The Central Committee met at Pet- erborough on Wednesday, the lst inst. Fifteen or sixteen of the members were present, and they were all very hope- ful as to the success of the measure. A letter was read from Sir Charles Tup- per, informing the Committee that the amount of money ncccsSury fora survey was so considerable as to require to be put into the Parliamentary estimates. A strong resolution was therefore pass- ed, reminding the Government of the promises of some of its prominent mem- bers with regard to this scheme, and asking for such appropriation. A strong determination was expressed to keep the matter before the country. Articles were read from several journals strongly favouring the construction of the canal. A lull report of the meeting will be published in the l’eterborough and To- ronto papers this week. The Irish Troubles. The state of affairs in Ireland Is rap- idly growing worse, and reports of mur- ders or attempted murders are becom- ing of alarming frequency. One of the latest victims was a Mr. Wheeler, who was shot near Cork, and a reward of one thousand pounds has been offered for the discovery of his assassins. Ten times that amount was spent on the ex- pedition to relieve Captain Boycott, whom the people threaten to shoot; but menacing hini tvi'tli"iiistant death Boycott is murdered. The Govern- ment appear to have decided against coercive measures, and a further proro- gation of Parliament is talked of; but extraordinary precautions are being taken to prevent an outbreak in Ireland and to protect the persons and property Of individuals obnoxious to the masses. Au iron hut has been thought necessary for the safety of the police at New Pal- las, and it has been erected in the pres- ence of a force of soldiers sufficient to overawe the disaffected peasantry. From time to time, as circumstances appear- ed to render it necessary, additional I troops _ _ ‘ districts, and it 15 “0W 53".]. ‘u'uzr a bat- talion of Coldstream Guards has been ordered to Ireland, an announcement which has caused a great sensation in both military and political circles. Meanwhile the Land Leaguers are in- creasing in number, nearly a thousand fresh recruits having recently joined them in Kihlysart district alone; and as it is said that many of the agitators now go about with naked swords in their hands. it is evident that a crisis is not, very far off. The decision of the Gov- ernment against coercion has given a great deal of dissatisfaction, as it is feared that it will cuibolden the Leag- ucrs and give rise to further disturban- ces and intimidation; but as the worst districts are flooded with constabulary and military, any attempted demonstra- tion would quickly be suppressed. The trial of Powell and the other leaders will soon commence. but. with small chance of securing a conviction ; and, as I’arnell himself boastineg says, even if they be found guilty and sent to jail the (lm’eriimcut cmuot. imprison a whole people. What the end will be it is hard to predict, but “'0 grehtly fear that a solution of the difficulty cannot he arrived at without a preliminary ef- fusion of a good deal of blood. If the people were less insane in their demands, we should have hopes that the Irish Land [till now in course of preparation, and which will be laid before Parliament at its next meeting, might have the desired effect; but it will probably fall far short of the wishes of those who, now they think they have law and order trampled under foot, will want a settlement more in accordance with their own interests than will be fair to the ba- ted landholders. The anti-rent fever is spreading from mantry to town, and it is already reported that in portions of the West of Ireland a reduction of‘ 25 per ccnt.on the rent of shops and houses Is being demanded. The North West. The following interesting, particulars regarding the soil, climate and products of the North West 'l‘erritory are from , the pen of the Globe's perqutetic corres~ i pendent. who for some time past has been ‘~ takiu' notes " in that part of the Dominion and fordwardiug them to To- ronto for publication : about the site and fertility ut‘tlic North» 3 West that it is scarcely necesqry to i repeat any of it lure. t’rof.

