan accordingly given for the defendant with costs.The price of wheat in Manitoba at the present time rules as low as thirty-eight cents per bushel on the street in Winnipeg, where buyers have formed a ring.This is not for mixed, inferior or adulterated wheat, but for straight No.1 hard, the best wheat in the world.It wasselling at forty cents for a while but the Winnipeg grain men aud millers formed a ring, refusing to pay more than thirty-eight cents.La Compagnie d'Amusements Sainte Cecile will apply at the coming session for incorporation.The

this morning.He was a native of Ireland, and had resided in this village for the past 40 years.UNITED STATES.The death of James McGee, at one time of Godmanchester.and killed at Malone last summer, is pot going to inflict punishment on anybody.The Malone Palladium states that at the court last week, Judge Kellogg presiding, many hours were given to hearing such evidence as the district attorney was able to obtain implicating Barney Talley and Amab Petell, of Malone, in the killing of James McGee near the railroad machine shops in that village last June, and after it all the grand jury voted not to indict.The result | may properly be taken, if not as | the establishment of the innocence of the accused, at least as showing that there was no hope of fastening the crime upon them with sufficient certainty to justify a conviction.The counsel for Tulley insists positively that McGee was not | murdered, but was accidentally killed by the cars or a locomotive, and for: the good repute of the town, and for\u2019 the boys, it would be fortunate if everybody could accept that theory.Alex.Bisneau, of Malone, charged with striking his little daughter with a strap and destroying the sight of one eye, wasdischarged.The act was brutal.but evidence was wanting to establish its criminality.The village of Chateaugay, N.Y.,! is now lighted by electricity.The Record says: Alter many vexatious delays caused by failure to receive supplies, etc., the electric light was turned on the streets on Saturday evening.The event had been watched fur with a great deul ofinterest by every resident of the village, and when at last the light was turned on various expressions regarding it were henrd.Those who expected an 1800 arc light from a 82 candle in- cundescent lamp were of course disappointed, and at once expressed themselves of the opinion that the light was a failure.The other class, those who were somewhat skeptical, as to the practicability of incandescent lighting for street purposes, were at once pleased and thoroughly satistied that the system in use is entirely adequate and will meet all wants of a village of this size.In many instances the skeptical ones became ut once admirers of the system and were loud in their praises of the successful manner in which the Chateaugay Electric light and power co., huve thus far carried out their new project.The avatem of street lighting consists of 36 incandescent lights of 32 candle power each.The plant of the company congists of a Westinghouse dynamo of 500 16-candle power lights, propelled by water motor.The power has been sufficiently tested to meet all requirements and is pronounced by experts to be one of the best and capable of doing excellent service, The outlook for the financial success of the enterprise is encouraging, a large number of orders for stores, houses, ctc., having been received, with more to follow.It is a pleasure to thus note that the | efforts to advance the village's interests are being made the most of by our citizens, which showsa s irit | of enterprise and public pride w tho in seldom met with in a village of the size of Chateaugay.The potato market has livened up a bit, the rivalry among the buyers having increased the price to 40 cents per bushel.Lurge quantities are being brought in for shipment, and the ecene about Chateaugay depot is a lively one.The present season has been a most pros Fous une for the farmers of Franklin county.and fine reports are being made.A number of farmers say that as soon as they have disposed of their potatoes they will be entirely free from debt of any kind, which should be very gratifying indeed.\u2014 Record.| Huntingdon, Pa., Oct.25.\u2014A huge eagle swooped down to-day upon the yard of Thomas Richardson, a colored man, living

Sunday night except Mrs.Deoni- son, when the stillness that pervades the Adirondack forest, particularly at night, was broken by the sharp growls ol a bear.Upon hearing these sounds, Mrs Dennison neither screamed nor fainted, nor even attempted to rouse the whole camp, but seizing a rifle she stepped outai and with one shot killed a big black bear not more than ten feet from

in the British Isles one hundred thousand more people than there are in France.During the century the population of France has increased by ten millions, and that of the United Kingdom by twenty millions.lun addition to that Great Britain has in those ninety years colonized Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other spots which in another ninety years will become mighty nations.The nowsteady decrease in the population of France is not accompanied by any colonization whatever.Speaking at a Unionist meeting ats Durham, England, Mr Chamberlain asserted that the Irish people showed no great eagerness for homeruls, and referred to the Hon.Ed.Blake's mission in these terms:\u2014The other day they sent out an Irish member to Canada and to the United States to get money.Money la a very important factor in Irish agitation (laughter and cheers), and Mr Blake, the gentleman referred to, issued a circular in which he said that home rule was to be won by carrying on an active propaganda in the British constituencies.He said that this would take n good deal of money, und for that purpose, and for a number of other purposes which he named, he asked for £48,000.Why did he go

