Sept’r 11th, 1880. l l The Irish Situation. l, , The presentcondition of affairs in Ire- . land forms the text of lengthy articles , in nearly all the English journals. It §is barely possible that Fenian agents may have succeeded in obtaining minor lpositions of trust: in different Govern- ment establishments ; but, owing to the vigilance that. is being exercised, it is very certain that. they have not been able to worm themselves into places where there efforts, even if successful. could be of the slightest consequence. The opposition to England in Ireland is ofan entirely different character from that. of open rebellion. The Times, in l an article on the subject, says: “What we shall look for from Ireland during joummcnt, the coming autumn and winter will be the news of land meetipgs in abundance; of angry, seditious speeches, and of in- dignant popular votes. lBeyond this we are inclined to think the disturbance will not proceed. The real danger is not. from an organization on which the law can lay its hand and which the law will be strong enough to crush. The dis- content, ifit. takes form at. all, will show itself in a safer fashion than this. It is the occurrence of outrages upon in- , dividuals and the general disposition to shield offenders that. Mr. Foster pro- fesses chiefly to dread, and against which he thinks it. needful to make prov- ision after a somewhat unusual fashion. How far the presence ofa thousand well armed and well disciplined troops will act as a safeguard to individuals we will not venture to say. Agents may perhaps be shot at from behind hedges, and houses in .out-olithe-way places burned or wrecked almost as freely as before. But. one thing is absolutely certain. There will be no popular ris- ing where there are troops in readiness to put it down. The Peace Preservation act may not. be in force, but the Irish- man's sense of the duty of self preser- vation will give as good security as we need ask for, against open rebellion at all I events." l . I Sugar Cane. Some months ago the Rev. Mr. Lo- gan, of this village, procured a small package of sugar cane seeds, part of which he divided among his friends to experiment with, keeping the rcmain~ dcr himself for the same purpose. The few we got and planted in our little garâ€" den did not do very well, perhaps be- came the soil or situation was not suit- able; for, though all or nearly all came . up, the tallest of the canes have only reached a height of about five feet, and not more than two or three have given 3 any signs of bearing seed. Mr. Logan, 2 from some reason, has had better suc- ' cess, and a few days ago he brought us a small bundle of canes which measured vcr eight feet, and which bore at the , top tufts or plumes of fibres. like those , of broom corn. with clusters of reddish . coloured seed growing thereon; in fact the whole plant. until it begins to head out, so olo~cly resembles ordinary corn '. that without close inspection no differ- ? once is noticed, and a cost, if treated to a few stalks. launches them with an air of intense enjoyment which plainly says that she thinks they are are of'a pecu- oue of the canes and tasted it, and even that simple test, proved it. to contain it very appreciable amount of sugar. It} , is believed that this plant. can be grown ' and brought to perfection in sufficient . quantities to make the extraction of its juice and its conversion into sugar u paying industry. , l The Fenelon Falls Bridge. On Friday of last week Dr. Norris,l of tlmemec. Warden of this countv,l t l of the proposed new flooring. which was promptly done. and the work will no doubt shortly be performed. It is pro- pouzd, with a view to economy, to use the present bridge as long as repairs of no great value will keep it firm enough to bear the trafic Over it. and then to pull it down and build an iron one in its place. Gooderham News. (From our correspondent.) Since you last heard from me sundry matters concerning railways and other affairs have been gradually moving along as usual. A visit paid us last week by the proprietor of the Cambrian Iron Works, Pennsylvania, decided Messrs. Pusey and Co. to at once begin sinking a. shaft in their large iron mountain mine here, to ascertain the quality of the lower portion of the iron; also, I hear for a fact that the railway will be built to Devil's Creek this fall. As to our township and others through to Dnngaunon, it is the intention of the Company now forming to build the rail- way to ask a bonus from each township, and, as the road would naturally be a colonization road, they would also ask Government aid. Mr. Pusey informs me that. it, is intended to have a prelim- iuary survey at. an early date, to enable the Company to form an idea of the cost of the road to the end of Glamor- gnn township first. There have been runny, hours of late spent by the settlers here discussing the bonus question, and, as far as I can hear, nine out: of every ten are willing to give some aid; but our abilities are small for such a work. These facts, however, are steruly staring us in the face, viz: We are yearly hav- ing more spare produce to dispose of; we possess no teams to take it to Hali- burton for sale or shipment by the Vic- toria. Railway; our lumbering is about done, but we possess lots of hard wood and cedar; our taxes are due in Octo- ber; our present hopes of disposing of our surplus look exceedingly dim, as this winter will finish the small odd lots of lumber still remaining. It therefore behooves us all to cast: a look forward to our future prospects of advancement; and if our heads are any way level we must decidedly give our assistance to bring to our doors the only possible means whereby that advancement can be brought about.

