England, Russia and the Turks.
‘Tur telegrains aro sensationally wee | England and Rustia are sparring ; and the) world ison the qui vive for a grea’ fight. | Lately discovered intrigues on the vart of | R «sia, in both u.fghanistan and | urkey, | fo. the mortifica ion and discomf ture of| England has mde England angry; and Russia recoguizes i2 England ihe power! which always thvarts her plans for con-|

is constitutionally averse to striking the | first blow. After all, its a question if the! expectations of the world be gratified just yet.
In the telegrams, too, we note an ap- parent change of policy on the part of Eng- land towards the ‘‘sick man.” For years England has upheld Turkey through evil| and through good report. But her patience is at Inst exhausted. And no wonder. The ‘sick man” will not try to get well. The **Unspeaksble Turk” will not make an effort .o carry out the reforms he has, time after time, promised te make. And the conseg ence is, that the British Ambassador at Oonstantinople has demanded an im- mediate change for the better under a threat to send a fleet up the Bosphorus ard; practic sily to take possession of the Turkish capita! that England may herself assume the posi- tion in Asia in regard to India which Tur- key has hitherto held.

It has been decided by the Supreme Court of Canada that the Act of the Legis- lature of Nova Scotia investigating the Lieutenant Governor with the power to ap- point Queen’s Consel is ulfra vires and void; and that Her Majesty, by herself, or through the Governor General, alone can confer that dignity.

Winnipeg, during the year ending on the|
30th of September, 1879. The number of persons tried was 218. Places oi birth: Uanada, 158; United States, 09; Ireland, 7; England, 8; Scotland, 3; Germany, 2; Sweden, 1.
Mr. Fred Salters, of St. James’ Parish has raised from his market garden this sea-
gon over 30,000 heads of cabbage and cauli- |
flowers, 10,000 bunches of celery, and po- tatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, onions, turnips, &c., in quantities unknown—and all from a patch of ground a little cver ten acres. He has also sold 5,000 buuches of celery to Mr. Saunders, huckster. What he can’t grow-in the vegetable line isn’t worth growing.
Coblentz & Bro., of Emerson, sold 1,000 bushels of wheat to F. R. Sterret at 73 cents per bushel. The wheat is to be de- livered at West Lynne.
The Rat Portage North Star has the fol- lowing with reference to the late mineral discoyeries in that vicinity : ‘‘ The discov- ery of gold in the vicinity of this town, in considerable quantities, has produced a wide-spread sensation here. When it was discovered that the precious metal existed in extensive tracts, the excitement became intense, and Mr. McCallum, D. L. S., im- nediately started for Toronto and Ottawa, to which place he carries valuable speci- mens. We trust his expectation may be realized, and the enterprising discoverers amply rewarded. Silver has also been found in several places on Lake of the Wood in large quantities. office at the present time mineral specimens f the different metals, which, for richness f the pure stuff would compare favorably with any part of America, and this without any exaggeration. inot lor hold the fact that present indications point to this place as the future El Dorado of the
continent.”
