The Red River is playing the mischief with its surroundings. Emerson is under water and their fine naw bridge which cost them $70,000 has been carried away. The handsomo, costly bridge at Winnipeg has also been swept away and many of the streets of the city were flooded on Sunday. The steamer Victoria was _ helplessly curried down the Red River and went aweeping under the Broadway Bridge tearing off every 'thing above decks, smoke-stack, wheel-houso &o., &c., and let the bulk drift away. From the 19th up 10 the 23rd inst., no train had reach- Winnipeg from St. Paul and the result is a big jam of parties stopped "on their way. Four hundred Can. adians arrived at St. Paul on Satur- day bat could get no further, eight more coach loads arrived there on Sanday which added greatly to the + crowd and discomfort. A telogram ob Paul on Sunday says: afternoon there wers some 1,500 emigrants in St, Paul detained by the Red River floods. These numbers were increas 'ed. by ve conch-jonds that arrived by the : Milwaukeo, and St. Paul at sickt four millions trained in the principles of 1 she + one-half of the North American continent including seven Provinces hederally united under an Imperial charter, which recites that ber constitution js to be similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom ; and that she possesses executive and legis- lative sutherity over vast areas in the North West, out of which one Province has already formed. _ "That special and increasing responsibil- ities devolve upon the and Par- liament of Canada in connection with'tie development of her resourses, the improve. ment of her condition, her general progress in the seale of nations, and her geographical situation; which render her even more ie sponsibla than the Government of the Unit- od Kingdom for the maintenance ot inter- natienal relations with the United States.

"That it would be to the interests of Canada to obtain 'a freer access to the markets of the world, and that a more ex- tended interchange of commoroties with other countries would be of great benefit and prosperity. "That in most of the treaties of com. merce entered into by England reference has only been had to their effect, upon the United Kingdom, and the Colonies have been excluded trom their operation, a fact which has been attended with unfortunate results to Canada, especially as relates to France. # That the sondition of Canada and the system on which her duties of Customs have been and are now imposed vary widely from those existant in the United Kingdom, and opening relation to the basis and negotiation of commercial | armngements with other States or British possessions views and con. -sidsrations which: do not apply to the case of, or harmonize with, the policy of the Unit: od" Kingdom, which it Is difficult for the Government of the United Kingdom to ade vance, 'and which can be: best realined 'avd presented by the Government of Canada {around through negotiators named by hur, for the purpose of providing seperate trade conven motics was posted st the Union Depot 2st probably no traine would leave for iy lost every week to both em | pendency of theCrown, In the number of been created and in time others will be |' isons of more than ordinkry importance | and shold be in every dwelling in the land, tarsishing as itdoes avast umount ot usefal | information which shonld be'aceessable 10 all, young snd old, Some Y,800 cities, town, villages and other places of import. wnce in the several provinces of the Domin. fon ate discribed with a fullness avd accuracy propertioned to their importance, their ion &o up te latest dates.

A, Allen, Erg, the manager of this Bank has been appoint od to a similar position in the Bank in Toronto and that he will move there in a day or two, A'five years intercourse with Mr. Aflen as a worthy, exemplary and en- terprising townsman, but especially as an setive, upright and hovorable Bank manager has secured for that gentleman an enviable position in the esteem and respect of the numerous customers of the Bank and of all ethers who, have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. But while all may regret the vemoval from amongst us of one of whom we are justly proud as 4 valuable townsman and reliable guide and example ir our financial trans- actions, his promotion fo a still more desirable and important position proves that the authorities of the Ontario Bank know how to appreciate first-class business talent and unswerving fidelity inthe dis- charge of duty and will be a source of pl to all te find ine worth secur- ing a just acknowledgment. Mr. Allen, the amiable partner of his life and his interest ing family will leave this with the best wishes of all, and the sincere hope that long life aml much comfort and prosperity may be the int of all of them, 1 TT Sad Accident.

Me, Kerr of Ashburn showed » beRuty. of a covered buggy. Mr, W. C.

Mr. Terry, of Eprom, showed a capital varicty of Land Rollers which were well spoken off by the farmers, No tarmer should be without » good roller, it ia an implement pose and Mr. Terry understunds whut they should be and how to make them. Reapers were numerously represented and as well in variety of style, quality of mater. isl and improved patterns the show wax especially fine. Several old exhibitors were missing ; the Brown & Paterson Works and the Joseph Hall Manufacturing Company two popular and much respected comperd. itors were both absent, but several new can: didates for public favor were on the grounds. Harris, Son & Co., of Brantford, had some of their fine machiffes on the ground; they are beauties of machines, pets with the farmers, the agent, Mr. Urquhart, under- stands his businessand knows hoy to handle the machines to perfection, Mr. Urquhart did not enter his machines in 'competion, -- The Maxwell Reaper;was shown to ad. vantage; the Bawyet Harvester too was 'on hand, this is manufactured at Milton.and is a good machine ; the Royal Reaper was an active éandidate for distinction and showed to good advantage; the Anrora Reaper was regarded with much favor, the name Flenry the manufacturer, is an ample guarantee for the excellence of the machine.
