Mr. Barr bad turned his horses out to water, as is Ms custom, about 6 p. m. They went to their usual watering place, a spring on the side of the road, a few rods from the track, and after drinking what they wanted, they began racing up and down the road. Upon coming to the track, one of them started to run along it, and the cattle guard being filled level with snow, the colt fell in and was endeavor- ing to get out wiieu the train, which was three boors late, struck it. Mr Barr values the colt at $110, and says if the company will not settle for the same he will see them, as they are compelled to keep their cattle guards open to pre- vent stock from getting ineo trouble. this new olio may soon the •mp sell airways and Canals was laid on the table leaking an average expense por annum the Honse of Commons on Friday last. for each inmate, with keeper and all ore it it appears that tho number of other assistants added, 836.91.

Dr. Macdonald stated that last year he advocated some reduction on this excessive taxation of oil—say from 7e. a gallon, as at present,to dc.—and he held to that opinion still. Tho oil men say they have invested $21,000,000 in this business. Parliament must do an industry of this magnitude full justice. But he would bo able to show that the oil men had exaggerated the im- portance of their industry, the number of mon employed and the capital invested. Ho quoted the oil men's statement, and said he did not think these men had been honest hi putting the figures before the country. The oil men say there are 010 teams and teams- ters employed every day h into business at 08.50 a day ; that is $055,500 in a year of 80U clays. The oil men.say there are 1,570 men at $1.50 a day, 0700,500 a year, and 500 skilled men at $2 a day, 0300,000 a year. The total wages paid is $1,602.000. Four por cent. on invested capital would amount to $872,000. 5 per cent. for wear and tear would be $1,080,000, while 2 per cent. profit would amount to 0436,000. The total amount thus paid would bo $4,050,000 a year. He would show the figures given aro intended to lead the house astray. The total value of the whole output of the Pe- trolia oil refiners in illuminating and lubri- cating oils, parafine wax, etc., was last year $1,038,000. If they have as many men employed as they say, how can they pay 04,250,000 of expenses and interest on their capital out of an output of $1,038,000? ing to promote remedial legislation in opposition to the expressed voice of au overwhelming majority of the people of Manitoba, and we hereby call upon all true Orangemen throughout the Domin- ion to uphold us in our efforts to promote civil and religious liberty, and equal rights for all before the law, in this pro- vince; and be it further resolved, that as Orangemen we have had quite enough and to spare of Sir John Thonlpson's twisting, turning, undermining and dis- torting of the British constitution, in obedience to the insolent demands of the hierarchy; and also resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the news- papers for publication."
