THE. HURON EXPOSITOR. •
The lloydrinor-Cigneral on the Volun-
teers.
At ft- de jeuner given, to the Ottawa Volun-
teers, at which. the Governor-General was
present, his Excellency spoke as follows a--
" I am very glad to be present, more par-
ticularly that it enables me to render a due
tribute to the pluck and gallantry, and rea-
diness of the Volunteers who came forward
_
on the last occasion on which their services
were required; and it has been a cause of
gratification to me when niporting all the
events *hich have taken place - to Lord
Granville, first as regards the raid threaten-
ed in April last, - and then -with "reSpeet to
the raid which really did .take place, to. be
able to state that at the first sound of alarm,
at the first menace of invasion, the Volun-
teers who werecalled upon assembled with
extraordinary -promptitude, and enthusiasm
fo1i. the defence of their country. Their
numbers daunted those would be invaders,
and averted the so loudly t reatened clevas-
Utica which was to sweep over Canada;
and in the last instance wh n they reassem-
bled and really did attempt an invasion of
the country, their reception was too warm
for, them to coat a continuance of it; and'
they find that,in a surprisingly short space
of time, after a 'couple of volleys, in fact, .
that the prey they were exulting over was,
after all, not within their grasp, and that
the men who hadbeen sent to • defend the
frontier averenot effeminate,. but were of.
fluck and muscle, irtspired with love for
their country: We have ,L been told over
and over again, and time aftei- time, that
these who sought to invade Canada were
men drawn from all parts of the -United
States; that thay were the refuse -and- the
dregs ; the most reckless of the large cities
of the Union, and that in thousands they
would come over and occupy and devastate
Canada. These men made the promised at-
te :pt,l and the result was that not one of
them had gone further over Canadian soil
than two miles, and that not one of them
had stopped on Canadian soil one briefhour.
This is as it should be, and I have experien-
ced. very much gratification in having been
_ able to report this satisfactory - account of
the Canadian volunteers to hal: Majesty's
-GoVernment. In his speech of thanksGen.
Lindsay said :— "What I particularly
would ask you to remember now is that the
saccess of the day was due chiefly to the ac-
- curacy of the firing ; and I hope that every
volunteer will bear this in Mind, that skill
in the use of the weapon placed in his hands,
and accuracy in the management of. it,
should lie the aim of every volunteer. These
may be acquired with a very slight expendi-
ture of trouble in leisure ,moments, at social
meetings and whenever practicable. In-
deed the practice ofthe rifle has become So
all-important that it should be encomaged
by the giving of suitable rewards by the
Minister. of Militia to successful rearkamen.
With regard to the manufaetare and use of
of the rifle, .it has been said that every im-
provement has been made. Indeed, I have
been told by General Lindsay, than whom
I know no one more competent in the
world to speak on this subject, and other
conipetent judges, nothing has tended as
Bauch as the late impro-vements to augment
the defensive power, and this is. especially
the case in Canada. But befoi.e closing my
few remarks, I desire to say something of
the results of the last two months' demon-
strations. It must be most creditable and
gratifying to all parties on this side, to the
people, the department, and the militia, that
the raid, when it was last attempted, was so
easily repelled; next, it is so gratifying to
learn from the sentiment which was arous-
ed from, one end of the land to the ether at
the first sound of alarm, that the peo-
ple were satisfied, content and devot-
ed to their :country. They must be content-
ed with the freedom of their inode of govern-
ment since they rose like one man in de-
fence of their country. The people know
the liberty they possess, and it is clear that
they as. -.e proud of it, and determined to up-
hold it. And now, to sum up the conse-
quences of this expedition, here isa reliable
extract of the proceedings at the Fenian
Coancil. It is dated the 286. of May.
They call the last.raid a lamentable failure,
land they say that they have to announce a
'loss of life and war material, which has
been silently gathered together for years;
you have baffled them, and of the 'spoils of
many years' - gathering you have deprived
the enemy. (Cheers.) These are the re -
suits; and yam ha-ve also in your conduct
proved that you are prompt to meet every
hostile movement, and that you. are able to
defend Canada against any. invader. There
will be a spirit abroad in the Dominion of
increased security which cannot be too much
rejoiced in, and which spirit cannot have too
frequent repetition.
Shocking Suicide in Chatham.
A MAN CUTS HIS THROAT FROM EAR TO
EAR.
On.Friday morning at aboat 9 o'cloc& an
-elderly and resectable man named Samuel
Reid, who for some months has been board-
ing at Wallace's Farmers' Exchange, Chath-
am, committed suicide by cutting his throat
from ear to ear with a razor.The facts of the
the case, as nearly as could be learned, are
these: It appears the unhappy man, who
for some years past has Worked a leased
farm—part of the Robertson Estate—near
the village ot Blenheim, was afflicted with
tumors in the stomach and affection of the
liver, and to obtain medical or surgical as-
sistance came to Chatham some month or
five weeks ago, since which time he had
been tinder the care of Dr. Barr, one °Hale
eldest and most respected practioners. For
some time past he had been 'confined to his
room, where he seemed to have given him-
self up to despondency and downhearted
ness. Friday morning his breakfast was
taken up to him at about the usual hour,
7 o'clock, by Mr. Williafis Oliver, to whom
the unfortunate man said, • "I feel al good
deal better, but I wish I was dead. " 01-
iver, though, paid little attention to this re-
mark, and proceeded to his work. How-
ever, in theicourse of an hour or so—about
7:40 a. m.—La servant girl, passing. Reid's.
room, heard a sound resembling a man
coughing coming therefrom, and informed
Mr. T. J. Clarke, the bar -tender, of the fact.
At once Mr. Clarke, with Dr. Radley, who
-
happened to be at hand, proceeded to the
room, when they diacovered Reid's body ly-
ing on the floor of the room, his head rest -
ink, on the lower portion of the waslastand,
his throat literally cut from ear to ear, the
wind -pipe completely severea, and the poor
man quite dead. Deceased was about 60
years of age. He leaves a family, but his
wife died some titne since. In 1866 he was
a volunteer, and was on the frontier during
the Fenian raid of that year. The Planet
understands that he had served for several
years in the British army, from which he
got an honorable discharge.

