he liked to rest in the quiet shady little parlour, and enjoy a cup of tea, after his day\u2019s work was over, and listen to the monotonous and uninteresting chronicle of the day.It was a pleasure to empty his pockets of their miscellaneous contents-a paper or magazine for Edith, ill-matched worsted for Mrs.Wyat, drawing-pencils or water-colours for Dora, and frequently some housekeeping necessity for Alice, not procurable in Daletield.These self-imposed commissions were always executed with fidelity, and not unfre-quently\u2014forgetting Dora was a baby no longer\u2014a pocket of sugared almonds found their way into her work-basket.It was a pleasure to him to procure these trities, and gave an object to his visits to the Nest.He felt as if the three charming lady like girls and their sweet-tempered pretty mother in a sense belonged to him, and were, in a measure, under his care and protection; and suddenly, just as he became in a position to be of some really serious assistance to them, they slipped away out of his reach for ever\u2019.The suddenness of it took his breath away just at first, for the step was totally unexpected; and when he got over his first surprise, the pity of it grieved him.They were gone to meet troubles, difficulties, dangers, maybe, that in their ignorance and inexperience they never even dreamed of.Sorrow and disappointment, a rude awakening from their pleasant delusive dreams, was inevitable\u2014that he felt sure of ; but they would not be warned, and no one could help them.Doctor Pengelly knew the herculean task Edith had set herself to accomplish\u2014knew the obstacles that lay in her way; for he had essayed to travel the same thorny path himself, aud he felt how illsuited she was, in every sense of the word, to fight the battle.How would her pride hear the humiliation of repeated failure?How would her high spirit brook contemptuous silence or stern unsympathetic criti cism?Even from him she would not patiently listen to a word of censure or advice.How would she ever bear learning how little she really knew, in comparison with what she did not know?\u201cPoor Alice?on her shoulders will fall all the care and anxiety,\u201d he said aloud.\u201c Edith won\u2019t think, her mother can\u2019t, and Alice will wear he life out, plotting and planning how to make both ends meet.\" Dora he never thought of ; she was to him but a child, very amiable and pretty, with the promise of being very lovely woman some day, hut still only a mere child, and in no way fitted to take a share in the battle of life.They would all have to depend on Alice, and she was the least considered of an}\u2019 in the whole scheme.Already the garden had, or appeared to have forsaken aspect, the pretty ferns and geraniums were gone from the window sills, all was silent and solitary, and as the Doctor glanced at the old walnut-tree with its empty bench, a feeling of something like anger rose up in her heart, against Edith.It was all her own fault.\u201cIt was her folly, her inexperience and her vanity\u2014yes, her vanity\u201d\u2014the doctor repeated the word aloud, with angry emphasis -that broke up that pleasant little home where he had spent some of the happiest hours of his life.\u201cAnd now,\u201d he continued, musing aloud, \u201c1 dare say she thinks I\u2019ll follow her\u2014and 1 suppose 1 must though 1 don\u2019t see why 1 should.1 don\u2019t know that I\u2019d be justified in giving up my practice here, after years of hard work, just because of a woman\u2019s caprice.Besides, it\u2019s just possible they might all resent my following them.If Edith really cared aliout me, she would have stayed\u2014that is, if she cared enough.Even if I follow her now, the result will he the same, while, if 1 remain here, there will always be a home at the Brown House for all of them.Perhaps Edie may come back when she has bought her experience, and learns that London is full of clever people scrambling for a limited number of fortune».I\u2019m glad now I did not say anything to Weston about buying the practice.I have made it what it is.and 1 ought to have the benefit of it.I ll be a man, and wait; Edie will return some day, and 1 11 love her none the less for her failure.Hallo! Jimmy, are you coming.too, to have a look at the empty Nest ?\u201d \u201cAy, Felix, and a sad sight it is !\u201d Jimmy Dodd said, joining the Doctor, leaning like him on the closed gate.\u201c When I think of the smiling faces that always met us, and the pleasant hearty words of welcome that greeted us, l feel so lonesome like that I don\u2019t know what to do.It was a dark day.Doctor, when our pretty birds took wing.\u201d \u201cBut it will be a bright one when they fiy back to the old house, Jimmy.Do you know,I\u2019d like to take theNest.have it ready for them; for I\u2019m certain they\u2019ll return to Daletield some day.\u201d \u201cM iss Edith, may be, will return, and it s to the Brown House she\u2019ll go,\u201d Jimmy replied.\u201cBut you can\u2019t have the Nest, Doctor, for I\u2019ve got it, and I mean to stick to it, whether they coiuo or not there,\u201d he added triumphantly.\u201d \u201cYou ! why should you take the Nest, Jimmy?what possible interest of that sort can you have in the ladies?\" \u201cBecause they all loved the place, and 1 loved them all,'' Jimmy replied, blushing furiously.\u201cI couldn\u2019t bear to think of any common person living in their home, sitting under that tree, or working in the garden they tended so often.They were always good to me, ever since 1 was a child, and though l could not do anything to show it while they were here, it'll be a kind of comfort to me to keep the place sacred to them, now they re gone; that\u2019s the only reason Felix.\u2019 \u201cOh! you should have shown what you felt a little more plainly, Jimmy,\u201d the Doctor said, dryly.\u201cIt would he of no matter of use, Felix; they all think me only a rough ungainly farmer.Why, bless you ! not one of the ladies would e ver give me a second thought, so what was the good fidgetin\u2019 them with my feolin\u2019s ' 1 can\u2019t talk fine, Doctor, or express what 1 think without getting confused, and hot and cold all over; hut 1 tell you 1 love the ladies one and all, and no one shall ever have the Nest while 1 live\u2014that\u2019s all about it.\u201d \u201cThey have a true friend in you, Jimmy,\u201d the Doctor said, quietly.\u201cNow will you come and spend the evenings with me! 1 feel dull and lonely.Now that the Nest is empty we must find some way of passing the time.What can we do, Jimmy, to make Daletield tolerable without our friends?\u201d I dunno, Felix; you\u2019ll find plenty more friends, and you have your work.As for me, 1 have my work cut out too, and 1 mean to tackle it.M\u2019hap pen it\u2019ll he collar work for a while, but what of that?I\u2019m strong enough and patient too, and 1 want you t< help me, Felix, if you w ill ! \u2019 \u201c With pleasure; hut I\u2019m not much >f a farmer, Jimmy !\u201d \u201c Nay, you\u2019re not, hut you\u2019re a hoot scholar.Now I want to learn a lot ol things out of books, and want you t< lend me some?