At a numerously attended meeting
of Riel's defence committee last Fri-
day night, at Quebec, 11 was decided
to call a public meeting after vespers
in St Roaehs to organize a public
subscription to defray expenses, as

A Niagara Fall dispatch says:—In
October last a large quantity of man•
ufaatured lumber and tins, situated

were owned by Goo. P. Moore, wore
set on fire and burned up. This

$5,000, and although every endeavor
was made to discover the perpetrators
of the arson it was not until yesterday

said the ladies of Toronto, who are
reported as getting np a testimonial
for Pritchard and Blondin, the sup-
posed friends of Mrs, Gowanlock and
Mrs. Delaney, while in Indian captiv-
ity, are working upon a mistaken
idea of real fact. The truth is, that
those men purchased the two oapbive
women for their own vile purposes,
and were only dofeated in their in-
tentions by the resoluta conduct of
their victims. Foiled in their baso
plans, they made literal slaves of
them during their captivity.

attractions in the eyes of the crowds
who visited the museum on Derain-.
ion Day. This morning it was dis-
covered that the nugget was missing.
The look had been carefully out out
of the woodwork and cocoas to the
precious contents of the case was
gained thereby. It now turns out
that the enterprising burglar had his
labor for his pains, as the supposed
nugget was merely a junk of plaster
of Paris neatly gilded over, and was
got up aa a facsimile of a celebrated
nugget found some years ago iu
Australia,

gaged in investigating the mystery

The troops at Battleford wore now
waiting for the snivel of the 65th Bat-
talion from Fort Pitt, when all would
start together. It would taste the
steamer at least six days to reach
Grand Rapids from Fort Pitt, and
there would thou bo a march of four
miles and a transfer to barges anct
steamers. The time to be taken from
Grand Rapids to Selkirk would largely
depend on the weather, but if it were
favorable, it would take three or four
days, but probably more, From Sel-
kirk to Port Arthur would take ono
day more, and thence to Toronto an-
other two days, This would be under
the most .extraordinarily favorable
conditions. •
