THE CANADIAN INDIANS.
Fears of an Outbreak.

New YORK, Aug. 2S.-A Winnipeg dis
patch says the Canadian Indians, deprived of
buffalo in the northwest, are becoming desper-
ate, and threaten an outbreak. When Sitting
Bull crossed the line, Great Bear, the Chief of
the Crees, protested, but the Indian commits
sioners pacified him by saying that Sitting
Bull will soon return. Now the buffalo have
been nearly exterminated, and the Canadian
Indians dare not enter American territory for
fear of collision with hostile Indians.
Lieut.. Gov. Laird. at Battle Ford, has sent
his family to Winnipeg. His position is criti-
cal.
A dispatch from the police at Fort Walsh re-
ports that serious trouble is ANTICIPATED. Col
Smith, in command of the Canadian forces,
leaves tomorrow for the scene of troubles. The
Dominion government is hastily organizing

GOiham's Growth.

The new city directory contains some
5000 more names than last years. This
Is supposed to represent an increase OF
about 10000 in the population. If we
keep on at this rate. II won't take us long
TO catch up with Paris. In 1875 we had
n total of nearly 100000. Next years
census will probably give us fully | .25O.-

are. the total population now must be
very close on To- 2,OO0.OOO. TIL" increase
in the city proper was somewhat aug
mented during the past year by the
rapid transit roads. These brought back
good many families who had gone
away on account of the difficulty Of get
ting up town and down town. The roads
have done some good in bringing few
of the emigrants back. at all events.
They will also do good in keeping others
from going away. But when this Is said
their praises are pretty much exhausted.
As neighbors, If may so speak of them,
they are downright nuisanccs. Now