The cattle were to go to Montreal, and Mr. Aitken said they were the finest carload that ever left. Fenelon Falls. Porsox IVY Assamâ€"On Sunday last, in the Fenelon Falls cemetery, a. young man named Frank Ball uncou‘ sciously came in contact with poison ivy, which produced the usual unpleas- ant effects, and on Tuesday he was nearly blind, and bad to go about. with his face wrapped up. The ivy. as we before had occasion to remark, is very abundant in and around this village; but it is quite harmless to many per- sons, who can even handle it. with im- punity, while others say that they can- not go near it; without being affected. Fortunately, however, the “poison” does not. produce very serious results, and the sufferers soon recover. GOOD LUCK.â€" On Tuesday morning Mr. John Nugent went out on Cameron Lake in his new canoe with the gold stripe,â€"noticcd in last week’s Gazelle. -â€"aud took with him Mr. John Austin and two trolling lines. Mr. Nugeut rowed, while Mr. Austin fished, and though only away a short time they brought: back with them a couple of fine maskinongcs, one weighing nearly 10 lbs. and the other 121; lbs. After this, let: all who go fishing try the effect. of a gold stripe on their canoes, and brass baits, for that was the kind Mr. Austin used. Gold and brass are the things to insure success in this world. Ruinâ€"The long continued dry wea- ther, which had lasted so many weeks that it. was beginning to be called a drought, came to an end on the evening of the 2nd inst, when sufficient rain fell to put. new life into the parched up veg- etation, replenish the exhausted creeks and wells and afford plenty of soft wa- ter for washing purposes. It was badly needed; indeed. we heard the remark a day or two before the shower. that the root crop would be ruined if the dry spell continued much longer, but it is to be hoped that the rain came before much injury was done. The splendid harvest weather, over which the farmers were in ecstacies, lasted a little longer than was desirable, but the recent picn- tiful irrigation which everything get. made it. all right again. BIG Por.t'ror.s.â€"â€"On Wednesday morning Mr. David Logan, of lot No. 19in the 20th concession of Verulam, brought into Fenelon Falls for sale some potatoes of such mammoth dimensions that between forty and fifty of them made a bushel. *Mr. James Power, who got some of them, brought us one as a specimen, and when placed in the. scale it proved to weigh unless than 213; oz. Some who saw it argued that it. was a. double potato, because a little one, about. the size of an egg, grew out of its side; but, if the small one-â€" which made a. convenient handle to lift the other byâ€"had been cut off, the large one would still have weighed at least. a. pound. Mr. Power said there were several bigger ones in the sack. and that he brought us the one noticed on account of its peculiar conformation. Mr. Logan ought to stand a fair chance to take first prize for “ tubers ” at the coming fall show. KICKED BY A- Housesâ€"0n Sunday evening last. a boy about. 10 years old, son of Mr. John Fitzpatrick, of this village, went, to catch a. horse which had been turned out to graze on the common, with an ordinary driving bri- die, with blinkcrs. on its head. Ap- proaching from behind, without speak- ing, he startled the animal, which kick- ed just as he got within reach and struck him over the left eye, cutting the flesh down to the bone and inflicting a wound fully three inches in length, as it. extended from the middle of the fore- head to the temple. Fortunately the horse had no shoes on its hind feet, for ‘Dr. Wilson, who was sent for, thinks that if it had been shod the boy's skull would inevitably have been frac- tured. The doctor drew the lips of the wound together and put in a few stitch- es, and nothing worse than a scar is likely to result from the accident. Excuasrmis â€"This is the season of the year at which religious denomina- tions of all kinds are prepared on the slightest provocation, but, with the best intentions, to get up excursions to and from everywhere, and on Saturday our village was flooded by Methodist ex- cursionists from Lindsay, and on Tues- day by Catholics from the same place. Fenelon Falls, in turn, has sent out l troops of pleasure seekers to invade oth- er localities. and she intends to send out more as long as the weather is fav~ onruble. There are two excursions from this village yet to come off, one by the Knights of the Maccabees to Oak Orchurd and Indian Village and the other by the Presbyterian to Toronto. The first is advertised for the 10th inst, l and will be over before the Gazelle will ‘ reach its readgrs, but the other does not take place no ‘, Tuesday next, and all i who wish to the great.

