j. G. BEyNETT's DAUGHTER.-There was q time,
as almost everybody knows, when Miss BENEFIT was
bent upon taking the veil. So strong was her
desire that It was with great difficulty her father
could persuade her to put off for a time her farewell
to the life Of the world. Finally, by portraying
the lonely condition in which he would be left if
she should enter a convent, he succeeded in obtain
ing her promise that she would wait to fulfill her
cherished wish until after his death. When she
conceded that much she did not know how much
of a victory the shrewd old man had won. For he
provided in his will that in case she should deter
mine not to enter q convent, one-half of his pro-
perty, excepting the Herald, should be hers, and
this would be a handsome fortune if she should
however, persevere in her original intention, the
whole property should pass to her brother. What
was the result? Why just what the sly Scotehman
had foreseen. The people who had been urging the
veil upon Miss Bennett, being Catholics of the
sort that amass wealth for the Church and hunt
down fortunes as q hound might q hare, rather
than Catholics of the sort that have carried the
cross into every land beneath the sun and have
filled the annals Of the Church with the records of
their piety and heroism, found that she was coming
to them empty-handed and fell away from her as
if she had been smitten with the plague. She saw
the selfish and cunning policy that lay back of
much that had been said TO her, and retreated like
sensible women invariably do. Therefore, she is
now a happy wife instead of being q hopeless nun.

For more than sixty years these helpless people
lived, suffered ard died uncared for and unattended
by medical men. Settlers were few and doctors
scarce, and the colonists were abjectly poor. In
1913 the provincial authorities built wooden
shanties for the accommodation of the lepers, and
as a rule those who recovered from tie plague
were used as nurses. In 1910 the refuge on
Sheldrake Island, in the Miramichi River was built,
aud three years later the pest-house at Tracadie.

DEAR JOURNAL This land of "short,

consecutive weeks of good sleighing, and
with the glass marking 120 below zero,
there is no prospect of an immediate break
up.
The prevalence OF caushs and head colds
indicates, that this climate as a sanitarium
for asthmatic, catarrhal and pulmonary
diseases has been somewhat overestimated,
and yet from the rolling, well-drained sur
face and unobstructed circulation of air,
sickness would appear TO be the exception.
An effort is now being made to locate

We have heard from time to time con-
plant about the manner in which bitches
have been forced upon the people, whether
they wanted them or not, and charges
made that the whole business was being
conducted with the view of speculation by
the county officials in charge and few
contractors. Believing that it might be
partially for political effect, and knowing
the difficulties TO be encountered in pleas
ing all in such matters, we have probably
not given the attention to such complaints
as was due the people from US. Our at
tention was more particularly called to
presented with the copy to print petitions
and orders OF injunction for some thirty
and probably fifty suits to be entered by
parties on the line Of Two Root Ditch, to
prevent their lands from being sold to pay
their assessments on this ditch. We have
heard of instances where the land was as
sessed for more than it would sell If put
upon the market. And it is asserted that
this work was pushed through and the
bonds negotiated in spite of an injunction
that was granted to prevent the same.
We have also heard within few days
past that 100000 worth of bonds were ne
gotiated at Boston, by Mr.. Z. w. MERRY,
for the Commissioners to pay for these
bitches under the new plan of doing the
work, and that S57 900 had been placed to
the credit of the Commissioners in To

sircs to know what has become of the other

exact facts of these transactions. In fact
it is due all parties concerned, that NIL

CARD FROM REV. q. 4. ADAMS

En BEE. I'm Difference 10 the expressed
wishes of sump of my friends, and for the
sake Of other fiiends, | submit the follow
ing statement concerning a transaction
which took place in the Office Of Messrs
Wilcox & Stock, which some writer in the
Blude Of December 4th, has taken pains to
present in an imaginative manner.
The simple fact is that Messrs. Wilcox,
Stock q Co. never signed a contract with
me "in duplicate" or otherwise. wrote
and signed contract or agreement to sell
them sand for five years for tweaty. five
cents per cord.
The history of the transaction is simply
this: In 1875 had been endeavoring to
collect for Messrs. Clark, Of Detroit, and
james Dunipace, a bill for sand taken from
Delaware Flats. The sand company had
been paying u royalty of 80 cents per cord
which they wished for the future to be re-
duced to % cents. For the purpose Of
making the settlement aud to arrange for
the future, Messrs. Wilcox & Stock met
with me and n conclusion was reached
that % cents should be the price for five
years.
|, accordingly, for the sand owners,
wrote an agreement to that effect and
signed it read it to them, and they read
it themselves. The next day Mr. Stock
wrote me that they wanted the "exclusive"
right to dig, and replied that we could
not grant that. So far MS | was concerned
the matter stopped there. The bill re-
manned uncollected, of which fact | notIi-
Mr.. Geo. Clark, of Ecorse, who subsequent
y sent me the following letter:
"ECoRsE, Jan. 10, 1876
"Mr. ADAMS Dear Sir: My brother
was at Toledo, settled with the sand com
pany at twenty-five cents per cord, amount
Of sand 4S4 cords, and received Sl2I, rs
payment. Please send your bill and
will send you the money. We expect to
want you to attend to our interest in the
sand in the spring, etc,
Yours in haste,
GEO. CLARK."
Since writing the above, have shown
it to the parties named above, and they
have kindly certified to its correctness, as
far as they can now remember. The con
tract could not be found. Their statement
is as follows:
"The above statement of Mr.. Adams
concerning the contract and the circum-
stances under which 1t was given AMI signed
by him, and our subsequent settlement
with Mr.. John Clark for the Delaware
Flat sand is correct us we believe.
an 1. Wilcox,
al. T. STOCK.
Toledo, Jan. s, 1879"
Such are the facts as | find them on n
recalling of the transaction in connection
with the parties most interested in them.
Instead Of fraudulently Obtaining their
signatures, or obtaining them at all, as |
supposed at the meeting of the Presbytery,
they did not sign a scrap of paper in any
shape; but | signed paper OH the part of
several land owners giving them the right
to dig sand for five years ut the stipulated
price of twenty-five cents Il cord, which was
that they asked me to do that day.

The Toledo Bee says that it is probable
that the coming session Of the Legislature
will change the Ohio liquor law, and
adopt the license system. There is only
one little impedient in the way of such
change, and that is the Constitution Of
Ohio, which provides that ono license to
traffic in intoxicating liquors shall here
after I've granted in this State; but the
General Assembly may, by law, provide
against evils resulting iherefrom" Much
as such law might be desired, it cannot
be passed without change in the Constitu-
tion.- Pudding Gazette.
