The flesh of dogs is eaten when nothing bet- ter can be had, and as this is frequent- ly the case, the Crces' stock of these $ animals is very limited. During his residence at Battleford, Mr. Read of English and American Watches of SPRINGFIELD he says he doesn’t want to set eyes on '8 mam" But the strangest sight he saw was in July last, when about 2,000 Indians, some of them from distances of nearly 300 miles, assembled near Battleford to hold their grand annual religious dance and also to “ make braves." The re- ligious ceremony is conducted on the Tanner principle, nothing being eaten or drunk during four days, which are spent in vigorous dancing to the music of native instruments, at the conclusion of which period eating and drinking is resumed and Tanner’s gluttouy is heat- en all to nothing. The “braves” are made by sticking wooden skewers about the size of ordinary pencils through the flesh of the candidate’s breast or shoul- der, and then fastening him by a long lariat to the centrepole ot the“ church " or attaching him to the halter of an old used-up horse. In the former case the skewered buck dances and jumps, and shoots hallclujah, and flings himself about until the flesh gives way or the skewer breaks; and in the latter he walks off, without looking back, with the old horschwhich stops occasionally and jerks him tremendouslyâ€"until the sonic result follows. Sometimes flesh and skewer hold out until the Indian 104’ faiuts; in which case he is released and ~ becomes a brave just the same.

The two elections held on Saturday leave the Government majority in the House of Commons undiminished, but, paid and orders drawn on the treas a very significant change in public op- inion. In both constituenciesâ€" the one a city division and the other an almost constituency still declares for the Govern- ment the gain was really larger there than it min the rural district. In West Tomato the keenly fought contest of 1878 resulted in a Conservative majority of 637, which was reduced on Saturday to 262. In North Ontario Mr. Wheler was elected in 1878 by a majority of 54; on Saturday he was reelected by amajority of 156. There is no pom- ibility of mistaking the significance On these figures, especially when it is borne in mind that the total vote polled in West Tomato was unusually large. They show that the tide has turned, as it was sure- to do sooner orlater, against the Government, and that the predicted re action against the unnecessarily hurd- ensome protective tariff has unquestion- ably sct in. If the Government think differently they are welcome to act on the assumption. But while matters are so favourable as they are we deeply regret the result in West Toronto, which, apparently, has not yet had enough of the coal tax and of the Redpath sugar monopoly. We regret it not so much for party reasons, because we believe that the best thing the Government can do for the Oppoâ€" silica is to persevcrct for three years more in their iniquitous fiscal policyâ€" but because we would have been glad for Gardner post-mas.

SHEEP Burmaâ€"A great many sheep from the vicinity of this village have lately been taken away to the front, and as among the lots there were sever- al very inferior looking ones, we infer the country's sake to see a still more cm- phatic intimation from the public that a measure of relief from uncalled-for burdens must be granted. One vote more or less for or against the Government will make little. difference in so far as carrying measures through the. House of Commons is concerned, but the election of a Liberal for West Toronto at the present juncture would have been, as the Finance Minister himself admitted, a severe blow to the Administration. Though the Liberals failed to win West Toronto, they have come out of the con- test with the greatest credit to themselves They took up promptly the gauntlet that had been thrown down, entered into the struggle with tremendous odbs against them, and if they failed to win the scat they at least succeeded in perfecting a splendid organization and paving the way to a future victory in the same field.

Instead of taxing the poor man's fuel and clothing, patents of nobility are sold for round sums. For enuobling an ordinary citizen in the least. degree the charge is about $1,000, and at. each promotion the fee is increased by u sim~ ilur sum. For instance, the grocer who desires to faintly tinge his cir culutiug fluid with bloc must pay $1,000,- to becomcn baron or Viscount he must pay $2,000 more; the title of“couut " brings Pmvc that the idea 0f 501" money has $3,000 in the market; a nmrquisnto is Dominion, $80,000,000, and the best means of transporting this to the cast was occupying the attention of the Government, foremost among which was this water route. carriage by five cents a bushel was a direct enhancement of the value of the grain, to the producer, and every helping the exchange of the manufac- turcslofthe cast for the produce of the west.

