War She Must Fight Alone.
QUEBEC, Jan. l0.-The full depth Of 10y
atty Of the annexation party in Canada
may be gagged by the following editorial
remarks of the Quebec Te'eglaph;
Great Britain may as well understand
that if there is war with the United
States il will have to do the lighting all
alone, at least so far rs Canada is con-
ccned. If we understand the views
of the people of this country Alright they
will not fight against their neighbor,
They do not believe in taking Yankee
Sealskins. Once war was declared the
reform party of Canada would, we be-
lieve, declare for annexation TO Il man
that is, If the Americans conducted their
business prudently; and all this would he
done without the slightest feeling of I'M
frcndlincss to Great Britain"

Asking to Have His Pension Cancelled.

Secretary Noble has received Il letter
from John Il. lIowctt of Los Angeles, CAL,
mclosing his pension certificate and
voucher for March, 1891, which he re-
quests be cancelled. Hewott has been re-
cciving pension at the rate of 50 per
month since October, 1888, for chronic
diarrhma and injury to his back,
In his letter thepensioner says that he has
fully recovered and has no further use for
the certificate, and that he trusted to God,
and now feels that it is wrong to receive a
pension any further, as he is well enough
to make his living without the pension.
The certificate has been forwarded to
commissioner RNum for cancellation.

John Wler has remodeled the old
house on his place at Shellpot Hill.
Old deeds at the Court House give tho
date of the erection of this old house
january 26. 1880 and the first settler
and owner of the house was Swede
named Abel. II was built of white oak
logs. Mr.. Wier says they have become
as hard as iron, and would last for 200
years more. The old fireplace stands
In the corner, which Is fashionable
now. The chimney is stone and the
hearth is stone flags. Mr.. Wier has the
inside furnished with furniture nearly
as old as the house. Although the
outside has been remodeled, the inside
is tho original old house, and with It's
furniture is real curiosity and we'll
worth visit, as 1t would give the peo-
pie OF these days an idea of how people
lived in old times. This house was
considered u very fancy house at that
time. and yet middle-sized man or
woman cannot stand straight on the
first floor, and IL you forget to bob
your head when going through tho
doors your head will get bump, yet
1t Is quite a comfortable house. There
were good mechanics in those days.
The front of the mantelpiece is large
solid stone, and they have taken great
pains to scallop the edge of the stone
all the way along the fireplace. We
suppose there We're dishes in those
days yet there are no cupboards in
| the house.
