The Mail of the 28th ult. spoke as if the Gorernment had already decided upon the route of the new porâ€" tion to De built, and the Globe of the 31st represents that a "powerful ring" to faâ€" vyour the Thorold route has been formed, and is composed of some local men, ard *one or two wealthy Ottawa Government oflicials."" ‘The Thorold route, the Gl»A, concludes, . will like‘y be . adopted, "whether the most feasible or not." The M«il assails the "Grenvil‘e‘" project with extraordinary bitterness, and a city conâ€" temporary recently represented that the Thorold deputation had been assured that the (Government had no intention of wlopting it. All these statâ€"ments are wide of the mark, It is said to be true that a local capitalist has bought up some sixteen or eighteen farms along the lime of the proâ€" posed Thorold route. It has also been said that the same gentleman purposes charging $1.25 royalty on every yard of stone taken from his quarries, and as proâ€" bably five or six bundred thousand yards will be required for the work, it is evident there would be a plum to suck ot more than half a million of dollars over and above reasonable value, besiles the amount to be received for right of way. â€" All this is conditional on the adoption of the Thoruld route, and if this gent‘eman chooses to speculate in lands and stone quarries, running his own chances of makâ€" ing a * good ‘thing," the Government ofight not therefore to lose sight of the public interest, in selecting the route. As to any "(Ottawa oflicial" being conâ€" cerned in the "ring," the idea is absurd. Few of them have the means of entering upon such vast speculations, and it is well known that there are keen men with big i .lances at their bankers in the neighborâ€" nood of the Welland Canal, who can do all the speculating without assistance from 0s tawie.

He shut himself up in his room, loaded his gun and placed himselt at the window, waiting for a proâ€" pituous moment to fire upon the nocturâ€" nal ramblers. At last he discerned in the darkness twoflgnmunt were advancing towards a side door of the house. M. P. took aim and fired ; but he had leant so far out of the casement that he lost his balance and fell. Seizing a flower pot that decorated his window, he remained for a few seconds suspended at a height of eight yards from the ground. His servant, who happened to enter at that moment, heard g:. masters cries, but could not reach him in time to save him from falling. The flower stand gave way, and M. P. was precipitated on a stone bench, and so fractured his skull" Two hours later he expired, aiter relating the circumstances to his son. ‘The servant then contessed that his master had fired upon him{l:tuhowuonterin‘ the house with his mistress, as he was often in the habit of doing, unknown to M.

Marmuaos or as Easterx Prncess.â€"TLle marriage of a young princess is always a subject of interest, but the approsching nuptiâ€"ls of the eldest daughter of his Highness Mustapha Pacha with Khalil Sherif Pacha has, in addition to the feelâ€" ings such events inspire, the halo and romance which life in a harem throws over the fair inmates. Four splendid carriages have been sent from Paris to complete the number of the bride‘s equipages. Thirty gorgeous robes are being made by fashionâ€" able modistes. ‘The wedding veil, of Brussels lace, has cost £800.

His practice is to cateh hold of any woman he may meet, under the imâ€" pression that she is the missing lidy, and give her intd custody. At Preston he seized hold of several women, and escorted them to the police station, where he demanded that they should be taken in charge. The flofioo, however, fortunately refused, and berated the women, who indignant‘y denied any title to the honour of being the ‘blind man‘s bridie.‘ Eich of them, however, he asserted as he took them to the station really was his wife, who could change her voice to deceive him,> The uxm- went to a lodging house, and, on g the voice of the proprietress of that establishment, immodisury ‘ran and embraced her.‘ Un heing pushed away hbe struck her twice, tor which offence he was nimself taken into custody, and committed to prison.
