we must say that we never saw 30 much eS-
citement over what every sensible person re-
CARDS as nothing. EARLY last week Fenianism
troubled our nefghbors sorely, but as time

by reason Of sensational kilograms that were
flashed over the wires In every direction.
On Friday, q farge number Of troops we're
sent to London and biileted with the peo-
pie, In. The evening five companies we're or
aesed to Port satnia, five to Windsor, md
two to Paris. To relieve these, volunteers
we're sent from interior towns. It was also
rumorcd that several detnchments Of regu-
lars would also be sent to the frontier, hut
US ret none have arrived. The reception Of
thcse kilograms caused a lively commotion
in London, and few persons slept soundly.
AL night long tue streets were crowded with
people running to and fro. Policemen were

OF the latter we're sent to Sandwich, where
they nre now stationed. Upon their arrival.
the streets Of Windsor presented an cnlivened

doomed to disappointment. In The afternoon,
tho artillery stationed at this point paraded
tlruug b the streets, and attracted considerable
attention. The Canadian skedaddlefs, sup
posing them 10 be Fenrans, retired IN good
order. and scycral were last seen taking the
1rst train out Of hnrm's way. They will, in
all probability, not trouble the frontier again
with their presence, While, not doubt, many
Canadians actually believe TIN. the Fenians
intend to invade their country, the more er-
lightened do not for moment look upon
such movement as probable. Many think
merely a precautionary neasure-a trick to
ascertain whether "young Canada" wonld
come out when wanted. A few such *'tficks"

4 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
|. From the Tcronto Globe, 10TH,
| We be2fere this step has been taken solely
] on precautionary Erounds-nothtng new haS-
| ing trnnspfrcd to render further action neces~
| safy beyond the continued threats Of the Fe-
rian miscreants at their money raising meet
! ings. AS precautionary measure, however,
| the step Is most wise Que. Whether the Fee
Dians put their necks in the uoosc that Is
ready Tor them or not, It Is highly desirable
that the practical wozktng-of our Provincial
system Of defence should be understood by
our people, and confidence inspired as to the
/ efficiency and promptitude Of Its operation in
| .nny emergency. The cooperation Of tho vol
| untecr, force with the regular troops cannot
| fail, also, to have IN excellent effect.
