Winnipeg, Dee. 6.—Last week a enation wee created by an applica- tion to the chief Justice by ex - Mayor Logan 'on behalf of the Church of Englend to ° enforce neparateechoof syeteree Mr Logan moved for and obtained a summons calling on the city of Winnipeg to show cause why the by-law levying a rate of taxation for the year should not be quashed on the follows ing grounds • "That by the city by law the amount estimated to be levied for school purposes is levied upon mem bers of the Church of Englaud and all other religious denominations alike; that it is illegal tu assess members of the Church of. Eugland for the support of schools] which are not under the control of the Church of England and iu which they are not taught religious exercises pre- sciibed by the church, and un the grounds disclosed in the affidavits aud papers filed." BISHOP MACHRAY'S AFFIDAVIT. The application is supported by affidavits of Mr. Logan, Bishop Machray and Robert H. ay ward. The biehop's affidavit sets out that on Iris coming here he organized St. John's College and set about found. ing a parochial school in every par- ish in the Red River settlenit, and he was so successful that in 1869 he !lad sixteen schools regularly or- ganized fur tho teaching of .boys and girls in different parishes. These schools were denominational schools of the Church of England and were under the control of the clergy. The schools were opened and closed with prayer. Every day there was instructions in Holy Scriptute, and the English church catechism was taught. The schools were purely7d'imotninational schools, belonging to the church of Eng• land, in which there was religious instruction according to the tenets of that church, POVERTY WAS NO BAR TO ADMISSION. Money to support these schools was raised partly from the funds of the church, partly by voluntary nubscriptions, and partly by fees charged to parents of the children, but no child of English church par, cuts was excluded from the school by reason of poverty. At the time of the union there was, however, about 12,000 Christians in the pro• viuce, and of these about 6,000 were Roman Catholics, about 5,000 English Church, and the remainder were chiefly Presbyterian and of other denominations. TEACHHIG Too SECULAR. The Bishop then explained how he was induced to co-operate in 1871 with the provincial executive in the establishment of national schools 'hut he always hoped that in the Protestant section of these schools, there would be religious in - instruction given which would satisfy hitn, but this had not been the case and he further states that, with the great majority of the bishops and the clergy of the Church of Englund, he believes that the education of the young is incomplete and may even be hurtful if religious instruction is excluded from it. He shows that by the present Public School Act the amount of religious • exercises allowed iihe schools is so limited that it is doubt. ful if there is any religious teaching, and that these schools are not what he hoped and expected they would be when the first act was passed. PREFERS PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. Ho further shows how the schools that were established by the English Church throughout the Red River settlement were made into public • sehools, and although he hoped that in these schools, at all events, res ligious instruction would be given to members of the English Church faith, this has not been done, and he is so much dissatisfied with the present state of affairs that he in- tiinates that lie would, if tie had the means, reestablish the system of parochial Reboots for the teaching of children of children of the English Church denomination, and that the reestablishment of parish schools is only a question of means and time. The affidavits of Messrs. Logan and Hayward are merely formal and to the same effect. The summons is returnable in the usual manne r. —Rev. John Bruce, a minister of the Free Kirk at Strichen, Scotland, has been adjudged the father of the child of Mrs. Arthur, after a trial which created intense interest.

