The scouts went up be­ tween the two rivers and camped during Monday night in the woods morning they aporoached Edge Lake battle Held at Cut Knife Hille, and surveyed the pcene of the bloody fight. The surrounding country was all on fire. The scouts believe Poundiiiakor baa returned into the woody ’fastnesses and ravines at Sounding Lake or Two Ponds, which are thirty and thirty-nine miles due west. Eight scouts leave to-day, taking three days rations, and , will endeavor to discover where the In­ dians have gone. It is believed that the supposed retreat of the enemy is the result? Has this man been induced to commit perjury by .what bus been done? If he has, 1 believe more injury has been done to the morality, of the community than could possibly have been done by that man violating the law by selling liquor upon that occasion. An immense crowd gathered in front of thc Court House in Rich*- uiond, Kentucky,Man 5, to witness a public sale of negroes into slavery" to the highest gidder. One man -brought $38 for twelve months' service, one $14 for three months, and a woman 25c for twelve months, the sales were made under the vagrant laws of the State. Mrs, Hiram Pfaulz, ageiJ12, of Reading,J Pennsylvania, residing near Lititzt took her fiye children to the mill pond, threw them n)l into the stream, and then jumped in her­ self and was drowned with two of her children, aged 1 and 3. The other children, the oldest aged- 10, were rescued, and resuscitated with- great difficulty. . Religious excite­ ment was the cause,. At“"Walthurville, South Carolina, a nun]her of colored millhands who had just been,paid off indulged in a game of poker. The pot’amounted to $40 or $50, arid* as' the gamesters were all flushed with, liquor they were considerably’ excited,, and one accused another of cheating,15' Words followed, and as’ Hie accuser drew a knivethe man- who had been-charged with cheating drew a revolver and fired. The ballet. entered .the fore­ head, and the victim fell a corpse across the cards and table. The friends’of the deadi man arose to av- enge the murder, while those of the slayer rallied to his defence, Each side was. well armed with knives and revolvers, and "in the fight that fol­ lowed five were killed and four or five badly'wounded. Other hands came up and took a hand in the struggle, and it eventually,, assumed the proportions of a riot. The fac­ tion which started the trouble fled, "pursued by a posse. If any of the fugitives are captured lynching is certain. directly paupers is correct enough, but it is to be feared that Canada is too generous to schemers,to be just in this. ' . • pNHUNG VERMJN. « The Barrie Aiwww'ner (Reform), discussing the effect of the Scott Ae$ in that region,, aaya The first effect of the A<?t will be a serioBH loss of revenue to the town, w|»ich" will probably reach the sum of $2,000 and T over, from absence of license fees and depreciation of hotel pro­ perty and the property hitherto .used1 as breweries, which deficiency will -have to be made up by ’ additional taxation. Should, however, crime diminish to any appreciable extent under thp Scott Act, as its advocates confidently predict it will, any loss of revenue that may result from its operation will be a mere bagatelle when weighed in the scale of an im­ proved morality; A few months will enlightep us gs to the.Workings of-the Act, and indiciite whether it is or. is not a beneficial temperance measure, which, it- is needless to say,- is a very debateable question just now. We hope, • however, it is not true, as stated,Alut the Scott Act agitators have decided to overrun the county with.informers. These unhung vernfin,::'-are the pests and pariahs of any community, and a disgrace to any cause employing them, for .they tempt persetns to break the law to get the pelf secured •by their conviction. The employ­ ment of such rascals is uncalled for, and will intensify and embitter the strong opposition to the Act already existing, and make the remedy worse than is the disease itself. - A Disappointed Lover’s J&d- End.—-Last Wednesday, a young­ man’ named Armstrong, of Hep- worth, visited. Tara, in Bruce t. o., 'in company Jwith two ,sisters named Partridge, to one of. whom he was' engaged to be married. They made several purchases . at one Q.f the Stores, and left the wedding dress -i n- th e h ahda of; a^d ressmaker? Some other articles were also select­ ed and left at the store to be1 paid when called for. ’ On his return home his father learqed what -was proposed, and declined, to 4 furnish the funds for carrying, out the scheme. The boy then, endeavored to find employment whereby to earn the money, but*-in this he also fail­ ed. Returning1 home in a despon­ dent.mood, he mixed a glassful of. paris green, and took the dose, after which lie washed and shaved" himself, and went .to bed. As soon as Ins act was discovered .liis father endeavored to procure - medical aid, but before, he’could-do so the poison had; finished its work. * ’ - ■*. THE WEEK’S DOINGS, CANADIAN.

One’of them vaiorously tasted it, and .then remarked that “lie did not like it, and it might be . poison, for aU lie knew.” It was in vain that the coroner protested that doctors do not, as a rule, send out- poison for medicine ;. ibe jury was inexorable, and insisted that "the uu- ■ happy doctor should swallow- his nostrum theii and there as a proof of its harmlessness. • The medical man, as in duty bound, said lie was per- fec.tly willing to do so, but pleaded .

Londoh Jost week, the Judge, ~in qommejiting upomtbu fact’of bring-, ing Toronto defectives therersaid For, my own part I regret exeeednrg,-’ ly that'in-.the City-of London;,a garitleman holding the position of’ Inspector [of Licenses., should .have, thought. fit to bring from ahothet city men for the purpose of inducing ' others to commit an offence. In my Judgment it is to.tally, reprehensible and demoralizing in any one to em­ ploy detectives to-.induce a man - to cbinmit .an offence. Th'ere is a gf.eat.deal of difierence between ipr. -dupi-ngm-man“to--comttitfrni-ii---offeiiT)e- •and; detecting an offence after it has committed. A man who marks a “piece of money", and puts, it in his till because he has reason to suspect one of his clerks of dishonesty,/and that . piece of money is found On the sus­ pected ;clerk—that is "no.t an impro­ per proceeding, becuuse marking the' money did not induce the man to take' aiiy more than if it were not marked,~ But if a" man'had' reasop to .suspect. that another jnan Was dishonest, and he went, to him and saidk Now here Mr; Murray’s, the jeweller, iSa very nice place to rob, and w? can make-a good thing out of it.

Now, I say/ffhat would be exceedingly 'demoralizing" ahd ...improper, tliouglrthe man who’was induced to commit the offence would be responsible for it. ' He would he -guilty-of-the crime though be was induced to do it in that way* In' anotlier part of liis summing up His Lordship again made » pointed re­ ference to ther employment of detfec- tiv.es in this way. He said it was exceedingly demoralizing and impro­ per on the part of these detectives to do what they did, and still more reprehensible in a man holding the position o.f Inspector of Licenses to* Hire a man for tlie purpose of- com­ mitting it;- I have no hesitation in ’WpljAsizing this as vehemently as it is possible for me to do so* The cause of temperauce, if it must be promoted by such means, will prove to bo a cmrse to the country rather "than a benefit,...

" But lev Canadians have any ade> quate idea of the direct money gain to us of our connection with the Empfrft, and of the extent of our •yearly debt to Great Britain in the one matter of defence alone.

Our true share of that expenditure would ,not be far from seven millions of dollars. If we attempted to guard our shipping for ourselves we would have to spend four times that sum yearly, and then We could, not adequately ncoomplish what is now done for us, absolutely'1 for nothing.
