THOMAS ROBSON. ti lie Q5u3tttc , ESaturilay, Nbv’r 7th, 1885. ' Will Riel be Hanged? The above quastion is being eagerly l asked from one end of the Dominion to the other. but no one can answer itl either in the affirmative or negative. A l few days ago Iliel's late depended upon the deei~iou of Sir John Macdonaid ; but a medical commission has been ap- pointed to prorrtnce upon the convict'a mental Condition, and if he be declared l insane the Premier will no doubt thank his stars at being relieved from his dangerous quandary. Should the emo- mission decide that lliel was responsible for his acts in connnerioo with the late rebellion, he will again be thrown upon Sir John's hands. who will then have to quickly make up his mind whether it will pay him best to quarrel with the Bleus of Quebec or the Orangeuien of the whole dominion We have long been of the opinion. which we still hold, that Riel will no! be hanged. Diphtheria. On Friday of last week Mr. J. J. Power‘s son John, a lad about 15 years of age, complained of a sore throatfi which gradually grew worse, and on Monday he was taken to Dr. E. S Wilson, who, pronounced it a case of diphtheria. The news soon spread and caused some little sensation throughout the village, especially as Mr. Power's residence (which was at once placardetl) is on the next lot to that on which the school house stands, and next day many of the pupils were kept at home by their parents. No doubt. the fear ex- cited was intensified by the knowledge that diphtheria has for some months been raging in and around Minllcn, where upwards of thirty fatal cases have oc- curred, the great. majority of the vic- tims being children, who are peculiarly liable to the fell disease. But, though it. is right to take all reasonable pre- cautions, there are no grounds for a panic, as when there was a bad case of diphtheria in this village some time ago no one took the infection, and the patient recovered. We have heard it stated that. there appears to be some- thing in certain localitiesâ€"whether in the air, the position or the surround- ings is not knownâ€"that is favourable to the spread of the disease, and as the cases in It‘euclon Falls have been few and far between there is reason to believe that the mysterious influence does not exist here. As said above. young persons are much more liable to diphtheria than adults, who, if possessed of good constitutions, are seldom at‘ tacked by it ; but the majority of paâ€" rents are fully as solicitous for the safety of their children as they are for their own, and will therefore be anxious to avail themselves of all the preven- tives of the disease at their command. As to what is best to do they can no doubt obtain advice gratis from the resident doctors. who will probably tell them among other things that the fumes of burning brinistone are good to take. We are glad to learn from Mr. l’owcr that his son is considered out of danger. and is progressing so favorably that he will probably be quite well in a few days. A First-Glass Entertainment.

Charley Podger, who was born in the old Clifton House. Fenelon Falls. about 26 years 22:0. and with whom ' most of our local readers are. well ac. quainted. is back on a visit to his birth. place after an absence of over two. .‘years, during about half of which period he travelled through the Western States, where his adventures would fill a book which. ifwrittcn in his own original style, would prove very amusing read- ing. ‘ In April of 15.84 he left Lindsay, where he kept a restaurant for Some time. for Victoria, British Columbia. and there got employment in a wholev sale grocery house, where he remained about five months. He then joined an impecunious theatrical company at a salary of ten dollars a week and ex- penses, and went to the coal fields to give the miners a tasre of the legiti- mate drama. At the end of four months. when they were at Nanaiuio, the manager skipped to Seattle, Wash- whom he owed $40, and the rest of the company in rather a bad fix. At Na- niine, but when they looked down the them refused to descend except C. I’.. who, though he admits that he felt rather nervous, was determined not to show the. white feather. It is custom- ary to ring a bell when strangers are going down. as. a signal that the descunt is to be made slowly; but as Charley was the only stranger and a hardy looking young fellow, they played a practical joke on him by lt-tiing him down in the usual time. eleven seconds which scared him so that. he almost. ex- pected to find himself dead when he reached the bottom. After the manager absquatulated with the funds the com- pany gave an entertainment for their joint benefit. and with the proceeds got back to Victoria all dead broke. Here the thirteen kept. house for about a Incl‘lfl), the married actors' wives doing the cooking, and, after a few perform- ances, gave a final one for Charley Podger's benefit and then broke u . Soon afterwards he and three others wentvia the Pacific ocean to San Fran- cisco, making the trip of 800 miles in four days, during nearly the whole of which he was so awfully sens-ink that even “'t'lh'tt'r "3:1?er "t’l falls to llll'r ., hish W0t“l~ lljlll .wl-q- nl «crib! lil~i Fitnsalifllla l': ‘ l9" .

