several days a large num- La Tuque Branch @, T.P.Flooded.According to a Ls Tuque correspondent, the unusual height of the St.Maurice river thisspring has shown up à bad engineeging mistake in the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in that district, which may necessitate a complete redrafting of the plans.The correspondent says: \u201cAt the present moment several miles of the roadbed of the railway are several feet under water; in fact, one of the conductors came into La Tuque Friday afternoon and reported that he had paddled in a canoe for two miles over the tracks of the railway, there being two feet and more of water over the tracks during the entire distance.There is every indication that in planning the road the engineers miscalculated the high water levels, and have laid the road in such a way that it will be flooded whenever the St.Maurice rises unusually high.The river this spring has risen bigher than it bas done for several years past and the whole country in this district is flooded.This is, perbaps, fortunate, as it has shown the mistake ky the engineers before the road was completed, so that it can be rectified in time.Whether the plans are

St.Vincent de Paul, in which the body of a murderer had been exposed.Away back at the time of the Conquest, there was a law on the statute book which called for the exposure of the body of a criminal executed for murder at the place where the crime had been committed.In this cage seen by Judge Sicotte, had been exposed the body of a French soldier, named St.Paul, who had fought under Montcalm.He remained in Canada after the capitulation and took service with a farmer named Be- langer near St.Vincent de Paul, and one night murdered the whole family, save a little girl.He was shortly afterwards executed.This is the last instance in which this old law calling for the exposure of the murderer\u2019s body was enforced in Canada.Mother had Child Arrested.The pitiful lot of some small boys in Montreal was shown the other day when one only ten years old was brought before Judge Piché with his eyesred and swollen and his face scratched.The injuries had been received in the police station from two young toughs with whom the little fellow had been locked in the same cell, and who were later sentenced each to five years in the penitenttary.The unfortunate little fellow hod been arrested at the request of his mother a well-dressed woman because he stole money from her, and because he had alrehdy been expelled from several schools.The jndge, after ascertaining that the child had \u2018been sent to school at the age of three to keep him out of his mother\u2019s way, refused to commit him and instead warned the mother to take her child home and do her duty by him.ber of the

An address on emigration to Canada from the Canadian trade unionists point of view was delvered to members of Edinbugh and District Trades Council last night in the Canongate Institute by Mr.W.R.Trotter, to whom the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada has delegated the task of showing to the people in the Motherland the view taken by organized labor in Canada of wholesale emigration to the Dominion.Mr.Walter Bell presided.Mr.Trotter assured his audience at the outset that the trade nnionists were fairly well organized in Canada, and mentioned that the Union to which he belonged operated over an area reaching from Edmonton in Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico, and it bad branches in the Philippines.They did not have half a dozer unions of the same craft bickering with each other as there were in this country.The Canadian government, he said, had a big territory to All up, and in seeking for population they asked for three classes of people\u2014farmers and farm workers, railway pavvies, and domestic servants.These classes had been asked for right along the line.The Government bad never asked for anything else; but certain people were interested in having other classes broughe into the conntry.They would like to have four men for each job in the mechanical craîts; and they had produced such a state of affairs that every municipality in Canada had a large unemployment problem on its hands, and the associated charities were doing out relief week by week.So far as the mechanical trades were concerned, Canada was no better off than this country.He declared emphatically that the Canadian Government stated that it had not authorized emigration societies to persuade skilled mechanics to go to Canada, and he quoted a Government pamphlet on the subject in support of his assertion.GOVERNMENT NOT TO BLAME.The Government of Canada was not to blame, he