I was in love once with a fat girl}! She was very fleshy. She Was enormous. i But the course 0‘ my true love came to grief. i was sitting with her in the dim twilight one evening. I was sen- timental; I said many soft things, 3. embraced part of her. She frequent. ly turned her lovely need my from me. At last I thought I heard a mur- mur of voices on the other side. I arose and walked around, and there I found another fellow courting her on the other side. I was indignant, and nphraided her for her treachery in thus concealing from me another love. She laughed at my conceit, asif she were not big enough to have two lovers at onceâ€"Don :P'iatt. "I‘be Montreal Herald gives promin *ence to the following, for which, we pro same, it. has some authority :â€" “ We understand that the report re- specting Colonel \Volseley in connec- tion with the N orth-West Territory was so far ‘true that he is to besent to ’that *distracted part of the Dominion, not, however, we believe, by the 1m. perial, but by the Provincial Govern” ment. As we understand it he will 00- ‘ cupy a civil rather than a military post, that is, will be, we suppose virtually, whether nominally or not, the Lieu- tenant-Governor of the territory. His force will, moreover, we believe, be rather a constabulary than an army, although a few soldiers, probably some of the .Sixtieth Rifles, will accompany him. We believe that this appointment as a very judicious one. Colonel Wols- ch is not only agood and experienced soldier, but is also that which is pro- bably even more wanted at Red River, agentleman, and a man of sense and judgment, who will command the confi- dence of the people in the integrity of his assurances as well as convince them of the necessity of respecting legitimate authority.” On Sunday the Mattel“ cine, at Paxis,i1 was as usual throngcd with persons at. tending mass. One young woman was 1 particularly remarkable for the energy ' i with which she struck her breast while acknowledging her manifold sins and . wickedness in the usual words,“’1\lea cnlpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa l" i As this edit'ying young lady was leaving the church her foot caught in the skirt of her dress, and she had a fall.

The murder of Scott by Biel, and l 1 his rebel compatriots, has added much l to the general interest in North West»; ern affairs. The Globe‘s sympathy withl the elements of dieafieetion, for the pur- pose of obtaining a party political vie-‘ Etory over the Government, has borne itsi gappropriatc fruit, and the country has 'now to deal with men whose treason has 2 been aggravated by an act of deliberate murder. We remarked in a previous . issue, that the proceedings up to the ltime of Mr. McDougall’s return to Ca. i lnada, indicated not only a general un-l afitness, on the part of the settlers for self-government, but that it revealed, in ‘good time, the eleven feet under tbe§ 'tgarb of a Priest. If Mr. McDougall i l , had been permitted to enter, the treason might have smouldered [or a while to gblaze out at a more inconvenient time. 1 Better to have an open foe than a con- kcealed enemy. The murder of poor 1 Scott closes the door against further .l negotiation, and the simgle duty devolv- i ing upon the Government of Great :3, Britain is to establish its authority, and ' l to deal with the murderers according to The Hudson’s Bay oflieials, in thel territory, have evidently played into the hands of the semi-savage French half-brews, The Canadian Commis- sioners, DeSnlahetry and Thibeanlt, ap- pear to have been destitute of those qualities which fit men for the proper discharge of the duties .of Ambassadors. Donald Smithâ€"though reputed to be a shrewd Scotchman-«is but a subsidized ll udsou’s Bay oflieial, and Bishop Taehe, whose expenses from Rome to Red Riverâ€"and something moreâ€"has been paid by the Governnient of Canada, is prepared to absolve the faithful from the consequences of removingâ€"by violence -a heretic. Since the murder of Scott the Bishop has addressed the legislature of Winnipeg while Reil was in the chair. His speech, as reported in the THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1870. New N atzou, is remarkable chiefly for its J esu1t1c plausibility, and may be cited as confirmatory of a now very gen- erally accepted opinion that the darkest: deeds of villainy are attempted to be concealed under a saeerdotal petticoat. The Rubicon has been passed, and the time for trimming with the holy fathers of a venerable superstition has gone by. Many things, at present, indicate the ‘ near approach of a struggle between the secular and Spiritual powers that he. The present time brings its own respono sibilities, and we hope that the men in power will be found equal to the emer- ‘ gency. - While we have spoken plainly of the discordant elements which are to he found as permeating N orth- Western so. ciety, we think that some caution should be exercised in reference to those per- sons who are now being lionized as pa- triotic refugees. 1n fermentations of this kind dross often comes to the sur- face, therefore it would be worth while i to exercise a large measure of caution !| before exalting Dr. Schultz, Dr. Lynch, Mr. Mair or Mr. Setter to positions which they will be unable to maintain. We are far from entertaining any desire to injure these gentlemen in the estima- tion of the public by a voluntary pre- judgment, but we think that an ounce of judgment will be found to be of more value than a pound of bombast. “'e understand that arrangements have been made for conveying and pro- visioning troops, and that the Imperial Government is in perfect accord with that of the Dominion in reference to the mode of procedure, and that the united policy is one of action. We still hope that the expenses and the consea qucnt horrors of war will be obviated, and that the military force required in the territory will be such only as may be found to be necessary for the enforce- ment of the laws.