Leaving this employ- ment be invested his last 31 50 iii a ticket to Sacramento. and got amongst a lot of Spanish and Portuguese ranchâ€" men, who couldn't understand a word he said, though he tried them with both English and Irish. Starting back on foot, he walked the whole ninety miles (except five which he rode in a box car) and returned to Oakland after an absence of three days and three nights, during which he solemnly dc- clares he hadn't a bite to eat and nothing to drink but water. His only pair of boots were minus the soles, and he was so hungry that when he reached the free lunch counter of a. man he knew he devoured enough to make six ordinary meals before he was satisfied. Soon after this futile attempt to obtain employment he left for Canada, and on his way home saw the gold mines of Nevada, which are not now being worked. and spent two days among the Mormons at Salt Lake. While acting in British Columbia he took the char- acter of Miles on Copiilecn in “ The Colleen Bawn," and one of the Victoria papers gave him a favourable notice which lie exhibits with pardonable pride. About four years ago he sud- denly started off for Winnipeg and the NortlaWest, where he spent. several months. and, as he has an irresistible propensity to ramble. his erratic genius will probably send him in pursuit of innumerable adventures before he shakes off this mortal coil. unless be shitch it ofl'a great many years sooner thanâ€"judging from his present robust and healthy appearanceâ€"«lie is at all likely to do.

Chief of Police Williams arrived home on Monday night after a three weeks‘ holiday spent in the district of Haliburton, back of Pcterboro', llllnl.‘ iug. He reports that partridges and other game are abundant up there, and that he had a splendid time knocking them over. He gives some idea of the manner in which Canadian deer are being slaughtered to supply the Ameri- can markets. He met a hunting party up there from Buffalo, among whom were two butchers, who had secured 2T deer. and were carrying them off to the Buffalo market. The process they fol- low for slaughtering deer is as follows: â€"â€"-'l.‘licre are in Haliburton district many settlers who depend mostly on hunting for a living. If anybody wants to secure any game he must hire one or more of these settlers, who know the country thoroughly. They charge 85 a day and upwards. A “ sportsman ” secures game in proportion to what he pays the hunter for his own services and those of his dogs. The hunter posted the parties in this case near a small lake to which a deer-run led. He then beat the bush with his dogs, and when the deer were all driven down the “ run ” into the water, they were incr- cilessly shot. down, bucks, does and fziwns being slaughtered without dis- tinction. The party the Chief iiiet had secured 27, all of which were shipped off to Buffalo. To ship game out of the country is unlawful, but: as the Customs officials are generally watching for those who are smuggling contraband goods into the country, they pay very little attention to those who are taking them out of it. and this sort of thing has become a regular business. In the case of this party, however, the Gas- toms authorities did wake up, and seized and confiscated four deer. The remainder, however, seemed to have been successfully smuggled out of the country, and before this, no doubt, arc in fat upon the Buffalonians. A short time before the Chief got there another party had bugged eighteen and taken them off to the States to sell. By this means they pay the expenses of their trip and make a little money besides.â€" Lontlon Advertiser. The Manitoba Wheat Crop. The Manitoba Commercial gives the following account of the state of the wheat crop just garnered :â€" ” It. is now certain that-considerably over half of the acreage of grain in the country this year has escaped damage, and the samples to be had from these favoured districts are for superior in quality to any produced since 1881. We have tested some dozens of samples. of sound hard wheat, and it is impossi- ble to get one under 62 pounds to the bushel, while several have gone over 65. Even some of the samples pronounced touched with frost turned the scale at 62 pounds, and scores of them can be had that will test over 00. It can then be seen that much which we may con. sider frozen wheat will make prime flour, and some of it we should consider equal to the best produced last year, when frost. was unknown. That there is some of the wheat crop b...in dain- aged must be admitted, but the propor- tion unfit for milling purposes will probably not exceed ten per cent., and may not reach that. We have thus over fifty per cent. of our crop free from dutiiagc, twenty per cent. more capable of being used for making high grades It is a fatal disease from i l l i l l l l Giong Irish fortsâ€"Against ESE lish Vessels.

