Sir, a question has arisen with refertew t•
the printing charge for the Schedine of
Ceuvictions for Huron. A party makes a
tendee to -print the Schedule at so mech
per line. The page of his paper conteins
5 columns of his ordinary news and adver-
tising, measure Fur that he preprosee to

fonnation of the Schedule. What should
be the nu aber of columns charged -in such
esee--according to the usage of the
press ?" The reply was dietiact and de-
cisive " It would be imposition N count
irc.ore tive columns." We object te
the &positor seeming the County Print..

and then being alloWed to overcharge as

actelent It will be the duty of the Coun-
cil in the interests of the ratepayers of the
County to make a strict baretigation into
this matter. We have made no accusation
we are eot prepared to substantiate, and
arequite the Council should secure
the assistance of practical printers from
outside the Cotintv to aid them ill the en-
quiry. We trust the Council, when aided
by prectimrprinters, will bring alltheprint-
big for 1869, done by the Expositor, to
the test ef the tender made by the- pro-
prieter thew paper. It is very easy for
the Expositoe to tender low, when his con-
science is elastic enough to permit him to
consideu his tender as a dead letter as soon
as accepted by the Council, and preceed. to
charge fur the work when completed as he
finds he should have tendered for it. We
are -sure that a desire to do justice to all
the pepers of the County, will prompt the
wCennell to take decided action in the pre-
mises. For the guidance of the Council,
the following rule may be of service :-
When advertising is tendered for at 3it

for advertising justly or exorbitantly. It
will net be enough to investigate the cases,
of extortion instanced by us merely ae
specimens. The whole account of the Ex-
positor wants overhauling. The ratepe.y-
ere expect action to be taken at the pre-
sent meeting of the Council and so do we.
"We do not blame the Council for mat er-

A cOrresPonderit of the Portland Press
tells the following interesting story.
Your notide of the knowing Newfound-
land dog, recalls some incidents in the life
ola dog which was owned for some years
by Mr. Skillings, of Peaks' Island, form-
erly of 13anks's Island. When desirous
of a change uf 'he would swim to
Portland. a distance of over two utiles,
and, after passing a week visiting, re .
He would sometimes be found at Com-
mercial harf by Mr. Skillings, after
after several days' absence, sitting in his
boat in Which he had come to town, and
awaiting Mr. S.'s coming on board to take
him bome. He had accompanied
Mr. Skillings, at various times, to Watts'
Ledge, near Richmond Island, seven
miles from Bangs's island, on gunning
excursions after sea fowl, and he was a
most excellent retriever.
- On ono occasion, as the dog was getting
old, Mr. 'Skillings left his house without
hien, and, as necessaty for sea fowl gun-
ning, before daylight. The dog finding
his master gone, swam to Capt Elizabeth
to some:part of the shore, which rcquir-
ed swimming nearly a„mile, and went to
'Jape Elizabeth Lights' a distance of six
miles more, where he remained until Mr.
Skillings passed in his boat on his return,
when the dog swam to the boat,was taken
aboard, and returned home with his mas-
ter. On another occasion Mr. Skillings
shot two sea -fowl while he was standing
on the top of Bald head, 80 feet above the
.sea. .The dog made directly for the wet-
er by running down uotil ho approached
the precipice thirty or forty feet above
the water, when he leaped in, seized the
two fowl and swam with them around to
the cove. A common excursion for him
in his latter days was to swim to Holm
Island, merely to play with the sheep ;
which, though play to him, was a great
worry to them, for they in their fright
would make for ihe water, and too many
of them being drowned, the shdep owners
were compelled to shoot him.
He had a habit of showing his teeth
and gums when approached by friend or
stranger, but not as is commonly the case,
in anger, it being merely a way he had
. .
to show his joy.
People who are curious in such matters
may discriminate as they please between
instinct and reason, and hew much less
than reason was shown in some of the
above cases. It is well sdggeated, how-
, - . .
ever, that a high aog Inelitict appears
more elevated at least, than a lower order
of human reason. ,
Absurd- Wills.
The London correspondent of the Boston
Commonwealth, wriees
"Some centuries ago a lady left funds to
provide for a sermon on good Friday, and
to give to 55 widows the stun of sixpence
each every year in a particular manner.
She directed that the sixpence should be
plazed, prior to the distribution, on her
tombstene, and forbade the taking Of tbe
bequest by any widow who was too stiff to
stoop for it. Unfortunately the tombstone
has long since mouldered away, and as the
founder of the gratuity forgot to provide
for its maintenance, the trustees of the
fund are annually forced to place the six-
pences on the ground where the tombstone
used to be, regardless of the still &neater
torments thereby inflicted on the presum-
ably rheumatic legatees. The whele thing
shows hoW absurd it is not to treat with a
high hand these useless and effete endow-
ments. Again, the other day, the whole
of the public charity called the Bluecoats
School, some 750 in number, went in a
body to pay their respects to the Lord
Mayor. They were regaled with buns and
cherry wine, according to custern,antl then
defiled by twos before the Mayor, who, clad
in all the pomp and circumstance of office,
gracimisly supplied each boycraecording to
his rank in the school, twith coin from the
mint, patting the last and smallest on the
head. and telling him to he agood boy and
a credit to the noble institution which is
charitably bringing him up. This is
degrading the boys into charity subjects
for their lives, unless true- menliness re-
volts at it. Good taste, no less than good
feeling, suggests that these old relics of
middle -age manner should be allowed to
die."

