82 Tompkins Market, 6th Street, New York. Vollowing is the clipping referred to : MONTREAL, Feb. 5.—It has long been suspected,

but for private reasons kept qviet, that there has been some mismanagement in the printing and

lengraving department of the Dominion of Can- lada ones andtwos. Why this secret has been s0

jong kept from the public has now leaked out. rhere has been in New York for the last 5 months two of the smartest, quickest and most intelligent of the Canadian detectives, but their efforts met with no success, for these New York scoundrels carry on their business in such a clever, quiet manner that the best informed people would take them for gentiemen of high standing in society, for they certainly are as polished a set of villians as ever lived. One Montreal detec- tive of the British American Bank Note Com- pany used his best endeavors to ferret out this rious work, bat his efforts met with but little

i suecess. It seems very strange, but it is true,that tt base scoundrels have in some mysterious,

accountable manner obtained exact imitations

of the Dominion of Canada plates, from which it

is supposed they have printed from $800,000 to $900,000 in ones and twos, and perhaps more, as it

'is known or at ieast suspected that there is in

circulation in the different provinces at least

$400,000, but so extraordinary fine and perfect is the work done itis impossible to distinguish it ; from the genuine, or detect those using U, as it is

uspected that our smartest bank clerks and nk tellers have taken in thousands of dollars in this spurious money and paid it out again without etecting it, for everything on the notes are as ar the genuine as itis possible for skill to yet it: engraving, printing numbers, coloring figures aud skrnatures all seem wonderfully and mar- vellousiy complete, Now the question is how id these scoundrels get into the confidence of 1e trusted ones in the British American Bank Note Company. The question has puzzled the tectives. One thing is certain, the secret is well and faithfully kept, but it is hinted at and surmised the thing was done with the liberal use of American goid, The question comes again, t is to be done to unearth this bold and suc- wsfni fraud? The detectives have given it up,

1 a ti

| for they cannot distinguish the genuine from the

it issue, and the officials seem powerless natter, and those that are using it are safe : nble, for the notes pass from hand to hand

maiter up in a few words, they thatarein the scheme are making money safe and sure, and are wetting rich fast, for these bold nefarious rogues seem Well supplied with Dominion ones and twos, and but little possibility of ever bringing them to justice,so secretly do they cover their tracks and carry on their base work.

LEPTERS VO THE EDITOR,

‘The Marriage Ring.”

Srr,--To the expressed sentiments of others | would desire to add my own in thanking you for the ‘‘sermons” published, for several weeks past, in each Saturday’s issue of Tuk Examiner.

The sermons of Talmage, rich iu the glowing imagéry of the poet, staunch in the teachings of an earnest practical Christian- ity, and admirabie in their presentation of trne religion in the beautiful and cheerful garb which she is so well entitled to wear,

none; and are specially prized by those

of ill-health, from attending the services of

‘The admiration expressed by the great preacher for Scotland's favorite poet, and

| his quotations from the same may recall to 'some of your readers another occasion upon

which these lines were usec. It was the jubilee of Dr. John Anderson, the celebrat- ed Divine; and a special celebration there- of was held in the great City Hail of Glas- gow, whero an immense concourse of people had gathered to do honor to the aged pastor. COlergymen of all denomin- ations thronged the platform, and one after the other came forward to address the

A breathless silence overspread the hall, as its thousands of occupants bent forward to catch every tone of the voice which was wont to sway the multitude. Quietly advanced the distinguished scholar, and gently placing his hand upon the sil- ver hair, recited :

to build our road, and in concluding his letter “P. E. Islander” remarks: “It is therefore to be hoped that we have heard the last of the Dominion having had to build our railway.” With regard to the non-fulfillment of the Terms of Union, he remarks that we have been heavy losers and concludes with tho rather siguificant threat that “before long we Shall know who will indemnify us.”

~-A letter was read before the His- torical Society of Halifex, written by Judge Isaac Duchamps, who resided in Windsor previous to 1755. <A copy of this letter fell isto the hands of the late Judge Williams, from whom it was obtained by Dr. Akins, an inde

fatigable collector of historical re- cords, The Iatter describes the agricultural methods of the Acadi-

anus, who, it appears, raised in one year enough wheat in the township of Horton aud vicinity to feed themselves and leave & surplus of 6,000 bushels for export. They did their ploughing late in the fall and sometimes as early in the spring as February, frequently sowed their wheat in the slush which covered the ground 1» winter, but never later than the first of April. The dyked marshes yielded 16 to 18 bushels per acre and the land was worth £10 to £12 per acre.

the beautiful sight of filial love, as the | talented son of the pious father, in homage | to his sire, flang his own grandeur of intel- | lect aside by preferring Burns’ simple lay, | had appealed to the hearts of all ; and tears | welled up and rolled over the countenances | of many, even of those whom the profound- jest logic and most* powerful oratory had often failed to affect.
