Galt moved am amendment to ask the power of negotiating treaties (lirectly with foreign powers. I’Ie sus- tained his position by asserting the necessity for seeking .more extended markets. Sir John A. Mncdomhl replied in a speech of great energy, contending that the amendment struck at the British connection, and did not indicate the best .way of obtaining Reciprocity. He stat- ed that Britain has given as power to negociate direct through the Brit’xh "Minister, at Washington. He moved- an amendment in this sense, and was very loudly cheered. Mr. Smith of New Brunswick said his loyalty had never been questioned. but. he did not agree with Sir John A, Macdona'd in his interpretation of Sir A. T. Gale’s amendment. He did not believe that. the United States would give us-reciprocity, but. contended we should seek. the power to extend our trade with the West. Indies and Brazil. Hon. Dr. Tapper denounced the reso- lutions of Sir A. T. and Hon. Mr. Hun- tington as disloyal, in a speech of great rigor and sarcasm. Sir A. TVUalt replied. Mr. Chameau made a. strong speech 'in French, supporting the Government amendment. Hon. Mr. Howe supported the Gov- ernment amendment. - Mr. Mackenzie opposed it as a party dodge and contended that .incrcased exertions should be made to obtain Re- ciprocity.

One day last week a. widow interred 3 \her husband in the cemetery at Black- 3 burn. During the ceremony she weptl bitterly, at the same time holding heri right hwd under the left breast, as ifi for the purpose of suppressing those! t l emotions that are sometimes evidenced g in paroxysms of uncontrollable grief.â€" l She lingered By‘ber husband‘s grave- 5 side until the otficiating minister andl most of the mourners had retired froml the spot. Suddenly she drew something: from underneath her left breast, which 1 proved to be her late husband’s clogs: ironed at the sides. These she threw! into the Open grave, exclaiming, “Bean? tay thees wi tha, fer .tha’s punished me ‘ wi um oft enough.” The clogs, which would weigh from 61b. to 318, fell with a heavy thud upon the coffin, the joiner’s work of which it was very likely they would injure. After leaving this token in the grave of her husband, the bereav- ed widow momentarily dried her tears and soon after rejoined the mourners.â€" Preston Xvi-all}. we endorse the following from the New York Obserrer: “Once for all we;E say to our friends, that when a retired 3 clergyman, or a relieved widori, or} physician whose sands are nearly run,i or any body else, advertises to send a receipt free gratis for nothing, to cure any complaint, it is a humbng, qnaekery, and an imposition. The money has to be got after you have been duped into sending for the receipt.” An Iowa paper advertises for an ap- prenticeâ€"“girl or boy, we don’t care which, only so the ofice be kept clean ,_ penance mod.” A Token of Affection. The recent movement of the 10311115181 in Red River was not such a completelt failure as we were at first led to believe The object of the rising was to accom- . plish the release of the Canadian pris-; i oners who have been held in custody; 1 by Riel since the beginning of the i. troubles. When the call was made the“ peeple promptly answered it, and at one 1 time there were over six huridred 1n the field under command of Boulton and 1 Schultz. This force would have been a 1 match for any that Riel could have , brought against it; but the leaders very ‘ properly decided on peaceful negociaâ€"i tions before proceeding to extremes. â€"â€" ? Accordingly .. deputation was sent tol Riel, with a demand for the immediate 1 release of the prisoners. At first the a, demand was refused, but on the fol low-i ing day, by which time the loyal forcei had increased, liiel liberated all but ‘24- i 1 who refused to swear to keep the peace. 'l'hese he said he would not liberate1 under any :eireumstanccs. 'By another 3 day ”however, the loyalists had increasâ€" ed to 700 men, and were preparing to march on Fort Garry. This was more ‘the 11 Pic! had expected. He became é alarmed, suddenly changed his mind, iand that evening liberated all the pris E oncrs, even including four who had been isenteneed to banishment. The loyalists i having accomplished their purpose, sep arated, and it was while a small party {of them were returning to their homes, ‘ accompanied by Boulton, that that oflio 5f cer was arrested. The result of this imorement shows that there is a strong l party in the ceuntry which Riel cannot 5 control.