took any interest in the trial except that
nervous uneasy detil of a woman -be-
cause you know w they love and how
they hate and this hie had loved her hus-
band witli all her might and now she had
bottled it all down into hate, and stood
here spitting it at that Spaniard with her
eyes ; and 1 tell yon sbe would stir nie
ay, too, with a little of her suinmer lightn-
ing occasionally. Well, I had mv coat off

smoking one of those cabbage cigars the
San Francisco people used to think were
good enough for us in those times ; and
the lawyers they all had their coats off and
were smoking and whittling, and the wit-
nesses the same, and so was the prisoner.
Well, the fant is, there wan't any interest
in a murder trial then, because the fellow
was always brought in not guilty, the jury
expecting him to.do as much for theni some
time ; and although the evidence was
straight and square against this Spaniard
we knew we could not convict him without
seeming to be rather high handed and sort
of reflectieg on every gentleman in the
community; for there warn't any carriages
and liveries then, and so the only 'style'
there was to keen yoer private graveyard.

Ma. RIEL, who still. Calls himself
"President," is at his old tricks. He
has been opening the mails, reading
other people's letters, and appropriating
other people's money. It isesaid that he
intends taking up his residence in the
United States ; and that, being a little
short of funds, he is raising the wind by
robbing the mails. Judging him by what
he has done in the Northwest during the
last few months, ,yee should say that, with
a little training, he would make a first
class ward politician down in New York.
His antecedents are serongly in his favor.
The fact that he has committed murder,
robbed the mails, and plundered people
generally, would be sufficient to make him
a leading man within a few months ; and
the additional fact thut his "operations"
were directed ageinst the "blasted. British-
ers," would be sufficient to Bemire for him

in Congress. Therefore, • by all means,

The Boston Advertiser says :t`tWe are
apt to arrogate to our century mfore than
its share of common sense e but we must
except froth any such estimate that class
of persons, beine men of mature age and
sound mind, eels; allow themselves to be
drawn into this most silly, most wicked,
most perilous, utterly hopeless und.er-
taking. Not -even Barnaby Rage and
his raven would be deluded into joining
so idiotic an enterprise -certainly not
after one experitnent had dernonstrated its
contemptible weakness. But it is possi-
ble that every age must have its proportion
of folly ; and if so, so much of the share
of our time is conc,entrated in this Fenian
scheme. that we may expect a considera-
ble lfghtening of the pressure upon our
lunatic asylums, and a visible increase of
wesdom at large for several years to ceme.
We apprehend that judicious handling will
be sufficient to pick the bubble before it is
blown up to any threatening proportions ;
and we trust that the, bIow now to be given
by its own folly to American Fenianisin
will be so shattering in its effect thatthere
will be dothing left for even the most
ereclulons servant girl in America to put
her trust and her earnings in. There is
much to be done for Ireland ; but nothing
is to be gained for her at St. Albans at
Rouse's Point, at Buffalo, or at Molateal.
The Fenian Giesson,
General Gleason, who, with other Feni-
an leaders, has been arrested by the U.S.
Governmeot, is not yet thirty-five years
old, but is no novice in war, havang seen a
good deal of service. He is six feet six
inches in height, broad in proportion, and
weighing 220 pounds, with enpranoes
physical strength. He was born in Ireland,:
and served in the Papalaemy at an early age
until 1862, when he came over to the
States, and enlisted in the Northern army.
He rose very rapidly, and at the close of
the war was Lieut. -Colonel of the 63rd.
New York infantry, an Irish regiment of
some repntation. In 18135 he returned to
Rome and re-entered his former service.
Latterly he has laeen inspector of U S.
inland Revenue, and notorious for his
raids against illicit whiskey stills. In
these skirmishes he was muchmore fortunate
than he has been in the present abertive
attempt at an attack upon Canada.
An Old Man's Sad Story.
In the Hudson county ceurt of session,
at Jersey City, eesterda,v, the trial of
Charles Schultz for cutting his wife's throat
with intent to hill her, was brought to a
close. Schultz, who possessed a large
amount of property, went to California to
avoid the persecution Of his wife,and whet
he returned the wife had all the property
in her own name and threw him eut of
doors, He went to work as a barber till
his sight failed him, as he was slaty -five
yeani old., yet the family merely aliowed
him "the crumbs that fell from the 'table."
His wife and children were placed all the
witness stand at the trial,and all manifest-
ed the most intense animosity against the'
old man, except one sou. His daughter
declared she would. not call him father.
The overseer of the poor testified that
Schultz applied to him for relief, but he
declined to grant it as Schultz had over
$4,000 worth of firoperty.- The old man's
reason had at length given. way, and in a
moment of desperation he cut his wife's
throat with a razor. Judge Randolph, in
his charge te the jury, delivered a wither-
ing rebuke to the unnatural wife and
children, and declared that the evidence
for the defence revealed a terrible state of
things: It revealed a feeling towards a
father which, if directed towards him (the
judge) by his children, would certainV
crush his heart. At the close of -the judge s
remarks, as well as the address of counsel
for defence mauy persons shed tears.
When Mr. Itowe, prisoner's counsel, con -
eluded, an outbuist of applause followed.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty on
the count charging the phisoner with as-
sault: Great sympathy is inenifested for
