The current issue of the Ontario Ga-
zette contains a long proclamation
from the British War Office, issued by
Col. V. Briscoe, of Halifax, chief staff
officer for Canada. It, relates to the
penalties for assisting or harbouring
deserters from the British army and
navy, and for purchasing or ready-
ing the clothing and; accoutrements
of deserters.
A reward of £e, is offered for the ar-
rest
rrest of such a man, ands .£1 for inform-
ation which wilt lead to his arrest, '
The purpose of such a publication to
Ontario is probably to secure the de-
tection of any deeerter'a who may
chance to immigrate to Canada.

friendship between the American Re-
public and the British Empire," de-
clared the speaker, is one of the most
dramatic, and may become one of the
