The trial of Louis Riel was resumed â€"-or perhaps we had better say recom- mencedâ€"at Regina last Tuesday, and those who wish to read it must procure a city paper, as a single day's procecd~ lugs would fill hqu a dozen columns of the Gazette. Already the evidence com- pletely negatives the prisoner's plen as to the purity of his intentions, it having been proved by several witnesses that he had threatened bloodshed and boost- ed ol' the half-breeds‘ ability to “clean out the whites," and the production of :1 letter in his own lllllld‘Wl'IIID'J, which he did not know was in the possession of the prosecution, had a startling effect upon himself and the audience. There is very little doubt of Riel’s conviction, unless the doctors called to eXumine him pronounce him insane; bul scarcely uny- body believes he will be hanged, as his Bleu friends. who have great influence with the Government, will do all in their power to save him. *â€" The Scotâ€"(Act. There was a. meeting of the Scott Act central committee in Lindsay on Thursday Inst for the purpose of wind- ing up the affairs of the campaign, and the delegates present had the pleasure of hearing Mr. James Gallon, the re turning officer, formally announce the result of the voting. The total majori- ty for the Act was 965, not. quite so large as we had reason to believe it. wns when last week's Gazelle \vns published. but quite enough to place the sentiments of the people of Victoria beyond a. per- adventure, and to fill the hearts of the opponents of the liquor traffic with thunkfuluess and joy. Upwurds of400, or nearly half, of that majority was ob- tained in North Victoria, every municr. polity in this riding having declared in favour of the Act, although at two or three polling places there was It slightly adverse vote. The village of Omemcc gave a majority of seven in its favour, and the only municipalities that. am denvoured to perpetuate the liquor truf~ fic were Lindsay, Ops and Emily. We hear the most mouruful predic- tions as to the disastrous results that will flow from the carrying of the Act, nod are told that u man who lives just outside the boundary of the Scott Act county of Simone goes across the litre into Orilliu and takes orders for whisky, which he peddlcs as if it were Inilk. and that Bobcaygeon and Kinnrount will be supplied with liquor in the some munâ€" ner. Possibly they may, but it will not be for long. as the Scott Act will l shortly be voted on in the county of, Poterborough, where the feeling in fn» ., vour of it is said to be much stronger than in Victorii. No doubt attempts. and many of them successful ones, will l he made to cvnde the law by those whose interest or nppetite impels them I to make them, but even if the traffic in l liquor cannot. be prevented ut certuin' spots on the borders of the county, it can be elsewhere. and the temperance watch to detect and punish violations Those who have hitherto lived by the liquor traffic may as well make up their minds at once that their occupation is gone in those counties in which the Scott. Act has been passed, The l strongest supporters of the traffic admit Its oppo- nents declare thlt it can and shall be. determined to make a vigorous effort to prove that they nre right.

We must , not pass the Army without saying that. their influence has always been in the interest of the temperance cause. It is to be hoped that the marked answer to our prayers on the 23rd of July will} encourage us to take “ everything to God in prayer.” But the opponents of ‘ the Scott Act have. just as much reason to be glad as we have and some of them more. Every argument which has been I brought forward against the Act during our canvas has been selfish, not a single disinterested one amongst them. One would say that taxes would be higher, another that us he did not drink. nor yet any of his friends, he felt indifferent as to the drinking question. W hat philanthropy l yet. in almost every case, some one is suffering by their indiffer- ence. Every one has an influence ; what u pity that it is so often baueful. But we are on the eve of better things. We haveâ€" or soon shall haveâ€"the strong arm of the law to help us, and we can and shall. in our own sphere, seek to hear our part in the noble work of resâ€" cuing the fitllen, strenthening the weak, and removing the temptuticn from the younn. E: l l l l A Specimen Brick. Passing Mr. Heard's hardware store the other day, we noticed a new brick. with the name of Jordan thereon, eonâ€" spicuously plaCed in his doorway, and upon enquiry learned thut it. was a. spe- cimen from the first batch made at Mr. William Jord.tn's new brick-yard oppo- site Mr. John L. Brown’s farm in Feu- elon, about two miles and :I half from the Falls. Tire sumple happens to be defective in form, which is no doubt he cidentnl, but experts pronounce it all that can be desired as far as quality is concerned, which is the main point. A brickyard so near the village will be of great benefit if the product be sold at the usqu price; but it has been statedâ€" whether truthfully or not. we cannot say â€"thut Mr. Jordan has said he will de- liver his bricks in Fcnelon Falls at. what- ever those from Lindsay cost laid down here, which simply means that: he in- tends to churgc as much for drawing his bricks two and a. half miles as is charged for druwing Lindsay bricks n- bnut seven times the distance. And why should n't he? In this world the business motto is: “Every man for himself and the devil take the hind- most; " and Mr. Jordan, who doesn’t set up for u philanthropist, built: his brickynrd for his own benefit and not. for other people's. ReceptioiiNo. of the War News. The Grip Printing & Publishing Co have issued their Reception Number of the Illustrated War News. This num- ber is one of unusunl interest. It con- talus sixteen pages. and the illustrations are entirely composed of scenes in con- nection with the return of the Volun- teers from the North-West. The pub- lishers sent special artists to Winnipeg and other principul points to report and illustrute the proceedings, and have gone to considerable expense in getting an- thentic sketches of the various demon- strations nll ovcr‘the Dominion. A racy account of incidents and experiences of the troops returning home is written by Captain C. W. Allan. who accompanied some of them from Port. Arthur. and it is illustrated by J. W. Bengouglt in his best style. This number is. in every respect, the best which has yet been is- sued, and is worthy of being sent away to friends all Over the world, as a rep- resentution of the receptions tendered We understand i there IIRIS been already an enormous de- r mand for this issue. and the publishers have had great. difficulty in filling 0rd Certainly everybody who appreci. ates the work done by our brave volun. teers should have a Copy.

