WHAT THE AGITATORS DESIRE.
The Observer, in a leading article,
save that what the Irish malcontents
desire is the repeal of the union. If
the most extreme proposals of the Land
Leaguers were to be carried luta effect
the popelar agitation against English
rule would lose nothing of its intensity.
It is well nigh idle to hope that Irieh
dis)offeotioi can be removed by remedial
legislation. Our interest and duty
equally bind ua to remove any real
grievenee,but we have also got to bring
home to the Irish minds the conviction
that the Nationalist 'demands are lead-
tnieeable. Things in Island are d"rift-
iug toward a Crisis, whose only possible
out twine is another Fenian rising. The
calamity can only be averted by mak-
ing it clear that uo amount of agitation
will induce England to yield to preten•
Slone inconsistent with the welfare of
the realm.
JOHN BRIGHT'S STAND CN THE IRISH (ZUES-
TION.
London Nov. 27.—John Bright is
repotted Baying that the . Ministry did
not decide to do anything defiuite to
reform Ireland. He auounces that lie
himself is in favor of raising forces to
maiutaio order in Ireland, providing a
measure authorizing the nee of force
is accompanied by a bill revising the
land tenure, which he oan aprrove.
Without such it bill .he is opposed to
to coercion. Bright professes not to
fear the prevailing disorder in Ireland,
and expresses the belief that the excite-
ment is expending, itself. Brightdeeiares
that the Government are all as rn-tich
opposed to coercion as hrmself,and are
devoting all their energies to draftiug a
land tenure BilI,which will be the most
beneficieut Irish legislation ever brought
before an English Parliament. The
immediate cause of Lord Landsdowne's
flight from his Berry estates to Eng•
;laud is not announced, but is sup-
posed it was hasteued by threatening
letters.

A party who put up at Dunleys
hotel, Strathroy, as man and wife, left
early next morning. The lady took a
nice gold watch and chain. It was
shortly after missed. They .were fol-
lowed, the watch brought back, and
the guilty parties let go -although a
duly authorized constable had the mat-
ter in hand. Wasn't this compromis-
ing a felony ?
One of the late victims at Stellarton
minas, was it Swede, who 20 years ago
left the home of his parents, and all
tbat time allowed the impression to re-
main on their, and his only sisters
mind, that ho was not in the land of
the living. Recently, however, be
wrote home to say he had some money
saved, and they might now expect aeon
to See him at the old homestead. c The
joy of that mother, father, and sister
was very great. Their letter in reply
was one of extravagant joyfulness.
Now alas. an escaped companion has
written to that family, statiug that he
' fell n viotirn to his filial desire for their
comfort, and at the post of duty.
A case of the most brutal character
in the treatment cf an orphan child has
just come to light on Monday. Some
months ago, a farmer named `Thomas
Markham, township of Marybnro, Wel-
Jiugtou county, got oue of Mies Mc,
Pherson's proteges to raise, and the
former put the .child, aged rine, to the
most laborious work, requiring the
strength of an able-bodied than, On
his failing to do this, he was cruelly
beaten and systematically abused, and
at times half starved, his back showing
the stripes leid on by a vigorous hand.
He wits finally turned out of doors,
and his feet, hands and ears were bad-
ly frozen. One foot wit' probably have
to be amputated. His criesattracted
the attention of some charitable, neigh-
bors, by wIurni he has been properly
eared for anti glothed. 'An actioti for

FLOSS-TRICKETT BOAT RACE -
THE LATTER WINS EASILY ---,THE RACE TO
BE ROWED oVEii ON ACCOUNT OF A FOUL.
London, Nov. 29. --Trickett beat,
Ross easily by four lengths, but in con-
sequence of a foul at Hammersmith
the empire declared they must row
/pain. The match was for X400, over
trio Thames championship course, from
the Aqueduct to a ship at Mortlake..
It is said neither Rosa nor Trickett
were in very good trim, but they did
good work on Saturday. Two to one
was freely offered on Ross, but with-
out takers. The attenaauoe was very
thin. The Sportsman. says neither
Trickett nor Ross were in very good
condition, Ross had the Surrey aide.
The start was a good One. Ross im-
mediately went a length or more ahead,
and rnaiutaiaed this lead to Hammer-
smith, when a foul occurred, Trickett's
scull touching Ross' boat. It was a
good race after this to the top of Ches-
wick Eyot, where Trickett took the
lead, and at Barnes' Bridge rowed
right away from Ross, who was beaten.
Trickett finishing an easy winner by
four lengths.
Trickett and Ross are to row again
at 2.30 p. tn. ou Saturday. The time
of the race to -day was 30 mittates 23
seconds. The tide wag very poor.
London, Nov. 30. -;The Sportsntri
thinks the Ross -Trick tt snatch was a
lamentable exhibition. There was
something radically }wrong with the
oarsmen. Trickett wee very far from
enjoying robust health. Even as late
as Sunday night he had consulted a
doctor, as he was feverish. He was
slightly tetter on Monday, but appear-
ed. haggard and ill at the start, and his
conduct showed he was laboring un-
der heavy difficulties. Nobody can
possibly doubt that Ross did not dis-
play his true form. It was painful to
witness •how lie elategged after pass•tug
the soap works, and he, proceeded as if
regularly used up. He was not ill,
but affected by the climate. Ho wast-
ed much force by not having a rudder,
and had to make tremendous exertions
to keep his boat straight.
Two freight trains of the Grand
Trunk made a bad smash np near Wal-
ton ou the 24th, one ran the other too
closely, hence the smash. A. brakes -

