In the House Of Commons, Mr.. Watkins
gave notice that on the l6sh he should ask
the Chancellor Of the Excsquer whether any
or what representation had been made on be-
half Of Her Massty's Government TO the
Government Of the United States, with refer
enee TO the Fenian organization, more espe-
cially in regard to the employment Of Ameri-
can officers, and the issue Of bonds by the 90
called Irish Republic. ul4
In the debate on the Address, in response
to the Queens speech, Mr.. O'Donohue en-
larged upon Irish grievances, and moved an
amendment TO the address, declaring IL to be
the duty Of ministers to examine into the
causes Of Irish dissatsfaction, and remove
them.
The cattle plague was the leading topic in

that the existence Of the Ministry depends

A Toronto special dispatch says the publi-
cation Of a letter addressed by B. Doran Kill
liam to the Magistrate at Ottawa, threatening
vengeance to Canada if Orapgemen are per-
mitted to meet in the capital, causes consid-
cradle concern. The Catholic Bishop of To-
ronto has given the Irish permission to make
the usual demonstrations on st. Patrick's
day. They will be out in full force, and
conflict with the Orangemen is feared. Last
Sunday the Bishop announced from the pull
pit that the Fenian agitation had at least the
good effect Of calling attention to Irelsnd's
grievances. Petitions for redress, he said.
we're being circulated. and il some charge
was not made in Ireland before the summer
was over, desperate conflicts would undoubt-
edly ensue.

THE SCHOOL FESTIVAL.

Noticing in your valuable paper an advertise
ment of the School Festival in East Montpelier, |
determined 10 be present. Therefore, on Wed
nesday afternoon | found myself in mine host
Hammetts spacious hall, gazing at a swarm OF
little folks, who had collected TO enjoy the holiday
provided for their amusement. Suitable recrea-
tions were arranged for them, and merrier crowd
I never bebeld.
The weather on both Wednesday aud Thursday
evenings was very unpleasant, yet the hall was
filled TO repletion. The toasts offered were re-
sponded to in very acceptable manner by Messrs.
Peck Of East Montpelier, Atkins, Gorham, and
Willard. OF Montpelier, the last named gentleman
generously giving several dollars from his private
purse, towards the fund. The exercises of both
evenings were of very interesting and high or
der. The music was exquisite, and the good
time coming was a good time indeed. All were
delighted, and the money received was cheerlully
given.
The receipts of the Festival were, ! understand,
nearly s400, which will be expended in furnishing
the schools of the cooperating districts of the
town with globes, outline maps, dictionaries, nu-
mercal frames, arithmetical solids, etc.
The object is worthy one, and we trust that
the millennium is dawning wheR the demands Of the
common schools will receive at the hands OF our
people suitable recognition.
Much praise is due the School Superintendent
Of East Montpelier Mr.. N. Davis, Jr., for his
earnest efforts in behalf OF the schools Of that
town, and for the rare success OF this festival.
May the people Of other towns be generous
in behalf Of their schools as the majority OF our
East Montpelier friends have been thereby secur-
ing suitable means for the scholars OF the common
schools to obtain good practical education

The Inteligencer OF this morning comes
out in bold article, demanding that the SEN
ate shall appoint a new Secretary OF the Sem
ate, as it says Col. Forney is personally Of
fensive to the President.
/ 1t is stated on good authority that the
President suggested the article in question,
and whether 1t was or not, that he read il
last night.
The principal editor OF the Intelligencer is
very intimate with the President, and espe-
cially so since the veto.
The Intelligencer takes strong ground
against the suffrage bill.
II it should be amended so as to take the
principles of the Jencks bill, il might be
adopted, over the Presidents veto but in
its present shape 1t cannot.
An attempt will be made in the Senate to
amend the House bill so as TO make it more
acceptable to Conservative Republicans.
There is nothing doing to-day in Congress,
except the eulogy in the House.
