Abolition of the Legislative Council. MR. CHAPLEAU'S SCHEME.
T'o the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—As the members of the differen branches ef our legislature will now be preparing for active service during the coming seasion, I consider it proper that electors echou'd make whatever suggestions they think important threugh the medium of the press, in order to give their repre sentatives tinte to consider the advisability of taking action on the same during the session. Now, as it is more than probable that the representatives of the people will another effort te abslish the Legizlative make Council, and that their action will be un- done by the action of the upper branch, | think it would serve the Government's purpose to adopt the plan of Mr. Chaplean, the leader of the Quebec Government, in reference to this vexed question. On ac- eount of the heterogeneous nature of the population of the Provinces of Quebec, ths Premier does not favor the abolition of th: Legislative Council, but will introduce a measure during the coming session (should his Government be returned te power) msk- ing the position of Legislative Councillors honorary and without salary or allowance. Now I think this would work well on the Island also. We don’t object to the ‘‘old ladies” recounting their many ex- ploits of valor or the traditions of their families in the Upper Chamber ; bu’ we do object to paying them forso doing, and if we can get out of paying these gentlemen, the Legisiative Council will soon become a thing of the past. Ido not see how the honorable gentlemen who compose that august body can refuse to allow the taking away of their allowances, as they have time and sgain given as the reasons for holding on to the Council,—the love of constitutional Government and a desire to prevent hasty legislation, Now, as neither the one or the other is connected with the salary matter, they can see both properly carried out without costing the country one cent; and I hope the Government will takes this means of abolishing this useless appendage.
Yours, &c., THoMas. Georgetown, Nev. 10, ’81.

Montague Bridge Notes.
Saturday night the largest propertion ‘of ‘men leaving the Bridge were dritk; and the night air was full of sounds hideous and*profane. Five or six Temples of Bacchus—rather rum holes —are in full blast here, and our Magistrates are too y picking over rotten potatoes, which the
shi honest farmer brings in bags at dusk, to
pay any attention to such a minor matter as the Scott Act.
On Sunday morning a boy about twelve years of age, son of Mr. Alexander Camp- bell, blacksmith, Lower Montague, while drawing water for the horses accidentally fell inte the well. His brother saw him fall, and gave the alarm. Mr. Campbell rushed from his bed, without waiting to dress,
dsscended by the chain and “rescued his boy. Mr. Dunean Oampbell promptly conveyed Dr. Robertson to
the house, and the injured -boy was soon restored to consciousness, and there are now hopes of his recovery, though his head and shoulders are badly bruised.
Potatoes are 49 to 45 cents according to quality.
Mr. George Whiteman is loading a brigt. asis Mr. Kelly. There area few schooners still at the Bridge, all hope to clear before ten days.

During a great part of the past summer the volcano of Mayon, in the Philippine Islands, has been in an active state of eruption. The phenomenon ‘began by a low rumbling sound, which ultimate!y became a perceptible trembling of the ground adjacent. On the 28th of June the rain fell in torrents, and this continued until the 6th of July, the mountain at the same time giving forth sulphurous exhala- tions. On the evening of the latter day there wasareguiar erash, and during the following night there were three succeazive eruptions, the su’ terranecus rumbling con- tinuing all the time. The rain then began to fall in torrents as before. Some of the roads were completely swept out of exist- ence, and all travel was in consequence interrupted.
The Dublin Gaz-tie containing a list of the agrarian outrages in Ireland reported during the month of October makes the grand total 490, distributed as follows: Ulster, 32 ; Leinster, 102 ; Connanght, 133; Munster, 223. The nature of the crimes is as follons :— Murder, 2; firing at the per- son, 7; assaults on the police, 1; aggra- vated assault, 6; assault on a bailiff, 1; cutting and maiming of the person, 1; arson, 52; burglary, 7; ‘taking foroble possession of property,5; maiming cuitle, 17; levying contributions, 1; demanding arms, 4; riots, 2; administering unlawful oaths, 4; intimidation, 306; attacking houses, 8; resistance to legal process, 1 ; injury to property, 49; firing into dwel- lings, 14; obstructing the highway, 2.

