Lindsey, Feb. 16th, 1381. 50-t.f. ills fcnclm falls ‘Ifimcttt Saturday, October lst. 1881â€". Does the bloke Act EppEy to Wo- men? In a short article last week we inci- dentully remarked on the prevalence of crime in Canada, and ive might have specially mentioned the crime of vin- leuce towards women, which is so :tlurm- ingly on the increase that scarcely a week passes without one nr more eases being, recorded. The 1t|>t,.'lnd cue ol' the most diabolical we have ever heard of, was perpetrated on Monday night in Montreal, where a respectable SGI‘VuIlt girl was mind on her “(If from the Ex- hibition grounds by half a dozen rougns, who forced her into a cab, where they stifled hcr cries and subjected her to the most. brutal indignities. alter which they actually Sold her for .. few glas~- es of whisky to a pm‘lf‘of friends. who abused her until, when liberated, she was moredcud than nlivc. About thir- ty men are said to have been implicated ill the outrage, and too were identified next morning by the girl and arrested. Hanging is too mild a punishment for such villains. who ought. to be pitilcssly flogged to death with the cat-o-niue- tails. It unfortunately happens. how- ever, that. crimes of this nature are gen- erally committed at night or under such circumstances as render it. difficult to discover and convict the perpetrators. it great many of whom consequently cs.- cape “ unwhipt ofjusticc." This being the case, it would only be reasonable to permit. all women who have occ:lsion to traverse the streets of cities after dark, or lonely roads at any time, to carry the means of defending themselves in cases of necessity ; und we therefore ask the question, Does the Blake Act apply to women? \Vc suppose that it does, but, if so, it ought. not to; for even men are permitted to carry deadly weapons when there are special circumstances to justify it, and such special circumstan- ces always exist in the case of u woman who bus to go where no help is at. hand if she be assailed. The danger of their abusing the privilege of carrying revol- vcrs or stilcltocs would be very slight indeed, and if two or three of the ruf lions against. whom protvcliou is needed were shot down or stabbed by their ill- tended victims. such crimes us the one just perpetrated in Montreal would soon be of rnre occurrcnclr. The very fact of a woman having zt weapon (which she should know how to use) in her pocket or at her side would remind her ofthc necessity of wutchluluess when in lonely loc.llitics or near suspicious looking characters. and she would be in very little danger as long as she was sufficiently upon the alert to prevent any person from suddenly seizing and overpowering her. (ii-angers and Credit. A monthly paper call:d the Grange Bulletin has burl) started in Owen I Sound. and the first number is before us. The printer-111‘ gives a number of ' reasons why such :t paper is llt‘cl'ssnr)‘ and should b.- .~u,p.-rt~d by the Gl'dllj; ers, and then procc: d~ to inform them that, so for from desiring to make any profit by its publication. " the price Iix- ed upon us the >ubscriplion fee is less than the tlctull c-l~t ol the piper on which it is printed." This deliberate lib may be “tall-overt by such persons as do not know better. owl muv have been told by the printers of th - Ilrlllrti'u to the proprietors; but us the sub-orig» cents to single indiuilunls~ and as the twelve shot-Is of [urn-r per nnnum will not cost at the outside more than about eight cents. a Very nice thing can he made out ofa circulation of even 5,000. when the amount received for adver- tisements is added to t9 or paid by sub; scribe”. flown-er. if the Grangcrs choose to pay a great deal more than ordinnry newspaper rates for their spe- cial organ it is none of our business; and if the untruth concerning the mat of white paper is the only one they are vkcd to believe duriig the your they will get of! a great deal cooler than we expect. In this. the tint number of the [In]- lrtr'u, is no nniclc bearing the signifi~ cant title " Cash to. Credit." from which we learn that the Grange. Whole- sic Supply Company have. " frequently been l~krvl b_v memo-m oi the ord-r to "invoice their erwiit.” nlhf w'ich 3" 3p- . L t In * rile grind, l l . .l .. l. u n u :AJ ~ no.3}... her» to the propriety of urging the members of their Grange to be prompt in their payments." and we are further- more told that “in almost every in- stance where subordinate Ganges have purchased other than for cash, it hos been the menus of destroying them." How many it has destroyed we ore not told, but we have no doubt at all that the number is quite large and will be constantly added to as time goes on. The credit system, which, next to whis- ky. is the " curse of Canada." hos de- stroyed thousands of honest, well mean- ing store keepers who would willingly have sold goods to the farmers as cheap forensh as they can obtain them through the Grange; and nothing will please the enemies of that organization better than to learn that. it is beginning to do business on the credit system, for that is equivalent to saying thntits downfall is certain. The Bulletin concludes the article above quoted with these words: “ It must be apparent to every reflect- ing mind that acredit business is at- tended with a much greater cost than a cash one, and that. all expenses in con- nection with any mercantile transaction must be paid by the purchaser ofthe goods; 50 that if our people expect to rocure their requirements at the least possible cost, they must not only make their purchases on a cash basis but also must be prompt in their payments." That is enctly what. Canadian rural more keepers were begging and praying their customers to believe and not upon when granges were first talked about ; but noâ€" they would insist upon it that the merchants were making extortionatc rolits out ofthc “ poor farmers," and so they joined the brotherhood of self- deluders and thought they were in a fair way to live on next to nothing. By paying cash for all the goods they con- sumed they got them much cheaper than formerly, though there were sever- al drawbacks of which we have heard from time to time; but now the old un- fair determination to buy on credit at cash rules seems to be asserting itself even among the Grangcrs, some of whom. the Bulletin tells us, “purchase goods and do not pay for then) prompt- ly, absenting themselves from future tin-clings," and it. regets to say that “such is the case in many instances when the parties are not only able to pay promptly. but Ill‘e at the some time loaning money at high rates of interest."

