Middleton sad throws new light on the Bremner .Fair Ouse.. It. now appears that. theCtenertil in oonfiseating the furs which belonged to Bremner, was acting on information from and on the advice of Itir Hayter Reed. When the Gov- ernmeut refused to proclaim martial law in the disaffected region, the Gen- eral aeked because he did not under- stand civil law, that an officer be ap- pointed. The Government complied and appointed Mr Reid, a man of con- - _ siderable authority in the North West. He was a man of influence as well as of experience. He had been a member of the council and had acted as deputy. during the absence of the Lieutenant Governor. Mr Reid, it appears, came from Battleford with the knowledge of these furs being in the possession of Bremner,whomhe alsoknew as a rebel, or he believed him to be. He there- fore advised in a secret way Gener- al Middleton that a seizure should be made and that it should be done as quietly as possible. Of course, General Middleton did not known whether this was right or wrong He did know that had he been ir. a for- eign carnpaign, private property would not be molested. But this was the Northwestern part of Canada, whose natives know little or nothing so he agreed to issue the order and sieze the furs. In the investigation which fol- lowed it is worthy of remark that the General did his best to let down Mr Hayter Reid as easy as possible. Then there is the still greater offence of divi 1. ing the property, and the General re ceived his share of the confiscated goods. No one, not even the General himself, attempts to justify that act. It was wrong. It may have been an error of judgment, but it has planed the principal actors in rather an awk- ward position. Here they are before the country, men occupying high posi- tions in our land, men who chance may be noble warlike soldiers, but who have disgraced their names for mere nothing, acting in a manner contrary to all that is considered noble between man and man, literally robbing a pri- vate citizens of his property. The new light thown on the subject may tend to excuse the commander of the forces. But it shows that the Government officer Mr Reid was very much in the wrong. fXuttanoeivexa FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1890. Heligoland. On Monday Heligoland was handed over into tie hands of Germany, and the blank eagle now floate overthat uorihern isle. There is a beautifu There were tw:lve men renowned myth, that tele of the originof this onntry: among the Friesians for wisdom and righteousness, commissioned by hire people to collect the customs of all people. These oleo journeyed from one mark to another gathering from all the rights and duties of the freemen and learning about even handed jus- tice. While travelling, after getting q,ll the information necessary, and discussing the various laws, a great storm arose and Oegir, the terrible, •showed his wrathy power. The storm lasted a day and night, the clouds were so dark no sun could be seen by day and nJ moon or stars by night. Being unable to contel.d against such pow- ers, that' called upon the heavenly powers for help. The prayer was no sooner offered than it was answered. A man of reverend mein stood before them and holding the helru by his strong arm guided the ship safe to a rocky isle. The stranger was carrying an axe and as they neared the shore he burled it at the solid rock, where it atruck,a spring buret forth. On reach- ing the shore twelve seats were found to be hewn in the rock in a circle, and a thirteenth raised a little above the rest. The stranger told them all they wished to- know, explained away their diffioulties. At first he had spoken in a very low tone, but gradually he raised it, then:it grew softer and when it ceased, he was gone. They said it was Fositi, Buldr's eon, who taught them the laws. Fositi (Norse, Forsiti) according to the Norse myth, was the son .of Buldr, the god of light and purity, and of the blooming Nanna; for it is from the clearness of mind. and purity of heart that justice flows. Forsiti (Fore•sitter) corresponds liter- ally to the word "president". His home was Glitnir, the glittering hall, the roof which rested ou pillars of golds. So these twelve men received the knowledge of their rights. The island was called Holyand or as it L now is Heligoland, when the judges wished to do justice they drank first of the holy spring before they gave judgment. So runs the story of the Friesians, whose descendants still oc- cupy Heligoland, their langurge is more allied to the Dutch than to the English. They still maintain their independence and their time honored free customs, which they ascribe to• divine origin. Heligoland has become a famous watering place and holiday camping ground, and from Monday last belongs not to England but to Germany. ' NWS NOT.ES. NRS14.10%A; ei The Comm j Couauotor WaltAr. H.

