A petition against the amalgamation louu the new “Midland Railway of Canada" was circulated in this village We See by the parliamentary proceedings that Tuesday last. was specially appointed far the consideration of the amalgama- tion Bill, and a great. many persons-â€" some in favour of and some opposed to the measureâ€"were present. when the railway committee met. We agree with the lion. S. C. Wood that there can be no objection to the amalgamation if the. rights of the municip-ditics can be re- enn-d; but the difficulty is to secure them. Large bonuses have been voted to successive railways for_ the purpose of creating competing lines and keeping down freights. and “ amalgamation" is. thercli-rc. very naturally regarded with distrust and opposed accordingly. TherTreuth alleyCaual. We give below the text ofn letter re- ceived a short time ago by Mr. Hector Cameron from Sir Charles Topper, to whom he applied for information re the Trent Valley Canal: Jan. 12th, 1882. MY DEAR Mu. Csucuox: In reply to your lotâ€" ter of the 4th iost., I beg to say that as soon as I returned from England I de- tailed thc ublest engineer whose services I could command to make a location survey of the Trent Valley Canal, and instructed him to lose no time in Inuk- iug such a survey as would secure the best possible location and enable an ac curate estimate to be formed at the cost ofthc work. On my return recent- ly to Ottawa. I St'ltt for Mr. Ilubidge. the engineer relvrrc-l to. and wu< sorry to find that the difficulties nod arduous character ol'thc \vork were found to be such as to make it impos>iide to com- plete it this scamn. Ho has been in- structed to use all pos>iblc exertion to advance the Work. the grrat importance of which is fully recognised, by myselfl and my colleagues. lit'st:tfi.~'ltl'th1,ttt.t‘ dear sir. that everything connected with this i vportnnt question is being carried out with all possible vigor and with the most ardent desire that the result will justify the construction of a work which is calculated to conducc greatly to the development and progresv of the country. llopitt: soon to have the pleasure 01 t I remain. Yours faithfully. f‘uantrs Terran. Hector Cameron, E-q.. M. 1’., Toronto. We have no reason to doubt that Mr. I'uppcr is doing his best to promote toe undertaking that his coltstituvttb‘ justly cou-i-ler of such vital importance; but the above letter is not as satisfietory as f could b: wished, as it speaks of the "difficulties and arduous character of the survey which will make its comple- tiou this season impossible." L This sa- 1 vours of further delay, and has a bad or those who claim to be well inlormed i that the diflicultics of the route are neither great nor numerous; but these , intcm‘tcd in the undertaking will not; be satisfied until they know the exact truth. and no small degree of opprebri- l tun will fall upon any person who. no matter from I‘ltut motive, may be found to have deceived them. -. l m To Bonanzaâ€"We are requested QM ‘ 'ully's “all, Feucloo Falls. at half, 1 remark surprise: us not a little.

To- ~ Fitzgerald. drawing trustees themselves state. further on in I their letter, and us we said in our arti- cle, no expression of opinion was'requir- cd from the Board with reference to Mr. Graham's language to M iSs Glover; and we do not see how any one cm im- agine we could mean that. the Band would sustain him in the use of lan- guage he admitted was wrong. which he was willing to apologize for. and which he said he used in a moment of irritation. Had we had the least idea that our remark was liable to be mis- construed wc would have added a few words to it, and then there could not posaibly have been any doubt as to our 83(2qu meaning. We would have said : We are glad to know that all the true. tees, except, of course, Mr. Jordan, show a desire to sustain Mr. Graham against Ilia enmity nfh’tnse who wish (0 punish the schoolmaster for the ads of the priuufe riu'zen. At the trial of the Rev. M r. Glow-r. about six months ago, upon charges of untrutlzfulneas, Mr. Graham was a witness against him: but. we have reason to believe. a very unwilling one. The trial ended in the removal of Mr. Glover from the pastor- atc ofthe Methodist church in this vil- lage. Of course he had his supporters and sympathizcrs, who. equally ofcoursc. are not very amicably disposed towards those who were instrumental in his re Inovul ; and we may take it for granted that the members of Mr. Glm’cr’s fumi- ily urc not inclined to be more than or- dinarily courteous towards those who testified against him. Hence it is easy to believe that there may have been a provoking disrespect uud defiance in Miss G.over's bearing if not in her ac- tual language. and that Mr. Graham. knowing the spirit that actuated hcr, wns irritated into an outburst that he alterwurds regretted. The other per- sons who gnve evidence against Mr. Glover can laugh at the enmity of that gentleman's partizum; but Mr. Graham occupies a position from which there is u possibility of ousting him if a sufli- cieutly strong feeling can be roused a- gainst. him. Those who wish to injure him are, however, so few. and their motives so palpable, that there isn't. the ghost ofu chance of their efforts in. that. direction being crowned with success. A Voice From the Backwoods. Mr. John J. McIntyre, of this village, who is wood-ranging in the township of Apslcy. sends us the following fluttering account of the northern parts of this and the adjoining county : “ I have had the opportunity of sec- ing and exploring that. portion of Cunn- du embracing tl‘c counties of Peterboro' and Victoria. My time is principally spent in looking up the pine limits of luinhcrmon, but toy attention has re. ecntly been called to very valuable min- eral deposits in various sections of that portion I have gone over. In the town- ship of Aihtruthcr, north of Apslcy, where Mr. J. B. McWiiliams is mlvo- eating for a onlooiutinn road to Mon- mouth to connect. with the Burlcigh road, I saw valuable deposits of it met: :11 that were similar to that found in the Bruce Mines on Luke Superior. While in some sections there is plenty ore, there is also any quantity of good form- ing lands. The ore seen by me I be- lieve to be copper. If the Gowrnmcnt Would assist Mr. Moll’illiauns, wood ranger. to get the road through, say next season. it. might ustonish them to see what the country would develop. it seems strange to me that the Govern- ment. should spend so much money in regions of Canada that little require it. and leave undeveloped so fine a section of Country as I have mentioned. If the Government would build this road, it would in a short time be the means of having the country filled up with sturdy furtncrs' sons in want of land, and no doubt but It'cnolon would furnish hcr qttnltt. I have been a wood ranger for 20 years. and must. say that it is as fine a section as I have met any where dur- ing my ranging." Village Council I’roosedings. Fetielon Falls. Feb. 13, 1882.

