Methodist issionary Society of theDs- mipion of Canada, about $2000 of which had been subscribed in Charlottetown: The Rev. E. Ryerson Young, one of the
deputation from the headquarters of the Methodist Missionsry Society to tae Lower assel bly North Young voice is
vidressed the larg» labors in the Grest West fmong the Indians. Mr. is a pleasing speaker, his good, he speaks deliberateiy, distinctly, and has the power of making «a jengthy speech without wearying his hear- ers. His speech, last night, occupied one pouraniahalf in the delivery, and full of anecdotes and incidents connected with his life in the far west and on the prarie for the last ten We have not space to give any more than an incom plete summary of the addres. Mr. Young says that Manitoba is one of the finest Provinces in the Dominion, con- taining some of the best lands for agricu- tural purposes, to be found on the contix nent. Tse soil is rich, and ih many places going to the depth of four and five feet. No fertilizers are needed, and a man has not tospend a lifetime in clearing the land of trees and stumps. To his knowledge, farmets have reaped over seventy busht!s Potatoes grow toan The only drawback . to

of oats to the acre. enormorls size. the farmers 1s the hoppers § which descend upon like hail, and devour every geen herb and plan’, not being to fastidious to tackle tie Cana la thistle and other weeds in their on- ward march of destruction. The speaker nex&gave a graphic account of his travels from-Manitoba to Norway Honse, where nowis one of the largest missions in the world, Onhis way there, he was com: pelled to take his place in the stern sheeis ofaskiff, with an ox boxed up amidsbip, The head of the ox bung over one side of the boat and hi; tail over the other. In the forward part of the boat were the Indiaas who guided it through the perilous rapids The graphic account of his trave's from Norway flouse to the far North, where no white man had ever preached the gospel to the red man till his arrival, was interesting in the extreme. The hardships which pio- neers have to endure, are exceedingly try- ing while travelling over stretches of snow, for three, four, and even five hundred miles, The mercury in the thermometer being thirty anc forty degcees below zero wito no trees at times to shelter them from the cold blasts that sweep witb iu- tensa keeness over the prairie. She means of travelare by dog trains, four dog3 being harnessed in tandem in a sled mide of oak boards, about eighteen inches in width, and ten feet long. The speaker vividly describe! the councils which are bild by the Indians. The principa, Chief occupying the centre of the gather- ing.those nextin rank are seated near him, wiile the hunters arrange themselves at the back of them, the women and girls being couched. at the outskirts of the circle. Here the speaker alluded to the difterence between the treatment of women among christians andtheir treatment among pagins Much as men owe to Christianity women are uader greater obligations to it for their social position. The Indian pagan treats his squaw like a dog. and he had seen a strong, stalwart brave brutally abuse his mother for a simple murmur in one ef their counsels. The Indian women are very fond of imitating their white sisters. The audience was amused with the ac. count given of this propensity to imitate indress. On one occasion a lady, the wife of an officer of the Hudson Bay Com paby, bad returned from Ontario to her home, end wore the fashionable that came just to the point of the adie. Christianized Indian girls who wore liair nets, drew them over their heads, down part of the face and hooked them on the points of their noses in imita. tion of the fashionable veil. The only in. stance which he knew ot ‘stealing among them was when they robbed his ash barrel of its hoops to have ecrinoline like the white lady. The audience listened with atten- tion during the whole of the address, and| doubtless many will, of their abundance |

The
‘upon the area of
raries are finding fault with the late ad- dition to the Police force, on the ground that the number is two large in proportion to the population, Now, this is a most fallacious way of reasoning. ‘the Pclice Vorce required for a city depends chiefly, upon the population, but, to some extent. the city. To patrol a city, covetiag the ground that Charlotte. towa ‘oes, a certain force is required wkether the population in that area is larger or smaller. The present force will be sullicient, even when our town is much more thickly peopled then it nowis. But that does not imply that it is too large a
present.
People often talk very unfairly about the Police force. When there were only eight men, if anything happened in any part. of the town, the cry was -at- once made }. ‘‘ Where was the Po'ice/”” Not more then half the force could be on duty at once; two of these had to be in the Station. That would feave two to patrol the whole town, and they were blamed if they.did not -als Ways happen to be just where the distur- bance vecurred. This was most unfair,
lf, with the increased
fyice, loafers are kept off the corners, cows. off the squares, trot‘ing matches and diunken men off the streets, if the town is well patrolled, «nd if, upon the outbreak of a row, an efficient force is soon upon the, spot, the citizens ought not—and will not—gradge the ‘tn- creased expense. The force before not sufficient for a city” of this area, even if it bad only ha!f the population,
