Mr. John Hare, the actor. maybe described as inhabiting the locality known as “ round the corner," his dwelling being situated in one of those pleasant nooks of Remington, just out of the hurly burly of traffic. At the top of Hornton sh, beyond the large mansion just built, is a house, if of any order, than of the chalet order of architecture. It is one of those houses which appear to have dropped down where it is without reference to align- ment or the Severities generally. Externally it is of fine Venetian red; inwardly it is dec- orated after the fashion which has received the name of a proverbially defunct queen. For the moment the members are Smut, a. bhwk collie, with the proper quantity of ten distributed about his person, and a small terrier, swathed in a. dog's coat and ensconced before the fire. Smut makes friends at once with u fiiend of the drama, for he is a theat- rical dogâ€"perhaps rather amateur than pro- fessional. While “ New Men and Old Acres" was being rehearsed at the Court Theatre, Smut. who went to thetheatre every morning with his muster, followed him about diligently on the stage. and in the ruins scene threw himself at his master‘s feet in the most pic- turevquv of all prsmble attitudes. 0n the first night of the wonderfully suc- cessful )evivsl of the comedy, which he wrote with the collaboration of Mr. Dubourg, Mr. Tom Taylor was struck by the want of a dog in the scene just referred to. To him the grouping was imperfect, and after seeing the comedy again he spoke to Mr. Here on the subject. Now Mr. Here was doubly sensitive. as actor and as manager, to the possxbility of some ridiculous contretemps, and demurred altogether to the presence of Smut on the stage. Mr. Tom Taylor insisted, and Mr. Hare protested, until the success of the piece being assured. he yielded to the author's im- portunities, and Smut was allowed to follow his master on to the stage in the important scene. The eagecious beast walked on as quietly as possible. took not the slightest notice of the audience, and flung himself down at his master’s feet just as he had so often rehearsed the part. After thisâ€"as play- goers will recollect~Smut played every night during the long run of “ New Men and Old Acres,” with such perfect success that he be- came e prime favorite with the audience.

Now we think of it, the old bill collector who trudges painfully through the streets from day today, trying ever to find the man who is ever try ing to dodne him onuht tohave more sympa- thy. His only business is to persuade delin- quents to pay tlmir just debts, and yet every- body ‘101.ks upon him very much as a sailor looks on a craft that has raised the black flag of piracy. l‘oox fkllOW l He hasa hard time of it trying to catch sight of the men who has just gone round the comer, who will be back in five minutes, so the clerk says. but who never comes back until the old bill collector has gone. It is on record that by some strange latuitv of fortune a collector once found his debtor at home. Such a circumstance nearly took his breath away, for. like the} Wandering Jew, he had been flying from . pillar to post for nearly a year. and had never‘ once found the right man u the right place ;‘ but he took out his battered wallet and pre- sented the account, yellow with age. and humbly asked for a settlement “ X011 must call again,” was the stern,impcrative demand of the man, who never intended to have money enough to pay that bill. The victim with the threadbare clothes and the wornout shoes suggested that it was not easy to go up three flights of staiis three times a day in order to find lhc ominous word “ out " on the office door, “ Well.” said the haughty debtor, “perhaps you would like to have me rent a room on the first floor for the sake of my creditors.“ The old bill collector uttered a deep sigh, put his wallet hack into his pocket, and walked into a hack alleyway where his home was, while the jaunty debtor sprang into his landau and went up to the park for a drive. Such is life.â€"-Nrw York Herald. In order to enjoy travel, one must have a home, and one that is loved, pulling a little at his heart strings all the while ; for the best thing about traveling is the going home. It is contrast that makes the most of our enjoy- ment. If you stay from home so long that its ties begin to slacken, foreign travel loses its zest. I think. indeed, that one must be 9. warm patriot in order to be a good cosmopol- itan. That is as much as to say that where there is no centre there is no circumference. One needs to feel always that he is going from somewhere as well as to somewhere,and that when he wills he can return to his own fireside and the circle of friends that form his real world. When the traveler is cut loose from all ties. and becomes a wanderer, his interest in the world is so diffused that it is almost lost. One should go home before he becomes a victim to the habit of wandering. I know a lady who for three or [our years had wreaked her appetite on all the tables d’hote from Amsterdam to Jerusalem, who finally declared that she must go home to America to get something to eat, and she took ship accordingly. Next to patriotism, her motive was most praiseworthy and comprehensible. wChcrla: Dudley Warner.