We Ineulcate Love of Country\u2014Birief History of How the Scattered Provinces Were United\u2014Canada\u2019s Present Peace and Unity, Of all the holidays observed in Canada noun is so sacrediy, so patriotienlly kept as the First of July\u2014Dominion Day.Just 27 years ago Canada eutered upon her career ns à confederated dominion, and each year sees the anniversary celebrated with increasing enthusinsin from Halifax on the Atlaut.o to Victoria ou the Pacific, while even in London, Enz, aud where there nre Canadian clubs in this country, thie Dowiuion Day banquet has become a settled event, As n holiday, Dominion Day has steadily ruprreeded the Queen's Birthday (May SA), the latter being given up mostly to horse-racing and initial games of lacrosse.The anniversary of confederation is cele- bLrnted with festivities of n different character, festivities in which patriotic ora- tots and patriotic songs are given a very prominent part.No man can doubt the patrictism of the Canadian people.Their love fur Canada is a thousand times ten- dercr than their passionless affection for Fagland's Queen and the great Empire of which young Canada forms so important à part, nud this sentiment is implanted in the heart of the youth of the Do.winjon by public exercises held in commeinoration of the national existence.The children enter with zest into the *pirit of these occasions, and the addresses, songs and recitations are such ns to fire their young hearts with au iutelli- went patriotism, \u2018The Hoisting of tie Flag\u201d is nn inspiring feature of the Dominion Day exercises as practiced in the Ontario public schools, particularly so when it is accompanied by military processions, booming cannon, stirring music trou br.ss bands and national songs from thousands of children\u2019s voices trained to sing \u2018My Own Canadian Hotae\u201d ur \u2018The Maple Leaf Forever\u201d in shrill and simple unison.From what period Canadian national sentiment dates is rather uncertain, Agnes Maule Machar, one of the younger poets of the Dominion, fixes it in the 17th century, prior to Malssonenve's time, when the French and tie Huron Indians coutested so desperately and savagely the possession of the *\u201cl'housand In Miss Machar's poem, \u201cThermopylae,\u201d is struck tue Keynote of, at least, French-Cauadian painotisi; \u201c\u2014While a new Canada has risen, through toils of centuries led.Gone arc the dusky savage hordes that threntened then its life.Over the long, slarp contest of fratricidal strife: And though St.George's cross waves now for that of St, Denis, And the green naple leaf is twined with the white fleur de lis, We are the heirs of the brave hearts that erst that standard bore, And brought the light of faith and hope to a wide, savaxe shore, Lach nubie niemory is ours, to keep undimmed und bright; Each gallant deed to emulate in a yet nobler A fairer Canada is ours than that young Dau- lac knew, And wider realms are ours to hold than Champlain wandered trough,\u201d The sentiment, however, which animntea the English-speaking Canadian is not oue of rejoicing over the bloudy corses on a battlefield.It is, rather, one of intense pride and satisfaction with the happy consummation of confederation and with the present status of the Dominion as the brightest colonial gem in the British diadem, The Canadian people, as a whole, are Lound firmly together in an ambitious de- wire for a greater nationality ; and there are few of thein but will agree with the Rev.Dr, Grant, principal of Queen's University, Kingston, Ont,, when he wrote a dozen years ago in Picturesque Cansda: \u201cWhat then is our destiny?Whatever God willis.The oùly point clear as sunlight to us as a people ave, that Canada is free, aud thas we dure not break up the unity of the Grandest Empire the world has ever known,\u201d Aud there it is in a nutshell.There is Ontario's best reason for her patriotic devotion to the Dominion and Canadian insti.tutione No blood was spilled in accomplishing confederation, and the national ife vf Canada is dated by many from that first day of July, 1867, when the British North America Act went into force, uniting in one dominion the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia The idea of British North American federation had been considered by British statesmen long years before the \u2018\u2018Fathers of Confederation,\u201d as Sir George Cartier, Sir John A.Macdonald, the Hou.George Brown and others have been called, were heard ot in public affairs.The New-Eng- laud colonists were liopeful in the early days of their independent life that Canads wonid join their union, and they even included in their constitution an article authorizing her administration.Continu- it:: tbe same desire, a bill was introduced in Congress vu the very eye of Canadian confederation, providing for the admission of British North America as four separate States, their several public debts tv be assumed by the Federal Goverument at Washington, D.C.But another destiny was already mapped ont, another ideal had taken ion of the Canadiau mind.Chief Fratice Sewell of Quebec submitted to the Duke of Kent a pian of federation as early as 1814 Ten years later the Legislative Coanell of Upper Canada a resolution favoring \u2018\u2018the union of the fonr Provinces of British North America under n vice-royalty, with a fae-siinile of that great aud glorious fabrie, the best monument vf human wisdom, she British Constitation.\u201d The seed was sown but the harvest was delayed fur 40 years, Even then it needed the re vÉ necus- sity to bring it to full fruition, Brot.Goldwin 8mith wea not far wrong when Le said that \u2018\u2018the real father of Cou- federation (about which there has always been a deal of political coutention) was Deadlock.\u201d Durham's mission brood.