Regimental divisions will be marked out; and if it is decided to divide the Dominion into two hundred regimental divisions, Ontario will have 88, Quebec 08, Nova Bcotia 24, New Brunswick 20. The bill provides for the appointment of s eolonel and two majors and other necessary oicers for every regimental division with captains` lieutenants and other oicers as may be necessary. To furnish the quota of service men, Upper Canada will have to furnish 17,500; Lower Canada 13,500; New Bruns- wick4,000, and Nova Scotia 5,000. If it be necessary to resort to the ballot in any regimental division the selection will be made that from unmarried men between 18 and I0, then from the unmarried men be- tween 80 and 45, and next from the remain- ing classea. run, in . - . - The enrollment is to be made by captain: in every alternate year.

Colonel Mnodougall says the ` force is for the most. part fairly efficient` l and animated by a good spirit; but he notes that it. labours under a sense of the 1 inequalities of the service. The only sound I 1 basis, he cmslders, on which, in a country i like Cnnsds, any successful system of corn- L pulsory militin service can he conducted is " in the practical recognition of the princi- lple that every man not actually contri-' l ' bcting his personll service during any one `iyear, should pay a tax in money which , should hear some proportion to the pro- perty t'nr_ which the military force of the 5 . country is to afford protection. [Io urges 1 thnt without the practical recognition of this principle it is impossible that the 5 compulsory militia service ofthe country - , can ever be cheerfully performed hy those on whom it is imposed. He suggests that either I tax proportioned to property be imposed on :11 not serving, supposing the service to be compulsory; or, in the case where the service is by voluntary en- :4 listment the rate of pay must be a reel , compensation for the loss of time entailed on the miiitisman by his military duties. Another weak point in the Volunteer service, the .-Klljutant General points out, is the absence ot proper power for enforcing `discipline and obedience to orders. This defect, which Colonel Macdougall merely notesin these brief terms,is inseparable from the system of volunteering. Discipline _ snd obedience must almost wholly depend ,f i upon the good spirit, intelligence and de- , I votion of the Volunteers. These qualities ciwould he fully called out in actual ser- fiviee, but in that case the law gives simple 0 i power. , ,_ __- ,,...,..v ......,._,.

The Adjutant General is an advocate for I. paid battalion staff. He says that in or- dcr that u battalion should be eicient it is indispensable that it should be provided with an Adjutant and 'Sergeaut-Major, who should give up their whole time to their military duties. "II: is n delusion to imagine that an efficient. military force can be kept up without a properly paid permnnent sta', and the attempt to do so can only lead to an unprotable expendi- ture of the public money.

In the province ot Quebec 69 rs: clues and 886 second-class certicates were taken during 1867. In Ontario 67 rs:-class and 422 second-class certicates were taken.

Business had detained him to an unusually late, or rather early hour, and when returning home he discov- ered smoke issuing from the shop of Messrs Young & 00., and his attention being thu drawn to the building he noticed a light in the shop, perceptible from the window over the front door. He immediately gave the alarm and endeavoured to arouse the inmates who reside` in the upper portion of the building, which, after considerable difficulty, he succeeded in doing, Mr Young, upon being apprised of the nature of the alarm, endeavoured to escape through the shop or low- or portion of the building, but was unable to do so from the dense smoke with which it was titled, and immediately returned to the window above and requested that a ladder might be brought to enable him and his wife and brother to escape. The bar tender of the American hotel, situated directly opposite, had been aroused by the alarm and last no time in sending parties for ladders, and by their aid the escape of the occupants af- ter a brief interval was effected. The engines and re brigade were promptly on the spot, and there was a good supply of water on hand, but owing to the dense smoke with which the build- ing was lled, more especially the lower part, their eorts were for some time rendered in a measure abortive, or at the best uncertain. The smoke was so dense in the shop that after the doors and windows had been forced, it was found impoasibll to enter in order to remove the goods, and a long time elapsed before anything of con- sequence could be rescued. About half-past. three o clock the untiring a'orts of the remen, aided by the crowd, which by this time had be- come very great, succeeded so far in subduing the ames that an entrance to the store was ef- fected, and the boss was directed with something like certainty to the immediate locality of the ames, which very soon resulted in their total extinction, not, however, before the whole of the interior of the shop had been gutted, and a great I portion of its contents destroyed. n__ _l.|__, IJFUUCBI Wlll UV VIEUUIUH-IJ \....v._V_V_ The trial of Fnlardcnu, the broker, has occupied two days in the Court of Queen`: ` Bench and is not yet concluded. -I - ...... .. n.....l.~.A DCUUU IULI II HUI J1.-U vuuv ----- -.

If you rent I farm to :1 men, and the house or burn on it in burned down, you are etlll entitled to the rent, end you ere not bound to rebuild. The original idee was to make the tenant care- ful of them. if this is wrong the Legislature ought to put it right. Such he: been the luv for six centuries, and on web we meet obey It. if it is herd thet the tenant should continue liable for the rent until the determination of the ten- nncy, it in elao hard that the owner should ulti- mately have to bear the ion. Nor am I prepar- ed to say that the tenants ought not to be put on the careful mnnngernent of the landlord's property. Further, where there is it general covenant by the lessee to repair, and leave re- pnired at the end of the term, he is liable to re- build in case of the destruclion of the premises by fire or even (aetu Dei) by the act of God ; for it was hi: own fault that he did not stipulate against such a contingency. In Hist nun: huh-urn no the nlainii nnla-in in- UV iuuucr. The re occurred on the fteenth of last July, and the plaintiff, mistaking the luv, thought it was Henderson's duty to repair. This is clear trom a. letter written by him on the fteenth of August, stating the destruction of his premises, and WI rning `the defendant that he would hold him responsible if he did not repair them within a reasonnble time. We find Henderson, too, supposing himself liable not only to repair this building but to rebuild the I"8:l, for we nd him about this time commencing to do so. He pro- posed to raise them nearly ve feet higher than thev were before the re, Pluinti` saw the plans. Is there any evidence that he objected to the intended chsnge in the height of his shop? Was it likely than he would desire tt want of uniformity by having the others higher than his own? The contractors got into possession on the fteenth of August, and were to have the plaintiff : shop ready in six weeks from that time; was the plalntitf dissatised with that ar- rangement? The action was commenced, fram- ed on this idea. You wentvoluntarily into the possession of my premises for the purpose of re- pairing them, and wrongfully kept possession for I. longer time than you shoutd have done. The denim-ntinn man: in III-run:-r 9."... st 41... -u Iuuscs uuw |uIl1' you auuutu utava none." The declaration states in strong terms " that the defendant wilfully neglected and refused to complete the repairs within a ressounble time or to leave the premises, but for the purpose of an- noying snd harassing the pisinti`, and for the purpose of preventing the plaintilffrom carrying on his business as it. grocer, wrongfully withheld the premises from the plaintiff." This means that Henderson purposely delayed the repairs. Now, there is no evidence to show this. The witnes- ses any that the progress of the work was facil- ituted and urged on by Henderson in good faith. Occasional delnys do occur in the erection of buildings, and seldom is anything better then the rudeet structure put upss quickly as it might have been. The second count of the declara- tion is in trespass for breaking into the plain. tilf `s premises and expelling itn therefrom, but this statement is negatived b the p1eintiE's let- ter, which shows that the defe dent entered with his sanction.
