FEELING IN CANADA ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
"A correspondent Of the New York EX-
press, writing from Toronto, Canada West,
on October 23d, says:
A New Yorker travelling here, and End.
ing all the sympathies Of the people Of this
big city with your rebels, cannot refrain
from Informing your readers of 1t, 30 that
they may know who their friends are.
attended review to-day, which was gotten
up with all the gas and humbug that only
English officers can do. The soldiers were
all we'll drilled, aud those spoke to expec-
ted soOu 10 have a brush with the Yankees,
whom they appear to dispise as vehemently
rs human nature can do.
The militia Of Canada will soon be in for
mibable array, aud what with the British
troops here aud those on the way, will
make tremendous resistance TO any foe
attacking this country.
Various and malignant reports are cur
rent here relative to our worthy President.
Some say he is intoxicated at five o'clock
ia the evening, and that Seward is oblivi-
Ous at four o oclock-that Cameron is steal
ing every ything-that it is u contractors
war, and that Gideon Welles is only fit to-
steer fishing boat, and great many 9th
er bad things, too numerous to mention.
The fact is that the Canadians are afraid,
from Mr.. Stewards speeches when canvas
sing, that Canada is bound to be attacked.
Rankin's trial is not coming off again. as
they find they have no jurisdiction. 1t is
reported here that this good man has had
considerable money given to him by our
benign Government.
The garrison here is very healthy, and
with the exception of some or officers
suffering with delirium tremens, nothing
has happened to the regiment for ten weeks
They are now doing we'll, or rather consid-
cred out Of danger.

On SPRINGS IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY,
An oil spring near MoOdy's Mill, on the
Santa Cruz road, is really worthy attention.
No one had any knowledge Of it till recent
ly. Here is the history of its discovery /:
Some men were Telling timber for saw-logs.
They noticed on Telling a tree across piece
of GROUND, that the water, as they supposed,
shot up from the ground, as the result of
the conclusion. Directly after this, very
unpleasant smell was perceptible. This
lead to an examination, when small hole
was dug 10 the ground, and il filled imme.
diately with something resembling oil. TAX
ing some home, they found it would ignite.
Some OF ii was taken TO a chemist, aud he
pronounced Il an excellent article of oil In
a crude state. But q small per cent. of it
was other than oil. We believe the spring
is now in the possession Of II. ID. McCobb,
formerly Postmaster Of Santa Clara. This
led to further search. aud some other
springs have been discovered. The origi.
nal spring will yield, is estimated, from
four to five barrels per day. Some think
they are fabulOusly CD rich.-[S. Jose Mer.

Wnen the shoemaker now tells bis Ouet0'
mer that he treads very much on one sloe,
he, in fact, compliments him by the inlor'
nation that be has a healthy aud unsu3)9-
gated foot, determined to tread straight. IL
is precisely because children's feet are only
in the first stage Of injury, and are more
nearly as God made them than as tney are
destined 10 be made by the shOemakers,
that children especially come into trouDle
with the shoemakers, or with Inc parents
an6 guardians who believe rather IN shoes
than in feet, for threading on one side."
A strong and healthy foot tramples fool
ish shoe out as far as possible into the form
il ought first to have bad. Even the dis
torted foot, after the shoemaker has done
bis worst will often tread over the leather
of the inner side of the boot-heel to bring
itself into rome approach to the right line
with the great toe. In properly made
shoe, then, the great toe aud the heel have
their right relative places furnished for
Them. And, since they are to be in line to-
gether, IL must follow that if well made
pair of boots be placed side by side, so that
their heels will touch, their sides also will
touch through the whole space in front OF
the instep from the ball Of the great toe to
the very end OF it. They will dverge only
at the rounded ends, where the great toes
round off into the little ones, along whose
line, aud nowhere else, any possible point
ing OF the shape OF the bootsoie can be got.
Apart from the general necessities OF fit,
there is no better rough test of the degree
TO which pair of boots has been adapted
TO q pair of feet, than to place them with
their inner sides together, and observe the
out of the soles. The more they diverge
from each ether between the place Of the
greatest breadth and the end of the toes,
the worse they are the more they tend to
be in contact along that line the better
they are aud when they quite touch
throughout that line, they are what they
ought to be. To secure this, to secure al
40 sole Of which the greatest breath cor
responds truly with the greatest breadth OF
the tread, and, which, moreover, is con-
trived to allow room enough for ths play
Of the foot 10 walking including its length
ening or shortening with the ranging curve
OF It's arch, Ia to secure what we ought to
have, and what we can get only by defying
shOemakers' prejudices, and compelling
shoemakers, whether they like II or not, to
understand the true theory Of their trade.
