the establishment Of the Protestant
Indians place Of worship three years
ago, matters have been in q disturbed
state, and it is thought that the de-
struction of the Roman Catholic church
last week was done in spirit of retail
iation by the Indians for the wrongs
they have suffered at the hands of
several DULLES in the service of the
gentlemen Of the Seminary. The In
dams on the night Of the 10th inst,
armed themselves, and repaired to q
sandbank behind the village of Okla,
where they entrenched themselves, to
prevent the Provincial police from ar
resting any more Of their number.
Affairs having assumed a more serious
turn, further detachment of Provin-
cial police arrived and patrolled the
village night and day. A large, num-
tber of the inhabitants deserted their
homes and left the village, fearing a
conflict with the Indians. A murder
Gus attack was made upon the resi-
dence of the Rev. Mr.. Parent, mission
airy to the Protestant Indians. A huge
stone barely grazed the reverend gen.
! tIeman'S skull as he was seated at his
table surrounded by his family. The
| Indians, under their chief, well-edU-
Gated man in the prime of life, who is
we'll Informed in regard to the laws of
! Of the country, moved three miles up
the river.
Fortunately, the Indians wrath was
! appeased, and before matters had time
to assume q serious aspect, a compr0-
mise was effected between the Police
| Commissioners and the Indians, and the
Halter have returned to their homes,
/ and have resumed their old avOcations,
viz. the making Of fancy goods, bas-
kets, and Lacrosse sticks. The trial of
eight Indians takes place on the 9th
inst, for cutting of wood OH the Semi
mary grounds.
Is lager beer Intoxicating? is one Of
the questions which came before a
court in Toronto, the city where Mr,
Rine, the great temperance advocate,
lstated contained more hard drinkers

| University testified that a pint Of lager
contained 34 per cent. Of absolute
alcohol. An extensive lager beer
brewer, for the defence, testified that
he drank, on an average, forty glasses
per day, while German doctor stated
that lie could imbibe sixty glasses
WITHOUT becoming intoxicated.
A heavy decline III the shipping
business has occurred this season. At
Quebec great distress prevails among
the laboring classes, owing to the little
shipping caused by the scarcity Of car
goes. At Montreal similar state of
affairs exists. On Monday a strike oc-
CURED among the dock laborers, con-
fseQuent on the reduction of their
wages. The strikers assembled in a
body to the number Of two thousand,
and paraded the streets. An attack
was made upon a number Of men who
filled the strikers places, and police
were called out to dispense the mob,
who quickly dispersed OH the word be-
ing given by the Chief Of Police to load
their weapons and prepare to fire.
Police have been compelled, night and
day, to watch the shipping along the
docks.
Several attempts were made by the
strikers to use dynamite for the pur-
pose of having revenge upon those who
oppose their demands. So far, two pO-
licemen and several citizens have re-
ceived severe injuries at the hands Of
the mob, who are composed Of the
Worst characters Of the city.
