The Northwest.
’ oe
A gevtleman who has just returned | ‘a firmer believer than ever in the) future of the Great Northwest, writes to} the Montreal Gazette
‘‘Agsto the harvest, the yield l think | has been, speaking gene rally, fully up to, if not exceeding, the expectations of the | most sanguine—there is no disguising the | fact theugh, that in some instances a good deal of damage was done by early frost, | but atill in no case I came in contact with | u» to an) thing like the much exaggerated | accounts circulated by telegrams and other wise, | cannot help thinking, by interested persons for ulterior motives.
‘After carefully weighing and sifting all the evidence I have heard throughout the | leneth and breadth of the Province, coupled with my own personal observation, through | an extended tour, I feel certain that the loss in Manitoba was certainly not more than say from three to four per cent. of the entire yield, and certainly in every case which came under my own notice was where there had been late sowing. Next season, there having been such an enormous extent of fall ploughing done, will be a far better test as to the fecundity of the soil, than this has been.”

How the Scott Act is Evaded in St. Stephen.
a
A St. Stephen correspondent of the Tele- graph writes: The town officers of St. Stephen have recently taken steps to enforce the Scott Act, and on complaint made by the town marshal, one dealer was fined $50 last week. It was understood that proceed- ings would be taken against others who have been selling openly during the past few months.
It is supposed to be law that a man can- not be tried twice for the same offence, and in order to forestall further suits by the town authorities, the liquor dealers, or some vf thezn, have been holding a court of their own. It is held under the direction of legal counsel. Two friendly justices of the peace set in judgment. A friend} makes complaint against Mr. A. or Mr B. for violation of the Canada Temperance
Act, covering a term of sixty days. Several persons are summoned, who} will swear that they never bought, o2
saw anyone else buy, liquor fromthe de- fendant within the time specified. Care will be taken that the witnesses should be | carefully selected and that no inconvenient teatimony should be given. The defendant is acquitted and everything is lovely. The complainant and the defendant, the prose- euting attorney, the jusiices and the wit-
nesses all separate with the best of feeling,
toward each other, and the authorities are precluded from any action against the parties covering the same time. This is a neat, ingenious and effective way of evading the enforcement of a tyrannical law. That is the way to look at it; but other par- ties say that the whole proceedings are collusive and fraudulent and would have no force when pieaded in stoppage of a genulue action, and it is further said that the attor- ney and justices are liable to have their commissions taken from them for holding mock trials and engaging in a conspiracy to defeat the operation of the law and the ends of justice. Itis avery pretty problem as it stands, and as the papers say ‘‘we await further developments.”

Yarmouth Cotton end Duck Mill.
ed
The uew duck mil] at Yarmouth, N. 8., the property of the Yarmouth Duck and Yarn Company, is completed so far as the | building is concerned; the machinery will | be putin immediately, and it is expected that the mill will be put in full operation in a few months. The mill has an excellent location, having both water and rail accom- : modation close at hand. The building is; of brick, covering a ground area of 128 by 944 feet and three stories high. It is sub- stantially built, the timbers being very strong, as the machinery necessary for the manufacture of cotton duck is very heavy, requiring a strong building to support it.
The company was organized on June 16th of the present year, and since that time astonishing progress has been made ia gett- ing the building ready for the reception of machinery. Ground was broken almost immediately and on July 9th the corner atone of the building was laid. Work was pushed along with great speed considering the scarcity of brick layers, and now the building is completed, ready for the recep- tion of machinery. The machinery, part of which is being built in England and part in Yarmouth, will be ready for erection in a short time, and when it is all up it will be put in motion. The boilers are already in place.
The Yarmouth Dack Mill is the only mill of the kind in the Dominion of Canada, and there appears every prospect of its success. The capital of the Company is $150,000, and as most of the stockholders are also extensive shipbuilders, it thus ensures a large local trade. Only one-half the machinery requisite to fully equip the mill will be put in at the start, but it ig esti- sated that the output will be about 1,000,- 000 yards of sail-clotha year. The officers of the company are Mr. D. Lovitt, presi- dent; Mr. Samuel Killam, vice-president; Capt. F. Killam, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Jchn Oldfield, a gentleman of exten- sive experience in cotton manufacturing, is the managing director. The plans for the building were made under his personal supervision; he also is superintending the | erection of the mill. In every respect the | building is complete and with the first-class | machinery it is intended to put in, the work turned out should be of the first quality.— St. John Telegraph.

Explosion at Ottawa.
During the visit of Lord Lansdowne and: the Marchioness at the Ottawa Normal School recently, one of the professors at- tempted to show their excellencies a few experiments in the laboratory. While ex- | perimenting with a jar of hydrogen it ex- ploded, striking the ceiling and falling on the heads of the vice-regal party. The explosion was heard from outside the build- ing. The report was soon scattered around the city that au attempt had been made to Sseassinate the Governor General.

