HE FOURTH OF July IN CANADA-
The custom Of firing cannons in honor Of the
4th Of July having extended beyond the 18th
degree of north latitude as far as Sherbrooke.
Lower Canadian effort was made on Tuesday
the 4th, by nismber of loyal inhabitants Of that
town, armed with axe handles, to capture the
offending cannon. This attempt was resisted
by the other party, and general melee ensued.
in which clubs and axe handles were Piled to
the no small damage of sundry heads and Sims.
Two or three persons were hurt one man had
the bridge Of his nose broken in, and another
had a serious cash in the side of the head.
The attacking party were beaten off, and the
cannon kept by those who had used it, Most
of those engaged in firing and protecting the
cannon, the Gazette says, were Irish.

Stock Debts and Paper Money.

The following extracts from a late money
article in the y. y. Herald are important and
interesting TO the people
There is nothing so detrimental TO the
welfare of people as great and violent Auc-
tuations in the manner of employing money

which it cngcndcrS Is seen in the CONFUSION

many years after the war ceased in 1873. In
1903 the total expenditure of the kingdom
was f4S.99S. go. including f20.699. SCl paid
on account OF the public debt. This cxpcn-
diturc was yearly increased until in the year
1911 it reached fl06. $50. or S55O.0O0-
900. This almost incredible sum of money
was yearly drawn from the people at large.
and expended in military and naval opera
tons. The continuance OF the war DESTROY
cd many industrial cmplo, mcnts. but the ex-
pcnditurc of so large a sum annually by the
government built up immense interest, on the
