yet become unpopular in the neiShs5ring
province, to severity Of climate. &or And
let me remark here that Americans, who
profess TO honor labor, and who are more
or less profted by the toll Of these humble
workers, should be the last TO dcsPise
them on account of their occupations. 1t
they want to do justice TO the Canadian
nationality, let them go through the good
farming districts as well as the cities OF
Canada let them visit the institutions OF
learning, penetrate into the domestic life
of the educated classes, inquire into the
character of the people generally; let
them read the history of that province,
realize the great disadvantages under
which this people have labored, under the
rule of the conquerors, and then, If l
mistake not, they will find much to
sympathise with, not little to admire,
and few things to initiate, while they
see that the descendants of the first sttlers
of New France are as thoroughly French
in their language, manners and spirit as
the descendants Of the Pilgrim fathers are
Anglo Saxon, and perhaps more so.
BuRGLARY.-On Wednesday night the
store of W. S. Guilford & Co., on Mer-
chants Row, was burglariously entered
and about 5000 worth of silver-plated
ivory and rubber handled table and
pocket CUTLERY distracted from one of
the show cases. The burglar or burglars
effected an entrance by climbing over a
high gate back of the rear entrance,
whence they proceeded to a cellar win
dow, broke out a pane of glass and re-
moved the fastening, after which they or
he raised the window and inserted a
screw driver between it and the ceiling
to hold it up. Going in through the win
dow the intruder went up the cellar
stairs to the door leading into the store,
which was secured by bolt. This he re-
moved by boring out piece of the door
about three inches in diameter, inserting
his arm in the aperture and sliding the
bolt back. This done, the store was at
his mercy, and though he might have car
ried off much more, he either was content
with what he got or was frightened off by
some cause, probably the latter, as he evil
IDENTIFY left the store in hurry, he failing
to close the window at which he entered
or remove the screw driver which held it
up. He probably went out at the back
cellar door, as it was found open in the
morning by the clerk. No traces have
been discovered of the perpetrator of the
deed, though suspicious are directed to a
stranger, a gentlemanly appearing man,
who was seen hanging about Merchants
Row day or two previous, and who MIR.
James I'll. Dyer, of L. G. Kingsley's hard
ware establishment remembers having
sold screw driver to on Wednesday
morning, which screw driver was the one
found holding up Mr.. Guilford's cellar
window yesterday. Another thing that
would seem to point to the same man as
the burglar is that a package of pepper
mint candy was found on the floor of
Giuilford 81 Co.'s store yesterday morn
ing, which Mr.. j. E. Glynn recognizes,
by the paper in which it was put up, as
having been sold at his establishment late
Wednesday evening to party exactly
answering the description of the man
who purchased the screw driver of Mr..
Dyer in the morning.
