In the contemplation of such a project, the Herald saw visions of extravagance which sent something akin to the death chill to its economic heart. If residences were given to Ministers, wouldn‘t erery official in the country demand the like accommodation? Wouldn‘terery municipal Liitle wonder that the resolutions were carried by acclamation. But unless proper precautions are taken the" last concession may prove dangerous to the peace of the country. Itis right that explorers should be protected in their efforts to discover the hulden treasures of the soil ; right, too, that they should be protected in the uninolested enjoyment of their discoveries; but there must be means for conveying titles to actual discoverers, or there will be no end to the disâ€" putes which will arise ; and five years of unreâ€" stricted * promiscuous‘‘ mining would farnish business for a Court of Claims for fifty years to come.

It is perhaps in this progressive character of " The Dominion Accourtant " that teachers and students will find its greatest excellence.

We await the denouement. We arse informed that Long has another wite living in the Unitcd States. A Runaway Couple. On the afternoon of Monday, 16th inst , a man, named Josh. Long, was apprehend«d in town, under the following circumstances :â€" On Tuesday, 10th inst., a man and a woman arrived at the Rankin House, the man regisâ€" tering his name as Wm. Card, Cardwell ; they engaged a single room, and remained there that nightâ€"the cletk, therefore, added to the above entry‘in the registry book "and wife." Un Wednesday the man found his way across the river, and called at McKay‘s North Ameriâ€" can Hotel, asking to be directed to Mr. Malâ€" colm McKerrall‘s residence, to whom he made himself known as the brother of a lad at one time in the employ of Mr. McKerrall at Waiâ€" laceburg, his real name being Joshusa Long ; representing also that he was without cash, and that there was due upon his trunk at the Rankin Houss the sum of $4, which he botrâ€" rowed from Mr. McKerrall to relieve it. He then appeared again at the North American Hotel, aloog with the woman, whom he represented as his cousin, and they engaged separate rooms. Long next sellied forth, and found work with Mr. Jerry Doolittle, in the erection of a wood shed for Mr. P.F. McKerrall1, near McNaughton‘s Hotel, Nortth Chathaw, and he worked with him till Monday afternoon, when there appeared upon the scene conâ€" stables Browne and Smitb, accompanied by anâ€" . otbher stranger, who claimed to be the husbdad of the woman already alluded to, Long was so taken by surprise that he had not a word to say, but submitted to be quietly apprehended and kept in custody till the arrival, by next train, of Chief Constable Wigmore, of London, who had been telegraphed for. In the meanâ€" time the husband of the woman sought her out, and appeared to be overjoyed at finding herâ€"she, however, treating‘ the matter very coolly. We withhold the names of the parâ€" ties for the present, as, from all accounts, the woman was more sinned against than sinning. It appears that she has a family of seven chilâ€" dren, and has also a sister living in Iowa, whom she had expressed an intention of going to seeâ€"in the hearing of the fellow Long, who ' at once said that he was going in the same dirscâ€" tion and would take charge of her ; it appears that she is rather weakâ€"minded‘at bestâ€"inâ€" : deed her conduct shows itâ€"and she arranged to leave her husband and children, and go off with the man Long, who also left behind a | wife and five children, in a destitute condition, for the bailiffs had been round a few days beâ€" fore, and sold off everything belonging to hbim, all that hbe left in the house for his famâ€" ily being 14 lbs. of flour and 2 lbs, of butter. Before making off, Long had burst open the door and broken the windows of his victim‘s house ; thero is also against him, we underâ€" stand, a charge of obtaining money under falso pretences, and it is principally upon these charges that he is now apprehended. Hoop skirts at the tuct;ry for 25 cents Ac inquest on the body of Caswell was opened by Dr.Smith, of Morpeth, on Monday, and adjourned till Tuesday, for evidence, when the jury returned a verdict of " Manâ€" slaughter" against Swanton, who was brought in and lodged in Chatham gaol, by Constable Curtis, of Orford, this morning. lage, boughté dresses for his wif, articles of comtort f(t:;]bo family, yet now in the prime of manh the ons is lost to the world for ever, and the other is bound to a lifs of shame, sorrow and remorke; and all for that enemy of the human raceâ€"whiskey.‘ % Th unfortunate woman died on Tuesday morning, An inquest will, of course, be held, when the whole facts of the case will come out, â€"~> On heming of ths occurrence, Constable (Turpin, and a colored illustration of one of Browne proceeded to the place, and found ( the stories.

Last week the term of enlistment of one of the invalid corps stationâ€" ed at Copper Harbour, expised, and he was honorably discharged atter a long and eventâ€" tul service as a high private.

This other sovereign was the king of Prussia, who furnished the necessary mouey, some 2,400,000 francs, which enabled Prim to buy over the Spanish fleet, and thus compass the downfail of Queen Isabella. â€"â€"The Illinois Central Railway Cozpany, south of Chicago, are building eleven miles of corn cribs, the capacity of which will be three millions of bushels ; they are crecting these cribs to receive corn in payment for lands purchased of the company, and the full Chicago price is paid for it there.

The howling of his dog attracted atâ€" tention, and upon several persons opening the door of his room, the body was found lying on the floor. No food whatever was found on the premises, and being without means to purchase, and probably too proud to beg, he literally starved to death. : â€"â€"The question of building a ship canal from Petersburg, Va., to some point on the Appomattox river, where the water is of suffiâ€" cient depth for theaccommodation of seaâ€"going vessels, which has been agitated by the press and citiz=ns of that city, at intervals, for some years past, is beginnirg to assume the shape of an enterprise.
