Joun M. MacLeron, Preshytery Clerk. Onward, Victcria.

A musical and literary entertainment, under the auspices of Onward Division, Sona of Temperance, took place at Victoria Reading‘room, on Monday evening, the 28th ult. Notwithstanding the inelem- ency of the weather and the exceeding had travelling, the building, which ig capable of accommodating upwards of 200 persons, was crowded.

The entertainment was opened by an address from the Rev. T. W. Johnston, rector of St. John’s Church, Crapand, who kindly acted as President.

The programme for the evening consisted of choruses, readings, solos, dialogues, etc., all of which were exceedingly well rendered ‘as shown by the applause from the audi- ence. It is needless to say that all were highly satisfied with their evening’s amuse- ment. The handsome sum of $16.25 was realized, thus making it also a success financially.

The members of this division of the order take this opportunity of extending to the Rev. Mr. Johnston their sincere thanks for his indispensable assistance as President and also for his generous kindness in placing his building at their disposal ; also they desire to extend their heartfelt thanks to Miss Hunter, Miss Webster, Mr. H. P. Palufer, Miss Wright and Mr. Nelder for their very kind assistance on that evening.

A Gigantic Farm. OPERATIONS OF THE QU’ APPFLLE VALLEY FARMING COMPANY.—SEEDING ALREADY OOMPLETED.

A few days ago a representative of the Montreal Gazette waited upon Mr. H. J Eberts, secretary-treasurer of the Qu’Ap- pelle Farming Coming, whose property is known as the Bell farm, to learn some par- ticulars of their operations. The farm, which comprises 54,000 acres, is situated on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, being intersected by that road, 312 miles west of Winnipeg and 54 miles cast of Reglna, the shipping point being known as Indian Head. The company enjoyed a prosperous year in 1883, their wheat having escaped the frost which caused so much damage to the crops generally. The company began harrowing operations as early as March 26th, and seeding on March 3lst, or about two weeks earlier than last year, and on April 12th the wheat-sowing had been cumpleted from five to six thous- and acres being put under crop. This week fifteen hundred acres of oats and about five hundred acres of flax will be sown. The latter is a new crop, but the soil is favorable to its culture, and profitable re- turns from it are expected. Indeed, the product has already been con- tracted for. During the summer, ground will bo broken to an extent that will per- mit of the seeding of 14,000 acres of land in 1885. A large quantity of machinery is required in connection with the farm, and there will be forty-eight self-binders, seven steam ‘brashers and fifty ploughs at work this year. Plonghing with horses costs a shade under $2 per acre, one man with horses and plough breaking about two acres per day. The price of agricultural imple- inents under the operation of the present tariff has steadily declined. Up to last year Atserican manufacturers enjoyed 4 monop Jy of the market in the North- west, Canadisan manufacturers not turn- ing out the class of implements best ad p'ed to the country, butin 1885 Can- adian machines came into more general use, and this season they are likeiy to be universaliy adopted, Seeders can be per- chased 13 per cwot. cheaper than last year, and Canadian self-roapers and binders have been 80 materially improved in quality that the Qu’Appelle company are buying them in preference to the Chicago machines for- merly employed, and have just ordered twenty-six from Messrs. A. Harris, Son & Co., of Brantford. The American binders are being offered $45 below last years price in order if possible to hold the market, but leven at this reduction purchgses can be | wade more advantageously in Canada. The

| Affairs in the Dominion. |THE GOVERNMENTS ADVANCE TO THE CAN- ADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY,

| Mr. Thomas White, member of Parlia- ;ment, of Canada,who went to New York asa | delegate from the Montreal Board of Trade ie the opening exercises of the new Produce Exchange building, speaking io a Times reporter, in reference to Canadian affairs, said =

“The main topic of interest politically in Canada, at the present time, is the Canadian Pacific Railway, chiefly in consequence of the policy of the Government at the last session of parliament in making an advance to the conipany of $22,000,000, in order that the road may be completed without putting more stock upon the market. Since that time there have been reported changes in the board of directors, which lead those opposed to the Government and the enter- prise to suggest that the company being thus relieved of its carrent liabilities, they jare withdrawing irom thg enterprise alto- gether. The better opigtion, however, is against this view. It derived some force from the suggestion that Mr. Kennedy, of your city, and Mr. Hill, of St. Paul, two of the original directors had withdrawn. {t is generally understooi that they with- drew some months ago, and have both been in practical hostility to their old co-direc- tors for many monthe, Both bave large interests in the St. Paul & Manitoba Rail- way, and it is now generally believed that when the contract was given for the building of the Canadian Pacific they never contemplated build- ing that portion of the road north of Leake Superior, connect.ng northwestern Canada with the Canadian system of railroads in Ontario and Quebec. Had this portion of the road been abandoned, the result of what is calied the monopoly clause of the Qanadian Pacific Railway charter, the clause which prevents ihe granting of a charter to any road proposing to cross within fifteen miles of the Canadian bonnd- ary line for twenty years, would have been to have poured the whole traffic of the northwestern territories over the St. Paul & Manitoba road.

‘The determination of the Canadian directors to carry out in its entirety their contract,’ continued Mr. White, ‘‘caused Messrs. Kennedy and Hill to withdraw from the board, and it is generally believed that they have since been exertiny all their influence in financial circles to prevent the success of the enterprise. It was thia con- viction which secured support to the Gov- ernment policy of placing the company in & position independent of the ‘bulls’ and ‘bears’ of Lombard and Wall streets. The

president aud two of the directors of the read are now in England in connection with the enterprise, and

the work is being rapidly pushed forward with the same energy as in the past. It is confidently expected that the lune will be completed north of Lake Superior im about ayear. The anticipation of the company is that when the road is finished, instead of the traftic of Northwestern Canada going over the Si, Paul & Manitoba Road and other American lines, much of the traftie of the Western American States will seek the Canadian Pacific as furnishing the shortest line to the seaboard in the hands of one company.”

The Pope and Freemasonry.

The Pope’s recent encyclical letter direct- ed against Freemasonry is thus suceinctly summarized :—The Pope assails that secret order as an essentially unchristian organiza- tion, and asa nursery of materialism and hostility to the Church. He treats it as an enemy with which religion can make no terms, and against which the Church must war with all the weapons at its command. Freemasonry, eays Pope Leo, aims at the ruin of “the throne, the altar, and the public welfare.” ‘‘It seeks to overthrow all the religious and social order intreduced by Christianity,” he says further, ‘‘and to build up anew order based on the Jaw of naturalism.” And with Freemasonry he includes all similar secret orgerizations. Accordingly, he warns Catholics against such orders, and exhorts bishops and priests to do whatever may be in their power to uproot them aud their principles. Some of the individual members of these societies may be blameless, so far as responsibility for the general tore and acts of the orders are coricerned, but he urges all such to fy from the contaminating in- fluences about them. Indeed, the Pope charges against Freemasonry that it has bred and fostered the worst social ills =nd the most deadly religious heresy and in- fidelity from which the mcadern world suffers. His Hcliness, of course, in his Encyclical deals with the Freemasons of Italy. His deseription of the body does not apply to the Freemasons of Dritain, Canada or the United States.
