BUFFALO, Dec. 3lst, 1887.
We have seen Capt. Appleby. He

7 O'Clock, p. N. I
Seven hundred stand of arms have
been taken from the Batavia Arsenal by
order ofthe Mayor of Buffalo.
Eleven o'clock, p. Mon the re-
ceipt of the intelligence relative to the
destruction of the steamboat Caroline,
the most inexpressble excitement pre-
vailed through our city. The military
assembled-drums were heard IN the
streets-the court house bell was rung,
and our citizens focked together by
hundreds, to deliberate upon the pro-
per course to be pursued.
The meeting was organised, speech
es made, and resolution passed, that
those present would hold themselves
ready at a moments warning to defend
the integrity Of our soil, and lives Of
their fellow citizens.
The meeting was then adjourned till
Monday morning.
The independent companies are to
meet tomorrow morning at 7 O'Clock.

"The news from Canada which we
published yesterday morning. created
considerable sensation in this CITY.
reaching even to the insurance Offices.
We do not apprehend any national
trouble from the situation of these af.
fairs. We have the best authority for
saying, that "the:e is a good under
standing in regard to the Canada trou-
bles, between the Cabinet at WASHING
ton and the British Minister" 1t ought
however, ODE distinctly stated and un-
dcrstood, that the American people, as
such, have no wish to violate the neu-
trality which ought to be observed in
reference to the Canada troubles"
TALL wALKING.-A Mr.. Haviland,
who claims his abiding place in New York,
was seen doing some of Dave Hollis zotti-
est aoGLking about this place yesterday
morning. Mr.. H. had very imprudcntly
made some structures upon the course which
this paper pursued towards the abolitionists,
and was politely requested to seek an atmos-
phere not quite so much tainted with the
miasma Of southern resentment. If VIC
may judge Of his future progress, by the ra-
pidity Of his setting off, we have reason to
hope the express mail will never oyertake
him, and that he will thus be saved the
modification of knowing that he is strong
ly suspected in these parts of an undue SYM
pathy for that order of demons called trav-
cling abolitionists.
We learn that the above named individu-
al is partner in the house of Haviland,
Reese 4. Co. N. Y, and that branches of
his establishment are, at this time, success
fully operating in southern cities. Can it
be possible that this is the fact? and are
southern institutions thus to be trampled up.
on,and southern feelings disregarded by
those who have shared so largely our gem
erosityl He must be demon indeed, who
would grow fat upon the favors of COM
munity, and afterwards scatter fire brands
into the bosom of those whose kindness he
had shared. To the praise of our towns
men be it said they are on the alert for such
scamps. Nothing but the pitiful begging
of HaViland saved him from rougher treat
ment and perhaps his coadjutors might be
less mercifuly used, and we would advise
them to stay on their own soil.
We received, from an Albanian, just as
our paper was put to-press, a succinct ac-
count OF Haviland's conduct and treatment
by our citizens, which we regret was not
handed in, in time for the paper.
