BIEHMND HILL {£888- Andrew Mitchell, of Winterbourne, Waterloo County, was next examined. Two agents called on him in the fall of 1885, representing the Dominion Hay Fork Company. Andrew would not allow them to put up a. fork in his barn, nor consent to become their agent ; but said the boys, perhaps, would sell some for them. Finally Andrew did sign an order for one- fork, which turned out to be for fifteen forks afterwards, the order having been forged. Then comes the old story 2 the swindlers obtained notes from Mitchell. Peter Wood of Brantf'ord, bought a lot of notes obtained as above and many interesting facts were brought to the surface during his examination. In answer to a question put by a member of the Committee. Peter got Off this bit of sarcasm : “ I should think a farmer was certainly crazy to give 315 a bushel i‘oflwheat. The man that does that ought to have the franchise taken away from him and a commission appointed in every municipality to look after such.” The following is the remainder of the official prize list of the York Township Agricultural Society’s Fair which was held at Lansing, on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept.

Mr. Levi Turner, of Trafalgar, Halâ€" ton County, was next. called and examâ€" ined. Turner’s ease differed somewhat from that of' Kelly‘s, but; the swindling seed wheat men get there just the same. He appointed Mr. Turner agent, and the latter expected to scoop in any quantity of filthy lucre on the head. of it. In order to give Mr. Turner an interest in the business, however, the agent represented that it was necessary for him to give his note for $240. In the pathetic words of Levi himself,â€" " He said I want a note for $240. 80, foolish asl was, 1 gave him the note and he went off with it.” Of course he did; that’s what he visited you for, LEVi. Mr. Alem R. Kelly, of Aneaster,0nt., was the first witness called and examined by the Committee. Mr. Kelly has the reputation of being a shrewd, wide awake farmer, but his evidence showed that he was far from being proof against the wiles of that swindling concern, the Ontario Grain and Seed Company, and got bitten to the tune of $180.00, with interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. He paid $15 per bushel for seed wheat, his reasons For indulging in such wild cat speculation beingr (1) the “soundness” of the Ontario Seed Company, and (2) the agent’s promise to purchase at least 24: bushels of grain from him (Kelly) at $10 per bushel. A Select Committee was appointed by the Dominion Government for the purpose of ascertaining some of the swindling modes adopted to rob the farmers. The following is part of the evidence taken : Speaking of the result of the Cardâ€"- well election the Brampton Conservator remarks: “There is a lesson to be learned from the recent Cardwell elec- tion. Let those whose duty and privilege it is to learn not overlook it‘ Ridings as safe as Uardwell have been lost to the once dominant party. Abuse of the kind heaped upon Mr. Stubbs’ head by a leading party organ does more harm to the Conservative cause than good. Mr. Stubbs has never been aught else than a. warm supporter and friend of the Conservative cause and the leaders of the Conservative party. In this respect he stands the equal of Mr. \Vhite, and is in no way different. Both of them are friends of Sir John A. Macdonald in a political sense, and neither of them should have been maligned or reviled by any Conservative newspaper.

