The day was the 24th of May, which. as we all know. is Queen Victoria’s birthday. A great many red-coated soldiers were on the streets, getting read for a grand celebra- tion; bands were p aying “ God save the Queen," and men were yelling themselves hoarse with the same sentiment. The two Yankee ilgrims watched the proceedings silently or a while, and then one of them â€"-history has forgotten which-â€"yelled out in a very indiscreet voice, “ -â€"-â€"â€" â€"-â€" the Queen."

Mr. Legru, after a second trip to Ottawa, has returned to Montreal, at the Windsor Hotel, where he is awaiting an answer from the Government to settle legislation on sugar and establish at once at Berthier (en haut),‘ the first manufaotory. which will be followed by three others if the result answers to the ex- pectations of the studies of Mr. Legru, who is an authority on technical matters in his country. if we are to judge, at least. by the extract we pubhsh from a special renew, Le Journal des Fabricants de Sucre. The Journal says: “ To arrive at the remark- able results that our readers can under. stand as well as we have done. at the sugar manufaotory of Marci], in France, M. Legru, jun.. superintendent of that manufaetory, must have devoted three years in profound studies on the subject of molasses. If that engineer has succeeded at last in rendering the Manaury system ractical and economical, if it were ossible or him to apply it on a grand sea e, in a central sugar manufactory which counts no less than four efineries (raflinesg, it is due, we state it wi lingly, to his in elatigable perseverance, and to the intelligent com- bination of his knowledge of chemistry and of/the mechanism of sugar manufac- ture that Mr. Legru owes that brilliant success." We believe the Federal Government will . understand how' to apgreciate the usefulness of the estab- lis ment of the industry of best- root sugar that we intend to establish in all the provinces of the Dominion. which will give a fresh stimulus to our agriculture. The results obtained by Mr. A. J. Lavallee last fall, in the province of Quebec. when he endeavored to get conâ€" tracts for beet roots from those farmers. are indications sufficientto prove that they are growing im atient to devote their labors without de ay to industrial agricul- ture. We do not doubt, therefore, that owing to these advantages, satisfaction will be given to the just demands of the syndi- cate. especially when we consider that this syndicate, far from attempting to monopo- lize the affair. leaves a' share to Canadian capitalists who will be willing to associate themselves with the enterprise. ellienoeein Whom-in.

Colonel Wadeson. V 0.. who sow retires from the command of the Seventy-fifth Stirling- shire Regimentâ€"under the operation of the five years' limitation of commandâ€" entered the service some thirty-five years ago as a full private. Without any sort of influence at his back he worked his way steadily upwards through the non-commissioned ranks â€"it was far; slower .work then than nowâ€"until the outbreak of Indian Mutin found him in the position of regi- ments sergeant-major. The Seventy-fifth being ordered down to Delhi with General Anson's column formed part of the force which first came into serious collision with the revolted Sepoys. who turned out in enormous strength to block the northern road to the Mogul capital. After a desper- ate fight at Budli-ki-serai, the mutineers were utterly routed. with heavy loss, the Seventy-fifth playing a prominent part in the business b) carrying a six-gun battery :at the point of the bayonet. When the general offered in consequence to do any- thing he could for the gallant corps, Colonel Herbert, the commanding ofliCer, asked. in the name ‘of the officers, for the be- stowal of a commission on Sergeant~Major Wadescn. This appointment was duly gazetted on the 2nd of June, 1857, and from that time such rapid promotion followed that the lieutenant-colonelcy and com- mand of the regiment were attained in less than twenty years, without the purchase of arsingle step and without the super. session of a single comrade. Colonel Wade- son won the V. C. by two conspicuous deeds of daring at Delhi, when, at the imminent risk of his own life. he saved the lives of two wounded soldiers belonging to his regi- ment in a couple of hand-to~hand fights with native sewers.

I was alarmed to see him‘ keep his feet in the snow so long, but he could not hear them out of it. It was half an hour before he would take them out and then the pain was all gone. and when I had wiped them dry and rubbed them a little he was entirely oom- f0rtable. ut on his stockings and shoes and went to ay. He never afterwards had any trou is with his feet on account of this ireezing. His sister got her feet extremely cold, and put them at once to the fire.

