The Rebellion Quashed. “’hcn, on Saturday last, the official blackboard was hung out at the post-; oflicc, with an announcement in chalk that Riel had bct'u caught, some thought the news too good to be true, but it was happily confirmed by the city pa- pcrs, which arrived a few hours later. flcwas captured about noon on the 15th, not far froin Batochc, by Arm- strong, Dichl and llowric, three famous Prince Albert scouts, who, on coming out of the binsh on an uufrequented trail, cspicd Ilicl, who was unarmed. and tlll'Cc companions, who carried shot- guns. They made no resistance, and llicl, who said he intended to give him» scifup, was taken to Middleton’s camp, where he is closuiy guarded until orders respecting him are received from Otta- wa, What will be done with him is now the question, and. while th :rc ap- pears to bc no doubt. that his trial must take placu in the territory in which his offence was committed, there seems to be a doubt whether he will be tried by court martial, by an ordinary court, or by judges specially nppointcd for the purpose. A month ago the Montreal Gilliffi' and other Govcrunmnt organs expressed the opinion that llicl ought to be summarily disposed of when cap- tured. At that time it was not very likely that. he would be caught; but, now that he is in the toils of the law, we expect the same papers will say all they can think of in mitigation of his crime. In Montreal a subscription is being taken up for licl’s defence, and a remarkable proofof the political in- fluence of Qucbcc is aftordcd by the fact that this announcement. in the house , of commons of llicl's :ll'l't.'>l. was received in profound Silence, “ as if," the Tor- onto Nun-s says, “ it was a national misfbrtunc.” The rebellion may be looked upon as quashed as far as the half-breeds are concerned, for they are sttri'i-nilcring in such numbers that Middleton finds their support a burden; but the Italians are still defiant and it may take a long time to subdue them.

W. \‘v'. Blott. of Fcnclou Falls. beâ€" ing incited thereto by Mr. Graham. agent of the New York Life Insurance Co., agreed to insure his life in the said company on (as he believed) the following terms: lie was to pay an annual premium of $21.") 56, for an in- surancc of $1,000, which was to be payable at his death, if it happened within ten years. or, if he was living at tltc end of that time, he was to receive a ‘ paid~up policy for the amount. )lr. Blot! considered the insurance very cheap, as he took the words “ the amount " to mean 81,000, and agreed to insure. lie was examined and ac- cepted, paid $5 in cash and gave his noe for 8230 St}, which he was to pa ' when he got his policy. But, before it arrived, .‘lr. lilott discovered that the paid-up policy he would receive at' the end of ten years would not be for $1,000 but for less than half that sum. He therefore ref’uscd to complete the insurance and allowed himself to be sued on the note, feeling convinced that he had a good case, and the rcsultjus- tificd the conviction, as thcjudgcs with- out. any hesitation gave a decision in his favour. The fact is insurance mat- tcrs are becoming so complicated in con- scqucucc of the variety of “ schemes " under which people have the option of insuring, that no man ought. to take a policy in any company until he is satis- fied that he perfectly understands what he is to get in return for his annual payments ; and some of the policies are so cunnineg worded and so bcmuddled with conditions that the holder may vitiatc his claim without knowing that he has done so. “ Didn’t Know It Was Loaded.” Mr. Joseph lleard, our combined hardware merchant and tinsmitb, is attending to business or walking around the village with the customary broad smile on his countenance, notwithstand- ing the fact that he has a. bulletin his left arm. Last Saturday night about nine o’clock Hugh Strong and John Cuucannon, two residents of Vcrulam, walked into his store and the former said he wanted some 32-calibrc cart.- ridgcs. A box of them was handed to him, and while he was buying them Cuncannon said he would like to exam- ine some revolvers that wurc in the show case. Mr. Heard accordingly took out three or four of different patterns, but one of them was precisely like the one which Strong had taken from his pocket, and which. with extraordinary carclessness, he laid on the Counter “ltlt the others. Whether there was a cartridge in Strong's I'cvnlm- wlwn hr- produccd it, or whether he put. ono in after buying the box, we cannot lcarn ; but at, any rate a chamber in it was loaded. and when Cuneannon. thinking the weapon was a new one, pulled the trigger, there was a loud explosion, and the ball entered the outside of Mr. lleard’s left arm, a little below where the shirt slcevc begins. For a time there was a great Commotion, and Cun- eaiinon, who at first thought: he had killed Mr. Heard, cried like a child; but fortunately the accident. does not seem likely to be productive of serious consequences, as the arm was only four days in a sling, the wound is healing rapidly and gives but little pain, and the shoulder joint, though still stiff, will probably soon move as smoothly as ever. Dr. A. Wilson, who was in attendance soon after the shot was fired, inserted a probe to the depth of an inch and a half, but faich to reach the ball, which he says he shall leave where it is, as it will do no harm.