I We are glad to hear that the crop of hay is better than was predicted, and we did not believe it would be much below the average; for. though many old meadows were badly winter killed, the grass on the new ones grew luxuri- antly under the influence of the frequent and abundant. rains. S. S. PlCNIC.â€"â€"The Fenelon Falls Methodist Sabbath School picnic at Sturgeon Point was held last. Thursday according to announcement.

A LARGE FUNERAL.â€"The funeral of the late Mrs. James Junkin, Sr.. which took place last. Sunday, was one of the largest that ever came into this village. there ha'vingbeen over one hun- drcd vehicles in the procession, besides some persons on horseback and a. good many more on f0ot. The deceased “his not. only personally popular. but. had numerous relatives and connections, and was one of the oldest residents of the township, in which she hurl lived for the past. forty-six years. Her venerable partner. who is over eighty, tells us that when he bought his farm forty-eight years ago, his only means of access to it was by the lakes and along a. road cut through the woods. To MARCH on Nor 'ro Mnncn â€"â€"The members of the Salvation Army in this village were very indignant. lust Tuesday evening because Con~tnble Nevison told them to stop playing music and shout ing on the street; and during the sub» sequent proceedings in the hall the cap- tain prayed, “ God help the devils who are trying to trample us under their feet I ” The constable was only curry- ing out. the orders of the council. who fear that. runaway accidents will be caused throught horses taking fright at the army, and hope to escape responsi- bility by entering a protest. We see by the Post that on Tuesdin Inst. Captain Scott and Lieut. Godfrey, of the Lind- say Salvation Army. were sent to jail for 25 days and 10 days respectively for a breach of the by-lnw prohibiting shouting and making noises on the street. ACCIDENT.â€"On Thursday evening Inst about 6 o’clock a very serious acci- dent hnppencd Mr. Townsend, a farmer from the township of Murray. who is visiting his brother, who lives in Fenc- lon less than a mile this side of Camer- on. He had been out driving in n covered buggy with his sister-in-htw and it little boy, and when returning and within about 60 rods of his brother's gate. struck his horse rather sharply with the whip. The animal shied so suddenly that the two off wheels went into the ditch at the roadside, the bugg was upset rind all its occupants thrown out. Mr. Townsend‘s two companions escaped with n. fer scratches and bruis- es, but he himself was picked up insen- sible and carried to his brother's house. We have not yet It:anch tho extent. of his injuries nor how he is progressing. The horse, after running a short. dis- tance, turned into a lane leading to a farm-house, and the buggy was badly smashed against the gate posts. A FAlTllI-‘UL DOG.â€"On Thursday of last week Mr. Thonms’Austin, of the firm of Austin Bros, butchers and gro- cers, Fetielou Frills. tool; :I. steer out to a pasture field about three miles froth the village. lie was accompanied by his son and by the big black woolly dog Jock owned by the firm, and the steer was led byn rope eighteen feet long, and an inch thick. When the field was reached the rope was taken from the animal‘s horns, coiled up. and thrown into a corner. nod neither Mr. Ausrin nor his son thought of it when they left. After walking a short distance they missed the dog and thought. he had trotted on ulteud of them; but. when they reached home he was not there. and nothing was seen nor heard of him until Friduy evening, when they were informed that Mr. Jack was dragging the rope up and down the road by the pasture field and valiantly attacking every dog that. went near it. An ac- quaintance ofthe faithful animal's was at. once sent for the rope, over which he had kept guard for twenty-eight hours, and which he had finally carried back i to the corner in which Mr. Austin lmd left it. i A Desperate Game. ELRHI‘. Wis, July 27.â€"-A box was shipped by express from Black Iliver Falls to Chicago on Saturday night. The messenger became suspicious of the contents and telegraphed to the nu- thorities here.