\u201d \u201c Well, 1 am surprised !\u201d the Doc tor exclaimed,looking at his companion with a smile, that vanished when In saw how grave and earnest Jimmy\u2019 face was.\u201c W hat sort of hooks d you want?\u201d he asked, after a moment\u2019s so useful,\u201d he answered, seriously \u201c I have a notion in my head that\u2019s foolish perhaps, hut I mean to carry it out.and I\u2019ll have to learn chemistry and geology first.\u201d \u201cThen, my dear fellow, all 1 can say is, you have your work cut out ; hut I \u2019ll be delighted to help you in any way.Come down to the Brown House for an hour in the evening once or twice a week; and by the way, 1 see nothing to hinder us from beginning at once; it will lie something to occupy us.\u201d \u201cThank you, Felix ; you\u2019re very kind; hut I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll find me very dull and s\tStill, if it won\u2019t tire you and bother you, I\u2019ll come.\u201d \u201cIt will give me real pleasure to he of service to you, Jimmy, hut 1 think perhaps, if 1 knew what your idea was 1 might be able t«i help you more effectually.\u201d \u201cI think not, Felix ; and besides, my notion's only half a notion yet 1 must test it before 1 tell it to anyone; but, believe me, you\u2019ll know first of all.You\u2019ll lie the first to give me joy if I\u2019m right.\u201d \u201c Come along, then, and let us begin at once,\u201d the Doctor said, leading the way into the study, for by this time they had reached the Brown House.\u201c 1 wonder what in the world Edith would say if she saw me teaching chemistry to Jimmy Dodd ?\" \u201cAnd what would Miss Alice say if she saw me learning, I wonder !\u201d Jimmy reflected, aud the mere thought brought a sudden colour to his face, for it was entirely for her sake he was undertaking such a tremendous piece of work, books» being in his eyes the most terrible things in the world.V.CHAPTER EDITH MAKES A BEGIN VINO.\u201c Well, darling, how are you getting on ?\u201d \u201c Famously, mother; l shall have this chapter finished before Dora and Allie come in,\u201d Edith Wyat replied, w ithout glancing up from the sheet of MS.before her, and there was no sound in the little sitting-room save the scratch of her i>en as it fiew over the paper.It was a dismal, poky, oppressive little room on that sultry August morning, hot and stifling without sunshine, and Mrs.Wyat, sitting by the open window, looked weary and languid ; she had laid down her kitting and watched Edith with half-closed eyes till she grew sad, and the teal\u2019s stole down her cheeks, for her darling was working herself to death \u2014that was very evident.They had been two months in London, and after infinite patience and trouble they had found tolerably cheap lodgings in Weston Street.It was a dull quiet cnl-Je-sac, opening oft a crescent with a finer-sounding name, and on the very outer fringe of several dull, quiet, respeetalde squares.A huge gloomy church seemed to block up one end of Weston Street; the back part of a piano manufactory blocked the other.The houses were uniformly dingy and shabby, but here and there on a second-floor window, or on the little iron balconies adorning the first floor, a few flowers bloomed \u2014bright blue lobelias, scarlet geraniums, and calceolarias- -they gave a ray of life and comfort to the otherwise cheerless prospect.It was intensely quiet in the street, and Edith was making the most of it, for after four o\u2019clock, when the children left school, the noise would become intolerable.For children flourished exceedingly in Weston Street.Every house possessed from a dozen to a score, and on the sultry summer evenings they all turned into the street to play.There was really nowhere else for them, and their noise was simply deafening.Then Edith, distracted and despairing, retired to the l>edrooni that she shared with her mother at the back of the sitting nx ni, and tried to draw inspiration from discolored chimney pots, while I>ora and Alice worked on unmindful of tlie shrill cries and discordant howls of the children.They did not like Weston Street, my of them, and the fact of having a mechanic, who came home disagreeably inebriated every night, for a fel-low-lodger, made matters harder to bear, but repeated excursions in search f better quarters convinced Alice that they might go much further and fare much worse.The landlady was a piiet resetved^terson, who kept a good deal to her own premises, and never interfered with her lodgers, so long as they paid their rent regularly.She had a profound, though unexpressed, contempt for folks who waited on themselves, lived on sausasgc rolls aud such, and drank no beer; but, on the ther hand, she fully reognised that the ladies in the drawing-rooms were ladies, and paid their waj , aud as such she valued them.But Mrs.Bolton knew there was nothing to be made out of them, so she let them severely alone ; and Alice knew that for lanidon the tvoms were cheap, the position very central\u2014a quarter of an hour\u2019s walk for Edie, not very much farther to Oxford Street, and quite close to a musical academy where Dorn was taking singing lessons with a view to an \u2018engagement.\u2019 They had been two months in Weston Street, and as yet no complaint, reproach or regret had passed any of their lips.And yet it had been a terrible disappointment to them all, even to Allie, who hail feared the woist.Daletield had been dull, narrow and lonely, but nothing in comparison ^to the utter dullness and solitude of London, w ith-its millions of human beings, its never-ceasing activity, its joys and sorrows, its luxuries and miseries.There is nothing in the whole world so terrible as the solitude of a vast crowd, and the girls felt it, especially when they went for a walk, glanced at the unceasing ebb and flow of faces, and found that they were all strange.People stared at them sometimes, lor there was something t hat distinguished them still, even amid the multitude of passers-by.They brought with them Home frc«li glimiiies swi-et Of the brightnesa ami brasses of yore, hut it was the stare of rude curiosity and privileged unrecognition, and the girls' pride resented it; it made them hate, and Dora, who was coutitutiou-ally shy, almost dread to go fora walk.Every day brought some fresh mortification.They found that life was as petty and sordid, people as selfish, prejudiced, and narrow minded in the very heart of London as in the remote village of Daletield; hut they never complained, and Alice cheered and encouraged Edith in all her efforts.As yet they had not been very successful.She had advertised repeatedly for pupils, but without any result.No young children seemed to require instruction in French, German, drawing, and music on moderate terms.She had Ixmght a paper, copied the addresses of several of the leading magazines, and sent off a perfect ava lanche of short stories and essays.As yet she had not heard a single word alxiut them.She declared she was not in the least disappointed, as it was proverbial that editors bsik a long time to consider manuscripts, but that assertion