Egremont i has not said 'that it can afl'ord to despise Railway service, or that it is unwilling to ; assume obligations in order that these may ; be secured ; it has merely said that the i Company which has shown so much anxious tsolieitude to possess its debentures does not ldeserve its confidence. They have judged ‘ correctly, and whatever may be said to the contrary by the press of Toronto.-the sub- servient agent of the hucksters’ conspiiacy «the wisdom of the decision will be amply gjaatified by the event. DURHAM CHRONICLE. A short raaume of the facts which we have {presented for the consideration of our readexs, from time to time, and which pro- hszy atfected the result, may not only be useful for future reference, but asa re-state ment of the reasons, which, in the due course of natural iogic, decided against the aforesaid Company at the p033 fan Friday last. The first fact in the series is that «he Pro- visioual Directors of rho Toronto, Grey and Bruce Raiiwav Company otl'ered to build and equip a3 feet 6 inch road, commencing at Toronto and extending to the Georgian Bay, at Owen Sound, and also to Lake Huron, in the County of Bruce, for a bonus of $5,000 per mile. This offer was follow. ed by a demand upon Municipalities in the County of Grey for an aggregate sum of 5,400,000, being equivalent to about $9,000 a mile, on the whole length intervening be? tween the Scutheru' and the Northern limits of the County. By the way, the manner in which this demand was made, was in un- doubted shoddy , magnate style. Owen . Sound, Sydcnham and Holland, accepted 1 the servile terms, but Bentinek, Glenelg, and others would not submit to release To- ronto from a fair share of the responsibility The force of the argument was conceded.â€" Toronto contributed 250,000 in aid of the general scheme. By this act of liberal'ity or of justice, the Directors were placed in a position to give literal effect to their original proposition of $5,000 a mile bonus. The next incident in this chronological series of facts deserves to be distinguished as A CHAPTER 0N THIMBLERIGGIXG. In the Session of the Legislature of On- tario, immediately succeeding the ratifies. tion of the Toronto City By-law to which allusion was previously made, a Bill was in- ; trodncedâ€"pteceded by a petition of course -â€"t'or an amendment of the charter of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway Com- pany. Among other things it was enacted that the Company might build the road by ‘ sections, that the first section might termin- ate at Arthur or Mount Forest, that the whole of the TufO'nti) bonus should be ap- plied on the first s:ction, and also all the other b;.nu;es that might. be supplied by in- tervening .‘Innieipalitics. It was also en- acted that the Municipalities lying beyond the bounds of the first section should not be permitted to apply bonuses in aid of any other sec-ion than the one of which is form- ed a part. At the lust Session of the Leg- islature of Ontario, without the authoriza- tion of any Municipality, an Act further to amend the original Act was passed, in which the Toronto bonus is to be applied between .the limits of Weston, on the Grand Trunk, and Arthur, and authority is given to apply the bonuses voted by a Municipality to any section-on the mere resolution of the Tom» L ship Council. We inme a. carefui perusal ofthese facts, alone they fu nisb pmma facia evidence of the existence 0! trickery, but taken in con nection with all the known concommitants. trickery is~too extenuating an ep thet. In Decemberlast a disposition was mani- fested of willingness on the part of the western townships in Grey to forget their tormer differences. and to unite for the pure pose of aiding the Toronto Company in giving practical etl‘cct to their original de sign. The Warden took upon himseii the responsibility of inviting Mr. Gordon, the President, to meet the Councillors at Dur- ham. The Warden and .Mr. Jackson were” delegated to confer with Mr. Gordon. They offered, on condition of the Road 'heing ' brought to Mount Forest, and on the pracfi, tical evidence of the suitableness of the: Narrow-Gauge, to guarantee a bonus of $5,000 a mile from one end to the other of theCounty. Mr. Gordon replied that he was authorized by the Board at Directors to say, that it would not he in the interests of the stockholders to take a less sum than} $400,000 as a bonus, and that ass change might take place in the persouel of the Board in June or July next, it was Open to doubt whether terms so favorable would, again be offered, and that as the Company had got a good thing they intended to keep it. We apprel-end the “good thing ” is possessicn of the bonuses from Toronto Ar- thur, amounting to about $500,000, and all converted into cash, with the obligation of building a tramway from Weston to Ar- thur, and when built the property of the iCOPpanYO .n _o ‘P f‘ -, A _ A .'_ The Verdict of Egremont. vw-u-rvvâ€"I v The justification of Egremont is com- plete ; but before we close we may be per- mitted a word of condolence with our neigh- bor, Mount Forest. Its ratepayers, under extraordinary stimulus, proceeding from Toronto, sanctioned a By-lew for $20,000, which was never ratified, and which, we suppose, there never was any intention to ratify if either Normanby or Egremont, or both, could have been persuaded to venture their necks within the prepared noose.â€" The dangling bait‘has now lost its power to charm, and the little hucksters of Mount Forest, as weli astheir brethren of Toron- to, between whom and themselves the dis- tinction is one of dimensioustonly, may, it they possess the requisite amount of intellio : 2euce, extract'a useful lesson, VCULC’ CAIlLIVS I. “UV.“- 0 We hazard nothing in predicting that the I Toronto, Grey and Bruce Company mi 1 not. be permitted to handle any bonuses west or northwest'of the Village of Arthur until ‘ they have first answered to the City of To- ronto for having misapplied its bonus; to the intervening Municipalities, by obtaining money under the pretence of making the route the highway of traffic from the West and North ; and to the County of Grey for having placed impediments in the way of increased commercial intercourse between it and the City of Toronto. ‘ 51?

