Tenders must be for the whole or part oi the £3,000,000, in the proportion oi one-half of the Guaranteed Bonds and one- hall of the ordinary Dominion 0! Canada 4 per cent. bonds. and no tender will be ad. mitted which does not comply with the con- dition, by bidding one price for the two stocks united, under which condition itis, inotifled that no tender will be accepted at less than 90; per cent., equal to about £4 3s. per cent. Here it is evident that the credit of Canada is to be carried 01! upon the Imperial guarantee; at least so it appears to my very inadequate comprehension. The imposition oi the condition, Ithink, is to be regretted, as it implies a doubt as to the inherent value of the Dominion stock, which need not have been raised; and the clause has certainly raised a suspicion in the minds at many oi the British public who, feeling that no such condition was necessary to scare the fullest response for the first proposal. will not unnaturaliy imagine that the security of the second needs strengthen- ing.

At an early period oi the settlement of the country, the Government had erected quite a large and commodious building at the east end of the Beach, on a place of shelter for the settlers and others passing through the country. It was known as the Government House. Seth served in the Flankers during the war of 1812-13, ‘snd at one time was stationed with a dozen others at this place. One fine day two strange sail were deseried bearing toward the House. On coming nearer it was discovered that they bore the American flag. No time could now be lost. A portion of the stores was destro ed. Such ‘ as would sink were thrown into t e marsh ; barrels of pork were rolled into the water on the east; rhuekets and aceoutremente were thrown off the bridge near by (now the Black Bridge.) The enemy was landing half a mile east when the guard crossed the bridge and took to the bushâ€"all hut Seth. He threw , of! his white Flanker uniform and hid it behind a shell over a door, and hastily donning his rustic dress which he had with him, he walked away, teeping the House between him and the advancing even- ing, until he reached the road track. He had not gone far when he met the American marines. An officer enquired, " Who are you, and where do you belong 1" Beth re- plied, “ I work-for a farmer a mile and a hail away.” “Is this a Government building?"

In pkyaiquc he was a decided improvement. Ol medium stature. muscular. broad and square built. his constitution was good. and he knew not what it was to be sick. His cheek bones were high and bumpy. irom behind which his small, grey eyes twinkled. His complexion was pale and not subject to tan or lreckle.