was\t\" contradicted by her sudden start when she heard the postman\u2019s knock, her strained eager expression, and the irrepressible sigh that e»cai»ed her when he passed on.She was waiting impatiently, fretting and wearing her very heart with suspense and anxiety; hut Edith was brave enough in some respecta, and give no sign.Alice and Dora, who felt all her trouble even more than she did, conspired in many a harmless little plan to keep up her spirits and when she read them a chapter from the manuscript she was working so hard at, lsit.li honestly assured her that it was the most beautiful story they had ever read, and would undoubtedly make her fortune.They were very loving and tender, thoughtful and |>atient, and if j>oor Alice sometimes awoke with a start., and lay for hours think ing how fast the money Jimmy Dodd had sent them was vanishing, and how little prosjiect there was of replacing it, she worried no one but herself alxnit those domestic cares and anxieties.Even Dora, who shared her tiny closet, called by courtesy a dressing-room, knew nothing of Allie\u2019s nightly vigils, and thouhgt it was missing the air of the moors and mountains made her cheek so pale and her eyes so dull and heavy.Dora, of all the family, keept her l.H>ks the best.She was naturally of a happy disposition, though painfully shy, and for several reasons she had been glad to leave Daletield.They had praised her singing very much at.the academy, and said that as soon as she gained a little more confidence tlie}- would certainly be able to procure her an engagement as a drawing-room performer.She had an exquisitely pure sweet voice, and played with wonderful accuracy and expression for a girl who hail only received a lioard-ing-school education.Besides, Dora had a secret reason of her own for taking a more cheerful view of life than she had done for some time before she left Daletield, and she enjoyed lieing in London.Often, after practicing for two hours in the early morning, she would jieisuade her mother to accompany her for a walk to \\\\ estminster Abbey, or the National Gallery, and there they would spend several hours of puie unmixed enjoyment ; while Edith went on energetically with her book, and Alice tidied up the rooms and prepared their frugal dinner.They lived very simply and economically, but in spite of all their care the little reserve fund was dwindling down, and their income would do no more than j>ay their rent, and jierhaps find them in actual bread.But one night, at the end of August \u2014-a sultry depressing night that followed a warm thundry day\u2014the postman gave a very agressive hang at the door, and Mrs.Bolton brought up a letter for Miss Edith Wyat.It was opened with trembling fingers, and when she had glanced at it, Edith uttered a glati little cry.\u201c I told you, mother\u20141 j told you, Alice !\u2019\u2019 she exclaimed, \u201cmy very first story accepted ! think of it ! j And when they all read the letter,only a printed circular containing a few ; lines, and laughed, and cried, and j kissed each other, and laughed again, | and felt more proud, elated and happy j than the fortunate historian who re- I ceived a check for twenty thousand unds for one volume.Hope, that ad been stealing shamefacedly towards the door, returned triumphantly, and took her place in their midst again; and for that night at least they were happy, \u2019ind Edith was already famous.If that one little story, the simplest, and as she thoughtthe worst of all her ventures, were accepted, what might she not hope from the others?For hours she sat by the window, talking in her soft rich voice of what they would all do when she made their fortune.She would have a house somewhere overlooking the park, ane of those roomy stately mansions with wide walls and low staircases, lofty rooms and windows.She would have luxurious chairs and caqM\u2019ts, soft and easy, shaded lights, the subtile colour and odor of flowers everywhere; and her rooms would I>e crowded with brilliant fashionable people, clever authors and painters, musicians and scientific men; and they would all he so happy together.Life would then la* worth living, and the years they spent in Daletield but a dull dream.Far into the night they sat, with the light of the street lamp shining in on them, listening to Edith s golden dreams, and fora moment almost si*e-ing the visions, and hoping the results she saw and Inqicd for, and when at fell asleep her dreams were that one glorious word.she last still of Suivons Tt> FACTS, FIGURES and FICTION.National Rills are sugar coated, mild

hold the Canadian fisheries is the mixed sort of advice we are receiving from the other side of the Atlantic.Probably Tennyson didn\u2019t count in Canadians, but we intend to hold our own for all that.The increase of the (îrand Trunk receipts to the extent of about ten per cent, this year over that of last is a very satisfactory evidence of a revival of trade.We notice that the passenger receipts as well as the freights are now greater than those of the corresponding period of last year.Our readers will learn with regret of the sudden death in New York on Wednesday of the Hon.L.S.Huntington, from an acute attack of bronchitis.Few abler men have gone from these townships as our representatives in parliament than the deceased statesman.In another column we give a brief sketch of his life and career.It is to be hoped in the interest of commercial morality that the rumor that the Government has compromised the case which has received much publicity against a member of a wholesale firm in Montreal for defrauding the customs is not correct.One of the advocates representing the Government is reported to have declared that the case in question was a worse one than the McLachlan case and any action on the part of the Government such as rumored would consequently be the compounding of a felony.The street car men of Toronto, wh are on strike, are receiving much pub lie sympathy and support on account of the way in which they are carrying on the' struggle.Instead of rioting and destroying the property of the company they have put on the streets lot of busses and are running in opposition to it, an! they will soon find out in this way whether or not the business is profitable enough to grant them the concessions they demanded before the present issue arose.We have often thought if workmen were to change positions with their employers for awhile, were engaged for a few months skirmishing about to collect overdue accounts to pay wages with and keep bankers in good humor, they would not be so unreasonable in many of their demands.Like the farmer who changed work for awhile with his wife, the laborer who had become an employer would in many cases, no doubt, pine to get back to his old work where he was sure of a stated salary and a prospect of getting sound sleep every night in the year.The leading cartoon in the last num-l»er of Gi ip representing the \u201cGovernment shouldering the \u2018boy\u2019 \u201d is a correct conception of the questionable transaction recently condoned by the Government.The member for Toronto West, standing on the shoulders of the leaders of the Government, is depicted as an auctioneer, and a whitewash brush carried by a well known political character in a hamper labelled \u201cPrince Albert Colonization C Mean dal,\u201d appears in the back-ground, while gazing on in amazement is the shade of Boss Tweed who says : \u201cAnd New York killed me for just such po Ucs.