It is probable that a bill will be

will extend the time for training for
12 days, It is also probable that

LEVEL CROSSING MEASURE.
Mr. Kemp presented a petition
from the corporation of the city of
Toronto against the level crossings

in cities and towns, also to reduce
the rate of speed of railway trains

asked that statistics be prepared
showing the number of accidents an-

METIS OF Tee NORTH WEST,
•I
Mr. LaTliviere, of Provencher, call-
ed attention to the seventh bulletin
issued by the Census Bureau, in
which the Metis of the North-West
are described as Indians. Mr. La-
Riviere pointed out that while these
men wereproud of their Indian
blood, still et the same time they
do not wish to be described as In-
diens, because they are not. He did
not wish to provoke a discussion on
the question, but he mere] desired
1 Y
to point out the difference in order
that officials of the department
P

I needed her help to assort 0lutlre0

We were by ourselves, and had not

"Come, this will never do. What

"Suppose the governor' were to come

She, f(((ever, continued to

"You really must be quiet, ' lnnd

with a little asperity,steady

"Of course," 1 answered, as cheer-

"But. my child, )vadum, my ('aur

Next morning, bePo'o going on
K
duty, I received by post a small
wooden box. On opening it I found
a Mardis of banknotes and a letter,
the notes being in 50s to the value
b
of one thousand pounds, at sight of
which m knees shook under mo, the

was a predicament ; but I soon re-

Another day passed, and I daft her
once more. All that night it was
foggy, and next morning I was. to
ivy consternation informed that No.
18 had escaped during the night,
having loosened the bars of her win-
dow, and, being a slender woman.
had squeezed tluough on to the
sloping woof of a Mudding, down
which she had crept, thence'down a
ladder which had been left by the
painters; and being then in the open

fd the prison, she had taken
d et 'to the wall, on gaining
the top of which some help had been
afforded from the outside, possibly
by a rope ladder. There all trace
was lost.
Of course I was examined with
others, before the governor. but no-
thing could bo elicited, at which I
was much relieved and thankful, and
i never enjoyed getting home more
than did that night.
Matters went on as usual, and Ichoice

seemed to care nothingfor them-
one morning, about six weeks
later, I received a bulky package,
addressed in a lady's hand, bearing
the Canachan postmark. I broke the
seals quickly and found, to my •i»-
tense surprise, bank notes again
equal to one thousand pounds. The$
letter inclosed explained every-
