Tart in this case a mistake was made by the Land Office in the sale to both parties ef a few acres of land is admitted ; though to anyone who knows anything at all about the careless way in which the ‘* meets and bounds” of farms throughout the Province have been set down by former agents and | surveyors—those on whose data the Land Office makes its sales of sll holdings—the mistake will appear quite pardonable. Bat it is admitted that however this may be, the sales to both parties were made before the Hon. Donald Ferguson —against whom the charges which give this case its importance to the public have been brought —took office. It is alse undeniable that the deed Me- Donald received was given by Mr. Fergu- son, under a threat of legal proceedings, | on the advice of the Attorney General, after Mr. Ferguson had endeavored in vain to effect an amicable settlement of the difficulty, which had by this time arisen. On these admitted and undeniable facts the defence of the Commissioner of Crown Lands rests. Even though, as the Patriot wrongly contends, the sale to McDonald was not effected until the deed was signed, sealed, and delivered, still the Hen. Mr. Ferguson should be heid blameless ; for the deed was given under compulsion, and in accordance with legal advice which the Commissioner of Crown Lands is bound to follow. But inaddition to the main charge, several minor charges have been brought against the Commissioner of Crown Lands. The editor of the Patriot led the public to believe that Mr. Strong's letter to Me- Denald had been stolen out of the Post Office. To make this apparent to everyone, we quote from the Paetrivt the following : ** He (Mr. Ferguson) intended the public to believe that McDonald had received that letter, and if we had not informed them that it had never reached MeDonald s hand's but was stolen out of the Pcst Uffice.no one in the community would have expected that such was the fact.” And, again, the Patriot declared that Mr. Ferguson ‘‘had the best reason to believe | that the letter was stolen.” Accompanying these declarations were denunciations of the Commissioner of Crown Lands for not prosecuting the man who had used these stolen letters ina Court of Justice. That there may be no doubt about this, we again quote from the Patriot o— **That letter was stelen and opened by some one who hal oo right to it, and why is it that Mr. D nald Ferguson dees not prose- | cute the man in whose poxs-ssion the stolen letier | was feund, and who had the audacity to pro- duce it aa evidence in a Court of Justice?” With reference to this, Mr. Malcolm Mce- Laod has produced the evidence which led him to believe that the letter had never been placed in the care of the Pust Office at all. In a strait, the editor of the Patriot now turns round and tries to make the pnblic believe that it was Mr. Ferguson who stated that the letter was stolen, and that it was Mr. Ferguson who dragged in the name of the man in whose possession the letter was found, and who had “the audacity,’ etc. But no such statement as that the letter was stolen from the Post Office,” can be found in any letter Mr. Ferguson has written on the subject. We do not question the motives which induce the editer of the Patriot thus to bear false witness against Mr. Ferguson; but it is sufliciently clear that both the major and the minor charges which he has preferred against Mr. Ferguson with re- spect to this case are without foundation. _——om + Christmas Jottings. (Crowded out of Saturday's issue. ) The observing of this festival meant something in the early days of the Christian Church. The christians knew something of their Master’s spirit when they braved the persecutions of hostile men. Here is an account of such a Christiaas: In the reign of Diocletian (284, 305, A.D.), while that ruler was keeping court at Nicumedia, he learned that a multitude of christians were assemfiled in the city to celebrate Christmas. Having ordered the church- doors tu be closed, he set fire to the build- ing, and all the worshippers perished in the flames. The wise scientists of the day brovght their richest gifts and laid them at the feetof the babe. These kings could despise the conventienalities of Herod’s Court, and deign to pay homage to one who *‘ had not where to lay His head.” The poor are always among us, but it is very seldom that they get the best of the gifts given at Christmas. Our best and richest too often go to those who have more than enough. —There is a beautiful legend, as old as the first century, describing in a striking way, the moment of the Nativity. It tells us that the pele of the heavens stood motionless, the birds were rivetted in the air, all nature was awe-struck at the awful moment. ‘‘I saw the sheep scattered and the sheep stood, and the shepherd lifted up his hand to strike, and his hand remained up; and I looked at the stream of the river, and the mouths of the kids were down, and were not drinking. Workmen sat around the bow! of food, dip- ping their fingers into the bowl but could not lift their hands ; and everything which was being propelled forward