\u201d New York is trying to rid itself of other Tweeds to-day, but the task is like that of cleaning the Agean stables.Corruption in politics has there taken deep root, for the people were too tardy in beginning the now Herculean task in which they are engaged.The people of Canada, we are afraid, from present indications have a similar task before them.Political corruption is a thrifty-plant when left undisturbed ; its roots grow deep and are far-reaching, and what might have been swept away at first by a breath of public opinion will eventually be deep-seated enough to resist a tornado.We sincerely hope that our legislators are not so bad as they have declared themselves to be by their endorsation of the Beatty affair, but unfortunately the scandals developing day after day afford little ground for such a hope.Mr.Parnell in the British House of Commons has declared positively that he will accept Mr.Gladstone\u2019s measure as a settlement of the Irish question, and this declaration will, no doubt, assist in removing a strong argument against the granting of Home Rule to Ireland.The opponents of the measure are, however straining every nerve to defeat it, and appear to be particularly successful in manufacturing expressions of public opinion against it.In Belfast in addition to the warlike declarations of Mr.Johnston, of Ballykilbe, we notice that advertisements have been inserted in the Belfast papers asking for tenders for twenty thousand Enfield rifles, which should create the impression that the adoption of the Home Rule measure will meet with armed opposition in the North of Ireland.The statement also made a few weeks ago to the British _ \u2019 \" e that there are a hundred thousand Orangemen in Canada willing to take part in the proposed armed resistance would also be apt to create a panic m the ranks of the Home Rulers, were there any foundation, in fact, for such a declara- tion.The G.O.M.is, however, not easily frightened, but moves on in the even tenor of his ways.It is sufficient for him to know that he is doing an act of justice for Ireland and he will not swerve from his object.He knows too well the fickleness of public opinion to do violation to his own matured judgment.Only yesterday execrated by theHomeRule party, to-day he is proclaimed by the same party \u201cIreland\u2019s Redeemer.\u201d That effer' vescing public opinion which can be created almost at a moment\u2019s notice, more particularly where there is a \u201cgood working committee,\u201d is not likely, therefore, to count for much with Mr.Gladstone.The case of the Dominion Government in the seizure of the \u201cDavid J.Adams\u201d appears to be a strong one,and the American papers are weakening in their protests against our Government\u2019s action.Neither is it at all probable that the retaliatory policy advocated will be adopted by the Americans.Under any circumstances the course of the Dominion authorities in this matter will be generally approved of by Canadians, irrespective of party.The Government has the people at its back in resisting these attempted encroachments upor our territory.The people of the Chaudière Valley and Lake Megantic are anxious to have the Quebec Central Railway branch extended down the valley to Lake Megantic, in which ci£o that line would connect there with the Canada Pacific, and a deputation which went to Quebec recently to sound the people of the Ancient City in regard to the project report a decided preference among the business men of Quebec to a junction being effected at the Lake as compared with the project to connect with the Canadian Pacific at Moose River in Maine, and very naturally Quebec, by the extension of the road to Lake Megantic will build up considerable local trade, which would not be the case were it extended into Maine, as trade there would be largely cut off by the American tariff.Of course the route from Quebec to St.Johns would be somewhat lengthened but that from Quebec to Portland will be decreased when the Franklin and Megantic railway project is carried through.Our contemporary Le Pionnier says the movement seems to have been \u201c regarded favorably by the prominent politicians of the two capitals,\u201d and there is scarcely a doubt but that the usual Dominion Government grant would be given the Quebec Central to extend the road to the boundary line near the lake, while any grant special to the Company with the object of making the junction in Maine would be highly objectionable for very7 apparent reasons.What is wanted, however, is for those who are agitating this matter to present something definite to the Quebec Central Railway Company authorities, and that very-soon.It is understood that a letter has been received from Senator Stubbs of Maine, the President of the Franklin and Megantic, expressing a willingness to etlect a junction with the Quebec Central at the boundary line near the lake, and that offers of right of way, etc., are being received from large real estate owners in the Chaudière Valley.Substantial inducements of this kind will no doubt have some influence with the Quebec Central people to adopt the all Canadian route in effecting the junction.Death of Hon.L.S.Huntington.A DISTISariSHED MAX OOXK\u2014HIS DEATH IX NEW YORK\u2014SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.A private telegram received on Wednesday in Montreal conveyed the sad intelligence of the sudden death of the Hon.Lucius Seth Huntington, Q.C., ex-member for Shetford, and Postmaster-Geneial under the Mackenzie administration.The deceased gentleman, about four years ago, retired from active politics in Canada, brought about by his defeat in the county which he had so long represented by Mr.M.Auger, who came forward as an independent Liberal.He then removed to NewjYork, where he has resided ever since, devoting himself to literature.Mr.Huntington was descended from a New England family who originally came to America at the time of the \u201cMayflower\u201d and participated in all the vicissitudes of that time.No Xtw England family has more distinguished itself in the church, the field and the senate.His grandfather, a U.S Loy alist, removed to Canada and settled at Compton toward the close of the last century.Me was eldest son of the late Seth Huntington, of Waterville, Que., and w;is born at Compton in May, 1827.He was twice married, his first wife being a daughter of the late Major David Wood, of Shetford, by whom he had three sons, none of whom survive their father.In 1«77 he married in New York Mrs.Marsh, the widow of a well know civil engineer of that name, by whom he had one son.Mr.Huntington was called to the Bar of this province in 1853, and was created a Queen\u2019s Counsel in 1863.For years he practised along with