Mrs. Gibbs detained him at the deums allowing the child to slip out the back ,way to the house of a barber named .David Linden. Following her to that falace, •the father was refused any in- lormation and ordered off his property, .the barber saying that he was tres- passing. Foulds obeyed the order. In reply to a letter of cher father's 'written, before this occurrence, asking her to come to Landon and attend the Acadeviy of the Sacred Heart, the 11 - year -old child wrote tical she did. not want to come to London, vaud that she ,would not attend any Catholic „chool. She was quite satisfied with the educa- tion she was receiving in Wardsvilie, which would fit her for her cho en. oc- cupation, that of high school teacher. Foulds, in his afidavit, says that he .wishes his 'daughter educated in the Catholic religion, which he considers tulle only true faith. His daughter, he alleges, is hems taught that his reli- ggion is a, false and superstitious one, e as afraid the, Iris daughter will be •taken outside the jurisdiction of the court.

London, Feb. 20. -"Last year we sent 4,000 emigrants to Canada, this year we expect to send. 10,000. We have not had twenty complaints." Such was the testimony in Gen. Booth's address before the Colonial Institute on immigration to -night. He declared that a million people were on the verge of starvation in England, and argued that emigration would remedy this condition. "We pre- fer the British flag," are said,' "but up to the present that flag has not dealt very generously with us. We think we deserve greater confidence than has been shown by colonial friends who have heaped opprobrium on our heads for wanting to dump scum on colonial shores. Surely they who in their own opinion are the pink of creation, who possess a country unequalled in .;his world, could afford to be more generous. The mother country emigrants will be poor, but I guarantee good average hon- esty, industry, and sobriety. I have had better offers outside the British flag than under it, but I feel that within the four walls of the empire there should be room enough. Canada came forward to meet our offer and has given us the readiest • reception, for which we are grateful now, • "Private syndicates are approaching " PRTS URG lSE01i LPUN HED THE PASTOR. i ') UTICA BARBER BADLY MAULS REV, OTTO VON BUEREN.

Murch more ice than last year will be stored, as the houses have been enlarged. There need be no fear, he says, about lack of ice. Ileeeafter work will be done at night and also on Sunday, if necessary. Should by any chance the harbor ice go out before enough is stored, ice can be brought in from North Frontenac.

They have been reap- ing three thousand tons per day of ice fron'i eight to twelve inches thick. The houses in which the ice for cocain is stored are all filled. Those in. which do- mestic ice are placed are about half full. This ice is cut twelve hundred feet from shore. Farmers conic to the lake for ice, drawing it home in wagone, an unu- sual thing.

London Times Talks Plainly as to Ger- many's Attitude. London, Feb. 26. -The Times editorial- ly remarks: "We have been recently asked to believe that Germany desires to be on good terms with ourselves, and it has been instinctively felt that Ger- many's conduct at Algeciras would be a test of the sincerity of the professions. We can discover in her conduct no re- gard for British sensibilities, friendships or interests. On the contrary, we see a stirring up of strife, for no intelligible reason; a menace to European tranquili- ty, which is our first interest; a cause- less menace to a nation with whom. we are on terms of close friendship, and a flat refusal to allow our fellow -country- men in Morocco the most ordinary guar- antee for their lives and property. Fair speeches will count for nothing in view of actions so glaringly discordant. Utica, Feb. pastor of Reverend of ZionLutheerian von Bueren, p Church, in this city, was attacked again. badly injured by Charles Williams, a barber, in the local postoffice late this afternoon.

Williams, until recently or- ganist in Zion Church.

Subsequently the Lutheran synod of Nets York State took up the matter of the charges against tho pastor and summoned him to appear before it, but he ignored the order and Zion Church was ascordingly cut off as a communi- cant of the general body. The matter rested there turtil this af- ternoon when Williams entered the postoffice and finding Von Bucren there writing a letter, went, for him tooth and nail. The first blow splashed the minister's glasses, sending several pieces of the shattered glass into the latter's eyes. 131inded and dazed. Von Bueren was next sent to the stone flooring by a cou- ple of smashes on the nose. He had no chance to defend himself in his blinded condition and was at the merey of his assailant until bystanders interfered. The Reverend Mr. Von Bueren has been pastor in Zion Church in this city for several years. He came here from Buf- falo. GUELPH'S POPULATION.
