We see it reported that Sir John has given the manufacturers of Britain to understand that there will be no abate- ment: of the protective tariff. This is . speaking with too much authority. He | . . i is not Canada, nor 18 Canada as a whole satisfied with his policy, as he would find out if a general election were to take place. We are no prophets, but; we venture to say that. a great. change in the public mind will have to take place if he and his policy rule the coun- try a moment after there is a chance to set them adrift. l l t t . The Pacific Negotiations. The leaders of the Dominion Govern- ment are having a jolly time in Britain, where they have been for some time past endeavouring to make arrange- ments with capitalists for the transfer to theta of the Pacific Railway from the hands of our Government. This step is no doubt dictated by a desire to get rid of the unpopular work of borrowing money, so Indispensable if Canada is to foot. the bill. Every now and again they are in the money market to secure the funds required to pay for some new extension of that line which may be said, even yet, to be only partly begun. This cannot. always go on, as Sir John well knows; hence the desire to get rid of the railway contract on almost any terms. Evidences are not. Wanting of dissatisfaction among his own party at the constant borrowing and steady sink- ing of the country into an immense debt to develope the resources of the North? West at. the cost, of the older Provinces. The result, thus far, has been a depre- ciation of property here, and the emi- gration of a large number of the ablest of our population to the States or Mani- toba. For his own interest as a leader it wouldbe well for Sir John to get the leakage stopped, or his party may be- Immedubious of his ability to do any- ! thing but contract. debts. The Crops. We are sorry to learn that the wheat crop is turning out on the whole a great. failure. For some time it showed a promising appearance, and hopes were entertained that. it would not. come far short of what the fall wheat would have yielded ifit had stood the winter. Lat- terly when ripening it all at once broke down, which proved that the straw was too \veak to support the head, and the consequence is that the grain will be light and of inferior quality. In some cases it will not pay the cutting, anti if ‘ taken off the fields will be used to feed cattle. Many are attributing the fail- . are. to inferior seed, others to the moist- ! ness of the season, and especially is this ' noted on low lands, but. it. does not hold good in all cases, as the break l down has in a few instances been as t bad on dry lands. The situation ap. pears to have somewhat to do with it. i as some fields not far apart. and of l equal quality of land, show different re- sults. Parties who have used salt, be- lieve that. it has had a remarkable effect in stiffening the straw, thus preventing it breaking down. This will lead to an extensive application of it in the fa- tnre, perhaps to the injury of crops, for ' ' - f thi: Frat-loo Falls. on the third Moudayot‘tnch them are “9" "‘m’mgl Buggy“? 0 i 5 month. oitlcc in Lindsay, out door to, Where salt Hwo large 5 or 00 reqtan - llovres‘ store. ‘ $50,000 530 LEXD , with the privilege or paying: at! in full or s by instalments at any time.

A sad event happened about noon on Monday last at Sturgeon Point. where- by Mr. Robert Wilkes. of Toronto. his only son Bertie, aged 1], and his daugh- ter Florence, aged 15, met their deaths. Mr. Wilkes arrived with his wife and children at the Point on Saturday, and on Monday morning took some members of his family out boating. Some of the other guests of the hotel had also gone boating and fishing, while others had wandered away from the shore to the woods surrounding the hotel. It. seems that Mr. Wilkes had returned with the boat, and some of his children had pre- pared to take a bath off the Point, where the bathing: on one side is per- fectly safe. While the children were in the water Mr. Wilkes remained in the boat, which was large and not easily managed. He was heard to call to the children to come and catch hold of the boat. Two of theta, his son and daugh- ter, appeared to have gone towards him, when the boy, getting into deep water, sank. Mr. Wilkes, it is suppos- ed, seeing his-son sinking, and being