Scortanpd has 5,000,000 acres of waste land which is capable of being converted into valuable timber forests. Ireland has about the same quantity now lying waste and which wiil grow excellent timber. It is now proposed to utilize these immense tracts by planting them with trees. If this be done, in from thirty to 50 years Great Britain would have an annual supply of timber far greater than her present imports.

Tne Government steamer Newfield arrived at Halifax on the the Sth inst, She brought two hundred survivors from the wreck of the steamship Amsterdam, which disaster occurred at Sable Island on July 30th. The Amsterdam was on a voyage from Amsterdam to New York. She was owned by the Nether- land American S. 8S. Co, was 3,000 tons and was commanded by Capt. T. M. Lucas. While landing the passengers from the stranded vessel one of the boats upset and three persons were drowned. The Amsterdam was going full speed so that she lies well up on the bar.

Three Murders.

After several months consideration, the Quebec Provincial authorities have arrested the man Osborne, who shot and killed his son-in-law at Gatineau Point, opposite Ottawa. This arrest is the outcome of editorial denunciations of official negligence. Another murderer will be arrested in the same county for a crime committed a few months ago. * * * A terrible murder was committed at Norton Mills, on the Vermont frontier, on Friday night las’. Two Americans got off the train at Lake Vermont and walked along the track to Norton Milis, Que. Later in the evening one of {them obtained shelter ata farm house. He was badly bruised about the face and had two black eyes. He was in- terrogated as to his companion’s where- abouts and replied that he was afraid he had lost him, as he left him lying along the track. A search was made and the second man was found on the track but cut in two, His head, however, was bruised and battered. These blows were sufficient to cause death in themselves. Further in- | spection discovered a stick all covered with blood 2nd human hair. When the search- ers returned to the farm the suspected murderer had disappeared. The telegraph was called into requisition and a man, cor- responding to the murderer's description, was arrested at Island Pond.

ELEVEN REASONS

to play fast and loose with the County which should be puuished.

4. Because the Liberal-Conservative Government, led by Sir John A. Mac- donald, have acted in a more friendly spirit towards the Island than their opponents have acted. ®, Because the Liberal-Conservative Government gave us the Cape Traverse Railway in spite of the protests of Mr. McKenzie that the Dominion had “done very well for the Island” and had ‘carried out the Terms of Union to the utmost possible extent.”

6. Because, notwithstanding the false statement of Mr. Blake that the Domin- ion is losing millions of dollars by the Island, the Government continue to make liberal grants for the maintenance of our Railway, ete.

7. Because the general policy and ad- of are admirable, aud have been followed by results which, when compared with the ‘* fly-on-the- wheel” policy and adminis- tration of the Grits, are truly splendid.

ministration the Government

8. Because the honor of the country has been saved, and our Great Lone Land opened up for British settlers, without loss to the tax-payers, by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway—a gigantic task, successfully underiaken by the Government, though

in it.

9. Because we are more likely to ob- tain Reciprocity by supporting the pre- sent policy of the Government than by throwing our markets open to the Americans free gratis for nothing, and going down on our knees to beseech them to give us fair trade in return.

10. Because the country is prosperous under the Liberal-Conservatives, and does not need ‘‘Independent—Grits” to assist in its Government.

11. And because, while trade has been expanding, and while the wages of the people have been increasing, the prices of most of the commodities of life have been lowering, and “goods” are now ‘‘cheaper than ever.”
