CHICAGO, February 10.-At q mass meeting held at Fort Garry, Winnepeg, on the Dist ult., letter was read from Sir John Young, Governor General OF the New Dominion, in which he says the people may rely upon it that respect and protection will be extended to the different religious persuasions; that titles to every description of property will be guarded AID that all franchises that have existed or which the people may prove themselves qualified to exer- else shall be duly continued or literally conferred. A message from Granville to Sir John Young was also received, to the effect that the Queen had heard with surprise and regret of certain misguided persons who had banded themselves together, to oppose by force, the entrance of the Lieutenant Governor into our territory at Red River. Her Majesty does not distrust the loyalty of her subjects IN the settlement, and can only ascribe it to Il Misunderstanding and misrepresen- .ation. Their opposition to the change is plainly for their advantage. She relies on your Government to expel misunderstanding and conciliate the good will of the people of Red River. The dispatch concludes: The Queen expects from her representative that as he will always be ready to receive we'll founded grievances, so will he ex- ercise all power and authority she has entrusted to him in support of order and the suppression of unlawful disturb ances.

Woman browns Herself in a Cis- 20 tern. - We have this morning to record the par ticulars of another suicide Of very melan- eholy character, which occurred near the hour of IL o'clock OH Tuesday night. The victim to the rash act was Mrs Elizabeth Davis, wife of Henry Davis, q lady living at No. 81 Knowles street, in the western part Of the city. 1t appears that Mrs. Da- Wis has been for some time an invalid and under medical treatment. She at different times gave way to violent and almost un- comfortable demonstrations, which indica- ted that for the time being she was not ex- sctiy in her right mind. At such times she would give utterance TO ineohefent expres- sions and wish and threaten 10 put an end to her existence. There was large cistern in the yard, and she had frequently bsen heard to say that she would at the first OPP portunity throw herself into it and end her troubles. Though an invalid, she was at intervals endowed with strength that enabled her to walk about and even go through ! considerable exercises. The family did not attach the full significance to her | threats of self destruction, though she was watched and guarded. On Tuesday night at the hour indicated, the unfortunate wo- man, unknown to any one, carried her | threat into execution. She arose from her bed, went to the cistern and jumped in. | There was fifteen feet water in the cistern at the time, and she was soon drowned. At daylight yesterday morning she was missed. Remembering her oft repeated threat, the cistern was explored and the corpse was discovered on the bottom. Mr. P H Achey and Mr. Harmon. by means d pothooks attached to rope, drew the body from the oistern, life being entirely extinct. | An inquest was held and verdict rendered in accordance with the facts Deceased was about 20 years of age.

The first run commenced on Thursday, and was con- fined almost entirely to the banking house of James King Of William. The drafts on that banker were very heavy on that day.

We are highly pleased to find that Mr.. Fl. O. Basford. in bis influential paper" so warmly advocates the re-elec- ton Of Mr.. Dunnell to Congress- We take few extracts from recent issues of the Austin Register, published since the death of r. 1. Smith, postmaster At Aus tin: May 1sth.-No man in the Republican party Of the First District is being abused at pres ent, more than Hon. N. H. Dunnell, and COM binations are reported as being organized to defeat his nomination at the coming Congress sional convention. Some parts of the combi- nation, which are arrayed against him, to say the least, will 20 farther toward making votes for Dunnell than any other thing we know Of. All men have their faults, and their friends know it, and Mr.. Dunnell is not without his, but it will take good deal Of solid argument to convince many in this county so far as one part of the combination against him Is con- cerned, that he is not the best man. The crowd at Albert Lea who hung their hopes on the one prong of the "tripartite" who didn't win last fall, are making considerable noise now about Dunnelrs candidacy, as they did last fall about their candidate, but their hopes will be wrecked, If the signs of the times can be relied upon, for Mr.. Dunnell will be the nominee of the convention at Waseca, and the Fitzpatrick will have to take back seat. May 2Oth.-Last week we referred to the three-cornered combination said to have been arranged to defeat Mr.. Dunnell for the Con- gressiOnal nomination. Mr.. Dunnell stands alone in this fight, with his reputation and record as public man to back him up, and if he succeeds or fails, he will do 90 on his merits, and so far as we are able to judge Mr.. Dunnell will be the candidate of the Republic cans Of this district. Fitzpatrick or no "tripartite.''

Then eggs are beaten into it, and the whole is poured into a huge round, shallow platter, we'll covered with olive oil and baked in an oven or over a hot fire. It is cooked along the streets and in the market square over charcoal stoves. This, with a half dozen other similar dishes, a few varie- ties of fish, cheese, fruit, nuts Especially chestnuts), bread and the wine of the region, constitute the food of an ordinary working mans family. They never eat meat. 1t is too dear. And, it nay be added, the Nicois in easy circumstances expend very little on the table. We ate the socca as we picked our way through the narrow streets down to the market.