the Hon.Mr.Laflamme, Q.C., and built up one of.the most lucrative practices in Montreal.He was a member of the Executive Council of Canada, and Solicitor-General of Lower Canada from May, 1863, to March, 1864, when the Sandfield-Macdor.aid - Dorion Cabinet resigned.In 1874 he was sworn in a Privy Councillor, and remained as President of that body until 1875, when he was appointed postmaster general, a position which he held until the fall of the Mackenzie Administration in 1878.During the absence of Mr.Mackenzie in England he acted as Minister of Public Works.He contested Shetford in I860, and was reelected in 1867, 1872 and 1874, representing the county uninterruptedly until 1882, when he was defeated as above stilted.The deceased was an out-and-out uncompromising Reformer.He had many political enemies and just as many friends.His famous libel suTtagainst the Montrel Gozette, which is still pending in connection with the Huntington copper mines, showed how-bitter were some of his political battles.He was known as the father of the Pacific Scandal, and is credited with having unearthed the famous correspondence from the office of Hon.J.J.C.Ablmtt, Q.C., through the medium of his private stenographer Norris.He had been ailing for some time in New-York, but his friends had no idea that his end was so near.His wife and son survive him.A meeting of the Bar of Montreal district will be called to take action and pass the usual resolutions of condolence and respect.A telegram from Mr.Palmer Brown, one of the deceased\u2019s warmest friends, to Hon.Mr.Laflamme, states that death resulted from bronchitis.Mr.Huntington had long been a martyr to this complaint which at times oppressed him very acutely.As late as last week a M< \u2022ntrealer who saw him in New York was surprised at his changed appearance.The attack which carried him off w-as unusually acute and rapid in its course.The same despatch says that Mrs.Huntington and her brother, accompanying the body, will leave New York on Friday morning for Montreal, the funeral to take place on Saturday.The Montreal TIerahl says the news that the Hon.Lucius Seth Huntington was dead, excited surprise and sorrow in that city yesterday.Mr.Hunting-ton was not by any means an old man, it was not known that he was afflicted with any dangerous disease, and he was much liked for his genial, open nature and his many social virtues.It was impossible to know Mr.Hunting-ton well and not to like him, and he was well know in Montreal where he had lived many years.He took an active part in politics, and at one time he considered it his duty to act in a way that rendered him peculiarly obnoxious to many powerful political opponents, but he had outlived nearly all political dislikes and ho was kindly remembered in his native land and highly esteemed for his many good qualities.Mr.Huntington was an honest, a manly and a courageous opponent.He never, pretended to be other than he was.He hit hard and took the blows dealt in return without wincing.To his friends he was as generous as the day and as true as steel.He was a man to be depended upon in the day of trial.His undaunted bearing and the clarion tones of his splendid voice are remembered with admiration and pleasure by all who ever heard him on the platform or in the Chamber of the House of Commons.A FEARFUL STORM IN OHIO.Cottages carried away with all THEIR INMATES \u2014 DREADFUL DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.Dayton, Ohio, May J3.\u2014Dayton is isolated, no trains or mails have

Megantic, May 19th.It is blowing \u201cbig guns\u201d as 1 write.Rough old Boreas is making the waters of Lake Megantic curl and roll in mere wantonness and he has been doing it right along for the last three days.I was surprised to see the \u201cpostmaster general\u201d of the Sherbrooke parliament the other day at Lake Megantic village.I had seen his name \u201cgazetted\u201d in the Examiner and didn\u2019t know but he might have gone into some land or railway scheme in the North West, but instead of that he is back in his old haunts, bearing his portfolio with the same indifference he would a sack of potatoes.Malcolm thou art w'elcome back.\u201cMariar,\u201d said a Lake Megantic man who had just returned from a ten days trip in the woods where he had been trapping muskrats ;

East Clifton.An adjourned session of the Council of the Municipality was held on Saturday the 15th inst., all the members of the Council present.After the regular routine business of the session w as transacted, the report of the special auditors was read and considered as follows, to wit : To the Mayor and Municipal Council of East Clifton.Gentlemen:\u2014We the undersigned having been appointed to audit the accounts of your Secretary-Treasurer since the separation of your municipality from West Clifton, beg to report that we have spent the gieater part of two days in examination of the same.We beg to submit a statement which shows amount raised for general purposes 84,325.32; amount raised for railroad purposes 84,645.00, which has been all accounted for but 84.55.We beg to remark that about 8770 which was intended for railroad purposes appears to be diverted from that use and spent for roads, legal expenses and general purposes.We find also that the Secretary-Treasurer made three small errors, the balance of which 89.50, is in his favour and which he should now charge against the municipality.YVe are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, E.S.Orr, 1 .L.W.French, j Audltor8\u2019 East Clifton, March 27th, 1886.Halifax, N.S., May 17\u2014Despatches from Baddeck announce the seizure at St.Anne\u2019s, C.B., 20 miles from that place and between Cape North and Sydney, just at the mouth of Bras d\u2019Or lakes, of the Gloucester schooner the \u201cElla M.Doughty.\u201d Captain YV arren Doughty.It appears that she arrived off that coast on the 11th, secured twenty barrels of bait and put to sea, but was driven back by large quantities of ice on that coast, and putting into St.Anne\u2019s to-day was formally seized by Sub-Collector Campbell, (1) for not reporting and entering at the Customs House and (2) for purchasing bait.Captain Doughty claims that he had a permit from the collector at Portland, Me., to trade and had a perfect right to buy bait.This second seizure, coming so soon after the seizure of the \u201cAdams,\u201d has created a big sensation in the city.Consul-General Phelan will leave immediately for the scene of the seizure.The two schooners now fitting out at this port will proceed to sea immediately.Despatches from the Strait of Canso say that several American fishermen are reported to be in the Bras d\u2019Or lakes buying bait and supplies, and others are hovering around the Cape Breton Coast.The captains say that themselves and crews are fishing on shares, that they cannot fish without bait, and that they will run any risk to get bait, as in case they are captured the loss of the vessel will fail solely on the owners, while if they get bait and escape both owners and the crew wil mutually profit.FURTHER DETAILS OF THE SEIZURE.Halifax, N.S., May 18.