Bight Million Dollars Stolen. ‘* HIGH MUNITY,”
BY MEN WEO sTooD IN THE COM-
The New York Commercial Advertiser sheds a iear over tne fact that of the many famous or defaulters which this country has produced, nearly every ove *‘stood high in the commun- ity.” Look at a partial list: Carleton, of the Union Trust Company, stole $409,- 000; Phelps, of the Tregsury Depart- ment at Albany, $800,000; J. C. Duncan, ot San Francisco, bank presi- $750.000 ; KE. D. Winslow, Boston preacher, lecturer, treasurer and Christian financier, $600,000: David Gage, treasurer, $500,000 ; Wardwell, bank Providence, $200,000; Abram Jackson, lawyer, trustee, etce., Boston. $809,000; John C Tracy, bank presidenty Hartford, 600.000 Joho R. Morton, Philadelphia, $1.000, 000; Henry Nicell, lawyer, New York, $200,009; G. Van NHollern, collector taxes, Chicago, $130,000. Here are 12
infamous
dent,
Chicago,
cashier,
men whose aggregate stealings foot up $8,500,000. In every case the thief was a man who “stood high in the community,” avd in most of them was a conspicuous fig-
fire in church affzirs. Oue might go back beyond the seven or cight years covered »y the above list, and find a sickening addition to it. There were very many defaleations withiu that period that have been omitted, but those mentioned were the largest. Itis a terrible picture to contemplate, that of men carefully eda- cated, surrounded by true and noble friends, and yet rushisg on to ruin, dis- grace, and a felon’s cell. What is the remedy ?
A Queer Méori Marriace.
A New Zealand letter to the London News says: A good clergyman who was working amougst the pative population was anxious to establish the sauctity of marriage amongst them, Among others who were candidates for the rite was a much-married aboriginal named Ngata- parapara. On arriving at the clause of the formula where candidates are directed to join hands, a strange sceve occurred, No sooner had, the direction been given than a whole bevy.of innmoratas sprang forward, two or three hanging on by the hands nod arms Of thie" would be Bene- dict, with an equal number hanging to his legs. He was completely besieged, pinned hand and foot, and, confusion was made worse confounded by a hugging and tugging by which the unfortunate fellow was in immipveut danger of dis- memberment. Seeing the turn things had taken the priest naturally enough paused and looked in dismay. ‘Go on,” cried the selpless bridegroom, “‘or can’t ye see for yourself these abominable wretches will have me dragged limb from limb!” Still the revered gentle- mau hesitated, seemingly at a loss what to de under such circumstances. * If you don’t get along,» cried the man, ‘aad bring this kindeof a thing to a finish, there'll be another dozen of them 1ere in less than no time, and when they fiud 1 havea’t gota flopper left to hang oa by they'll drag off the last shred of my blanketing i have over me.”
The situation Was now perplexing in the extreine, and there wagmething for it but te hurry over the serviee, and bring the comedy to an eud The sequel to this story is worth adding. In course of time this much married man died, as did the seven-times married weman of thegGospel. The question tien arcse who waghislawfully- matried wife. Some five-and-€wenty claim- ants appeared before the judye of the native law courtg,and the question to be determined was—had the womam who got hold ofsthe deceased’s hamd precedence over her who merely tugged at his legs. As there was consideraile property left behind, counsel were cmployed by the re- spective claimants, and it is said that their learned disputations on the respective im- portance of arms and legs left the unfor- tunate judge in the dilemma ef the maa without a leg to stand upon.

An ALLEGED PuGwaciovs Goat.— At Birmingham. England, the other day, Mr. Wm. Higgs broaght an action against Mr. W. H. Dunkley to recover £2 1s., for damages inflicted by defen- dant’s goat. Plaintiff was walking along Bull Street, whea defendant’s goat, which was drawing a new-fashioned perambv- lator, attacked hin from behind, and tore his trousers. It was coatended that the damage was too trifling to be com- plained of, and the judge said he did not, thiak froma legal point of view that he was entitled to anything. Plaintiff hap- pened to have a long petriarchial beard —-and the goat must have thought that he was infringing ou his prerogative. (Laughter.) He could not agree that the goat was vaturally a ferocious auimal, and he non-suited the plaintiff.
Ir is understood that the General Mining Asseciation are about opening a new colliery in the vicinity of the Victoria Mines, North Syduey. The'Pictou colleries have advanced the price of their coals to $2.20 per ton of 2°49 lbs ; they have orders from the Upper Provinces far beyond their capacity to fill, chiefly for the want of Intercolonial coal cars, The Grand Trunk wants 10,000 tons and is
sending dewn cars for itsgali! number have arrived at Truro,
