No matter how intrinsically impor- tant a question may be, public interest in itmil' the questiion be not. speedily settledâ€"will assuredly wane by degrees, and familiarity will breed indifference, if not absolute contempt. For this rea- son the Irish difficulty, though for from being disposed of, is much less frequent- ly spoken of than it, was a fcw months ago, though almost every day inlorma- tion concerning it is cabled across the Atlantic to the leading papers on this side of the ocean. Of course the prom- ised Laud Billâ€"the debate on which is now in progressâ€"and the vigorous re- pressive measures of the Government have done a good deal towards dispel- ling the fears of any immediate out- break on the part of the more turbulent of the Irish peasantry; but the country is still in :I my umpiiet state, and the cessation of hostilities between the mal- conteuts and the authorities may be re- sumed at. any moment. Deeds of vio- lence, though not so frequent as they were, still occur at intervals, and a re- cent. despntch from Dublin says that the Fenians arc plotting to blow up several English ironclads by means of dynamite or other explosives concealed among the coal, to preVent which the Government is taking extraordinary precautions. A great number ol'arrcsts under the Cm'rclon Act have been made, and Brennan, the secretary of the Land League. was to have'been ar- rested; but the warrant was cancelled, which is looked upon as an indication that the agrarian organizations will not. be interfered with as long as they con- fine themselves within reasonable limits. and do not openly give vent to treasonable or incendiary utterances or proceed to acts of actual violence. In some parts of Ireland evictions of tenants who will not pay their roots, and sheriff's sales of their effects, are of almost, daily oc- currence; but the “ myrmidons of the law " who assist in these proceedings have a hard time of it. as they are fre- quently stoned in the most determined manner; and even in Dublin itself the soldiers are sometimes attacked in the streets after dark by gangs of roughs. Michael Brennan. in London. and Ket» [10, in Dublin. openly advise the people to strike against the payment. of_any rent, whatever; and itis thought that. they have been commissioned by Pur- oell to test public opinion and ascertain whether the idea of a. general strike is acceptable. The Land Bill, which it is believed will pasx' its second reading by a majority of 110, has produced no little discord in the ranks ofthe Lea~ gucrs. the more rabid of whom oppose any measure which in the slightest. dc- grce recognizes the rights of landlords. and l’arnell's followers in tho flouse have been greatly reduced in cousco «picncu. llc, however, has such conso- lotion as the [WSSL‘SSIOH of plenty of" the siuews of war" can impart, if it be true. as alleged, that on Monday last he received a cablegram stating that. a society of lrishmco in America had placed $1,000,000 to the credit oftltc Land League. John Leary, the head of the l-‘euian organization in Ireland, his been arrested. and great. surprise is ; expressed by the business community of Dublin that a man in his position >litHlltI have illcntilied himself With a movement whiih is now regarded byl even its best friends as a hopeless one. News From the West. Among the items of news from Win- l nlpcg we find one. under the about lieud- i log. stating that " R. L. Topper has re-, turned to the city after an absence ofl four months, in which he has been mnk- I iag a tour of inspection of the Canada I’ucltic telegraph lines to Edmonton." Sand then follow a few remarks on his experiences. which would nor. be of much interest to distant readers. But Mr. Tupperâ€"who is an old Bobcaygcouite,l and well known to many of those who? take the (I.‘I:llff â€"â€"whilo camping out in l the ueighborhwd of the Blackfoot hills, l in March last, wrote tl'o letters to Mr. é Henry Cnlcuu, of l’elcrbomugh, and: that gentleman, who has since paid a,l visit to Winnipeg. published them. with some corroborative remarks of his own, in the Sewing Raine ofthe 17th inst.; and the strongly expressed opinion of, both writers is. that therearc many bet- 9 tcr places than Winnipeg to go to, and i that. Edmonton is one of them. Mr.l l Calcutt says that while at Winnipeg be ’met several persons who were selling] _ their land and going further west, and ‘ that Edmonton seemed to be (be Indir- lte locality for farmers, and the crowing ‘ éof the C. P." IL, on the VAsniunboine, l mess men. Mr. Topper says that, fa- vourable as were thc‘aceouuts he land heard of Edmonton. he is more than ev- l er satisfied with it now he has seen it. and that. “with the two new steam grist lmills, two new steam saw mills. and l the water grist mills, steam threshers. l l Sic” this is a place, you bet." From all accounts the land around Winnipeg is too low, flat and wet. though very pro- ductive, for Mr. Calcutt says that “ it would make an Ontario farmer's eyes ' water to see the black soil turn overjust like would from a flower-pot; " but the neighbourhood of Edmonton appears to be free from the same objections. Mr. Topper says a man cannot form the least idea of the North-west from merely visiting Winnipeg and Manitoba; and. therefore, a farmer who gees there to seek a location will be very unwise if be fit: upon one without looking well about him. in order to make sure that he has got. the best that is to be had. Almost