\u2014Later particulars of the seizure of the schoone \u201cDoughty\u201d at St.Anne\u2019s show that she belonged to Portland, Me.Captain Doughty, in his statement, says he put into North Sydney, but the Collector of Customs there would not recognize the permit given him by tin collector at Portland, and authorzing him to enter Canadian ports, trade and makes purchases of bait, etc.He then went up along the coast, entered St.Anne\u2019s harbor, which is one of the oldest settlements of Cape Breton, on the 11th, and on the 13th purchased twenty barrels of bait, as he had a right to do under his permit.Next day, the 14th, he sailed, but was forced back to port again by the ice, and to-day was seized.He telegraphed the facts to his owners at Portland.The collectors of customs are keeping a sharp look out on the movements of the American fishermen \u201c James A.Garfield \u201d and \u201c Edward Trevoy \u201d who are seeking bait in Cape Breton waters.The collectors of customs are exhibiting great energy, far more so than the authorities in Halifax.Twi cruisers have been lying in this harbor for several weeks, but neither of them have their stores or guns on board.Their crews have not even been shipped.A captain has only been appointed for one of them, that is Capt.Lorway, of Sydney, to the schoonei \u201c L.H.Hewlett.\u201d Consul-General Phelan was waiting in the telegram office at midnight for the latest particulars of the seizure.He says that the seizure of the \u201c Doughty \u201d will settle the question of the value of the permits granted by American collectors to American fishermen to trade in Canadian ports.These, he says, are issued by virtue of a convention between the United States and Great Britain subsequent to the treaty of 1818, and he feels confident that the Canadians are wrong on this point, and that they will he over-ruled by the action of Great Britain.BY JOHN J.GRIFFITH.AÏ

in connection with a thorough examination of the accounts of the municipality and the voucher for monies paid by him during the last twelve years ; and whereas reports have been freely ciiv eulated of a damaging nature against his character and integrity; and whereas the showing up as appears by the report of the auditors, Messrs E.S.Orr and L.W.French, is entirely satisfactory to this Council, that a copy of the report adopted and of this resolution be sent to the Sherbrooke papers for publications.This motion was seconded by Councillor Bailey,and passed without opposition.Customs Regulations.It has been argued that honest traders have no cause to fear unde the present despotic and reprehensible Customs regulations.We take exce) tion to this, and maintain that it is the honest trader who has the most to apprehend from the present loose working of our Customs laws, as he has no guarantee that full justice is ever meted out to the men who are caught, jlnyra ate delicto, in cheating the revenue, that part of the business being frequently settled by the parties who have a one-third interest in th divisions of spoils.Again, the almost unlimited power delegated to special agents, is dangerous, and a standing menace to the interests of honest traders, as it can easily be abused by shielding favorites, In brief, our Customs spies, or special agents, are endowed with

Arrested\u2014He Escapes.Last week we mentioned the burglary at the Post Office, Island Brook.L iter developments seemed to warrant the arrest of a man named Alfred H rvey formerly of Leeds, on a charge of being implicated in the matter.He was seen to entera saw mill, Saturday, on learning of his intended arrest and a second search the same day, revealed a new pocket-book containing $66 in m >ney.It is said as he was passing the mill a woman told him the bailiff was going to arrest him, and he instantly turned and went in to the mill and came out again in a moment and went on to the store where he was taken into custody by Walter Nutt, benlitf assisted by John L.Wilford, and afterwards searched, but nothing was found upon* him except a new watch and ring and !)5c.in money.High constable Moe arriving took him in chatve and started for Sherbrooke, the prisoner being handcuffed.Harvey pretended to be very sleeping after leaving Birchton and appeared to require occasional rousing.When near the watering trough on the Lennoxville road he evidently had decided to effect an escape and suddenly allowed the umbrella he was carring, the night being dark and rainy, to fall out of his hands to the road.The high constable turned his team around and tried to pick up the umbrella without getting out, but the horse shying he jumped out and went for the umbrella, Harvey at the same time jumping out the other side and started over the fence down to the G.T.R.track, dropping down the face of the rock cutting a perpendicular distance of 15 or 20 feet.The high constable gave chase after securing his horse, tiring two shots at the lees of the fast retreating prisoner but evidently without effect.He then aroused Mr.Alex Ames for assistance and continued the search but the flying culprit had got away in the darkness, and is no doubt now treasuring his iron bracelets as souvenirs of remembrance of his near incareeation in jail We learn from Mr.Wilford that about $200 iu cash was secured 0y the burglars $70 as stated, being from a registered letter addressed to the British American Land Company of this city.IlF.-( AITVRKl).The above prisoner was re-captured Tuesday night by Mr.Fred.Wilford aided by his uncle Mr.John Wilford, between one and two o\u2019cloc k.They concluded he would return for the wallet he had left in the mill as he was without money, and as events proved they were correct in their surmise, ami they therefore went down to the mill and watched.Shortly after one o\u2019clock they saw a man crossing the bridge and turn as if to go in to the mill but seeing the Messrs Wilford turned back.Young Wilford followed and when near the eliun h saw a man standing in the road (the night being bright moonlight) and as soon as he saw Mr.Wilford approaching turned and jumping over the fence ran swiftly across a field, but Ids pursuer was Meet of foot and kept him well in sight bringing his revolver to bear upon the fugitive firing three shots.Seeing he was likely to be overtaken the man dived into a pile of burnt logs where Mr.Wilford found him, the man coming out and begging him not to shoot.The bullets flying about him had had a soothing effect.Mr.John Wilford coming up, Harvey was taken to the house and kept for the night.Next morning Mr.