TWO WOMEN AND .TIIKEE CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH AND TWO HEN BAD- LY INJURED. A terrible affair happened in the township of lluntingdon a little b:th 1 o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst. John Morlood. a respectable fw- uu-r, had been to Bellcviile with his wife and :1 man named Pctcr Vunnllno, who was boarding with them, and re- turned at midnight with a quantity of articles they had purchased. Among them was a five-gallon glass dctnij‘ihu. Covered with wicket-work and filled with kerosene, which exploded with a report similar to that. of a revolver scorn uf'ti t' it. was brought. into the house. and im- mediately the oil, which had been ex- panded by the heat. of the warm room. and the gas or vapour generated by the rapid rise in temperature begun pouring throuin the small openings in the wick- er work with a sharp hissing sound sim- ilar to that, made by csuupiug steam 'l'wo ordinary pots were brought. and in a low minutes about. three out, of the live gallons was secured in‘thcm and set aside an the back of the room. which was the full size of the house. eighteen by twenty feet. As the cracks in the floor of the room were very wide. and comparatively open, the greater part of the other two gallons of the oil quickly disappeared. With a view to getting rid ol the last. of it, however. Vanullm lit a much and ignited it. He allowed a small space to burn off. and then ex- tinguished it with his foot. Alter \vhic . he lighted another spot, which was sub- sequently smothered, and these very dangerous operations appear to have been repeated several times. At. length Morlnnd lighted tl piece of Paper from the little fire which Vuualiuu was watch- ing. and with it ignited several spots on the floor in rapid succession. Almost iutnmdiutely after this had been done the flames began to mount higher from the floor, uud waver uud tremble as though they were not eooliucd to the oil on the floor. Miss Douglas seized at pail ol’wuter to throw upon the floor. but Morlund sttuppciflicr, and attempt- ed to beat til-Wu the (lame with a broom. At the first stroke more than half the broom itsel- became wrapped in 11mm, and an instant later it broad, fiery col- umn shot. up to the ceiling and swept swiftly along overhead. Then all was confusion, and the survivors are not clear as to what happened. 011:8 Doug- las opened the door, but for aortic ren- sou closed it auxin without making her escape.

