British Columbia Items.
From the Colonist.


The Nivian-Kohler Troupe arrived
last night. The Great Vivian looks
younger and happier than ever.
Gen. Selby Smyth in his report on
the Dominion Militia recommends the
organization of corps of mounted in
fantry or rifemen for the interior of
British Columbia for the security of the
population from any alarm that might
occur to disturb the present peaceful re.
lations between whites and Indians.
Some time since it was announced
that two men had been drowned by the
up-setting of deeply laden-canoe be-
tween Sooke and this port. The name
of one of the two victims was then
known to be Mitchell, but the other
mans name was not till lately discov-
cred. Since the date of the accident
Feb. 13th--it has however transpired
that VIM. Troxel, recently from Oregon,
came to his untimely end in company
with Mitchell.
1t is reported at New Westminster
that Mr.. Armstrong will be required to
support the new Ministry or resign his
seat.

been too rough to attempt it
However, last Saturday, the good
weather and high tide occurred
at the same time, and, the scowd

she was towed up here as stated
previously. While her hull is
In good condition, her mizzen-
