A CowaRDLY ASSAULT. —As & respectable lady of this city was proceeding homewards jast evening, (Monday.) about eight o’clock, nd when walking slong Baytield Street} peat her own residence, two men rushed | siter her, knecking her down and tearing; her clothing. By the timely appearance of Mr. Lemuel Miller, Teacher, she was re. jeased from them, the twe vi lians running swiftly away leaving their vietim lying senseless on the street, Mr. Miller assisted her to her dwelling where she shortly after- wards recovered from ‘her fright. It isa pity that such acts of lawlessness should go anpunished. Demons in human shape who can with impunity assault an unprotected femalo, deserve to be punished in a very summary manner.

Tax Arrest Or Press Desrvrcues.—While gome journals are condemnit z the Governor General, and some Major. DeWinton, for arresting the Press despatches containing informatio’ of the accident te the Governor General and Princess, the faul: really lies with the Telegraph Companies. Neither the Go- yernor General nor Major De Winton had any

wer Wnatever to delay or arrest the trans- mission of the simplest telegram of the humb-

lest citizen, radeh fess to lay an embargo on|

the eatire Press of Canada. The Telegraph management know this. The office managers at Oitawa deliberately committed an offence

ainst the Press and people of Canada —an » we believe, punisha)le at law. The mitter ought to be tested at once in the highest Courts.—S?¢. John Sun,

Heart Breaxine.—A ()u’appelle letter inthe Saskatchewan (N. W. T.) Herald sys :-—“A very heartrending occurrence took place the other day between the mounted police and Mr. Alexander Cun- ningham, who had just arrived from Winnipeg with freight for the police. Im- mediately after his arrival in the barrack room, lie (Cunningham), as a token of gratitude for the hospitable manner in which he had been received by the boys,

ed a bottle of liquor on the table, and, in total ignorance of the provisions of the North West Territories’ Act in the premises, wsked them to partake of the luxury. He was then made a prisoner and tried next morning before the Justice of the Peace, mid to his great astonishinent had te pay the enormous fine of sixty dollars. Now, notwithstanding that the action of the police in the mait-r was comforiable to the regu- lations respecting liquor in the North West Territories, don’t you think it was rather harsh treatment?

Winter Communication.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

_Siz,—A letter in‘ the Patriot of the 19th iuat., over the signature of Captain ‘'A Irving,’ the Contractor for the Ice Boat Service across the Straits, conveys to the public untiistakeable evidence of the dis- ‘ppoiament felt by the author at the sucvess sf the steamer Northern Light, this winter,

tween Georgetown and Pictou. Captain Itving’s impertinent allusions to Mr. A. C. McDonald, our deserved); popular represen- tative who preferred to take passage on his Way to Ottawa Parliament via Norther Light, tather"than via the Cape [ce Boats, are con- temptibly mean, and would be altogether beneath itive, but for the fact that Capt. Irving isin the pay of a Government whose ; Wise deci in) retains the Northern Light on

e present eo.iern route.

Perhaps ( .+»%. Irving is not sufficiently posted to kus » that the travelling allowance o members of the Dominion Parliament is the same whether they work their passage with a leather gridle around them, dragging Capt. Irving's winter ico beat after them cross the Straits, or adopt the more com- fortable route by the Northern Light. The travellin public in general, as well as the member tor King’s County, regardleas of ‘A Tings" interests and feclings in the matters, have deserted his favorite winter passage by ne Capes, for the eastern route by the ‘erthera Light. Hence the appropriate old

age, ** Sour Grapes."’ Capt. Irving must hot suppose that the public will ferget the many times in former years that we were Without mails, because of the impossibility of ae through lolly at the Capes. They re- Te too, the fatigue of the journey, not : de Crossing the Straits but also in getting ak Jrom landing places, miles from any
