SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1876
The Lieutenant -Governor of the
Northwest Territories.
tee-- The Official Gazette of Monday laid an-
nounces the appointment of the Hon.
David Laird, Minister of the Interior, as
Lieutenant Governor of the Northweet
Territories. The experience gained by
Mr. Laird while in the Northwest some
two years ago, together with the know-
ledge he has acquired of the wants of that
new region, will doubtless conduce large-
ly to the success of his administration, ae
well as tell to the advantage of the peo-
people over whonehe goes to exercise the
functions of Governor. As minister of
the Interior, Mr. Laird has distinguished
'himself as a hard working, reliable and
thoroughly capable official. His Indian
bill of last sessioe is proving itself to be a
piece of most useful legislation. Possess.
ed of no `ordina.ry share of tact and dis-
cretion, and having largely the capacity
of taking common sense views of men
and things, the recently appointed Lieu-
tenant Governor is welt qualified for lay-
ing the foundations of the new State in
the great Northwest.
The South African Troubles.
Transvaal Republic is a comparativel
small State in the interior of Sout
Africa, separated from Orange Fre
State by the Vaal river on the south
and otherwise surrounded by the Kaffir
Zulu, Bechuana, and other native tribes
The Orange' Free State again lies_betwee
the republic and Cape Colony. Bot
States are populated more or less b
Dutch Boers or farmers, the descendant
of the original Dutch settlers, who, no
caring to remain under British rule a
the south, emigrated northwards an
took up their location between the Orang
and Limpopo rivers. In this territor
they have formed two independen
States, having a Republican form o
Government. About a year agfi th
Colonial Secretary submitted proposal
to them, baying in view a Confederation
to embrace them as well as the neighbor
ing British Colonies in South Africa.
Strange to say, the proposals were re-
jected in the most decided terms. Since
that time, however, they have quarreled
with, and gone to war with some of the
native tribes, the Zulus and Kaffirs, and
have been completely defeated. So seri-
ous indeed' is their defeat, and so utterly
unable do they appear to be in making
headway against the batives, that they
are now supplicants for British interven•
tion and protection. 'The appeal to the
generosity and interest of England has
not been made in vain, as the Govern-
ment have resolved to send re-inforce-
ments to the Cape, that the rights of
English and Dutch colonists alike, may
be guaranteed and maintained. Recent
intelligence is to the effect that the
steamer St. Lawrence has been charter-
ed, and has sa.iled with the first- detach -
meat of troops for the Cape of Good
Hope. It itt ,highly probable therefore,
that the project of a South African Con-
federation of States is much nearer prac-
tical realization than was recently sup-
posed. For, in the Eastern Continent as
well as in ,the Western, people have
found out that in union there is safety
combined with strength. And when the
several grouPs of British Colonies shall
have been confederated, the problem of
confederating the whole with the Parent
State will then demand a practical solu-
tion.
Death of Lord Lisgar.
By cable despatches from London, on
Monday last, intelligence was received
of the death of Lord Lisgar, who was
Governor-General of Canada for a term
of four year, ending 1672. Baron Lis -
gar was the immediate successor of Lord
Monck, duriing whose tenure of office
Confederation was accomplished. The
deceased nobleman was a native of coun-
ty Cavan, Ireland, being born in 1807.
Though educated for the profession of
law and called to the -" bar, -the allure-
ments of political life soon drew him
aside from the dry technicalities of, legal
pursuits. Elected to the House of Com-
mons for Cavan in 1831, being then 24
years of age, he continued to represent
that county nritil 1855, when he was ap-
pointed Lord Commissioner of the Ionian
Islands, which position he held till 1858.
For two years, from 1844 to 1846, dur-
ing the administration of Sir Robert Peel,
when the memorable repeal of the Corn
Laws was accomplished, he was a Lord
of the Treasury. In the short-lived
Ministry, formed by Lord Derby on the
retirement of Lord John Russell in 1852,
Baron Lisgar, then Sir John Young,
was Chief Secretary for Ireland, sharing
of course the fortunes of his party on
their giving way to the administration of
„Lord Aberdeen. From 1860 to 1808 he
was C.+ernor of New South Wales,
whenceihe cameto Canada in the latter
year, and was succeeded in 1872 by Lord
Dufferui, the present incumbent. Lov-
ing quiet and retirement, he made no
effort to gain popular applause. Though
rigidly fair and impartial in the conduct
of affair, eminently laborious and pains-
taking as an official, he seemed almost,
entirely' to lack those qualities necessary
to endear him to the heart of the people.
so characteristic of an Elgin or a Duffer -
in. Canada did not lose his attention
when he retired from her shores; for
frequently, in his place in the House of
Lords, he advocated her interests when
Canadian questions were under diecus-
sion. The ultimate success of Confed-
ariation owes not a little to him, for the
judicimuaand wise exercise of his author-
ity in the extension and consolidation of
the grand scheme of uniting into one
harmonieus whole, the scattered frag-
ments of British North America.
Npvre of the Week.
FATAL EFFECI'S OF EATING TOADSTOOLS.
-Several deaths have occurred at New-
ark, N. J., from poisoning from eating
toadstool, mistaken for mushrooms.
DEATH OF BARON' LISGAIL-The death,
is annouticed of Baron Lisgar (Sir John
Young), who was GovernoteGeneral of