LOSS OF THE STEA.ttlER SJMCOE.
NRnicIED IN LAKE HURON, ALL HANDS
PROBAALY LAST.
Another shocking event must be
added to the already large record of
serious marine disasters during the
season of 1880. Another steam vessel
has gone to the bottom, carrying down
with her all on board, comprising, as
near as can be judged, eighteen per-
sons, Tue news of this latest disaster
tvas conveyed by a private dispatch
from Cheboygan, Mich., in the Straits.
of Maelcinac, to the local agent of the
New England Trausportation Com-
pany yesterday afternoon. The des-
patch announced the arrival of the
propeller Canada, commanded by Capt.
Binh, who reported having passed off
Michael's Bay,Lake Huron, a quantity
of wreckage belonging to the propellor
Simcoe, iuoluding the pilot -house of
the craft, bearing her name. Among
the wreckage was the desk of the Cap-
tain of the Simcoe. This Capt. Kish
picked up, and now has on board of
the Canada. No allusion is made in
the despatch to the discovery of any
survivors, or of any b ulies of victims.
and, in the absence of intelligence to
the contrary, it must be taken for
granted that all on board perished
when the Simooeweut down. Michael's
Bay, off whish the wreckage was dis-
covered, is an indentatton of the Great
1lauitou Inland, and distant upwards
of 100 miles in an easterly direction
from the Straits. Great Manitoulin
Island is but sparsely settled. There-
fore if any of the crow of the ill-fated
steamer succeeded in effecting a land-
ing on its rods -bound coast, it is yet
hardly time to obtain tidings from
them. Thele may be sutvivors but
tho disaster occurred during the violent
stale and bitter cold weather on Satur-
day night and Sunday, November 20th
and 21st, when the -spray oongealed in-
stantaneously upon everything ib touch-
ed and human beings could not live
long in open boats under such condi-
tions. The Simcoe left Chicago for
Collingwood on 'Thursday,` the 18th
inst., with a full cargo.

Capt. R. Hill, au old and experienced
lake navigator, commanded the pro-
peller. Including Capt. Hill the crew
numbered eighteen. It is not known
that there were any passengers ou
board, although the propellor was pro-
vided with passenger accommodations.
That the vessel foundered "at sea" is
clearly proveu by the fact that the
upper works and other wreckage were
eucountered by tho Canada while steer-
ing her ropier coarse to the Straits.
A dangerous reef of rocks sets out for
a distance of three and one-half miles
from the Great Manitoulin Island, just
south of Michael's Bay. Had she ran
upon this reef and been dashed in
pieces the wreckage would have beau
driven upon the beach by the action of
the wind and waves. And in the event
that a portion of the wreckage was
carried out into the lake it would have
comprised portions of the hull and
upper worlcs alike. Therefore thefind-
ing of portions of the upper works alone
serves as convincing proof that she
sprung a leak and sunk in deep water
some distance from the land.
tl'lie history of the Simcoe is a brief
but disastrous ono. She was built as
a steambarge at Chatham, Ont., by
Hysior 8t Ronald, 1872, and christened
the Mary Robertson. In 1673 while
bound down from Milwaukee with a
cargo of 17,000 bushels of wheat, she
caught fire in the Straits of Mackinac
and consumed to the water's edge.
The burning bulk drifted upon Graham
shoal, where the fire smoldered for
days among the grain. The hull was
afterwards rescued from the Ireef and
rebuilt by a Georgian Bay firm, who
employed the rejnuevated Mary Robert-
son in the lumber trade. In 1877, or
thereabout while completing a cargo of
lumber in Parry Sound, she caught bre
oleo more, and burned to the water's
edge. This time the hull was again
rescued, rebuilt, and the machinery re-
paired; and, in order to wipe out the
previous unfortunate history of the
craft, she was rechristened the. Simcoe.
The result shows, that even this subter-
fuge did not release her from the grasp
of the destroying hand of relentless
Fate. It clung to her even more de-
terminedly than ever, nor relaxed its
grip until the shapely form was con.
vetted into a wreck, and, with all on
nnard, buried at the bnttnni of Like
Herne. Snob is the history of the