said.An artisan going to Canada just now had a very bad chance of getting a footing.The Canadian Government agents would declare, if asked, that the skilled artisan\u2019s chances of employment in Canada were small indeed.He laid much of the responsibility for the position in Canada as he described it upon the charitable and semi-religious bodies engaged in emigration work.Pointing out that Canada was yet a young country, he said industrial centres there were few and far between.Consequently, it was ridiculous to suggest that there was work for all artisans.Proceeding, he reviewed the work of the Canadlan Manutacturers\u2019 Association, the members of which, he said, were business men who believed that there ought to be at least four men for every job in the country.He asserted that the man who would ship people from one side of the earth to the other \u2018\u2018and leave them sliding\u2019 were criminals.(Applause.) The Board of Trade in Canada corresponded to our Chambers of Commerce.He had seen more of the pam- pblets issued by \u2018these Boards in this country than he had ever seen in Can- ads.The Boards would not dare to have published these pamphlets in their own districts.Pamphlets recently issued by Canadian Government Departments might be regarded as generally correct, but when reading pamphlets by the Boards of Trade, they ought to take a peck of salt for every line they read.He described the operations of the various emigration societies in this country as \u2018simply abominable.\u201d These charitable and religious societies had put up the stiffest ight against the Government\u2019s legislation on the subject.He severely criticized the emigration scheme of General Booth, whose organisation he described as the Emigration Army, Salvation, he said, being now a side issue.The Salvation Army were busy seeking emigrants from the mother country, and on the other side of the water the Army\u2019s representatives were breaking their necks trying to\u2019 get places for those already sent out by the Army.The methods of the Army, he said, were not always fair and square.BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.Mojor J.R.D.Graham, formerly of the British army, and Mr, J.D.Henry, an oil expert arrived in New York Sunday on their way to investigate the oil of Canada with a view to se- sitively overcomes pain im~the back, are hardly larger than a silver quart- to in Jeadi cities Ev The the urine of sediment and regulates urination, especially at ni ht, curing even the worst forms of bladder weakness.ery Ian or woman here who feels that the kidneys are not strong or act- in a healthy manner should mix t prescri large a trial, as it le sald to do wonders for Branton (Pa.)

The following account is taken from \u201cThe Boys\u2019 World.\u201d The fact that Jason Lee, the \u201chero,\u201d was a native of Stanstead townships gives a local interest to the \u201cstory.\u201d Late in the summer of 1832 there suddenly appeared on the streets of St.Louis four Flathead Indians.The mysterious and unheralded coming of the four savages was at once the canse of much comment and speculation.Not that an Indian was a strange sight in St.Louis; on the contrary, at that early day, Red men of a dozen tribes were seen continually on the streete of that busy mart.But these four strangers were different.It was apparent that they belongedto none of the many tribes around St.Louis.They wore no blankets, but were clad entirely in the furs and skins of wild beaste\u2014not the beasts of the middle states, but of the great Pacific West of which but little was known.The four strangers did not lounge with the crowds of idlers on the corners, nor carouse and drink the \u2018\u2018firewater\u2019 of the paleface.They soon made their mission known, and the white people were amazed.Since none could understand their language they told by signs that they were members of the great trlbe of Fiat- heads of the far away Oregon; county thelr tribe had heard from the lips of a few wandering trappers that the white man, who lived and prospered in the distant East, worshipped a different God from that of his red brother, and that this was the secret of the white man\u2019s goodness, prosperity and power.They had learned also that the God of the white man spoke to him through a Great Book; thatin this book was the law by which the white man, and the red man, too, if he so cared to do, must live to enjoy the best that this life affords, and shape him for a better life to come.The tribe sent these four as delegates to find this Great Book through which the God of the white man spoke, and to find someone who would teach them the