Unhappy Ireland is again in u for mentâ€"tbis time over the imprisonment of Mr. Parnell, who was arrested on the morning of the 13th inst, while on his way to attend a convention at Kildnrc, on two warrants signed by Mr. Forster charging him with inciting the people to intimidate others from paying just rent, and with intimidating: tenants from taking the benefit. of the Land Act. Several other prominent; Leuguers have since been arrested, and it is said that fil'Iy more Warrants have been is- sued. Tremendous excitement ofcourse prevails. and serious riots have occurred in Dublin, Limerick and other towns, the long-suffering police having been booted, annthemutizcd and even stoned in several cases. The point at which patience ceases to be a virtue has at lust been reached, and the Government, feeling convinced that. such is the case, has commenced a series of represnivo measures of which the incarceration in jail of' Parnell and some of his more prominent colleagues is the first. It is satisfactory to know that. the step thus taken is approved of both at home and abroad; and it is evident that it was unuvoidnblo unless the law was to be- come a dead letter in Ireland. No one can dispute the right of the Leaguers to use all their eloquence in order to prevent the passing of the Land Act or to procure its repeal; but the efforts they have made to excite the people to oppose it are perfectly unjustifiable. With it view of preventing possible out- breaks on the part of the excited peas- antry the most. extraordinary precau- ti0ns are being taken, and it is to be hoped will prove sufficient. The ar- mour-plated corvette Penelope was or- dered to proceed to Ireland neurly in week ago. and as large bodies of police and military have been massed in the worst localities and the greatest vlgl' lance is maintained everywhere, it is probable that even the most bot-headed and reckless of Mr. Pnrnell's sympath- isers will think twice before he attempts to get up a demonstration “nein the Government." Thursday’s cablegram brings the news that two severe blows have been struck at the Land League, which has been proclaimed as an “ illeâ€" gal and criminal organization," and Archbishop Oroke has declared that, though a steadfast, uncompromising supporter of the public policy of the League, the absolute repudiation of rent (as advised by Parnell) would meet with no sympathy from him. An Iliipieasnnt Ilâ€"ejport. *Tho disregard of the law that re- quires estrny cattle to be advertised leads to no end of tiuplensnntuess, and a case in point has just. come to our knowledge. About a year ago Mr. James Rogers, of the 4th concession of FeueIon, lost two steers and n heifer coming two years old, and although many days were spent in hunting for; them. “neither hide nor li:lir."as the saying is. was seen until July last, when they returned home in first. rate condition. Of course some person had them on his premisesâ€"either in the nlllblc or barnyardâ€"nil wiuter,’nnd that person, whoever he was, might have i l ; got into serious trouble, hnd Mr. Rog- ers found the animals in his possession. because he. failed to advertise them as the huv directs; for thou-5h the loser of stock Cu“ mlverti~c them or not as he thinks fit, the finder is bound to do so Mr. Rogers, liming recovered his animals! and saved a. winter's feed. is or oughtl to be reasonably well satisfied ; but Mr. Wm. Copp, who lives on the 5th con- cussion is not, for some person has start- ed the story that be (Mr. Copp) bad the cutie shut up all winter and add them to n buyer, from whom they es- caped and went home. Mr. Copp, of' course, is mtunlly very indignant and requests us to state thu the report is utterly false and malicious. that he is willing to pay a fair reward for the dis- covery of the originator of it, sud that ' Mr. Rogers is willing to ruin: oath that i I». never nude any such statement. In . this case, although Mr. Roger- is u sheep n the Exhibitiom , gainer by not advertising his cattle and ' specimen, and will no doubt ruise excel- l Clocks, Kinds, Oopp would very much like to find out everything was favourable at time of rtcou- writing. who spread the defamatory rcpo cerniug him. it would be much more lsatisfactory if he could discover who i really had the cattle. as it. would put . The mar-l ccss. as a large amount of ploughing an cud to the story at once. :l. “ Always advertise estrny stock." which comes in here, is so good a one thnt every owner of an animal of any vnlue ought to bear it in'mind; for while few losers will come 05' as. well as Mr. Rogers did. persons who keep oth- er men's cattle on their premises stand in dunger of suffering much more no- pleasant consequenccs than failing to recrive payment for their feed. The Nipissing District. In our last issue we briefly noticed that Mr. Dickson had returned in health from his survey of the lownshi of Hunter. which is in the Nipissing District instead of the Muskoka. as we were erroneously informed. Since then we have had a. brief talk with Mr. Dickson, and have obtained a few facts relative to the section of country which he has been laying out into farms. and which in a few years will probably be occupied by an industrious and thrivinc population. Hunter is situated east of the township of McCrnney and north of Peck. and is on the water-bed between the M uskoka and I’etewawa rivers. the south being drained by the Muskoku and the north by the l’etevvnwn. The west half of Hunter is mestly good farming laud, covered with hardwood, much of which is very superior black birch and maple, while the timber on the cast half is chiefly pine. The first Settlers will have rnrc sport among the. denizens of" the woods and waters, f'orin Hunter and its vicinity there are num- erous lakes ahoundlng in the finest speckled and salmon trout. and there is an abundance of f'urred and feathered game. Moose, in particular, are very plentiful, and so also are common red deer, and mink and other small animals valuable for their skins are very numer- ous. There are not many beavers, ex- cept: in the lakes, nearly all of them having probably been killed off by the trnppers, who have made it perfect- net- work of' portngcs in the vicinity of the various streams; but on his return Mr. Dickson 511w two partially built beaver dams across Muskokn River, one of them where it was about. a chain (66 feet) wide and the current very rapid ;. and both dams had been commenced after he passed on his way out. Of course there are bears. and one. of' them stole about 300 pounds of pork from the store camp, which left the p‘ftrty l l l l The ploughing bee on the farm lately lensed by Messrs. Dobson d: Newliouse from Mr. Duvid Lamb was a great suc- was done and in an excellent umnner. The prairie horses belonging to Mr.- Wm. Poetic were greetly admired.

