THE opposition journals of Canada, notably
the Toronto Globe, are freely criticising Lord
Lisgar for his expression of approval of the
treaty of Washington, at Vanceboro. They
say that the endorsement was made for the
benefit OF Sir John A. Mcdonald, and that
the Governor General, forgetting the proprie-
ties OF his station, has descended tc the posi-
ton OF partlzan politician. This rebuke to
the representative of "her sacred Majesty"

THE REPORT OF THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE
OF NEW YoRK.-The committee chosen at the
suggestion of the Ring to investigate in con-
necton with the aldermen the affairs of the
city have reported at length and quite adverse
iy to the Ring AS this committee was made
up by the friends of the Ring, its results are
damaging in the extreme. The following are
the conclusions of the committee:
1. The debt of our city is doubling every two
years.
2. SO, 200, 900 have been paid for repairs on ar
mories and drill-rooms, the actual cost of which
was less than $250,000
3. Over $11,0OOOOO have been charged for
OUTLAWS ON an unfinished courthouse, for which
building completed an honest estimate of real
cost would be less than $4,000
4. Safes, carpets, furniture, cabinetwork,
painting. plumbing, gas and pIastering have
cost 81, 2S9, 466 81, which are valued by compe-
tent persons, after careful examination, at
1924, 1870 40.
5. $3.50 900 have been paid for SIS. 900 worth
of lumber. r4 f5ff
6. The printing, advertising, stationery, &C.,
of the city and county, have cost in TWO years
and eight months 81, 16S, 212 %.
Z A large number of persons are on the pay
rolls of the city whose services are neither rem
dered nor required.
+ g. Figures upon warrants and vouchers have
been fraudulently altered, and payments have
repeatedly De6n maze on Forged Endorsements.
With these facts before them, your Commit
tee are compelled to report to you that in their
judgment, frauds and robberies of the most in.
famous character have been committed with
the connivance and cooperation of some of
the officials who were appointed to guard the
interests of the people.
The condition Of the City and County .f,,an-

to destroy all confidence in the management Of

A CLERGYMAN MURDERS HIS WHE.-Ail
England is agitated by the discovery of pecu-
liarly awful tragedy which occurred recently in
Stockwell. On the 9th, murder was commit
ted in that place, and was attended by fright.
full circumstances, the murderer being the Rev.
Mr.. Watson, q clergyman well-known in Lon
don, having for upwards of twenty-five years
filled tt e important position of head master of
the Stockwell Grammar School. The victim
of the crime is his wife. lady about 81 years
Of age, and the body remained concealed in
the house for three days before it was found
The crime was brought to light by the attempt
ed suicide of the murderer, and all mystery,
except as to the motive, is disposed of by the
following letter, which was addressed to DR.
Rugg by Mr.. Watson:-"In fit of fury have
killed my wife. Often and often have I en-
deavored to restrain myself, but my rage over
came me, and struck her down. Her body
will be found in the little room over the libra
~ In the meantime the servant girl had
noticed the absence of Mrs. Watson, but was
told by the husband that she had gone into the
country on visit. On examining the house
the body was found in the room indicated, the
head having been beaten almost to Jelly. Mr..
Watson had attempted suicide by taking poi
son, and was slowly recovering when the sur

The Present Qaestions Affecting Public
r~ Prosperity.
A LECTURE BY SECRETARY BOUTWELL,

LECTURE BY SECRETARY BOUTWELL,.
The following are the more important
points in the lecture delivered in Boston last
week by Secretary Boutwell,:
The speaker said he would consider some
of the
ERRORS WHICH THE LABoRIEG MIN CON.
and first, they look to labor organizations for
general and permanent good. These organi-
cations are not to be denounced, and they
have the right to say what the price of labor
should be; but the good accomplished by this
is only temporary. Second, they spend
too much time in considering whether they
should labor six, eight or ten hours DAY.
As the EMPLOYERS come to ascertain their IN
| terests this will be settled. In the mines and
| in unhealthy pursuits the man should per-
| hans labor but six hours day; but IN other
| employments, where health and lie are not
| endangered, the man can work a greater num-
her CT hours. They commit a wr0ng-not an
error merely, but a great wrong-when they
| attempt to dictate to the employer the num-
| Der of hours they are to labor or the trade one
| must adopt. Cannot a youth be a stone ma
| son if he chooses? Is it not the right of a
young man to enter any pursuit he peases
without dictation from labCring men? There
is Dut one general way LOT ldOOrlnS men 10
obtain full justice, and this is by cooperation
There are two kinds of cooperation. One is
among themselves, and the other is in rela-
ton to the employers. If you 60 into the
manufactures at Worcester and other places
and ask who would be accepted in a cooper.
ative organization, some would be rejected
and if you would 60 to the employers, the
same result would transpife. What does il
mean? 1t means that some persons are moi
| capable to work for. the benefit of men
through cooperative organizations. Conse
| quently there are some who must be elevated
to the benefits received by cooperation. This
can be produced by education in its broadesl
sense. The only way to elevate the laboring
classes is by education in the public schools
| supported by general taxation. The schools
| that are supported in any other way are in
| efficient.
Mr.. Boutwell, then referred to another sub
ject of interest, namely.

an established custom, the graduating
class planted tree in the College
grounds, with appropriate ceremonies.
The class selected an elm, with which
variety the grounds are alreadS abun-
dainty supplied. We would suggest
to the next class, that they select a va
riety not now in the grounds, vigor-
Gus, sturdy, Democratic Hickory,
which, if it did not in the least repre-
sent them, in qualities, would still be
an ornament to the grounds, and an
evidence of their coed sense.
Last Thursday, some careless indi-
vidual, or some malicious "cuss," sat
a FIRE in some woods, owned by Z. &
C.tYeung. and known as the Ketchum
place. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and although a strong force
turned out to fight the fire, more than
twenty acres of timber land were
burned over, doing great damage to
the timber, besides destroying sew
eral hundred rails. 1t is supposed
that some person was in the woods
hunting, and the fire originated from
the wadding of a gun. If SO, the gun
and gunner, if sold to the highest bid
der, under the most favorable circum-
stances, would not pay one per cent.
of the damages done. The same es-
innate will apply to any other origin
of the fire. Other individuals were
damaged by the fire, and still more,
were put in great jeopardy.
Prof. Marble, of Akron, gave the
Band several lessons last week, and
will be here again in j une. The Prof.
is deservedly popular as teacher.
