A party of 120 Latter Day Saints from the Southern States, in charge of Elder John Morgan, passed through here last night en route to Morassa, in San Lois Valley, Colorado, where there is already a colony of between 300 and 400.

A large meeting sympathizers was Tyne on Saiurday.
Meetings were also held on Sunday at Leeds and at Manchester, where only 300 persons were present, and at Birmingham, where the hall was crowded.
At allof the meetings resolutions were passed protesting against the arrests of Davitt, Daly and Killen.
One of the greatest demonstrations that have ever occurred in County Mayo, was held at Swinford on Sunday. Nearly 29,- 009 farmers were present. Parnell made a speech in support of a resolution, which was adopted, condemning the action of the Government.
The Sligo prisoners will be charged before County Magistrates to-day. Only members of the press will be admitted. ‘Two solici- tors will defend Davitt and Daly. Kille: will defend himself. The request of the solicitors to visit the prisoners on Sunday was refused,
The Stendard’s correspondent at Balla describes the meeting at Loovamore as being. singularly tame. Less than 1,000 persons attended.
FRANCE, Paris, Noy. 22.
Tho Minister of Public Works has sub- mitted to the Cabinet an estimate of 600,- 000 franes for the expenses of preliminary inquiries into the Trans-Sahara Railway project.

Inquiry into the conduct of the ex- Ameer, Yakoob Khan, and his ministers in connection with the massacre of the British Embassy has been concluded. The report of the commission of inquiry has been for- warded to the Viceroy of India. Nothing has transpired to allay the unfavorable op inion hitherto current regarding the Ameer’s course. The Viceroy of India tele- graphs that five more Afghan regiments from Turkestan have arrived near Cabul, and will disband and go home. Probably the remaining regiments of the Cabulites in Turkestan will follow this example, as they have not any prospect of pay.
EUROPEAN. Lonvox, Nov. 22.

Tuis year Christmas Day falls on Thursday. The old rhyme says :—
If Xnias day on Thursday be,
A windy winter ye shall see ;
Windy weather in each week,
And hard teapests strong and thick ; ‘The summer shall be good and dry, Corn and beasts shail multiply ; That year is good for lands to till, Kings and Princes shall die by skill ; If 2 child born tfiat day shall be, it shall happen right well for he ; Of deeds he shali be good and stable, Wise of speech and reasonable. Whose that day go thieving about, He shall be punished without doubt; And if sickness that day betide, it shali quickly from the glide.
We learn that Messrs. Shedd & Moore have put up a starch factory at Eldon, Bel- fast. They have ihe necessary machinery on hand, large quantities of potatoes pur- chased, and they will, we hear, commence active operations ina short time. We can only hope that their enterprise will be minently successful. — Argus.

It fs expected six hundred guests will be present at the banquet to Sir John Macdon- ald. Hon Mr. Chapleau and Dr. Church will be present.
A young woman. applyirg for the situ- ation as teacher toa village school being questioned by the trustee as to her qualifi- cations, replied: ‘*I ain’t much of an arithmeticker, but Pm an elegant gram- marist.”
Mr. Inspector McTavish, of Fort Garry, is authority for the statement that the people of Manitoba expect the immigration into the North-West during the next twelve wionths of forty thousand people.
MoNTREAL SzweErs.—The city of Mon- treal has eighty-three miles ef public sewer, of which seventy-two miles are of brick, six of wood, four of pipe, and one of stone. The Craig street sewer, 8,765 feet in length, or 531 rods, has a fall of 7.85 feet, and cost $25,900 including the tools and machinery used in it construetion, or near- ly $49 per yard.
A butcher enters the office of a lawyer in France: ** Sir, I want your advice. [s the owner of a dog responsible for any damage that the animal may do?’ ‘ Certainly.” ‘‘Then your dog has run away with a leg of mutton from my stall, and I wiil trouble you for 10 franes.” Very well, my friend ; have yon five francs change?’ ‘* Yes, sir.” (Produces them). ** That just makes it
squaro ; my fee for advice is 15 francs.”
A Famous Ripz.—Genl. James Hills, V. C., has eclipsed Forbes’s ride. He was about starting from Candahar to Astrabad when news of the Cabul massacre reached him. Volunteering for service with Gen- eral Roberts, he left Candahar one day, and he next reached Darwaza, having ridden 180 miles, with two hours’ rest; after six hours’ sleep he left Darwaza and rode on to Jacobabad, 139 miles farther on, almost without rest.
A million and a qnarter dollars is the sum whic’: itis estimated Gen. Grant’s visit brought to Chicago. The caluculation isa very probable one :—The number of out- side visitors is placed by reasonable esti- mate at 75,000, each of whom is supposed to have spent $5 per day for three days, making a total of $125,000. Four leading hotels alone estimated their increased re- ceipts at $30,000. The cost to the city, chiefly expended in decoration, is estimated at $50,000, which generally went into the pockets of citizens.
In replying to the address presented to him by the officers and clerks of the impor- tant department of which he is the head, the Hon Mr. Langevin said :—I thank you, sentlemen, for the kind wishes to which you have givenexpression for the restoration of my health, and, although I cannot con- sider my services indispensible to the pro- gress of the country, nevertheless, I am happy that Providence has permitted my excellent physicians to bring me “back to health, and thus to furnish me with an op- portunity of contributing for several yoars more, L hope, to the consolidation of this confederation which I have aided in found- ing, and which I would like to see assured by the construction of the railway which is to make of Canada an immense empire and of our people a great, prosperous and powerful nation.
“Damxs on~ Tick.”—The Halifax New Reporter and Times says :—‘‘A case was tried a short time ago which illustrates the kind of law dispensed in some courts not over a hundred miles from the Halifax Post-office. The executors of a grocery and and liquer estate sue a delinquent debtor for an unpaid account, principally groceries, Debtor’s attorney produces a_ pass-book, and the debtor swears that all the ‘“‘sundries’ entered therein are ‘‘drinks,” which articles, under the laws of Nova Scotia, are not collectable: All these ‘‘sundrios” were struck off and yearly set- tlements were ignored, the credits for a long time being set off against the solids, while the liauids were set aside to such an extent that the plaintiff was actually made defendant, and vice versa. The conclusion of the matter was that the plaintiff was brought in debt to the debtor. This decis- ion will cause a general ‘shutting down’ of drinks on tick.
Fisu as Foop ror Antmats.—‘*The cai tle at Provincetown feed upon fish with ap- parently as good relish as upon the best kinds of fodder. We have seen the ‘cows at that place boldly enter the surf in pur- suit of the offal thrown from the fish-beats on the shore, and masticate and swallow every part but the hardest bones. A Pro- vincetown cow will dissect the head of a cod with wonderful -celerity. She places one foot upon a part of it, and with her técth tears of the skin and gristly parts, and ina few momgnts nothing is left but the bones. It is said that some cows there will, when grain aud fish are placed before them, eat the whole of the fish before they will tonch the grain.”—Barnstable (Mass. )
Journal, Feb. 7, 1833. We have accoants
‘of the feeding of fish to stock in the Kast jcentnries ago. It isa regular practico in ‘Northern Norway, where dried cedfish are 'used to piece out the stock of hay that does ‘not suffice for the long winter. In 1856 | Prof. Stoeckhardt, of Saxony, received a sainple of Norwegian fish-gnano, which he ‘fed to a half-year old pig, ‘“‘which dit ex- -ceptionally well on his northern food.” — !
