1t is reported that a proposition will be
offered in the Senate this week for settle
ment of our claims against England by a
cession of the British territory north of
us. "This surmise," says the Philadel-
phia Press, has commercial as we'll as
political significance. With the cession
of British America fades away last appre-
hension that any transcontinental railway
will ever be built northward of the North
Pacific. When the Southern Pacific has
had its equal rights with the Union and
North, and each section of the country
has been fairly and evenly dealt with.
Congress is done with land grants. Even
did the topography OF the English terri
tories permit it, this change to title will
remove the last possibility of the building
of Pacific road across their stretch. and
the great valleys of the Saskatchewan,
Columbia, and Red rivers are absolutely
secured as tributaries and dependencies OF
the North Pacific. to hold to itself, its heirs
and assigns, forever"

kENpALL's MILLS, February II, 1871.
To the Editor of the Kenne6ee Journal:
noticed by the Waterville Mail of last
week, that G. A. Phillips made an informal
move, in the right direction. And it was
this. He asked the people to take steps to
oppose the building of fishway through
Augusta dam. IL it not singular in this en-
lightened age, that men can be found who
will entertain proposition to compel the
Spragues, or any other party, to expend
thousands Of dollars to promote inland fish
eries7 Are there no practical members in
either House, who understand all about in
land fsheries-passing laws, year after year,
that this brook, that stream, and this pond,
and that lake, must be protected at certain
seasons of the year, from the depredations
of certain loafers and whiskey drinkers, who
seek such places? Every fish caught, inland,
costs on an average one dollar per pound,
and why can't some member be found who
will make move in the right direction, and
that is to have every law on our statute books
relating to the retaking of fish above tide
waters, repealed at once. Is it not absurd
for the State to appropriate money and send
men with little minnies, and various otheI
small fry, through the State distributing them
in different ponds?
Show nae the first man who has ever made
twenty-five cents per day catching these fish
Nor can man be found who will have the
hardihood to say that it is a source of profit
To anv one save perhaps some whiskey ven-
der who may chance to be located near some
pond, and to ask you to pass a law compel
ling the owners of all these dams on this, and
other rivers, to build fshways, is wrong in
principle, and wrong in every particular, and
I trust, that wiser councils will prevail, and
no such foolish laws will be allowed to long
er disgrace our statute books. p.

Houston County.

We understand that the new county of
Houston is about to get into trouble. This
county is composed of fractions of Stewart.
Humphreys and Dickson; and being loca-
ted in the remote corners of large counties
Is great convenience to the citizens fthat
section. The counties of Stewart and
Humphreys have filed bills of Injunction
against HoustOn-Humphreys alleging that
the line Of the new county runs within
eleven miles of Waverly. her county seat.
and Stewart claims that she has been re-
duced below her constitutional number of
square miles. Messsrs. Scarborough
and Brandon, members of the
present Legislature, are attorneys for
Stewart county and Capt, Ii. NJ. Meade
for Humphreys. Col James E. Bailey.
Hon. John F. House and Gen. W. J. Broad
dus, have been employed to defend Hous-
ton county. We are unable to state what
viii be the probable result, as regards the
future of the new county whose citizens
have displayed enterprise and public spirit
by voting tax to build courthouse at
Arlington, the county seat. This, in view
of the surroundings, seems to imply that
the denizens of Houston are not afraid of
the consequences Of the suits instituted BY
Stewart and Humphreys who also act as if
determined 10 conquer or to die.