S.â€"-A terrible explos- lion occurred at 2 o'clock this momin: at Seaham pit. Durham county, on the North Sea. about five miles south of Sundellend. Two hundred and fifty men were in the pit. and from that time up to 11 o'clock all efforts to reach them have been unsucceszul. Communication has, however, since been opened with a group of eighteen men, who are safe. The greatest excitement prevails in the neighbourhood. The wives and famil~ ies of the imprisoned or slaughtered miners surround the mouth of the pit with loud‘cries and lumentations. The etghteen men with whom communi- cation has been opened don‘t. know how many have been killed. but. it is feared they are the only survivors of the cat- astrophe. The superintendent. of the colllery and numerous assistants are put- ting forth every effort to ventilate the pit. sufficiently to allow a thorough ex-_ ploration to be made of the more remote' parts of the workings, where it is sup- posed the majority of the men were when the explosion took place. The immediate cause of the ignition of the fire damp cannot be more than surmised as the rules of the mine in respect. to the use of lamps were as strict as poss- iblc, and it was supposed to be as safe. as any in the kingdom. LONDON, Sept. 9, 4 u.m.â€"â€"-A despatch just received front Seaham collicry says. The rescued new number 66. but it is now feared there were 230 men in the pit at the time of the explosion. Two corpses were brought to the surface at midnight, one of which was burned to a cinder. Both victims leave large fum- ilics. o ADisastrous Gunpowder Bxpiosion- IIILISBUBG. Sept.7.-â€"â€"The store of Wm. flow. situated at the southern cx- tremity of this village, was the scene of a terrific gunpowder explosion at. about ten o'clock this forcnoon. It seems that yesterday evening Mr. Fdward flow, son of the proprietor, had been getting pow- der from a keg usually kept under the counter, probably leaving asmall train of powder from where it; had previously stood. As the matches were kept on the ledge near the place, some of them may -- .. m. slaw.- ,...... in a. few seconds acres of trees were wrapped in dam from the mots to the topmost bunches, while the thick grey smoke that rolled along the cold, half- moist bottoms, s'nd mingled with the steam, generated great and sudden heat and took an almost milky hue. Through this thick. greyish medium the flames of the burning trees shone only with a smothered light like the red flashes in an opal; but out above the tree tops rolled along a great billow of uneloudcd flame. tossing high above it its sable crest of pitchy smoke. When I witnessed the marvellous speed with which this great confiagration went rushing through the forest, I fully realized how ensily'any unfortunate wanderer might be overtaken by it and swallowed up without even the smallest chance of escapc.â€"Globc (OF respondrncc. Inhuman Conduct. The hea rtlessuem of some of the French Canadian villagers of Quebec Province is almost incredible. Every few weeks some poor, dccrepid old creature is brought or sent into Montreal and ab andooed on the streets. Yesterday afternoon a poor old woman named Ln- belle, 80 years old, was carried into the Central Station and deposited in a chair, while the man who led her in depart- ed quickly. She wus found to be very ill, and was removed to the general hos- pital in o semi-unconscious condition, after having explained to the police. that her progeny were tired of her and wan- ted to be rid of her. 0. A Case in Point. Down east they tell a story which fairly illustrates the present position of Canada. A. depressed looking man, carrying a large fence rail over his shoulder. was asked why he burdened himself with such a- load’. “ Well," said he, “ about two' miles back I felt very tired, and picked up the biggest. rail I could find so as to rest myself." “Rest yourself!" yelled the other. “ how can you rest yourselfthnt way '1‘." “ Why," said the rail-bearer. “just think how light I'll feel when I throw it off! " In the. same way Canada picked up the“ N. P." to make thejourncy easier, and just think how light she‘ll feel when 'rst to of t e enemy disurmed him and dragged hlm~ down by main three, checking those who who wished to kill him by dudes-log him to be under the protection of their chief. The chief in question proved to be ldcpticnl with the rescured pilgrim-«l i9 guise assumed to aid his designs against the Englishâ€"and the oflicer, having been hospitany entertained, was dismisv sad without ransom. “-0 Queen Victoria is the only person living who officially participated in her coronation forty-two yours ago: Almost pure Nigger: of silver. weigh ing from 90 to 150 lbs, and worth from 35m) to since, are being taken out of the new find at Silver Islet.

