In our issue of the 26th ult. we had something to say of canals in general, and the Trent Valley Canal in particu- lar. In our article of that date we were led to compare the canal with the rail- way for heavy carrying purposes. To. day we would compare canals with each other. In the telegraphic news from the capital published in the Mail of the 26th ult. the following item appears: â€"“ Mr. A. P. Mncdonnld, contractor for the 'I'aycnnnl, is in the city on route for Toronto. He expects to get. through with his contract about a year from next October, having at present 180 men at work. Mr. Macdonald thinks that when the canal is built it will help to greatly increase the trade of Perth.” This canal is Seven miles in length, a purely local cntcrprise, for the building of which, if we are rightly informed, $400,000 have been granted by the Do- minion Government and sanctioned by Parliament. We cannot remember hear- ing ot'any pressure having been brought upon the Government, enforcing this scheme as a general benefit to the counâ€" try. The benefit that the scheme will be to the country docs not appear very clear to Mr. Macdonald, the contractor, but he “ thinks that when the canal is built it will help to greatly increase the trade of Perth." Now it is difficult to see how the increased trade of Perth will ever compensate the Dominion for nearer the ocean, avoiding the very dangerous navigation of Lakes Erie and Huron, where, it is estimated, 81,000,000 annually are lost in ship wrecks. Our Public Works. The canal works here are now pro- _ h plank for her new botâ€" . tom Was taken from the Falls on wag- gons some time ago. Of course she is to be repainted, and will no doubt look quite gay when she arrives at the Frau- cis street wharf. A Monuos AT Lameâ€"Last Sun- day morning, in the Methodist church at Cameron, Rev. J! r. Cake announced, by request, that “ Brother Lake would preach in the evening." At the close of his sermon, which is said to have been a good one, Brother Lake gave no- tice that he would deliver another ser- mon on the following evening, and when the appointed hour arrived a large num- ber of persons assembled to hear him. But the discourse, instead of being what I tity of 2.1. inc greasing favorably ; but the contractors they expected, was a disquisitiou on the have for some time past been greatly beauties of Mormonism; and after being troubled by leaks at the lower end of allowed to speak until he had unmistak- the cut, where the rock is so full of seams and fissures that it was almost impossible to keep the water out. They are now pushing ahead the last plat- form for the gates at the lower entrance, and to realize the difficulties to be over- come and the labour to be performed one has to visit the scene of operations. Three check timbers twelve inches square are rock-bolted in trenches two feet square cut out of the solid bottom, and the sides are then thoroughly pack- ed with Portland cement and concrete, which prevents the possibility of any leakage under the gates. The depth of water at this point when the locks are in use will average about twenty- cight feet on the platform. The upper lock has been delayed on account of the mill race which has been under discus- sion so long, and which we are now pleased to know will soon be an estab- lished fact and will form part and par- cel of the canal. The abutment for the Victoria Railway swing bridge is to be commenced next month, and the water will be lowered in Cameron Lake for a few days to allow the contractors to get in the foundations. There will then re- main only a small amount of excavation at the head of the canal to complete the work, and that can only be done when the gates of the locks are in position 01‘ stop-logs put in. This excavation will of course have to be done under water, and the dredge will be employed to pick up the stuff removed. Every week sev- eral barges arrive from Bobcaygeon with cut stone, of which there is so much al- ready at the Falls that only about one hundred yards more will be required to complete the canal; but the mill race may necessitate a, few months’ extra work at the quarry. School Board..â€" School Board met. Members nll pres- thc expenditure of such a large sum of out. except Mr. Mitchell ; the chairman money. We do not wish it to be un- derstood that. we have a word to say against any canal whatever, if it can be shown to be of general benefit to the country. even if it wcre located on top of' thc Rocky Mountains; for we recog- nize the fact that every man, however sane he may be on other subjects, has some particular craze, and we are be- ginning to think that canals are our specialty. What we complain of is this, that a paltry scheme like the Tay Can- al, the use of which is hardly apparent even to the contractor who is building itâ€"than whom no man in Canada. is het- tcr able, from his common sense and great experience, tojndge of the rela- tivc merits of such enterprisesâ€"is fos- tered whilst the Trent Valley waters, the great natural canal of the Domin- ion, should bc almost neglected, not- withstanding the earnestly and repeat- cdly expressed desire of twelve counties, through the largest and most. influential dcputatious that ever visited Ottawa to press any measure on the attention of the Government. We see also from the news from the capital published in the Mall of the 29th ult. that “ the Welland Canal is to be made fourteen feet throughout.” This project, so for as we know, appears to have been unaskcd for by the country. The necessity of the scheme seems to have become apparent to the Govern- ment in order “ to enable the country to compete with other canals and trans- port scrvice for the grain trade of the West." What “ other canals " has the Welland to compete with for the groin trade of the West? We know of no other but the Erie and the contemplated Mississippi canal. The granting of‘850,- 000,000 for the improvement of the one and the construction of the other, by the State of New York and the Federal Government respectively. must have 0- pened the eyes of our Government to the importance of this scheme. “ The grain trade of the West. " has hitherto employed the Welland to its fullest ca pacity. That trade is increasing and will Increase. and the construction of the Trent Valley Canal would never make any perceptible difference to it. , It is for the carrying trade of our own North-West territory that the Trent Valley Canal is peculiarly adapted, and v would appear to have been intended by nature as its outlet. This canal is some , times ohjcutcd to by those who have not studied the subject, because it is not in- tended to be a ship canal of fourteen feet capacity, and if it were to be such a canal then it would be objected to on i l v "n "'1' “MN Wm“? °r"'°" "Wm" 7"” l account of the cost ofconstructiou.