\\\\ ilford brought him to Sherbrooke and gave him in charge of HighConstable Moe, who will take good care lie don\u2019t escape a second time.On the road Cookshire, a horse was found tied to tiio fence and an overcoat alongside, which was recognised as belonging to the prisoner and on him when arrested Saturday.A little further on Mr.George Sherman was met in company with a neighbor looking for a stolen horse.Harvey had lain in the woods in rear of Mr.M orris residence since his escape Sunday morning, some one helping him to break the handcuff's, and had evidently started to walk to Island Brook to get the money, and getting tired had hor-rou-cd Mr.Sherman\u2019s horse to aid him.He will he brought, before G.E.Rioux, Esq , D.M., on Tuesday for preliminary examination.Boating Adventure.What proved very nearly a terrible accident oceured last Saturday to two gentlemen from the City, Messrs \\\\ m.Morkill and J.A.Ready of the Merchants Bank.They took a canoe and started down the river.Reaching Mr.Clark\u2019s Mill, Brompton, they carried the light craft over the portage and essayed to run the rapids.They ran the first successfully and supposed the other would also tie passed in safety ; on they sped, hut an unseen snag caught their frail boat and checked her, it being swung around by the force of the current and begining at once to fill with water.A higher wave cleared them from the snag and swept them into the rushing water of the rapids when the boat filled and sank under them, Mr.Ready clinging to the boat, but Mr.Morkill lost his hold and was carried on by the current, he keeninghimself afloat by swimming,and was carried against a rock in midstream.Here he divested himself of all surplus clothing and dashed into the waves to try and get to shore.He battled with the waves hut was carried down a quarter of a mile into an eddy where he succeded in reaching terra firma well nigh exhausted.Mr.Ready, by holding on to the canoe, had also manged to get to land.Both had a narrow escape and all the boating they wanted for that day.SMTCall

in the city on Sunday last on it becoming known that four desperate prisoners confined in the jail had escaped after overpowering the turnkey, Mr.Wm.Irwin.A reporter of the Examiner visited the jail and was shown through the ward where the prisoners had been confined by the governor M.Read and keeper J.Chesuey.The floor and walls of the ward showed unmistakable evidence of a hard struggle between Irwin and the prisoners, being spattered with blood.It appears that as is usual on Sunday one keeper was left in charge of the jail,*the others being at church with the reformatory boys.This fact was evidently known to the prisoners, and a plan to escape devised.< >ne of the prisoners named Boisvert who had been acting as cook, had been sick and bad a bottle of medicine in his cell.Wrhen he was let out in the morning keeper Chesuey asked him if he did not want to take his medicine with him.He replied no that he did not require it.After the keepers had gone to church Boisvert suddenly feigned to be very sick and out of pure kindness of heart keeper Irwin w ent to bring his medicine from the cell.To do this he had to enter the ward where were five prisoners.Ho went in and going to the cell door was unlocking it when two of the prisoners sprang upon him and attempted to throw him down, at the same time placing a large handkerchief over his mouth to prevent an outcry for help.Irwin struggled manfully, being three times pulled to the floor, his face, neck and body pounded and scratched, from which blood flowed, as well as from Ids mouth ai.d nose, the wretches jumping upon him and causing him to expectorate blood, finally succeeding in tying and gagging him, prying his mouth open with one of the large iron keys.They then took the keys and after threatening two other prisoners if they gave an alarm, went out of the ward, locking the door, and were joined by the cook who supplied them with three loaves of bread.Taking a heavy poker to clear any living obstruction they might meet they let themselves out the front door and got away.Mr.Read\u2019s servant girl, Matilda Rose, met them on the steps and boldly demanded to know what they were doing there, receiving for reply a threat to brain her with the poker.She then ran and apprised Mr.Read\u2019s sister and together they went down to the ward and released Mr.Irwin who, though suffering much pain from his wounds, mounted ahorse and galloped* to the police station, the girl running to the church to apprise Mr.Read.Police and citizens were soon iu pursuit, but the fugitives had got nearly half an hour\u2019s start, and though the woods and fields for several miles were searched by a large number of men no trace was found of them, and they are still at large.Had there been a police alarm or telephone at the jail possibly they might have been recaptured, as the police could have been summoned in a few seconds.Mr.Walter Smith, Inspector of Prisons, was here on Wednesday and made enquiry into the facts.No blame was attached to anyone; he thought keeper Irwin simply allowed his good nature to get the better of his prudence in entering among so many desperate men for tire sake of doing a good turn for a sick man.The following are the names of the escaped prisoners : Geo.Boisvert, 27, belongs in Richmond, sentenced for 6 months for indecent assault ; had 3 mos.to serve -had lost two fingers and thumb of left hand.Napaleon Faboreau, 26, a notorious character, from Montreal, formerly news agent on the C.V.Ry., in for stealing a trunk, had two mouths to serve.He was a st.me cutter by trade, learned at the penitentiary.Patrick Connolly, 19, from Windsor .Mills, in for stealing an overcoat.Clias.Sullivan, 39, had two months to complete his sentence for stealing a valise.He is also a hardened character and has served the country iu the penitentiary.Mr.Irwin is getting along nicely although he still hears the marks of the desperate fray.The prisoners we feel sure would not have hesitated to sacrifice his life rather than lie baulked in their designs of escape.The brick-yard is again humming with industry.Messrs.Gordon A Loomis have got a first rate engine and steel boiler from M essrs.J enckes & Son with two brick machines and they are getting to work in earnest, turning out some 20,000 brick a day.They are putting in another new machine from Philadelphia to re press the brick and give them a better and smoother appearance.They hope soon to have a kiln of 300,000 ready for baking.The next examination of candidates for entrance to the Royal Military college

of Mr.< lilbert Stalker caught fire by a spark from the engine of the saw mill close by.The wind blew a gale at the time which spread the flames so rapidly that j with difficulty they saved two valuable horses that were in the stable at the time.The flames soon reached the residence ot Mr.Frank Johnston, which was also destroyed, only a small part of the furniture being saved.It was with difficulty several other buildings were kept from burning.Mr.Stalker\u2019s barn was partially insured, but Mr.Johnston\u2019s house was not insured .The spring has been favorable and seed is mostly

meetings are doing so well .T.R.Paige of Waterville has rented the store formerly occupied by Mr.Bantill and he has a grocery that is a credit to Mr.Paige as well as to Richby, and people who know say

