sale ot the belmont Mill ON Saturdny.
We direct attention to the advertise.
mcnt Of this valuable property in to-day s
paper. There Is an impression abroad, so
We are informed, that the bondholders Of
the Belmont have made all their arrange.
ments for bidding in the property, and
tia, they propose to do so as a matter OF
choice, and that TO this extent the sale is
closed to all outside bidders. This i'm.
preston is entirely erroneous. The prop.
rrty is to be offered on It's merits, and on
this basis alone, and will be sold bona
Tide at II satisfactory price. The bonds
represent $500, 600, an amount considered
at the time Of the loan as far within the
margin otsaiety, only sl5, 600 more than the
property sold for in 1865, when there was
no blast furnace, and when not more than
two.thirds Of the present nail machines
of the mill were in existence. To-day the
property includes rolling mill, blast fur
mace, nail factory, warehouses, and other
properties. The blast furnace is sixty
three feet high and seventeen feet bosh; /;
the mill has twenty-five boiling furnaces,
and the nail factory contains one hundred
and eleven nail machines. There are also
about one hundred acres Of coal land with
five and hall foot vein Of coal.
The Belmont has been in times past one
Of the most successful concerns in our
midst, and enjoys an enviable reputation
in tho market for its nails. 1t has passed
through dark days before this, and en-
crged into great success, and there is no
reason to doubt that history will repeat
itself. All it needs is skillful management
and ample capital, and this no doubt it
will secure whether, bought in by the
londholders or by outsiders

GARIBALDI's FRIAR TucK.-The life of
Fra Pantaleo, who has often been de-
scribed as the Friar Tuck of Garibaldi.
and who was lately buried at Rome with
out any religious ceremony, was very
beautiful one, as Menotti Garibaldi and
several of her former comrades reminded
the large concourse of people who fol-
lowed him to his grave. Born in 1885,
he became Franciscan before he was 81 /,
and was appointed Professor of Philoso-
ply ut the Seminary of Palmero. His
views, however, were very displeasing to
the Archbishop of Palmero, who declared
him to be q hereto, and stopped his
course of lectures. This was Just
about the time the revolutionary
movement was beginning in Sicily and
Fra Pantaleo entered into it with great
fervor. The attempted insurrection in
April, 1850, having failed, Fra Pantaleo,

OTTAWA, 0nt., Oct. The government
to-day advertised for tenders for the con-

Yale to kamloops, British Columbia, to
be received up to the 18th of November
This settles the question as the terminus
of the Canada Pacific Railway, and the
route. SO far as British Columbia is con-
cerned. The section for which tenders
are called is part of the Burrard Inlet
route. 1t was ready for tenders months
ago, but pending results of the further ex-
plorations in the Peace and Pine river
region, to the north, nothing was done.
This new line will be expensive but it
open up very fine region.

very desultory manner. Much of the
corn in other parts of the Kingdom re-
mains unstacked. The greater part of the

damp state that sprouting or heating in
the stack will enevitably ensue. The cut
ting and carrying proceed very slow in

is much felt

WOMEN AND ScHooLs. registra-

stolid stinginess of hundreds of these

MILWAUKEE, Ost. 12.-Judge Henry
Hayden OF the Wood county court,
politician weli-known throughout the
state and candidate for attorney general
on the greenback ticket two years ago,
Wis shot and killed at Centralia. Wiscon-
sin, last Thursday, by w. IL. Cochrane,
cashier Of the First National Bank. The
affair grew ont of an alleged intimacy on
the part of Hayden with Cochrane's wife,
the scandal being one Of long standing.
Cochrnne had separated from his wife
some time ago, although no divorce had
been obtained. The weapon used was q
shotgun loaded with fve buckshoi, the
entire charge penetrating The right side
of the victim, killing him instantly. No
words passed between them; so it is
supposed that the killing was premedi-
tafed.

The situation Critical.

SAN Francisco, February 1.-THE
situation in Alaska is regarded as criti-
cal here, and the action OF the authori-
ties leaving the territory undefended
much commented on. The Bulletin says:
1t is striking fact that while the Fed
eral government receives sufficient in
come from Alaska to pay four per cent.
on the original purchase money, that
territory has noprotector, no authority,
nor authorized government, and the lew
inhabitants that are in immediate danger
OF determination have appealed to the
British authorities at Victoria for pro-
lection. The dealings of the Federal
government with this territory are with
out precedent. 1t cannot be said that
il is neglected on account OF its worth
lessness, because the agents OF the gov.
ernment have shown that its natural
wealth is great. Some months
ago only, company OF sol
diers stationed ut Sitka were withdrawn,
since when there has been but little shad.
ow OF self-governement. The Indians,
understanding the situation, have for
some time been menacing the settlers,
and at last accounts had began TO work
destruction.
The Alta says: Years ago nothing
would do but we must purchase Alaska.
Our Government purchased it and did
various things To induce settlement,
but all at once, in fit OF contempt
BILE economy, abandoned the people TO
their fate, TO the tender mercies Of
savagas who knew no mercy, TO the
very class as those who put to death the
officers, crew and passengers Of the
steamer Wright some years ago. The
people of Sitka have been left unguard-
ed, unprotected apparently uncared for
10y the Executive and Congress, and
now comes the cry of the abandoned
American citizens OF Alaska for aid, hoI-
ing for none from our own government.
Our nation is stamped with the disgrace
before the civilized world of having our
people apply to the representatives OF u
foreign government, for aid and protec-
ton, and the reasons given for this ap-
peal to the British for protection is based
on the fact as the petition says We have
made application to our government for
pr-tcction and aid, IN thus far il has
taken no notice ol our application.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Melancholy Fate Of a Minister'S
Daughter.
dispatch to the Register.

CENTRAL STATION, Feb. II.
Great excitement prevailed here all
day over the death of Miss Amanda
Renfro, aged twenty-one, daughter Of
the Rev. John Renfro, local Methodist
preacher in this vicinity, which &C.
CURED at eleven o'clock last night, from
the effect OF medicine she had taken to
procure an abortion. She has been
complaining for some time Of
being unwell, and told her parents
she was going to get some
medicine from DIR. Deyore, claiming
she had taken cold, and which
medicine produced abortion yesterday,
from which she died as above stated.
Just before she died she called her
parents to her bedside and made full
confession OF the whole affair. She
said David Bumgardner, who has been
paying her attentions for some time
past, had seduced her under promise OF
marriage, which he afterwards refused
to keep. Bumgardner, on learn
ing OF the confession and death OF Miss
Renfro, left for parts unknown. In her
confession she also said that about six
months ago she gave birth to a girl, now
living, under the same promises of mar
riage from man named keams,
who is the fatherIof the child, and is now
living in Eastern Virginia. She was a
fine looking and attractive young wo
man. The parents, who are well-to-do,
have the sympathy OF the entire COM
munity in this their double aflliction.