A: B. are mighty reticent as to their intentions, giving to all our questions answers that are half negative and wholly non committal.

The province of Ontario will. in point of area. be the largest as well as the most influential in the Dominion, with the exception of British Columbia, and also one territory, Keewatin. Ontario's advantages as to climate. fertility of, soil, latitude and neighborhood of weal- ' thy states south are such as to make it certain that her population will be much l ~ more dense in proportion to her area than that of any other province. It is probable, therefore, that she will always be far the most powerful province in the Dominion. The great danger will be that her predominant political power will be fatal to the goodwill which should unite and can only unite the provinces, and, therefom, to the unity of the Dominion. It. will be difiicult for this confederation long to exist. The majority of the provinces are actu- ated by feelings of jealousy or resent- ment. Where one province becomes predominant these feelings are sure to arise. Jealousy of Prussia would split up the German empire if the diflcrent kingdoms were not forced together by outside pressure instead of being ce- mented by good will. In the case of the Dominion the outside influences are all the other way. They are such as to attract the provinces to make other alliances. These influences are at work both in the Maritime provinces and the northwestern provinces, and should any mutually repellaut influences which ex- ist among the provinces be strcuthened, the Dominion will not hold together.â€" .llontreul Witness. Honor to Provincial Rights. When the News on Thursday menâ€" tioned the fact. that it was in contem- plation to tender a reception to Mr. Mowat on his return from England, every friend of provincial rights recog- nized that such a demonstration would be a due and appropriate tribute to the Ontario Premier. The Reformers of the province feel that they have never tendered to Mr. Mwwat the full mens- nrc of recognition called for by his obil- ' ity as a leader, his integrity as an ad- ministrative official, and his tenacity in upholding their cause. The proposition to hold a demonstration in his honour has now taken a tangible shape. It will probably know by the beginning of has been decided to give him a recep- next month. tion on a grand scale in the Queen’s ACCIDEST.â€"-Mr.dohn Cummings, a Park at an early dam in September; farmer who lives near Ball Point, in Fencldn, had his left shoulder dislocated by being thrown from a buckhoard in which he and a neighbour, Mr. John Coppin, were driving home from Fenc- lon Falls on the night of Friday, the 25th ult.‘ The accident, which happen- ed near Hall’s hill, was caused by one of some pieces of board which were ly- ing on the bottom of the buckbourd slip- ping between the slats and sticking into the gr-und, which so alarmed the horse that it sprung forward, and the upper end of the board struck and broke the seat, and thrr-v the two men out.

