ADNlCES tkOM The EXPLORING
ON LAKE MISTASSINI.
QUEBEC, May 3O.-Dispatches have just been
received here from the Dominion of Canada eX-
ploring party. now at Lake Mistassini, in the
northwest. Up to the time that the dispatches
left the explorers We're unable to speak posi-
lively as 10 the dimensions of the lake, but they
had little doubt it would be found to exceed in
size Lake Ontario. survey of the lake and
geological inspection of its surroundings
would probably be completed in August,
and the return of the expedition may
be looked for early i'll the fall.
The country surrounding the lake had already
been pronounced by the geological branch of
the expedition as promising great mineral
wealth, while for agricultural purposes it will
be practically valuelesS. The lake was com-
pletely frozen over on November Goth last.
For the month of January the mean tempera-
ture at MistaSsini was II degrees below zero.
For several DAYS together the thermometer
registered is degrees below, and on one occa-
sion AZ below. All the Indians north of Heigth
of Land i'll the Mistassini district, are noIui-
nally Christians and members of the Church OF
England, their spiritual wants being minstered

The Cluverius Trial.
LILLIAN MADIsoN's LOVE LETTERS TO EMMETT

WILLIAMS.
RICHMOND, VA, May 3O.-Counsel on both
sides In the Cluverius murder trial this morn
ing spent more than one hour in comforting
over the letters found in Lillian Madison's trunk
which have not already been disposed OF.
An agreement was reached that instead OF
putting the letters In evidence 1t should be put
on record that the deceased and Emmett Will
liams, of Bath county, wrote to each other let
tiers OF q loving character between December 1,
1854, and March ;, 1855: that there was no
engagement of marriage between them nor any
intention OF such an engagement; that
Williams. who Is but nineteen years old
thought the correspondence was all in fun, and
believed that Miss Madison meant il in the
same way. and that lie led to believe SO
from what she had said.
The prosecution then introduced testimony
IN rebuttal of that offered by the defense prin-
clpally In relation to the muStache alleged to
nave been worn by the man seen with q woman
on the street car and near the reservoir on the
night of March 18th.
A number of witnesses for the defense had
sworn that they never knew CluveriuS to wear
a mustache. Eight ten witnesses, in
Guiding Owen Winston, clerk of the King Viii

LONDON, May 80. Rev. DR.. Stanton, the
clergyman who died on board the Nevada, and
who was buried at sea, was T5 years OF age.
The officers OF the ship report that his
death was the result of natural de-

before the ship reached port. The standing
orders given the captain are that he shall bury
all persons who die at sea. unless the relatives

We are not to be deluded. therefore, with any
such visionary suggestions as that the nature

although by thus crushing the rebellion, our
government proved itself able and more than
able to proudly defy the most direful of all
calamities that can possibly befall any people.
Yet this of itself Is not sufficient; for national
power has far better uses than simply those of
conquest; 1t commands obedience at home and
respect abroad; it inspires pride liz its subjects
and confidence in kindred foreign powers. it
enables its people to anticipate the progressive
tendency OF the age, and to thus lead in the
great march of national advancement. In adj
