Natur- ally, he expected extra ray for his c'xtra - work, and applied therefor u) the Fenc- ’ lon council, who referred him to the ' council of this village, as it was through their negligence that the second trip . had to be made. Ilis application was .not entertained, partly on account of the absence of the reeve, but chiefly be~ V cause the liability of this municipality i is doubtful. Of course Mr. Fittal will have to be paid, but he muaxt look to those who employed him, and they, in turn, can demand to be “ recouped " by the village if they think they have a good case. Village Council Proceedings. Fenelon Falls, March 13th, 1882. The council met at call of the reeve. Present, Messrs. Fitzgerald, Sandford, Smith and Thompson; absent, Mr. Mc- Artliur, rccve. Mr. Fitzgerald was a pointed chairman, and the minutes of the last meeting Were then read and approved. .

The minutes LocaFEmigration. The tide of emigration from Fcnelon Falls and vicinity reached its height on Monday last, when Messrs. E. R. Ed- wards, John Welch, Thomas Cullon, George W. Martin and James Bentley and family left for “'innipeg, and Mr. James Quinn, wife and mother for Da- kota. Mr. Andrew Torrance was to have gone the same day but he was not quite ready until Tuesday, when he fol- lowed the rest. At different times dur- ing the past three weeks Messrs. James Dickson, N. Ingram, John Brandon, IIcnry McDermid and A. A. McDonald took their departure, and Mr. Samuel Newman would have left are this had he not been detained by a fit of sick- ness. Messrs. Ingram and Brandon, who went together, had a hard time be- fore they reached their destination, Brandon, as their train was delayed by a snow blockade for 42 hours, during which time they had little or nothing to eat, and they were compelled to tramp ‘ the last twelve miles. It'almost makes ‘ one melancholy to miss so many famil- iar faces; but with, perhaps, two or three exceptions, they will probably all be back again in a few days or weeks. All sorts of rumours are rife as to suc- cessful speculations made by some of our villagers since their arrival in the Land of Promise, and as the Winnipeg Free Press of the IOth inst. records a sale by a Mr. John Brandon, of Bran- don, of lots for the sum of $11,000, some, in their eagerness to ascribe the good luck to “ our John " uiled to no- tice that the transaction took place be- fore he arrived there. We are, howev- cr, informed on good authority that. Mr. Brandon has invested a few hundred dollars in property which is likely to: rise rapidly in value. Mr. Thos.

Efforts are being made to detect them. 6 English Law Costs. Mr. Justice Kay, the other day sitting in his Court in London, described as n “ shocking state of things " the swallow- ing up of an estate in costs. The action he referred to was instituted in 1874 for the administration of the estate of a man who died in 1846. There was a sum of £709 in consols, another sum of £130 on deposit, and another sum of£8. The only debt against the estate was a sum of £49. The money in court, the sum of £853, was not sufficient to pay the costs of the proceedings, which have been going on since 187â€"1. His Lordship directed that there should be a very careful taxation of costs, and refused to give liberty to apply in Chambers, but ofdered that any application should be made in Court, as he wished the Court to keep its hands over the money until he saw what the costs were. .-. Colour Prejudice. The Fisk Jubilee Singers walked the streets of Washington nearly all one night recently, being turned away from eighteen hotels. The proprietors of three of these frankly said that they had room but would not receive coloured guests. The others said they were full. One signed a paper s’ayiug that the singers would have been received had the hotel not been full, as they were received last. year. One of the leading hotels in Wash- ington is owned and kept by a coloured man, and it might have been thought; that there they might at least have been taken in and given a “shake down.” Had Garfield been alive they could have gone to the White House, for he once promised to entertain them there in case they were ever refused hotel quarters in the national capital. Meanwhile we would like to ask what the Republican party has been in power twentytwo years for ? The Death Notes of Polygamy. SALT LAKE CITY, March 11.