Notwithstanding all these dangers. such is the beauty of the surrounding prospect and such the pleasing kind of awe which I felt at the time, that it never once struck my mind that I was in the least danger until the whole was over and we had got back again to the entrance of the wood. But to return to my talc. Having scram- bled over these rocks until we got pretty near the Fall, we found the spray begin to fall like hard rain; here Mr. Humphry stopped. but Mr. Douglas and myself went on until we got within about Twenty yards of the Falls. Here we were in some doubt whether or no we should strip and go as far as we could under the Fall; this we however vat length rejected, as we never found any one pretends to have gone further than under the first small shoot, which we thought unworthy the trouble of undressing for, there are reports of people that have gone under the great shoot but who they were I. could not learn, althoth I have examined several who asserted they had been under the Falls of Niagara, yet, when questioned closely upon the subject, it ap- peared to have been only the small sp0ut they had been under. Yet I by no means mean to assert there is not that kind of cavity betwixt the under part of the rock and the fall itself, that would admit of a man going under for some distance. On the contrary from the Table Hock being so very much undermined near its base, I con- ceive it to be highly probable the rock over which the Fall rolls is the same, but as the fallingr of the spray is so very thick and troublesome as to prevent your seeing,r and almost. to prevent your breathing even where we were, I do not conceive it is pOs- sible for a man to exist under the great shoot itself. However, we did not advance ‘thus far without finding something which ‘had so far as I could find never been spoken i of before. Within a few yards of the place ‘we turned round, I could perceive a very strong smell of sulphur, which 1 remarked to Mr. Douglas and on further examination The reduchons are mmuly on sugar, on n It the duty is cut 50 percentH on rice, and on t0< bateco, it being proposed Lo abolish the entire te- lmceo internal revenue tax. A strong efl'ort will certainly be made to have the tax on cigarettes retained. The tax on alcohol used in the arts is also abolished, and an attempt llus also been made to incor'yomte administrative provisions which may protect the uovernmout against frzLud. As to the metal schedules, the sub- con’xmittee has been sorely vexed. Steel mils have been scheduled and rescheduled, and though the reduction now rests at $142, before the bill is given L the Sennte itself this provi- “ u may go to {)0 per tonâ€"making the duty 50. So far as tin-plate is concerned, the Comâ€" mittee may even (Lle for an increased duty. The timplate nmnufacturers any thut they couldn’t lixig with_the present tariff. The bi11,us it staunds,is unfinished, and as to many of its provisions the Republicans in the Senate are not yet tbgroed. The text is volum- nious, embracing the Mils bill, reprinth entire, with u line struck through what is desired to be canceled. It is completed by the Senate bill in the shape of all amendment or substitute. The letter press makes nearly 250 pages. The reduc- tiun proposed is variously estimated at from sixty-fivn‘to eightyâ€"five million dollars per uninin} The Republican Senetors' teritf bill has been reported. This longexpectefl measure was solemnly delivered to the full committee on Wednesday by the subâ€"committee, and at the ad- journment every member yielded up his copy to the clerk of the Committee, who placed it under lock and key. One copy only found its way out: of the room, and thub was carefully sealed and sent; by it trusty messenger to Senator Beck, who lies sick at Fortress Monroe. This secrecy is said to be in C(llIlDlill’lOIlt to Senator Beck, Who desires an opportunity to see the bill before cenmleting his report against it.

Our Washmgton Letter. ( From our own Correspondent.) View to Niagara, . It. may not be imptoper here to take notice of an opinion which is held by some people of this place, who seem to think the original situation of the Falls was at the landing, which as before observed is seven miles from where they now are, and that through a series of years the water has worn away the Channel that. distance. Among those who favour this opinion is a Mr. Hamilton, a merchant at Niagaa and a man Ofvery good understanding, who says also that he has examined the face of the adjacent country, which has confirmed his opinion, and in particular conceives the place which has before been taken notice of by the name of the Lion’s Den, to have been made by a channel of the river fortn- erly passing through it. How far this may be true I do not know; I did not hear this opinion until after I had seen the place, at which time no such idea ever entered my head. The principal reasons they seem to give for this opinion are two; First, from the alirnpt vista. of the banks of the river at the Landing, which from being at a muder ate height and almost every where accessiâ€" ble from the water’s edge, they become at once very high and perpendicular clilts; at. the same time the river becomes much more narrow and rapid than beforeâ€"JFIw second reason seems to have more r ason in it, and is. that according to their lan- guage the Falls have altered their position or retreated since the memory of men. Having made all the inquiries I could con- cerning this movement, I found that about twenty years since, there was a proiecting rock at the end of the centre island which had fallen and seems to be the only ground work for this strongr contested Opinion. One thing: I must grant, that it is possible that in a very long series of years they may alter a little and for this reason; the spray