new religion, that they too, might become a mighty people.The quest of the four Indians was brought at once to the attention of the St.Louis missions, and the Christian workers of tbe city were aroused to a knowledge of the fact that the great Oregon country was an inviting field for missionary labor.But it takes a Board of Missions a long time to act, as there are so many details that must first be cared for.Rather than wait for the main party of missionaries that was to be organized and equipped, Jason Lee and Cyrus Shep- Ard prepared to go at once to the Oregon wilderness, where the tribe of Flatheads were eagerly awaiting the return of the four favored men who bad been sent og the long pilgrimage.But even before the two young men could get ready two of the four Indi- aps died, presumably from having been given too much of the \u201cstrange food\u201d of the paleface, for theirs had been the plain, raw food of the wild.In company with the remaining two, Jason Lee and Cyrus Shepard turned their faces Westward, and started on the long, long journey across the trackless American desert and the trailless Rocky Mountain range.Winter was coming on, with its deep snows and bitter winds, but the two dauntless young missionaries, spurred on by a noble purpose, kept their faces toward the West.Before they reached the east slope of the Rocky Mountains another of the Indians died.But the redman had become thoroughly converted, had heard the voice of the white man\u2019s God as he spoke through the pages of the Great Book, so he went to his reward with a smiling countenance, praying that his one remaining comrade and the two white brothers might reach his people in safety.With the one remaining Indian as guide, Lee and Shepard pushed on, crossing the Rockies in safety, sustaining themselves on the meat of wild animals killed along the way.The presence of the Indian in the party, who was a redman of high attainment among redmen, and who could converse in the language of most of the tribes across whose territory they traversed, saved them from all molestation; in truth it made it possible for them to secure the warmth and shelter of the savage tepee at times when they would have died from the cold and exposure had they been left to the fury of the winter storm.On reaching the Columbia they were escorted the remaining distance down the river by boat to Vancouver.The mission goods, together with the mission party, were to arrive at a later date by ocean vessel, but the two young men set to work at once in building a house of worship.This house was made of logs, and in ite construction they had the assistance both of the trappers of the Hudson Bay Company, at Vancouver, and of the Redmen of the surrounding tribes.80 eager were they to begin work, that Lee and Shepard dedicated it before the roof was on, even though it was midwinter.Indian children were received as pupils in the new school, and converts were received into the \u201creligion of the white man.\u201d\u2019 On one day Jason Les baptised twenty-one men, women and children of the tribes.The giad news was carried by the swift-footed Redmen to the remotest corners of the wilderness, that one of the delegates had returned, bringing with him the Great Book of the white man\u2019s God, and two white men to teach the wonderful religion.Never Was a savage people more eager to receive the message of the Saviour.And, in imparting the truths of Christianity to the Indians, the young missionaries used due tact and precaution.The sole purpose was to elevate the mental and spiritual condition of the savages, and they were well aware that this could not be accomplished in a day; that there must be even greater hardships and privations than those they had already endured.With this purpose known they were kindly and hospitably received.So they started to work to educate the Indian, and teach him how to make the soil yield a livelihood; and this was why they opened a school for the children, where the little ones could learn to read from the Great Book and worship God.During the winter, and while waiting the seeding time, Shepard took charge of the school and mission, while Lee went out among the tribes.| It is doubtful if any white man, before or since, has ever been received with such genuine cordiality and ceremoni- pus distinction as greeted the young missionary on his journeyings among the wilderness tribes.It seemed that everywhere the savages had heard of him, and knew that he carried the Great Book and could teach them the white man\u2019s religion.Thus his ap- proach to an Indian village was a signal for a general display of savage grandeur and hospitality.It was the {general belief of the Redman that the | \u201cPaleface\u201d belonged to a eupetior race and that the prime cause of this superiority was due to his worshipping | the one true God.The Indians now ' hoped to learn how they, too, could gain favor with the Supreme Being, who gave power and happiness ot, mind to those who worshipped him.