a Tragedy. About 4 o'clock p. m. on the 13th inst, (while last week's Gazelle was be- ing printed) agreat deal of anything but pleasurable excitement was caused on our main street by the performances of what. was at first. alleged to he a mad bull, but which proved to be a steer in a state of slight mental aberration. The animal had been purchased at a farm four or five miles from the village by Mr. Cochrane, butcher. and either hav- ing unpleasant premonitiocs that. it was about to be converted into beef or pos- sessing an unusual development of what phrenologlsts term the “organ of in- habitiveness," it evinced so strong a de- termination not to leave the scenes of calfhood, that. even under the combined influences of Mr. Cochrnne's man, and dog, and rope, and bludgcon, its pro- gress was provokineg slow. The com- bined influences. however, succeeded in getting the rebellious steer into the vil- lage and a little past the school house. whenâ€"apparently whispering to itself “ now or never "â€"lt suddenly paused a few minutes to get its wind and think, and then, with lowered horns and balc- ful glances shooting from its angry eyes, it made a furious dash first. at one and then at another of the children who just at the critical moment were com- ing out. of school. That. they all escap- ed injury was almost a miracle, as a little girl had to be thrown over the Rev. Mr. Glover's garden fence in order to save her, and a little boy had wit enough to dodge behind a telegraph post, which was violently struck two or three times by the horns of the furious steer. Fortunately, or providentially â€"whichever you chooseâ€"the animal did not continue long in pursuit of any particular child, and by degrees all found havens of refuge, and the master of the situation started for home. At the turn of the road, however, he was met. face to face by the reeve and coun- cillor Fitchrald. who had been up to expostulate with Mr. Moore's fence. which had taken a and n to encroach on the queen’s highway. Ignorant. a- like of the state of the steer’s mind and of the unpleasant capers he had just been indulging in, they paid no atten- tion to him until the irate anim llâ€" having taken a quick glance at the pair and determined that the rceve was the more ugly customer (to deal with) of the twoâ€"rushed at, Mr. Fitzgerald with a degree of fury which made it extreme- ly lucky for him that. he was gifted with somewhat; more than ordinary agility. The steerâ€"having seemingly made up his mind to be the cause of a municipal electionâ€"pursued the coun- cillor, and once or twice get near e nough to actually touch him, as the blood and slnver on his clothing proved ; but the reeve gallantly came to his col- league's rescue and pelted the animal with stones about the head until he fi- nally discontinued the chase and re- treated up tho lane by Mr. Moore's house, where he stood breathing deli- ance to all mankind and so evidently determined to let no one within fifty yards of him, that. a rifle was at last sent for and he was shot in a variety of places and finally through the head. There can be no question that. Mr. Fitzgerald was in considerable jeopar- dy, and when we reflect that he is the strongest opponent to the recve's muni- cipal policy, the Roman-like virtue of the latter in rushing to his assistance, instead of standing placidly by and let- ting him be gored, raises him five hun- dred per cent. in our estimation. Condensed News. -â€"Thc population of Port Ilope, acâ€" cording to the census just. taken, is 5,675. â€"Mr. Roderick Campbell, of Wood- villc, lately sent. two pairs of boots of his own make to customers in the Prov- ince of Kecwatin. â€"-Midl;ind must be growing rapidly.

Bige~ low 3.: Trouncc, of Port Perry. â€"â€"Durlng the storm on the morning of the 9th last. the residence of Mr. Mc- Caldcr, in the 5th concession of Marl- posn, was struck by lightning, which passed through the roof, entered the room in which he and his wife were in bed, and, running along the bedstead, paralyzed them both so badly that their recovery is doubtful, though neither was actually struck by the electric fluid. â€"-‘In‘. Francis Lemay, an old soldier in the Canadian Mlllltia who served in 1812 and had for many years received a pension from the Canadian Govern- ment, died in Montreal on the 7th last. at. the age of 90. He was the father of Mr. David Lemay, of Peterbornugh. and Mr. Francois Lemay, of Lindsay, and the grandfhther of Mrs. A. Cadottc and Mrs. R. Turcot, formerly of Fenc- lou Falls. â€"A young man named Storey, who left Millbrook for Dakota some time ago, has written to his friends. He says, among other encouraging things, that he went out. prospecting on horse- back, nnd was forced to roost on the animal all night, for where there didn’t happen to be two feet of water there was sure to be two feet of mud. He pronounces it a beautiful countryâ€"to start frog hot-beds in. â€"~South Harvey is excited over the burgling of Dr. McCamus's lodge, from which several small articles were stolen; and Bobcaygeon has raised a fund to pay for a search for the thie", as it is believed that a clue to his identity has been discovered. It. is held that. the worst rogue ought to have conscientious scruplcs about breaking into places of summer resort, as they must necessarily be left unprotected at times, and no one will build them if thieves are not; hou- ourablc enough to let them alone. 1 Village Council Proceedings.

