NOTES AND COMMENTS
The county of Pontiac, Quebec, has
been. seized by the sheriff, who will
probably levy taaee on the people to
satisfy a judgment and coats amounting
in all to about $200,000. The debt
was incurred by bonusing a railway, and
it is safe to predict that no other rail-
way will be bonused by that country
until a new set of enthusiasts have
grown to maturity and the old ones have
classed off the stage.
Says the Toronto Globe: ---
",After making the most liberal provi-
sion for education, for charitable and re-
formatory institutions, for agriculture, for
colonization roads, eta., the Ontario Gov-
erument has a surplus of several million
dollars in its treaeury-"

saki at Woodstock he would do at all

once told his Woodstock hearers that
that was the best way, to spend every
dollar for the public needs, and not
keep it locked with the moth and rust.

NO I!urther Crofter Immigration Under IMPORTANT EVENTS IN FEW WORDS
nee, Goveenmont ,Assistance,
Iserneoly, Jan. 4, -The outgoing of Lord
Salisbury's Administration, and the in-
coming of that of Mr, Gladstone, has quite
upset the policy and, plans of state aided
emigration. The secretary for Scotland
has intimated that there will be no further
crofter emigration to the Northwest under
control of the State.
The British Colombia crofter sobeme is
affected by this declaration, and as
at con-
sequence the. Crofter company, pro-
posed to establish a. Crofter colony and
provide the members with means for mak-
ing a living, which would be to the mutual
advantage of both the company' and its
settlers, is still unformed and the syndi-
cate has been compelled to obtain an ex-
tension of time of one year for its forma-
tion.
Found Frozen in the Woods.
OrrAwA, Jan. 4.—John Burns, who went
into the hospital on Saturday, had a ter-
rible experience rap the country. He
was engaged working in one of Mr. J.
R. Booth's hunber camps on the Black
river, some 110 miles from Mackey's sta-
tion on the C,P.R„ and left the camp on
December 23 with the intention of coming
home to Ottawato spend his Christmas holt-
days. He was met on the road eoming down
by John Dosser, jogging along Four days
afterwards the unfortunate man was found
standing up with, his arm around a tree
some six miles away from the camp he had
left on the 23rd. Mr, Dasserwasreturning
when he espied the unfortunate roan, and
thinking that he was dead, exclaimed,
"Why, that's John Burns, and he
is dead." '`Not dead," replied the
unfortunate man, "but nearly dead."
Ile was carefully taken into the convey-
ance and brought to Mackey's station. On
examination it was found that his legs and
ams were frozen solid. Be had been four
days and four nights exposed to the in-
tense frost without any nourishment. He
was treated in the Pembroke hospital for a
few days, and on Saturday was brought to
Ottawa. It ia feared the u nfortnnate emu
cannot recover..

Bad as Narrow Escape.
Bitim-aolin, Jan. 4.—Bugle Major Bar-
ber was handling the rifles in the Duiferin

Toronto on Thanksgiving day and the wea-

there might have been a fatality. As it
was Barber had a very narrow escape.
