RED RIVER COLONY.

DETROIT, November 2S.--M r. Miles MDOn-
ell, governor OF the colony established by the
Earl of Sclkik at Red River on Lake Superior,
"a relative of john M'DUneli, Esq. OF this city,
and resently from the colony, passed through
this place, few days smce, on IA tour TO the
eastward. According 10 this genIleinan's ac-
connt, the climate of the country where the
colony is situated, is miIder than might be ex-
pected from It's latitude. The face OF The
country is generally level, inlerspcised with
groves OF timber and extensive plairieS OH
which innunerable herds of Buha!eeS and
other wild animals feed. Salt Sprimgs abound,
and the waters are well stored with tsII.The
colony, which was nearly destroyed IN tie
quarrel between the Northwest and Hudson's
Bay Companies, in 1915, is now il aourshiug

RESCUE OF CAPTAIN GERRIsH.

A letter from Batavia to a gentleman
in Newburyport, dated Feb. 20, says:
"At the request of captain Joseph
Gerrish, Of the brig Retrieve, Of Newbu.
ryport, we address few lines, to pre-
vent any uneasiness to you or his other
friends in America, that might be felt,
should report reach you Of his having
been murdered BY the natives of Java
Some days ago there was such a report at
Batavia, and it was undoubtedly credi-
ted; but we can assure you to the con.
trary, as we have received two letters
from captain G. mentioning his most pro-
vidential and unexpected escape.
"The particulars are briefly these -
