Nearly half a century ago, a woman by the name of Loomis, living in Pawlet, Vers mont, was compelled toask relief from the town, which was refused.

Private letters from Canada give a very gloomy view of the position and prospects of the present Government, and our corre- spondents confidently assert that a change of Ministers is inevitable. The revenue is declining, trade is dull and unsatisfactory, and the course which the Government has taken on a number of ‘questions, some of them ofa most important character, has failed to secure the contidence of the people. The complaints which are made are founds ed upon what is termed ‘the political cowardice’ of the Ministry,their ‘ weak and vacillating policy,’ and an utter ‘failure on