When .0anada, during last year seemed to be the victim of an vide- tnio of murder, the tragedy which °toed the series of bloody deeds was perhaps the moat awful. Op' the night of January 27, John Hes- lop the treasurer of the township of Ancestor, eight miles from Hamil- ton, was sleeping quietly in his house about a mile from the village of Ancestor. Tho residence stands in a grove, of pine, and iss some dis- tance from the road. About 1.30 in the morning. three men wear- ing thick crape masks, drove up to the house. Finding every door and window securely fastened, they got a cordwood stick, and using it as a battering ram, weedily burst the kitchen door open. They entered the house and were confronted at the head of the stairs by old Mr. Heslop, armed with a heavy chair. A short fight followed, aud sudden- ly a pistol shot rang out. and the fall of a body was hoard by Mr Heslop's wife and daughter, who were hiding in a bedroom. One of the wen guarded the women, while the others searched in the safe for the township money; which they expected to find. They wore disap pointed. The safe contained .noth ing but bonds and debentures, and the two left the house. Emergiug from their`room, Mrs, and Miss Heslop found the master of the house dead on' the floor. The next day the case was put into tho hand of Government Detective Greer. Siuce then the officer has been working up the matter and he now thinks he has two ef the mur- derers.in the persons of John Bert- ram, a 54 year old resident of Brant County, and George Douglas, an Indiau. Tho pair aro uow in jail at Brantford on a charge of horse - stealing. It is said that Marine when alleged by P. C. Adams, was drunk and made a statement to the officer implicating himself, 1)0110, las and another Iudian numod Goosey- All three have a bad re- putation. Greer claims to haVe evi- dence that Bartram drove to Hamil- ton on the night of the murder,' that he was seen in tho city iu the inoruiug, and that ho immediately disappeare. d Goosey is also under arrest, and, like the other two, refuses to talk. A SINGULAR HORSE. A funny story story is told of Dean Swift, who was a witty man and fond of a joke at the exponse of other people, as most witty 'people are. One very cold night, says "Harper's Young People," when he was travelling, he stopped at a lit- tle inn. There was only one fire in the house and the guests of the inn, crowding about it, left no place for the new -comer. With a solemn face Dean Swift called to the hostler, and told him to get a peck of oysters immediately and take them out to his horse. "Will your horse eat o3aters, sir?" asked the astonished man. "Just take them out and'i'lsee," said the horse's master. The people around the fire started at the man who Owned this curious horse, and nearly every one left his seat and went out to see the re- markable horse eating oysters. Then the cunning dean made him. self comfortable in the warmest corner and ordered his supper. Presently back came the hostler, with the disappointed crowd after "He won't them, sir !" cried the hostler. "Then take the foolish animal all the oats he can eat," replied Dean Swift. "You can bring the oysters here. I'll eat them for supper my - Half," -(1 CONQUEST OF IRELAND. As Britain was peopled from Gaul, so was Ireland probably from Britain, although several Irish anti - (lindens think their country was peopled through Spain. The Irish had never been conquered, and the country, which was eplit up into a number of little kingdoms, had es- caped the civilising influence of the Romans. It was in a state of pro• found barbarism, the only towns on the island having- been planted along the coast ley the freebooters of Norway and Dgnmark ; and the usual title of each petty Sovereign was the murder of his predecessor. So matters stood until well in the 12th century. Henry II. of Eng- land had resolved on the conquest of Ireland as early as 1155, in which year he assembled a council at 'Winchester to consult on the ex- pediency of such a course, having already obtained the Pope's bull sanctioning the enterprise. In 1162 Dermot, having been beaten out of his province of Leinster, !sought re- fuge in England, and endeavored to persuade the English king to in - at this juncture was not in a posi- tion to carry out the scheme and so licensed certain of his subjects to •aSgat in tha Pr*Ote 0011aatItleilt• lY in, 1170 BOA.

