EDITOR TIMES: The Canucks are in
earnest. They have a saloon named
"Earnest," and they are in it all the time.
They say if Mahoney is caught in
Canada (catch UMahony in CanadaD
they will cut off his head and seLd it to
the Queen.
"Ia that case said l, @what will be the
Fenians' loss will be the Queens gain"
"How u said they.

and the Queen will have a head sstg

We are startled by all sorts Of rumors
daily and almost hourly. Yesterday it
was reported that a strong force of rail-
road hands, led by theterrible insolvency
was advancing on Canada by the OswegO
Railroad on a hsnd-car. That being the
slowest railroad in the world, some Of the
volunteer defenders of Canada, who are
fathers, wept bitterly, drove their bayonets
into the sod and shrIeked, Must we pass
away before they come and must our
children mix in this bloody muss?'
They unused.
Another report said that they were COM
ing by the Erie Canal. Viewed in a
strictly economic light, this would be their
best route, for many Of them are accus-
toned to work their way on the canal,

their hand in.
By the way, UMahony has got his hand
in the Fenian Treasury pretty well, and
when he draws it out it will contain some
thing better than Fenian bonds. Those
he will allow other. to hold while he holds
tc the greenbacks. Send on ycur sub
seriptions if you havn't money, anv lit
tie delicacies for the o Mahony table will
be appreciated.
A jar Of brandy peaches may have an

to report at least. The Canadians thom-
selves are becoming disguised with the
delay. Some Of them are beginning to
express fears that they won't be invaded
after all and so much excellent prepara-

A man was arrested to-day for throw

Being arraigned before a magistrate, he
explained that he only referred to the