â€"The Legislature adjourned sine (lie last even- ing. In the closing speeches there was a tacit recognition of the fact that the day of polygauions legislation was for ever past. Previous to the passage of the Edmunds Bill the Legislature was disposed to treat lightly all attempts at interference. Since that they have be- come. aware that a crisis in their history is upon them. The younger clement would probably have met it by conces- sion if possible. The older and polyga- nious element had no thought save to stand on what they termed their rights, whatever the consequences. In the me- morial to Congress against legislation, and calling for a State Convention to organize Utah as a State and apply for admission to the Union, the country has their ultimatum. Both sides agree that. the Governor exercised his absolut'e veto power with good judgment. In almost every instance his suggestions were adopted. ‘c- Parcel Post. The uses and abuses of the medium of the post, parcel and otherwise, are many and varied. and each successive advance in the noble art of beating the regulations is ably discussed by the staff here. The other day they received fresh cause for speculation. A suspicious look- ing package arrived at the office and the oliicial into whose hands it came blessed the regulations which gave him the privilege of peeping into each and every parcel which aroused his curiosity. Accordingly the lid was gently raised, only to be dropped suddenly. IIis fellow- cmployees were startled with a yell as he leaped several feet into the air. “ Have I got 'em again ?" he queried, and with trembling limbs and ashcn hue enquired “ whether he looked strange." There was simply a live snake in the parcel. Ultimately the packet was scal- ed up and forwarded to the Dead Let- ter Office at Ottawa, where the officials will have to resurrect all their latent knowledge concerning snakes in order to dispose of this unfortunate specimen. -â€"Globc. The Marquis of Blandford on Mr. Gladstone. The Marquis of Blandford recently concluded a speech by the following cu‘ logium on Mr. Gladstone 2â€"" I cannot turn from these reflections without cen- tering my gaze on England's great Prime Minister, nor can I overlook the gigantic power he has so noblyexcreiscd for the present and future benefit of his country.

A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR EXPOSES ITS ‘ FALLACIES. \VASIIINGTON, D. 0., March 13.â€" Wheu the Senate proceeded to the conâ€" sideration ofthe Tariff Commission Bill, Mr. Slatter, Damoerat, of Oregon, said he thought the Bill would not accomplish the desired end. There was only one thing worse than paging this Bill, and that was non-action. The Commission would be packed in advance with ex- treme protectionism, who would have but one object, the perpetuation of the present unjust tariff laws. He said Frye had exaggerated the position of the Democratic party on the question of the tariff by taking a snppositional case, comparing the condition of the Ameri- can manufacturers and labourers with the condition of pauper labourers of Europe. The solution of the Senator's problem was an ample one, and a com- plete refutation of the charge that the Democratic party was in famur of any policy which would have any such re- sults. He claimed'thnt the tariff oflSlil had proved more satisfactory tliafi any other tariff, and that the country and people were prOspci-ous under it, our treasury full, and large balances in our foreign trade standing to our favour. It was true the country had had a season of unusual prosperity, but how this pios- pcrity had anything to do with the tarâ€" iff laws it was difficult to ascertain. As well might it be claimed that sunlight and rain and all other influences which affect. our agricultural products were nscribable to the tariff. \thu the till- ers of the soil were prosperous then manufacturers flourished, but if agri- cultural interests laugnishcd through a failure of crops or deficient foreign de- mand distress was at once brought. upon manufacturers, mills were run on half time and factories closed. It was a inat- ter of history that England, to maintain its commercial supremacy, struck down all restrictions upon her foreign trade, and if we would attain the sonic suprem- acy we must follow her example. The greatest hindrance to the achievement of that grand result. was protection, and the only conditiorf on which we could win success was the adoption of free trade. The bill was then laid aside. Eating a Boat’s Crew. SHOCKING CASE OI" MASSACRE AND CAN- NIBALISM AT THE FIJI ISLANDS. The Liverpool Post of the 12th inst. has a report of a horrible massacre at the Fiji Islands. It appears 'that the