and second, that all measures about Separe te Schools shall be subject to an appeal to the Governor-General in Couneil.”’

As to the first of these provisions, it eseas very harmless) There is ndt mach danger ot }an Upper Canada we beg pardon—Vatario

Legislature passing laws for the further ex- tension of sectarianism in the working of our Common School system. The meaning o} the second provision is, unfortunately, not clear. The Slat resolution of the Quebec scheme provides that *t any Bill passed by a Local Legislature shail be subject to disallow- ance by the Governor-General within one year after the passing thereof ;"’ and if no- | thing more 18 done in the Confederation Bill | than to confirm this power of disallowance. und to state the precise mode of bringing objections to any Separate School Bill tuily under the notice of the Federal Executive, with a view tw its disalluwauee - viere can be no possible objection tu that. So long as the power of interference of the Federal au- thorities is negative, little harm can reauic What was to-be feared was the outrageous proposal to cluthe the Federal Parliament with the right to legislate in school matters in direct defiance of the Local Legislature.

‘These, we understand, to be the whole of the departures made from the original Quebec scheme. Ssme of them are quite unreasonable and ex‘eedingly unjust; and | we can hardly understand how the repre- | sentatives of Upper Canada, now in London, assented to them, There may possibly be yet au opportunity of amending some of them. When we have the Bill ac full length, we will be in a better position to survey the whole question. But. meantime, we hare no hesilation in stating our opinion, that if the whole tale has been told in our despatch—ii there ure no other ehanges to be heard of — the Bill. with all its defects. will be an im- mense boon to the people of Upper Canada. and we wilt heartiiy rejoice when it receives the Royal sanctiun.

; oo SUFFERING, FROM SNUWSTORM IN IOWA.

The Des Moines correspondent of the Chi- eago Journal writes, Feb. 7th :—

The recent enow storm in this State was sovorely folty ead prodwecd «a large amount of suffering. Reports are already coming in, which show great damaye dune to live stock, and the loss of human life. The Fort Dodge North-West gives the following incident re- lative tu the perils of a’staye driver : ++ Charles Uale lett Twin Lakes, twenty-six miles west

THEY MAKE STARTLING DISCLOSURES — JUDGE LYNCH PRESIDING.

From the Carthage (Jasper county, Mo.) Banner.

For months past that portivn of the eountry \around us has been greatly unnoyed by the depredations of the beid borse thieves, and, indeed, so extensively had become their operations that no man who had «good borse thought him safe. Not only horses were stokn, but men robbed, and cecasionally @ murder was committed by some prowling scoundrel, But we think the occurrence of the slight incident which we are relating will serve us a geotle damper ou their movemente hereafter, and teach: them a new. lesson io the adage, that all is not gold that glitters

It seeme that last summer two wen came from tndiana to Baxter Springs to settle:

One of them joined & tund of threves, rob- bers and murderers, and imagined he was get- | ting rich from the big hauls frequently made. | Le triéd very hard ty get bis lodiana friend to go in with him, and disclosed many secrate of the fraternity to thatend. tle weted as it inclined to yield, aod suue others of the band tuld him many things. In his heart having no notion of acceding to the Tequest, as soon as he thonght he knew enough, made wu clean sweep of it (o the authorities, and had thei all arrested. Qn Saturday dost, to the forenoon, there was but one arrested. An SFE | was made to try to barb him by the civil law,

but the effort wus futile, as te eusily proved himself clear.

Tren the Vigilance Committee took the matter in hand. Saturday night there Were three of the gang bad a tatr trial, in vor judgment, und were sentenced to be bung— their sontence was executed to the letter. Monday morning two more W:re sentenced in a i:ke manner, When ove starting to Cun, was

shot and killed, the other was hung. [bree of them were brothers, nawed Miger One of the men hung ‘turned State's

evidenve,’’ und gave the names of the persons commitung the robbery of the sture in the eastern part of this county last summer, us well us the names of the parties who have committed the majority of the derredations in this region of country.

