A Canadian Sensation.

Considerable excitement exists IN the
Parish of Bazile, County Of Portneauf,
Canada, caused by the occurrence OF
certain phenomena of nature, consist
ing of peculiar internal noises and
commotionin the earth, as well as defined
shocks of earthquakes. The noises
vary from low, distant mutterlngs to
Ioud reverberations. The conclusions
were so violent and threatening that
the more immediate residents TO the
place from which the noises we're loud
est fed from their homes, and others
are preparing to follow. The opinion is
divided as to whether fire or water VIII
declare itself. The resnlt is looked for
with much trepidatiOn.

TIE Columbus Enc uirer, having COM
pleted its inquiry into the state of local
social science, presents the ollowing
report, which is as wildly drawn as
one of Dore's pictures: ga sorry sight
it is to see a spike team, consisting of a
skeleton steer and skinny, blind mule,
with a rope harness, and a sqUint-eyed
driver, hauling barrel of new whiskey
over poor roads, on a hermaphrodite
wagon, into a farming district where the
people are IN debt, and the children
forced to practice scant attire by day
and hungry sleeping by night.

GEn. NORM has just exhibited before
the French academy, a bottle contain
ing eight kilogrammes Of osmium, the
most poisonous metal known. This is
enough, he exclaimed, to poison the
universe" as one millOgrsmme of osmi-
una, diffused thrugh one hundred cubic
metres Of air, renders it irrespirable. "
We really feel very uncomfortable, and
should like to know what the general
intends doing with that bottle.

railroad subsidy. That announcement
has been made and one year and a half
has transpired, and in three and half
years, by contract with the company,
we are to be connected with the world
by rail-" To prove this assertion, the
writer produces the record of the pro-
ceedings of the Supervisors upon this
matter, and quotes it as conclusive tes-
timony that the company is holden to
the county of Los Angeles to complete
the connection within three and half
years.
The Railroad Company, to obtain
the public land conditionally granted
to 1t by Congress, must construct not
less than a certain number of miles of
road yearly. If the company comply
with this condition, it will get the
land, whether the road is completed
within three or not until the end of
ten years.
The people of this county were au-
thorized by law to vote for or against
the issuance of certain amount of
bonds to be donated to the Railroad
Company. The Board of Supervisors
were authorized by law to submit this
question to the people. The law gave
them no power to make any contract
whatever with the Railroad Company.
The power conferred upon the Super
visors was only to submit the matter
to the people, who by an election
should decide the question. If they
voted i'll favor of the issuance of bonds
the Superv sors were required to issue
them, and if they should have refused,
the Courts would have compelled them
to perform their duty. They could
make no terms or conditions upon
which their issuance should depend
other than those provided in the law
which empowered them to submit
the matter to a vote of the electors of
tle county.
Strangers contemplating investing
in our midst shouldu not be misled,
lest they should be disappointed, and
become discontented and prejudiced
citizens, instead happy and useful
ones. w.