| Confident that the young missionary | could win them favor with the white | man\u2019s God, they received him every- | where with out-stretched arms and demonstrations of unbounded joy.| Thus was it necessary, because of the | savage impatience, to use great tact | and precaution.He held services in every village, and through the medium of an interpreter, presented the rudimentary principles of the Chris- | tian doctrine.At best he could hope | tion for the great structure of right- years of constant effort and untiring toil.Lee returned to the log mission, and early in spring the two inaugurated the agricultural branch of their enterprise.A shipload of supplies bad arrived at Vancouver for the mission, and among the articles sent were many packages of seed.Soil was tilled and planted, and the first harvest, in which the Indians took great interest, yielded, all told, several hundred bushels of potatoes, wheat, barley, oats and peas.To this was added a number of barrels of dried salmon taken by the Redmen from the river and thus was inculcated into the savages the idea of planting, cultivating and harvest, as well as the necessity of laying away stores for the winter.The first serious trouble between the missionaries and the Indians arose that fall shortly after harvest.A number of children had been schooled through the summer, and as the little ones were eager to learn, they were too closely confined.As a consequence, fever appeared among them in the autumn.The stricken children were given all possible care and attention, but despite the heroic efforts of the white men, four of them died.This was a sad misfortune as it caused the Indians to believe that the white man\u2019s God in a moment of wrath, had killed the little ones.The news was carried to the tribes and one dark pight a party of savages, led by the brother of one of the dead children, attacked the mission with the intention of taking the livbe of the missionaries.Both men would no doubt have been killed had not a friendly Indian learned of the intended attack, and breaking into the room where Oyrus Shepard lay sleeping, awakened him and given the alarm.The three quickly armed themselves and drove the attacking party back across the river.In a little while peace was restored, and the mission continued to grow and prosper.An addition was built to the log house, and better and more commedious quarters constructed for the pupils.The next year, and for several years following, many parties of missionaries, with supplies and equipment, arrived in Oregon and Washington, and posts were established at various points; but the work of these was made easier because of scattering throughout the tribes of the rudimentary principles by the two young men who first answered the call, and brought the Great Book of \u2018a (ss Qu I Photo by Carton Studie, Toreate, HOMER WATSON Canada\u2019s Great Landscape Painter.Every great landscape artist is both a poet and a painter.The imagination, the intuition, the inter tation, the sympathy, the reverence, the love, kinship and communion with Nature of the poet, filterin through the mind of the artist find their medium of expression in brush and colors, Every great painting is a poem in paint instead of in print.One feels this strongly in the presence of Homer Watson's paintings, the putting on canvas of a single mood, with detail ever subordinated to the general effect.They are never photographic, but are always strongly individual inter pretations, Whether it be a rouh sca with the dancing fisher-boats under a dull, rain-filled sky.the white mill catching the high lights with its background of foliage, the lone rider bent over his horse plodding along a rain-washed road some noble monarch forest tree braving the elements, or his interpretations of any other moods of Nature, one always feels the sentiment, the richness of color, the atmosphere, the glow, the feeling\u2014all seom parte of a singlo effect.The dainty daubs of detail characteristic of some painters find no place in Mr.Watson's work ; it is ever bold, rugged, broad in treatment, breathing vigor and vitality.Homer Watson was born in the little village of Doon, on Grand River, Ont., in 1856, and as a boy at school showed his natural instinct for art when he sur- reptiously drew on his slute an over-vivid picture