Tn Tuesday evening, when the ordinance pro-
hibitng the sale of fresh meats, except in the mar
ket houses, under discussion in the CITY Coun-
Gil, Mr.. CATHcARr proposed the old dodge of sub
hitting the question to popular vote. 1t was
but lately that the MAYOR tried to avoid the re-
sponsibiity of taking ground against the passen-
ger railroad by this manGuvre, and the small
politicians of these days are beginning to re-
sort, with increased frequency, TO the same
absurd substitute for legislation. Mr.. CATH
BART's motion was fortunately overruled,
but 1t was not tie less damaging in him to
have made it. OF what earthly use are Council
men or Mayors, if they are only to propound
queries to other people? However capable we
may all be OF voting nationally upon the greater
questions that divide society," it by no means follows
that we ever 60 TO the polls properly informed on
the subjects of Water Works Railroads or Green
Grocers. The experience of the past has de-
monstrated that the mass of the people
cannot be induced TO investigate such snb-
jects thoroughly, or to manifest much interest
in the fate that may await them at the close of
turbulent election, and selfish and active minori
ty has, consequently, more than once triumphed
over the community.
Then, it is useless to blame any man for his
advocacy of ruinous or unjust measure, for among
thousand it is hard to single out those on whom
reproach should rest. The object of appoint
ing Councilmen, if we understand any
thing OF the theory of representative govern
ment, was to remove the evils which would
result from hasty and i-considered laws passed
on the enthusiasm of the moment, or amid the ex-
citement of a mass meeting. It was deemed desir-
able rather that we should confde the direction of
matters of minor importance to a select body
which should have an opportunity of patiently in
vestigating them in all their bearings and which
with the honors should be made to bear the OBJ
loquy, if any, attaching to its position or its acts
Hence the people have chosen out of their own boz
dy their representatives. For such appoint
ment no man is fit who is afraid to meet any issue,
or is unwilling honestly to exercise his best udg-
ment and manfully perform its dictates.

A REMARK ABLE FOUNTAIN OF NAruRA AL aAs-The
Detroit Advertiser of the 23d, has the following
communications:
During late tour through Western Canada
visited some curious wells, which had been dug
during the past season. They are in the townst ID
of Howard about fifteen miles southeasterly from
Chatham, and two of them are about 200 yards
apart. They were dug of the ordinary size, about
80 feet, and then bored about so feet more when
a stream OF gas rushed up suddenly with roaring
sound that could be heard a furlong distant
man ventured into one of the wells but was suffo
Gated with the yapor, and fell to the bottom :
Another man was lowered to save him. but was
Obliged to withdraw twice before he succeeded in
fastening rope to the body of the first who was
dead when withdrawn.
tube, long enough to reach above the top of the
ground was made and driven into the hole, and the
well bricked up 1t soon filled with water to with
In ABOUT ten feet OF the top the gas escaping hrou
the tube, and the water clear and without any bad
taste. But in a short time the gas commenced ris-
ing through the water, which it keeps in constant
state of ebultion as in kettle over a brisk fire;
the water rising side of the WELL and roll
ing toward the other siGe-and having very much
the appearance of dirty soapsuds. No smell is APP
parent at the top of the well, and the water when
drawn from it settles, and becomes clear and
pleasant to the taste.
The other well exhibited nearly the same phenom-
ena, and as they were unwilling to risk life in it,
has been filled with earth, but the gas still rises
through the mud, and has formed for itself three
apertures crater, at the surface the largest be-
ing of oval shape. ten by eighteen inches in diane

bles with such force 40 to throw blotches of mud

could be ignted with match, and that it would
burn long time.
a friend who has since visited it writes thus 81
think it the grandest sight ever saw. We visited
tabout midnight. We saw the light some time
before we reached the house, and were informed
that the gas had ignited of itself or by means I'M
known to the family. There are three openings in
the top of the WELL the largest about the size of a
pail From the largest ascends fame about three
feet high, which burns very clear and as bright as
heap of shavings. From the other apertures the
flame was smaller, but equally bright, and all over
the surface of the well are cracks through which
issues fame resembling burning sulphur"
About seven miles from Chatham there is another
well dug in the manner the above described,
which exhibits nearly the same phenomena, and in
which, although the water in and above the clay is
very hard, the water is soft rain water, and is
drawn to quite distance in summer by the neigh
bors, for washing purposes. The gas in this well
has been on fire several weeks at time.

How TO AMERICANIzE CUBA.-In his recent ad-

the Hon. Thomas Butler King introduces fact
which we feel sure was not generally known to the
friends of Cuban annexation in this country: he
says that the number of Cuban children now at
school in the United States may be estimated at
from six to ten thousand
Added to this, Mr.. King says that the number of
visitors from Cuba to the United States in the year
1858, was between fifteen and twenty thousand.

We are not certain, after all, if it would not be

DEATH FROM STINGRAY.-A valuable negro man
belonging to James 5. Garrison, Esq, of Princess
Anne, while hauling the seine on Lynnhaven beach,
about ten days ago, was pierced in the leg by the
sting of the fish called stingray, the sting being
sharp, barbed bone growing under the long tail of
the fish, about the length of mans fore-fnger.
The wound it inflicted was painful and dangerous,
and, although the best medical skill and attention
was bestowed upon it unremittingly, the poor fell
low died on Monday morning last.

sentiment ought to inspire the French Clergy both

aid of March 3Oth, an English paper published at
Constantinople, after noticing the burning of the
American missionary buildings at Tocat, as already
mentioned in our columns, it pays high and well
deserved compliment to the American missionaries
generally in Turkey, as follows:
"The occurrence of this weighty disaster will, we
doubt not, excite the warm sympathy and regret of
large number of our readers-so universally res
pected and esteemed are the excellent body of men
to which sthe sufferers belong. Indeed, we risk
nobodys contradiction in affirming that the Ameri-
can Missionaries have done more to advance civil
cation and pure religion throughout Turkey than
all the other agencies, diplomatic or missionary,
which European policy propagandism has ever
set to work upon the country; and any misfortune,
therefore, which bealls them must be heard of with
deep regret by all who admire sterling and unob
trusive zeal and devotedness in so good cause In
Offering the following suggestion, we need not say
that we do so entirely without the cognizance of
those whom it concerns but in making it we graft
ty an impulse of our own, and anticipate, we ven
ture to believe, that of not few of our readers
1t is ths--that our Protestant countrymen both in
the capital and throughout the provinces, evince
their sympathy with the Tocat sufferers bv gener-
al subscription to make good the loss sustained Such
act of generous friendship would do more honor
to ourselves as Englishmen than even benefit to
those whom this heavy loss has fallen and every
aid that the publicity of our columns can rem
der towards carrying it out shall be most freely and
heartily given"