A PRAYER FOR LANDLORDS. --It is not
generally known, and may therefore no be
out of place at this time to draw attention to
the fact, that in the primer of Edward the
Sxith, there is a page set apart especially
for landlords, the substance of which is con-
tained in •these words : "We heartily pray
that those who possess the grounds, pasture
and dwelling places of this earth, remember-
ing themselves to be thy tenants, may not
rack and stretah out the rent of their henri-
es and lands, nor not take unreasonable
fines and incomes, after the manner, of co-
vetous worldings ; but BO let them out to
others, that the inhabitants thereof may be
able both to pay the rents, and honestly to
live, to nourish their family and relieve the
poor. Also to consider that they are but
strangers and pilgrims in this ,world-; hav-
ing here no dwelling place, but having a.
short continuance of life, may be content
with what is sufficient, and not join house
to house, nor couple land to land, to the irn-
poverishment of others, but behave them-
selves in letting out their tenements, lands
and pastures."
Grand Trunk Ra11V-ay.
We are much pleased to notice l that our
predictions made some time back; as to the
ultimate success of the G. T. Raillwav in a
pecuniary point of view are to sthe extent
being realized. We felt assured that itsfar
seeing manager; Mr. Brydges, only required
fair play to- prove to his opponents that he
is fully equal to a proper discharge of his
highly responsible and very onerous posi-
tion. It is not -denied now that the credit
of the Company is on the incyeaae, as is pro-
ven by the high rate at which the equip-
ment bonds are being held.• The road, too,
we are glad to be able to say, is in a much
better state than,heretofore, while the steel
rails which are shortly to be laid down will
greatly improve the line. Preparations are
also being made to have the track thorough-
ly ballasted, so that the through trains may
run at a greater rate of speed than haS been
thought desirable heretofore. _
We trust the great difficulties which. this
Company has had so long to'nontend against
are being surmounted by the judicious and
persevering energy of its talented manager,
who, aJl must admit,has been • the best
abased public man in:Canada. Let us hope
that better days are about to dawn on this
road, which,- with ali its failings, has done
so much to advance the material prosperity
of this Dominion. A new-service.of trains
will come into -operation on the 13th of this
month affording the travelling community
facilities as regards speed and comfort that
they have never before experienced, on this
line at least. That these facilities along
with other improvements may be fully ap-
preciated by the public,and that the receipts
of the -road may be very materially increas-
ed is our sincere wish. —Bertin Telegraph.

them. Honor, then, to the brave Canadian
Volunteers, simple farmers and tillers of the
soil, as many of them are, yet animated by
the truest 4iirit of patriotism."

The traction of the locomotive depends
on the grip of its driving:wheels upon the
rails by friction. Hence the force -which
draws the weight of a train, at great velo-
city, is gained at ttie expense of glinding
the track by a heavy weight, which amounts
to a pounding at every stroke of the piston.
For this purpose the engine most be made
heavy in order to give it the requisite draw-
ing -power. This is why rails suffer so much
weary and break so often., and why road-
beds give out and need constant repair, for
upon these an extraordinary part of the
work comes; This method of applying
power for traction involves very great me-
chanical disadvantages and is -.from its na-
tine very expensive. And yet all out in-
genuity as a nation fails to discover any-
thing feasible to take its place. One cau-
readily understand, also, why larger engines
and broaderegauged tracks are out of the
question. Road -beds and rails calmot be
made to sustain the increase friction and
tear. On one railroad, many years ago a
solid foundation w -as made for the rails by
the use of granite blocks'. But this failed
for want of the necessary elasticity.

The snow-aheds Of the Central Pacific
Railroad, "between Nevada and California.,
cover thirty-two miles of track. They ale
placed in the exposures, where heavy snow
banks might -be expected ,to gather,' and
where there is no opportunity 'for throwing
them off to one side or the other. In the
construction of' these sheds. timbers are us-
ed 12x14 inches in size, Which in some
_places wh4re greater weights of suow are
likely, are placed so close together as almost
to touch each other; in either places they
are several feet apart, yet still so near as to
give enormous strength to the structure.
Where heavy snow -slides are likely to occur
a wall -is built up on. the outer side and heavy
timbers carried over and anchored to the
solid rock, and here the roof is corrugated
iron. It yet remains to be proven by trial,
whether even all this will be strong enough
for the purpose. The first sheds were built
of joists of the size of railroad ties, and
these were crushed in. The cost of this
work amounts to $1,750,000, It is claim-
ed for the Northern Pacific Railroad that it
will not encounter like diffichlties, as it will
pass through a latitude too cold and too dry
for.any heavy snow -fall. St. Paul's Min-
nesota for example, has but little snow at
any time.
The New York Tablet, the leading organ
of the Roman Catholic Church in .America,
in an article on the late raid, thus speaks
of the conduct of our Canadian Volunteers:
"All praise is clue to the Canadian Volun-
teers for the manner in which they met and
repelled this unwarrantable incursion of
armecl men into their Dominion. They act-.
ed as became brave men, defending their
country and their homas, and their conduct
throughout was calm, dignified, firm. and
courageous, just what it -ought to be. They
have shown to all whom. it may concern,
that they know howto defend their frona,
tiers in case of agreseion, whilst willing to
live in peace, if their neighbors will allow