of the strong and peculiar features of his teacher, which drew upon him deserved punishment, He seemed to turn naturally to landscape work, and his first largo painting \u201cThe Pioneer Mill,\u201d which appeared at the fist exhibition of the oyal Canadian Academy was purchased by the Marquis of Lorne, and now hangs in a place of honor in Windsor Castle.Mr.Watson has exhibited at the Aeademy in Eagland, the New Gallery, the New English Art Club, the Glasgow Institute and at International Expositions, and been honored by onc-man exhibitions where thitty or more of his paintings were hung together, thus enabling one to study comparatively the range of his work.He makes almost annual trips to England, but loves Canada, her scenes and her people too well to take up permanent residence abroad.It is always dangerous to compare the work of one puinter with another as it may carry with it a suggestion of imitation which would be unjust to one whose work is so individu as Mr.Watson's; but the critics in their appreciation of his paintings couple his name with Corot, Constable, Diaz, Rosseau and Courhet\u2014a noble

whose conversation is of things of no moment either to the country or to their own lives, who do not seem to have received any call to fill a place'in the grand machinery of mankind.Those who have realized a calling and are resolved to do something and be something are in great demand.The hope of the country is not in the man who hopes to be provided with a place at a living salary, but the man who can.This year\u2019s emigration from Ireland to the United States will, it is said, be the lowest in many years, and hardly reach half that of last year.Ireland, although torn politically is plodding slowly but surely on the way to greater prosperity.Native industries are springing up in villages and employment for skilled and unskilled labor is steadily growing.There is also a persistent agitation by the Gaelic League against the board of emigration.It is understood that Lord Dudiey\u2019s commission is in favor of splitting up the large grazing ranches and equipping small holders with farms sufficiently large to be economic and provide living for the tillers and their families.Further there is falling off in prepaid prosages, which in days past came m America, on account of

MEETING.The Stanstead District Meeting of the Methodist Church convened in the Church at Coaticook, May 12th and 15th, under the Presidency of the chairman, Rev.Geo.8.Clendinnen, 8.L.of Stanstead.All the ministers in charge of circuits were present except Rev.R.N.Dafoe at the Ministerial Session of the first day.The Rev.J.A.Miller was elected Journal Secretary, after this the usual disciplinary questions were asked concerning each minister and satisfactorily answered in every case.It was found that Rev.8.Teeson, a superan- uated minister, who had before resided at Magog, had been transferred to the Montreal District.A very kind letter from Dr.Flanders was read explaining and regretting his absence, and containing a brief account of bis connection with the District, and mentioning his sorrow in severing bis relation with it.The matter of answering thie was laid over, in the band of a committee until the next day when the following rea- olution was unanimously passed by a rising vote: \u2014Moved by Rev.M., V, Brundage, seconded by Rev.W.P.Boshart, B.D., and resolved: That we the members of the Stanstead District meeting in session assembled, having learned of the transfer of the Reverend Dr.Flanders from our Conference into the N.B.and P.E.I.Conference, take this opportunity of expressing our segret at his removal from us, and of assuring him of our continued interest in him and his work.We shall long remember Dr.Flanders, who for twenty-three years has been a member of and interested in the affairs of our District.We shall miss his wise counsels, his genial companionship and his splendid energy given so generously to the church we love.We also wish, as a District, to convey to Dr.Flanders our appreciation of his 15 years service as principal of Stanstrad Wesleyan College, during which time the Institution has seen great expansion and has done good work.The prayers and best wishes of the brethren will follow Dr.Flanders as he leaves our College, -our District, and our Conference and we hope for him continued prosperity in his new home and field of labor.\u2019 Another Communication was placed before the District, it was from Mrs.