1.-THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH

l clipped the following professed solution
of the vexed question of the origin of this
expression from an Eastern paper quite re-
Gently:
"a practice prevailed in some parts of the
South before the war to have a goose pull
ling frolic about the holidays concluded as
follows: Agoose was tied by the feet to a
limb of tree Just high enough for a horse
man in passing, by raising in his stirrups to
reach the head of the fowl and give it a
pull. The string not being strong, a sharp
jerk would bring the bird. Each sport
paid the owner of the goose a 'bit' for a
chance to pull it from the limb; if he sue
ceeded, the goose was his. Sometimes it
hung little too high, and so eluded the
grasp of the catcher as he rode under the
branch on which the web-footed bird was
suspended. In such case as the horsemen
galloped past in quick succession, the re-
mark would be made by the bystanders,
that everything was lovely and the goose
hangs high"
Now the man who wasted the midnight
oil in writing that is a bloody Muggins,
whoever he is. The origin of the expression
is as simple and plain as need be. You in
the Atlantic and Western States have two
kinds OF Wild geese, VIZ: the small yellow
legged, spotted-breasted goose, called the
laughing goese," and the large dark goose,
properly called the " Canada goose" (Anser
CGnGdeRsiS.) This last always flies north
ward in early spring time, in foclls, under a
leader, who heads the column, and at briefin-
tervals gives off deep dull cry, honk-hOnk
-honk! From this note they are called in the
West and Southwest ''honkers." If the
weather is fair and prospect ahead pleasant,
these geese fly straight northward high in
air, the leader ''hOnking" loudly as he flies;
but, if otherwise, they fly lower, and in an
ticipatiOn of storms, break up their harrow
shaped organization, and look for place of
alighting. Thence comes the expressive and
forcible expression, Everything is lovely
and the goose hOnkS high;" the work hOnks
have been nj understood or corrupted into
'hangs" by the whites who heard it, as |
have heard it many times years ago used by
the negroes in the Mississippi Valley,

senting the army, Speaker Blaine, DR.. Tup-
per, President Of the Privy Council, and
Hon. J. Howe, of Nova Scotia, made con-

evening general illumination, etc, which
closed the festivities.

THE EPISCOPALIANS.
PrOposed Court Of Appeals.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1S.-The Committee
on Canons reported against providing for
the organization of Court of Appeals in
the Church, which would be in conflict with
the present Constitution. They are not
prepared to recommend any alteration to
meet the difficulties. The minority report
submitted an amendment to the COnstitu-
ton, providing for such Court, composed
of Bishops only, for the review of all ques
tions determined in the Diocesan Court,
which involve doctrine or ritual, or the con-
struction of the canons of the General Con-
vention. None but Bishops shall pronounce
admonition, suspension or degradation from
the ministry. Action on the subject was
deferred until Friday.
The Committee on CanOns reported in
favor of final ratification of amended article
five of the Constitution relative to the ad-
mission of churches and the admission and
formation of new dioceses. Made the
special order for Monday.
Canon twenty, title one entitled, "Of the
use of the book of Common Prayer" was
discussed and adopted by the following
vote: Clerical, yeas 30, nays 9, divided
4; lay, yeas 80, nays 6, not voting 4. Ad-
iourned until tomorrow.

THE EARTH ON FIRE.

History records no parallel to the terrible
fires which have been raging for the past
two weeks in Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan,
Iowa. and Wisconsin. But for the more
sudden and unexpected disaster which
swept Chicago from the face of the earth in
a few hours, we would have stood aghast at
The confagration of whole towns and for
ests-even these sinking into comparative
insignifcance before the sudden destruction
of a great city. Conseg uently but few de-
tails ofthe country fires have been published.
In Wisconsin the devastation has been
especially terrible, two thousand square
miles having been swept by the flames. All
tflat portion of the State east of Saginaw
Bay, and north Of point forty miles above
Port Huron, has been burnt over, and fami-
lies hemmed in by the fires have lost their
stock, their crops, their Improvements, and
in many cases their lives. Those of that
region who have been looking for the APP
pc;nted time "when the earth, the air, the
sea, the sky, and all that in them is" win
melt with fervent heat, have seen enough to
make them think the awful day had come.
The damage to the pine lands has been
incalculable. Coming nearer home fires
race along the line of the Louisville, New
albany aud Chicago Railroad, between New
Albany and Lafayette, Ind, destroying
miles of fences, hay, grain, cattle, barns
and houses. The protracted drouth in the
West seems to have converted every COM
bustible thing into tinder. The appeal TO
our charity during the winter will not come
alone from Chicago, as assistance is as much
= needed in the track Of these fires as at the
doomed city.
In California the cry has always been for
trees on her plains, that drouth might be
prevented. But look at Wisconsin! Be
-,--th the most impenetrable forests there is
3 4 out, as it were, a magazine OF pow
lt These forests have failed to attract