Pnrnnnono‘, July 27.â€"For the last muple. of months Harvey Pearson, of Lakefield. has been making things lively for his wife by his drinking habits and rough treatment of her. On Thursday evening he was on :t spree, and on com- ing home crowned his career of cruelty by striking his unfortunate wife on the head with a heavy, four-legged milking stool, opening the scalp. She also re- ceived a cut on the side of the head. severing the temporal artery. The last. . blow appears to have been given with an axe, for when the neighbors, attract- ed by the loud cries of the woman, reached the house, an axe was lying beside her covered with blood. Pearson was arrested and brought before the police magistrate of Peterboro’, and was remanded for one week. The woman lies in a. very critical condition. . A Witness of a Murder. CORK, July 24.â€"â€"In the case of Wm. Sheehen and his brother-in-IIIW, David Brown, who are charged with the mur- der of the fnrmcr’s mother, sister and brother at. Mrs. Sltcchnn's farm-house ncnr Custleton Roche. county of Cork, in Oct'r, 1877, David Duane, a young farmer who was arrested for complicity in the murder, and who lodged the In- formation that led to the arrest of Shee- han and Brown, has made it full confes- sion. He states that. he was an unwil- ling witness of the murder. All three were killed by Wm. Shechnn and David Brown with a cooper's urine. The bo- dies of the victims were taken by the murderers to a well five hundred yards from the house and thrown into it, u lot of rubbish being afterwards thrown in to cover them. Dunne further declnres that after disposing of the bodies and washing themselves, the prisoners went to the house and drank and sang and danced the remainder of the night. The trial begins on Monday. - Forest Fires. CAMDEN, July 24.â€"The Jersey for- est fires are now assuming most alarm- ing proportions, and unless a heavy rain soon quenchcs the flames they will ac- complish the destruction ofu number of towns and small settlements. Amongst the pines of Camden, Burlington and Atlantic counties they have never be- fore hurncd so fiercely, and not. since 1838 has the country been so dry and favourable for the spread of flames. Yesterday the towns of Alco. Jackson, Slonntown, Waterford, I’estletown, Win- slow, Weekstown, Hammonton, Atson and other small places in Camden and Burlington counties, near the Camden and Atlantic railroad. were surrounded by a brush and wood fire, and all the inhabitants were out fighting the flames. Largo tracts of cedar timber and several dwellings have already been burned over, and many of the people fighting the flames hud narrow escapes. A grant cloud of smoke hangs over the burning district, and the country is lighted for miles around at night by the fires. The , people are entirely worn out with watch- ing, and fighting the flames, and are praying for rain. - A Bad Policy. The disarmament. not, under which not. only Indians and half-breeds, but all settlers in the Northwest. can be com- pelled to give up their firearms, which are almost n necessity in a new country, will have II. had effect on settlement. Immigrants will not. cure to come to a country where a. coercion net is in force, particularly British immigrants, whose ideas of the advantages of western life i are always closely connected with the facilities for sport. The dream of the emigrating Briton is to get sornewhcrcg where in the intervals of his toil he will have an opportunity to kill game without fear of landlords or game-keep- ers. How will those who have been contemplating settling in Manitoba rel- ish the prospect of having their houses searched for firearms, and being left. de~ l fI-uccless in case of an Indian attackl Of course it may never be necessary to put the not. in force, but. the fact of its existence. and the knowledge that at. any time it. can be applied and the setf tlers treated as disaffected Irish pens- ants have been dealt with under the co- ercion policy, will be .1 strong deterrent upon immigration. All the labours offi immigration agents in the old country will not make up for the loss which the Northwest will be likely to sustain from i this illconsidercd measure. The dis- arming of the Indians is It just. and ne- ‘ cessary step. The mischief is thnt it. is: coupled with an ab-urd and humiliating provision for treating white settlers as no citizen of a free country ought to be treated in time of Vince. The Ameri- , can press has of course given a good deal of prominencn to this unwise piece ' of legislation, and the consequence will be to retard settlement and bring thei Country into discredit. People do not. want to live in a region where such or- bitrury measure are considered neccsvj sury even no a safegnnrd in reserve,‘ though they may never be actually put in ope:a:ion.-â€"- Town/o New. . .. -â€"-â€"- - . -.c__.

An English paper snyszâ€"A good story is told of a dog whose deprnved instincts had led him into ruffinn socie~ ty, and to his becoming a. working part- ner in n “ smashing" business. It was his part to carry the counterfeit min. In putting off bad monev for genuine - the chances of escape, shduld the utter. er be detected in the attempt, are much enhanced if, in the event of u policeman being culled in. no other had money is found on him. For this the mongrel in question provided. The “ smtrs," ns pewter pieces are called in London, were contained in an oblong iron tobacco box. which the dog was taught to hold tight in his mouth, and when the smasher had got rid of the false. min in his pos- ses<ion it was easy for him to get anoth- er. But in this instance the villuiny of both our and master was brought to light and properly punished. The man, with the dog at. his heels, went into n butcher's shop in London. designing to exchange :t bud half-crown piece for n good two shillings and n half-pound of steak. The butcher's dog, a half-bred mastifi', happened to come in at the some moment, but. whether it. was his keen instinct that led him to discover thnt the other was up to no good, or whether he was merely pugnucious and over ripe for a light, as are most hutchers' dogs, is not known.
