A Deserved Compliment Among the.extensive general news­ paper advertisers of the .country, the firm of .Wt-1 Is & Richardson, of Burlington, Vt., '■occupy, a • Very proniiiient position. They expend $100,ObQ annually, and have done so persistently for several years. O’f course they have become immensely, rich,—tile qlmost universal ex per ience of those who thus use printer's ink* liberally, judiciously and per­ sistently. Tlyi business of this firm extending through every state in the Vtiion, their advertising is naturally done within every state and through a general ageucy. They very wi.sely selected Hubbard’s International Newspaper Agency, of New Haven, at the outset ; and a private letter from the home office in Burlington, just received, speaks of the business; bavirig been done by Mr.~Hubliard iii a most thorough and satisfactory manner. This’ testimony to the . fidelity and skill of our friend Hub­ bard in transactions covering five years ,vnd involving an expenditure of more than half a million'dollars,- is about as fine a compliment »s he or any other.' reasonable man could ask for or wish.

On Saturday, January 24,,I took a load of wheat to town. That eve­ ning I wen£ to a dance in the neigh­ borhood, telling Airs. Snell I was going to a literary club. Saturday “morning • she found I had been to. the dance, to- which 'she was much opposed, Jand scalded mo until she made.me angry. -I went to the barn, ..then returned to .the house,' when she resumed the scolding, and that is theJasti-know. -i.dau't.kiiaw.. how-1 killed them, whether with an • axe or .beat' their brains out with a dub or hammer.

I hated the sight of the moneys and and spent it as fast .as I could to get rid of it. .. THREATS OF LYNCHING, Grand Forks despatches state that there is much .excitement there, and lynching is freely talked of in case Miller is takeri to that place. Parties from Larimore'say that, tho feeling thero is exceedingly bitter, and that there, would be no hope for the mur­ derer if taken there. Tho funeral of the victims of this"horrihle tragedy occurred on Monday, the services be­ ing held by the Bev Mr Huntly, super­ intendent of tho Baptist mission in North Dakota. .A string of waggons half a mile' long: followed the hearse. Much sympathy is expressed for the boreaved husband ; and the throe children left. The amount of monoy* .for which the crime was commuted' is about §800. REV, MR. SNELL, husband and father of thb murdered woman and child,-is a wolbknowri Baptist minister, and was for several vyears .incunibent ot tho church at? Port Oolborno. A largo number of people who- were formerly, members ‘of bis congregation having removed to Dakota, extended a* call for him to come west* and administer to their Spiritual wants.

The following is a choice extract from the speech of O’Donovan Ros- sa made at a meeting of dynamite fieuds in New York on a recent Sunday evening :— ^’When Burke and Cavendish Were slain, a fo.v years ago, a cry-of horror- went. up. -I stood alone among the editors of the country in defence of that .removal, I cried fof"jby. And now every ”nfan anil woman in America except the An glo-mauihcs are glad those villians were slain.' I believe not an Irish’* heart exists ip.

FROM THE TORONTO globe; Ata recent meeting of. the Nor­ thumberland County. Council, th? following resolution passed by a. oLHAqZj'- .\Vlierpas, The Scott Act ancj the •Dominion Liquor Licence Law have proved inoperative and ”'inef­ fectual for the prevention of Intem? perance iir this county ; And where as, the said 'Acts, by- depriving, this Municipal Cuuncil of the authority to issue licenses to liquor dealers, .has deprived the County of .some $2,500 per annum revenue, former­ ly obtained, from the sale of liquor in this County. And wheFeas, the sale of" intoxicating drink lias hot rather increased in consequence outlie uncertainty of the law in tlie premises., Thore- fortfTRBol ved, That This Council is of opinion that a repeal of the Raid Scott Act, etc.; and a return to the former system- of license is highly desirable in the interests of .the rate payers -of this county. Further resolved, that the Councillors from the seyera! parishes'be authorized to call meetings to ascertain the foel- ingsof the people as to the'repeal of the said Act.. > PART Gil EAT Eft.

On the day oLtho capture, which is var­ iously stated h's the 2Gth and 27th. of January, Gordon’s attention was attracted by a tremendous tumult in the streets. ’ He left the so-called palace or government building, in which he had* made his headquartera, to asi'ertaiij tho cause.. As he reach-’ ed the street he was stabbed in-.l'he ••ack, and fell dead. The tumult was caused by the Mahdi’s trooos, who had gained access tn the inter** ,ior of the town through treachery, and who were soon in complete pos­ session of the.place, including the ritadeh A fearful massaoro of th? garrison followed.
