excited state of the people in Manitoba is
in no wise exaggerated. ` A revolt is far
more imminent than many imagine. If

acceded to in some' measure, there will be

bit of ice prevented them from working
freely, thereby causing a difference -in one
animal• of near 800 pounds, but the good
judgment of the buyer detected something.

years ago was appointed inspector; which
position.he held till last Deeember, dis-
charging the duties of that position in the
most faithful, and efficient manner, some
going so far as 'to say that his death is
yartly the result of toe close .attention to
the duties of his position. A number of
years ago he residetl'•-iu tl e -county of

quaintance of the Hon, A. Mackenzie.