Wood- house, was taken from Haliburton to the jail at Lindsay, having been com- mitted on a charge of attempted suicldc. From what we can learn it appears that he has a young wife (his second) and four children, and being unable to pro- vide them with the necessaries of life, he was so wrought upon by the right of their dcstitutiou that be resolved to kill himself. With this intention, about a fortnight ago be procured and swallow- ed au ounce of laudanum; but it was so deficient in strength that it had but lit- tle effect. A few days later be deter- mined to put an end to himself by hang- ing, but before so doing wrote a letter to his wife and another to his clergyman, stating that as his family had consumed their last crust of bread, and as he could not bear to see them starve, he intended to commit suicide; and that he had thought of killing his wife and children first, as he did not see how they would be able to live after he was gone. These letters he dropped into the post. ofiloe, and as they were promptly delivered by the post-master, whosc suspicions were probably aroused, a search was at once instituted for Woodhousc, who when found had in his possession a thin rope with a harness ring at one end of it. He was arrested, and having admitted to the magistrates that. ho had taken the laudanum and that. he had written the two letters and meant to make away with himself, he was sent to Lindsay for safe keeping.

Tun Boss Canonâ€"On Tuesday last. Mr. John Nugcnt, druggist, of this vil- lage, brought home with him from Lindsay a very handsome canoe, made by the well-known builder, Mr. Patrick Doria, who says that he believes it to be the best he ever turned out, and that not even the most bloated aristocrat in the county town can boast of owning a better. Mr. Nugeut’s purchase, which is called the Dolphin, is built of choice cedar and measures 18 feet in length by 35 inches breadth of beam,“ and is furnished with sculls and outriggors. It is painted a lively green with a gold stripe, and cost (stripe included) about 340. Mr. Nugent and Mr. Doris con- fidently expect that it‘will “walk the water like a thing of life,” and no doubt the former, who has had a roomy and substantial boat house erected at the edge of Cameron Lake, will have many an hour's sport and exercise in the Dol- phin, either before business commences or when spells of simultaneous wellness on the part of the community reduce the demand for drugs and medicines to a minimum. Vrsrrons.-â€"0n Wednesday our vil- lage was visited by a party of those peripatetic horse traders and chronic campers out commonly called gipsies by native Canadians, who don't. know what real gipsics are. Some, better posted, thought they were English, some Irish, and some Scotch; but, as they didn't strcw their path .with dropped h's, it is evident they weren’t Coekneys, which is all we care to know. There were three men with their wives (at least we suppose so) and a whole lot of children. 15th, in his church, which is built over a rivulet, there came a flood, which on- tered the building and drowned, it is supposed, fifteen persons. Not a single moment's warning was given, the tor- rent rushing into the building to the depth of over six feet in a few minutes. While the Mass was going on an appal- ling peal of thunder was followed by a downpour of rain comparable only to a water‘spout. In a few minutes the brook was swollen to such an extent that the arch under the chapel was not spacious enough to permit the rapid volume of water to pass through. The flood then formed intoa lake on the upper or moun- tain side of the building, and a quantity of the water passed between the chapel walls and the cliffs, which formed a lake on the seaward side of the building. The doors were fast closed, and no eon- sidcrnblc body of water could enter the building by these means. Suddenly the increasing volume of water burst open the doors, which are about eight feet wide, and agreat wave rolled into the building. In two minutes the house was filled to a heightoftwclvc feet from the floor. Some clung to the floating seats and thus reached the windows. Then by breaking the glass they were able to climb the Sashes ladder fashion until they were out of the reach of the water. The Rev. Father McFadden, the parish priest, remained on the altar until the water was up to his chest. On examination it. appears that a portion of the waterspout must have fallen on the chapel itself, as the roof is reported to have been demolished and many of the congregation maimed by the volume of water which foil.

