EARLY HlSTORY-NO. V.
From the Detroit Free Press.

In January, 1776, the body Of Gen. Mont
gomery was decently inferred by order OF and
a. the expense OF the Canadian authorities.
MANY ungratelul Canadians joined the
enemv:" while ninety -four rebels enlisted in
royal regiment at their own request" Other
rebels enlisted and then deselted. Although
the winter was severe, the snow being nine or
ten feet deep, yet the fighting was kept up be-
fore Quebec during the months OF January,
February and sMarch. A flag OF truce lcame
from the rebels but it'll wasi not received.
As the enlisted, "rebels continued to desert,
those that renamed were dlsArmed aud con-
fined.
The people along the st. Lawrenee we're in
mnch trlbulation, not knowing which party to
join as most likely to prove the strongest.
Much speculation was INDUCED in as to whether
Quebec would be taken, and on one occasion at
a dinner table bet of two dczsn bottles OF
wine was made between . rebel and loyal
Canadian that the fortress would not be taken
and would be reinforced before May 8, 1774.
Much difficulty Was experienced in finding
out VINO were loyal and who were rebels; and
in one case it was thought not sufficient evl-
dence OF loyalty that q man had said he would
like to wade knee deep in the blood OF Bosto-
nian Canadians and ssvages. The truth un-
doubtedly was that the Canadians stood about
in equilibrium whether they would join the
Atlantic colonies or adhere to England.
A certain Moses Hazen, royal colonel on half
paw. "basely joined the rebels and was stllted
as colonel. He was once noticed by the great
Wolfe. but alas how altered. He raised SIX
companies Of rebel volunteers" Another flag
of truce came and was ordered off, aud the
be,rer was told that he would not be admitted
till he ,mplored the Kings mercy. On st
Patnck's day "the men were cautioned not to
get in LIQUOR" On the other hand, there were
many Irish troops in the rebel army" Some
OF these, on March II, 1776, passed the house
OF a supposed royaiist, which was well decor
sted with evergreens, and rs they passed they
gave shout and hurrs, with the exclamation
sd d-n that house and al that are in it ~
The man in the house replied, May God for
ever d-n you all !" In the month OF March
material and reinforcements continued to ar
rive from New York and New England, and to
pass down the river from Montreal to join the
besieging army before Quebec.
Practical Jokes took place during the siege

horse and set him up on the ramparts with q

EAGLE HARBoR, Nov. Sd, 1s'


EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
Thinking peroaps word from this country
might be welcome to some of your many
readers, l venture the task of "quill driver "
for few moments. This lakeport CLAIMS the
most northern latitude OF the main land OF
Michigan; being situated at the northern Limit
OF Keweenaw point, 10 county OF the same
name. Its exact geographic position is toen
SO north, range 80 west, situated among tho
great copper mines OF Michigan. The general
features OF this country are wild and rough !;
broken by ranges, varying in height from 300
feet to 400 feet above the lake. This village
unlike most others about here, ia not mining
town. 1t is lake port from which is shipped
all the copper from dozen mlnee-when they
have any to ship-and through which is re-
csived all the supplies for the same. Perhaps
no industry has been go sensib!y affected by
the pressure upon our business industres as
these mining interests. Villages once all busi-
ness life, have sunk into deathy quietness,
brought on by desertion, and followed by 3
general delapidaton. During this low price OF
copper, caused by the unsettled state Of busi-
ness. the great Calumet and Hecla mines with
their unprecedented richness have been able to
nearly swallow up these "smaller fry mines" J"
But the great Boom has reached US. Every
body straightens up fully a head taller as the
result OF sound fnancisl basis develops into
the prospect Of better days returning. The
first OF September, when landed here, copper
81 cents Stock, two days ago IN the rich veins
OF the Central Mining Co.," were selling for
$26, the par value being S25, to day 1t is worth
$40 per share. Cooper Falls mining stock
was worth 60 days since s1.O0 per share, ia now
quoted at $500, and still going mp, while the
Calumet and Hecla have reached the nice little
sum OF S232 per share Each boats arrival
brings some new machinery for prospecting,
repairing, or the erection OF new stamps st the
different companies mines. From the present
outlook, spring will find many mines, now in
active, in full working blast; developing the
richness which lies buried in an apparently un-
limited amount among the hidden resesses OF
these rocky ranges.
II thought of sufficient interest, Mr.. Editor,
L might at some future time give more de-
tailed account OF the country and Its mining
society a. developed here. few days since,
your correspondent spent SIX hours down 200
feet among the miners and the copper masses.
Snow is three to four inches deep, and more
coming. The first fall came on the 3Oth ult.,
and still continues with very much the appear
snce OF winter. The warmest weather OF the
whole season was experienced during the
month OF October, its Ike was never known
hsre-so say the oldest inhabitants. Yet some
old residents insist we shall yet enjoy our
Indian summer. Hope they are not false

tence from that journal The noble army of
working women, who, OF all women. best de-
monstrate their rdison d'etre, is IN general a
despised army; and while society appauds the
woman who is an artist, an editor, an author,
it does so by calling her genius and setting
her out OF that grand corps whore she legti-

fessions above the trades is wrong Since all
cannot adopt the former, those who choose
from the latter are equally deserving (and gen
orally equally intelligent) with the more ia

Most EngliShmen OF the lower middle class
and the lower class in cities have a way Of
walking which is distinguishing habit OF COM
mon life. had observed it in Engishnan Of
this sort in the streets Of New York, where l
could tell them by it as far as could see them.
They lay themselves out In their walking, as Ii
they were doing days work. They walk not
only with their feet and legs, but with their
hips and their shoulders and their arms, not
swinging the latter, but arching them out more
or less from their sides and putting them for
ward sttif1y as they step. Withal they look con-
sclouS OF their walking and seem well pie ased
that they are doing the correct thing. THIS
gait and carriage OF body is most remarkable
IN the soldiers that one sees about the Streets