A few moments af. ter the. pools of oil were set on lire the flames were Communicated to three iron tanks containing 105.000 barrels of oil, which is now in flames. The pipe line men from nll sections of the oil. regions have been summoned by wire to the scene of the tire. Superintendents Snow and Medic ', with a large force of men, left Bradford by a special» fast train. They took picks. shovels. cannon, and a olmmical lire extinguisher. Trenches :Itld cmbnukmeuts will be formed to prevent the spread of the burning oil when the overflow occurs. which will be at 2 or 3 it. In. Olcun Crock riins near the scene, and great fears are entertain- ed that. the oil will strike the surface of the stream and destroy a number of railroad bridges and houses uch the banks of the crock. The oil will be drawn off as rapidly as possible by per- l'orutiog the. tanks with cannon bull. The night is as bright as day for sever- ul miles about. the mobs. What the result. will be cannot now be conjectured. Free Trade vs. Protection. w SOME ST;\RTL1.‘iG FIGURES. A Buffalo evening paper, in an arti- cle on the United States census returns. omkcs a comparison between the free trade decade. 1850 to 1801.1. and the protection decade, 1870 to 1880, and says-:â€" “ These figures show that during the ten yams of Iron trade the wealth of the notion increasml 126 per cent. and that during the ten years of protection, with greatly increased ficilities for produc- tion, our wealth only increased 31 per cent. In 1830 the pnpttlzttlml ol the United State< was 23 191.876, and the wealth was 87 135.780.2228. In 1800 the populninn was 31.429 891. and the wealth was 310.150 016 008. TlllSi'th‘ each inhabitant $307 in 1850 and $533 in 1860. These ligurvs show that no dcr free trade the \va-nlth of the country inct'cnScd much faster than the popula- tion, while the figures as given by Mull hull show that for the ten yours 01 :1 protectch tariff. 1870 to 1880, the in- crease of wealth has not kept pace with the population. During the free lt'utlc decade we gained 3220 for ouch inlmbi. toot. and during the protection (ll‘Cldl' we lost. 30 cents for vach inhabitant. The. difference. is not owing to u more rapid increase 01 population during the protection decade. as during the free trade decade. 1850 to 1860, our popu- lation increased 35 per cent., while for the protective decade. 1870 to 1880, the iuorcuso was Only 29:}; per cent." ~.â€"â€"â€"â€"- Expenses of Garfield’s Illness and DEath. The limit fixed by tho Committee to audit thc expenses of the sickness and funeral of the late President. Garfield in which claims and bills could be present- ed expired on the 11th inst. A large number of bills were filed. some of them of a character to excite surprise. None of the attending surgeons filed bills, but mado statements tending to show the extent. of their services. The Com» mittce_will hold a meeting at. once to examine and pass upon there claims. The feeling amongst the members of the committee is against-allowing any exorbitant amounts. and while the our. geons have intimutml privately that they think they should have 320,000 to $50,000, the probability is that. Dr's. Bliss. Agnew and Hamilton, and prob- ably Dr; lloyiiton, will be L-ivcn from 37.000 to 310.000, Dr. Kc) burn 85.000, and Mrs. D. B-lsonond Steward Clump from 83 0110 to 85.000. Gen. Barnes and Surgeon Woodward have given the members of the committee to underâ€" stand that they would prefer to be pro- moted to receiving a. money considera- tion for their services.

A father’s Horror. “'musoa. 0nt., Feb. 13.â€"â€"Aa Henry Walton, of North Colcboster, was dried ing a load of corn fodder along the road in that township, he noticed that one of the wheels ofthe waggon was blocked ' up in somo'wny, and getting down elf~ the load was horrified to find his own little boy, seven years old, tightly wedg- ed between the wheel and the Waggon, and crushed all into a shnpolcea mass. On being taken out. the little fellow breathed a few times and expired. It appears that he had run up behind the' waggon. and attempted to climb upon5 the load. . A Plague of Bees. A village in one of the Middle Stator has recently undergone a most singular experience. Two of the villagers keep some 130 beo hives, and III bad'wcatb-~' er made othcr'lood scarce, the interest-' ing insects invaded the stores and hous. es in quest of sweets. Haifa bushel of them swarmed in cue man's kitchen, of which they remained solo tenants for at week. in that house, on their account, all fruit cunning and preserving had to' be done at night, and for many days all the lumily had to climb out. and in the windows. the bees laying siege to the doors. In addition to this whole orch< urds of fruits and urburs of grapes were devouch by the bees. Dozens of per: srms were. badly stung while passing along the streets. and sun-h a reign of: terror was established that. recourse has» been had to the Courts for prevention of its recurrence. -' Body S etching.

Sawdust iu Cities. â€"- In New York there are about 600 vendors of sawdust, having a capital of 8200.000 in vested. and doing a business amounting to $200 000 annually. Forty years ago the mills were glad to have the sawdust carried away ; 25 years ago it. could be bought for 50 cents a load, but. the price has been increased until now it brings 83 50 :1 load at the mills. It is used at the hotels, eating houses, groceries, and other business houses. It. is wet and spread upon floors in order to make the sweeping cleaner. Plumbers use a great deal about pipes. and build- ers to dendcu-wulla and floors. Soda wutct‘ men and packers of glass and small articles of every kind use it, and dolls and some living creaturca are more or less stuffed with it. Washington Market takes two or three loads a day, and a great deal is spread on the piers, and stables take many loads a day. Yellow pine makes the best'sawdust, an it is the least dusty, and butt a good healthy smell. But any white wood dost will do. They make a great deal of black walnut. sawdust, but it will not. sell, so it is burned. a- . ‘ Brandon is expected to apply for in~ corporation as a city.