IIe was born in 1400 and graduated with honors in classics in 1920. Iiia most celebrated work is apologia Pro Vita Sua, in reply to a strong attack made on him by Rev Chas Kingsley. But he will never be forgot- ten while the hyn u,"Lead kindly Light" is sung. This beautiful and touching hymn was written when Dr. Newman was only 32 years of age, on a journey from Sicily to Englaud. Its almost universal use at present will ever re- mind the singer of the great Cardinal Newman. • NEWS NOTES. A. Possible Dissolution. The Globe hints at the possibility of a dissolution of the House, and the probability of an election at an early day, although the present.parlia- ment has still a considerable length of time to -exist. We would not be at all surprised at anything that Sir .John would do, but we cannot see wherein he would be a gainer by an early disso- lution, except to catch his opponents unawares. The times are not favorable for an election. Whether they will get better instead of worse is just the question. There is no harm in being prepared for any emergency, and the Globe concludes its editorial as follows: "However, there can be no harm in the friends cf good government holding themselves in readiness in the several constitnencies,and we wouldsuggest that the various local assocl tions should meet at as early a date as possible and see that steps are taken to perfect their organization. We have to deal with a very tricky and unscrupulous opponent and did the /natter depend on him alone we may be well assured that neither usage or precedent, much lase any lingering sense of honor or fair play, would deter him from any act out of which he could extract a political ad- vantage, whether it ware a Gerryman- der Bill, or a Franchise Bill, or the sale of a railway charter, or a premature dissolution of Parliament. A man named Roy is suing the pub - Rebore of the Quebec directory for $2,- 500 for calling him a rag -seller. Ile claims that he should have been desig- nated as a dealer in brio -a -brat. Mr D. D.Wilspn and the Misses Wil- son, Seaforth, who have been spending the Bummer in old country, are expect• ed to sail for home about the 20th of this month. One day last week as Mr R. ltowden of Colborne was drawing in hay the load upset and he fell with his back on a post. He was very badly strained but fortunately no ribs or bones broken Mr T. Bell, of Wingham, shipped a carload of furniture to Victoria, B. C., on Thursday. He has also an order for a number of desks for the members of the Council of the North-west Terri- tory. Messrs. Gilchrist,Green & Co., of the union furniture factory,Wiugham,have purchased from Messrs McLean & Son the saw mill operated by them for some years, and which is situated near the S. P. R. track. On Wednesday afternoon of last week about sixty or seventy men assembled at Benmiller to erect the frame of Mr Pframmer's new mill. They worked until dusk but did not get it finished and had to return next morning to do so. While hauling stone for the foundation under Mr Thos Bell's (furniture ware- house, on Thursday, Mr John Gillispie drove his team too near an old well on the lot adjoining Bell's factory and one of the horses slipped g°iartiallyin. With some assistance it was got out. Rev Mr Fairbairn, of Dungannon, has not been able to officiate for the last two Sabbaths, owing to an attack of:erysipelas. We hope to hear of his recovery shortly. The rev. gentleman expects to be able to occupy his pulpit next Sabbath at the usual time. A splendid catch of black bass and pike was made the other day by some of Listuwel's citizens who are rusticat- ing at Oliphent on Lake Huron. Some of those sent home by Mr R. 'Thompson weighed 5 pounds apiece. A book agent in St. Thomas on Sat- urday forged the name of [1r John Carling, Minister of Agriculture, to a checque of$50, and with this document paid a bill of 521 to a livery stable keep- er, receiving the change. He has not been car.ght. The 450th arniversary of the inven- tion of printing has just been celebrat- ed at Cologne, and attracted literary inen and others from all parte. Speech- es were made, and a special play, illus- trating incidents of Gutenberg's life was performed before the visitors. A son of Mr John Little was a victim to the pernicious habit of stone throw- ing, too much indulged iu by boys in town. On Tuesday evening while driv- ing a cow along the street he was struck on the nose with a stone and bled so pro- fusely that it was feared it aright cost him his life. Patrick McQuire, of coueession 2, Blenheim, recently killed a blowing adder, fully as large as a luau's arm, with scales as large as a moderate fish.