On Francis street and Bond street repairs are ur- gently needed, and we are told that' they are equally nccrssary in other parts of the village. The council will not: meet until Saturday next, and a week’s delay is too long, as ends of planks are sticking up and spikes arc projecting in scores of places. \V. C. T.

FlNlSllED.â€"â€"The wharf mentioned two or three weeks ago as being under construction by the Pqu Mill Co. is now finished and is a Very solid struct- ure. It is, as before stated, 60 feet square, and a. very much larger steamer than the Swan could run up to it when the water is at its lowest. Part of the area between the wharf and the shore is yet to be filled in, but. enough of it has been made dry and firm to enable the company's teams to go to the wharf for the wood that is daily being piled thereon. Tun New SCHOOLl‘It)USE.â€"~At a special meeting of the School Board last Wednesday evening the contact. for the new school-house south of the river was awarded to Mr. Alfred Ink pin at. 82.500. The walls, instead of bt-ing built of brick, as was originally intended. arc to be of stone, 0" inches dud thick, this changeâ€"as stone is so plcn‘ tiful and cheap â€"-having enabled the contractor to come down to the price fixed upon by the trustees. The work has already been commenced, and is to be pushed to completion as speedily as possible. A NEAT Fi:.'cn.â€"â€"The l’ulp Mill Co. have lately put up a neat fence, meas- uring about a hundred feet; on each of its sides, to cncloso the houses and out- buildings crccteil by them in 1883 on the south-west corner of the market square. The posts are of cedar, nicely squared, and mortiscd into crosspieces at the bottom, as there is very little soil on the rock. At the front and as far back as the houses the fence is of' pickets planed and painted white, with dark brown baseboards; the other por- tions are of unplancd boards nailed on I horizontally, with a sloping roof on top of the posts. 'l‘un Smuma lloirsn.â€"-â€".\Ir. John St. Lawrence, of Fenclon Falls, has rented the building known as the “Summer House,” on the West shore of Balsam Lake, and about seven acres of land, for a term often years, and intends to turn it into a summer resort. It is two stories high, built of round Cedar poles with the bark on, and is situated in a beautiful grove only a few yards from the water's edge. The property, which is exceedingly picturesque, has been neglected of late; but Mr. St. Lawrence will clear up the unilcrbrush and build a wharf. and make such additions to the buildings as will give him twclve or fifteen bedrooms for the accommodation of gin-sis.

