to me as importan to save Chinese in
New Westminster as in Formosa, and
indeed more so, for those who are here
will go back to Ch ft if spared, and if
Chrtstiatized will aril the Gospel with

and are generally industrious. There

preached in the Methodist church,
which will hold : g out 120. The Rev.
Mr. Jamieson cal e down from New
Westminster, and in a very neat and
appropriate addre s introduced me to
the people. M Jamieson is, the
pioneer Presbyt ri n° missionary an the

gles and hardships, kept the fire of Pres-
byterianism in this province `burrang,
and at. the expense.' of health and
strength gave what supply he could to
those outside of New Westminster, in
order[ o keep thel people together till
they could be re idarly supplied, and
neither New West ninster congregation
nor the Presbytery iasobjctedto his do-

Gospel wherever tl4e door was open. I

over a hundred at the service and the

Granville, my kc, incipal station, is a
small village on Il's rrard Inlet, popula-
tion about 500. There is an Episcopal
church, several stone, hotels, saloons,
furniture store, custorn's offices, butcher,
baker, Chinese laundries, livery and
saw -mill. -A nui4be are waiting for

are being surveyed aiid sold at froth $300
to $1,500 for * acre. ' The price paid for
the cleariijng of the land. is to Chinese $40
per acre, Jand whitmen $60 per acre. -
The land is very hird to clear and the
stumpsafe very 1iid to take out, 1 as
'Much as 50L havin ' been paid for tak-
ing out o e stump and such are very
common. The people here gave us a
yery hea ty welcome, at least such as
we met. Moodyville, on the other side
of tbe inl t,. I have not yet seen. I have
found so e difficulty in getting arranged
for servi s and it ' ay take me a few
weeks Yet. Bus. iess is very dull in
Granville as nothug definite is known
as to the terrains of the railwa,y. I
have been makin -enquiry about and

are cut down we tope the houses like
"Jack in the box " will junip, up again.
Meanwhile I will 1 old the fort in Gran-

--e-The linton New Era says: ,In the
„.
excavations now being ' made for the
foundatic4 of the new St. Paul's Church
School House, in that Own, it has been
necessary to removell number of bodies
placed there when the place was used at
an ordinary burial ground. In some
instances; the coffins and bodies have
entirely' decomposed, leaving nothing
but bare bones, while in °there; bodice
are in a good state of preservation, al:
though they have been ender ground for
at least - twenty years; the coffin plates
ten whose; remains they were. The first
body interred iithis spot was an infant
sister of Mr. W. Cook, now of the 14th
concession, Goderich township, buried
just after the arrival of the family here,
Berne 52;years ago.
—.A. Tennent, veterinary surgeon,
and Mr. IA. McDonald, -of Exeter, purs
chased recently from Mr. Thos. Mc-
Kenzie, of Stephen, for: a large sum, a
calf two weeks_ old, with only three fully
developed legs. The fourth (afore leg)
is pretty; well formed above the knee, -
but below that joint it becomes exceed-
ingly sm II, terminating in a clay/scenes
thine likt an owl's bill. . In every other
respect he animal is large and well
shaped. Its present owners have, we
understand, refused , $100 in cash for
their curiosity.
--Commencing with Monday last, a
new time 'table went into operation on
the Li:sedge, Huron & Bruce , railway-.
The freight trains' hitherto run on that
line. will be withdrawn, and one teain
, _
each way now run as express trains, will:
be coneerted into way freights-. A little',
change of time will take place, but it
_ will not 1e materially different ' to the
present. me. The morning express
leaves Lond.on at 6.30, instead of 7.30 as
heretofore, reaching Clinton at about
the same time as at present, and will
probably return near the time it does
now.
—The '1Wingham - Vidette says:- The
many friends of Me. A. Taylor, of Bel -
grave, will be sorry to learn that he is
in a little difficulty and has-been forced
to make an assignment, It appears that
Mr. Taylor, in order to accommo Ste a
friend, innocently gave a chattel nort-
gage on his stock for a small amount.
This soon readied the ears of his credi-
tors, and they forced him to Make an
assignment. Archie's friends will, how-
ever, be Pleased to learn that his busi-
ness is he - e perfectly solvent' condition,
and that Le -expects to get over the pres-
ent unpleasantness, which he unwitting-
ly brought about himself, in tb.e course
of a week.: _

—The Goderich Signal of last week
says :\ _ The steamer, United Empire,
the prerhier ' boat of the North-
west Transportation Company's fleet,
and ' admittedly the finest and
handsomest yessel on fresh water,
was a megnificent Spectacle indeed as
she stearned into port on Wednesday
morning, her beautiful lines revealed in
all the glory of spotless new paint, with:
colors tieing and ; heed playing. The
United Empire took up about 400 tons
of freight, mostly merchandise, and sup-
plies forort Arthur. She had about 75
passenger mostly - for Port 'Arthur en
route to the Northwest via.'the Caeadian
Pacific Railway. . The boat is now equip-
ped with a good brass and string band,
and the popular captain, E. Robertson,
is in command. A Goderich lad who ran
away on the boat was captured at Kin-
cardine and brought back.
—The Brussels . Pest of last week
says: Last Friday mornings, about 4.30
?Week, the fire. alarm rung our citizens
out of bed and a rush was made by the
firemen for the engine and hose carts.
The fire I started in Thos. Norton's
stable, just back ;of the terrace, but
owing tolthe inflammable material it
soon spread to 11. Fosters stable and
then to Nnechtel's stable, which were
consunierE The engine was takentothe
tank, near the Revere House, and threw
two streams of water an the fire in good
time! What caused the flee appears to
be e mystery. Some say tramps, and
some give other reasons not very well
defined. There was no insurance on the
property. Mr. Foster was probably the
heaviest loser, outside of owners of the
buildings,las he lost a quantity of hay, a
new Pair of :bob -sleighs, part of his her-
nesand Stable outfit. He had a close
Shave to get one horse out, as the bed;
ding was on fire before he got out of the
stable. Had the wind been high the
loss would not probably rest on the
three'persons named. As it was, burn-
ing shingles were carried a long dis-
tance.

The Franchise Bill.. ,
MB. Enrion,---Sne—As there is con-
siderable ; feeling aroused throughout
the country in consequence of the
iniquitous Franchise Bill that is being
debated in the House of Commons at
Ottawa, and meetings are being held to
explain *e ' obnoxious features of the
Bill, for it is all Obnoxious, and un-
necessary in the face of the present fair
and liberal franchise of Ontario; and as
petitions against its becoming law are
also being numerously signed, -would it
not be well to go a step further and Pe-
tition for a dissOlution of Parliament

lege Of expressing their opinions at the