Oct. {illâ€"Patrick Black. of Kingston Mills, who is developing a sandstone quarry. has come across sev- eral curiosities. One of these is a huge tombstone. perhaps marking the grave of some departed Indian warrior; the other a well-rounded piilar about four feet in diameter, penetrating the solid rock for fifteen feet. It is of the same material as the main body of the rock. but the veins are circular, precisely like the growth of a tree, the veins in the rock being flat. Near at hand is a circular opening in the bluff out of which another such pillar has fallen. The pillars are just such curiosities as the savants might expect to dig out of the ruins of buried Pompeii. but that they should be found in solid rock is puzzling to many people. -0 Smallpox in Montreal. During the past month there were sixteen hundred deaths from smallpox in Montreal, and last week there were three hundred and fifty-four. As the cold weather has now set in, with no decrease in the virulence of the epidem- ic, the prospects are that Montreal will be terribly afflicted during the winter months. In over twelve hundred houses in the city there are from three to four thousand cases of the disease, with hos- pital accommodation for four hundred patients. The board of health,altlieugli it has done much‘ towards improving the sanitary condition of the city, seems powerless to stay the progress of the disease, which shows a marked increase of late. Nothing apparently remains for the people of Montreal to do, save. to live cleanly, to insist. upon the i~ola- tion of cases, and general vaccination. and to wait for time to heal their “'Ot‘S. o-..â€"â€".â€"__. Who is to Blame ? A curious case is before the tribunal in Paris. A gentleman was getting down from an omnibus in a crowded tliorouglilitrc. when he missed his foot- ing, nearly fell backward, and, to recov- er his footing. ciught hold of another passenger. The latter, taken by sur- prise, also found himself in danger of falling, and, in his turn, caught hold of a woman with a child in her arms, the upshot. being that all four rolled to. gether into the road. A heavy goods van was coming along behind, which, had it not been for the prompt. action of the omnibus conductor, who seized the horse's head, would have run over some of the prostrate forms.

The danger of the spread of stiiallpox is not. by any means confined to the cities and larger cotiinitiuities. if it. once gains headway in the rural dis- tricts it is likely to prove more destruc- tive and more diflicult to deal with than in the urban Centres, owing to the want of proper institutions and appli- ances for checking its spread. The Slici‘brookc Examiner makes an excel. lent suggedinu in view of the danger of the breaking out ofstn'illpox in luni- bcrcamps. It is that every lumber- man should so: to it that every man . engaged is vaccinated before he is per- i Initted to go into the woods. of flour, twenty per cent. more for use i in medium and lower grades, and not i a icinnte locality in tlm bicltwomla, far more. than ten per cent. which will re« 1 from medical aid and without facilities quire to be used for feed purposes." ~ The Iuebriates’ Home.

The lutnbcruien ought not lto neglect their obvious duty in this l matter, the urgency of which is all the greater owing to the large proportion of their employes who are l"rcne|i~Caua- dians, some of whom may hail from infected districts. As a more matter of self-interest they ought to see, that every man is vaccinated before the start for the lumber camps is madeâ€"- Toronto Nears. ._....-.._...-._._......