was intercept- ed in its course.” Another beautiful legend, told to this day at Bethlehem, says that when Adam and Eve were driven from their beautiful arden, they wandered until they reached thlvhem ; there they saw the valle; blooming with flowers —yellow, purple and white; there they made their home. Eight hundred years after, Lot came to live there; and wastoid by his angel that he could never be happy until he had planted a sap ling tree in the midst of the valley, and made it grow with water brought from the Jordan. Lot brought the pitcher to the tree, and he water bubbled up and over = brim to h» rets. The tree lived on or seven hundred years, until Solomun’s men cut it down for the temple. When the ; Was carried to Jerusalem, no amoun: Oo) Cutting would make it fit ita appointed place in the structuro—the beam was always a long or too short. Atlast the workmen ung it aside, saying it was “‘an accursed cere enemas ODL LLL LLL A | hagus le temple, until one sad day in the history of } second Adam was raised upon it. Threo hundred years pass away, the tree is once more found, this time by S. Helena, whe it a Christian shrine. The Bethlehewmites of to-day, te us that the stumps and the roots of the tree le still in the valley of Bethlehem. 4s Celestial Choristers chanted thets undying Christmas Carol on the firs! Christmas, now, as the anniversary eomes round, Christians love te sing and to hear the Christmas Carols. We hear the practice as early as the second century, as proved by the discovery of a sarcup- belonging to that period, having sculptured upon it a Christian family Join- ing in singing Nativity songs. The Par- liament of the Commonwealth, tried to abolish not only Carols, but the festival of Christmas altogether. and helly and ivy were made the world, the De . makes oF 80 ‘ Ul seditions badge s. er Tue news item, to which our correspon- dent ** Armagh” refers, was published in all the leading papers of Canada. But, perhaps, it was manufactured, Our cor- respondent's statement that a Convention of Catholic Clergymen endorsed the ‘* No rent” policy must bé erroneous. It is quite impossible that true followers of Him who commanded to render unto a!l men that which is their due, ‘* custom te whow custom, tribute to whom tribute” ete. , could endorse such a policy. Uf (as we believe) the rent system be opposed to the interests of the people of Ireland, it is the duty of the people of Ireland to agitate as strongly possible, but in a constitutional way for its amelioration or removal. But “no rent” or (to use one plain word) robbery must be avoided. Slavery and many other public evils have been removed by the use of legitimate means. Why not landlordism ! Our sympathies are strongly with the peo- ple in Ireland who are oppressed by rascally landlords; bat we dislike the methods of the dynamite-no-reni-leayue. ee Missionary and Pioneer Life. The trials attending Missionary lite in British Columbia may be imagined by reading the following letter recently re- ceived by Theo. L. Chappelle, Esq , from his brother now stacioned at Nicola Valley, B. C. * * * * * [ am planning to write a series of letters to the ‘‘ Wesleyan’ on *‘ Gur Pacific Province,’ I may send you something as weil for a Char lettetown paper by and by. I continue very well. I have ridd n over the mountains wit! thermometer 7° below zero in Nicola, and co: - siderable of wind, and quite enjoyed it. s that I do not expect to -ulfer from cold. Tie climate is so dry that the cold does not piere: as on the seaboard. One of the things that is new to one at first, is the hermit life that many live out on the mountains. Let me give you an instance at length Wednesday on my way to Kamloops, | left Richey Me- Denald, of New Glasgow, N. 8., unwell, cbills and cramps. On my return I got to hia cabin at dusk, put horse in the stable, wen: to the cabin nnd found him lying by the fire quite delirious. Night was falling fast 1 jooked round every» here that I could think of for a match, none could be found, locked as auxiously for a candle, could ne find oue anywhere, and the prospect was, (the ver) thought of which terrifies me stil]), to spene the night in darkness, wi h onein the dehriun: of fever, una’ le to do the least thing for him, ard let the fever rage until inflammation had done its work. He had told meas | went over that I was the second person he had seen in a week, and I ould not expect any passer- by, particularly at that hour, The nearest neighbors were 7 miles in one direction, and 8 miles in another. Shall I ride im the pitch darkness amd fal'ing snow to the nearest ? While away the fever may get past control, This was my situation when 1 heard the dogs barking. 