have had Canada before this time.
What 10 Certain.
1t is nevertheless certain that the acti-
witty among Fenian Circles throughout the
country is greater than ever, and that men
are being hurried forward from all parts
of the country. THIS looks ominous, and
gives reason for concluding that there is
more trouble ahead.

Detroit, Buffalo, Postsdam, Malone and
St. Adams; toward all which points
trains are moving heavily loaded with
armed bodies Of men.

to circulate to FIRE the Irish heart by rep
resenting active sympathy in Canada, ant
demonstrations such as cutting the canals

are all false.

TORONTO. June 2.-Barly this morning
troops left Fort Colborne, under com
mand Of Colonel Booker Of III,
Thirteenth Queens Own, and tire

Fenians were found encamped in tn,
bushes. The column at once at
tackled them, volunteers, driving tn
Fenians of. A number was killed OIL
both sides. +.
The volunteers behaved splendidly
