When we are in trouble and lonesome, they don’t seem to come to us. \Ve go on the banks of the Jordan and call across to them but they don't seem to hear.

In the case of a soldier having met. death while serving in the war, his next of kin would be entitled to the grant upon proving the rela- tionship. Members of the volunteer militia in Canada who were actually .-n,guged in defensive services in 1866 would also be entitled to grants upon proof of service. The third clause of the bill provided that the land so granted should be free of all settle- ment duties, and provincial and muni- cipal taxes, except school rates. for ten years; but it the hand were dis- posed of by the original owner with- in that period, then it should bemade subject to the usual taxation. The fourth clause provided that in land so set apart no more than one loca- tion of 100 acres should be allowed to the square mile. This was to pre- vent large contiguous areas being locked up for ten. years without set- tie-mt. Nurses, chaplains. and Red Cross commissioners would also be entitled to the land grants on the same conditions. SMALL-POX CASES. (In reply to a query of Mr. Smith. Peel, Hon. J. R.

LAND GRANTS TO SOLDIERS. Hon. E. J. Davis moved the first reading of his bill respecting 160- acre land grants to soldiers. The first clause, he explained, authorized the Government to set apart lands for the purpose, either in the free grants district, or in those districts where a charge was now made for those taking up land. The second clans-2e indicated those entitled to reeeive the land grants. There must, be evidence that the person was on- rolled in Ontario for active service must be published every five years.