'Canada from 1868 to 1872. He was 69
years of age.
CONSCRIPTS FOR . CUBA. -A cable
special. from Madrid says 24,000 soldiers
for Cuba were drawn a few days ago
without disturbance'and these men will
soon follow the 16,000 already on their
way.
EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED
BRANDY. -The New York Customs offi-
cials last week seized fifteen cases of
smucgled brandy, found concealed in
the fireritan's staterooms on board the
steamer Wieland,- from Hamburg. A
search was made under a, permit issued
by the German consul at this port
- CHINA APOLOGETIC. -An Imperial
edict has been published expressing re-
gret for Mr. McGaray's murder in China,
and affirming the right of foreigners to
travel through the country and enjoy
the protection of the authorities. An
envoy with a letter of apology for the
Yuman outrage is to go to England at
once.
ISSUE OF PAPER MONEY. -The Turkish
Government has decided to issue shortly
300,000,000 piastres sj paper money.
This amount is about equal to $14,000,-
,000. It will be an obligatory legal ten-
der throughout the Ottoman Empire.
'The circulation is fixed and limited, to
two-thirds of the whole amount, and
the 0 reniaining third will be kept as
a reserve. No intimation has yet been
givenof the time the issue will take
oue.
MOODY AND SA.NKEY AT CHICAGO. -A
remarkably powerful religious impression
is manifested at the noon prayer meet-
ings held in Chicago. The call for a day
lof fasting and prayer was read. Nearly
1,500 ministers and members of churches
arose to desire prayers that they might
be personally fitted to work in the revi-
val. The deepest feeling prevailed and
maiiy were in tears. At the_Moody and
Sankey tabernacle on the night of the
5th inst there werellearly 5,000 persons
ipreient in spite of the rain.
1 SUDDEN RISE IN SILK. -One of the
most remarkable of trade fluctuations has
just noiv occurred in the silk market.
Within the last seven weeks the price of
Chios silk has risen 80 per cent. Bengal
silklas risen during the last five weeks
nearly 100 per cent. For the -last four
Kears holders of silk stock in England
ave greatly suffered, and now, by the
rapid change of the market prices, sever-
al merchants, notably Glasgow ones, are
suddenly being recouped at the rate of
thousands of pounds a day. The whole
of the South European silk crop has
suddenly failed, and this has mainly
brought about the extraordinary rise.
A VESSEL BURNED IN A DRY DOCK. -
Last Saturday morning the German
barque Europia, lying in the dry dock
on East River, New York, was damaged
to the extent of $5,000. John Casey,
caulker, was fatally and John Seever
severly burned. When the firemen
were making an inspection of the hold
they came across the horribly burned
bodies of Thomas Ingram, Louis
Sullivan, Geo. Gill, Wm. Furlong, and
Jas. McDonald. These men were all
working on the vessel, and it is thought
that they were unable to make their
escape in the blinding smoke, and were
suffocated before burned. All of the
men leave families unprovided for.
Brantford CorrespondencA.
To -day is the second day of the annual
show of the County of Brant. The dis-
play is excellent in most of the depart-
ments and the attendance is unusually
large, probably from the fact that the
first day was so stormy that very few -
visited the grounds. a Since last year the
grounds or at .least the bOildings have
been greatly improved. The main build-
ing being a new one of modern design
and increased convenience -and capacity,
There is the annual grumbling going
on by disappointed exhibitors and the
usual grinding of teeth and voAving that
this is the last time they will ever exhibit
anything in -such a place. Nothwith-
standing this the popular verdict is that
the judges have given fair and honest
awards.
A very large number of our citizens
have been and now are at the Centennial,
others are waiting for cheaper fares.
There is a rumor that towards the last of
the present month the fares will be great-
ly reduced from the present rates.
A grand Temperance Convention was
held on Monday last in Wickliff Hall,
composed of delegatee from every part of
the County to consider the best steps to
be taken to promote the interests of Tem-
'
perance it was resolved to trot the Min-
im Actin the county. Committees were
at once struck for the different munici-
palities and a meeting of this joint com-
mittee is to be held on Wednesday next
at which time the scheme will be more
fully set in motion. Temperance men
expect a struggle and are preparing with
a great deal of zeal and energy for the
contest.
The so called Licensed Victuallers are
wide awake seeing that their craft is in
danger. It is to be hoped that the bill
will be carried, for the prevalence of
drunkennessin our midst is very alarm-
ing,
The Ministerial Conference of thia
town held its monthly meeting on Mon-
day last at the residence of the Rev. Mt:
Alexander - when a lively time ensued.
For some length of time a certain minis-
ter has beeu accused in a private way by
members and ministers of other denomi-
nationaof using undue and ungentleman-
ly efforts to proselyte members from other
churches to his own. At the above
meeting one of the ministers brought the
matter up and a rather animated discus-
sion arose,, in the course of which the ac -
'
used rnigiiter denied the particular
charge, and also stated that he was very
careful about this matter. But the best
joke of the affair is that this same minis-
ter on the pame afternoon of the meeting,
was out calling and went into the house
of another minister not knowing it, as
the minister had lately moved; the minis-
ter Was absent and the visiting Brother
who had been accused in the forenoon at
the ministers meeting said to the lady:
"Are you a Christian ?"

