ARCHDEA Keap —A correspondent of the Cornishman of Peozance, writing on the 10th of January, says: ‘‘I hear that a more

enjoyable evening than the ‘‘Brethren of the mystic tie” passed on Wednesday under the roof of Host Mitchell has not been spent for a long time. The absence of some—notabiy of Bro. ©. Read, the treasurer af Mount Sinai for many years—and the domestic ~fflictions which made absentees, were regretted. But the presence of Bros F. Boase and S. H. James, the admirable speech of Bro. and Arch- deacon Read, the interesting addresses gener- ally, and the admirable singing, combined to blend an excellent repast with ‘‘a feast of reason and a flow of soul.” ee

The rebels did not long stand befure the murderous English fire, but were repulsed with heavy loss. Five officers and 250 men were left dead upon the field, and lorge numbers were wounded. About the English losses few details have yet been received, It is known, however, that Cameron, special correspondent Loudon Daily Standard, and Mr. special correspondent of the Post, were killed.

remainder of the present campaign. Gen. Lord Wolseley considers the deprivation of his services a national loss. Gen. Stewart's force on leaving Gakduli wells consisted of about 2,000 picked fighting men. Wol- seley characterizes Stewart as the ablest soldier and most dashing commander he ever knew. Stewart’s forces are now in communication with Gordon, who says there is no need to hurry to relieve him as he could have held out for years.

‘Opening of Parliament,

The Speech from the Throne, OrTrawa, Jan, 29.

Hon.

Gientlemen of th

Gentlemen of the Senate. Hiouse of Commons.

In again meeting you for the despatch of business, I have to congratulate you on the abundant harvest with which Providence has blessed our country, and upon the general condition of the Dominion and its commercial prosperity, although it has somewhat shared the depression which has prevailed in Great Britain and the neigh- boring Republic. I trast that the present year will be one of peace and progress. The flow of population into Manitoba and the Northwest territory, although impeded by varions and unexpected causes, has been

substantial, and the testimony of members | other |

of the British Association avd visitors to the Northwest last summer, and the well being,contentment,and hopeful- ness of the settlers is most gratifying. A bill introducing into these territories a

more simple aud economical system for the |

transfer of land will be laid before you. The report of the commission for the con- solidation of the statutes .affecting the Dominion has been completed and will be submitted to you for legislative ac- tion. You are again invited to consider measures relating to the representation of the people in Parliament and for the assim- jlation of the electoral franchize in the rural districts. A provisional arrangement of matters for some time under discussion with the government of Manitoba has been entered into, and a measure confirming the same will be submitted to you 80 soon as it has been accepted by the Provincial Legislature. J deemed it expedient to issue, during the recess, a Commission to consider and report upon the whole sub- ject of Chinese immigration with reference to its trade relations, as well as to the various moral objections which have been taken to the influx of Chinese into Canada. The report of Commissioners is very nearly completed, and will be laid before you during the present session. The necessity of encouraging the speedy construction of lines of railway through the Northwest Territories has press- ed itself on my government, and yon will be asked to aid in the enterprise by liberal grants of land. Urgent representa- tions have been made by the Boards of Trade of chief towns in Canada, as well as by some of the members of commerce in Great Britain, of the necessity that exists for the adoption of some = sys- tem of bankruptcy or insolvency, giving adequate protection against undue per- formance, and your attention to this im- portant; eubject§Jis earnes ly invited, In pursuance of the vote of last session, I caused a vessel to be fitted out and de- spatched to Davis Straits and Hudson Bay in order to obtain more accurate informa- tion to the navigation of those waters, and test the practibility of the routes for com- mercial purposes. A report of the progress i the expedition duriwg last season will be laid before you. An international Exhi- bition will be opened at Antwerp during th»

iS | present year, and a Colonial and Indian

Gentlemen of the House of Commons.

The accounts for the past fiscal year, will

be laid before you. You' will find that notwithstanding the very consider- ‘able reduction in the prices and

volume of many of the leading imports the | Income has exceeded the expenditure chargeable te consolidated revenues. The | cutlenation for the ensuing year will also be |submitted. They will be found, 1 trust, to have been prepared with due regard to

I am sure that your earnest consideration will be given to the subjects [ have men- tioned, as well as to every matter which may affect the prosperity and good govern- ment of Canada.

Harmony Notes.

AN examination of Granville School was held on the 20th inst., in the presence cf the trustees and others. The children were examined in the various branches taught, and the manner i» which they ac- quitted themselves is alike creditable to them and their teacher, Miss Cavanagh, who is acknowledged to be a competent teacher, and has done considerable improve- ment during the last half year.

Quite an excitement was caused here yes: terday when it became known that a trot- ting match was to take place between Hector McPhee’s mare, ‘Lucy G.,” and D. H. McLean’s horse ‘‘Brett’ for the sum of ten dollars a side. The first heat was won by ** Lucy G.” and the second and third by * Britt.” The race was decided in favor of ‘‘Britt’ and stakes handed over without a murinur.

Much praise is due our worthy postman, Mr. Michael Campbell, for the very satis- factory manner in which he has performed his duty as mail carrier, For the last week the weather has been very stormy and cold, and the roads are very much banked up, Notwithstanding this, Mr. Campbell hae managed to have the mails here, which gives us the pleasure of receiving THE EXxaminex here every Saturday punctually.

Mr. Ronald McLean has just returned from Gloucesier, U. S., where he has pur- chased a fine tishing schooner. Mr. Me- Lean intends to send her to North Cape codfishing this spring. She will be com- toandled by Capt. Morrison.

Jeremiah McCarthy has just completed « fine dwelling. It is a wooden structure, two stories high, with zinc roof. It reflects much credit on the builder, Mr. McLeod.

The rumsellers here are having a lively time. Officers have been serving sum- monses and subpcenas. We hope those violators of the law will be sveedily brought to justice. We want to have rumselling here a thing of the past.

Mr. Thomas Croken and Philip Smith, Esq., are going to erect a starch factory on the south-west branch of Dunk River, which will be completed by the first of October next. We wish them success,

The Karl family, prominent Adventists of Crystal City, Ohio, are still looking for the end of the world. The men have thrown up their position and will not work. Their Bibles are constantly before them, and they are shut up in their house await- ing for the end tocome. There are twelve in all, men womenand children. It was rumored that one young girl, who is not a believer, is to be offered up a sacrifice. The community fears that these religious cranks will close the programme with a tragedy,and the police are watching them closely.
