Mr. Caron has left behind him in Untario, and especially the western part of it, a most pleasing impression, showing that the narrow lines that were once drawn have been obliterated, and that instead a more catholic and national spirit prevails.

(To onto Globe.)

At the Canadian Pacific Railway depot at the mouth of the Michipicoten River, ‘north shore of Lake Superior, there have llately been serious riots, arising out of the lillicit whiskey trade. All the country in which the Canadian Pacific is being con- structed is placed under the Public Works | Act. Wherever that Act is declared in | force, tha selling of drink becomes a punish- | able offence. Some whiskey sellers at | Michipicoten have been openly defying the law. Onan attempt being made to suppress the traflic, the liquor sellers called in the assistance of a gang of roughs and whiskey peddlers from Peninsular Harbor, and by their assistance the Stipendiary Magistrate was set at defiance, but not until a serious riot had occurred, in which revolvers were freely used, and two of the constables were shot.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES. :

On the night of the 9th October several revolver shots were fired after dark in the neighborhood of the quarters occupied by ‘the Ontario magistrate, Captain Burden, and those of Mr, Alexander Macdonald, ‘the agent of the Canadian Pacitic R olway. |No great importance was attached to the i fact, but on the following day a notice was found posted in the neighborh od of the iflice threatening death to Mr. | Macdonald, the agent, and to other parties supposed to be connected with him in the suppression of the whiskey traftic. The jnotice waa signed ‘* By order of the Vigi- jlance Committee.” On the evening of that | day, about hailf-past nine o'clock, the night being very dark and stormy, a simultaneous attack was made by about thirty or thirty- five men upon the quarters of the magis- trate and the headquarters of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.

At about the same 'time, three newly appointed censtables who | were on the alert, and who were OBNOXIOUS TO THE WHISKEY GANG, were shot at and two of them wounded,one | in the hand seriously, and the other in the