It is this: May abarrister wear solored trousers in court, or must they be black? This point was raised several weeks ago by a Bavarian Judge, who. perceiving the lower limbs of an advocate then addressing him to be encased in garments of tender tone. reproved him severely. The barrister treated these admonitions with scorn. Both parties to the ispute laid their arguments before a Court of Appeal, which has been deliberating n them ever since. Meanwhile the well- known Munich counsel, Dr. Helbling, has just been solemnly warned bv another Judge that if he attempts to defend his clients in colored trousers it will be the worse for him. â€"â€"â€"If we did but realize the great difliculty of so approaching the peculiar position. charâ€" acter. and feelings of another as to find out what was really the best thing for him to do, we should be much more reluctant to give advice than we now are.

Then the amount agreed on is counted out in good money. Picking up one of the bills. he says: “ Oh. that’s a counterfeit. Let me give you another." The farmer examines the note, and of course can find no difference between it and the others. A conversation on the subject ensues.

RICHMOND HILL, THURSDAY, NOV. 11, 1880. Two Opinions bout the Facts and the Remedy. sonna'r Lows’s vxsws. Lord Sherbrooke, better known as Robert Lowe, in an article in the Nineteenth C(ntury. declares that he feels deeply for the wretched condition of the peasantry sufl'ering from many generations of Oppression, misunder- standing. and misgovernment, and a sudden change or cure cannot be expected simply be- cause during the past few years great organic reforms have been accomplished. “We must hear," he says. “ and be patient,remembering that we are reaping the harvest of generations of misrule.” The Times has an editorial com- menting on Lord Sherbrooke’s article. and quotes his words as to the relations between landlord and tenant : "Landlords and ten ants are persons who have entered into conâ€" tracts with each other, and they are nothing more,” and then naturally deprecates any in- terference by the legislature regarding such contracts. Further on, however, the noble lord strangely admits that the supposed con- tracts between landlord and tenant in Ireland are not contracts at all. “If we will look the matter fairly 51‘- the face. the truth is that the small Irish tenant is too poor to enterinto a contract, which presupposes equality be- tween the two contracting parties. In Eng- land the tenant can afford to bargain. In Ireâ€" land, as far as the contract goes and speaking about small farms, the landlord lays down the rule and the tenant submits to it. The very idea of equality is banished from such a proceeding. There is no real bargain where one side cannot afiord to refuse whatever terms the other sees fit to propose.” " Here,” observes the Times. “ we get something of a touch of facts, but Lord Sherbrooke makes no use of the truths he seems to have in his grasp." The Statistic has an article on the practica~ bility of establishing a peasant proprietary in Ireland, and says 2 “ Moneyin abundance has been advanced in various ways to Irish land- lords aud others for purposes of secondary benefit. to Ireland, and there has been much less. It is surely time to try whether an ad. vance for a primary object which the Irish people desire, and which is needed to cure a discrepancy which has lasted for cen- turies between the laws of Ireland and the usages and ideas or the people, will not be more successful. We must urge, then, that a measure to expropriate a large part of the land of Ireland, giving a fair price to the landlords, and to settle thereon a peasant proprietary, is both immediately necessary and easily practicable. It is a measure worth some risks of loss, but no loss is really prob- able. It must be a bold and thorough mea- sure, effecting a large transfer at once, while the commissioners to be appointed should have most ample powers, and the local authorities should be so constituted as to give the whole Irish people an interest in the suc- cess of the work. Of course it would be a corollary of such a measure that the commis- sioners would have power to give indefensible titles, and that a cheap and easy system of land transfer should be established. But Ireland. we hope, will not be the only part of the United Kingdom which will get the bene- fit of the last measure." TEE GOVERNMENT’S HESI'I‘ATION. The Tribune’s special cable says : The gravity of the situate-min Ireland occupies English attention almost to the exclusion of the foreign and colonial difficulties. The re- ports during the week from Dublin conflict alike respecting the prosecutions of Land League leaders and the policy of the Irish Executive touching the whole question. The latest accounts say the Government in- tends to indict only six of the leading agita- : tors, Mr. Parnell included. Growing