Last week a young ma‘l'ri‘éd woman in Oswego applied for a divorce ‘ and submitted that the precise grounds on which the motion for dissolution was , taken was that her husband and herself could not agree upon the feline subject. . She had a beautiful Maltese kitten to which the wretched man exhibited a rooted hatred by pitching it out of the window, even in the middle of the night. When remonstrated with he insultingly \told his wife that he married her, not her cat. On the last occasion she eu- deavored to save her pet from such cruelty, and retained her hold of the kitten while her husband had grasped the other half to heave it out of the chamber window. Womanlike she con- querered in the struggle, but the recoil of the kitten, when released from the brutal husband’s grasp, resulted in sev- j eral scratches across the face of its mis- ‘ tress, for which the brutal husband was r of course responsible. The court was . doubtful whether a case of deliberate _ and wanton assault had been made out, ' but, says the Oswego Commercial, ‘there 1 was certainly evidence of atrocious cun- , ning on the part of the husband in re- . linquishing his end of the kitten with- 3 out warning.” It will be seen by mammoth advero tisemeut in this issue, that Mr. J.

JOSEPH MCARDLE, Clerk. Fenian Raid. ST. PAUL, April 8. â€"TWelve "more Canadians have arrived. '1 hey left Fort Garry on the 13th of March, and have been on the road ever since. Among them are J. Coomhs, William F. Allen, Mrs. George Young, wife of Rev. Mr.- Young, who still remains in Fort Garry. Mrs. Schultz is still at the lower nettle- § ment in feeble health. Mr. Coombs says the hatrbreeda who] have been Biel’s tools are becoming; suspieious of him, and feared he would sell all the Hudson Bay Company’s properly and leave his friends in the lurch. Most. of the party started for Canada to-day. They denounce the shooting of Scott, and say there was no excuse nor glausihle pretext for the crime. The St. Paul Pioneer to day says we don’t consider the Red River Rebellion a success, because a few hundred half breeds participated in it, and the entire body of the population resides are op- posed to it. We should like to see an independent Republic in Red River, and better still, to see the vast Terri- tory annexed to the United States; but the bloody little despotic rule by Riell and his gang of plunderers, have deter- mined both results, for years repressed the tradeÂ¥and the prosperity of the coun- try. For the the present, and subservient to all law and order, it is better for ill concerned that he and hisgang of half- breed rufiians should be wiped out and peaceful times restored. Troops are likely soon to be there to restore order and law. The St. Paul Press justifies the shoot- ing of Scott, because he avowed his in- tention to take Riel‘s life, and had twice made war on a peaceful community, and believes the execution of Scott will be a pretext for the Canadian and military aid of England to assist them in estab- lishing military despotism over the sub- jects and people of Red River. The1 Press believes Canada appreciates the difficulties in the way, and has given up the notion that a Company of Canadian Rifles can put down. the half-breeds, and now calls for 2,000 men, besides Indian Auxiliaries, and, no doubt, Eng- land is preparing to send a force into the country. The Press predicts that lm, if it occurs, will not be all on one side, Arrival of the Papal Zouaves at Quebec. QUEBEC, April 7.â€"Rev.

Wolsley, arrived here last night to | confer, it is believed, with the Governor 1 General in the steps to be taken to re-1 store law and order at Red River. It is reported on good authority that Col. Wolsley will take command of any force {which it may be deemed necessary to send out to the North-West, The force will probably be made of regulars and Canadian volunteers and will proceed by the Fort William route. Public Opinion. in the House and out- side sustains the attitude taken by the Government on the question. No doubt is entertained that the action of the Government will he prompt and vigor- ous as soon as navigation opens, but leading members fully appreciate the reticence of the Government in view of the gravity of the situation and of the necessity of keeping its own counsels: until proper measures can he matured. The word of the Government is pledged to the reception of the delegates from Red River, who will represent certain claims of the resident population gener- ally conceded to be just and who do not come as emmissaries of Kiel but as representatives of the wishes of the peo- ple of the North-West. It is well understood that everything is being done by the Government to be ready to make a move at the: earliest moment and it is so confidently believed that the good sense of the people will counsel patience until an effective move- mentean he made. It is reported that the Finance Minister will bring down an extraordinary sapplementary estimate f inext week for the consideration of the ; House in conneetion with the measures Of the Government respecting the North-West. 001.- Taylor of London has arrived, along with Other Deputy- adjntant generals of districts, who have been called in to confer with the Gov. ernment. The Government Preparing. The Government are in full possession of all information relative to the threatened Fenian raid along the frontier and are prepared to meet any movement which may be made from any quarter. ' Col. De Salaberry, with Father mom and Scott, delegates from the Red River territOry, arrived this evening about. half-past 5 o’clock. They came via Odgdensbnrg and were met to Prescott by Mr. McMicken, stipendiary magistrate, who accompanied them to the capital. There were only a few other passengers on the train and no others besides the railway oficials and cahmen at the station. Father Richot at once proceeded to the Roman Oath. , olic bishop’s palace, on Sussex Street; not for from the station. and Scott to the Albion hotel. The former is a medium sized man with black hair and long black beard. He speaks a little English. Scott is low sized with reddish hair.