' HGQr Sunâ€"A paper purporting to be a telegram from Mr. Gordon, which, if true, renders that gentleman .to rather narrow dimensionsâ€"quite in keeping, I admit, for a broad man could not be 'l’resident of a narromgauge. The tele- ' gram was to the effect that if Egremon't refused to give the bonus, its produce would be charged extra freight. 1f the telegram was a forgeryâ€"a Mount Forest argumentâ€"‘Mr. Gordon should repudi- ate the calumny. I have rather a high'! Opinion of Mr. Gordon, so much so in- l deed that I cannot for one moment be- lieve that he would put a prohibitive duty upon grists that were intended to patronize his own mill; however, sue l cess in bonuses, taking Toronto for 110‘ l example, is not dependant upon the pos- iscssion of intelligence. Besides the dif- 1 ferential tarifl' a1gument which was used for the purpose of enlightening our un- derstandings by interesting our selfish ness, there was a copious supply of whiskey. It 13 said that the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway Company de tailed 8600 to run the machine 1n Egre moat, an apparently liberal allowance, but not over-much so in view of the esti- mate which the respectable loafers in villages and towns have formed of the capacities of men, who, like myself, have to work for a living. Eanzuom, 18th March, 1870. To the Editor of the 'Chrontbk. We do not hold ourselves respoqsib'lo for the opinions of our correspondeflts, and only give them publicity for the infor- mation they contain. I want 3 Railway, but. I don’t want to be degraded, and am determined not 10 put up with an insult. Yours truly, an,â€"â€"In my previous letters I des- cribed as minutely as possible the three diseases most incidental to children in this climate, so that all might form a pretty correct opinion .as .to the ailment of their child, provided it should he at- tacked with either ef the complaints mentioned. T a [he Editor of the C'hrom'c'Ze. The question is, “ what .shall I do with my child, now it. is sick.” Some will say, oh, I will wait till to-morrow before sending for a Doctor, and then, perchance, it will be better; and to. morrow comes, and then they will wait till the next day, and so on, and when they do go for the Doctor at. last, it is at night, when buth they and the Doc- tcr should be asleep. In the first place, if you intend to send for a Doctor at all, the sooner you do so the better, for it gives all parties a better chance, and saves you expense, for in that case a Doctor can accomplish ‘ in one visit, what, under other circum. stances, may require several, and any Physician would much prefer not being i sent for at all than being called in when ‘ it should be the undertakerâ€"firm“ science does not as yet‘instruct us in the means of restoring lilo, and as a general rule, our faith is not strong enough to accomplish it. But if you have made up your mind to get along without medical advice, and do your own prescribing, then I tell you the less you give your child in the away of ; variety, the better For me to write out a number of re- cipes in detail, and to say choose one, would be like handing a quiver full of sharp-pointed arrows to a blind mauvto shoot at a target. The first principle, however, is to take care that the child does not take any more cold, and 1n all cases you can not go wrcng by giving a little mild opening medicine, for this purpose a lit tie castor oil is generally the most con- ‘venient, but if there is much irritability of the stomach, so that the oil be reject- ed, rhubarb and magnesia will answer the purpose better. If the child can be sheltered from .draughts of cold air, 2 afterwards use a warm bath before put- ting it to bed ; let the bath be compos- ed of warm water, a .tahlespoonful or so i of mustard, and if possible, a little ' spirits of some kind; but the child must , E be well protected afterwards. You will i generally do well by keeping the head cool if there is much fever. If the Craupy symptoms show themselves, give gsomething to: create vomiting, even be- fore the Doctor comes; if you .have nothing else 111 the house to do it with, you can generally produce it by the use of salt and water, but it would be well if all having children would, then in the village, go .to the drug store and ask for the following; Antimonial Wine, Syrup of Squills, in equal parts.;.keep in the house in case of an emergency; and graduate the doses from the infant up, has it would or would not create sickness - 'at the stomach, they would then he in possessiono‘f .a simple, -reiiahle remedy, _- that would not interfere with anything , that the Physician would give after. ’ wards. If there is much dificulty in I the breathing, apply some mustard. 1 plasters to the chest, keep the child 1n {5 bed and try and promote perspiration if f possible, give pleasant, cooiing drinks, 1 such as toastowater, barley-water, the whey of milk after removing the curds, the juice of berries, or apples, c., keep- ing the bowels regular, and not strive ; to force the appetite. But let me re- 1: iterate'the fact, that each case may re- quire different treatment, and of this difference, none is able to judge but the 9 l P113 sician. r1 1-; 3 CORRESPONDENCE. Sennaâ€"Messrs.

