several days, from the shock caused
by fire alarm. 1t appears that an
incendiary fire was started in an un-
occupied buildrg on Main street
about 10 o'clock in the evening, and
the fire companies acoidently stopped
with their engines in front of the
Peters residence while enroute to
the scene of fire, which impressed
Mrs. Peters with the belief that
their residence was on fire, The
many friends of Mrs. Peters in this
city will hope that the facts are not
as serious as this report indicates.
Too much money is being expend-
ed on some streets, while other
points Of more importance are be-
ing neglected 1t Is expected that
this declaration will displease some,
but with the city's financial welfare
and ease of the taxpayers in view,
how could the subject be otherwise
properly treated? Should there
happen to be surplus of money
coming in from sources calculated
for streets and sidewalks, it could
be well employed in liquidating
other obligations.
Mr.. LOUIS BALL, of Highland,

month for the purpose of practicing
with our band, and to give instruc-
tions on the violin, guitar and all

siring such instructions should leave
orders either with 5. Il. Osborne
or A. Dresen. Mr.. Ball is desirious of
getting up a class here in instru-
mental music, as the same would

penses of these long trips. 22w2

venge to keep the assassins fully in

the End of April he left Manor Vaughan
to go to Milford, en- route to London

named Meehan, who sat on the car by
his side, with the driver in front. There
was a second car containing his valet
and another bailiff. All we're we'll
armed. The day was beautiful but
rather misty.
Stephens and his party stationed them
selves behind clump OF low thorn
trees, close to the road, armed with
double barrelled guns. From the roof
Of cabin, 400 yards away on the hillside
white cloth was displayed. This was
The signal that the Earl was coming.
His indifference to danger was mani
tested by the manner in which he divided
his party. The second car was 100 yards
away and entirely hidden by hollow in
the road. A short tins before Lord
Lsitrim had eyicted an aged widow
named Algoe, and opposite her ruined
cabin he fell,
Three of the party had been soldier
and were good shots, and each brought
down his man. One of tbs guns, rude
weapon, burst and blew the holders
thumb off. The driver was killed on the
spot. The bailiff ran back to the hind
car and dropped dead in the road: but
the Earl was alive when his enemies sur
rounded him. While making an effort
to draw his pistol he received three
loads of swan shot in the body, and when
the party behind came up he was dead,
and, save the ruins Of the gun and an
old horse-pistol, nothing was left to indi
cate the identity of his sLayers. Nor
were they ever traced.
Two Of the mon died in Australia, two
in the Bosr war in South Africa, while
Stephens came to this country and lived
bIameless life until he died. Eight
years ago he gave this narrative, intended
to eAouerats another man, and with the
stipulation that it bs kept secret until

Anecdote of Pulaski.

Ia the American army of the revolu-
ton there were few that could equal
Count Pulaski either in horsemanship OF
as swordsman His feats We're the
wonder and envy of h's officers, and many
were the serious injuries received in try
ing to initiate him. It is related of him
that, with his horse at full gallop- and
he always rode magnificent charger
he would discharge a pistol, toss it IL
the air and catch it by the barrel, then
hurl it at some object in advance; and
then, without in the least checking the
speed of his horse, he would slip one
foot from the stirrup and, bedding over
toward the ground, recover his pistol and
wheel into line with as much precision
as though he was engaged in ordinary
exercise.
During the retreat of the American
army through New Jersey, when the ma"
TONS prospects were almost at their
darkest, Pulaski, with a small body
guard, was pursued by party OF British
cavalry, the leader of whom was an &C
complished horseman. and mounted
nearly, if not fully aa we'll as the gallant
Pole himself. Pulaski rode in the rear
of his detachment, while the British
commander dashed on at the head OF his
The morning sun cast obliqus shadows
across the way, aud as the pursued party
entered long, narrow lane. Pulaski
having satisfied himself of the su perior
speed and tact Of his owe horse, slack
ened his pace and drew away to the side
Of the lane TO the left, furthest from the
sun. The pursuing Briton came up in
hot haste. with his sword elevated SO as
to make the decisive cut upon the Pole
as soon AZ he should reach him.
Pulaski gave no token OF alarm, but
kept his eyes fixed warily upon the
ground at his right. Soon he saw the
shadow OF the head OF his pursuer's
horse, then the shadows Of the uplifted
arm and sword, and then, with q light
ning-like sweep OF his powerful IN, he
gave the sword-cut of St. George and
this head of the British officer fell to the
ground, cut clean off by the unerring
stroke.
Pulaski's mathematical eye had meas
ured the distance by the shadow y &C
and his position gave such ad-
vantage in the long back reach of the
right arm, while the cross stroke of his
pursuer must necessarily have been at
a shorter distance to have taken effect,
that the latter lost his head before he
had reason to suspect that his proximity
was known, much less that blow from
the fleeing count was neditated.

are celebrating the anniversary OF the
birth of Thomas Moore, the poet and
sonester, whose melodies are cherished
in all true Irish hearts. He was genial
little fellow, a lover Of nature and of his
kind, and left many things to perpetuate
bis fame. In the Northwest, however,
he would have found more TO inspire
him. There is much inspiration IN the

two lines they ought to work and they
will do grand and everlasting service to

First, they should agitate for, and Sc

is one man already we'll known in Min.

In speech at Rochdale, Sir Charles

Home Rule were granted the Catholics

ants. The most remarkable thing was,
said he, that the cry of persecution came
not from the parts of Ireland where the
Professionals were isolated, but from
Ulster, where the Professionals were we'll
able to take care Of themselves. He
would answer this cry as MIR. Bright an
swered it. Mr.. Bright ridicnled the sug-
gestion of persecution, and said it was
foreign to the spirit of the age The
Catholic people Of Ireland had never
shown themselves a persecuting race.
He would like to call two witnesses on
this point Tbs late Mr.. w. H. Smiths
firm had an agent in Ireland who had
business relations with all parts of Ire
Ian for thirty years. This gentleman
had put it on record that, after this init
mate experience of them, he had no die
trust of his Catholic fellow-countrymen,
and was perfectly willing to trust his
welfare and the welfare of his people to
their keeping. The other witness was
Lord Spencer, who had publicly stated
that during his Vice royalty on two oc-
casions no case had ever been brought to
his not CO in which there was any sug-
gestion Of persecution in any part of Ire
land on account of religious belief. The
whole tone and temper of the Irish people
were opposed to religious persecution;
they had suffered too much from it
themselves in the past. It was worth
calling to mind that it was in Ireland
that John Wesley and his brother found
q refuge when they we're driven from
these shores as fanatics and pests. It
was worth pointing out also that the
Irish Parliament was the only Parlia-
ment in the world that had never passed
a statute against the Jews.