Isabel was on a cruise in search of la- bourers, and one of the islands touched was Santo Island. The Isabel layoff the island, and a boat was sent off to the shore to open negociatious for re- cruitiiig workmen. While the ncgocia- tious were in progress the treacherous islanders made a sudden attack on the boat’s crew. The men were assailed in so sudden a manner Qhai; they were un- able to offer very much resistance. Out of the whole crew but. two got away, and these had narrow escapes, while one had two wounds in his head inflicted by tomahawks. It was evident the attack had been arranged previous to the land ing of the unfortunate men, as all the natives joined in the affray simultane- ously. They were also well armed with muskcts and tomaliawks. At the mo- ment, Captain llawkins of the Isabel could not do anything, but some time afterwards a search party was sent from the schooner, and pushed their way to the village in the bush. The sight which here met their eyes was shocking to bc- hold. The villuge was deserted, the natives leaving behind them a hand, a thigh, portions of a chest, heart and liver, without doubt the remains of the former comrades of the search party. The natives had evidently been surpris- ed while preparing to make their last meal on the unfortunate men of the Is- abel, as all the remains found had been cleaned and scraped, and ready for cook- ing. All the human remains found were collected and burned. There was not the slightest doubt in the minds of the searchers that the remainder of the bed- ies had been eaten by the Santo Island natives, who are known to be Cannibals. â€"_..~___a,._.___.~_ A Great Fire in Winnipeg. $100,000 or I’aorizarv 0N MAIN-ST. DESTROYED. Wixxirso, Manon 13.-â€"-'l'his city was visited at an early hour this morn- ing by a disastrous couflagration, which threatened at one time to destroy the greater portion of the place. The fire originated in Melianary A: Cnrran‘s greâ€" cery on Main-street, a building that was put up in 1871, and was then the only building between l'oriageaveiiuc and the fort.

He takes very little interest in visitors except to sell them photographs and autographs. ‘ He is not taking subscriptions to his book. He has gained in flesh since his trial, and his colour has greatly improved. The warden says he spends no time in religious exorcise, rarely reading the Bible, and he has never been seen pray- ing. At the same time he does not apâ€" pear to be depressed, and if questioned asserts that he was, and is, inspired. , He‘ has shown no exultstion over the severe sentence in Mason's case. He spends the greater part of daylight read- ing the proofs of his new edition of “ Truth." Warden Cracker says his prisoner exhibits no signs of insanity. All the ofiicars at the gaol watch Gui- teau carefully, and none of them see any signs of increasing mental disorder. In conversation he never alludes to his death, but says “ go " instead; “ I snpâ€" pose I've got to go " being a frequent phrase with him. Warden Cracker does not think he will commit suicide, and is sure the prisoner's health and insolenco will remain unimpaired to the last. 0-9â€"‘.-.___ Mistaken Ideas. The Winnipeg Free Press says :â€" Some people down in Ontario seem to have, very vague ideas as to the value of land in this city and country. A noted real estate agent. hero received on Tuesday a letter from an Ontario friend stating that he had placed $80 to his credit in the merchant’s bank hero to invest for him in Winnipeg property. The next- day the dealer in dirt received a telegram from the same party to this effect:â€"-“Don't invest till you hear from me. Heard the bottom fell out. The real estate man doesn’t. exactly understand what was meant by “the bottom fell out," but out of considera- tion for the family of the capitalist ho refrained from investing the 880, and sent word to him that the only lot he could buy for the money was one in a secluded part of the cemetery. This puts us in mind of another incident of a similar nature, where an unsophisti- cated Ontario man wrote to the proprie- tor of a West. Lynne paper, asking him to invest $500 for him in Winnipeg' our- car lots. lie was not particular about the number of lots to be obtained for that money, but. he wanted them in a good locality in the business part of the city. In reply the West Lynne man filled a pill box with Manitoba dirt, and suggested that if the Ontario investor wanted any corner lots in Winnipeg ho had better form a syndicate in order to obtain one. ._-__._..p.._.
