Surely such persons must know that encour- sistance in which must ultimately bring disgrace. We hope the practice will be | abandoned at once. Cievety Done.—Several days ago a4 a team was being driven down Qneen Street at a brisk pace the shafts became detached from the vehicle and the horse taking fright bound- edforward at a furious rate. The driver, with good presence of mind, jumped from the wagon and succeeded in bringing the steed to a standstill, while the runaway vehicle, im- pelled by the force given, sped quite a dis- tance along. No damage was done, aad mat- ters were again soon righted. cineingsilyyiiainan GertinG AneaD or Nature.—A Washing- ton despatch says that the House Committee on railways and canals has ordered a tavorab- le report on Representative Payne’s bill, pro- viding for the construction by the United States ofa ship canal around Niagara Falls. $1,000,000 is appropriated to begin the con- struction.

SPROIAL Dxespatcues TO Tuk EXAMINER. Summary of Proceedings. CS Orrawa, April 11. Hon Mr. Chapleau introduced a bill to amend the Franchise Act so as to simplify the working of the nfeasure, and reduce the cost of printing and other expenses. The Government bills, to amend the territories Real Property Act and to pre- vent the disclosure of official documents and information, were read a second time. ‘The House then went into Committee of Ways and Means, taking up the tariff re- solutions Three items were passed during the after- noon. These related to live animals, ari- ficial flowers and feathers, After recess, several private bills were passed, The House again went into Committee of Ways and Means, and these items were adopted : Axle greese, petroleum barrels, Surgical belts, blacking and harness dress- ing, advertising pamphlets and printed matter of like nature, maps, charts and globes, supplements for newspapers, bank notes and other commercial forms, book- binders tools and implements, fancy work boxes, brass in strips, brases or suspenders, The duty of 174 per ceut. on uncleaned or unhulled rice will be the same as the old tariff. It provoked a long discussion, At 3a.m. the rice item was passed and che duty of 75 cents per barrel on flour is till under discussion. , vod (Westmoreland) presented a peti- tion from Sackville to-day against the pas- sage of any bill in regard to the observance of the Sabbath; also one from Moncton to the same effect. The longer the session lasts the more ap- parent does it become that the Opposition have entered upon a deliberate policy of defence of American as contradistinguished from Canadian interests, not only in tariff but in other matters. Last night, when Mr. Colby moved t'e second reading of the bill to amend the Steamboat Inspection Act, one object of which is to provide that an applicant for a ‘icense must have been a resident in Canada for three years, the Opposition objected to it because it would be repugnant to Amerjcans. Thus if Liberals had their way, the Canadian working man would re- ceive no protection atall. He could re- main, liable to the present severe competi- tion of Americans, who can come over here without let or hindrance, while a Canadian cannot be employed in the Unit- ed States unless he is naturalized. This should be remembered by the working men who will have no reason to be gratefyl. Messrs. Charlton, Davies, Weldon, of St. John, Ellisand Mitchell, all joined io the protest against the contemplated pro- tection of our Engineers It is satisfactory to state that Mr. Colby emphatically re- fused Mr. Charlton’s suggestion that the Government should withdraw the bill and thus the line of policy is again clearly marked between the two parties, News From Halifax. Hairax, April 11. The str. Crown Prince, which sailed from Trapane for Gloucester, put in to-day for coal. She experienced very strong weather. The corner stone of St. Mary’s Y. M. T. A. & B. Society’s new building will be laid on the 25th inst. Great preparations are being made for the event. Several tem- perance organizations will take part with bands of music, The stone will be laid by the Archbishop. Shortly after the arrival of the steamer Polynesian at Halifax on her last trip from Liverpool, one of the boys who had been sent out by Miss Bert disappeared. A thorough search was instituted, but the boy could not be found. After the depar- ture of the remaining children for Brantford, Ontario, the immigra- tion agent learned that the boy had been kidnapped by a hotel,keeper and secreted. Upon guing to the hotel the lad was found and taken charge of. He was subsequently sent to Brantford. The authorities. have decided to institute pro- ceeding against the hotel-keeper. Abolishing the Council. Hauirax, April 11.
