Mr. Campbell did not hear; of Mr. Smith’s presence in the village in time to see him. but he took the train to Lindsay and met him there, and afterwards communicated with the County attorney and the police. It. has since been ascertained that Thomas and Robert Smith, after getting the money. went towards Lindsay as far as. the res- idence of Mr. Hall, whom they hired to drive them to Lindsay, where they put up at the Duly House, and probably I left by the early train on Wednesday. as they mysteriously disappeared. It is thought that some pcr:0n yet. uu knowu drew up the note, as the writing was much better than that of either of the Smiths.

Thousands upon thousands of people, from all parts of the continent are going , to the Montreal Carnival at the end of January. We hear the .Ilontreul Hui/y} Slur is bringing out a magnificent car nival number, Something that will eclipse in artistic merit and absorbing interest evcrv illustrated paper licrotn- fore issued in this country. It will have the attack on the ice-palace and nificent pomp and brilliancy; the to beganning fete in its true natural beau- ty ; the Iccsflondora after the Egyptian models, inaugurated with electric and pyrotechnic illuiniuatirms ; the mam- moth ice-lion (British); the great. sleigh drive, embracing thousands of suturbr cquipagcs, and probably the grandest The Hon.

A good deal of work was done on it the following year, 1836. On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1837 the work was stopped, and the uncxpen- tled part of the grant. employed in the suppression of that unfortunate upris- ing. Mr. Merritt. became so muclt en- _ >_ a r H , gagcd with the general dcvclopcmcnt of A. w. J. onuusst. .\I. u, l the country and construction ofthc Wel- land Canal in particular, that he prac- tically forgot the Trent waters. The Scheme lay in abeyance some years un- til revivcd by the late Sheriff Conger of Peter-borough. Whilst the great North- West was held by the Hudson’s Bay Company, one \‘CS:CI annually was sul- ficicnt to carry all the fur harvest to England, and by proper timing, through the. very difficult. navigation of Hud Son’s Bay; and the necessity for the opening of this magnificent water-way was not felt then as it is now, and will ‘ be in the future, when millions on mil- lions of bushels of grain from that coun- , try will require outlets to the seaboard. , The original Welland Canal was only a ditch for small boats. Part of the orig- inal canal at Merritton is shown to strangers as a curiosity when compared . with the magnificnnt works that exist : there now. The Welland Canal is twen- ty-tivc miles long, with no natural facil- ities for its construction. It was car- , ricd over a rocky mountain, and had other engineering difficulties to content] with such as do not exist on the Trent (,l rand River nearly as long as the canal For many years the canal has required the assistance of the Welland railway, which was built. on purpose to carry its surplus traflic. Whoever lives fifty years hence at the city of Fenclon l’alls. will no doubt be showing to strangers what we. consider our magnif- iccnt loeks as toys compared with what will then exist.

About three months ago I came out from the old country, de- luded by the stories of plenty of work and good times. Since my arrival I have not been able to get a band's turn . to do. either. I am no ordinary mechanic, My name is Charles Bentley. Ten years ago I was brought out from E England to place the machinery in the Dundas Cotton Mills; three years ago I crossed the ocean to discharge a like duty at the Ontario Cotton Mills here. I atn not a man who drinks. The fact of too being in the cells is voluntary on my part. I charged myself with va- grancy, because I could get no employ ment throughout Ontario.” .‘o 120 Miles on Steerback. Oxcn can be readily trained to be governed by a bridle and to carry a rider. When a boy we had an ox bro- ken thus as well as a horse. This was of course done for the novelty of it, as there are plenty of saddle horses on the farm. The l’tu't Worth (Texas) Gu- chc gives the lbllowing: “ An old gen- tleman named Jones rode from Oak Grove, 15 miles from here, to a neigh- bourhood 44') miles south of here, on Wednesday, to notify his daughter that her mother was dangerously ill. He did not. ride a wild and untamed! horse of the pampas. nor ride in a char- 5 int, but mounting the hurricane deck of" a twoyear-nld steer, made the trip of I lit) miles in 16 hours. He started onf his return this morning before the sun . was up, his daughter uccoml‘utnying hitn, , riding a pony, while the old gentleman i contented himself with his faithful bo- vine.
