What is known as Taylor's North-
west party passed down the L. H. &B.
en Tuesday evening, from Listowel on
their way to Manitoba. Tlie special
train conveyiug then comprised thir-
teen cars, teu of which were filled with
stock, and thirteen passenger coaches.
The latter were filled with farmers,and
their families from Southampton, Brus-
sels, Li -.towel and .Fisusall, and the ma.
jority of them from the County of Bruce.
Quite a large number came aboard at
Iiensall, and the entire party was com-

loads of horses and other live stock.
They were joined et London by a party

Russian Prison Horrors.
A Ki- ff correspondent gives the fol-
lowing account of the outbreak among
political prisoners last mouth :—The
persons under arrest in Kieffprison re-.
solved some time ago to tunnel under`
the e alts and escape. The scheme was
betrayed when the tunnel was complet-
ed and the prisoners entered, intending
to conte up through the opening be-
yond the ptisou. The precinct's sole
diers posted at the opening shot the es -
c (ping priouers as they cattle up, when
the bulk of the prisoners, terrified by
the uuise of firing, remained in the
oe1,. Soldiers were send from behind
and the unfortunate wretches, caught
be,weett the two fires, were all shot
down. The prt'ceedingsseemed to give
the officials much amusement, and the
Kieff prison has been nrai'ed and dec-
orated. Quite in keeping pith this is a
statement published by the Rnssian
Cbspiein in the Central Prison at
Chark"ff. I3e declated that offive hund-
red persona set;tined in that ln'ison,,
two hnlydred died rritllin four months,.
Otte of the heaviest charges mettle by
the Nihtlists agaiest the Russian offi-
cial sdmirai•strati'ur was the brutal treat-
ment of prisoners, in consequence of
wi•ich many were dying and driven
mad.
"What are you g to do about it"
Because the penalties of physitrlogi-
cal stows are not executed speedily, some
fancy they ale void. But when the
systeru b cake down, and almost hope-
less cnmlrlication8 arise, which the fam-
ily physician, by retrials of his limited
expe ieuce, fails to relieve, the pertiu-
entry of the above inquiry is appttieut.
Many remedies have beeu specially pre-
pared for these cat.ee, and many physi-
cians are bidding for their patronage..
As before malti!1g a pnrcllase of land,'la

carefully investigate- the claims of any
physician ,ffsriag to treat chronic dis-
eases. Dr. Pierre's Family Medicines
are well known, and effected mauycnrea
where eminent physicians have failed,
yet t r accommodate surgical and com-
plicated case:', and those desirous of
being restored speedily, Dr. Pierce has
erected an elegant sanitarium, aty a
oast of nearly half a million dollars.
No institution in the world offers ad-
vantages superior to those tound in this
establishment. Half ascore of physi-
cutis are in attendance, several of whnu
have been prominently connected with
leading Ameriol►n aud European Hospt-
tals. Every improved facility for llas-
terliug it cure that a liberal expenditnre
of money could secure ci' a here be found.