©f rence and reconciliation between the Shove mentioned Mmais ace des two Canadian Proviness of Upper and o\u20ac thelr kind J, T.Gs 2 Sons | Lowes Conads was nob .There .was constant and perilous friction between the French and English members of the Legislative Awsembiy, and parlinmeuntary povernmens finnily was brought io « standstill.\u201cLeth Province rewained,\u201d in the words of Lord Monck, the Governor-Gen- eral at the time, \u201cin a fragmentary and isolated condition, comparatively powerless fur mutual aid and incapable of undertaking its proper share of lperial responsibility.\u201d Out of this condit,on of things arose two movements.Oue having its orizin in the Maritime Province, aimed at 1 legislutive union of Nuva Scotia, Now Brauswick and Prince Edward Island, and w coutercice VÉ tue threo legislatures wus called to mcet nt Charlottetown, P.E Lin the full of 1861, to promote such a cun- federucy.The other was the greater movement fur a parlinmentary union of the whole of British North America\u2014the consolidation iuto one State of a country reaching from the Atlautic to the Pacific, \u201ccombining within its limits all the elements of greatness, providing for the se- eurity of its compone-t purts, and contributing to thegtrength aud stability of the Empire, * This vas the dream that had filled the mind of 812 Jehn A, Macdonald and sone of his political associates, and the conference ut Charlottetown seemed to open up a way for its irumadiate realization.So, an one of the Maritime delegates afterwaids expressed i¢, \u2018the Canadinus descended upon us at Charlottetown, aud before they were throo days among us we forgot our own ccheme and thought only about theirs.\u201d The grander hope of Confederation, in fast, obliterated the arrow scheme of tri provincial union, and # month later the Charlottetown conference was succeeded by the Quebec conference, where, in the presence of nunierous representatives of political parties from uch of the four Provinces, Confederation took defi- nited.This was a step, however, which must be ssnctioned by the people, and the battle had to be fought over again at the poliing-boeths.The two Canadas under the zealous leadership of Sic John Mae- donald and Bir George Cartier.gladly assented, but the Maritime Provinces looked upon the solieme as too ambitious, too big and fur less safe than a simple union among themselves.New Brunswick final ly yielded 10 the persuasiveness of its federal lender, now Liettenant-Governor, Sir Leonard Tilley, aml Nova Scotia, after a s'ubborn defence succumbed to the advo- eacy of Dr., now Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner to England.Thus was Confederation secured and July 1, 1867, became the natal day of the Dominion of Canada.Three yeurs later the Hudson's Bay territori-s in the Northwest were purchased and the Province of Mani- fobs was organized and brought within the federiition in 1870.British Columbia wus added in 1871.aud Princs Edward Island on July 1.1873.Newfoundland stands aione in the shadow of the Dumninion, bat those who follow her | affairs closely believe tliat the day is not far distant when the little sen-girt Province wil be knueking for admitiance.Since confederation, Great Britain has not once offered to interfere in Canadian national affairs.Instead, a voice has been given to the Dominion in various foreign affairs, and à disposition has been shown to consult re- preseutative Canadians upon various matters tonching the weal of the Empire, which never would have been possible with representatives of disintegrated and unimportant provinces.Confederation was a long step forward in Canadian progress toward self- goverumeutiu allthings.Lord Durhain, in Lis fires report on British North America, said: \u201clf these important and extensive eolonies shonld speak with one voice, if it were felt that every error of our colonial policy must cause a common suffering and a common discontent throughout the whole wide extent of British America, thexs eumpluinis would never be provoked.\u201d Events Lave completely veritied the prediction.Since 1867 that extensive and important group ot colonies have xnoken with une voice, the voice of the Dominion of Canada, and Great Britain has ruled that as regards foreign relations where the interests of England and Canada are identical, the two countries are one, and entitled to equal consideration.Dominion Day is Canada's Fourth of July, although the causes fur celebraticu are diametrically different\u2014the one country celebrating the unity and the other the dismemberment of the British Empire on this continent, Iu every city.town and hamlet iu the broad Dominion the Union Jack was uufurled, aud strong, seli-re- lians young Canada on the anniversary exulted in her possession of untrammeled institutions, free government and a healthy, happy people, Problems, no doubt, have yet to be faced, The strain of world wide competition, the high tariff pressure, the demand for markets, the need for more sturdy workers in the con.try's development\u2014are some of the difficulties which confront the Dominion; but Canada is well able to grapple with them now, for she has established for herself a name among Nations for enterprise and the possession of tne other national virtues which go to unke up a prosressive und prosperous nationality, \u2014Buffalo Express, , The Bicycle Did Is.The Globe las already mentioned the excellent work dune by the telegraph companies in getting the returns of last Tuesday\u2019s elections.The following note in regard to the matter, received by Mr.Easson, manager of the press departmeus of the

previous long delay in gathering, at points within & radins of from three to nine miles of St.Thomas to points whers we had no office, I employed six bicyclists, | who were out and started from each