Terrific Storm in Hamilton. GREAT DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY LIGHTNING. Hamilton, Aug. 28.â€"â€"-liamilton and vicinity were last night visited with one of the most terrific storms for yours. Flushes of lightning lit up the sky in every direction. About eleven o’clock a fire was seen to the south-east. of the city, which proved to be the turns and sheds of George IIyslop, Glunford, with contents, comprising grain, partly threshcd, hay, carriages, sleighs, etc. , Loss, over $2,000. In the cast ol'thc city, about one o'clock, another f‘armor'n barns were also struck, taking fire and being consumed. These wcrc'thosc of Wm. C. Smith, Saltfleet, near Stoney Creek. Loss, including barn, outbuild- ings, and contents, between $3,000 and $4,000. To the north of the city, about two o'clock, another fire was seen, which proved to be the barns of Mr. John Gunby, East Flamboro', near Car- lisle. The burns, with grain therein, which was thrashed, and other contents, were all destroyed. Loss, 81,000. Three other fires were seen, the partic- ulars of which have not yet been re- ccivcd. Numerous other places were struck by the electric current and dam- aged, though not taking fire. O . Haulau an Trickctt. The match to come off in November between llanlnn and Trickctt in cunning intense interest in England. The Lon- don 7'i'nm says: " Now that “colon is reported to have recovered from the recent illness which affected, him there really seems no valid reason why the meeting of the two rcullcrs should not be fixed fora much earlier and more suitable month. If it were fixed for September each man would have plenty of time for a thorough preparation, and the weather would be such as to suit them both and enable the public to view the race. In Nove’iber the chances of fog and rain are very great, and rut tides are late at the end of the month, it is very probable that darkness may inter- fere with the contest.

Mun. .»\ccmnxr.-â€"-On Thursday af- ternoon while Mr. J. Burton was work- ing at tho lath mill in connection with Messrs. Irwin and Boyd's saw mill at. Nassau, by some means a piece of bass- wood, which when removed was found. to measure two and n hqu inches long by one inch thick, was forced into his hand between the index and middle fin- ger. Every effort was made to pull it. out but. without success, so he was driv-- on to Dr. Kincaid's surgery, where the knuckles were forced apart and the piece of wood removed. The doctor says it is one of the worst things of tho- kiud that he ever saw.

Hamilton burst while an employee named John llnrt. was grinding teeth in on iron wheel weighing about forty pounds. One of the pieces struck Ilart on the right side- of the face, knocking him on the floor- in a senseless condition. A messenger was at once sent. on horseback to Dr- Kinmid, who lost no time in coming down to attend to the sufferer. At first, it was thought that the man was killed, but it turned out to be not quite so scâ€" rious as anticipated. The upper jaw wus fractured and the face cut from the mouth to the nose; the frontal bone a- bove tho eyebrow was also fractured. It was necessary to remove a piece of the jaw-bone about two inches long. Dr. Kincaid is of opinion that the wounds are serious but not dungero us, and does not think that he will be disfigured very lllllCllwâ€"RCUICID. Correspondence. To the Editor of the Fender; Full: Gazelle. Smaâ€" In your editorial on crop prospect: in a former issue you had reference to Rus- sian spring wheat. I wish to give you my experience on a small scale. Last spring I sent for a sample, which was very foul; I sent for four bushels, but on account of the great. demand could not be supplied. I picked the sample and sowed it, about two and one-half ounces, picking it when out from mixture of other kinds. I thrcahcd about twenty pounds; the heads averaged five inches, with an average of forty grains ot'lurgc kernels in each. I only found three imperfect in two heads. Itdid not rust nor break down, and will doubtless take the lead of all others, like the Fife. There is quite a quantity sowed in this town-hip this year, nnd with good chance will doubtless give thirty or forty bushels to the ncro. Had I sowed this variety my crop would have been treblcd this season. Yours &c., W. I’OWLES. Fenelon, August26th,1880.