As our readers have learned, by the in- telligence we published exclusively last week, the Reeves and Deputy Reeves 0? townships interested in the extensién “of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway through the County to Owen Sound, met at Markle’s Hotel, Williamsford, on Thursday after. noon, '3lst 011;, on the invitation of the Warden, for the purpose of considering what Beeps should be taken to secure its con- 0‘" “yam.

Penman, - Reeve of Keppel 3 John Chisholm, Deputy Reeve of Owen Sound; James Beanie, Reeve of Sullivan 3 Hugh Ried and James Graham, Reeve and Deputy Reeve of Sydenham. 'The Warden having been called to the g chair, read a note from H. Wakefield, Esq., ‘ Reeve of Egremont, regretting his inability ] to be present, but stating that Egremont , would heartily assist in any scheme to bring , a railway through the County. The War. i den then proceeded to state the object at a the meeting, and suggested that the first 1 thing would be to agree on some gross 1 amount they would offer the Company; then endeavor to secure the consent of the Directors to construct the road for that J amount, and atterwards they could apportion the sum amongst the various municipalities. Normanby was the only township which now stood in the way, and refused to do anything. But according to the new act, upon a petition (f a majority of the Reeves of the townships interested, the County Council could submit a By-Law to the peo- ple of those townships to grant a bonus, and this would be the plan we would be compelled to adopt, as Normanby could be got in in no other way. It might be worth while considering also whether any other townships than those immediately on the line should be brought into this scheme.â€" Tbe Directors asked $400,000 from this County, but he thought they could be got to accept less, say $300,000. They. had already broken through their original claim, by agreeing to take $40,000 trom Egre- mont instead of $50,000. It was his Opin' , ion that the County was entitled to have 1 the benefit of a proportion of the Toronto ; _ bonus in reducing the amount originally asked from them ; but as they were aware, the Directors were applying it all on the first section, and their excuse was that they had to use the money in buying lands for stations, c., which Toronto was to have given in the first place. He thonght the defeat of the Egremont By-Law would give us a better chance of dealing with them, for bad they secured that, they would have probably have got as far in this ’ direction as they cared for coming. Mr. Ried asked if the Warden had re- ceived any answer from the Company to the proposition made at Durham to give $250,000. The Warden said he had not. Mr. Ried said there was a good deal of railway talk in Sydenham, and a requisition had been presented to him to call a meet- ing to offer a bonus for an extension of the Northern from Collingwood, but he had put it off till after this meeting, to see what would be done here. A gentleman in Sydenham had been corresponding with Mr. Laidlaw. who said the Company would build the road on the original terms, but it could not be done for less. He might mtntion that the peOple of Sydenham would prefer the Northern extension, and would give $10, 000 or $15 000 more for it, but he was determined to fulfil their obligations to the Narrow Gauge first, ere they turned their attention to any other scheme, and this was why he wished this meeting, that we might find out definitely what the To- ronto, Grey and Bruce company would do. Mr; McIntyre said he did not believe the ‘ Toronto peOple had any intention of bring- ing the road to Owen Sound. He had been talking with the President and Direc- tors several times during the past six weeks, and they had told him that when they got to Mount Forest, if they could succeed in extending westward, they did not care to come north. They insisted on getting $50,. 000 from Egremont, but the Council reso- lutely refused to submit a‘ B y-Law for that L amount, and they at last agreed to take i $40,000. Although the By-Law had been defeated, it must not be inferred that Egre- mont was opposed to the railway. It was defeated because of a misunderstanding as to where the money was to be expended. Some of the Council were willing that it should' be expended even below Arthur, but the Directors told him and others they would give a bond- as to where it would be expo nded. However, the peOple were not satisfied, and the By-Law was lost. The Company could not get the Arthur or Mount Forest bonuses until they extended to the ’ latter place, and they could not bring it : there till they got a bonus from Egremont. It was likely the By-Law would be submit l ted again after harvest, and would be ear- 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 Dr. McGregor Said he was pleased to see that Egremont‘ had refused to ratify that By- -Law, because it put us in a better posi tion to get the line further north, which would also suit that township better. If they will go in with us for a joint scheme, we will force Normanby to do her share, and as the