TREATY or UTREcHr.-The Phiiadct

facts ofthe Treaty Of Utrecht ITO sum
mp, we say that the Treaty of Utrecht
merely provided for a boundary between
French Canada and English Hudson's
Bay, without specifying d latitude and
that, as the northern boundary Of Canada
was 25, Hudson's Bay, even if crossing
the Rocky Mountains, could not extend
south ofthat line. We add that this boun.
diary, wherever ii should be, was never set.
tied. We add that the British could not
extend Hudson's Bay in l713, nor Cana
da ina783, beyond the Rocky Mountains,
being confined eastward of them by the
laws of discovery concerning rivers ; and
that the British never explored the N. w
coast at all till ITS, then only to 46g,
while the spaniards had explored it to 81
in IT'S, and their claim had never been
disputed by any European power. We
add that the line of 40, never specified
till 1863, nor then in terms, was merely
the line between Canada and Louisiana.
and could not extend beyond the Rocky
Mountains, which, under the laws Of "a
lions, were the western boundary of Lou
~tsiana.~

The COUNTY CLERK n IL WoLF.
scALP.-A Seneca hunter killed a wolf
Just within the bounds of Cattaraugus
county, close 10 The Pennsylvania line,
and took the scalp 10 Meadville, Penn
sylvnia for The bounty. Being questioned
where The animal was killed, he honestly
told the officer that he had come across IT
and shot it, as near as he could tell within
the territory Of New York, very near the
state and county lines. On this, the clerk
told him That it would be contrary TO law
10 pay him the bounty. "That is a bad iawl'
replied the red man. '.Why?" said the
magistrate-"we cannot pay for soaIps
taken out of The county."I 1t is bad replied
the hunter, because you require that the
wolf should know The county lines. Had
this wolf seen a flock Of sheep just within
the Pen n<yIvania lines, | dare say he
would nal have stopped for ~the-county lines.
On this, The ma. istrate paid him the bounty
Of FIVE dollars. sthootcretfs Notes on