unable to reach him from the boat, leaped into the water to his rescue. Florence also got. into deep water, but; whether before or after her father left the boat cannot be ascertained at. this time. Mrs. Wilkes and other lady guests of the hotel were sitting close to the Point, and at once raised an alarm. The gentlemen were, however, at some distance back from the water and saw nothing of the occurrence. Before the alarm reached them, Mr. Wilkes, his son, and daughter had sunk for the third time. As soon as the gentlemen reached the shore Mr. F. Crandell and others rushed into the water, and Mr. Crandcll suecee'ded, by diving, in bring- ing up Florence, who had at. this time been only a few minutes under water. All the boats at the hotel were away the exception of the oneon which Mr. Wilkes had been, and which had floated away beyond reach. Every effort. was made by diving and with poles from a raft to recover the bodies of Mr. Wilkes and his son. The former was firstre- covered about forty-five minutes after he had sunk and the latter in about an hour, with the assistance of the crew of the steamer Mary Ellen, which had in the meantime .arrived, and with the guests who hadreturned with the boats. Every endeavor was made to revive Mr. Wilkes and children as soon as the res- pective bodies were recovered, but. all without avail, although it: was for a con- siderable time thought that efforts to revive Florence would have been suc- cessful. Ineffectual attempts were made to communicate by telegraph with Fen- elou Falls in order to procure a doctor. The bodies of Mr. Wilkes, his son, and daughter were forwarded to Toronto that. afternoon, Mrs. Wilkes and the re: mainder of the family, with some of the guests, accompanying them. “Goredby Mr. Wm. Littleton, a Fenelnn town- ship farmer who lives about two miles from this village, was so badly injured by a bull, on the evening of the 12th inst“, that the rapidity with which he _is recovering,r is somewhat surprising. The animal, which was three years old and of no particular bread, for some time past had oceasionaliy shown an “ ugly ” disposition, but. Mr. LitTtloton thought he could manage hitn, and on the evening,r mentioned tried to prevent him from leaving a field out. of which the cows were being driven. After some time spent at cross purposes, the bull became enraged. rushed suddenly at its owner, and, driving one of its horns into his left breast, made three attempts to toss him into the air. Mr. Littleton, with great presence of mind, sprang to his feet. the instant he fell to the ground, staggered to a stone-heap that. fortunately stood near, and climb- ed to the top ofit, while the ball back- ed away, with his head lowered, apparâ€" ently for a second attack, which, howev- er, he did not: make. Mrs. Littleton, hearing her husband’s cries, ran to see what. was the matter, but Mr. Littlet0n managed, without her assistance, to climb the fence behind the stone-heap and walk a distance of over a hundred yards to the house, where he laid down. and a messenger was sent; to the Falls for Dr. Bryson, who upon his arrival xamiued the injured man, and found the third rib broken, a ghastly wound eight. or nine inches long; extending front near the breast'bonc to the arms pit. and great. lac-erotica of the pectoral muscles. The doctor sewed up the wound, after having done everything else that he considered necessary, and when he cut the stitches on Monday last he found that the “ ragged edges " had united so firmly that there was no fear of their separatig again. The lat- est report as to Mr. Littleton‘s condi- tion is so favourable as to lead us to infer that. serious as his injuries up pcarcd at. first, the horn must. have eu- tcred but. a very short distance, especial- ly as the internal organs escaped un- touched. The bullwas killed the morn- ing after his offence was committed. and his fate wasa hard one. for after nine charges of birdshot and buckshot had been fired into him at close quar~ tors with scarcely any effect beyond blinding him. he was finally knocked’ dOWa and murdered with an axe. -â€"""â€"_â€"_-â€"_. x . ._ _._ - Mitt. .\C=‘trrt'..\'T.â€"â€"-On .‘londay last .1 lad canted Alfred Dell had the tips of l thesecond and third fingers ofoac of his hands taken off by the jointer in Smith .k Fall‘s shin‘lie mill. where he is employed.