The partitions, desks, &c., necessary to convert the store in Seully’s block into a Bank were completed early this week, and we understand that bu-incss will be commenced on Monday next, by which time the books will have arrived. The mammoth safe mentioned in our last issue was broueht up from the mil- way station last Saturday, and quite n number of persons anxiously watched its tranfer to and unloading at the Bank, which was carefully and success- fully performed by the men seut for the purpose by the manufacturers, Messrs. J. &J. Taylor, of Toronto, who had engaged to deliver it on the premises of" the purchasers. One of R. C. Smith's enormously heavy mill waggons was borrowed for the purpose, as it was fenrcd no ordinary one would not. be strong enough. and the safe, which weighs 31- tous, having been placed therein and properly secured, a tenth of Edwards‘s hor~es were employed to haul it. up to Scully's bluck. It. was hard work, as the road was very mud- dy; but. they did it by degrees, with Several stoppages to get breath, but they bud to have help to back the wag- gon up to the sidewalk. The intention was to take the safe in at the back door, but the lneu in charge were a- fraid to attempt it, as the heavy ruins had converted the yard into n sea of‘ mud, and the consequence was that two of the partitions had to be partly torn down. as the safe was too large to go through the doorways. At. last, after several hunrs' labour, it Was got. into the corner designed, and a great many of our villagers hnve been to look at and admire it.

Indeed runny of' the ponies were merely gtllIl-‘tl by the rider leaning over to right or left according to the direc- tion to which he wished the pony to turn ; and the accuracy with which they would guide their horses in this way, even when the animals were at full gallop. was simply wonderful.

(From the sllbilcflil‘y Thin-xi) The affairs of the Ontario bnuk have attracted an unpleamntdemee of often lion during the week. The. new man- ager. Mr. Holland, would naturnlly mnken thorough investigation of the conditiorr‘of' the brink. Any new mnu- nger, taking control when he did. would naturally desire to"gct' to the bottom of the dificulty and suggest (inadequate remedy. The general impression is that Mr. Holland‘s report is ready for the action of the directors; and if' this be so there ought to be undelny in deni- iug with it. There are absolutely no new facts before the public on which an opinion can be formed, beyond this, that the bunk made heavy losses sum.- years ago. which were not no promptly dealt with as they should have been. It is apparently the old atory : directon with the best intentions in the world have not had the courage to lian the losses as soon as they Were ascertained and reduce the stock to its diminished value. Hoping ngniunt hope is a. policy of self-deception. Running saw-mills i~ not banking; and if the Ontario, as credited. has been engaged in that bu-i ll’ll“8. it. did no in violation of chartered rights. Recovery, in that way. seldom comes; more frequently there is an ang» mentntiou of loss. It remains to be seen what complexion the couci-nlmeut that has been prnetised will bear; but in any case concealment is had even an :i matterol' policy. Prompt action i» expected from the dir-‘crnr, who seem to be more or lens par-lyzed by thi- p... sition in Wlll-‘ll they fiirt them: lv-«. If they are incapable of action, they ought to accept the invitation to resign which comes over the wires from Mun- treal. At the mectinz to-diy they should fully face the difficulty. So long on the real facts are withheld there will be nil aorta of rumours a6 int ; some of them started for ntockjubbiug pur- poses. However bad the facts may be. they will pron: lens injurious than an hourly crop of rumour-t. II-ncef'urtlr. inaction on the part of the director» would be culp-b c.

Even consistentv opponents of ooerciou‘ reeivsnixed that it' the law were to be“ maintained the time had cotdb when; the exceptional luvs deemed rut-663‘sth six months ago should be enforced with‘ vigour and decision. An internutionll radical like Guldivin Smith. n‘ working: man democrat like Thomas Rim. db' anti-coercion journal like the.Spe-:lu!orfl join in approving the determined‘nbtiou of the Government. The llisl named" said that the necessity to arrest Pnruell' was absolutelv imperative. In Dublin’ the arrest of Parnell is w'elconrcd as the first indication of the restoration of au- thority and good government. Thn‘ Government. has responded to a'univeh' sal demand. and resolved to pucdowu lawless oppremtion at all costs. The in- dications point to the suppression ofth'u’ Land League. The proclamation u~' gaiust boycotting is regarded as 1 pre- paratory measure. The. inference is" strengthened also by Quinn's nrrost.‘ The suppression of the League is u ne-‘Y cessary corollary to the individual or? rests. without which the hitter will not be effectual. In spite of their deniala' the Lenders \vi-rc struck with counter-‘ nation bv the action of the. Government. The appointment of Dillon to succeed in Parnell was the result of momentary defiance. It was an unpr‘outising oir-' cumstanco, as it meant the accession of tho irreconcilable section to the directo- rate ofthe League, and afforded justifi? cation even for the incitation of further. nrres‘ts. The recentgroivth ofterrorium‘ on the part of the League was due uu- quesrimmbly to the supposed weakness‘ of the Government. It is believed that the present action will stimulate the re- spectable classes to render that support to the law which Mr. Gladstone do! rounded at. Leeds. It. is probable that the Land Lenuue will degenerate grml-’ unlly into a secret conspiracy like ribÂ¥ bonism, and as such would, be relent- lessly suppressed..