Nearly two thousand Grand Army excursionists, en route from Chicago to Boston, took steamers at Kingston on Saturday, and sailed down the St. Lawrence to Montreal. - John Boyle O'Reilly, the port and editor of the Boston Pilot, died Monday afternoon at his summer resi- dance at Hull. His death is supposed to have been caused by an overdose of chloral taken for insomnia, The barns anc1 outhuildings of Mr Alfred Waite, Meadowvale, Ont., were destroyed by fire Saturday. A spark from the engine used in threshing was the cause. The barns contained the bulk of the season's crop. The citizens of New Westminster, B.

Mr Justice MaoMahon gave his do- cision, last Saturday, in regard to the famove Cobonrg Federation Schema. He orders the injunction restraining the University from federation be dis- solved as soon as federating is astlented to at a properly constituted meeting of the authorities. It is also decided that the Board of Regents have the power to deal with the removing of the College froth Cobonrg. and that the plaintiffs have no right over the fund being collected by Dr. Potts.

He is recovering. A little boy from one of the Ameri- i can cities, while visiting, in Goderich, was watching his aunt milking when he asked her what she was doing; on hearing her reply that she was getting milk he started laughing. saying, "That's a funny way to get milk, we get ours from the milkman and be don't have any of them things. A meeting of tate directors of the West WawauoshMutual Frie Insurance Company was held on Tuesday, the 5111 inst. All the directors were present on that occasion and were busily en• gaged the greater part of the day in examining applications, of which there were upwards of a hundred, thereby- evincing herebyevincing that the Company is progress- ing beyond anticipation. Wednesday night fire was discovered in Walter Jackson's stable, Brussels, but ready hands soon put it out. How it started is a mystery. Had it not been noticed when it was a serious con- tiagration might have been the result as Mr Jackson's dwelling is close by as it was'the inside of the stable was badly scourehed. A horse standing in the stall where the fire started was nearly suffocated. A number of the Reform friends of Mr G. Fortune, of '1'urnberry, met at his residence on Tuesday evening, 5tit inst., when a very pleasant evening was spent. To show how they appreci- ated Mr Fo tune's services as chairman of the Reform Association of that township, his friends presented him with a nicely worded address and a handsome gold watch. Mrs Fortune was also presented with a pair of vases. The address was road by 1)r McDonald, M. f'., and the watch was presented by Thomas Gibson, 51. P. P. Stewart Henderson, solicitor for Bremner, the Battleford half-breed, saw Sir Adolphe Caron, Minister of Militia, on Saturday, regarding the claim for losses on account of the loos- ing of Bremner's furs during the rebell- ion. Sir Adolphe said he would offici- ally acknowledge receipt of the letter, but would delay consideration until the Cabinet reassembles after the holidays. During a severe thunder storm on Saturday ba Fat y sever l a me near Campell- ford, Ont.,were struck by lightning,and Trail did considerable damage to crops. A shed, under which Albert Rowe had driven with a little girl to escape the storm, was struck by lightning. The girl and team were unhurt, but Rowe was knocked off the seat, and blood ran from hismouth,nose and ears. He will probably recover. Sandy Barns, of the 9th con. Howick, is perhaps the" best known farmer in this township. By industry, straight and honorable dealings, he stands at the top of thcrladder, notwithstanding the mishaps that have befell him daring his life. About twelve years ago he nearly ('hopped his left hand off while hewing a wedge. A few years ago while driving n reaper his horses ran away knocked him so much that those who saw him concluded that his end had come, but Sandy did not think so and vas soon to be seen at his work as usual. How- ever ono day last week Sandy's genuine Scotch blood was made to almost stand; this is the way we are informed it hap- pened. He is a great lover of bees,keeps innumerable colonies of them, and takes great delight in working among them. Upon this occasion he was trying to se- cure a fine young colony that had just swarmed and near succeed when the queen alighted on Sandy and began pro- specting for a{suitable location. Now unfortunately there was a place on Sandy's pants where a patch oughtto have been, and this opening the queen soon found and in she went followed by thousands of her faithful subjects. Hero was a dilemma that taxed this cool canny Scot. He knew to attempt to atop them would be fatal, and as every second added to his trouble he shouted for help, but when help arrived the inside of his clothes were bulged out with bees. What was to be done; anger the bees and death was certain, many a good received and although he sting he still stood solid as a rock, not daring to move. The assistants ha 1 their wits and goon procured a pair of scissors and by gently handling the pant lege and shirt, he was soon cut out of his clothes and safely in the house, although hie lege, body, face and hands, were badly swollen from the effects of many stings; presence of mind and cool Scotch oourago had saved him this time as ithad saved him many others before. 11 There was a terrible electrical storm in Petorboro on Sunday, with galea that twisted off the shade trees in town and levelled fencee. The rain came downlin torrents and the lightning found its bil let in several trees and houses. A house in the south end of the town was struck and its occupants stunned. Many trees werestrnck in different parts of the coun- ty. In North Smith the barns of Mr John Stewart were struck by lightning. It fired two barns, one entirely new,and stables with their contents, hay and barley, were destroyed. Loss about $1,000; slight insurance.

