By the timely appearance of Mr. Lemuel Miller, Teacher, she was re. jeased from them, the twe vi lians running swiftly away leaving their vietim lying senseless on the street, Mr. Miller assisted her to her dwelling where she shortly after- wards recovered from ‘her fright. It isa pity that such acts of lawlessness should go anpunished. Demons in human shape who can with impunity assault an unprotected femalo, deserve to be punished in a very summary manner. _———— ea Tax Arrest Or Press Desrvrcues.—While gome journals are condemnit z the Governor General, and some Major. DeWinton, for arresting the Press despatches containing informatio’ of the accident te the Governor General and Princess, the faul: really lies with the Telegraph Companies. Neither the Go- yernor General nor Major De Winton had any wer Wnatever to delay or arrest the trans- mission of the simplest telegram of the humb- lest citizen, radeh fess to lay an embargo on| the eatire Press of Canada. The Telegraph management know this. The office managers at Oitawa deliberately committed an offence ainst the Press and people of Canada —an » we believe, punisha)le at law. The mitter ought to be tested at once in the highest Courts.—S?¢. John Sun, Heart Breaxine.—A ()u’appelle letter inthe Saskatchewan (N. W. T.)

He was then made a prisoner and tried next morning before the Justice of the Peace, mid to his great astonishinent had te pay the enormous fine of sixty dollars. Now, notwithstanding that the action of the police in the mait-r was comforiable to the regu- lations respecting liquor in the North West Territories, don’t you think it was rather harsh treatment?

To the Editor of the Examiner. _Siz,—A letter in‘ the Patriot of the 19th iuat., over the signature of Captain ‘'A Irving,’ the Contractor for the Ice Boat Service across the Straits, conveys to the public untiistakeable evidence of the dis- ‘ppoiament felt by the author at the sucvess sf the steamer Northern Light, this winter, tween Georgetown and Pictou. Captain Itving’s impertinent allusions to Mr. A. C.

The travellin public in general, as well as the member tor King’s County, regardleas of ‘A Tings" interests and feclings in the matters, have deserted his favorite winter passage by ne Capes, for the eastern route by the ‘erthera Light.