Mr. Coppin, who was bruised and shaken but not badly hurt, then left for home, and Dr. Wil- son took Mr. Cummings into his buggy and drove him, at his own request, to the house of his stepson, Mr. John Low- den, where he spent the night. Next morning, feeling better able to bear the operation, he went to the surgery, where chloroform was administered and the limb set. FIRE AT Tun PULP Munâ€"A little before noon on Saturday last the con- tinuous blowing of the steam whistle at the pulp mill gave notice that something was wrong, and a few minutes later a crowd of persons were rushing down Francis street, cxclaiming that the mill was on fire. The panic, however, was of very short duration, for by the time a dozen or twenty of the earliest start~ ers or fastest runners reached the spot the whistle had ceased shrieking and the danger was over. The commotion arose from a very simple cause. The iron smoke stock, which has now been in use almost day and night for several months, burnt out, and became so heat- ed as to cause the ignition of the shin- gles on the gable of the engine room, which appears to us to be perilously near to it. Some ten minutes or so af- ter the first fire was extinguished an- other broke outâ€"or, rather, tried to break outâ€"in the the cupola on the liquor house ; but the men on the roof instantly quenched it with a dash or two of water. Several joculur comments were made upon the fact that the exis- tcncc of our lately acquired fire engine appeared to have been forgotten ; and, at any rate, the truth of the saying that “what is cvcrybody's business is no- body's business was exemplified in this instance. as no move that we know of was made towards the engine house. Still, in cxtenuation of this apparent thoughtlessncss or negligence it may be urged that the pulp mill is at one ex- , tremity of the village, that scarcely any ‘ smoke was raised by the fire, and that comparatively few knew what the pro- longed whistling meant until long after the affair was over. A whole steamer load of immigrants from Holland reached Castle Garden one day last week, and the largest a- mount of capital possessed by any one of them was one dollar. An Australian proposes to hitch a mighty charge of dynamite to a balloon, send it high in the air, fire it by a wire, and so bring down rain to order in the dry districts of New South Wales. A saloon keeper in the Diamond has and was in- ‘ - for one of his bar ornaments a snake in l a bottle, and though it. is highly prised l with speeches by leading man of the party, to be followed by a banquet in his honour. This celebration will probably be, without exception, the largest gathering of the kind ever held in this city. The enthusiasm over the triumph which he has been instrumental in gaining is on the increase, and will doubtless reach the outer borders of the province. This will be no more local affair. Arrange- meals will be made to have the whole province represented, and doubtless Mr. Mowat will be surprised at the magni- tude of the celebration. The occasion and the man are both worthy of a great popular ovut-ion.â€" Toronto News. ‘vâ€" Drowning Accident. â€".â€"._ (From the Peterborongh Review.) A sad drowning accident occurred at Nassau Mills on Friday, the victim of which was Mr. F. E. Twigg, a young man in Mr. J. M. Irwin's employ. Exâ€" tensive repairs are being made to the slide, and men were engaged in the work. Mr. Twigg had been out. on the slide and was going:' from it when he said that another man needed assistance. He returned to give the required aid, but he slipped and fell into the water. The unfortunate young man was carried into rapid currents and eddies, but he was a good swimmer and he succeeded in standing erect iu the bottom of the river. Several men who saw the acci- dent wcnt out. in boats to rescue him, butjust as the nearest of the rescuing party was within a yard or two of where he was standing, something apparently struck him under the water and took his feet from under him. He fell again into the current, sunk and was seen no more. It. is thought that in falling he must have struck something and been stunned. Mr, Twigg had only been in Canada three weeks. He was a native of Ire- land and his father is a clergyman in the church of England. Mr. Irwin was acquainted with his father, and the young man came to this country to en- ter hisctnploymcnt. â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"o-o Lepers for Show Purposes. Dr. C. C.

He snuntcrcd carelessly into the saloon, suddenly pulled a pistol, covered the dealer, and, grabbing from the money- druwer as much coin as he could grasp. backed out of the place and made good his escape. Professor Wiggins says that an infu- sion of tnnmtum vulgarc, or common tansy, taken both as a drink and us a clystcr, will effectually prevent the spread of the cholera. He has tried it on different. mycrnbcs, and it- kills them instantaneously. He says its general use will wipe the cholera from Eur‘bpc in twenty-four hours. A New York mnn tried to roast twen- ty-eight families the other night. He set. fire to the high tenement. in which they lived, and most of them would- probably have been burned to death in their sleep had tho fire not been discov- ered in time. If the incendiary had been caught he would have decorated a lump post. Stephen Whitloclt, of Lyons, N. Y., breakfastcd on a quart of peanuts, three quarts of cherries, pits and all, and three glasses of ice water the other day. His experiment might have proved of interest to the public, but unfortunately instead of writing a book describing the advantages of the new diet, he died in great agony a few hours afterwards.

Forest and swamp fires are burning in Northwestern Ohio, and wa~ ter is becoming scarce. The postures are almost dead, and corn is in great danger. Unless ruin comes within a week most serious losses will occur. A Texas newspaper declares that prai- rie dogs out 810,000,000 worth of grass every year in its state, and that unless something is done they will make a worthless desert of the immense grazing region. They already occupy a tract in northern Texas covering 200 by 250 miles, and constantly advance to the eastward. Civilization destroys the wolves, badgers, rattlesnakcs and pan. there, which are their enemies, and honor: the growing danger. Surgeons at the Chicago hospital have under treatment a Mrs. Murphy, suffer- ing from a horrible disease which of- fiicts cattle, and known as “ lumpy jaw." It is in the form of an absence on her jaw. Microscopic examination proves that the abscess contains vegeta- ble parasites identical with those found in the abscesses of cattle. It is sup posed to be caused by eating meat from cattle having the disease. An opt-ration was performed on Tuesday. the first cuso reported in the United HI)IEI)'.NW I.
