she will be united in marriage to Thos.
Ball, well known in this locality.
This daring little woman faced a 3000
mile joarney, taking about 8 days, to
be true to her promise and save her
betrothed a double journey. She was
accompanied by her brother-in•law,
Jno. Nott, as far as Kansas City, from
which city she goee alone. A large
number of relatives and friends ac-
companied alias Muir to the station

expressed for her safe journey and
future happiness. Figuratively, we

By Act of Congress, approved June
19, 1878, Canadian vessels of all de
scriptione were to be permitted to
render aid - to Canadian and other
vessels wrecked or disabled in water's
of the United States contiguous to
the Dominion of Canada, when the
reciprocal privilege was extended to
vessels of the United States wrecked
in Canadian water4. The President
has not issued his proclamation that
the reciprocal privileges have been
agreed to by the two countries,
though eight years have elapsed, and
complaint is made that commerce of
the United States, especially on the
lakes and rivers of the Northwest, is
suffering great and irreparable injury
by the refusal or neglect of the Gov-
ernment ofthe Dominion to extend
the reasonable comity of privileges
eought by the United States. To
bring the matter to the desired ter-
mination, or to apply some remedy,
Representative Maybury has intro-
duced a resolution requesting the
Secretary of State to report to Oen-
gross what action our Government
hes taken to acquaint Canada with
its desire for friendly relations in re-
gard to this matter, or, it Canada has
neglected or refused to accede to the
proposition, that the secretary of
State shall inform Congress "what
legielatfon, retaliatory or otherwise,
is necessary to release our commerce
from its grievous burdens ? Mr.
Maybury has also introduced a reso-
lution looking io a renewal of romp -
roost treaty relations with British
America in reaped to free navigation
of the Great Lakes and the St. Law-
rence River and canals connected
therewith. The oiroumetanoes nn'
der which the Treaty of Washington
was abrogated have been ohanged
and modified by Limo, he says, and
unfetted trade and commerce be-
tween the United States and our
northern neighbors would be. bene-
ficial:and satisfactory to both coup•
tries.