\u201cT.G.Williams, president of the Montreal Conference Branch of the Woman\u2019s Missionary Society, asking for the privilege of having a representative speak to the District meeting.A place was arranged in the evening programme.During the day time was given to the review of the work in the District which was engaged in by all present.The District meeting opened at 9 am.on Thureday, May 14th, with devotional exercises conducted by the chairman, after which the following elections were made; Rev.J.A.Miller, Journal Secretary; Rev.J.1.Hughes, M.A, Statistical Secretary; Rev.8.F.Newton, Mr.N.A.Darling, Rev.L.H.Fisher Auditors of the Schedule Reporter.The regular routine business was carried out in full, which during the sessions gave rise to the following motions: One moved by Rev.R.G.Peever, B.D., asking Conference to appoint a committee to report during its session to inguire into.the labore and results of the new program concerning the employment of probationers during the summer months in evangelistic work on the Missions.One growing out of the report of Rev.W.P.Boshart, B.D., Bursar of Stanstead College ofirming; the con- tiaved loyalty of the District to Mr, Boshart ia bis work of increasing the endowment, and to the College under the new principal, Mr.G.J.Truman, M A.The Rev.R.G.Peever, B.D., Was -eleutod to the Stationing Committee ih Rev.M.V.Brundage as alter- sate.The other elections were duly enrried ont.: \" The invitation gives by the minister ° 06 Manconville was accepted, and the \u201cBistetos mecting will be held there It is not often thas our villages are oalled to meet s0 unexpected & fact, as the going home of our esteemed friend snd fellow townsman, John Gilmore.It seems but yesterday that we all saw him about the regular routine of home snd business duties, apparently in perfeot health.It was a shock that hushed us all into symps- thy, silence and thoughtfulness, for John Gilmore was a good boy, a good young mau, 8 good husband and father and a good citizen and his death speaks emphatically in proof of the great fact, that our lives are in the great Creator's hands and he will direct our goings and comings.His death from heart failure at an early hour last Saturday morning, made the span of his life\u2019s work, fifty- two years, four months and ten days, comparatively a young man in appearance and years, he was at his best and seemed destined for many years of work.His pleasant business home and the conservative healthfulness of his trade relations with the community, which he had earned by careful, courteous attention to this portion of his life work, was very full of promise.His commodious, comfortable, hapgy home life with bis true, loving, home- keeping wife and the three boys and two daughters was so full of joyful promise.It has been the pleasure of the writer to listen many times to his aspirations for hie children, as he has spoken modestly of what he hoped for them, revealing his loyalty to true things, those worth while.He wasn\u2019t a dreamer, his feet were aiwayé on the ground, and his life was made up of practical things, and yet, he was always attracted by the beautiful in any feature of life.As I walked about.the villages Saturday eveningand heard from all nothing but universal commendation for this man I said, he must bave been the son of a good mother, and this mother survives, this, her eldest son, and she has left to her, four sone; James A, Patrick, Jerry M., and Charles Z., and three daughters, Mre.John F.Pa- quette, Mrs.Samuel T.Fregeau and Miss Annie, but to this mother, and these brothers and sisters, John was always the conservative force, and this family are one of the finest examples of loyalty to the old hearthatone and to each other in the community.The lesson of the bundle of sticks is here splendidly exemplified, the strength of union shown.John married Margaret Jennie Pa- quette, August 26th, 1884, and the children that have come to this home making are: Albert F., Alice E., Leo, Arthur and Jeannette.It is understood that Albert and Leo will continue their father\u2019s business.Arthnr is a student at St.Charles Semiinary at Sherbrooke, and Alice and Jeanette are at the Caswell Avenue home.The funeral took place on Tuesday from his late residence to the R.C.Church, and was one of the largest in attendance in the history of the Villages.The procession, was nearly a mile in length.It was led by Frontier Lodge, No.56, A.O.U.W., followed by Court Rock Island, No.857, C.OF., and St.Joseph\u2019s Benevolent Society, the mourners and a long concourse of sorrowing friends including many from out of town.The mourners were: Mrs.John Gilmore and Albert Gilmore, Miss Alice Gilmore, Leo Gilmore, Jeanette Gilmore and Arthur Gilmore; Mies Annie Gilmore, Mr.Chas.Gilmore, Mr.and Mrs.Jas.Gilmore, Mr.and Mrs.P.Gilmore, Mr.and Mrs.J.M.Gilmore, Mr.and Mrs.John