CHEAP OCEAN POSrAGE•
The Postmaster general hae arranged to
reduce the rate of letter postage betWeen
Great Britain and the Dominion from 12;
to 6 cents. This is an idea which Elihu
Burritt long ago propounded -a penny to
America, a penny across the ocean, and a
penny for Great Britain. We think, in
go.' We trust it will lead to aaargely in-
creased interchange of correspondence be-
tween relatives and friends on :either side
of the Atlantic. This sort of leper -writ-
ing is v-ery apt to be neglected, when so
I great a distance is interposed,Y and when
mutual asseciations and pursuits are en-
tirely difierent. 'But there is -no better
mode, of cultivating the genial side of our

The Grand Trunk Railway,
The adjourned half yearly meeting of
the above was held at London (England).
Mr. Richard Potter, the President, gave a
lengthened account of his recent Ameri-
can experience.. His visit to this Country
will do much to enlighten British capital-
ists as to the true basis on which to calcu-
late the sticcess `of Railway enterprise on
the American Continent. He found that
all calcnIationa as to permanent way had
been falsified by oveeestitnating the life of
an iren-rail. When the new steel -rail
(which is -being universally adopted), has
been laid on the Grand Trunk, an appre-
ciable difference will be felt in the yearly
cost of maintenance and renewalawhiekcost
however, would n st be less than,$300,000

Declaration of Poll.
The result cf the town elections wars
publicly declared on Monday last,at noon,
by Mr. James Thornpsou, Town -Clerk..
MR Heys thanked the electors for placing
him in the Mayoralty- ; and did not desire
to crow over his success, but promised to
do his dnty faithfully and fearlessly. MR.
Ceeras thanked these who did vote for
him ; and said he had himself to blame for
not being returned at the head of the
Poll ; which he would have been if he had
worked half as hard as Mr. Hays did.
MR. GIBBONS was obliged to the electors
for returning him,as Reeve without his
needing to &elicit • a single vote. MB.
LEONARD ftsllowed, with his usual rhodom-
ontade, which conduces to the amusement
of the people, but by no means heightens
their respect for him. The most sensible
remark he made was that he would not
run again mail voting was date by ballot.

THE WEATHER AND Busneess.-After
an almost inceseant storm of 10 days, the
weather now appearssettled. The market -
square to -day presents a very lively ap-
pearance and a continuous stream pi pro-
duce -laden sleighs, is coming in the north -
war, imm inen tly endanger ing the settlers
on the American side of the line. I have
commtinicated with the President and the
Commander of the Military Department,
and am assured that the matter is receiv-
ing due attention. At the conclusion of
Gov. Marshall's addressthe new Governor
of Minnesota, I-lorace Austin, was sworn
in. He delivered bis inaugural address
in the presence, of the Legislature, thc
Judges of the Supremo Court, Gen. Han-
-cock and staff, and other distinguished
personages- In referring 'to the Red
River rebellion, he says :- 'Owing to the
disturbed condition of the British provin-
ces on our northern fiontier, and the sense
of sympathy felt by our* people by the
threatened hostilities on the part of certa-
in bands of Sioux Indians, whom it is
feared will become involved in the. con-
troversy, and wreak their slumbering
vengeance upon the American settlement
if left in its present defencelees condition,
it is deemed proper that the state authori-
ties should invite the general government
to station and maintain a military force
in the vicinity of Pembina, sufficient to
insure protection to the people.of that re-
mote set th went.'

MUTILATED PROVINCIAL NOTES. -A

is now kno vn that the work of mittilating
these notes is carried on systematically by
villaina, whose plan of, operation is as fol-
lows : They secere a numbee of bills of a,
certain denominatioti, and from each bill
they tear off a sniall piece, until they have
got enough pieces with which to patch op
a new one. The original bills are not
sufficiently damaged to allow the bank to
refuse payment, and the patchwork is so
skilfully put together as to deceive any
tine but tho bank expert. The publio will
do well to decline takineny bill which is
thus mutilated, as they Will without doubt weeks peeek,es, Qne of the so taturnel

A KNIFE -GUN. -The Prussian needle
gun has a formidable rival in the form of
a nuarriessergewhr, or knife -gun -the new
beeach-loader alive -Med by Herr Mayhofer,
of Kanschen, East Prussia. At the reaeot 1
trial in 'Konigsberg, twenty-five rounds,
with full catridge, are said to have been
fired off per minute. The missile penetra-
ted at .a distance of two Thousand yards.
The piece carries with great precision, aed
has the great advantage of a minimum
smoke. The invention extends to the
cartridge as well as to the gun. The in-
ventor had repeated his offer to sell his
patent to the Prussian gnvernment, but it
has not yet been accepted. Fle has spent
his whole fortune, of twenty-five thousand
dollars, in the production of the dna and
threatens to go to Austria or France if
Prussia does not give him an answer soon.