are raging all around us and there is a great deal of other sickness.The roads are rough and driving is not pleasant.There is an enquiry for prime beef cattle and business seems to be picking up in that line.A good quantity of butter is being made now and it finds a ready sale, for choice 17 cents and for fair 15 cents ; potatoes 50 cents, corn $1, and wheat $1, oats 50 cents.May 17 th, 1886.As we were passing through the country to-day,we could hardly believe we were in Compton, if it was the cattle that undertook to convince us of the fact.Compton is known all over this country to he heavily stocked with choice thoroughbred cattle, imported direct from the old country.Yet we see here in this place cattle every day that are not paying their expenses, and yet people will keep on breeding these scrubs.M.H.Cochrane of Hillhurst and E.W.Judah and other deserving cattle men have placed it within the means of all to secure better stock at a fair price for the use of their thoroughbred bulls and by appearances it is high time that people took advantage of it.There is a promise of a good extra berry crop if the frost does not now do any damage.Apple trees are budding here and crab trees in blossom , grass in some places is a foot high and farmers are of the opinion hat grass is two weeks earlier than i t was the same time last year.The most of the crops are in and we all begin to feel a little easier.There ire not so many cattle out to pasture as there have been for a few years back, owing to the farmers getting discouraged at the low prices ; the rise of cattle in Montreal since navigation opened has affected this quarter some and there is a little more en-piiry for cattle, both for market and to feed.A great deal of land has been broken this spring and an unusually large breadth of grain has been sowed.BOOTS SHOE i>e:i*yt*t >r k iv rr Windsor Mills.Mr.Editor, Windsor Mills is as usual making arrangements to have a grand celebration on Dominion

hardware, etc .Foshien & Cyr have purchased Moony\u2019s stock of dry goods and groceries.Among the new enterprises a large, convenient hotel is needed.The municipal authorities should see the necessity of having proper buildings erected for a public market ; it would be a good investment besides a great convenience to the public.Cats seem to have great regard for the young.A rather curious circumstance took place here recently.An old lady about 80 years of age, living alone, kept a tine tom cat and one day it came in with a very young kitten in its mouth, which it fed and tenderly cared for.The whiskey vendors appear to be paralyzed, still the critter makes its appearance occasionally.John Dearden has retired from black-smithing, and A.Dearden has taken his place to carry on the business.Compton Notes.So much beautiful weather the last three weeks has greatly facilitated our spring work.True, some of the nights have been frosty and all cool, but I do not think much harm has been done the fruit trees or other growths thereby though some hurt is not improbable, especially to the more tender bushes.The grass is well started, nearly everybody\u2019s cattle having been turned out to pasture from a fortnight to a week ago.Tiie scarcity and the dearness of hay was one of the principal causes.Some days ago the Messrs.McIntosh, of Waterville, shipped some seventy head of cattle from Compton to England, many large and well-conditioned i )n Wednesday last Mr.Geo.Merrill shipped 22 head of fine large cattle to Montreal for Glasgow, the average exceeding 1,400 lbs., and many pictures of form and superior condition.We have received few or no immigrants as yet, although good cheap help continues scarce.The farm of 1 lie late Mr.Marshall, of Clifton, containing one hundred acres, fifty very good land, with a line large orchard, was sold last week to a farmer named Crosby for $1,825, the furniture, tools cattle, etc., being auctioned the same day by Mr.Griffith.A good deal of grain has already been sown and gardening work done, the farmers being even now pleased with the look of the meadows and gardens.It isreported Mr.S.J.Pomroy intends trying his luck with some of his fine stallions, Percherons inclusive, on the English market.Their good blood and excellent form and condition cannot but command much admiration.Mr.John Halliday & Sons, of Quebec, have made a capital beginning on the large farm they purchased from W.Allan, between Compton Village and Mop\u2019s River, last summer.While Mr.Ilalliday, Sr., is prosecuting his salmon fisheries in the Labrador region his sons are carrying on the farm, a large portion being already in crop, and a good stock of cattle and other animals doing well on pasture.These gentlemen bid fair to make an enviable mark in agriculture as well as in the St.Lawremv fisheries.My line of Boots and Shoes now enjoy the reputation of being the roost comfortable, stylish and serviceable in the city.Tatrons can

my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal run down.Knowing the value of AVer\u2019s Sarsaparilla, hy observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, 1 began taking it for the above-named disorders.Iffy appetite improved almost from the first dose.After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared.Sly catarrh and cough were also cured by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent, i feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these results to the use of the Sarsaparilla, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised.1 took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, less than two bottles.1 place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good.Yours respectfully, Z.P.Wilds.\u201d The above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove the perfect adaptability of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to the cure of all diseases arising from impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality.Ayer\u2019s SarsaparilSa cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood, stimulates the action of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrofulous Diseases, Eruptions of the Skin, llheu-matism, Catarrh, General Dehilitii, and all disorders resulting from poor or corrupted blood and a low state of the system.PREPARED BY Dr.J.C.Ayer&Co.,Lowell, Mass.Sold by all Druggists: price §1, six bottles for $5.AYER\u2019S CATHARTIC PILLS.Best Purgative Medicine cure Constipation, Indigestion, Headache, and all Bilious Disorders.Sold every where.Always reliable.\u2022 ifcr- PERRY DAVIS\u2019 PAIN-KILLER 19 RECOMMENDED BY Pfvisirinnx, Ministers, Missionaries, Munai/ers of Factories, Workshops, Plantations, Nurses in Hospitals, \u2014in short, everybody everywhere who has ever given it a trial.TAKEN INTERNALLY MIXED WITH A WINE GLASS OF HOT MILK AND SI GAR, IT WILL BE FOI ND A NEVER FAILING OFRE FOR SUDDEN COLDS, CHILLS, CONGESTION OR STOPPAGE OF CIRCULATION, CRAMPS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH, SUMMER AND BOWEL COMPLAINTS, SORE T II BOAT .&o.APPLIED EXTERNALLY, EXPERIENCE HAS PROVEN IT THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND REST LINIMENT ON EARTH IN REMOVING THE PAIN' ARISING FROM SPBATNS, BRUISES, RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA, SWELLED FACE, TOOTHACHE, BURNS, FROST BITES, &e., &c.'tôets.per Bottle.fsaT Beware of Imitations.\u201c\u202298 0 «4«uvPâi,::i»il BANKRUPT STOCK STAPLE FANCY DRY GOODS!