Dr. Bryson, who was promptly sent for, set. the broken bone, and the lad, who is about 14 or 15 years of age, is recovering from the effects of the accident as speedily as can be expected. Rncovnatxo.â€"We are glad tolenrn from the medical attendants of Mrs. Isaac Walker, of Verulam, that. the series of operations by which she lost her right arm on the 2nd inst.,_ (as nar- rated'in the Gazette of the 7th) were not in vain, as site is doing well and there are fair hopes of her recovery. On Monday last it was feared that cry- sipelas had set. in, but the unfavourable symptoms soon‘hbnted. and on Wednes- day Drs. Bryson and Herriman, whom we interviewed on their return from visiting her, said she was progressing very favourably and would .probably soon be able to dispense with their ser- vices. Tm: WEATHERâ€"During: the past four or five weeks the weather at and in the vicinity of Fenelon Falls has been exceedingly dry, only two brief and not very heavy showers of rain hav- ing iallcu during that; period ; and the consequence is that: gardens and pas- tures are wilting, wells are drying up, and housewives are gazing mournfully into empty water barrels. In the hope of inducing rain, we commenced a week ago to take our long walk between home and the office unprovided with an um- brella; and as that has failed of the de- sired effect we have written this notice, which is almost sure to “fetch it." f0? past; experience proves that no matter what. we write about the weather the contrary is likely to happen before mtr remarks get: into print. On Sunday night there was what; may be called a sharp frost for this time of year, and latterly there have been two or three sudden and very appreciable lower- ings of the temperature, but no doubt, there will be a few more piping hot days before stove-shifting time arrives. A Double “Tragedy. PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH 01“ MRS. SHERWOOD BY FALLING OFF THE STEAMER NORSEBIAN. SAD DEATH OF CAPTAIN SHERWOODâ€"â€" THE FATAL MISTAKE OF A DRUGGIST'S CLERl-Z. Whitby, Aug. l‘l.-â€"â€"The death by drowning of Mrs. Sherwood. wife of Captain Sherwood oftho steamer .Vorrr- 7mm, and dattulitt-r'of the Rev. John Shaw, of the Methodist Tabernacle of this town. which took place at Charlotte on Thursday. has cast a feelingr of deep gloom over this community, where she resided for some years before her mar- riage and was most: wid:ly respected.- The facts would seem to be these: The Not-3mm", had left. Port. Hope in the morning on her regnltr trip to Roches- ter, and carrying an excursion to that town. Mrs. Sherwood with some friends accompanied the party, and as was over her wont; was one of the tnerris est of the company. When near’Chnr: lotto site began ascending one of the side ladders to the hurricane deck. The boat giving a sudden lurch, Mrs. Sher- wood loat her hold and fell into the wa- ter. Every effort: was made to save her. The captain and two sailors each dived into the water, but. the current at this point is so strong that every ef- fort failed. About. three hours after the accident occurred the body wns‘re- covered, and brought to Whitby yester- day morning. The marriage of Cap- tain and Mrs. Sherwood took place in the Methodist: Tabernacle here on Feb- ruary 17th of' this year. The deceased was only twenty years of age, the CidCrb ofa large family of brothers and sisters. DEATH Ol‘V CAPTAIN SHERWOOD. Whitby, Aug. 15.â€"The community was shocked this morning with the in- telligence that Captain Sherwood, of the steamer Norsrmon, was dead. It was but. yesterday that. his young wife was buried, and it appears that the Captain, who was staying at. the resi- dence ofhis futher-iu-law, being much prostrated with grief, his brother-inâ€"law, Dr. Shaw, prescribed quinine for his re- lief. The prescription was sent. to Whitfield's drug store and there made up. A dose of six grains was adminis- tered at. eight o'clock. Early this morn- ing alarming symptoms setting in, fur- ther medical aid was summoned, but it was of no avail. and the Captain expir- ed at seven o‘clock. The remainder of the medicine in the bottle was examin’ ed and an analysis proved it to be mor- phine instead of quinine. It. seems that the druggist's clerk in mistake gave the wrong medicine. A coroner's inquest has been summoned for to-mor- t row at ten o’clock. l The Captain's remains are to be tak- l cc to Prescott for burial, where his l family reside. The distressing event,, and all the sad circumstances surround- ing it, excite the lireliest feelings ofI ofthe water and tasted it. “'e hinted that it might have been “ cooked," but this idea wnsfrowned down as imprcbn~ ble. If an. analysis be satisfactory a shaft will be sunk, and in after years Wolfe Island may become the rival of Godericb in the producing of salt..