Fate of Sir John franklin.

MONTREAL, Oct. 2I.-In our extra Of
yesterday evening, we Informed the puf-
lie tina. rumor was current in town tha'
the remains of Sir John Franklin, and #
his crew and their SHIPS, had been di-cov
cred We Immediately DESPATCHED spe-
cial messenger to the Hudson Bay Compa-
uy's house, at Lachine, and through Tie
kindness Of the Governor, Sir George Simp-
sou, are enabled TO lay before our Ssadsy:
the following outlines of a.
ceiped By him yesterday from Dge1AcS
Dr. Rae has been absent on the coast
since the first Of the mouth Of June, 1883,
and returned to York Factory on the 2Sth
Of August last, from whence he forwarded
letters by express to'Sir George Simpson,
via the Red river settlement
After briefly noticing the resul. of hi
own expedition, and the difficulties with
which they had to contend, he proceeds to
state that from E-luimaux he hal obtained
certain information Of Sir John Frank
Inns expedition, who had been starved t.
death, after the loss Of their Ship, which
were crushed in the ice, and while making
their way south to the Great Fish river Of
Buck, near the outlet of which party Of
whites died leaving accounts Of their suffer
ings on the mutilated eorpses of some
which had evidently furnished food to their
unfortunate companions.
This information, although not derived
from the EsquimauA who had communi-
Gated with the whites, and who found their
remains, but from another band, who OBJ
tanned the details rica coce, may yet be
relied on No doubt is left of the truth
Of the report, as the natives had in their
possessirn various articles of European
manufacture which had been in the pos
session Of the whites. Among these are
silver spoons, forks, Dc, on one Of which
is engraved "Sir John Franklin, X. G. b.
while the others have cres:s and initials
on them which identify the owners as hav-
ing belonged to the Inflated expedition.
Drawings Of some Of these have been sent
down.
The fearful tragedy must have occurred
as long ago as the spring of 1850.
The foregoing en.traces al the particu-
lars as yet known in tins city.-Mntreai

Both these Catholic women were melted
to tears The tender words from the in
fant lips reached their hearts. As verse
after verse was recitcd, their souls seemed
suffused with the beautiful sentiments
couchcd in the hymn. When the last line
was uttered, the elder woman exclaimed,
"The Lord love the little darling" The
other exclaimed, glancing at her neighbor,
then at the child, &C. how beautiful" "
Both raised their eyes devoutly to Heaven,
clasping their hands, as though Invoking
blessings on the head of the infant preach
cr. A. for the children, they were motion
less, and turned their faces to hide the
pearly tears that coursed down their little
checks. Did they think on kind father
sleeping beneath a grassy mound Or
did their little hearts recall to memory the
intempcrance Of their mother! Did they
remember the time when she taught them
to say the Lords Prayer? Perhaps they
longed for that heavenly home,
..Where the dear little children. of every cline,
Shall crowd to Christs and be best
Doth the Scripture say IN vain, {" Out
Of the mouth of babes and suckIings hast
thou ordained praise? We think not.
The above is one OF a thousand instances,
in which little child is teacher We
know who has said, A little child shall
lead them"

Vote on Prohibition.

If the vote throughout the State has
been adverse. it should not discourage the
friend, of the cause. Let them clamor to
the Legislature for a Prohihitory Law, to
be applicable to such counties as choose
10 accept it. This is the way the school
system WAS introduced to gladden. and
make blessed on, State. Old Berks for
wears resisted it, and would not accept its
provisions, but finally yielded. She has
given 1888 against Prohibition now, but
in process Of time her eyes may be open
ed to the advantages Of Temperance, as
they have been to the necessity Of Com
mon School Education We, therefore,
claim it a, the right Of Philadelphia and
other counties that desire it, and our word
for it, it will not be many years before
Prohibition will extend its blessings as
universally over our State as has the
School System. We call upon our bre-
,hern throughout the State, who have
stood so nobly with US in the good cause,
not to relax their efforts, but to demand
from the next Legislature Prohibitory
Law, for every county that has expressed
a desire to have it, with the right for all
other counties to accept i's provisions when
they see proper.-Pintdd Sun.
| This is the true ground. In PhiladeI-
phia the people gave a majority of 1000

Now shall the people of that City be com
nelled to endure the terrible evils 0f the
Iiouor traffic because the people OF berks
County will have it? Chester County
condemned Rum, and shall her people be
cursed with it because Lchigh County will

A Touching Incident.

In his visits among the poor aud degra-
ded, City Missionary occasionally takes
with him his little daughter. not SIX years
old. In one of these visits, they ascend
ed to the third storey Of large building,
which is rented out in single rooms, inLab-
itei by Irish Catholics. On reaching the
farthest door, he saw a motherly looking
woman, who readily entered into conversa-
ton on religion; yet she seemed far more
interested in the ch1d than the preacher
Beside her was standing young woman,
who had Just been called to bury her two
babes, who died in Infancy. In another
part Of the room were two little girls, about
FIVE and seven years old; they had been
deserted by their unnatural mother, who
had become a confirmed drunkard, and
had left the city; their father was in his
grave!
After speaking many words of the pre-
cious Gospel to these women, the preacher
was aboui departing. Bat their eyes were
fixed on his child, with loving expression
So he said to her, Lucy, repeat one OF
