Canadian Affairs.
Delightful rain showers fell again on Satur- day throughout the North-West and the crops are in a splendid condition. Barley on the Canadian Pacific Railway farm is over eight- een inches high and promises abundantly. Vegetation looks fine.
it is understood that the actual trouble be- tween Col. Oswald and the Department of Militia was occasioned by the refusal of mem- bers of the Montreal Garrison Artillery to
simply follow the riilitary regulations. The Montrealers desired to secure certificates
without attending a school of instruction at Quebec. The department is seemingly not disposed to yield. The St. John, N. B., brigade of Garrison Artillery on one occasion persisted in trying to obtain certificates in the same manner as the Montreal corps, but firm- ness on the part of the department compelled them to yield.
A Quebec despatch reports :
‘*Another miraculous cure has been affected at the shrine of St. Anne. This time it is a young lady uamed Emily Miller, of St Colum- bia, an adjoining municipality in Quebec. A year ago her right arm became totally par- alyzed, and she had not been able to use it up to within Saturday last, when she went ona pilgrimage to St. Anne, where she left the altar of the holy shrine perfect in all her limbs. Hundreds of persons witnessed the miracle.”

Important ‘Testimony:
Tux preliminary examination of William Millman and Thomas Bryenton, for the murder of the young girl Mary Tuplin, was continued on';Wednesday. John Cameron, Dr. McNeill and Richard Ready are the presiding magistrates. The court opened at twelve o'clock. A large number of people were present. Five witnesses— John N. Evans, Patrick A. Power, James Simmons, Alice Connolly and Wilda Somers—were examined. Following is the evidence taken :
Joun N. Evans, (sworn)—lI live at Irish- town. Iam twenty years old. I know both Millman and Bryenton. 1 saw Millman atmy tather’s house on the 26th June. He stayed till we went to preaching. He visits our place. He was talking common discourses. He did not mention the girl's name to me. 1
went with Millman after preaching to his father’s house. This was about five o'clock, and we stayed till about seven. We then
walked up the road to Thomas Bryenton’s We did not goin. In the church Millman and Bryenton got talking about Mary Tuplin. Millman asked Bryenton when he had seen her last. He said he had not seen her for some time. Bryenton said, come up this evening and we'll go there. I asked hiia if he was going and he said he did not know. That was all that was said.{We stayed at}Bryenton’s about fifteen minutes, and I went around with him about fifty yards past Mr. Under- hill’s barn. I sat on the side of the road, I understood Millman went down to meet Mary Tuplin. He told me Thomas Bryenton was to go to Tuplin’s to tell Mary to meet him at the gate. He was away about ten minutes. When he came back I asked him if he had seen the girl. He said yes. Ithen asked what she had said about the scrape and if she blamed it on him. He replied that she said no; she never said the like. We both came home and left him at his father’s gate at about a quarter after ten by his watch. Bryenton and his wife passed us as we were sitting on the road, They left their house before we left there.
They were coming from Tuplin’s. Michael Morrison was walking with them. Millman spoke to Tom and he came back. Miliman asked him if he had seen the girl. He said
yes, his wife had told her tocome out. There was no hour or place mentioned. Millman further told me that Mary Tuplin said that
she would not live toswear the child on any I said did you promise to go and see her again. He replied, I have heard all 1 wanted to hear from her and I am satisfied now. = I do not recollect of seeing Millman till the fol- lowing Wednesday. He came up to our place after dinner. He told me Tuplin was down through Long River and Eel Creek, and that the girl was lost last night. Millman and I have been good friends all our lives. I saw him with a revolver about a year ago. It was hisown. Itis not much force now. I saw it with him about the first of last spring. It isa 7-shooter. Last spring I went to clean it and broke the spring, and it was that way when I saw it last. I did not see it since last spring. 1 saw Millman the following Thursday. He used to callalmost every day. He came to our place again on Friday after dinner. We both went over to Wm. Evans, and I left him there with Ellie Evans. I think he was up again on Saturday with Ellie Evans ina wagon. I wasever to Graham's toad Tuesday evening, the 28th. I left him about 6 o'clock. I went to James Smith's and got home about 4 o'clock in the morning. Millman was the first party I heard talking about the girl being missing. Ithink I was alone. Martin Brown might have been there. Parrick A. Powrek, (eworn)—I am sixteen years old, and am the son of Thomas Power, and live at Long River, about a quarter of a mile from John Millman’s, I know William Millman. On Wednesday he told me to tell that I was with him on Tuesday night at Painter’s line, between Richard Painter's and John Millman’s line. I told himI would. I was not with him on Tuesday evening, or any other evening. He came again on Thursday and told me to stick to what he had told me the day before. I told him I would not. On Thursday I went with him to Michael Ready’s, He asked me at Ready’s heuse to swear that | was with him Tuesday night. He went into the house and I held the horse. It was bee fore we came to the house he asked me to swear. He was in about twenty-five minutes, and we left. I went with him as far as Wil- liam Underhill’s, and we stood there till David Profit and Nelson Evans came along, and then we drove home. He wanted me to go to William Tuplin’s. He said by me telling Tuplin what he had told me it might scare him.
JAMES SIMMONS (sworn)—lI live at Burling- ton. | know Millman when I am close to him. J live three miles from Millman. On Tuesday afternoon I was down digging bait under Hiram Thomson's Shore. This was between four and half-past five. George Bryenton was there. | saw two young men on the opposite shore. Ldonot know them. They were travelling along Thomas Millman’s shore be- low the long point. Can't say how they were dressed. {wasina hurry. The tide was coming in and I wanted some bait. They halored something tous. _I could not make out what they said. They went up the field and I saw them no more.
ALice CONNOLLY (Sworn)—I am a daughter of --—— Connolly. I live at Long River,five or six miles from John Tuplin’s, I knew Mar Tuplin. Iwas intimately acquainted wit her. 1 saw her last on the day of her brother’s funeral. It was last Tuesday week. I saw her at her father’s house in the evening. I was upstairs with heralone. I asked her if the story about her was true. She said can’t you see. I asked her who did she blame. She said William Millman. I asked her what she was going to do about it and she said he was coming there that night. [ asked if her people allowed him to come to the house. She said that William Millman told Mrs. Bryenton to teli her that he would meet her that night. She did not say where. I asked her how long since it had ,happened and she replied since New Years. She told it to me as a secret, and told me not to tell. She told me Mill-
man, and he would make it all right. She did not tell me what Millman was comin there for that night. I am first cousin o Millman’s.

