The general hope was indulged that when Liberals came into power they would reverse the policy of the late Govern" ment. Gladstone'a Uovernnwnt l'ulloae follows lunch the same line of policy as their predecessors relative to foreign affairs and are seeking ext-uses to it"uill dealing promptly and popularly with Home questions. The grave import- anco oi the withdrawal of troops from Alkhanistan is startling and inexplic- able, and will prohahly weaken Eng-n ‘land's prestige in India.

For n paltry sum of this amount the county would have direct coininunicntimt from ttortlt'to soutlt,uud the original intention of a county rail wa‘y'be reulize'd. He did not know of his personal knowledge whether the railway would take up the tnetter. He was told that they would. If this 820,- 000 from the county could induce them to do so,he thought it would be a grand ‘ thing gained for the county. The money was not to be handed over un- til the road was completed, so that 1 i there was no risk to be run. He con- i tenth-d that the link would be the pre- sm-vutiou of ‘the county intact; that thtongh the County would then be the shoru‘st ruilwuy line from the north to the trout, and that even under the pool- ing arrangements between the \Vhitby and Midland roads, all the freight from the north would be brought in by this l county road, as it would have to come n)‘ the shortest line. Mr. King con- cluded by pointing out the great illcflll" wnieuce and expense of travelling ttround by Lindsay, the saving that would be effected for the county, and the advantages of having a united north and south. Several tnembets spoke in favor of the scheme, but the majority were unwilling to pass a. by~law with- out first consulting the ratepayers, so the nutter was allowed to rest over until the December sesaion. 10.0â€"- wlm l't'Hl‘ll‘H in Little Builuiu, has been the causv ul‘ curtain «lumcslio troubles in luial'ztmily which lme cn-Mml astrong symlmllny among tlm nuiglnllorg for his Wife; who lnm been the sullemr.

Smith, and it is believed that some other children were with them, brrt it cannot be positively ascertained who they Were. About six o’clock Freddy Smith return- ed home with his clothes wet, and rrporr being afterwards questioned as to what had become of his companion, would not give any information, probably fear- ing that ire would be punished, as he had been before, for playing upon the logs. During the afternoon a little girl had returned from the plains with the story that she had seen and been chased by a wild cat, and the rumor soon be- Came preValentâ€"thongh who started it no one can tellâ€"that the savage animal had killed George Mitchell. Of course scarcely any person believed that this Was true ,- but, not knowing what else to do, a number of men procured lan- terns and torches, and searched through the greater part of the night for the missing boy, whose relatives were by that time sutferiug the most intense arr- xiety. Early next morning his straw hat was found among the logs in Me. Arthur-’3 bay, and any doub's that then remained as to his fate Were soon set at rest, for a. good night's sleep had so soothed the fears and calmed the smile- urent of Mr. Smith's little son, that an account of what had happened was grad- ually obtained from him, and he went ,dowrr to the bay with his father and pointed out the spot where his playfeL low fell off a log and was drowued. after, the little fellow said, coming rrp three times. The moment the hat was found pants were got out, ropes and hooks procured. and a search for the body commenced and continued until this (Friday) morning without success. The bay, though very small, is of great depth, in some places frrlly seventy feet, and at the bottom =tl.ere are immense heaps of logs, slabs, edgings, sawdust and other mill refuse. On Thursday dynamite cartridges were brought from Lindsay and exploded under water, but without the desired effect, though a! great commotion was caused, and a . great many fishes were killed; and the opinion is beginning to be entertained that the body is either not in the bav at all, or that the drags have by this time so covered it. up that it will never 1 be found.

H. Mitchell’s son Gemge, not quite 11 years of age, was drowned in the little bay, owned by Mr. Joseph MuAI-thur, on the north side of the river, nearly a mile from the main street. of the village. In the buy were about 150 lugs owned by Messrs. Smith Jr, Fell, and on them George Mitchell went isbmont or a budsogriug. ~ The masked men entered Jackson'u house at a late hour and by force reunved him to the street, Jackson struggling all the while to escape. Through the exercise of his feet and hands and repeated calls for assistance from his mother who lived close by, his captors were obliged to re- linquish their hold, evidently fearing that his cries would arouse the whole neighborhood and he made his escape. What the nature of the intended pnn~ ‘ ishment was to have been is unknown, but Jackson suslnects it was to huVe been of the tar and feathers order and the thought that such an indignity was even contemplated towards him caused him to have warrants issued aguinst about fifteen young men of the village on suspicion of being members of the masked gang.

Edgar resent- ed the note to Young at the latter's otel in Hols-over, when Young snatched the note from his hand and after going over to the tire-place went outside and returned in A {cw minutes afterwards, and told Edgnr that he and Smith could help themselves. Edgar afterwards laid information before a Woodvillo magistrate against the prisoner for larceny of the note. \Vben the prisoner was brought before the magistrate \he ro- duood the note with his name torn off.