"Do you belong to any chureh ?"
"Which one ?"
"Such a one."
"How do you like your minister ?"
Which of course was the lady's own
husband, Oh ! said she:
• 'Splendidly."
After which the visiting minister
urged her to come to bis church
and hear him preach and then bade her
good -day. The matter will most prIab-
ly be brought up again at the next nein-
isterial meeting, and said minister u less
he apologizes and promises amendment
will not probably be countenanced by
the other ministers of the town in their
Association.
An arrangement is being entered into
by which the Brantford and Pt. 'Burwell
Railway, will likely be handed over to
the G. T. R. R., a connection to be made
at Brantford in which case the latter road
will thoroughly equip and run the road.
This would be a, great benefit to the town
for at present the road is in a bad state
and the rolling stock miserable. The
company appears to be very poor or very
stingy, the latter is the prevailing idea.
It is thought that the Co. are going no
farther or faster than they can go by
bonuses, and that they are determin-
ed to build and equip the road with these
and then they will have all the profits of
he road and really have 110 capital of
heir own invested.'

-Complaint is made by some Boyne
settlers- that the bridge recently built
over Stinifing River, south-west of Head-
ingiy, is almost useless to them, although
built for their accomnaodation. The
steep hill on one side and timber land on
the other, makes travelling with heavy
loads impracticable. The railing of the
bridge is also stated to be unsafe.
-One of the Indian witnesses brought
in by the Mounted Police is a celebrated

which, translated into English, can best
be given to polite readers as 'dog's child.'
The unsophisticated savage, after jour-
neying many days across the prairie, see-

tonished at the size of Winnepeg, and,
on nearing the city, enquired if the
houses were not tied together with a
lariat.
-Several parties of Ontario farmers
have arrived during the peat week or two
and gone out prospecting for land to the
Pembina Mountains and Boyne settle-
ments. A very general intention to se-
cure farms or investments in the Province
is reported by them, among the Ontario
farmers, but the lateness of the season
will delay most of them until next year.
-There has been quite a contention
going on at Portage la Prairie as to where
the show ground and its attachments
have to be permanently situated, The
Hon. D. A. Smith has offered a gift of
five acres of land and $100 to have it in
the west end. of the town, and Dr. Schnitz
has offered a piece of land to have it in
the east end. Which end can hold the
largest purse doubtless will have it, as in
every other instance.
Cremation --A Case in South
Carolina.
A letter from Marion, S. C., says: Mr.
Henry Berry, whose remains were given
to the flames in Marion county a few
days ago, was possessed of considerable
means, owning about 20,000 acres of land
and having in bank between $15,000 and
$20,000. About 15 years ago he had oc-
casion to take up the dead bodies of two
children, and, seeing their condition,
vowed then that when he died his body
should be burned instead of buried. He
accordingly taade his will, dividing his
property out among his children, but in-
serting a proviso that his body, after
death should be burned, and, in case it
was not the whole of his estate was to go
to a church near by, the one at which he
worshipped. Some time ago he took a
member of his family into a piece of
woods near the house and pointed out to
him the exact place where he desired to
be burned, and also the trees which he
desired cut down and used for' the pur-
pose. He died lately at the iage of 80
years, and his body was put in a plain
box (as he had directed, and, th et size of
which he had given,) and hauled in a
cart. drawn by a mule to this place.
Ile had provided that $.i00 be given to
Wm. Hureling, a mulatto, to whom he
was much attached, for superintending
the burning. Six logs of pitch pine were
put on the ground, and on these, forming
two tiers were laid five other -logs.
Lightwooci was piled about on the logs,
'
and at the head foot and sides of the
box containing the body. The- whole
height of the funeral pyre was 10 or 12
feet. Several male members of the old
man's family were present, and a num-
ber of negroes, but, considering the oc-
casion, the crowd was small. Torches
were applied simultaneously, and with a
good deal of agitation, to the four corners
of the pyre, and when our informant left

about the affair, and avowed his inno- b,
nonce, .and would not even look at the I a
