President Cleveland, in reply to a. per- sonal attack made upon him by the editOr of the New lork Sun, says ;â€"“ There is a. line, however. it seems to me where criti- cism and abuse should stop. The man yvlm invades the privacy of a family and infiulges in coarse 1nd wanton attacks on p; ivate citizens is certainly no better than a highwaynmn. He places himself on the level of the blackguard, and his vulgar- ities can have no weight with decent people.” President Cleveland is closely in accord with the sentiments of Judge Rose. ..

On Monday last at noon the fire brigade was called out, the house of Mr. Thatcher on William street in the North Ward being on fire. As the building was beyond reach of any hydrant, it was slowly burnt to the ground. Every effort was made by the citizens who gathered round to stop the progress of the fire, but to no purpose. Most of the contents were saved, but the loss will be considerable, as we understand there was no insurance. At about 10 a. m. yesterday the fire bells again rang out. Mr. A. D. Mallon’s stable adjoming the East VVard'school being found to be in flames. The build- ing was destroyed. Mr. Huo'h Workman retires from the \V orkman and Sons livery stables, and the business will for the future be carried onby his sons Mr. William and James Workman.

The remarks made upon the respective motions were de- livered earnestly, imprcssively and with a great deal of feeling, but space will not permit of their presentation. Both motions were finally dropped and one' substituted leaving the appointment un- decided, which was carried. . . .

Dr. Wad-El-Ward lectured in the Cam- bridge street Methodist church on Monday and Tuesday evenings to large audiences. The Dr. is a native of Jerusalem and a convert to Christianity. He is aman of wide learning of pleasing address, is gifted with a fund of rich humor which he uses with discretion, and has a. command of the English language remarkable for one who has :,acquired it by study. No more in- teresting lectures have been listened to in Lindsaya for many a day, and all who have not hea1d Dr. Wad- El- Ward should avail themselves of the first opportunity to do so. The doctor appears 1n the costume of his country and 1s accompanied by his 11 1fe who also appears in the dress of the Jewish women, and ass1sts at the close of etch lecture in singing with her husband the songs of several nationalities, a very interesting part of the entertainment. To Bible students, the lectures of Dr, Wadâ€" El- Ward are invaluable, the des- criptions of the life, customs and manners of the Jews being such as can not be obtained from books, and can only be given by one who has been born and has lived in Palestine. Many obscure passages of the Bible are made clear in the doctor’s lectures, that have been a puzzle and a stumbling-block to many, and the explan- ations are so apt and well expressed as to make them entertaining as well as profit- able. The doctor lectured to a large audience in the Queen street Methodist church last evening. . .. DEAR Sm:-Though not a reader of your paper myself, I would beg the privilege of saying a few words in its columns concerning our Alderville Indian Village. Just two years ago our present missionary, Rev. Mr. Lawrence, came amongst us both as missionary and teacher of our Indian --school. In a very little while we saw that the grade of instruction imparted was thorough and efficient. A year ago this last winter, when John Dougal Son of the Montreal Witness ofl'ered various prizes amounting to $1500 in all for the best written essays in the Dominion written by the scholars of the schools throughout the same, he induced two of the pupils of the school, Miss Katie Franklin, and his son Arthur, to write in the competition. Imagine our surprise when we ascertained that the prize for the County of Northumberland was awarded to Miss Katie Franklin, and a special prize to Master Arthur. But then the matter did not end there. It was an- nounced that when all the stories had been read by the public as published in the Witness, that three prizes would be given to whichever three stories the readers would pronounce by their vote to be the best. For this purpose coupons were sent out to all subscribers of the IVz’tness the world over, on which to re- cord and return their vores. Imagine our surprise to find out that those prizes were awarded as follows: lst., Miss Katie Franklin, 2nd. Master Arthur Lawrence, both of Alderville, and 3rd. Miss Lizzie McKay of \Voodstock. Thus in our Indian schools we scored two out of three in the whole Dominion, which we deem verv creditable for an Indian school. That Mr. Lawrence’s pupils appreciate his faithfulness in his work they have given substantial proof in the fact that on the evening of Thursday of last week they assembled at his house and presented him with a beautiful address, accmnpanied by a beautiful watch, an Appleton Tracy mm ement in a silver case, to which the Reverend gentleman rendeled on the following Sabbath morninga suitable and appreciative reply. The Celebrated Blackfoot Chief Joins the Great Majority. . \VINSIPEG, April 27.â€"â€"A telegram from Blackfoot Crossing announces the death of Crow Foot, Chief of the Blackfoot nation, after an illness of only four or five days. Crow Foot Was the most prominent Cann- dian Indian of this generation, and possessed great influence over his people. He inmrinbly was friendly to the whites, and during the recent rebellion kept his tribe loyal, although they were solicited to join Riel and his red allies. Crow Foot had passed the allotted three score and ten. He made his will and gave - Alderville Indian Schools. To the Editor of The Watchman. Alderville, April 26th 1890. aWay all his horses, re commended his people to imitate the white man and work on their lands, and asked that his brother, Three Bulls, shonld succeed to the chief- tainship. Crow Foot’s last words were to express his thanks to Hon. Mr. Dewdney for kindness shown him and to sask for a continuance of that sympathy to his people. Crow Foot’s funeral to-day was attended by the Indian: defartment of' ficials and about 800 Indians. It appears that on the 24th inst. he went intoa swoon and was supposed to be dead by his medicine man. His best horse was shot before the tepee for his use in the happy hunting ground. Four hours after be revived, and had something to eat. He also had a smoke, and then he told his relatives and people not to mourn or cry. He lived until Friday at 3 p. m. He was laid in state on the burial ground from Saturday mornino till 4 o’clock to-dav, when the funera took plac'e. All his medals and presents received during his visit east were on View. The coffin was a very large one, all covered with black cashmere, and Crowfoot’s name was written on the top in big letters made Wlt-ll brass tacks. Rev. Mr. Doucet re- cited prayers for the dead and all was over. ' Mammoth White Carrot Seed at Higinbotham’s.
