James w. Grogan is an American by
birth, but for some years he has been a resi-
dent of Canada, After the great Meeting
OF the Six Counties, held at St. Charles in
Oct. 1887, which he attended, a Warrant
OF High Treason was issued against him.
Under these circumstances he was compel
led to take refuge in this land of Free
dom. LII Alter Durham's amnesty he re-
turned TO his home and quietly pursued
his business, till his over-loyal neighbors
who were clothed with o little brief author
lily, forced hun at the point Of the bayonet,
again from his home. Again he sought
refuge in a land once INDEPENDENT
OF BRITISH RULE AND BRITISH
INFLUENCE. The loyaIists next made
war upon his wife and chiidrens, and hav-
ing driven them also from the country,
they plundered and burned his property,
leaving him nearly destitute of the means
Of subsistence. Not satisfied with the
misery and want to which they had re-
duced this respectable and wealthy family,
the Canada tories next made application
to the Governor Of Vermont to hand him
over to them 10 be hanged on Suspicion
of having committed some act of ~retalia-
ton which in Canada is High Treason.
Failing in this, they next cashed over to
certain American citizens, with British
feelings, through whose influence he was
arrested On Wednesday last, Cor an al
lodged BREACH OF NEUTRALITY,

Highgate, 81 who, it appears, had got
deputised for that especial purpose. He
was accompanied by K. L. Paddock, At

all OF Highgste also by one Horace Dur
kee.- This worthy posse could not be-
gin their Work oi persecution Ill they had
first visited Canada. The object Of their
mission w~illcoine to light 10 due time. 1t
~sufices our purpose 10 know that they
out Of Canada, when they arrested
Mr.. Grogan. Their prisoner was lodged
in the Grand Isle County Jail, and with
him his keepers, Ruiter and Durkee, were
locked up together for the night. Next
morning the keepers rendered q poor ac-
count OF their STEWARDSHIP ,-Grogan was
gone.-There vas a rally, bat they met
more frowns than prisoners. Every man
has his price, as Oliver Cromwell u~seioto

Canadians! Fear not the future, weep
not for the past" The Americans fought
seven long years TO achieve their Indcpend-
ence, and they were organized, armed and
prepared in the outset. The Americans
were twice as numerous as the Canadians !;
and were aided by the armies and fleets Of
powerful and generous France. You, it
may be said, have scarcely begua the noble
work of achieving the Liberty Of your
country. Ii is less than two years since
tyranny aroused the spirit that sent a
LAFAYETTE from his home, his friends and
country to shed his blood in the defence Of
human Liberty. Be not dishesrten'd, Can
adams, you have won several victories
over the veteran troops Of England you
have caused the tyrants an enormous ex-
pense and you have gained many friends
in the United States, who are ready to rally
arc und the banner Of freedom, when it
shall again be raised upon your native
o il-Recollect, that you have contended
not only against the choicest troops Of
Britain, but that several American Gene
rails and Colonies have aided the British to
you, by Selling your arms, boats
and ammunition. And remember too, that
American people will not permit their
officers to- be guihytoi such disgrsceful
conduct hereafter. Poorly armed, herraSs-
ed, and prosecuted as you have been, you
have already accomplished much. The
American people begin to see that the con
tinuance of a military d~espotism in Canada
will sap the foundation Of their Republic.
They all regret the infamous conduct of.
he Woods, the Bradys and the Worths.
And it is hoped that they viii repent, and
atone for their acts.
The blood of your slaughtered county
men demands expiation. The brave men
who have been shot in cold blood, or mur-
Tered upon the scaffold 10 colder blood,
must not die unrevenged. The fire OF
that was lighted at Montreal, and
hat burned so brightly at ST. Denis, St.
Charles, aud ST. Eustache must not be ex-I
inguished.
Soldiers of Canada =! your country calls
or your aid. He who has no musket, let
lim work and get one. No true patriot
will neglect to have his arms in order, and
lis knapsack ready. The blood Of your
elbow citizens, shed in the cause of LibeT-
y, your country, and your God, cries IN
o you for Justice. Hear ye not the mourn
ng and anxious weeping Of your wives and

LIMIT OF SPEED ON RAILwAYs.-Dr.
Lardner has discovered, by experiments
recently made on the Liverpool and Man
chester railway, that the atmosphere is an
opponent Of railway speed more formidable
than has ever been suspected. At thirty
two niles an hour, the resistance it offers
is nearly eighty per cent. of, all thatqtbe
steam power has to encounter and it in
creases in a proportion so enormously
greater than the speed, that there is not
the slightest possibility Of any such velo-
city OF transit being gained, as some land
among them none more ardently than DR..
Lardner himse!O have anticipated. 1t is
that even forty miles aaf hour
canno& be maintained except at a cost which
mounts practically TO a prohibition.
Burke estimated that the number of men
destroyed in war, in all ages of the world.
up to his time, amounted TO seventy thon-
sand millions.-Mr. Buckingham estimated
it much higher.
The Andover and Haverhill Railroad
have declared a dividend of TWO per cent.
We learn that some undetermined mer-
chants of Boston, have presented the wild

collect, was killed last week on the Worces-
ter Railroad, with from fifteen TO twenty
thousand dollars.

of the denomination of $40.
Storekeepers and others will therefore be