Te pawner bad ing the Irish powers returned to England, in order to induce Henry to enibark in the conquest more completely. Dermot was 'dead ; and Henry was now perfectly in a position to carry out his designs. He landed et Waterford with an army, and on hisi march to Dublin most of the Irish princes gave in their allegiance. It was agreed that the English king should have Dub- lin, and Strongbow should govern the rest of Ireland under him. Thus the whole of Ireland became nominally subject to Henry's power. A subsequent renewal of the war was, after some difficulty, overcome. On the death of Strongbow Henry appointed William Fitzendeliu isa viceroy. 4 r44TIEVT.,, TitAGUPS. —.ma* ••••• BARRON-130UNCED. THE GRIT MEMBER FOR NORTH VIC TORIA UNSEATED. Lindsay, Out, Dec. 3.—The North Victoria contested election Cab. opened this morningsin the Court- house before Justices Felconbridge and Street. The evidence showed that. an act had been committed by Dr. Wilson, of Fenelon which the court cousiderrd a cor- rupt act. Dr. Wilsou had gone to fetch out a voter named Getchell to the polling booth on election day. Cutchell said he could not spare the time, and suggested some compensation, but the doctor said emphatically that nothing could be given. It appeared that Getcholl was hard pressed to pay his taxes, amounting to $4.88, and Dr. Wil eon next day loaned hint $5, repay- ment ot which he subsequently de- manded. The voto in no way de- pended on the loan. However the Court decided that it was a corrupt act, and. that Dr. Wilson was an ageut, of Mr. Barrou's. That set- tled tho question. The personal charges against Air. Barron were dropped. Mr. Barron is a Liberal. HOW ABSURD IT IS. To spend your earnings on whis- key and wonder that you aro so poor.

As the latter was feaving the dock in charge of the warders, be waved a farewell to his relatives, quickly drew a little 'bot- tle from his pocket, and,swallowing a dose of poison, almost iuetantly fell unconscious iuto the arms of one of the warders. Medical aid was instantly summoned, but it was too late. Baker died almost in- stantly, before he could bo carried from the court room. The greatest excitement reigned in the court- room, and the judge ordered pro- ceedings to be stepped for a time to give time for the sensation to sub- side. The jury which convicted Baker were witnesses of his suicide, and some of the dead mau's relatives did not hesitate to denounce the jury as having convicted him wrong- fully, and thereby driven him to his desperate deed, TRUE PHILOSOPHY. Madame Neckar re- lates the fol- lowiug anecdote of M. Ahaurot, a plilosopher of Geneva : "It was said of him that he nev- er had been out of temper; some persons, by means of his female ser- vant, were determined to put this to the poof. The womau in ques- tion stated that she had been his servant for thirty years, and she protested that during that time she had never seen him in a passion, They promised her a sum of money if sho would endeavor to make him angry ;she consented, and, know- ing he was particularly fond of hav- ing his bed well made, she on the day appointed neglected- to make it. M. Abauret observed it, and, the next morning, made the observala ion to bei ; she answered, that she had forgotton it; she said nothing more, but, on the same evening, site egain neglected to make the bed; the same observation was made on the morrow by the philoepher, and she again made somesuch ex- cuse, in a cooler manner than be. fore. On the third day ho said to her. You have not yet made my bed; you have apparently come to some resolution on the subject, as you probably found it fatigued you. But, after all, it is of no great con- sequence, as I begin to accustom myself to it as it it.' She threw herself at his feet, and avowed all to him." —A farmer near Windsor has been fined $50 for selling hard cider. —During last week's storm Thomas Vance, a prominent Killar- ney, Man., farmer, was severely frozen and may have to lose his hands and feet. —Mr. J.

He carefully observed the pheno- mena. He can not account for the appearance of the marks, but ho be, lieves them of natural origin. He saw the spots in the woman's hands appear, bleed and disappear. Also he observed tho marks of the cross on her brow and shoulder. The in- vestigation will be continued. Other physicians made observations, although not so extended, at tho same time with Dr. Coomes, and concur in his report. —It is wellknown in Scotland that most of the Highland corps ere largely composed of Irishmen, and a good story is told of Sir Hope Grant, Commander of the Madras Army, who, at a dinner given in hie honor, noticed the martial pipes playing, es in ueual, behind the chair of the guest of the evening, and Sir Hope, delighted at the In. epiring national tonere turned round to tho moat ,stalwart minstrel and exclaimed "It warm my heart to listen to the bonnie lilt I 'What pain of 'Scotland do yo oomo frac my mone "Connemara, yor hon., chest with t 0011R010lIft pride, while roar of laughter echoed ovorywhoro, in which Sir Hope heartily joined.
