near the southern boundary. Corn plant
lug is practic lily completed, and tho

cate wheat in this state to he IN good con-
dltion. But one cou.ty-Hnghes-in the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES EXCITED.
They Talk Of J%nsurrection and Eventual
Annexation to the United States.
A gentleman who has arrived Of Ottawa
from Newfoundland In connection with
business with the dominion gov
ernment, says that the people
of that colony are in thor.
oughly demoralized condition, almost ON
the verge Of rebellion against the British
government for the manner in which they
have been treated by the imperial:.authori-
ties In surrendering to France one OF
the most valuable sections Of the
islands, while France continues to dis
criminate against them. From this dis.
tance, he says, it is impossible to picture
the excitement that prevails throughout
the colony. No action Of the British or
colonial government has ever done more to
create a desire on the part OF the colony
for annexation with the United States than
the apathy now shown by the British gov
eminent.
Should we not succeed in securing our
rights" he said, there will be An insur.
%rection, and the United States will be ap.
pealed to by nine.tenths Of the people Of
Newfoundland to admit Us into the
union. All idea Of entering the dominion
has been abandoned, % not only has Sir
John Macdonald and his government
expressed themselves unwilling to as
sumo the responsibility such q step would.
involve in the present unsettled state Of
affairs, but the people see that their posi-
ton would not be In the least improved
by such an alliance, the only remedy be.
ing to enter the American Republic. which
would insure the protection Of the United
States against French aggression"

some charrcd human bones and small
key that unlocked the chest was all that
rewarded his pains. Ii was afterward
