On the wind clearing away, for a moment, the clouds of sul- phnrous steam with which the lake was ‘ covered, a. mound of water was seen tan , feet higher than the general level of the surface, capsed by ebullition.

It remained for the “ celebrated " Glass at the Watford meeting to give such a demonstrative opinion of' protec- tion as must have astonished his listeners. Why says he “ supposing they gassed a “law in the United States, that every “ man should break a dozen windows “ who wont ever there, then should we “ pass a law compelling every man who “ came here to break 11‘ dozenhvindows ?” This is Mr. Glass definition of'proteetion, and the only inf'u'enee for any sensible person to draw from the simile, would be that a pane of glass is smashed in his skyâ€"light. Our cotcm., the Woodbridge Free Press, is coming a little ofi‘ the fence. In its last issue it has an article on Pro- tection. Though lather non-commital, the following will show the leanings of the editor. Better come out in your true colors at once : The Wool Interest is coming to the front in consequence of the demand made on the part ot‘a portion of the Ontario Press that Australian wool should be admitted free, so that the twccds the Australians want, and which they can probably buy from us, may be made and sold to them still cheaper. And we are not sure that the Wool growers would object if all other things were made duty-free as well, But it will not do to favor the \Voolieu manufacturers at the expense of the Wool growers. Suppose all our principal products and manufac- tures and last year been protected by an additional 20 per cent., the Australian Commissioners would never have found cheap clothes and cheap machines among us. To widen our market is our obvious policy; and it the Americans will not admit our products, why, other countries willâ€"- and we find, that with our low duties, we can undersell the Americans. \Ve presume no objections can be taken against private gentlemen ; going pionicking, if they thmk proper to do so; they do not do it at the expense of the public same as Mr McKenzie and the rest of the Ministry are now doing ; with their obsequious followers, revolving round than In the opinion of the Coboizrg Sent ind, toll gates are‘ the remains of a barâ€" barous age; of an age when cities, towns and rural castles were barricated by meats and stone walls, and shut in by gates of iron and brass. They are a great hinderance to that local freedom of trade which is so desirable, and they are a continual check and obstacle to the growth and prosperity of Coboug.

The Grit organs are down on Judge Maedonald because he said at Welland the other day, in trying a liquor case, that the Ontario License Law was bad to work and impracticable, and he did not think it would do any good. The Grit organs say that it is none of the Judge,s business whether the law is good or bad, and that it is simply his business to administer it. If it had been one of Sir John’s laws we should hate had the the whole pack howling over it by this time; but the gadflies must not light upon the work of the Pairty’s anointed. The best proof that the law is bad is that the organs are ashamed to have it e1'it1zed.râ€" West Durham News. A comparative statement of the lum- ber passed through the Chaudiere slides from 1872 to 1876, shows a very large increase over the quantity any of the preceding four years. Coupling this circumstance with the Fact that a fair market has been found for the timber manufacture of this season just closing. It is evident that the lumber trade is reviving. 0n the 13th inst, John Hogg, Postmaster of Don, aged 50 years, eldest son of John and Janet Hogg, formerly of Stonehouso, Scotland.

Of all the ills that earth or society are heir to, that of the newspaper borrower is the mot obnoxious. Neawpaper bon- rowers have no sense of respect, no idea of honor, and are totally devoid of mo- desty. They are a class of people who may justly be termed vampires, who feed upon the fruits of others. They prefer to borrow your newspapers but then if they cannot borrow they don’t hes- itate. to steal it. As an article of value, they think a newspaper is worthless, and The great international rifle shooting match has concluded with a1 victory for the American team. Our riflemeu'have mains tained their hard earned reputation very handsomely, and the exciting contest closes with the best possible feeling on the part'of visitors and hosts. Five teams engaged in the friendly strife, and the result for the two days’ shooting is as i'ollowszâ€"Ameri- cans, 3,126 points; Irishmen, 3,104; Scotchmen, 3.063; Australians, 3,062; Canadians, 2,923. Looking into partic~ ulars, we find that on the first day’s shooting the Scotchmen led with a score of 1,586, out ofa. total possible aggregate of 1,800. The Irishmen came next, with a total score 0i 1,582; the Americans third. with 1,577; the Australians next, with 1,545 points, and the Canadians last, with 1,490. The second day’s shooting showed the following result: â€"Americans, 1.549; Irishmen, 1,522; Australians, 1,517; Scotch, 1.477; Cana- dians, 1,438 . Thus the Scotchmen led the next best team at the close of Wednesday’s shooting, by 4 poims; but the Americans led the second best on Thursday by 27 points. The Americans led on Wednesday in the firing at 800 yards, the Scotch led at 900 yards, and the Scotch and Irish teams were tied at 523 in the shooting at 1,000 yards. Yesterday, the Americans and Scotch-men were tied in the firng at 800 yards; the Americans led in the 900 yard range, and the Irish did the best shooting at 1,000 yards. â€"Lcader.

They were shipped to Toronto, 100 miles; thence to Sarnia, 257 miles, to go by “ my brother’s "line to Thunder Bay, when they could have been sent direct from Orillia to Colling- wood, 57 miles, and shipped from there ; or better boats could have been built at (lollingwood for, we venture to say, less money, and all freight saved. There is no freight so difficult to handle as these heavy and unwieldy boats; and once damaged, a plank or two split in transit, or the back broken for want of proper staying on the cars, they would not be worth much at Thunder Bay.