im- ; patience is manifested by the Irish landlords ‘ in regard to what they consider to be hesita- tion on the part of the Government. This impatience is shared by the public, who begin to perceive that the agitation is directed, not against bad landlords merely, but, so far as it is agrarian and not political, against the principle of ownership except by actual occuâ€" piers who cultivate the soil. THREATENING LETTERS MULTIPLY DAILY. No one of them has affected public opinion more than that which has compelled Lord Clonourry to abandonahis estate, although he was engaged in no quarrel with his tenants , or laborers, nor had he raised rents or evicted occupiers. He was even popular personally and considerate toward everybody. His sole . supposed oflense is that he attempted to farm lands when the leases fell in and no new ten- ants could be obtained. The authorities , finally warned him that it was impossible for them to guarantee his safety. THE CONDITION OF MAYO. An impression no less deep has been pro- duced by the letters of the special commis- sioner of the Daily News in Mayo. His ao- connts, equally picturesque and impartial, reveal that an immense majority of the population are banded together to ruin every obnoxious landlord or agent. No case has i produced a greater sensation than that of Mr. 1, Boycott, Lord Erne’s land agent. His of- ! fense consisted in serving processes on de- ‘ faulting tenants. The penalty attempted was the ruin of Boycott, who is himself a large | farmer. All his laborers have been compelled to leave him and the domestics have been , driven from the house. his crops are rotting : on the grounds, his cattle are,starving, trades- “ men refuse to supply bread or meal to his family. Mr. Boycott and his wife are doing '. shepherd’s duty under a constabulary escort, v, and his whole fortune and life are alike im- § periled because he refuses to betray or desert 1 Lord Erne. Under similar threats, Mr. Simp- I son, a Scotch farmer,heret9fore leasing twentyv . two hundred acres from Lord Lucan, has been DRIVEN FROM THE COUNTRY, and nobody has been allowed to take his farm. Lord Lucan’s own life has been men need because he undertakes to cultivate his own land. This old man of eighty years exists only under police protection, and rides about his farm accompanied by a brace of constables. The Marquis of Sligo. who owns the adjoining estate, has been driven abroad, and his agent has been shot at. It is re- ported that Lord Ardihan, who returned to Ireland, intending to reside on his property in the elme county, finds that he cannot re- main there, though he is spending thousands of pounds for the relief of his tenantry. Mr. Burke.:his agent, is unable to stir abroad without police protection. The Land Lelgue leaders continue to deny their responsibility for the violence. alleging. perhaps truly. that it is not the adherents of the Land League, but which commit the murders. This sinister name has quite suddenly reappeared. Whether Ribbonmen or not. the whole population of the disturbed counties are armed to the teeth. The Land League meetings are mostly peaceahle. the :peasantrv concealing their arms under advice from the League, and the Government concealing its police from a fear of precipitating a cohsion These incidents are gathered from various sources as typical, but I might multiply ex amples indefinitely.

TIE BIBBON LODGEI THE MINISTERS EXEAUSTED THEIR V1003 in resolving on these prosecutions. and be- yond them they have no ulterior purpose, no definite policy for insuring protection to life or property. It is impossible to say what they may be driven to attempt, but hitherto individual Ministers have manifested an in- vincible repugnance to any measure of effi- cient repression. Hence no Cabinet meeting is held or summoned, and no heed is paid to the swiftly augmenting anger of the English people. The expectation of the all-important statement of Mr. Gladstone on Tuesday week at the Guildhall dinner has imposed silence on most of his colleagues, and to some ex~ tent moderates the English impatiencewhich the proposed prosecutions only slightly as- suage, but they have irritated Mr. Parnell into an angry PERSONAL ASSAULT ON ME. IOBETEB, followed by a public declaration that he cares nothing for agrarian agitation except as a step toward Home Rule, and an intimation that Ireland might rely on lrish Americans for trained organized assistance in the event of a war with England. This unwonted frankness, disclosing for the first time Mr. Parnell’s real views, hitherto masked under various pretexts of moderation, strengthens the Eng- glish convicticn that it is the first duty of the Government to enforce order, protect life,and prevent seditious agitation from swelling into armed rebellion. hampered by his pledge not to propose mea- sures of coercion without submitting measures of conciliation for the relief