A few minutes past 12.. O ’cloek the roof fell in with a tremendous crash, which vras heard for a circle of over a mile and a half. Those residing in the imme- diate neighborhood Were startled from their sleep and sprang from their beds? in 'the wildest state of excitement, be- lieving that an earthquake had certain- ly occurred. A feeling of uneasiness had prevailed for a length of time re- garding the insecure character of this E immense structure, and frequent reports were made to the military authorities i respecting it, but still it was occupied as usual. Notwithstanding the large quantity of snow which had accumulated on the roof during the past two or three days, and the uneasiness manifested by a few more apprehensive persons, the Queen’s Own Rifles paraded there last evening till after ten o’clock.

At the recent session of the Supreme Court in Saco, Me., a leading lawyer wished to show that-deeds, not words,l show the animus of an action, and ac? cordingly cited to the jury the case of the prodigal son, “whose father divided his pr0perty among his two sons, and then said, Go, work to-day in my vine-1 yard. One of them said, I go, but didn’t ; the other refused and afterward went.” The broad grin on the faces of the court and jury convinced theadvocate that quoting Scripture was noc'nis forte.

The Chicago Tribune has been inter- viewing an Ixish resident of that city aged 110, who is still hale and hapny. It 18 need 983 to add that he has been _a widower f0: many yeme. The Cedar Falls, Iowa, Gazette tells a story of a sharp practice in that vicinity : “A person at Parkersburgh recently went to a lawyer, and took counsel concerning a log that had been stolen. The lawyer ado vised thata writ of replevm be procured and the log replevied ; and it was done.â€" The other party went to the same lawyer for advice as to haw he might recover the log. He advised that it be replevied ; and it. was done. At this point. party No. 1 went for more advice. The same process éwas suggested. The last time we heard from it, that log was being replevied as fast as the several parties could get out papers.

Even clergymen do not, as a rule, permit themselves t-‘e sufi’er loss by an extravagant submission to the rule oi~ right. It isthere- fore with pleasure we note that one of the profession has taken high ground in an every day matter. As our readers are aware, the Statutes of Ontario exempt the‘1 properties of clergymen from local taxation, ' and the profession generally have not hesi- tated to avail themselves of the privilege, unjust though it must be admitted to be. But, says the Kingston 'Wln'g, there is an exception to this very general rule. The Rev. Professor McKerras, of Queen’s Col- lege, is entitled to the exemption, but has, i in the most conscientious manner, tendered to the Kingston City" Collector the amount of taxes preportionate to his assessments, believing that the law 18 an injustice per. petrated on the general community.

