was taken, not many months ago, and
it was attached to a more feasible Bee law
than the one it is stow to form a codicil
to, it got an everlasting hoist. What
new light has 3Er.. Bishop got that he
cannot let his se ethe stand upon its own
merits as all things of a pudic nature
should. He could not in n.y opinion have
made a 'imposition better calcalated to
defeat the railway- bonus than the one he
made, and what is all this 'mete and
filmier and expense of calling a special
meetingaf the County Council when they
will have their o d nary,meeting in about
six weeks hence, w ich I think would be
time 'enough to get up such a obnoxious

Over the matter before any by-law was
forced upon them for their vote. --We

that any bonus that we could give, not

induce any sane capitalists, (and ca.pital-

Dr. Shultz and Colin Ingster, and resale -
ed in a glotiouse victory Tor the Doctor;
he standing St the head of the poll with
a majority of over 250 votes oet of about.
400 votes pelted. At Portage La Prairie
the vote is a tie; 288 votes being polled
on each side. We had quite a turn.out
to meet the Doctor on his returning from
the election, with flags tlyieg, and in fact
a big time generally. We escorted him
to his residence, when thete was consid-
erable speaking, and then went home. I
happened to be up at Fort Garry 'today
when the Ontarios were on parade, and
heard the Colonel had a letter from Mr.
Royal, disclaiming all knowledge of the
authorship of the artich si in the ..Aroltoeatt.
Monde against the Ontarios. A deputa-
tion of the officers by command of the.
gallant Colonel, waited on the gentleman
to hear his defence, and the letter abovementioned was the result. Well, we are
awfully excited here about the matter,
and now since the officers have taken it
in hand. we must await further develop-
ments, The Colonel has pledged himself
to the men to see to the bottom of the
thing, and I certainly pity the man who
is found guilty, if he ever flails into the
hands of othe 1stOntario. 1 It was fear-
ful' to listen to them—men who were
never known tb utter an path, vowing
vengeance agaitist the perpetrator ; and
in fact it was o ly by the COlonel promis-
ing to make a personal affair of it, that
the men were kept from executing sum-
mary ,vergeance on Mr. Royal, who, not-
withstanding his letter, is looked upon
with strong suspicion, as it is thought a
man who was liar enough to pen those
articles can also lie himself out of the
scrape.

the people in the neighbOrheod wete ab -
tent at church, the servant girl, who
happened to be out in the yar( , noticed
a small flame of fire issuing from the
south .corner of the roof of the house.
She immediately pee the alarm, and

• SPECIAL NoncEs. -
An Extraordinary Watch..
• The •following paragraph, from the
Pontiac Union, was voluntarily forward-
ed. by Mr. Bowlby, of that place, to
Thome Russell & Sons, the eminent
English watchmakers
• "Twelve. yea] s ago the 7th of last
July, Mr. George Wee Bowlby, of Pon-
tiac, purchased of M. S. Sniith, of this
city, a gold hunting -eased English lever
full -capped Watch, of the make of Rus-
sell & Sons, Liverpool. The Watch was
set to running, regulated, and lia,s been
carried. in the pocket of Mr Bowliey,
without more than two 'days' inter-
mission, ever since, having never been
cleaned, never run down but once, and
never hiving the time changed but
twice, once when it run down, some
eight or nine years since, and once
some two years since by a jeweler who
put iato it a new crystal. On this
last occasion it was set by a chron-
ometer, which has remained without
change of time since, -and is now 50
seconds faster than tame time, and the
watch is 23 seconds slower than the
chronometer, or that much nearer true
time. Incredible as it may eeena, the
works iii this -watch are to all appear-
ances as clean as on the day it was pur-
chased, the cases being so nicely adjust-
ed' as to exclude even water. • These
facts, vvonderful as they stem, are reli-
able, Mr. Bowlby being a man of char-
acter and ready to make affidavit to
them, as they may in. part also be sus-
tained by Mr. Smith, and those at am-
tiac familiar with the watch, which4 so
highly esteemed by its owner that
money would hardly purchese it." See
the. following :
• PONTIAC, Feb. I, 1S71.
• Mr. Russell, send a statement
of one of your watches, the .niin.ber is
27,826. The watch is running. The
best of watchmakers say they can see no
good reason why it will not run twelve
-ears longer.• It will be 13 years the 7th
of nextfuly that it has been running.

make use of it, and either he or our-
selves here will be glad to zerhe any
frien& reCoMinended by you, if they