the tenants simultaneously. Mr. Chamberlain. speaking at Birmingham on Tuesday, reiterated the assurances that the Government would not be deterred from reforming the land laws by the League outrages. Apelogists for the Ministry have hitherto said privately that the League prosecutions, though not expected to result in convictions, would supply a basis for future appeal to Parliament to suspend the habaas corpus or renew the Coercion Act. A recent conversation with a Cabinet Minister, however, indicates no such purpose on the part of the Government. On Tuesday there passed away at Toronto. in his 80th year. William Gswthra, one of Toronto’s pioneers. Mr. Cswthrs, who, had he lived, would have observed his sightieth birthday on Friday next, spent his life. with the exception of his five earliest years in To- ronto. His father, Joseph Cswthra. a York- sliiremsn. came to Toronto with his family in the year 1806. He was a. man of small means, but he had sufficient to enable him to set up in a general business on the then sloppy and poorly built country read known as King street. Probably the first set which Mr. Joseph Cawthra performed was to advertise his business in the newspaper of the day ; the Oracle, and. as a. consequence, the following notice is found in that paper of June 21, 1806 : " J. Cmvthra Wishes to iulorm the inhpbi- hints of York and the adjacent country that he has opened an apotheoary store in the house of A. Cameron, opposite Stoyell's tav- ern. in York, where the public can be sup- plied with most articles in that. line. He has on band also a, quantity of men’s, women’s and children’s shoes and men’s hats. Also, for a few days. will be sold the following arti- cles : table knives and forks, scissors. silver watches, maps and prints. profiles, some linen, and a few bad ticks, teas, tobacco, and a. few cuska of fourth proof Cognac brandy. and a small quantity of lime juice and about fiwenty thousand Whitechapel needles.” Subsequent to Mr. Joseph Cawtbra’s death, Mr. William Cawthra has husbanded the es- tate with care, and it is now said to be worth from four to five million dollars. In the ac- quirement of this immense fortune Mr. Gaw- thre has come in contact with large numbers of people, all of whom speak of him as n. thor- ough business man. In the course of his life he has been connected with many financial institutions and companies. He was a direc- tor of the old Bank of Upper Canada. Since the origin of the Bank of Toronto he has been on the Board of that institution. He has been for years on the Board of Directors of the Consumers’ Gas Company. and the day before his death he was reâ€"elected to the di- rectorate. One of the pioneers of Toronto, he was a member of the York Pioneers’ Soci- ety. He was one at the first commissioners appointed by the Government on the Lunatic Asylum Board. NEW YORK, Oct. 30.â€"â€"The steamship Cali- fornia. from London. reports that on the 10th she sighted the British bark Macedonia waterâ€"logged and helpless in the waves. The boat lowered from the steamer was unable on account of the heavy sea to approach the bark closely, and the crew of the latter numbering eleven. seemed panic-stricken, and none tried to reach the boat. The line thrown from the bark to the boat was broken. As night was approaching the boat was oblged to return to the steamer, which it did with great difficulty. She hove to all night, but in the morning nothing was to be seen of the distressed vessel. The late of the crew is unknown. LONDON, Oct. 28,â€"A terrible south-welt gale is reported from Plymouth last night. Daybreak showed five vessels stranded, but the crews were all saved. The steamer Gel- lert. from New York for Hamburg, is detained in Plymouth Sound by the weather. The gale is now subsiding. Reports continue to be received of the damage done by the gala around the coast. A schooner entering the harbor at South Shields foundered. all hands being lost excepting the mate. Two steam trollers were capsized when entering the same harbor. Twelve persons were drowned. No telegrams have been received from Paris to- day in consequence of the storm. A special dispatch to the Toronto Globe says that the half-yearly meeting of the Grand Trunk Railway Company was held Thursday. There was a large attendance of the share- holders, Sir Henry Tyler presiding. The re- port stated that the half year ending June last, the last three months. and the last week, were respectively the best in the Company’s history. It spoke highly of the prospects of the concern. The report was unanimously adopted, and a. gratuity of two thousand five hundred pounds sterling was voted to Mr. Hickson in recognition of his services, espe- cially in oonneetmn with the Chicago exten- uon. â€"â€"â€"At Drummondville, Archy Thomplon fell over a barrel of cider and out his lip ; and Samuel Moore let a barrel of cider fall on his leg and broke it.