“A Pretty Suiall Piece of Business.’
KFEPER'S VERSION OF THE MATTER.
Sirn,—l have been placed in a false porition in an article printed in Tus DatLy ExaMingR of the 20th November entitled, ‘‘A Pretty Small Piece of Business” charg- ing me with trying to get paid a second time for repairs to Bonshaw Court House for which L am keeper,
Now, the facts of the case are these: During the last local election campaign the Court House at Bonshaw was opened at Mr. Campbell's request for a public meet- ing. A pane of glass was broken at that tine, another pane was broken previously by accident. I stated these facts to Mr. Campbell. He told me to buy the glass to replace the broken ones and furnish the bill and that he would pay for them. I did as directed by Mr. Campbell and he refused there and then to pay for them, not be- cause that they were paid for before, but because they were procured from a firm who was opposed to him in politics. Mr. Campbell then told me to get the glass from
lanother firm and that I would be paid for
them on production of the bill when I would be drawing my salary, two months hence. The article in question also accuses me of charging the Local Government with damage done at the Dominion Election meeting. There was no window glass broken at that time, and I am quite pre- pared to prove that the agents of these gentlemen only paid their own lawful ex- penses. Joun MarHeson.
Another Literary Institution.
A number of the young men—members of last year’s debating society and literary institate —met in their club room, at this place, on the evening of the 24th instant, and re-organized the society under the name ‘‘The Mount Stewart Debating and Literary Institute. The following were elected officers for the season:—
President—Horace McEwen.
Vice-President —H. F. Feehan.
Treasurer—Roderick McDonald.
Secretary—Alexander McDonald.
The several necessary committees were then appointed; Wednesday night of each week chosen for meeting, and the subject, ‘*Were the Wars of Napoleon Justifiable,” selected for the first night of debate. Opener, Alex. McDonald; Respondent, 1. F, Feehan, after which meeting closed.

Our Winter Port.
(Montreal Gazette. )
The excellent reputation*attained during several winters past by the Allan Line in connection with the Intercolonial and Grand Trunk Railways for fast time be- tween Europe and all Provinces in the Dominion, is well exemplified by the de- spatch given at Halifax this week to the ‘‘Sarmatian’s” mails, passengers and cargo; the former were forwarded two hours after arrival, reaching. Chaudiere, a distance of 680 miles, in a little over twenty-one hours (including all stops), and Montreal on Tuesday at 5.30 p. m. Several hundred tons of frieight discharged on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning was also loaded and despatched without the least delay; the entire cargo for Quebec, Montreal and the West passed Moncton that night, arriving in the city on Thurs- day. The advantages of this-route are now fully realized by importers, and the rail- way officials appear confident of their ability
ito deliver all goods consigned via Halifax,” >in considerably less time than by any other
port. Merchants and consignees in order- ing fruit, holiday season and other Euro- pean from via Halifax and Intercolonial Railway are assured of the best possible despatch.
~~ ao — Royal Insurance Company.
The Royal Insurance Company of Liverpool, Eng., has aremarkable successful history. It commenced business in the year 1845, and has, in the comparatively short period of thirty-eight years, made gigantic strides, ex- tending its operations to the limits of civili- zation. The following figures give one an idea of the extent of its business: Total amount of premiums received over $72,000,000. Losses paid over $43,000,000. Dividends de- clared, over all expenses and losses, over $7,-
'000,000. The present assets of the Royal
amount to the enormous sum of $26,000,000, while the net surplus is over $3,500,000, It is unnecessary to pass any comment on these figures, beyond the fact that they show a strength sud solidity unsurpassed by any other Company, and have made its pledges of indemnity unquestionable in any part of the globe.
The successful career of the Royal is due to carefal management and prompt and liberal settlements of claims. The Canadian branch under the able management of Messrs. Gault and Tatley, is noted for ite prompt and honor- able payments of claims, and its success is largely due to the class of general and _sub- agents employed, who are all men of res- pectibility and of good standing, great care being exercised by the management in their selection.— From Insurance Society for Nov- ember.

Austria, the Argentine Republic, Belgium, Brazil, Columbia, China, Costa Rica, Den-
mark, the Dominican Republic, Spain, the
United States, France, Great Britain (in- cluding Canada and India), Greece, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Nertherlands, Portugal Roumania, Russia, Salvador, Sweden and Norway, Turkey and Uruguay. Persia will accede subsequently.
Canada aud India were separately repre- sented, and Sir Charles Tuppor assisted in the conference and signed the protosol in behalf of the former country. Sir Charles is making Canadian influence felt in many ways which will redonnd to the honor as well as to ihe benefit of our beloved land. —St. John Sun.
