The frequent use of the word schema
in all the official documents Of the
Council must have been remarked; it is
taken from the Hebrew, and means
''listen," figuring extensively in a pass

the Jewish ritual constitutes a special
''credo' TO be repeated by each true be
lever several times a day, at all solemn

sacred for the partisans OF the old He

Another Fenian Raid-Arms and
Men being gsathered-Canadia Ac-
tiye-ENpeditiOn 10 Red River
American Coin.

New YORK, April l6.-Boston reports
confirm the stories of arrivals of muni-
tons of war along the Canada border.
Gentlemen connected with the Vermont
Central railroad say that for several
davs there has been an unusual num-
Der of strangers carried over the road.
in the direction of the border towns and
they are now scattered in small squads
around Burlington.
St Albans parties are all Irish and
thew have been very reticent In conver-
sation with strangers He also confirms
the story of some weeks since of the ar
rival of boxes of small arms addressed
to well known Fenian sympathizers in
different sections of Vermont, but what
disposition was made of them is un-
known. There is no doubt but the
Fenians will give the Canadians much
uneasiness, even if they do not make an
actual attack. To guard against any
surprise or danger to the Dominion the
Government has centralized larger
BODY of troops at Montreal, and in a
few days there will be a strong guard
along the frontier. The Fenians in
Boston and vicinity are quiet and they
disclaim all knowledge of any projected
attack upon Canada. They admit,
however, that there is reason for the
canadians to be on the alert at all
times.