The Brantford“ Courier tells this story: " Some three or four years ago two sisters left this city and took up their residence in Ham» ilton, where both secured good situations. The girls were smart, active and intelligent. having been carefully trained by a kind and loving mother, but who. when it was least ex pected. was taken suddenly ill, and in a few short days departed to that happy hunting ground where sorrow is no more, leaving the two girls and an only son, the youngest of the family. For a year or more the house, al- though desolate to all. was made comforts ble and as cheerful, for the busy hands of the little girls were at work, as it was possible to make it without the pleasant smile of the wife and mother. However, the father longed for companionship other than that of his chil- dren, and he took unto himself another helpmate, as he thought she would prove, but whose love of liquor has had the, con- trary sheet, for not only has she made her own life miserable, but she‘has led her hus- band almost to ruin through the degrading influence that liquor has wrought upon both. As previously stated, the daughters left and went to Hamilton. leaving their only brother at the mercy of this miser. able woman and unfortunate father Yester- day, one of the daughters returned to this city and asked if she Would be allowed to take her brother with her to her home in Hamil- ton, where she might clothe and educate him. The father was willing, but the step-mother would not hear of such a thing, and the poor girl, heartsick and sorrowful, called upon His Worship James Weyms, yesterday afternoon and made application for his assistance to help her to get possession of the boy. His Worship arranged matters satisfactorily, and it is to be hoped should the boy grow to manhood that he will not forget the loving kindness of his sister. The daughter asked of His Worship if it was not possible for her father to be released from the woman who has wrought ruin upon him, and His Wor' ship very kindly advised the best method to be adopted in this respect, if it was really a fast that poor old Charley meant reformation. It is seldom we hear of children taking such an unselfish interest in their own relatives, but when such genuine affection is exhibited it is worthy of mention. It would be well if there were more of this class of people in the world.” A DESCENDANT OF THE MARQUIS OF STEYNE. Lord Henry Seymour was a man of great strength and stature, and with tastes like those of the late Marquis ofWaterford. Some new freak of his was always amusing and con- founding Paris. These would not have been tolerated in one of lower rank and less wealth ; but it was known that he was always ready to pay for his peculiar pleasures, and make lavish indemnities to all sufferers by his humor. The French owe to Lord Henry the successful introduction of racing into their country. He piqued himself on driving faster horses than anyone in the Bois. and it was one of the traditional but probably exagger- ated legends of the boulevards that he had expended vast sums in securing horses with a View to out trot some mysterious stranger who contrived to keep in advance of him. On one occasion he was bold enough to ” cut in” in front of the king’s carriage, which brought down an order from the Court to quit France at once. This, however. he contrived to have revoked; Lord Henry had a. splendid hotel on the boulevard, at the corner of the Rue Taitbout, one floor of which he had fitted up as a gym- nasium, devoted to fencing, boxing and other athletic pastimes. Here the leading pro- fessors and amateurs met three times a week to practice and exhibit their skill, and were treated hospitably by theirnoble host. Here, too, were found a whole tribe of sporting hangers-on, horse dealers, English grooms, farceurs and toadies. Those who enjoyed the privilege of his intimacy were often the ob- jects of a surt of bufioonery. pushed to an ex- tent that no man of spirit would have endured. He delighted when he had discovered some weakness or prejudice in these companions. This gave him an opportunity for gratifying his humor. Thus he invited down to shoot a certain count who had a sort of morbid an- tipathy to cats. This noble. returning late, fatigued with his sport, was just getting into bed when he was thrown into an agony by finding an enormous dead cat between the sheets. When. with much repulsion, he had brought himself to seize it and fling it out of the window. and, overcome with sleep, was about to lie down, some concealed jets of water began to play on his bed, drenching him. When he flew to the door in a rage he found it fastened, and a roar of laughter let him know that his tormentors were en- joying his sufferings. The next day he was informed that his host was gone, but had left his compliments, with a wish that he would make himself quite at home and stay as long as it suited him. The Frenchman, beside himself with rage.came up to Paris, but could not contrive to meet his host. He sent his seconds with a challenge, but his lord- ship was not to be seen. This was part of the rich