In the face of phenomenal commer- cial depression hi the neighboring Republic, it is satisfactory to know. that Canada enjoys sueh a measure of :financial soundnessandcommercial prosperity. A, most gratifying exhibit Is furnished by the latest published bulletin of trade returns for the past aix months. They give the valuation of exports at $77,504,390, thus showing an increase over the• corresponding perisd of the previous year, of $3,247. 683 The imports for the same period show an increase iii round numbers of bag a million dollar% These figures must convince the most sceptical that Canada's commercial standing iesound, and that our people enjoy a remarkable degree of prosperity. Only the other slay some • iii natured pessimist from Manitoba cabled to England a message stating that the North West was in a 'very depressed condition. This, how aver, has been neutralized first by a public speech, made by Sir Chas. Tup- per, our High Commissioner, who is ever on the outlook for the interests of Canada; and, still later; the evil report cabled from Manitoba has been flatly contradicted by Mr. Van Horne, presid tient of the C. P. R., who reports that western country to be in a fairly good condition. The very fact mentioned by Mr. Van Horne that the farmers are .holding their wheat in expectation of higher prices, is proof of that. When to all thisis added the hopeful prospect just in sight of extended commercial relations with other ccuntries, and. particularly the opening up and early developmeut of trade with Australia and the antipodeans, through the re- cent mission of Hon. MacKenzie Bowel!, minister of trade and commerce, which is already bearing good fruits -it isnot too much to assert that we seem to be en the eve of unexampled prosperity. And we have no doubt, that the four maembeis of Cabinet—including the able Minister of finance—who are now busily oe.cupied in arranging the new or improved tariff for the special bene- fit of farmers and some other classes in the community, will give at the ap- proaching session of Parliament a good account of themselves. Only let our Conservatives be true to their political antecedents, aroidinn all needless .side - issues, and we predict an era of pros- perity for Canada that will excite the envy of foreigners and call forth the gratitude and admiration of all true British subjects, News of' tb.e Week in Brief. ]E itni..a37 .r =aviary N6th.

Jacksonville, Jan. 25.—The 'prize fight between Corbett and Mitchell for a purse of $20,000 and the champion- ship. of the world 'came off yesterday, notwithstandiug the protests of Gover- nor Mitchell that it would not be fought in that State.. The areua was placed about a mile from the town. A squad of militia was present, but the men were unarmed and their intentions were evidently peaceful. Over 2,000 spect- ators were present, When the men were called to the centre at 2 20 p. Mitchell, the English pugilist, looked deminutive beside the Californian champion. The fight commenced at 2 30 p. m„ New York time, In the first round the honors wereequally divided, Mitchell showing, if anything, a little advantage - He started in by getting in one un Corbett's neck; Corbett laud- ed right and left. and just when time was called Mitchell succeed -ed in laud ing a good body blow. to the second round Corbett uppercut his man and Mitchell landed on the ribs, and as Mitchell came up Jim caught him on the head, staggering him. Corbett uppercut Mitchell again. Mitchell got in twice on Corbett's neck, then Corbett floored Mitchell cleverly and knocked him down The gong saved Mitchell from a knock. -out. In the third round Mitchell came up rather groggy. Cor- bett rushed at him, swinging his right and left heavily on Mitchell's neck, and. Charlie went down. He took the full time to rise, and then Corbett rushed at him like a tiger. Mitchell clinched ; Corbett threw him off and floored him with a stiff facer.., Again Mitchell took allthe time to rise and when he ad- vanced to the centre Corbett smashed him square ou the nose. Mitchell reeled and fell on his face helpless. The re- feree counted 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; 9. Mitchell was knocked out. The referee then declared Corbett winner of the match and champion of the world: Mitchell's face was covered with blood' an.d he was carried to his corner in a helpless condition. The time of the fight was nine minutes. 'It was all Corbett's fight, though Mitchell made a show in the first round. The mendid not shake hands at the beginning of the fight. The referee called upon the men to do so, but neither responded, Soon after the return of Corbett and Mitchell to Jacksonville both were arrested on warrants charged them with having committed the offense of fighting by agreement. The men were both taken to the court house, where their bail was fixed at $7,500 each, Bonds for their appearance were furnished. •. Senators In the Barber's Chair. A workman in the senate barber shop in Washington is credited with saying that the senators aro "the most peace- ful" men to shave he has ever met, though some of thein are particular. One senator, he says, he has twice shav- ed three times in one day, not because his beard grows 80 fast, but becauss the senator ''likes the sensation." Another senator "has a pair of little side whis- kers of which he is fond and to which he devotes any amount of attention." Ile did not reveal all this to any sena- tor, and to the helpless man to whom it was communicated he said with a de- epairing tone, "Yon know we are not allowed to talk to our senatorial' cus- tomers unless they talk to us first.

IT COMES FROM ONE WHO RYAS RESTORED TO LIFE; MR. JOHN R. LOXG 1 Traditiou tells us that the •firat white men to set foot upon where now stands the flourishing city of Hamilton, were La Salle and his voyageurs, who ex• p ored the head waters of Lake Ontario in 1669, when the "forest primeval" was in an unbroken state; and the red man in unditsurbed possession,' The first authentic record of the location of a white settlement on the present city's site, gives the name of Robt. Land as the pioneer, and the date as 177e. It is often difficult to verify traditional his- tory; but from what we know of this particular section' of Canada, we are inclined to accept the story as handed down to us. In this issue of our paper we are per- mitted (for the benetit of our readers) to give in a condensed form, a wonder- ful history as related by a • gentleman. well and favorable known in Hamilton and in many other cities and towns of Ontario. Mr. John R. Long, of 19 Burlington Street West, Hamilton, is a gentleman who has come very prominently before Hamiitonians this year, as the publish- er of the first Guide Book ever issued for the purpose of advertising the "Am- bitious City," In this work Mr.' Long has scored an immense success,' and •given suck a degree of satisfactiou, that he has been preyailed upon to publish an enlarged addition in May of the present year. Now for Mr. Long's interesting story true in every particular, and detai,, and related with a view of benefitting thousands in every section of this broad Dominion. We may not remark t'at thise referent* b •rief story has:a spial refere c to a critical period in Mr, Long's life was in danger and despaired of; when all hope and deliverance seemed to van- ish, when; the grim reaper stood ready with outstretched arms to r:laim his life. From Mr, Long's letter we give the following extracts;—"I was so terribly afflicted with dyspepsia, that I cane near dying. When sick with this aw- ful disease I had constantly a heavy load on my stomach which was as sore for breath, sick all over, my system and mind rain low, my kidneys out of order, pain everywhere,costive, always tired and weak, indeed, so weakat in- tervals that I had to leave my duties to rest; and as a consequence, 1 lost my situation, a light but responsible one.
