We like to hear of smart boys like Will. Stewart and Fred Bell outting 10 oorde of wood in 9 hours, but as it hap. paned it was 10 oorde in two weeks, so they most be lively young men. E. Nialtoi, 6th line, had a wood bee on Friday of last week and a dance at night. Hugh Hanna had a wood bee on same day and also a hoe-down at night. This looks a little like opposition but Edward says he got the best of it. Business is almost at a standstill just now owing to last week's storm and the blocked condition of the sidelines.

The text of the speech from the throne in commotion with the opening of the Dominion Parliament was as follows ifonoraiao Gentlemen of the Sonata— Gentlemen of the Hone 0f Commons :-- I -I have observed with great pleasure the remarkable advance in the polibioal importance and materiel prosperity of Canada during the year that has just closed. The loan recently effected shave that the credit of Canada has never stood so high in European markets and affords reasonable grounde for expecting that the burdens of the people will, in the near future, be materially reduced by a substi. tution of a much lower rate of interest on our indebtedness than that which now exiete. I congratulate you upon the exceeding. ly oordlal reception a000rded to the repro. sentatives of Canada at the Jubilee oere• moniale, and also upon the warm ap- preoiatiou manifested everywhere throughout the mother country in refer- en0eto the oonduet of Canada in materi- ally reducing the rate of duty upon goods imported from the United Kingdom into the Dominion. The action of the Imperial Government in denouncing the treaties with Germany and Belgium also affords most satis- factory ovideuce of their desire to born - tate your efforts to promote the closest possible commercial relations between Canada and the reit of the Empire, and will, I trust, contribute materially to the development of Imperial trade. 1:i Ton 001.0 FIELDS. The extraordinary gold dieooverieo recently made upon the Yttlton and its tributaries appear likely to result in an enormous influx of people into that region and have compelled the Government to tape prompt action for the preservation of law and order in that distant and al. most inaccessible locality, and measures will be laid before yen for that purpose. A oontraot has bean entered into, subject to your approval, for the oom- pletion at the earliest possible moment, of a system of rail and river 001)10311111 - Dation throughout Canadian territory with the Klondike and principal 'gold. fields, which itis expeoted will secure to Canada the larger portion of the lucrative traffic of that country. The benptifulharvest with which we have been favored by a benevolent Providenoe has contributed greatly to the increase of oar prosperity, and I am glad to note that the trade and com- merce of the Dominion, and more especi- ally the amount and values of her primal. pal exports have increaved greatly daring the past 18 months, and there is good reason to believe that this improvement may be maintained, if not augmented, during the remainder of the present year. SUPPRESSION OF SWEATING. I observe witli pleasure that cartain Goverumemt contracts recently let con- tain provisions calculated to suppress the sweating system. Gentlemen of the House of Commons The °amounts of the past year will be laid before you. The estimates for the attending year will likewise be plated upon the table at an early date. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate :— Gentlemen of the House of Commons Measures will be submitted to you re- speoting superannuation, the repeal of the present franohise cot, and a plebiscite on the question of prohibition. These and other measures I commend to your earnest consideration, invoking the Divine blessing upon the important labors on whioh you are again entering. General News.