In passing along behind the cmmter Mr. Edward IIow probably stepped on the matches, which igniting set fire to the train of powder, and this communicating with the keg would cause the explosion.

A Desperate Encounter. MONTREAL, Sept. 3.â€"Dcputy head constable Contnnt had a desperate en- counter here with a man named Murphy, a notorious dcsperado whom he was at- tempting to arrest, and who was assist- ed by his father. The officer-saw his rn-tn enter 3. house and followed him Murphy rushed upstairs, Contnnt. at his heels, when, seeing that he was pursued, the formerjumped through an open win- dow in the second storey, nearly twenty feet from the ground. The policeman did not hesitate, but: took the leap also, and in a moment. caught his man, when a‘ fearful struggle ensued. M urphy. sr., now appeared, and. armed with an axe, rushed at. the ofiieer, whose position be- tween the two desperate men was far from envitable. Dodging a blow aimed at his head, Contant struck the elder of his assailants with his baton, knocking him horn (In combat. t_hen grasped the axe, when the offiiecr struck him a blow which precipitated him into a cellar several feet down. Con- tant then heat. it retreat, but was soon back again with a e of police. By this time the Murphyshad taken refuge in a house, which they barricaded, but the officers stormed it. and arrested them. , One of the policemen was badly wound- ed, when making the arrest, by the} younger prisoner, who wielded the axe l with terrific force. .-.__._..

One of the survivors says: “ It was about six o'clock when the ship went down, breaking in the middle. Thousands of pieces of wreckage were clashing together in the water live min- utes after the ship went to pieces. Men, women and children, horses, cuts and rats, were mixed together, and over lllls mass the waves were surging fifty feet high. in peaks like sugar loaves; when we went up on one side it was not to go down on the other side, but. to be turned over at the top and sent rolling throuzh the air to an opposite one. llack and forth this lasted two or three hours. af- ter which the waves assumed a mort- natural character and came in swelling ridges." .__.__.-... A French-Canadian’s Death. About seven days ago Noel Coyette, a well‘known tenmster on the Cariboo Waggon-road, loaded his waggons at Oppenhimar Bros.’ store with merch t nd‘ ice for the upper county. When eigh- teen miles out, and while ascending a hill near Rombrot's he was pushed over the side ofu precipice by a mule which pressed closely upon him from behind, The unfortunate man fell 2.000 lect. His body was seen by the Indians who accompanied him to strike the rocks be- low, whence it. bounded into the river and was swept away by the rcmoracless current, which at: this point. sweeps on its way towards the sea at a rate of lif teen or twenty miles an hour. The precipice over which Goyette fell is well known to travmlers along the waggon road. Its sides are perpendicular; a mountain gout. could not gain o footing Goyctte'x blood is plainly. m ark- which. after it bounded into the river, was not. seen. The deceased was a French-Canadian and had been a long, time on the road. J l __m....__~..._ ..