â€" Kt'ngsiort Whig. . lfight Mistake. AS AMERICAN LADY “'HO SUPPOSED THAT HER MAJESTY IS BURIED IS VIE TORIA SQUARE, MONTREAL. A few days ago as a party of Ameri- can tourists were doing the city they paid a visit, nlm05t. as a. matter of course, to that beautiful temple ofjus~ ticc, Osgoodc Hall. The American party were from Indiana, and were on their way back frotu Montreal, where they had been visiting. A gentleman, one of those who subscribe themselves as being of the place and withnl a Q. 0., with commendable, gallantry showed the ladies around the Hall, pointing out. the manifold beauties of its architecture, its vast. library for the benefit of men of the law pledged and unpledged. He brought them to the Q. B., C. P., and Equity Court rooms, the rooms of the Master, the Referee, and in fact every- whereâ€"upstairs, down stairs, and into all the “chambers,” and finally, asa proofof how high the institution is held in the estimation of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, he exhibited to her a book presented to the Law Society by that. illustrious and regal personage, with her autograph “ Victoria. R.” gracious- ly and leginy inscribed therein. One of the lady visitors, after curi- ously examining it, said, “ Dear mel how elegant; I suppose she sent this to you just before she died ? " The gen- tleman, in amazement, said, " Why, madam, it's from the Queen; r the Queen's not dead l ” Whereupon the lady replied, “ Oh, I beg your pardon, sir,.I'm sure she must: be dead; we saw her monument. in Montreal,- where site is buried. If site is not, then I'm quite mistaken.’ The polite Q. C. gasped faintly and sat down. The visitors bowed their acknowledgments and smil- ingly departed, convinced of the law- yer’s ignorance of historical matters.â€" Globe. 1 .*..â€".-._.._ The Old System of Canal Looks. (To the Erlt'tm‘hj the Globe.) Sm,â€"I havevobservcd several com- munications on that most important. sub- ject, the Georgian Bay and Treat. Valley Canal, but. from the fact. that I have neither the acquaintance nor the add- ress of any of the parties most. particu- larly interested, I must. therefore intrude on your politeness to reach thetn' through your paper, which finds its way into every nook and corner in Canada. I would therefore state that the matter of dollars and cents is now and has been for the last fifty years the chief obstacle to the completion of that canal. l’ertuitme, however, in all seriouncss to Submit, that a most efficient, cheap, and economical system may be adopted with- oftfiany locks at all, tlmreby saving: in its construction several millions of dol- lars, as well as time and water in its its operations; that the longest canal in the world, being 700 miles, from Canton to Pekin, has been worked for thousands of years without a single solitary lock; and that. much nearer home we find a canal runnng from Jersey City to the city of Dover, Morris eouuty,t’.J., and thence to Scranton. in the coal and iron reg-ions in Pennsylvania, that; has been worked foriif'tyyears on that; same Chi- nese system, which the Jerseymen call being floated in the lockebamber, is drawn ona‘ cradle, then hoisted up or letdown to themext level, perhaps at an altitude of 40 or 50 feet. by water- powcr, in the short space of time of eight; or ten minutes. Then, )1 r. Editor, why cannot. the Trent Valley Canal be constructed and worked on the like cheap and economical principles. To satisfy the parties concerned let: me state that the celebrated Captain Eudcs contemp- lates the construction of his Intel-oceanic Central America Canal on this very cheap and most effective Chinese and New Jersey system. In fact, I now see evorything favourable, and the time most. propitious for an early completion of the Trent Valley Canal, and that it all dei pends on the indomitable pluck and per- severance Of those havingthe Inttter in hand. They should as early as possible procure an Act of incorporation, and adopt. for their motto and rule of action, “ that. the pods will help those that; help themselves," then isnto bonds not only for the amount of construction. but also the complete equipment, contingent and prospective of the vast amount of busi- ness that will force itself upon them just as soon as they are able and in pos- ition to handle it. Such bonds will b: mo'st favourably looked upon in Lou-loo by capitalists. as well as by statesmen. who invariably favour all and every project like the present. that promises cheap food and plenty of it for the mul- titude.

The manufacturers are cred- ited with great strides of improvement as regards the quality and cost. of their products. For instance, the iron mas- ters of England “ can produce iron and steel so cheap and good that. it can bear the cost. of carriage to New York, pay the preposterous import duty there, and still beat Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the markets of the North-IVest.” In this very year England will send one million tons of iron and steel to the United States. ...._.._.____.*.
