The horse, thinking it might be late for service, started away at break-neck pace, but fortunately, before much damage was done, he was caught and securely stabled until the owner ar- rived to claim his property.

March 3lst.â€"-The Gerry- 'mander bill met in the Senate on .'l‘uesday the late which many think it deserves. The six months’ hoist. moved by Sir Mackenzie Bowell was 'carried hya vote of 41 to 19. the majority of 22 being exactly the same as that of last year. The attend- ance was larger than at last year’s vote, and the only change among 'those who were present at both divisions, was in the case of one Senator who last year voted for the bill but has. since thought better of it, and on Tuesday voted for the hoist. 'l‘he Senators do not appear to be much alarmed over the threats 6 that their chamber will be placed in Edanger if they oppose Government f hills. They have. however, only re- jected three measures of importance iin four sessions. while perhaps a l measure was finally passed the year ‘ after it was hoisted. and after it had ' been so changed that the country :SaVed at leaSt a million dollars by i the delay.

The Ram’s Horn has given him a most scathing exposure, and prints letters from former adherents who were in close touch with his business meth- ods and who repudiated him after having their eyes opened to the enor- mity of his wrongdoing and blas-p phemy. The former manager of hisi printing house is one of these. This' man charges Dowie with buying a summer house in Michigan for $10,000 a carriage and horse for $2500. and a sleigh costing $425. while he was owing his hands in the publish- ing house. He also charges him with falsehood. covetousness and trickery. The evidence of this maul and many others is given under oath, and the list of sins charged to this herculean fraud are manv in number.