A list of persons, extending from Southern Kansas through Nebraska, and the north pars of thie State intu Lowa was taken, and many arreste have been made. Tre Indiana man who was found va the band was sent to Fors Scott, aad is now in jail there. A no- turious character, called Bill Smith, is being

of Fort Dodge, at four v’clock in the after- noon on Thursday, just as the grett énow | storm. began. Since that ame nothing bas been beard from him. He expected to be able to reach the Yates settlement, which was ten miles distant without a house, that evening. Parties who have been out search- ing for him found the sleigh tracks within a mile of Mr. Yates’ house. [ere he had evi- dently becowe bewildered, and, after driving around the mounds several trmes, had started off over the prairie in & northeast direttion, sisce which timy no traces has been found of him or the team. Thursday night, it will be remembered. was a terrible night to bs out on the prairie. “AT! through the night, and during the whole of Friday. the storm Was raging with terrific furce. No man or team could have followed the read for an hour. There x8 but hietie hope that the drivers will be found alive, as nearly a week bas now, passed since he was lust seen. Charles Lale san old driver, and was well acquainted with the country, but that would avail nothing in such u etorm.”’

On the same day, near Algona Mr. Daw- son and a step sun started with a load of hay for their howe. ten miles distant. When within three miles of home, the storm in- creased so they lost ther way; and the cattle, becoming weary, refused to face the | sturm any longer, and Mr. Dawson, not knowing which way to steer, anhitched the teume und concluded to camp tor the night. The cattle soon Jeft, and one yoko came bome on Saturday, and the other yoke has not yet been found Friday morning the storm was atites height. Mr. Dawson sayshe coald not see the timber, nor any other object. The hoy complained of coid, and Mr. Dawson, who had just drawn off his own boots to rub his feet, went to rubbing-the boy, and continued the operation until the drifting snow covered up his bovts and one of his sock=, and in searching for them hie hands were soon frozen. The storm continued with unabated violence, and the boy, who was slowly frees- ung, soon beeame quite helpless, and his step- fnther tod him they would die together. Friday night the boy died, and Mr Dawson remarned with him till 10 o'clock Satarday worning, when be determined to wake one wore effort to save himeelf,

After covering the dead body with snow, he started for the timber, which, by this time, he could see, the storm having somewhat abated, Ue was not far from his road, and was sv fortunate as to strike 1 belore going

be AN ENGLi3SH LOKD OF TUE SOIL.

An English paper gives an interesting ac. count of the vast estates of the Duke of Rutland in Leicestershire. It says :—

The Duke of Rutland’s estate extends to one-sixteenth of the whole county, comprising 39 000 acres, of whigh about one-half is strong loam and clay (the pasture of sur- passing natural fertility), of which the Vale of Belvoir, on the lias, forms the chief part, about 5 000 acres veyond Loivceter boing composed of strong marl and gravel. The remaining half being about equally between white and red **creach’’ (soil) upon the volite and maristone formations. “Lhe farms vary from fifty acres to seven hundred and fifty ucres; the more general size is from two hundred to four hundred acres, the portions in grass and arable lands being about equal.

Here we have an estate producing a clear rental of at least £80,000—more probably than £160,000 (halfa million more dollars in speciec)—per annum, comprising one-six- teenth ot the richest county in England in the hands of a single mau. And, be it ob- served, tbat it is only by the laws specially provided for the ertificial sggregatuions of land by means of srtails and svttiements that such an unnateta! conditivn of ownership could exist, for there ure numerous younger and collateral branches of the Rutland (Man- ners) family among whom this gigantic mass of property would naturally be divided = It may have happened, however, thut the poli- tical influence and power of the head of the family has been of great use to the other members in obtaining them provisions out of the pablic parse. Of course, all the ducal tenantry hold their farmes from year to year They have no formal agreement, but a sort of ukase or memordfidim is printed on the hacks of rental receipts given when payments (of rent) are made. Tis memorandum commences as follows:—** Take notice, that the following are the conditions upon which you rent or bold theeland and premises in