Monday morning, and the morning train now leaves Fenelon Falls at 8:235 and the evening train at. f) o'- clock. giving persons who go from here to Lindsay about. seven hours in town instead of four, as formerly. The new I time table has not been sent to us with the usual promptness. As soon as it arrives the necessary changes in the ad- ventisement will be made. FISIIINO.â€"Bl§ and maskinonge fish- ing commenced on the 15th inst., but we have not yet. heard of many being caught, and the weather was so unfu- vourable in the early part of the week that but few persons thought it worth while to try. We have been told, how- ever, that several maskinonges were "reared under the old mill on the last day of the close season, and if this be true all who participated in the illegal sport ought to be summoned and fined. biponrzo Houses-Mr. Sadler‘s impoer stallions have arrived in Lind- say, and are billed to travel in South Victoria.

Tun QUEEN‘S Bttu‘nDAY.â€"As will be seen by posters printed at this office. the Queen's birthday (Tuesday next) is to be celebrated in Fenelon Falls with unusual ecluf. The programme embraces the usual athletic sports dur- ing the day, and in the evening a bril- liant display of fireworks, for which an order has already been sent to Professor Hand, of Hamilton, the leading pyro. technlst in the Dominion. A fairly liberal response has been made to the application for subscriptions. which the treasurer, Mr. Robert Rutherford. is now collecting. as it is desirable to have them all in by Saturday night. The steamer Coltocaalc will run a special trip for the accommodation of'thosc who wish to visit the Falls on the 24th; and as the fare is exceedingly low, being only 25 cents, it is hoped that a large num. ber of persons from a distance will avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to witness and join in the cele- bration, which bids fair to be by far the best ever held in this village. House TRAININGâ€"Prof. Wm. A. Brush, “ IIorsc Educator ol'thc World,” was in Fem-loo Falls on Monday and Tuesday last. exhibiting his trained mares Dolly Vnrdcn and Nelly Bay, and teaching as much of his art as could be imparted in a couple of lessons to all who wished to learn ; which many did, the charge being only two dollars for the verbal instructions and a good sized book full of valuable information. The mares, which were put through their performances in Ingram's yard on Monday evening, gave unbounded sat- isfaction to all the numerous spectators, and surprised even those who already believed that; an unusually intelligent horse can, with a proper expenditure of time and trouble, be taught. almost any- thing. After the exhibition the I’m- fcssot‘ gave a lecture in the hall, his principal subject being equine teeth, which he said were a great deal more frequently sources of trouble than most people imagined; and in proof of this assertion he showed a number of dental monstrositics which he had lately ex- tracted. What with his class, which was pretty numerous, and his receipts for professional services, the Pnil'essor's visit to this village must have paid him tolerany well. m The Revised Scriptures. The Rev. Dr. Schaff, of New York, thinks the new edition of the Testa- ment will, in time, entirely replace King Jumes's version. The American com- mittee recommended some minor altera- tions, which were not acceptor] by the English committee, but. they will be is- sued in the form of an appendix to each volume. Dr. Schulf says these n1- terntlons are intended merely to secure greater accuracy, and do not. embrace anything that can be regarded as touch- ing doctrinal points. For instance, the Americans recommended the use of the word “grain” for “corn,” the latter term being generally accepted now as meaning Indian corn, of which there was none raised in Palestine. The English committee, however, adhered to the word “ corn,” and also to the old ways of spelling, which the American committee proposed to alter. These wore the points in dispute. 9 Mr. Gladstone’s Difficulties. New York, May 15.â€"The ll'nrlri's London cable says :â€"â€"The Premier's difiiculties increase daily. The Trans: vaal affair has apparently s'unk deeply into the minds of the people, nudthe present attitudc‘of the Boers, is regard- ed as extremely menacing; to British in- terests in South Africa. The Brad- laugh business has also injured the Premier among what. may be called re ligious people. The junior member for Northampton is not. only an avowed un- believcr, but a blatant atheist and bias: phcmcv, and in his pcripatctic l4'(.