There had been a fight with the troops, in which the officers in command were killed. Troops are surrounded away from any water supply, and their trains have been captured. Chief Ouray, head of the Ute nation, sends the following order to his people by a runner: ‘‘To Chiefs, Captains, Head men and Utes at White River—You are hereby requested and commanded to cease hostilities against whites, injuring no innocent person er any other, further than to protect your own lives and property from the unlawful and unauthorized combina- tions of horse thieves and desperadoes, as anything further will ultimately end in disaster to all parties,”

New York, Oct. 5.

A special despatch irom Laramine city says it is believed the Utes will obtain a supply of arms, and ammunition’ from the Mormons, who will furnish all they want.

‘In the Jaws of a Lion.

(‘Among the Zulas.”)

I was out after porcupines, and was lying down one night near the porcupine’s hole waiting for him to come out. Ithad no gun, but only my hunting knife and a large knob kerrie with which to knock the poreu- pine on the nose; for that, as you know, kills him at once. I did not hear a sound until I found the grass near me move and a lion got his paws on me and lifted me up. The brute pressed his claws into me, but, luckily, my leather belt prevented his teeth frem damaging me, and he carried me hold- ing on to my coat and belt. If either of these had given way I should have been laid hold of in a far more rough manner. A lion is like a cat in one thing—he can held a live creature in his mouth and not damage it, just as I have seen a cat carry a mouse. I knew the nature of the lion well enough to know that if I struggled I should have my neck broken or my head smashed in an instant; so I did not struggle, but quietly drow my knife and thought what was best todo. I thought at first of trying to strike him in the heart, but I could not reach that part of him, and his skin looked so loose that I could not strike deep enough carried as I was. I knew it would be life or death with me in an instant, so turning myself a bit, I gashed the lion’s nose and cut it through. The lion drepped meas I would a pcisonous anake, and jumpe/l away roaring with pain. He stooped for an in- stant looking at me, but I did not move, and he did not seem to like to carry me again. More than once he came up to with- in a few yards, licking the blood as it peured from his nose ; but there I remained like a stone, and he was fairly afraid to tackle me again. I know a buffalo and an ox are very sensitive about the nose, and a cat, if just tipped on the nose, can’t stand it, so L thought a lion might be the same, and so it proved.

Canadian Meat in England.

A loud outcry is being raised in England against the exorbitant profits which are being reaped by middle men engaged in the sale of Canadian and American meat. The prejudice which formerly existed against transatlantic beef and mutton has wholly disappeared, and the public de- mand to be brought into more direct trade relations with the exporters. The choice cuts of Canadian carcases are now sold as English fed beef; and although it is not deemed exactly proper for a well-to-do family to eat anything but prime Wiltshire ham or bacon, 3,437,000 ewt. of bacon and 797,000 cwt of hams were imported from America during the last twelve months. It is expected that the Royal Agricultural Commissioners will recommend prompt and vigoreus action with a view to placing the producer in Canada or the United States and the cousumer of farm produce in the old country in closer and more intimate re- lationship.

tiiiinsiliiaaatlat ald e The State of Trade.

Montreal Gazette: The improvement in the wholesale trade in this city, noticed by us for several weeks past, is now so decided and marked as to leave no room for doubt even in the minds of those who hare hither- to been inclined to look upon the National Policy as antagonistic to the welfare of the trade of the Dominion. If to the new trade policy be ascribed the dull times which im- ‘vaediately followed its inauguration, and before it fairly had time to get into working order, then in all fairness we may now lay claim to the present unmistakable evidences of a genuine revival in the leading branches of Canada’s commerce, as a direct result of the introduction of the much-needed reform in our trade policy.

Farm Imptements, after they have been used, should be cleaned and stored under cover. Mowing machines are injured more by three months’ exposure to the weather than by five years of carefullservice. A plow will rust out much quicker than it will wear out; Carts and wagons well cared for will last a long time, while if exposed to the weather will last only a few years. No man who neglects to take care of his tools can make farming pay, notwitstanding he works ever so hard.

Tue relative cost of the rival great guns is an important factor in the gunnery pro- blem, and is an follows :—The Krupp steel gun of 70 tons, £22,000; Armstrong, 100- ton coiled wrought iron gun, £16,000; the Woolwich (Fraser) wrought iron cail gun, 80 tons, £10,000. Therefore two°80-ton guns of the Woolwich type can bo built for the cost of one of their German rivals, and Jeave £2,000 to the good.

Montreal Gazette: The demand for po- tatees on export account continues good, and considerable quantities keep moving forward. Sales were reported to-day of 800 bags of Snowflake at 50c per bag. Prices are firm and adyancing under an im- proved demand. ;
