friends who are 10th to give them up
and had hoped to have them another

could not consistently do otherwise.
He goes to BurrVille, Caroline Circuit,

think that that ought not influence
preachers, yet they seem to eat and
wear out clothes and nave many other
expenses that require money the same

TIE Delaware Legislature passed a
law this Winter forbidding the fishing
in the disputed district, radius Of -
miles around New Castle which reaches
across the river to the New Jersey
shore for - miles above and below New
Castle. Gov Albeit of New Jersey
who has been appealed to, has referred
the question Of the jurisdiction Of Della
ware over Delaware river fisheries to
the Encouragement. and pending his
decision, will take no action. The dis
pute arises from the fact that under an

The Halfbreeds in their forests homes

Riel the leader is strongly backed
with men, money and arms. and the
Canadian militia will have a hard fight
TO reduce him to submission. especially
ifit be true. as limited in the dispatches,
that the Canadian Indians, Of whom
there are 100000, are joined by the
border American Indians. Red tape has
caused the war, because the half breeds,

The war feeling since the attack Of
the Russians on the Afghans has not
abated in that Country nor England,
and the general expectations is that
these two great nations will soon be
plunged in war.
Russia is eager forwar. Her leaders
have said for a month past that Russia
must have Herat, and never a better
time for taking it ever offered than to-
day.
1t is certain that the trans Caspian
forces of Russia number more than l5O.-
600 men, and while England has been
drawling and parleying Russia has
gone on sending her troops toward
Merv.
To meet this force at once England
has a nominal Indian army of l42,OOO
men. 1t will take nearly a month for
them to reach the scene Of action. I'm
til the grand armies are brought into
contact we shall probably have only a