Farther west, the soil is rather lighter. but, in the opinion of many, better ad- apted for general farming purposes. There is a considerable quantity of and, if we take it in the aggro. gate, but comparatively the percentage is not large. And much of what is now waste land will be reclaimed by drain~ , ago before the country is a. generation older. The winter is long and rigorous. It usually begins about the first of Nov- ember and lasts until the end of April. It is steadily cold and crisp, but. clear and bracing. With proper clothing one experiences an inconvenience. Veg- etation is astonishingly rapid. Wheat. oats and vegetables are the safest and most productive crops. The average yield of wheat is thirty bushels per acre, of cats from fifty to seventy. As to vegatables, one can scarcely place any limit as to their size or yield. It must be borne in mind, however, that, owing to lack of drainage, poor farming, and other causes, many people do not. get anything like the above returns. I have only stated what can confidently be counted upon when the land is properly tilled. These are a great many poor farmers in this county. They knew nothing about it before coming here, and they don’t understand it very well yet. Hundreds of immigrants arrive in Win- nipeg and purchase teams who could not put the harness on them ifthey got the . whole North West. to do it, and they are often compelled to hire a teamster to pilot them beyond the suburbs of. the city. It will take such people some little time to learn the art. of farming to advantage.” -:==’ TEN CENT SOCIAL.-â€"-â€"M rs.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONSâ€"AS a rule, intending candidates for municipal hon- ors grow warm as the weather grows cold; but this year we have heard scarcely a word about the elections, al- though they nrc rapidly approaching. We take it. for granted that some, if not all, ofthe present members of the village council intend to seek re-elcc- tion ; but we do not know whether the organization to oust theta, threatened when the butcher by-law was passed, is still intended or not.

METHODIST Coscnar.â€"-The concert in Iugrani's Hall last Monday evening in aid of the Fenclon Falls Methodist Church Fund was reasonably successful. and was as good as the ma- jority of such entertainments.

OBITUARY.â€"It is our melancholy duty this week to announce the death of Mrs. Nicholls. so long and favourably known in this village as Miss Ada Up pcrton. Mrs. Nicholls was always a favourite wherever known, being a-woâ€" man of sterling worth, of genial man- ners, a warm friend, and a sincere Christian. She died at Alliston, in the county of Gray, ou the 25th i:ist., from exhaustion brought on by long continu- ed nursing of several children down with diptheria. She \t’as buried at Lindsay on the 27th inst. She is much and deservedly lamented by a large cir- cle of friends. rm A Sad Case of Destitution.‘ A and case of distress is reported in one of the Ottawa city suburbs. A few weeks ago a man named Jouvent went away in the woods lumbering, and is new beyond the reach of communica- tion. He left a wife and six children behind about a month ago, and now the second oldest boy, about eleven, a daughter of seven, and another of three are all dead from diptherin. The baby, about a year old, is dying, and will probably have followed his brother and sisters by this time; while the eldest, a boy of thirteen and a girl Offive are but slowly recovering. The wretched mother has lived to perform the terrible task of placing her dear ones in their coffins with her own hands, as her neighbours are of course afraid to go near the dreaded house, and were it not for the fearless charity ofa ueighb:iur, their little bodies would probably even yet be unburied. The mother and those yet living are literally starving. .-â€"â€"-â€"â€"6‘ El Dorado in Canada. Unusual activity prevails in the gold regions of Beauee, fifty-five miles from Quebec.

From time to time rumors appears in socalled “Society "journals, alllmtlfdcinrr that H. R. H. the Princess Lonisg 19!; Canada solely because she neither liked the country nor the people. I learn upon excellent authority that flew Royal Highness, while on the journey to Eng- land, several times expressed to a dist- inguished passenger her profoundest regret at. the publication ofsuch rumors. Their publication gave her pain because, first, they were entirely devoid of found- ation, and, secondly, were unjust to the Canadian people, for whom she felt the greatest regard. As for Canada, instead of despising the country, her feelings towards it were dutirely the reverse. IIer juurney to England and Continental Europe was undertaken solely upon the urgent advice of her medical atten- dants, who furthur urged her to remain there during a part of the winter, so as to restore her health from the influences of the nervous shock she experienced during the unfortunate runaway acci- dent last winter. Her Royal Highness will probably return to Canada about the end of February.â€" Globe Ottawa Cor. § Fighting for a Church. A fight for the possession of the Lu- theran Church building at Peters-burg, on the outskirts of Scranton, led to the arrest of eight of the party for forcible entry, and the. most intense excitement prevailed during the trial, one of the at- t« rieys threatening to throw a man out of the window. The cause of the quar- rel is a debt Of about $2,000, for which three members of the congregation are pcrsonallu~ responsible. Some time ago, in order to secure these men against 1055, the congregation gave them judgment, under which they had the property sold at sheritf's sale, they themselves becom- ing the purchasers. As soon as they became owners of the building they sought to bring the congregation to terms for paymentof the debt by fasten- ing the church doors against them. This determination resulted in a riot. The entire congregation assembled at the church door on Saturday armed with axes, hammers, and other weapons, ready to butter down the doors and take possession. One who helped to close the building bad a narrow escape from being struck with a bummer. The church doors were broken open in the row. Damages by the Gale.