To the Editor of the Cigna
: -In the absence of Mr. Simpaon,
our esteenied Reeve, I beg to inform
Ratepayer that the Collector of Stanley is
not collecting from three separate rolls.
Owing to the wetness of the past season,
many of our Pahmasters were unable to
make their returns within the time fixed
by statute, and among those late returns
were the names of three persons whose
Idior was returned " not worked ;" these
were charged on a separate sheet, and sent
to the Collector, There was no other
monied of reaching said unwrought labor
as the roll was in the Colleotor's hands
having such notes in their possession.
There is no doubt the practtsers of this
low swindle will be found out and punish-
ed, as the authorities are on the track. In
the meantime, the public should refuse
point blank to accept mutilated notes,
and thus they themselves will help to put
an end to these operations. -Quebe,c Chron-
icle.
ThePlam Dinner,
Neddle and Rose took their dinner -
basket out under one of the maples of the
playground to eat their dinner.
" It's nice and shady here," said Rose
'and I couldn't bear, Neddie, to take our
plain bread and butter and doughnuts oot
there inthe school -room. Nellie French
had a jelly tart and a great slice of pound
cake for her dinner, and Abbie Lawrence
a dear little -mince -pie made on purpose for
her and some of the nicest fruit -take. I
do wish mother could afford . us such
things.'
'This is gciod enough for me,' said philo-
sophical Ned ; 'we cen study a great deal
better after our dinner, than we °mild if
we had nice pie and pound -cake. I often
think of that old Iiidian grandfather once
told raa about. Grandfather was hunt-
ing -hes-Cows which had strayed in the
woods, 9ne rainy morning, and he came
across an old Indian whom he knew In.-
dians were plenty in those days, and boys
weren't afraid of them. =The old man had
tried and tried to make a fire, and cook
him some breakfast, but the wood was too
wet to burn. So at last he gaveit up, and
took out an old hard bit of Johnnycake,
and began munching that.
" I shouldn't think you. would like
that," said grandfather.
" The old Indian gaYe an Ugh.' and,
said, 'It's my victuals, and me will like
him.' He made up his mind to make the
best of whathe had. and I think we should
be happier if we did the same. Tt ere's
poor little Joe Winters, now • he didn't
bring auy dinner at all. What do you
suppose was the reason ?-'
" I dare say," said Rose, 'they had
nothing in the house for him to bring."
"Suppose we share our • dinner, with
him."
It was done, aocordingly. and the re-
mainder of that bread and butter and
doughnut seemed sweeter to those children
than any poundcake ever did to a aelfish
child.
There is- nothing that sweetens the
humblest fair like sharing it with some one
more needy still. Jesus loyee such acts of
charity, and even a cup of cold water,given
from luve to him, will not lose its reward.
-Presbytrrian
•
from the vicinity of Ratepayer. With the
exception of the above the Collector's roll
coatains neither more nor less than the
aesessment roll. It is not necessary, Mr.
Ratepayer, for the Clerk to write the cer-
tificb.te on every page of the rall ; it is
done oti one and tnat serves for the whole.
With. respect to the charge of "mis-man-
agement," I challenge Ratepayer or any
oue else to point out one such case dur-
ing the last three years. Everything a
council could do, bas been done for the
gond of the township ; the taxes were
kept :as low OS the wants of the people
permitted ; every elollar spent has been
made' to go. as far as Possible ; and a de-
sire to benefit the people has characterized
every actiun of the ceuncil ; and the rate-
payers manifested their apereciation of its
members at the Polls by returning all the
old council who applied for re-election.
Butitis a notable fact that with a disap-
pointed office -seeker every thing goes
wrong and is mis-managed.
I also beg to inform Ratepayer that I
have been a resident householder in this
township over eight years, and have paid
taxes therein six ; and when I cannot live
in the township with credit to myself and
profit to others I will leave ; I would dis-
dain to remain, like a withered stuck in
society, after iny tisefulness therein ceases.
But 1 rather imagine that my obnoxious-
ness consists in my flight being too tardy
to suit Iaatepayer. 1 brought as much
wealth into the township as he, and if less
fortunate in acquiring property, it is be-
cause I did not wish to resort to the same
means, and %hen I do get property, it
shall be ,go:; honorably and above board.
If a caretul and proMpt attention to the
diacharge of.the duties of my office, and a
stfong 'desire to oblige every person
having business to trepsact, smells of
patent combination, I beg to plead guilty
to the charge ; and while the council see
fit to honor me villa- the charge of its af-
fairs, so long shall it be my desire and ob-
ject to serve every person in the township,
whatever may be his creed or political op-
inions. A gentleman held a very impor-
tant office in this township for some time
(no doubt Ratepayer is well acquainted
with him) who would not attend to its
duties with civility, and who got porssess-
ion of more property than many thought
consistent with his income ; the council
saw the nropriety of dismissing him from
the offi.ce and appointing a man of a more
obhging nature. If ratepayer applies again
for office, I have no doubt his,application
will receive, at the hands Of the council,
that conaideration which it merits.
