CHAPTER IV.

From a pretty boy Ulric had become a fine youth, with whom not only Mr. Breits enbach, but every one who saw him, was pleased. The bioom of health was cn his cheeks, and his dark eyes beamed with candor, courage and kindness. Lis foster-

father loved him tenderly, and Ulric in | return was so grateful to him that he would | rather have suffered any pain than have

given him the least uneasiness. r. Breit- enbach loved the youth like a son, and old Martin would have gone through fire and | water tor the - darling boy,’ confidential chat with his Ulric.

On his eighteenth birthday, Ulric was summoned by Mr. Preitenbach, after the latter had had a long conversation with Martin respecting the future destiny of |

as he used, in master, to call

| the youth. Mr. Breitenbach wished that |

Ulric would cheose a profession for himseif; | and had mentioned this to Martin. The faithful servant was of the same opinion; but he objected to Ulric’s remsining at Hamburg, and for this he had his own pris

to be its future possessor. But this person was still young, and aithough clever, he

In some cases the aggriev- ed claimants were taunted with wishing to get all the country, and in all cases scolded in the usual happy manner of the lofty Islander.

One thing was attempted during his stay in the way of settlement of disputes; this was in the case of Prairie settlers on the west side of Red River. These claimed the allottment of wood lots to them, for purchase at Government price, from the wooded strip on the east side of the river, and which had been promised them by the land office. For this case the minister's canny [sland mind soon found a solution, by the promulgation of an offer of 50,000 acres of wood land upon which the settler

evidence had their effects. Of the sixteen culprits only three were found guilty and sentenced, and these three were no more

guilty of violating the law than those who |

There most be some~ thing wrong somewhere ; and it is the firm conviction of many, that if some of the magistrates upon the Bench were put on the witness stand, every man sued would be conyicted. There is another teature of this case that does rot look very well, but whieh is fully commented upon. The par ties who suffered the penalty of the law are political opponents of Mr. Underhay and his associates, while the majority of the others are their friends. Perhaps this may not have been intentional, but taking the character of the magistrates into con- sideration,and remembering the spleen and animosity of these gentlemen, it is hard to believe that their decision was not inten» tional.. It Her Majesty’s J. P’s. are thus going to prostitute their positions in order to gratify their political spite, it is pretty near time that they should give place to better men, This is not the way to put down the liquor traflic ; and Mr. Underhay's brother templar’s have no reason to feel

the cackling of geese, but it will require a great amount of cackling on the part of these worthies to enforce the observance of the liquor law in the East or to restore the

| confidence of the people.

PRIEST CTOND—BEAR RIVER ROAD, |

To the Editor of the Fxaminu™,

Dear Sir :—In your issue of the 22nd, J notice a communication over the false name ‘¢ A Friend to Improvement.” ow as J knew something about the new road from Priest Pond to Bear River, 1 think it nee cessary to bring a iew facts, respecting the

| said road, to the notice of the Government

and !'oard of Works, Every man in this part of the country, must know that it was a work of necessity, as well as choice, to have the said road removed half a mile, or so, in~ land, to avoid Big Pond Bridge, as weil as some other bad bridges on said route, there

being one of our old and respected neighs |

bors lost at Big Pond some years ago, and several Others had 4 narrow escape at the same piace, so the inhabitants, / may say, toa man, signed a petition to the Legis» lature to have this road shifted, which was A Commission (John Underhay, Charles McEeschern and Dougald Campbell, Esqrs ,) were appointed, who met on the

claims (homestead prior to transferrence,) | 22nd day of June, I871, to arcertain what

damage or advantage such change would |

| be tothe inhabitants, and which would be | the best location, After carefully enquiring | and examining the different places pointed | eut by tho inhabitants, established a line, with I may say, the unanimous aprobation lof the whole district, from Priest Pond to Line Road, Lot 45, 2 distance of five miles, | on the most level, the most convenient and The | Commission awarded Compensation to the | following Alexander McDonald, John A. | McPhee, John D. MeP}.ee and Donald Me- Cormack, these parties have been paid the | respective amounts awarded them, On

this line there is forty-seven heuseholders, ‘twenty-six south, twenty-one north. | mention this to show what reliance the | public can place in this great improver, | who says that the above line was carried | through wilderness and swamp. *% all the settlements there is one bridge re- | quired on this line, cost something like two hundred dollars ; oae small bridge, another made in December last, when the road was opened by order of the Govern
