Macdonald and his Governinent com-! mitted when they yielded to the. treason- able clamors of Nova Scotia for better terms." The consequence of that one false step has been to produce dissatisfaction in the other Provinces of the Confoder- | for anadditional allowance from the Doinnion Treasury. ; New Brunswick thinks 'she is as much entitled to an additional subsidy 8 Nova Scotia; and Manitoba, too-=] notwithstanding all tha great advantages the Government has heaped upon that Province--is beginning to agitate the ques- | tion of an increased subsidy. No doubt the ! Province of British Colminbia will fellow next, and then we may expect to see the Province of Quebec knocking at the door of the Dominion Treasury and demanding an additional 'subsidy. We did not ex. pect to see the 15,000 inhabitants of Nova | | Scotia agitalingthe questionof an incfeas- ed subsidy at so early a period ; but it all comes from the one false step made by the Macdohald-Cartier Government.-- | tr ----tm-- | A whole Settlement Devastated bya Mad Dog | Mr Bunael Scranton , Pa.; a few days since returned home , I ' of they Republican the following story : He says | | cattle and sheep are dyingfrom the disease, | a | and it is feared that some persons whohad been doctoring the animals, not knowing what was the ma ter with them, will fall | The peo- | ple are very much exercised, and are liv- ng in perfect; dread since they have found i out tho facts' and causes of the disease | among the bfute creation.
