The Lnnd rollc, Of Cannan.

The filling oil in additions TO the population
of Canada from abroad for some years past, is
pretty good evidence that some more liberal
land policy to actual settlers would be advan-
tageous, especially to Upper Canada. I'M
mcnao tracts OF good agricultural Government
llnJs are yet unoccupied in the Province, and
the policy of free homes Of 100 acres to actual
settlers upsn them, appears to be growing into
favor Free grants OF 80 acres have been made
during the last dozen years along the lines OF
nrw'y opened roads, and in even untavorable
Localities they have been eagerly taken up, ad
ding much to tho general improvement Of the
country.
In former years twenty, thirty and forty
thousaJd emigrants from the old world annual
ly sought homes in Canada Last year the
total WAS but IL 5d arrived at Quebec, includ-
ing ibe passengers who came on visits as well

Iiut for the loss Of lie attending the fOTay
Of lae crazy Brown among the Yirginiaus, the
whole thing would be positively ridiculous, and
ig1s fast becoming so even with the frightened
chiyalry themselves. The eccentric Gov. Wise,
as rep rted by telegraph, has so far recovered
from his fright under the backing of Virginia,
Maryland, and United States troops, that he
las veutured to pitch into tho Hapers Ferry

It is said that Gov Wise is not very compli

putting to them cowardco in allowing such a
hluliull of men TO mold a population OF nearly
2.C00 Inhabitants prisoners Tor "a hours.
He also spoke OF the fact OF eight OF ten men
keeping over fifty citizens in confinement. One
rephed-"Weil, Governor, but you must TO.

The Governor replied-"Ees, | know that, but
must say think doied like sheep also"
The Richmond Wing noted the trembling
haste with which Gov. Wise hurried off the
chiyalry of Richmond to capture "Old Brown

Terrific Locomo1irc Ernloslon


The explosion of the locomotive Madison, on
the Belefontaine Railroad, on the l7.b, was
one of the most terrific violence The engin-
eer Mr. James Wood, was instantly killed, ard
Mr.. James Githins, the fireman, was mortally
injured. The accident happened at KiIgore, the
train running very slowly. The Indianapolis
Journal says:
At the time Of the explosion the fireman was
standing on the tender pitching wood to the
furnace door, and was thrown back the length
Of four caTs-!alling to the ground about thir
~ feet from the track. The engineer was
found on his feet, with tie engine. leaning
against it, and must have been with it when it
male the frightful leaps from the spot where
the explosion took place TO where it finally
rested. 1t first jumped about one hundred feet
and made a hole in the ground by the side of
the track deep enough to bury itself in, and
second plunge took it about fifty feet further
where it rested on its driving wheels, leaning
little to one side, and just far enough from the
track TO be out of the way. The forward truck
of the engine was thrown back on to the ten
der, and the two forward freight cars and their
contents were shattered to splinters. The
railroad track was torn up--the rails twisted
and the ties scattered The tender vas made a
complete wreck, and the under works of the
engine broken into a mass of smlll pieces al
most indistnguishable The crown cap was
split entirely across and turned over to each
side
How the engineer could have remained at his
post, we might say, with the engine making
the fearful and almost Incredible leaps that il
did, is a mystery. lie was found in the same
place and nearly in the game position when
dead as he occupied when living and on duty.
The engine was built at the Cuyahoga works,
Cleveland and is tt first one sent out from this
establishment to which any such accident as tho
one related above has happened. The master
mechani, of the road in this city informs us
that it was ia perfect orlor, and that the acci,
dent is perfectly inexplicablc.

The party who left here periKamor, on
the Sd instant, to visit the eruption, re.
turned on the 10th, having been absent
only seven days, two of which were passed
in the neighborhood of the fow.. They
describe the scene as inexpressibly grand,
but that language cannot he found to
convey an adequate conception of its in
pressiveness. The eruption is on the
west side of Maura Loa, new crater,
estimated at fvet eight hundred feet a.
cross, having formed there, from which
the liquid mass was momentarily elected
in immense jets of a thousand to fifteen
hundred feet high. and falling over the
sides, poured down toward the sea. This
it reached on the 3lst ult., at o place
called Wainanalii, about IL miles to the
westward of Kawaihae, and forty miles
from tie crater. Here it destroyed a
native village, and fine grove of coacoa-
nut trees, running out into the sea two
miles and entirely filling the little harbor.
The inhabitants of the hamlet were
reused from 'the slumbers of midnight"
by the approach of the liquid fire, and
had hardly time to save themselves. AT
this point the stream is only two hundred
yards in width, and by last accounts had
cooled over on the surface, so that one
can walk over it, at the risk, however, of
breaking throughthe thin crust into the still
flowing stream beneath. Where the fire
meets water, very splended sight pre-
sents itself, old ocean Kissing and spouting
like q huge seq serpent, and constantly
sending up clouds Of steam and cascades
of water A second stream has started
from the crater, and at accounts was run
ming down parallel with the first flow
Old residents egree that the present
eruption Of Mauna Loa is the grandest
ever witnessed. There is, of course, no
means of knowing'how long it may contin-
ne or what damage it may do.
The eruption of'l855, on the Hilo side
rar constantly for seven or eight months
in succession, and this may do the same.
The glowing accounts given by the ex-
cursionist' 'swho have returned have excited
considerable fever, and on Monday two
scho oners sail for Kailua, the best point
from which to visit the flow.
