Mr. Dickey, answering Mr. Laurier. said that the artillery at Quebec would be reduced from 297 to 214 officers and men on the 30th June. The corpora- tion of Quebec had sought to charge the Governmbnt for water at a price largely in excess of previous years. The Minister thought the charge was un- ‘essonable. and the.

Mr. Daly, answering Mr. Martin, said there was no understanding between the Government and General Booth as to giving or selling him land for the purposes of his proposed colony. The Government had no information as to the class of emigrants which-General Booth purposed sending to Canada, and therefore was not in a. position to say whether they were in favor or his scheme. In answer to Mr. Gii'ouard of Two Mountains Mr. WallaCe stated that the total quantity of hay exported from Canada to Great Britain in 1891 was 11.- *5). tons. and in 1894 175,559 tons. To the United States in the former year the quantity was 50.070 tons, and in 1894 87.847 tons. Mr. Ouimet, replying to Mr. Allan, said the cost of the wharf at Port Row- an was $11,819, giving a depth of water of 8 feet. Hon. Mr. Costigan, replying to Mr. McGregor, said that seine net fishing was permissible in the waters of the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers and Lake St. Clair. No regulation size of mesh had been established. Seine fishing was not permissible last year. but this pro- hibition was revoked on the 22nd of last month. There had been no change in regard to fishing with pound nets. At the opening of the House this af- ternoon, Mr. Dickey sv’d he dnsireu to amplify the statement Win-r: he made the other day wklx reg, aid to the hoist- ‘ng of the Royal Stam'ar !. The Royal Standard could be legally flown from the Citadel of Quebec and Government house on the anniversaries of birth. accession and coronation of Her Ma- jesty. Government house was held to include the residences occupied by the different Lieutenant-Governors. Sir C. H. Tupper. replying to Mr. Martin, said the total amount of binder twine manufactured at Kingston Peni- tentiary last year was 331,266 lbs.. of which 241.061 lbs. was sold, the amount realized being $15,515.

Accordingly the Government ha: decided. to ask Parliament this session tr give an additional representative. so that the change may take effect with the new parliament. It is expected that Alberta. will be divided into two ridingS. that bring: the largest electoral division at present and having :1 popula- tion of 35.000. This was one of the mea- sures promised in the speech from the Throne. ing, but he says he is in absolute ignor- ance of the intentions of Mr. Greenway Le Canada has an editorial on the situ- ation to-night. and makes the signifi- cant announcement that “the Govern- ment will not dissolve Parliament until after full and complete justice has hem rendered to the Catholics of Manito- ba.” As it is hardly likely that the school question in legislative form will come before Parliament this session. the inference is drawn by same iem- bers of the House from Le Canada‘s :tzztement that there will be another session of the present Parliament.

Beyond this incident the sitting was dull. Ottawa. June 10.â€"â€"Members sweltered in the House to-day, with the thermom- eter up in the nineties. There was the usual Monday batch of questions, and then Fighting Joe Martin got the floor and created the chief diversion of the sitting. Mr. Martin is apt to trans- gress the rules of Parliament, although after his legislative experience in Man- itoba he ought to know better. He went so far to-day that the Speaker threatened to “name” him, whereat the coon came down. People to-night are JOE MARTIN CREMESB SCENE Additional Representation for the N.W.

EMPISFORALBERTA Mr. Edgar hoped that if Canada. joined this convention care would taken that she could withdraw from it readily if she so desired. The Copyright Convention was a. warning‘in this respect. The debate ya: adjourned and the House then ad- necessary to attain that object.

He blamed Mr. Boyd, M.P., for this mis- take. Mr, Costigan, answering Mr. Lis- ter, said the Government did not pro- pose to pass rules uniform with those of the United States regulating the meeting and passing of vessels on the lakes and which were different to those in force in Canada.