‘lllltB he loses an opportunity of joeriag ul matters which Engliin people hold in reverence. In the House, how-ever, he restrained his zeal and made a rather good impression. That he is a man of considerable ability and force ol'charac- ter cannot be questioned. and he has a certain degree of popularity among the working classes. Bradluugh served as private in the army for smne time and has since attained fame or notoriety. He has championed the cause of the common soldier with great earnestness and vigour. Still a vast majority of people of both sides of politics look up- on him as a moral leper, and the church- es blame Mr. Gladstone for not keeping him without the gate of St. Stephen's. Mr. Gladstone is very much worried about Ireland. Intimate friends con- sider the state of his health far from satisfactory. The ship ofstntc is plough- ing along under a full band of steam, the Radicals firing up and running the engine. but the Premier finds it difficult to control them. Five of them ostenta- tioust walked out of the House the other night before the division on his motion .for a national monument to Lord Beacousfield, namely, Sir Charles Dilko, Mr. Bright, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. ancett. and Mr. Lennard Court- ney. It is an unprecedented thing for mats; but, as far as we have heard, the a Premier to be thus publicly deserted Suffolk Punch, Young Hero, is likely j and snubbed by members of his own to be more popular than the coachE Ministry. . ,extraofiliniry dose... ‘ "the Emputb l l Affairs in Russia; ' onenussxox cacsnn mt rm: mnnut. mmrrxro. Lnnd6n.,Nn litâ€"A St. Petersburg correspondent ' pies the uplift of the guard kepf around r nb‘Gatschiun, and Says he goes about. freely in the grounds. The statements by foreign journals regard ing the health of the Emlth are un~ founded. The stories about the armed Cossacks guarding the ante-rooms in the palace nightly are pure inventions. The Cnar's manifesto and the resigna- tion of the liberal Ministers came like a thunderbolt on those in n position to be well informed. The relapse into ab- solutism is lamentable in itself and in its symptoms. A Berlin correspondent says the Cznr's manifesto caused great disappointment in St. Petersburg. Peoâ€" ple begun to resign themselves to a regime of reaction. Apprehensions of further disaster are rife. It is expect- ed the Nihilists will promptly issue a counter proclamation, and the issue he joined. Nothing seems to be known in regard to the process by which the Czar's momentous declaration was gen- crutcd, but it has taken everyone by surprise. On the bourso Russian sc- curitles are sensibly depressed. The financial journals advise holders to sell out. An Irish Inquest. A good hunt after a princess server or an attack upon the police barracks has more. attraction for the farmers justnow than abstract discussion on questions of fair rent and free sale. The Irish ten- ant, notlnvithsttnding all his hardships, is pas‘sionately fond of a good shindy, and an eviction or a sheriffs sale has much more excitement. about it with its binds, banners and proceSsions than a land meeting of the Unions. An luci- dent. occurred in illustration of this fact at. a recent coroner's investigation into the cause of the death of Constable Armstrong, who was killed in a fatal alfray near Ballaghdnre. The people gathered in large crowds, and as they could not. all get into court, they took possession of an adjacent outhousc. and, having secured the services ofu fiddler, they indulged in dancing to their heart's Content.

The trial ofa amok in the Province of I’ultova for the murder ofa brother monk throws a vivid light upon the morals of Russian monasteries, and particularly upon the monastery of Pereslofl'. It was proved in the trial, which resulted in the sentence of the murderer to life-long imprisonment in ,the Siberian mines, that the brother- hood werc in the habit of palmiug off upon the peasants at exorbitant. prices, as relics of various saints, secondhand images which had been bought for a _ trifling sum at the Great Flir. Instead of using proper bread for the comn a ulon they employed the refuse from their own tables, and f'lbi'icated Sacra- mental wine by mixing tea and vinegar.

A Difference in Opinion. A difference of opinion exists among European engineers in regard to .the practicability of establishing asea, as now proposed, in the great Sahara, the chief problem being, it would seem, how to keep it up. It; is argued that, supposing the sea to be created by means of a canal, it will lose an enormous quantity of water by evaporation every day, without the intrmluctiou of no equal volume of fresh water. The wa- ter evaporated being replaced by a sup ply coming through the canal, thy whole body will soon reach the maxi- mum of saturation ; and thus. the crap. oration still continuing. a deposit oft-alt will be formed which, In time, must fill "up‘thc whole space of the interior 1103 ,Lthc salinity of the water being such that no animal life would be possible in it. and the ultimate rc~ult being simply the accumulation of an immense dl'poslt of salt. On the other hand, the projec- tors of the enterprise claim that the presence of this water, and its evaporu tion, mu~t produce copious rains, which will in large tnoasdrc return into the sea. and thus not only accomplish the object referred to, but also convert a sterile waste into a fertile country. ~ The Church 1' England. “ The life or death of the Church of England." the Bishop of Liverpool told the Northern Convocation at York the other day, "isn cri-ia which is not very fur off, and whether they lived or whether they died depended entirely upon what Was done with the Ornaments Rubric!" “A great host," said the Archbishop of York, in closing the de- bate, “ is gathering round us who see in us only a wrangling, jangling net, whom it is hopeless to reason with, and if it lies in their power they will dinesâ€" tablish us.
