The experiment of propagatng salmon artifcially
in tho Tay is progressing most satisfactorily. The ova
in the boxes at Storemontfed have not however, yet
exhibited manifestations Of life, but as affordng
strong-n fact, certain presumption that they will
do so-we may state that Mr.. Robert BUST, superin.
tenden of fishing, took quantity Of ova from the
boxes there on Wednesday week, which he placed in
his office, and, from its high temperature, the ov.
has rapidly terminated into life. In fact, the young
salmon may be seen in his Office, fitting about in
small basin, with the greatest spirit and agility, ap.
parently quite at home We may add, also, if the
present mild weather continues, il is confidently ex-
pected that in the of twelve days hence
there will be nearly 1000 salmon fry in the boxes
1t very much to be regretted that sufficient ponds
have not been constructed for their reception and the
consequence will be that the Try will have to be sent
into the river in comparatively short space Of time

A Fearful Accident.

terrible tragedy occurred recently at the Of
Bury, England. pleasure party from Cambridge
went few miles down the river to dine at inn,
toy the side of the water. Among the party a
youth Ct Is, named VIM, from London, and his
cousin named Thompson, of Cambridge. While in
the inn, young VIM, seeing gun in the corner of
the room, took it up, and seng cap upon it, i'm
agined that it not loaded and having some per-
cussiOn caps in his pocket, fixed one on the gum and
pointing the weapon at Thompson, pulled the trigger
but no explosion followed. He then put the gun
down, and Thompson took it up, and he too, having
caps in his pocket, put one on, pointed the gun al
VIM, and literally blew his brains ont, scattering
them on the wall. The CONSERVATION thus produced
was indescribabe, and Thompson is represented to
have suffered the severest parOxisms Of agony. How
wonder fu it is that the repeated publication Of
rcnces of this kind should not suffice prevent the
childish practice Of pulling trigger at another,
where the remotest possibility exists Of the gun being
loaded. The inquest found verdict Of 'Accidenal
Death.'

SECRETS OF HAPPINEss.-A susceptibility to
delicate attentions, fine Of the nameless and
exquisite tenderness of manner and thought, const-
tute the minds of its possessors the deepest UNDER
current of Ie the felt and treasured, but and
inexpressibe richness of affection. 1t is rarely found
in the characters of men but it outweighs when is,
all grosser qualities. There many who waste
and lose affections by careless, and often unconscious
neglect. 1t is not plant to grow INTENDED; the
breath of indifference, rude touch, may destroy for
ever its delicate texture. There is daily attention
to the slight cOurtesies of life, which can alone pre-
the first freshness Of passion. The easy sur
priscs Of pleasure, earnest chccrfuness Of
slight wishes, the habual respect to opinions, the
polite abstinence from personal topics in the company

careful preservation Of those properties of conversa.

CANADA.-There is no part of the United
States, or of Great Britain that we know of,
in which the elements of strength, wealth and
growth are more rife and more active than in
Canada. Her internal improvement policy,
her immigration, revenue system, agricultural
interest, banking interest and her home trade,
all conduce to development. her taxes are
light, and public burdens, of all kinds are ca
sy. Her cities are filling up to such degree,
that in Toronto, London, Hamilton, &c, a
house or business stand can scarcely be had.
These cities are full of fine, noble blocks of
buildings, both of a public and private charac-
ter, of semnaries, manufactures and schools
Mechanics services are in active demand and
we'll remunerated, and every thing bctokens
life, zeal and prosperity. This state of things
has not existed very long, and is in truth in d.
rect contrast with the past history OF the prov
inces: 1t has been the result of selfdepend-
ance, on the part of the people. The ration
ale of all these facts points to the distinct and
palpable conclusion that ere many years the
Canadas will become separate from, and indie
pendent of, the mother government This fact
is just as certain as that the two provinces con-
tinue to exist.-Dctroh Inquirer.

RUSSIAN NAMEs.-If any Anglo Saxon au-
thor wishes to find apt names for bur-
lesque, let him consult the Russian army list
and thereby save his labor of invention. For
instance, at a review of Russian troops on the
plains of Poac,couski, to which approach is
had via Myslo,cski and Centoshauen, Lieutenant
General Count CLAM-GALLUs is stated to have
cut considerable of figure. CLAM-GALLUs!
Phoebus what a name!

Sault Ste Marie Canal,

correspondent Of the Cleveland Plaindcaler, from
Lake Superior gives good description of the Saut
Ste Marie Canal:
The length Of the excavation, from water to water,
is 1850 feet, to which is added the pier below 3O8
feet long, and the pier and the bank at the head,
900 feet long, making the entire length Of the work
5,658 feet-S78 more than mile. The fall Of the
St. Marys is Is feet, and the canal is IL feet Deep
The sides to be inclined from canal bottom to the
sloCe Of / feet to one, and to be walled with
stone, where there is not natural wall, that they
will present rock surface throughout. On canal
bottom the width is Ga feet, consequently it is 100 feet
wjde The walled banks are to rise five feet above
water line, making breadth of canal at tow-pa,h bank
lis feet. There is basin 400 feet long, 40 feet
wider than canal, placed about 900 feet above the
locks. There to be two locks, each $50 feet in
length, between the gates, made with walls 10 feet
thick at the base, and strengthened by stone buttres-
ses the outside IL feet apart. These will contain
5000 cubic yards of masonry, of which probably
r. 900 yards must be brought in vessels from a dis
lance. Not less than $4,000 tons Of it came in ves-
sells from Maiden, near Detroit. The locks are of
sufficient capacity to admit the largest steamers
floating upon our lakes.
At commencement of the vol there were POS 800
cubic yards Of rock and earth to be taken out above
water. The amount remaining is less than one
sixth of this, and If the work of the present month
equals that Of the past above six-sevenths of the
tire excavation work will be done above water, lcav-
ing something less than 1000 yards yet take
There will also be "a, 900 yards Of underwater
vaon to prepare for the upper pier, the greater part
Of which is muck and gravel. The piers below are
finished above water, and temporary 300 feet in
length is put up the north side Of the canal to ac-
commoda.c the great liciyhting vessels Of the COM
| pany.
The timber required for locks, piers, caisson gate
&C.. is nearly our! So the great work Of the coming
season is the masonry of tho lock walls and every.
thing is in good condition for completion Of the ca
nal during the summer and fall.