Virginia, dated the 8th relief party which was dee tched from here to the snow-bound vi age of Paris succeeded in reaching the place yesterday after an exhaustin and dangerous journey. The sufl'erin s of e 800villagsrs who have inst. says: "‘ The ‘ been buried n the snow since December, 20th were something ap g. Today Charles A. Watson. one o the relief party, returned here. He says that they were all sinfully frostbitten during their journey. he relief arty, which started out in a large four. orse sleigh, made ra id ro- gress for five or six miles, butw en t ey reached the foot of the mountains the roads became almost impassable. Several drifts were encountered of immense depth, while the men were rendered nearly helpless by the cold. One of the horses got stuck in a sncwdrift and had to be abandoned. . During Thursda night the party only made four miles. T ecrust of snow was not quite strcn enough to bear the sleigh, which broke t rough again and again, compelling the halfofroaen men to get out and struggle through the drifts on foot. They kept bravely on, however, and reached the vi 1 e by 10 a. m. Friday, having meanwhile ost another horse. Not a sign of life could be seen, and the re- lief party at first thought that the had arrived at a city of the do , only to -die themselves. They urged on the two horses that had survived the night. and traversin the main street, finall reached what t ey judged to be the schoo -house where the committee of fifteen had established themselves. The building was almost hidden from view, but, in answer to the shouts of the party, a faint response was heard, followed by a man’s head emerging from an o ening out in the wall twenty feet above t 0 ground. Hemproved to be Mr. Wright, the energetic he of the committee. Mr. Wright quickly summoned his men, and had the relief party carried into one of the houses, which, in honor of their arrival. was soon glowing with a generous fire. In the other occu ied houses only small fires were burning, as the fuel had become very :low. Nearly all Were suffering from severe frost: bites, and were almost iuca aoitated for work. The women and ohil ren had also suffered a great deal, although given the warmest rooms and supplied with old clothing in which ,to wrap themselves. After the four visitors had been made com- fortable, Mr. Wright summoned the com- mittee, who since last Monday have been governing the villagers with an iron rule. An inventory of the stock of fuel and pro- visions showed that there were four cords of wood and a number of old buildings left with which to keep the fire going. The committee had seized the stock of the two village gr ry stores, which, together with the frozen ame, furnished a supply suffi~ ‘cient to allay .all fears‘ of immediate jstarvation. The contents of the sleigh, ‘consisting of medicine, soft linen ‘for bandages, canned fruits, preserved meats, wine and liquors, proved an invaluable additionto theirlittle store. The doctor who formed one of the relief arty at once went to work in the hospita , re- lieving the exhausted physician in charge, who, with nearly a hundred cases to care for, had not been to bed for over a week. ‘ The committee expressed the o 'inion that they would be able to get along or another week without further aid, provided the snow ceased and a crust formed. This would allow forage parties to walk without serious trouble. and they could then doubt- less procure fuel. The committee have made a number of excellent rules for the government of the village. In the early part of the week daily attempts were made to keep communications open by outtin tunnels through the immense drifts whic every night formed around many of the in- habited houses. The work was terribly ex~ hausting, and the committee determined to stop it. A number of men were detailed to each inhabited house. They were given a supply of provisions and fuel, one man was placed in charge, and the snow was then allowed to accumulate at will. As a consequence. one-half of the villagers were risoers when the relief party arrived. very morning each house furnishes its quota of men, who are lowered by ropes or ladders from the roofs of the half buried dwellings. These men make a tour of the village, ascertain the condition of the sick, and then depart on their search for fuel and birds. These latter, as well as deer, foxes, scene and chickens are succumb- ing to the cold by thousands, and the villagers, by gathering them before they are covered by the snow, obtain a wholesome and agreeable supply of food. The daily struggle through the snow is at- tended with varying success, the arty usually returnin about noon. Mr. right then gives to see man a generous drink of whiskey or brandy, and the exhausted vil- lagers return to their homes, those inside haulinglthem in through the windows or roof. r. Wright has every drop of liquor the village contains locked in his own house. At first the li nor was in charge of the committee, but t e chief found that they were not all to be relied upon, several getting gloriously drunk. He thereupon had the barrels removed throu h the snow. with great difliculty.to his own ouse,where either he or his sons mount ard at all times. Many of the houses. y direction of‘ the committee. have been partiall torn down in order to st sup lies of fue . Mr. Wright expressed t e wis that some ’one should be despatched backtoBerry- 3 ville the next mormngto relieve the anxiety :of friends and relatives of the snow. bound villagers. Mr. Watson volunteered for the ldaugsrous journey.‘ He left the village ‘ early this morning. and being an plied with ‘ a fresh team, found much less ifficulty in ‘ getting through the snow. The ice crust on the Surface had become strong enough to hear his sleigh. and he reached here with- out mishsp. The snow has ceased falling, and as the ice crust becomes hard the vil- lagers are becoming hopeful and confident of ultimate safety. It is probable that they will soon break the blockade.