Both witty and sharp was thatwoman of Baltimore who sent to her grocer these lines : “Mr. Tattle, this thing has got too much hemp in'it for molasses, and not quite enough for 3 Clothes line; so I beg you will exohang'e it for a. purer article.” Some i-ash feilow says that the giving of the ballot to fivon‘zen would not amount to much ; for none of them ivohld admit that they were old enough to vote until they were too old to take any interest in politics.

Previous to leaving Ottawa a number of thel l’ea'din’g members of the House were in- yitedio meet his Royal Highness at the Governor General’s. Among these were Mr. Sandfield McDonald and Mr. McKenzie. In the course of the even- ‘ ing Mr. McDonald addressed a remark to Mr. McKenzie in Gaelic, which the latter answered, and the Prince joining in, an animated conversation was kept up for some time, the Prince showing a thorough acquaintance with the lan- lguage, and giving evidence of being possessed of more than a mere super- ficial knowledge of it. This is another proof of the careful manner in which the royal family have been educated, and leads one to think With sorrow of the untimely death of Albert the Good, who in all the relations oflife sho’wc’d such noble qualities. It Would not be sur- prising that tho ‘frequentii'v’isits of the Queen and her household to Balmoral should have enabled the younger branch- es to pick up a smattering e'f Gaelic. The wonder would have been if they: had not. But, in the case of Prince Arthur at least, and I have no doubt the others had the same advantages, his A knowledge ismore than colloquial ; and with the thoroughness which we now characterized Prince Albert’s character, it is not difficult to believe that it was _ part of his system to have all the royal . children trained thoroughly in every ;~ branch [of education. \Vith such a 1 population as is subject to our Queen, . it is of no small importance that the r royal family should be able to speak in various tongues, and Gaelic in some : quarters of Canada is as much needed ' as anyâ€"Montreal Witness. We regret that it becomes our unplesant duty this morning to record the par- ticulars of an accident-“if it can be call- ed suchâ€"by which the well known Meaford hotel, owned and kept by Mr. John Paul, has been reduced to a heap of ashes. Between one and two o’clock on Tues. day morning, 15th inst; the alarm of} fire was raised; and it so happening: that the stages were late that eveningl a crowd rapidly gathered at the spot l and worked with a will either to stay the spread of the flu mes or save the fur. l niture in the burning f aildings. On i its first discovery the fire wasjust break. l ing out in the loft at the back part of the stables, but so rapid was its progress that before anything could be done to save what was in the building the whole was a mass of surging flame In the sta- ble onehorse, a cow, calf and two pigs were burned to death ; a: d another valu- able horse so badly scorched that it was thought necessary to shoot him. '1‘ he only thing in fact that escaped was a 'cow and it was a good deal singed. There lwere also lost here ‘2 sleighs, a cutter, buggy, waggon, 4 sets harness, over 20 tons of hay and 100 bushels of oats. Prince Arthur as a. Linguist. Very fortunately Mr. Dunn of Strut-l ford happened to be i: town exhibitingi one of Colley’s portable fire engines ; and l he and his companion, roused from their slumbers, were speedly on the spot, and getting their engine into Operation with- ‘ out a minute’s delay, heroically attempt. ed to save the hotel, but the place get- ting too hot and the fire catching at the rear, they were obliged to abandon I the effort, and turn their attention tel preventing the father spread of thel flames.- A small addition which con- nected the hotel wilh the old furniture shop was at once torn down, and by the heroic and determined perseverance of the firemen (if we may so style them ), ; who poured a steady stream of water upon the threatened building, the flames were confined to the main hotel. Their efforts were no doubt vaS‘ly faciliated by the extreme stillness of the night. SERIOUS FIRE AT MEAFORD. By the prompt exertions of the citi- zens most of the furniture was got out from the hotel almost without damage. A good deal of clothes and bedding, e., was destroyed, but in this respect Mr. Paul’s loss will be comparatively light. His insurance is thus distributed $1200 in the Provincial; $600 in the Western ; and $300 in the British Ame- rican. The total loss Mr. Paul does not venture to guess atâ€"we should think it perhaps three times the insur. ance.--â€"Meaford Monitor. DESTRUCTION OF PAUL’S HOTEL.
