figure within the anneunt talked of
by certain English stearnehiP lines
namely, a subsidy of 51,300,000

the Canadian Pacific, Company,
should a steamship contract be
awarded to it, to make special ar-
rangements with the Minister of
Railways for the transportation of

there is no doubt that this could be
easily accomplished. The Times edi-

A Sault Ste. Marie despatch says:
Six months in jail, during
his wife has left for Montreal, with
his children, has proven to be toe
much for Mr. Valincourt, and his
mind . has given weer uncler the
strain. From a strong, i'obust
man, Valineourt; is now a- mere
sha-
dow, No healthier man than he
could be foimd anywhere before last
winter when he was sitting by the
side of his sick wife, and a nutn out-
side demanded admittance. and Said
he would break the door in. unless it
was opened. The house had boon
formerly occupied by bad characters,
and Valincourt tried to tell the man
that they hadpeeved away. Crash
went the inan'e foot against the
door, and Valincoure ran and got
his revelver. and ordered the man
to 'stay out. With a volley Of oaths
the Italian started to enter the
room, anci Valincourt fired the fatal
shot. No bail is given for a ease of
this kind, or Valincourt would have
had it furnished by handreds who
thought he did perfectly eight. The
confinement and Worry have proven
too inuch for him.

able volumes and manuscripts.

The crosses in the cemetery have
burned to ashes, and the grave at -