Company cannot get the Arthur or Mount Forest bonuses till they extend ‘ to Mount Forest, we will have a good chance i of getting them to agree to on: proposition. Railway Convention. (From the 0. S. Times.) Mr. Chisholm said that. in talking with Mr. Wakefield, he said a good many in Egremont thought that at certain seasons oi the year a market to the noxth would be better than to the south, and they would like to see the line extended to Owen‘ Sound. He did not think the distribution? by a County scheme would be fair, as ,Owen Sound would he called on to pay male than any of the townships, but would not be as much benefitted; and others would also be taxed unequally in proportion to the benefit they would derive. The best plan would be to take it up by townships. ’ Mr. Hopkins said it was little use talk- ing about the amount individual muni- cipalities would give, as they would not get a cent out of Normanby in that shape; and if a County scheme, the townships would pay in proportion to their assess- ment. Let us decide on a gross amount to ofi'en. and then if the Directors accept it, the Warden might call a special meeting, . without waiting till July. Mr. Dickson said it would not be fair to ibring in Artemisia and Proton in such a gscheme. T6 put the matter in shape, he iwonld'mqvé that a bonus of 3300,0001): Mr. Lamprey asked would it not be well to bring in Artemiaia and Proton, which would also be benefitted ‘I trom Mount Forest to Owen Sound. Dr. McGregor seconded the motion. Mr. Graham said that the amount would be a heavy tax on the townships along the line; but Artemesi‘a, Proton and Euphrasia would be henefitted, though not to the same extent, and they should be brought into the scheme. No public im- 4 provement is of equal benefit to all. If we 1 ' could make it lighter to them, he ‘would do? ;so, but it would be unfair to make the ltewuships on the line to pay all, while others would also reap the benefit and pay nothing. This was the only scheme by which Normanby could be made to pay her share. Owen Sound and Sydenham, hav- ing the largest assessment, would have to pay the greatest share, and it would be very heavy on them if others were not brought in. He thought that the amount might be raised to $330,000, and it would Show the Company we were anxious for the road. Mr. Graham then went on to speak of the advantage a railway would he to the County. Mr. Hopkins did not see the necessity of giving them more than $300,000. That, with the bonuses from Arthur and Mount Forest would give them $6,000 a mile over the whole road to Arthur. he did not think the other townships should be brought in. If we could apportion the amounts amongst ourselves, it would be all right, but it would be unfair to them to compel themto pay in proportion to their assessment. We can carry'the scheme as it is, but if we brought in the others, we would encounter a good deal of opposition. Mr Dickson said 3300, 000 was a very liberal offer, and he would not amend it. â€" He would leave those other townships out. Dr. McGregor said $300,000 was a very 1 liberal offer, and he had no doubt would be accepted. It wonli make the bonuses within $5,000 of giving them $6,000 a mile the whole way to Arthur: Bruce only gives $250,000 for a broad gauge, and this Com- pany agreed to build two forks through Bruce for $300,000. They will accept it, more cepecially as it will put them in a po sition to get the Arthur and Mount Forest bonuses. Mr. Pettman said St. Vincent should be brought in the scheme, as it would be as much benefitted as Keppel. Mr; Linn said thatqto bring in other town-ships would endanger the whole scheme, but we could carry it. as it is. Mr. Reid said that the township he repre- sented was always willing to do its share, and even if it Was alittle more it would not stick at trifles; but if levied according to present equalized assessment Sydenham and Owen Sound would have to pay one-fourth of the whole amount. He had another scheme to propose :-â€"There were eight mn- nicipa-litxes along the line, leaving out Der- by. Let each give $30,000; Derby $20,- 000, Keppel and Sarawak $20,000, and $5,- 000 each from Artemesia, Proton, Euphra sis. and St. Vincent. "Mr. Dickson said the resolution did not state how the sum was to be distributed, and it. was useless discussing that at present. Mr. Reid said he Would {ote for ihe mo tiou, but on the disiinct understanding that it did not commit him as to the distri- bution of the amount. Mr. Penman said Keppel was now pay- ing tau-large amount for gravel roads from which she derived no benefit, and it would be unfair to ask them to pay as much in proportion for a railway as townships through which the road would run; 'â€"- vâ€"D The motion was then put and carried, with but one dissentient; Mr. Penman, althouoh 1n favor of making the offer, de- clined to commit himself till he knew ex- actly what. Keppel would be called upon to P3)“ The Reeves of Owen Sound, Bentinck and Holland were then appoicned a deputa- tion to proceed to Toronto and submit. the offer to the Directors, after which the meet- ing adjouyned.