Paquette, and Mr.and Mrs.8.T.Fregeau.Those from out of town were: Mr.Thomas Paquette, Mrs.Dr.Feuiltauit, Miss Catherine Paquette, Paquette- ville; Dr.J.O.Camiraund, Jas.Gauth- fer, J.B.Daly, J.P.Pothier, Fred Paradis, Willie Chartier, Messrs.Fred and Rodolphe Vallee, Sherbrooke; Mr.John Ryan, Mise Lily Ryan, St.Johnsbury, Vt.; Mr.and Mrs.Perkius Montpelier, Vt., Mr.Orvilia Gauthier, Three Rivers; Mrs.L.P.Aubin and Misses Maria and Alice Aubin, Newport; Mr.B.O.Taylor, Boston.The church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, had beenspecially draped for the occasion and the service Included the solemn high mass, with deacon and sub-deacon.The Rev.Father Cruvelller, who conducted the service, spoke eloquent words of commendation for the departed.There were many beautiful floral tributes including Wreath, A.O.U.W.; Wreath, C.O.F.; Pillow, St.Joseph's Society; Pillow, Brothers; Cross, Wife and Children; Anchor, Merchants of Derby Line; and many cut flowers.Mesers.P.A.Bissonnet, M.L.A, and T.Frank O'Rourke were the managers.The bearers were: Messrs.James Boyle, M.F.Hackett, J.B.Seg- uin, T.J.Norris, J.A.Many and L.A, Lanctot, and the ushers were J.E.St.Pierre, T.Oscar Lanctot and Alfred J.Bissonnet.Mrs.Thomas J.Norris was in charge of the choir.All the stores and places of business were closed during the services.Many telegrame, messages of con- dolencs and spiritual offerings have been received by the family.The B.T.Bask has

afternoon a banquet was given by the Bench, Bar and Court officials of the District of Bed- ford on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the formal opening of the Superior Court in that district.Hon.Mr.Justice Lynch presided and Lany distinguished guests were present.James Murphy aged 31 years, employed by R.H.Pope, Cookshire died suddenly at that place Monday morning.Itiseaid that the unfortunate young man had fallen into the drink habit and was taking \u201cgold cure\u2019 medicine to overcome it.Death ie said to bave been due to an overdose of the medicine.The buildings on David Harvey's farm, on the Wotton road five miles from Danville, were burned Tuesday night by the explosion of a lantern while the owner was attending a sick horse.The loss includes 20 tons hay, farm implements household furniture, etc., and is placed at 85,000 with an insurance of two or three thousand.The body of John Morrison, a resident of Hampton township, six miles from Scottstown, was found in a field near the house yesterday.Tuesday he had an attaek of heart failure wnile returning from Scottatown, and was taken home by a companion.At 4 o\u2019clock a.m.yesterday he was missed from his bed, and it is supposed that he rushed from the house when the second attack came.Itis now said that the Eastern Townships cavalry will drill at La- prairie this year.There was some talk of assembling a large body at Quebec during the Tercentenary Celebration, but that plan bas been abandoned as it was thought to be too big an undertaking for the militia department.The permanent corps will be sent there with the city regiments of Quebec, Ontario and the Maritime Provinces, making a total of about ten thousand.At a convention in Knowlton, Monday, Brome County Conservatives tendered a unanimous vote to E.Fleury N.P., for the Provincial nomination.Mr.Fleury declined the honor, explaining that his strength would not permit him to enter in the fight.This answer being final, after a brief conference, the delegates extended the same unanimous vote to F.A.Olmstead, merchant, of Sutton, who was taken entirely by surprise, and asked for three days ia which to consider his personal duties.The time was granted.Sixty accredited delegates were present at the Liberal Convention held at Ayer\u2019s Cliff last Thursday for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the Provincial Legislature.Upon the first ballot Mr.P.A.Bissonnet of Stanstead, the present member, received 59 votes, Mr.G.A.LeBaron, of North Hatley, one.Upon motion of Mr.LeBaron, the choice of Mr.Bis- sionnet was made unanimous, The candidate rendered a \u2018\u2018good account of his stewardship,\u201d the result of his efforts in behalf of the Protestant minority being regarded as especially satisfactory.Hon.W.A.Weir, Provincial Treasurer, gave a resumé of the government's work during the past ten years.There is a wide difference of upinion among Conservatives as to the result of the convention at Ayer\u2019s Clift, Tuesday, particularly regarding the choice of Mr.Paige as the candidate for the Dominion House.At first dls- satisfaction seemed universal in some localities, but.public attitude seems to be changing and members of thé party are pointing out the good qualities of their candidate.One man who is fairly well aoquainted with Mr.Paige, expressed himself asfollows: \u2018When 1 first heard the result I thought it ri- dioulous, but the more I think of it the more I am convinced that Mr.Paige will'make a good candidate.In the first place, he is a business man, and we want business men; he is a clean honest, pretty well known, well liked, and a \u2018fighter trom way-back,\u2019 and that is what is wanted of a politician.Then I would rather have a yonng horse with something to \u2018build on\u2019 than a scarred veteran that has been distanced on a dosen tracks.