AP.P.ANGEMF:NTS On Friday evening last, as Mrs D. I. Lynch, of Hagarsville, together with her four little girls aud her two sisters, the Misses Murphy, of Cayuga, were driving into town from the last named place, the horse, becoming frightened, shied quickly to one side, tipping the carriage over into a deep ditch. The horse, finding himself unable to rise, be- gan to kick. Mrs Lynch and two of the little girls received several marks about the bead. One little girl, Seita, aged three years, received a severe kick just over the left eye, and died in a few minutes. The rest of the party, al- though badly shaken up, are in a fair way toward recovery. Judge Miles O'Reilly, of Ilamilton, died at his residence, Catherine street south, at an early hour on Monday The deceased Judge was Ontario's old- est barrister. He was the oldest Queen's Counsel, with the exception of Sir John McDonald, and was the oldest Judge in the Dominion, He was elat- ed g theof ed to Bench in 1837 as Judge g Gore District. IIe held a commission as colonel of militia, and has been Mas• ter in Chancery for 19 years. Both of Mr O'Reilly'a grand sires were U. E. Loyalists. Ito was born in Stamford in 1800, and was Hamilton's oldest in- habitant,havingg lived there for the past sixty years. He was confined to his bed three weeks ago, and succumbed to old age as he bad no specific disease. Ms wife is the daughter of the late Mr Jas Pricey. A.

At periods since that time he has sdffered intense agony in the bead and has been partially deaf in one ear. On Monday a doctor oper- ated on his left ear and extracted an ot a grain therefrom. This, no doubt was the cause of the trouble, as his hearing is restored and his head devoid of pain. Jas. Couch, Teeswater, has a singular freak of nature in his possession, con- sisting of a fragment of a chicken hatched from an egg which at the same time produced a live chicken. The oddity consists of two well developed legs and feet and part of the body well covered with feathers. The family of Dr. Orton, of Guelph, are having their share of trouble just now. On Monday of last week a nine- year-old daughter fell from a tree and broke her ankle. Saturday morning the eldest son, Richard H., who is taking a course at the Medical College, Toronto, fell twenty feet from the rung of a ladder on his uncle's farm, Coun- cillor Jas.

HILL, President. 9lanae er, l'oronto The success that has attended the Great industrial Fair, which is hold annually in Toronto, has been remark. able, and it is evident that the exlribi• tion for the present year, which is to bo held from the Rth to the 20th next month, will again surpass its prede- cessors. The entriee which have al ready been received from all parts of the Dominion, United States and Great Britain, are sufficient to fill all the buildings on the grounds, and they are reported to be of a much finer quality than any heretofore exhibited. A large entry list is generally indica- tion that it will be followed by a targe attendance ot visitors, and as very cheap fares and excursions have been announced by all the railway and steamboat lines from all parts of Canada and the adjoining States, this indica- tion will doubtless be fully verified on the present occasion. The Governor- General and prince George of Wales will probably visit the Exhibition. Several more new buildings have been erected this year and still there is no space to spare. Special exhibits have been entered from Spain, British Col- umbia, Manitoba and other portions of Canada and large e d1e PY la a will be made by the Dominion and Ontario Experimental Farm. Along of list ft a• tures have been provided including a large Wild West Show, grand display of fireworks, concluding with the mag- nificent spectable, the " Last Days of Pompeii," Edison's wonderful talking dolls, a great dog show, and a multi- tude of other features that cannot fail to enteriain the many thousands that will doubtlesa visit the great Fair. 0-O Nsrmsfis Laborer's Excursion, Neg. 20, good! 1.) return a !til N . v.