arising from the bottom continually striking against the clilts wears it away and forms a kind of cavity over which a large rock pro- jects, as the Table Rock already tnentioned. which, when it becomes so undermined that it is not able to sustain the weight of water which overflows it in great floods, must. naturally full. How long ittnuy take the water to excavate its clifts it) this manner I cannot determine; all I can say is, the place where the rock fell twenty years ago does not yet appear to be the least worn by its influence, nor does any one pretend to remember the Table Rock any other than it now is, projecting very far over its base. By which I conceive we may fairly conclude it will take many centuries to bring about this revolution, which when done only alters one small part of the Fall for a yard or two. At that rate, how long;r it wouid have taken to have retreated from the landing Ishall leave to those who pretend from such causes to ascertain the age of our terrestrial globe. But even if we should for a moment grant the possibility of their favourite maxim, what is become of the immense quantity of stone, which must from time to time have fallen during its movement. This seems to me to be a question none can answer, cer- tain agreat quantity of stone must have been in a channel above seven miles long and from a half to a whole mile broad, and from seventy to eighty feet deep. Had it fallen in such quantities as it is natural to suppose it is very strange the fall should keep its present perpendicular form; it is by far more natural to think had this been the case that these immense rocks, repos- ing where they fell, would have altered the Fall from a perpendicular to a strong rapid. 3ut say the advocators for this opinion, the force ofthe water has driven them away from its foot. This may also be true in a small measure, for where it is, the rocky part of the river would not; break off so abruptly just at the same place where the mountain ends, which is at present the case, for not more than two hundred yards from the end of this roclty rapid part which is the spot they say the Fall originally occu pied, the River expands itself and becomes deep, muddy and tranquil, which course it continues for about 9 miles by the water to the mouth, the outside of which is encum- bered with a bar of sand. I also when at the Fall observed another circumstance which seems to be against their having been once so far down the river. Below the present situation of them is a circle of more than a quarter perhaps a mile or more in diameter whilst the outlet is not :so wide I conceive this part. has been widened by the same means the Falls have retired, as when you get. beyond the influence of the spray the river assumes its natural breadth. Speaking to Mr. Birch, who lives at the mouth of the Chipuway (Jr-eels, he said he had perceived a regular flux and reflux in the Creek resembling the tide of the Sea. Mr. Hamilton who I have before mentioned, says it is not a regular flux or reflux at all, but that occasionally the current rutis up instead of down, and what appears at first more extraordinary is, that the Creek has its source to the West and runs to the Eastward yet it is a westerly or a wind directly down the Creek which occasions the Current to run up it to the Westward. ‘This he accounted for in some measure to . my satisfaction. It is well known that Lake yErie is to the Westward of this place in ywhicha Westerly wind has great powers land driving its waters into this its outlet <clnimed “ It is just like the washings of a gun barrel,” although he declares he had never heard the Harrowgete water cour- psrcd to that mixture-i Haring staid here crsome time contemplating the grandeur of the object before us, our time passed tawny insensibly until we found by our watches that it was high time we should turn our backs upon the scene from which we had received so much delight. On our return we employed ourselves in picking up a kind of stone which is said to be the spray of the Fall petrified, but whether it is or no, I willnot pretend to determine; this much I can say, that it grows or forms ilself’ into cavities in the cleft about half way to the top, from whence it falls from Itime to time; its composition is a good ‘deal like 9. piece of white marble which has been burnt in the tire, so that it may be pulverized with ease. Whatever may be its composition, it does not appear that iti will henr to be exposed to the air, as some pieces which seem to have fallen longer than the rest are quite soft, while such as have lately fallen are of a much harder nature. Having again made our way back to the edge ofthe wood where we were to renscend, we sat down to take some refresh- ment. very well satisfied to have seen every- thing worth our notice except the rainbow, which very often forms itselfin the spray. ‘During the time we were lamenting the loss of this object, it made its appearance in a most perfect state across she highest part of the Fall, which made our sight of this place as complete as possible. We now began our ascent and after visiting Painter's Point, in our way we come to a place where we had marked the trees; we found one or two of the first but had done it so very ill we could not truce our way back by them Wetherefore struck into the wood and en- deavoured to keep the sound of the Falls directly behind us, by which means we found our way by a much nearer route than the one we had descended, from which we again soon reached the house we had left our horses at, after an absence of five hours and a half, from which time we had been employed walking about the place. , n X we pews-Eyed 3 Email rill which riuacmrdrd Hx'mn the rocks above and all ibe moms} : over which it passed Heemed cowmd \riah In whitish Mud of slime.