LONDON, May lS.â€"The trial of Cun- ningham and Burton was concluded to- ’ day. The Court was crowded. The i l prisoners were an anxious lock and fol- ' lowed Judge llawkins' charge with ia- tensc interest. The charge was clearly against the prisoners. The Judge au- alyzt-d the evidence, calling the jury‘s attention to the fact that Burton‘s. state- ment. was not made under oath, and therefore entitled to very little credence If there was any truth in the statement it. was astounding that no \vitilc.'\< was called to support it. He drew attention "also to the fact. that Cunningham and Burton had frequently been seen to- gether, and dwelt upon their connection .with the trunk, what they had told ‘ their latidladics concerning it, and the unsatisfactory explanation Cunningham had since given of his relations thereto. The jury then retired and remained out fifteen minutes, when they returned a verdict of" guilty " agallhl both pris- oners. The Court at omen sentenced both men to penal servitude for life. The announcement was received by the spectators with applause, which the Court suppressed. Cunningham main- tained his scll‘compOsurc, but Burton broke down and subbed when the ver- . dict was rendered. When the prisoners . were asked if they had anything to say why the sentence should not be passed, Cunningham declared that. he was iii- uoccnt. He said he was willing to ac- cept. penal servitude for lifc, but tht-y could not touch his soul. Burton simply declared that he was innocent. LONDON, May lS.â€"The press asso- ciation has issued a statement by an Ametican giving full details of thc dynamite plots. Burton, it is stated. was one of the centres of a society called “ The Robert Emmett. association, or Sons of Freedom.” Each centre direct- ed a party of plotters unknown to each other. The chief of the society was not O'Donovan llossa, but a man rc- sidiug in Philadelphia. Burton, alias James Feeucy, was long a bosom friend of llossa. While in Baltimore liurton was a constant visitor at the house of a handsome quadroou. The local patriots complained of this, which resulted in the recall of Burton to New York. A fortnight later the woman was found dead, havingr been shot in a mysterious manner. In 1880 Burton quarrelled with Itossa and they have since been bitter enemies. Burton founded the society. It is believed that his motive throughout was pecuniary. The state- lnent. gives the method by which the explosives were brought to England The Gowcr street explosion was done by an elder brother of Cunningham, resembling the latter, who escaped to America immediately after the explo- sion. Burton directed all the explosions except at London Bridge. ’ lIc detailed Cunningham and another man to blow up the tower. Cunningham watched while the other man placed the explo- sive. The accomplice escaped before the fuse was consumed. Three men effected the Westminster explosions, two of whom in female attire carried the explosives in their honpskirts. All three escaped. An attempt to blow up the Albert memorial failed, owing to the closure of the gates. A package of dynamite is probably in the Serpentine. 0. More Taxes. The report, is widely prevalent that. the government, in order to provide for the increased expenses of administra- tion, caused by the war in the North- west, the Canadian Pacific extravagance and other extraordinary outlays, intend to levy duties on ten. and coffee. They have taken great credit to themselves for giving the people a “ free breakfast table ” by making these articles of tini- vcrsal use duty free, and raising the revenue by taxes on articles competing with Canadian manuliicturcs. The im- position of‘ the duty will be a foolish as well a. retrograde step. It will be not merely diametrically opposed to the principles of protection, but. also to the sound economical doctrine that taxes ought. always to be placed on articles of luxury, so that the loss will fall upon the wealthy consumers of superfluitics. Tea and coffee are not, properly speak- ing, luxuries, thouin there was a time when they were so regarded. They have become articles of every day use, even by the poorest, and the content- plated tax, instead of being distributed in proportion to the resources of thosc who pay it, will fall just as heavily upon the poor man as on the millionaire. It. would be far more in accord with sound policy and justice. \vcl'c Sir John to follow the example of Mr. Gladstone and make up the deficit by imposing an income tax. This is by far tin.- fairest form of taxation, and if the govormnont intend abandoning the protectivc idi-zi and putting on taxes " for revenue only." by all means let us have diroct taxation in a form that will notâ€"llkc the ten and coffee dutiesâ€"favour the rich and fall most. lit-avin on the poor. Thosc who danco must pay the. piper. Canada has been led a pretty dance by Sir John and his friends the specula- tors, land-grabbcrs and railroad inouop olists, and those who are disposed to kick now that the bills are coming in should rcmctnbcr that they are respons- iblc for the expenditures necessitating , the demand, by reason of their having tolerated so long the sliamclms prrnfli- in power.-â€" Toronto .\'i u‘s. _..A- .â€"r»vâ€". . c râ€"~~«~â€"- â€"- Ruskin writes to the press to say that he resigned the Oxford professorship because the University has sanctioned viviscction. rsingular natural i : i i i i i i " Banish the devil of modern nrith- r metic from our public schooh," said the public education in Hartford the other day. “ It assaults the brain and itnycrils the life. it develops prccricity, and precocity is unaaturc, and unnature is a monster."