\u201d This man went on to say that he The Stanstead County W.0.T.U.minion Parliament and N.CO.Gendron, butoher, of Magog as candidate for tbe Provincial Legislature.Fifty delegates were present.The choice for the Quebec House was at firsh named Mr.Ashby of Hatley being under consideration, but dropped in the end on account of his short residence in the county\u2014only about two years.A unanimous vote was finally tendered to Mr.Gendaon.After it had been decided to select a candidate for the Federal House, ballotting began, the first vote standing as follows: J.P.Bowen 1, George W.Paige 9, M.F.Hackett 19, A.H.Moore 27.À two-thirds vote (38) was necessary for a choice.The second ballot gave Mr.Bowen 2, Mr.Paige 12, Mr.Hackett 15, Mr.Moore 26.Third ballot, J.N.Jenks 1, Mr.Paige 18, Mr.Hackett 11, Mr.Moore 24.Fourth ballott, Mr.Paige 21, Mr.Hackett 11, Mr.Moore 23.Fifth ballott, Mr.Paige 28, Mr.Hackett 10, Mr.Moore 18.Sixth ballot Mr.Paige 33, Mr.Hackett 7, Mr.Moore 16.On the seventh ballot Mr.Paige re- \u2018ceived 38 votes, the number Necessary for election, Mr.Moore and Mr.Hack- ett receiving nine.Upon the motion of Dr.Shurtleff the choice of Mr.Paige was made unanimous.Addresses were made by Messrs.Moore, Hackettjand G.H.St.Pierre.Still more favorable reports regarding western crop prospects are coming forward.It is now stated that the graln area will be at least one-fourth larger than that of last year.The weather has continued favorable and in some districts the grain is six inches above the ground.Competent judges of conditions say the harvest should be well under way by the middle of August.Considerably before that time banks and business men generally will be well informed as to actual outcome of the crop and business will reflect conditions.A report states that methods of plowing and seeding have this year been greatly improved, particularly among the immigrants that have arrived during the past year or two.This is owing to the facf that many of those arriving from the United States are experienced farmers\u2014Bradstreets.A Remarkable Savings Bank Record.[From the Bennington Banner.] Hon.Carroll 8.Page has heen often pointed out as Vermont's leading business man, and he has more than once justified the title, but his latest achievement seems to be the most remarkable of his long and successful career.During the past six months and including the period covering the most pronounced financial stringency in a decade he has increased the deposits of his bank at Hyde Park by $235,000 through a campaign of newspaper advertising in the daily and weekly papers of this state.This achievement would have been remarkable at any time, but in view of the financial disturbances of the past few months it is nothing Jess than astonishing, yet when taken and considered carefully the process seems comparatively simple after all.In the first place Governor Page who has dominated the Hyde Park bank has insisted on most rigidly conservative methods, studying always the security of the loan and the safety of the deposits rather than the prospect of big interest returns and financial benefit to the directors.In this way he and his bank have earned the confidence of the saving people of Vermont, and when he placed the facts fairly and simply stated before the newspaper readers of this state the response was immediate.Money has poured in from all over Vermont in large and small sums, and the Page bank one begins an account he is practically sure to add to it as fast as possible, Some of the other banking men of the state have criticised Governor Page\u2019s methods, but it seems to be due more to jealousy than to any just cause, and as business is known by its results, the results in the case of Governor Page and his bank speak for themselves.This Bank pays 4 per cent.interest, compounded semi-annually.MADETOR SERVIC AND GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY it is noted that when a depositor in| Derb Government.O position.Brome Vilas & metead Compton Giard Megantio Smith
