In this comstituency there are large numbers of Irish Roman Catholic voters, and the McKenzie government finding their case most bopeless had to do something des- perate, and what did they do? Why they granted an mmnesty to Mr. O'Donoghue Roman Catholic Irishman who was implicated in the a Riel outbreak at Winnipeg. Noone we suppose will find any fault with his being amncstied, others who joined in the samo rebellion were so treated, and why should not he ?-- But long atter Riel hud been par- doned three several attempts were made to secure an amnesty for O'Donoghue but failed "each time under the McKenzie government, that the necessity for the vote of that and very many will consider party in Quebec east has had some- thing to do with the amnesty.

His Honor, Judge Burnham, held a court on Monday 26th ult., at the town ball Man. chester, for hearing and dealing with any appeals against the Voters' List for the town. ship of Reach for the year 1877. The only appeals made were with the vigw of having some twelve rames put on, chiefly of farm- ers' sons and two or three who were only on as renters in the places where they were but had not been entered for real estate which they own in the township. The court was a pleasant oae there was nothing offered of a factitous, political or partizan nature, and thesclaims of the applicants being just and equitable the Court ordered the names to be put on, We think there were only one clerical and one typographical error, To say that the names put on will cffect the political vote this way or that would be a presumption quite unwarranted and creating jealousy whers none should exist.

Poole--as per announcement-- delivered his lecture on the Lost Tribes of Israel, on Tuerday evening 27th inst, under the agspices-of the N, 0, Mechanics' Insti- tute. Thé number present was not all that one could wish, but when the almost impasse. able state of the roads--cxcluding all out- siders--is taken into consideration none could be dissatisfied with the turn out. W. M. Jones Esq, president of the. insti. tute, took the ehair and invited all homey men present to take seats on the plat and after a few appropriate introductory iN marks, introduced the lecturer who in com-/ ing forward dashed right into his subject, instituting an immediate search for and hot pursuit of the ten and a half fugitive tribes who have succeeded in eluding all search for the past two thousand years till finally cornered and captured by RevW H Poole who found them snugly located in Britain and her colouiesand the United States. The Rev. gentleman is a gifted lecturer, brim full of bis subject, has everything on his finger ends ; and is so thoroughly conversant with history, geography and Philology that neither Jew nor Gentile can get away. from him. He is an cloquen t, forcible speaker, a thorough scholar and handles his subject in a manner at once interesting and instructive He has few cqualsas a platform speaker, himself fully convinced of the conclusive. ness of his arguments, and being thoroughly in earnest and armed at every point he does not leave his audiengg a hole to creep of, the only alternative being unconditional surrender. Bo well did he bundlethis subject, so powerful and bewildering were his argu- ments that the great majority of that audi- ence went away piuming themselves on the idea that they were no looger dispised Gen- tiles but favorites of heaven, genuine Ierael- ites, part of the once lost but now found sheep of the house of Israel. Not a few of them on their way home having been convinced "that they are Israelites were anxious to advance another step and find out to which of the ten tribes they belong.