lord’s systemâ€"a contemptuous de- termination not to be provoked or take offence or allow that he was accountable for such jests as he condescended to. Strange to say. he succeeded in establishing a privilege for himself. Once, put out by the affected dandyism of one of his friends, he contrived to have some grains of gunpowder intro- duced into some of the choice cigars for which his house was famous. The dandy face was much scorched by the explosion. His host roared. The victim retorted roughly, it would seem, with a blow, but the noble jes. ter was not to be provoked into hostile measures. Useful friends and toadies were always at hand to interpose and deprecate extreme measures, while their patron kept himself reserved until the matter “ blew over.” One 0! his dependents a man of small means, and who was fond of horses, though an indifierent rider, he insisted should ride out with him. But it was noticed his lord- ship’s friend was invariably mounted on some vicious animal ; any horse in the stable noted for temper being allotted to the unlucky equestrian. He was so often put in peril of his life that he was at last obliged to forego the honor of riding with his noble friend. But even more disagreeable were his tricks at the expense of those who were in a. lower class, and whom the sense of his own dignity ought to have taught him to spare. When the fencingrmsater had exchanged his clothes for the professional dress, he. would secretly cover them with a peculiar powder, known as “poudre a gratter"â€"â€"scratching powderâ€"and enjoy the tortures of the victim. Another trick, which he repeated often under various forms, was that of putting jalap into choco- late or coffee. A young portage. who was at one of the French lyceums, came to wish him “A happy New Year," and the usual disinterestedness of the achoolboy’s compliments no doubt roused his cynicism. “At your age,” he said. ”boys are fond of sweets. Come here to-mor- row. and you shall have enough to feast the whole college. Be sure you bring a cab." The school-boy was on the following day loaded with daintiesâ€"hoxes of hon-buns. which he nova sway lo All his companions some two WHOLE NO. 1,165.â€"â€"-N0, 24. [From All The You Round.) GOOD GIRLS. hundred in number, and even to the profess. sore. In a low hours the whole college was taken ill and it was found that the “ goodies" had been saturated with medicine. The matter was taken up seriously, but as usual, the English lord was prodigal of his money, and ready to make amends in any pecuniary way. “ You my friends ?" he would say sneer- ingly to those who so styled themselves ; " get along. You come here because it amuses you and it suits you." The same thought occurred to him in reference to his servants. There were two or three who had grown gray in his serviceâ€"a favorite body servant ; a trusty English groom named Briggs ; and, above all, a poor broken-down gentleman of good blood, actually an Italian marquis, who for years had occupied a posi- tion of genteel dependence about him, look- ing after his guns and other arms, serving out the precious cigars, and making some " particular" ean de-cologne, for which he had a receipt. His “ master" af- fected to treat him with great favor, though he was never weary of rallying him on his titles and good blood. But in his case.“ in that at the old servants, the idea no doubt occurred to him :“These fellows think them- selves quite secureâ€"count on large legacies as their right. This is the secret of their long stay in my service. They begin to look on it as their right." Then came the notion of punishing them for this assumed ofleuce. And accordingly, in the disposal of his vast fortune, not a. half penny was left to the broken-down marquis or to any of the old servants. His heirs. however, generously allotted them a pension of sixty pounds a year each. So with his charities, as he would have called them, which were often splendid, but which he carried 05 as caprices or bite of len- sation. He was once at a fair seen to give a remarkably handsome but wicked-looking bandit or gipsy of sixteen twenty pounds. and when asked if that was not a piece of cruel kindness to the boy, replied coolly “ that it would give him a taste for money ; and that when it was spent he would probably go and murder some one to get more.” Indeed. this was a favorite pleasure of his, this picking out some miserable wrench and making him rich for a few days. An Interesting Letter from the Far West â€"The Weather and the Cropsâ€"Pro- gress in Settlement. A correspondent writing from Fort Edmon- ton, on Sept. 24th.; saxs : _ I owe you my thanks for the Senora-res. which comes so regularly. The season is very backward but the crops are all harvested, and although the summer was a wet onethey are most bountiful. Donald Ross had oats which measured 6 ft. 8; in. ct straw and yielded over 60 bushels to the acre. Wheat and barley are also a very large crop. as are potatoes. The same man has potatoes which weigh as high as 25 lbs.each. Our Agricultural Exhibition will be held on Oct. 5th. and the grain show on New Year’s