As church accomodation was then far behind, the old town hall was often used to preach in, as also Fenelon Falls and liobcaygeon at the same time. Mr. \V. Skitch now has his carriage works where the Methodist church was then. The Episc0pal church was then near where the post otiice now stands and the Presby- terian church was a log building and stood south of the gaol, which has been since built. This building was replaced by a brick church, which is now utilized as the Francisst. school. The Baptist church, a frame building with a brick parsonage in connection, situated on Sussex-st, l a little over a block north of Mr. Wm. Robson’s new store. was sold and a church and parsonage bought on Cambridge-st. The Episcopal church was replaced by the line structures now to be seen on Russell-st, west, one of which is titted up for a Sabbath school and other purposes. and the other as the church, proper, the whole of which is presided over by the esteemed rector, the Rev. C. H.|Marsh, one of the most effective preachers of our town. The Cambridge-st. Methodist church was built during the term of Rev. Dr. Freshman. a Jewish rabbi of Moo- treal converted to Christianity by means of hearing the Rev. J as. Elliott preach on the divinity of Christ in the great St. James-st. church in Montreal. Elliott was ordained for the Wesleyan ministry at St. Catharines on the 8th of June, 1845, and was one of 16 received then a:.d there into membership with said confer- ance. It was my happy lot to have been one of that number. Dr. Freshman was a splendid scholar, an. able writer and a sound divine. His son Jacob was a mis- sionary among the Jews in New York. The Presbyterians had a good many different ministers for a while, including the Revs. Muir, Johnston and Hastie, until they were so fortunate as to secure the services of Rev. Dr. McTavish. They were then encouraged to arise and build a central house of large proportions, Wm. N eedler. Esq., Sheriff McLennan and McKeeley, being robably leaders in this movement. Dr. cTavish , as might be expected of a minister of such rare ability and a Christian gentleman of so attracting demeanor, succeeded in making, with God’s blessing, at St. Andrew’s a strong cengregation, so that upon his retire- ment when Rev. Rebt. Johnston came in as his successor they were prepared to .profit by the pastoral care and ministry lof one so well equipped for the charge he undertook, For a young man in his first settlement over a congregation, in wind- ing up the years of a successful ministry, no marvel that he should go with bond: and with the genuine respect of those for whose good he labored, and with many prayers for his success in London. Rev. Wm. K. Anderson filled with acceptance at pastorate of 14 years, resigned and removed Eastward to Vancleak Hill. The Queen-st Methodist church was erected during the term of Rev. G. W. Dewey's ministry and is now in charge of Rev. J. W. Totten, a successful minister in building up the cause, of Christ. And yet with all, iniquity abounds and the love of many waxes cold. We want something of the faith of devotion of Rev. George Waller, of Bristol, of C. H. Spurgeon and of Doight Lyman Moody, God’s word tells where the fault lies, viz: “ye have not because ye ask not,” ye ask and receive not because ye ask amiss. Ops, June 4th, 1895. SIR,â€"-AS one of Ops councillors, and in all justice and fair play, I think it my duty to defend the action we he ve taken in looking after the interests of the tow n- ship, as sworn representatives of the people who placed their votes, and expect us to do our duty impartially, and not ‘throw away the taxes paid by them to any company to gratify their luxurie .

Truly I must say, nowadays as such things as accidents happengthe records show that the indi- vidual who sprains his ankle or is other- wise maimed, generally wins the law suit. The municipality is good for it, and it is only a few cents out of each ratepayers pocket, while the individual is only one, so the law decides in his favor. Very easy you see to put the township in for eight hundred or a thousand dollars dam- ages. It is therefore our duty if it has not been done, to guard the present interests of the Ups township, and I am sure we have the sanction of ninetymine per cent. of intelligent ratepayers to back as up in holding the Riverside Cemetery Co. responsible for damages on their own sideWalk. I look with contempt on the slurs and epithets of individuals, who like to air themselves in newspapers, thrown at the ( )ps council.