JUVENILE AMER1cA.--In President Aliens
lecture before the Mercantile Library Associa-
ton, he alluded to Young America in the fol-
lowing style: "Our children show extraordi-
nary precocity. The Miss drops the bib in the
evening and dons the bodice in the morning;
and the belle makes but single jumb from the
cradle to the cotillon, from pap to polka The
boy.but we have no boys now..yOung gentle

from the baby cap to the beaver, and in a
twinkling from peanuts to politics. He fin
ishes his education at IA, goes into business at
18, marries at 20, and is bankrupt at a."

SPANISH TRAGEDY.-A foreign paper gives
an account of the following tragical occurrence
"a lady. faslionably diseased, attended by SER
want, was at mass in the church Of St. Francisco de
Paula. Barcelona. when wel-dressed young man
seated himself beside her, and from time to time
whispered in her ear. She did not answer him, but
was observed TO turn red and pale. She after while
changed her place to avoid him, but he reioued her.
She again changed her place, but he again placed
himself by her side. AT length she left, followed by
her servant. But just she reached the door, the
man. who had hurried after her, stabbed her in the
Dody. She fell, bathed in blood. 1t turned out that
they were recently married. but that the female, hav
ing been grossly ilreated, had left him after they
had lived together about fortninht, and had return
ed home to her parents.

STRONG LANGUAGE FROM LOYAL SUBJECT.
There is excitement in Canada arising from IA
speech from the bench, made by Mr. Justice Monde
let, on the day appointed by the Queen for hunilia-
ton and prayer in consequence of the war. The
baonner, president Of the bar, sug yested that the
court should adjourn, in observance of the day. The
Judge said that the army parcel If murderers !;
for his part he did care which party got their
threats cut, and he would never Consent to an add
journnent to pray for such people. Mr.. BedweM. a
member of the BAR remarked that if the ga liant SOL

country murders, ten much more were their of:
fcers ard leaders mrderers, the British Parliament
and Ministers also,-nay the Queen herself who de-
clared war mn,dercss, and if so to pray for
their success was blasphemy TO this Mr.. Justice
Mondelet responded: $50 they are: so 1t is!''
Audible groans and Kisses were for the first time
heard in the curt. The members of the bar were
unanimous in asking for the adjournment, and the
count was adjourned

ter of young Californian to his betrothed
"And when / look forth upon the clear sky

home as guardian angels over the loved ones

WHERE Is kossUTH ?-Ethcr Fame has
lost her trumpet, or Kossuth has ceased to
blow his own horn, for we do not know where
the Magyar is, or what he is up to. 1t is
reasonable to suppose he is working for the
Hungarian Independence, and with GEORGE
LAWS 100000 muskets may do something for
his country. If this should meet the eye of
GEORGE SAUNDERS, he will please accept an
invitation to come out here, and explain to the
good people Of Minnesota, his dealing with
MAzzINI, LEDRU RoLLIN, and others of such
stripe. 1t is all right GEORGE come along !.
We do not fear you will do as KossurH did,
while here; for like Calypso in the travestried
play,

John Bell for Vice President, at the election in

The Pioneer and the Homestead Bill

BY one of those accidents which, if not alb
solutely unavoidable, are certainly very annoy
ing, communication which was sent us by a
friend, containing sentiments adverse to the
principles contained in the measure now be-
fore Congress, and known as the Homestead
Bill, was, instead of being published as such,
rlnted in our paper as editorial, and thus
we were committed to doctrines we do not ell
terrain. The article, appearing in the shape
it did, attracted the notice of the Editor of the
Times; who replied in terms and spirit chal-
longing our entire sympathy and appreciation.
The PIONEER has always been an ardent adj
vOcate of the doctrines embodied in the Home
stead Bill and its cOurs, will remain unchang-
ed. Since the idea of granting Homes to the
Homeless was first presented to the attention
of Congress through bill introduced by Sen
atOr WALKER, of Wisconsin, the present edi-
tor of The PIONEER has on various occasions
and through different journals, fully endorsed
the principle, and urged its adoption, as of I'M
measurable benefit both to the East and the
West. These convictions were forced upon us
after years of residence in the West, and they
have been strengthened by all succeeding
thought and observation.
We are indebted to the blundcr, however an
noying it has been to us, for the admirable ar
ticle in the Times in defence of the Home
stead Bill, and for pricking up our caution in
reference to such accidents hereafter. After
having, with seeming propriety, classed us
where we do not belong, will the Times have
the courtesy to right us with its readers?