1 bounced out of the door, and running hard as I[ could, halloed Isudly, thinking that, per haps, some Swashes (Indians) were passivg, and that I could send word along by them 3ut what was my delight when I fou d that it was a Mexican woman and a white map coming, eXpesting to stay overnight. She had been there before and kuew all about the cabin, and had doue a great deal of nursing among miners, and knew just how to yo to work. We made him a bed near the stove, gave him castor oil, applied hot clothes where pain was, rubbed with alcohol and eayenne pep- per and by midnight he went off into a sicep. On Monday I rode up to see him again, a d found him convaleseing, but still needing great care. If ever the Lord sent anybody to mortal man, he sent that Mexican woman that night to save Richey’s life and to save me from a most uncomfortable situation. The dog of the neighbor eight miles distant hau wandered down to Rechey’s. A note was tied round his neck saying that Richey was very sick and had driven hom.ward. Op Monday I found that Mr Newman had been there in answer to the message carried by the faithful courier. This Mr. Newman, three winters ago, fell off bis horse and broke hi- leg. He ctawled into his cabia, and Jay there fur three days creeping out tv the door with unset leg that he might get some ice or snow to eat to keep him alive. On the third day some Swashes happened to be passing near, went in, and found him. They went to th. nearest neighbors, six miles, and had him carried in that state twenty miles that he might be taken care of. I[ have filled my letter with this one phase of termit life. It is a dreadiul conntry to get sick in—the doe tor 100, 200, 390 miles distant. And now I must close. By the time you get this it will be Chriai mas time. ¢ ’ " ‘ My trunks are still at Yale, and fear that I will not get them this wiuter. % * Ren. — € o- A REPORT comes fiom ihe back country of Ontario that a most borcible murder was com mitted last Thursday afternoon, at Gilmour's Shanties, 0. Beaver Creek, Hasting’s County. It seems that a man by the name of O’Brien had seme words with bis assistant at dinner. When the men returned in the evening both were miss ng, the fire was out and no supper was ready. Search was made but no clue was found till next morning whea the body of the mate (whose name was unknown) was foun | uader a log heap at the back of the shanty. He had been killed with a blow on the head and the bedy cut into quarters. Tre banks at Montreal and Toronto on Thursday last says a despatch received a eircular from the Government that fairly astounded them. Tue cireular asked for a detailed statement of all bonds and munici pal debentures held by the bank, the nani s of the endorsers thereof, and the value «f the paper. The object is to get a complete statement of the description and amount of paper carried by the ins itutions. The circular also asked for a list of the names o° all employees of the bank, whether they haid any of the paper personally or in trust, and whether they weve endorsers for any tree.” @ it lay for el Posi apd moWe, Bras the probintio of the Piper.

Dec. 24, 1881. To the Editor of the Examiner. Srr,—Last night I attended a ‘‘ Tea”’ at Mount Stewart held under tho auspices of the Wesleyan Sabbath-School cof that locality The tables fairly groaned under the weight of sumptuous viands 80 pro- fusely spread upon them. The Tea was a suecess—nearly two hundred people “sat dewn to tea,’ and a sufticiency of good things to satisfy twice that number had been p:epared. After the cravings of the ‘‘ inner man ” were fully satisfied and ample justice dis- pensed to the delicate pastry, the ** musical concert,’ in connection with the tea,began. Ihe little boys reciied well, and the sing- ing, especially that of Miss White, the organist, Was very good. ‘* A matrimonial farce” and ‘‘a primo-burlesque” on the education of young ladies were well sus- tained. The doating wother of to-day and the lessindulgent grandmother ofsixty years ago were brought in laughable contrast. the neglected bill-receiving wife and the erratic club-loving busband were joined in a mutual bond of happiness, which it is the wish of the writer may iong continue. Yours, etc., +e TRAVELLER. 8 ee. —-» 8. o A Hen That Sang. A novel case was heard before Squire Wilson, of East Nottingham township, Chester County, Pa., recently. Last spring a farmer of East Nottingham had thirty chickens stolen. Summer wore away, but no traces of the lost fowls. A few days ago the chicken owner visited a farmer iv the same township, and while looking at the fowls on the premises saw a hen which he thought resembled one of the number stolen from him. He enquired hew the farmer obtained it, when a_ conver- sation followed, and concluded by the poultry owner saying, ‘If thai vhicken comes to me when I call her by name the is mine.’ This was agreed to. ‘*Annie, Annie,” called the owner,and sure enough the hen came to him. ‘Jump upon my hand.” Up jumped Annie. ‘* Now sing for a grain of corn, Annie,” called the owner. ‘The pretty little hen immediaiely began to sing in her fowlish style a solo which fully convinced the two men to whom she rightfully belonged. The thief and pet chicken were brought befere the Squire, who heard the story and Annie's solo, and sentenced the thief.— Reading News. . > oe Lest with att Hanns. — The schooner ‘* Young Brothers,” of Codroy, Newfoundland, from St. John’s for Codrey, went ashore at Miquelon, oa the 14th iwstant, and became a total wreck.