girl to destruction. She told me he aurea her not to tell about their meeting, and she told me alse not to tell. She said she was going to meet him and she was quite pleased.
Tke Court then adjourned till *9 o'clock
on Thursday at Clifton Courthouse. NOTES.
It is said that some few feet from the place where the body of the unfortunate Mary Tuplin was found, was a deep spring hole surrounded by quicksands. In _ this hole, it is thought, the party or parties to the terrible deed intended depositing the body of their victim and thus destroying all evidence of their crime. Ignorance of the exact location of the hole, or some such cir- cumstance interfered with the successtul carrying out of their cecision.
The first instalment of the evidence taken at the preliminary examination of Millman and Bryenton appears to-day. The re- mainder will be published as soon as it is possible for us to obtain it.
An immense number of people are pre- sent at the examination at Clifton to-day, and great interest is taken in the procéed- ings.

A Cart Load of Bears.
One ot the most novel sights ever seen on the streets of Souris was witnessed on Wednesday last. It consisted of a horse and cart loaded with dead bears. The driver, an intelligent, obliging and affable farmer, was stopped at every few yards by persons anxious to have a look at the bears. There they lay, sure enough, with a quilt spread carefully over them. First, there was the old she bear, stark and stiff, with one side ot her jaw badly amashéd in by shot. She was the full length of the cart body, and more than filled one half of it. Alongside of her lay three cubs, each of them as large as a good sized dog. How came they there? The story is soon told. The night before a sheep had been killed on the Bear River Line Road by a bear. Mr. Richard Costello, in ambush near the carcass, | prepared to give bruin a warm welcome if found to return. He had not long to wait. Taking good aim, he fired and the huge beast fell at his feet. After making sure that the shut had proved fatal, and suspecting that there were cubs de- pending upon the old bear for a livelihood, he concluded upou watching till morning, and allowed the body to remain where it was. By this time his son and some of the neighbors had joined him. Near siorning three cubs came, but before they had time to offer even a whine over their dead mother, merciless guns were levelled at them, and they, too, tumbled over never to trouble anybody any more.
Mr. Costello deserves credit for his pluck in ridding the country of these destructive pests. In justice, if not in law, he is cer- tainly entitled to the bounty for having a gia so many bears in one short night.
Sufferings from Drought.
A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN-—FRUIT WRINKLED AND DRIED TO THE STEM.
No such drought as now prevails has exist- ed in Illinois and Wisconsin for many _ years. The roads are ankle deep with dust, tlie pas- tures are brown, and the leaves on forest an‘ shade trees are shrivelled up, and each hot breath of air from the cloudless horizon drives them away in showers. Creeks have run dry, and the water in the larger streams is at a lower stage than was ever known before. There has not been a soaking rain inthis part of the country since March. Two showers in April and one each in May and June had but a temporary effect on creps. Stunted yellow spears bending over immense beds of dust are the only evidence that the farmers sowed any corn this year. The leaves of the fruit trees are falling off, and the fruit, which promised to be plenty, is wrinkled and dried to the stem. Raspberry bushes look as though they were producing a cropof shot, so in- finitesmal and hard are the berries... The drought has become so terrible that public
rayers are being offered for rain. The
ences along the country roads and the dead walls of the villages are plasterey with huge bills calling for special services at the district
schoolhouses and churches. Fires are burning in the woods, and _pas- tures for miles around are _ scorched,
The farmers have lost many cattle in these fires, which seem to spring up in a dozen yy at once. Reports from all parts of
enry and adjoining counties tell of intense suffering from the drought. The drinking water in many towns has been poluted, and the white beds of the creeks are covered with decaying fish. The drought in the northern and central tiers of counties of Illinois is not any more serious than it is in Wisconsin. The Badger state is literally burning up, and fruit

The relations between Germany and Russia are becoming incomprehensible. While there is seeming concord between the two courts, the war of extermination against everything Ger- man is ever increasing in Russia. This action on the part of Russia results in intense bitter- | ness against that country in Berlin, where the leading journals coupsel reprisals in self-de- feuce. The semi-official Post says thatin the event of war with Germany, which many in- fluential persons in Russia are striving to bring about, a stroke of the pen would suffice to de- prive Germans of all their sinews of war, in the shape of the millards they have confided to the Czar of Russia for bonds,
Alcholism, according to a report of a com- mittee of the French senate, has become a social danger ip France, owing to the increas- ed consumption of spirits; and the state is recommended to take steps to prevent the adulteration and to do what it can to suppress the abuse of alcohol. The injury to the vine by the phylloxera and other enemies, by eve | reducing the production of wine, wrought spirit drinking into fashion, with the result pointed out by the senate committee, In one year, at least, France imported more wine than she exported; and of the imported wine much was highly alcoholized; the use of | it paving the way to spirit drinking. The habit having once seized on the people will be difficult to throw off.