Day. There was a good deal of new ground broken this past summer and there will be quite twice as much broken next season. We have received an addition to our numbers in the shape of five or six new settlers, some of whom came in by Winnipeg. the others by the Missouri River and Fort McLeod. They all seem to be greatly pleased with the country and have al- ready taken up claims. Plenty of good land can be had on the north side of the river, three miles from the fort, and on the opposite side, one mile from the river. Some prefer the valley of the Sturgeon, twelve miles away. and really it is a beautiful country. There is a lack of wood in that district, however, which makes it inconvenient. In the neighborhood of Edmonton a person can take up land which will be all prairie, one- half prairie and one-half bush, or all bush, whichever he pleases. The country is well wooded and watered. Coal is abundant and seams of it crop out of the river bank in all directions. I have used some 01 it and it burns to a white ash. The past season has been a bad one for miners as the water has been so high. There are not more than half a dozen of. hem on the river and they make from s3 to“ 5 per day. The season for steam boating has been most favorable. The Hud- son Bay Co.’s steamer Lily has made five trips between here and Prince Albert and ex- pects to make one more. The steam saw and grist mill wich was purchased in Galt, Out" by McLeod, Norris cl: Belcher started running today, and the Hudson Bay Co.’s new grist and saw mill (steam) which was built in Mon. treal, is awaiting the arrival of the Montreal ex- pert to put it in motion. These mills will be a great convenience as we have been depending on two little water-power mills, which were utterly inadequate to supply the wants of the settlements. At Big Lake (B. 0. mission. 9 miles west of Edmonton) great progress has been made in breaking up land during this summer and they will have an increased acre- age of 50 per cent. The same increase will be obtained at Fort Saskatchewan. the Mounted Police barracks, 18 miles northeast of Edmonton. This settlement expects to out-do Edmonton as soon as the C. P. R. is built. as they expect it will cross the river at that point. It certainly is about the best place for a railway crossing, but about the time it is made Edmonton will be so far ahead they will never catch it. Several bands of cattle. of from 80 to 120 head each. have been driven in this summer and met with ready sale at fair prices. They came from the Bow River grazing grounds. Prices for dairy cows and domestic stock gen- erally are high. A milch cow is worth from 845 to 855 each, and oxen from $75 to 390 each. Horses are high. and good imported Montana horses or from British Columbia bring from $100 to $150, while the native ponies can be bought for from $50 to $70. Owing to the high rate of freight (100. per pound from Winnipeg to Edmonton) prices of provisions are very high. Bacon, 85c.- sugar, 30c; tea, 750.; rice, 200.; dried apples, 300.; and so on. Wheat is worth $2; barley, $1.25; cats. 31 ; potatoes, 51; butter, 500.; eggs. 50c; hay, 312 prr ton; beef. in winter. 90. per 1b. Living is high, but you realize s good price on products. A New Locomotive in Paterson that it is Claimed can Make that Speed. There was turned out from the Grant Locomotive Works in Paterson, N. J ., yester~ day, a new locomotive 0t peculiar construction, intended for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. Eugene Fonteine, the inventor. claims that this locomotive can be made to go 90 miles an hour, while the machinery is run no faster than an ordinary locomotive traveling at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The machinery is all on top of the boiler instead of under it. The driving wheel rests on another wheel, which in turn rests on the track. This lower wheelhas two rims. one a foot smaller than the other. The outer rim touches the track, and the inner or smal- ler rim supports the driving wheel. The motion of the driving wheel thus communi- cated is magnified by this arrangement» so that the lower wheel turns one-third faster than the driving wheel. and so the speed is increased. The smaller rim of the lower wheel bears to the larger rim a relation simi- lar to that of A very large hub to any wheel. Of course any rate of motion communicated to such a hub is greatly magnified at the periphery of the wheel. In the same way the motion of the driving wheel in this case is magnified by the peculiar arrangement 01 the wheel it rests upon. Mr. Fontaine believes that his locomotive, if it were not for the in. creased resistance of the air, could be run at the rate of 107 miles an hour. He expects it to make 90 miles an hour easily. The machinery of the new locomotive, which stood propped up on blocks. was put in motion on Saturday with satisfactory results. Many railroad men have visited it.â€"â€"-N¢w York Sun. â€"Cnrrie Grinlinton. of Acton, " comin from the pump with a pail of wutnr, Ilippe and fell, dislocating her elbow," which shows that Carrie Grinlimon eAn’t ptoporly Curio u pail .1 watt.