RUNAWAYâ€"Last Saturday evening, while Mr. Joseph Pogue’s Waggon and horses were standing at Smith St lfcll’s shingle mill, the engineer suddenly blew the whistle, at. which the team were so frightened that they instantly ran away. Crossing the vacant space in front of the mill they turned to the right. up the “ sawdust roud " between Mr. Joseph McArthur’s two pasture fields. and were going at a lively gait when they come to the piece of cordu- roy, over which neither man nor horse eon travel at any considerable speed I Here they had the choice' of either breaking their legs or slowing up, and us they chose the latter alternative and gradually gut. down‘to :1 slow trot they were overtnkcu and stopped just us they reached smmth ground.

LOUIS, Mi., Sept. 24.â€"â€"Addition- a1 particulars are learned regarding tho train robbery on the Iron Mountain and Southern Railway or. the night. of the 22nd. The three robbers got on the train at Hope, obtaining tickets for Emmet,n station eight miles distant. When half way between the two places. the three presented revolvers at. the conductor. made him give up $15 in silver, and march from car to car with them, while they deliberately robbed the passengers, returning a few dull:th to each. J S. Atkinson, a cotton dcnl~ er. lost $2.000. Another man from whom they took 3300 had $20 returned to him. One of'thc train men handed over $50, throwing 3400 under the seat and thereby saving it. The passengers in the sleeping car were not robbed, the robbers walking through the car with- out waking anybody. On reaching the express car, the conductor begged the cxpressmun not to fire at the bandits, who bud threatened to shoot the con- ductor if any one stirred. The cxprc~s man was forced to open the iron box containing the money in transit. and leave the Fohbers to help themselves. They took 316.000, but threw nwuy 11 815.000 parcel, thinking it worthless. When through with the safe they askttd the conductor to show them a good pluce to get off. which being done they climbed the embankment. and told the conductor to get off as quick as he could. Stanton, the engineer. who had been standing on the ground watching the robbery. started to get bunk ou the engine, but. not moving fast enough the three tired it volley after him, but. he. was not injured. The whole affair, which occurred about ten o‘clock at night, occupied wont fifteen lninutvs. The amount stolen from lllc‘pnnscngcrs was not very large. Thc'priaoners it is supposed hull horses near where the robbery occurred. The whole three men were young, and two of them benrdlcss. The ull’nil‘ is one of the most cxtmordilmry of its kind that has occurred on or western rnilwuy. The conductor is blamed for cowardice. The reason the express robbery was so eu~i ly made was that owing to the agent at one cndol' the line being ill. the ex- prcssmnn could not use the Usual safe. which has n potent lock. the combina- tion on which is known only to the n- 't'Cnts at either end. The money was therefore put in the iron- wuy l'rc ht 12 box. of which the cxprcssmnn had the key. The railway company offer 85.000 each for the arrest and conviction of the robbers. while the Governor of the State tfful‘s $500 nl~o for each, making 316,500 in all. Parties are scouring the neighbourhood-of Hope for the hm- dits. The ~lolen express packages were one of $15,080 and the other of $470. ~.___.-o No Chance for Guitenu. \VASIIINGTON.
