Se certs Seng ee RE tet ey me er a ny The “Queen’s men” in Canada are growing nervous over the chatter about annexation. The American newspapers are entertaining themselves and the public in a fashion that is sure to breed a plague upon royalty in the provinces north. of the St. Lawrence. Some of them have gone so far with their impudence as to lay off the whole of the north territory into sections suitable in their ‘opinion for a state government under the protection of the stars and stripes. At this sort of impertinence the royal satalites make a pretence of laughing, and say itis soon enough to attend to such when the people of ‘matters Canada are wanting admission. At the same time their actions show ‘plainly that their Canadian loyalty confidence is waning a dozen different hands |the appropriation much asa single <p RE DEADLY A most sensible combination has been or ganizedin the country desThey have detertricts of Ohio. mined that men who don’t provide honestly for their families are sub-versive of the peace and well-being of their neighborhood, whereupon the said organization have set to work to purify their community of such encumbrances by notifying them to take up their bed and walk out of the county. . _>~<§—<tit>—>—~<— >< rt THE RECORDS. | STONE * THROWING. The death of a little boy in Logan from the effects of a stone blow is a most awful commentary upon a habit that boys are too prone to acquire. The boy who threw the stone had no intention very likely of hitting the little fellow, but. the result was precisely the same as if he had. The boy is dead and the one who did the deed will be haunted through life by a fearful remembrance. Rock-throwing is amost dangerous pastime. The boy who indulges in it is running the greatest risk of committing a deed which a life-long repentance can never atone for. Little may the boy realize at the moment what the import of rock-throwing is, but when he arrives at mature years well wil! it be for him if he have no cause for regrets. Parents cannot-be too strict in forbidding this practice to their children. Theson who throws a stone by sore experience that this thing man, when real. estate was of little -value sales were few, it may not have been so necessary that every transfer of property should be re- corded; still there are not many only a be- with each other forthe purpose of arriving atthe relative burdens to be assumed. But the fact is that the twocommittees are somewhat at logger-heads and have not yet arrived at a conclusion. : Another difficulty has been encountered in procuring land. The preferable site is on the Providence bench, just across. the river from Logan, but people owning there demand an exorbitant figure. Then again the holdings are com- paratively small, which renders it necessary to deal with several different persons in order to secure a sufficient quantity of land, which adds materially to the difficulty. To be sure proceedings might be begun and the land condemned, but this method is a very disagree- able one and endeavors are being Evrrors WESTERN WEEKLY:— I have noticed several inquiries in your journal recently concerning the Agricultural College and by pends, states that a general meeting of the Board will likely be called near the close of the present month, when things will likely, assume a more ‘defined shape.
