A Riot in London. A very serious riot occurred in Lon- don, Eug., on Monday lust, and tears are entertained that the trouble is not yet over. A demonstration of unenr ployed workingmen Was held in Trafal- gar Square, and several Socialist orators availed themselves of the opportunity to promulgate their doctrines. A crowd estimated at. nearly 50.000 persons quickly gathered, and, inflamed by the speeches and irritated by the futile ef- forts of the police to disperse them, soon started on a march through the adjoin- ing streets, smashing windows, looting stores, hotels and dwellings, and steal- ing or destroying property valued at $400,000. Three policemen were hurt, but no lives were lost, nor was any per- son very seriously injured. Several of the ringleadcrs in the riot. have been arrested, and steps are to be immediate. ly taken to relieve the terrible and widely spread disasters that led to the disturbance.

I have heard about a child being found, but don't know when, though I think it must have bet-n on Saturday. I know Sophia Udy and have seen her twice since she came from Lindsay. Never said that there was anything wrong with her, and don't know that there was. There being no further evidence, the hall was cleared and the jury left to deliberate.

L‘Lz, “ That the child had been instructions ; Mr. Ilenzin promptly made his appearance ; and, at a meet- ing of the Board last Wednesday even- ing, his opinion as to what ought. to be done was read and adoptedâ€"as will be seen by the proceedings published in another column. There is such a thing as legislatiug (as well as marrying) in haste and repenting at leisure; and, from what we have heard, the trustees â€"or, at. any rate, some of themâ€"ap- pear to already regret having so hastily agreed to Mr. llcnzin's suggestions. The regret is no doubt. caused by the (ll5>atti.~liictitiii expressed at the proposed new :irrangelneutx which We iuucy will i meet with a good deal of OppOnlllIitl from both north and south oi the river. The chief argument in favour oi the erection of a new school houm, instead of increasing the accomde ition by building an addition to the old one, was, that it would put, a stop to the complaints of the parents whose children had so far to go to the old school-house that they could not attend in very cold or wet weather ; and these complaints I will be revived if Mr. Rcuziu's proposed course be pursued. The Inspector is invested with a good deal of power, and can, unless we are mistaken, enforce his suggestions; but we do not. for a mo- ment suppose that he has the least, dis- pOsitiou to be arbitrary, though no doubt he is of the opinion that the or- ganization of the schools so that they shall best serve the end of their exist- ence ought to override all other consid- erations. What is to be done we really ‘do not know.

We confess our inability to see how the difficulty is to be overcome ; but. as six heads are better than one, perhaps the trustees will beable to hit upon some course that Is likely to be more popular than the one suggested by Mr. Iteaain. The Inquest Concluded.

Any person who has served, even for a few weeks, as local reporter for a newspaper, and whose duty it is to as- certain the facts upon which flying ru- mors are based, will lose all faith in traditions, if he ever had any. The simplest statement. will become so ulter- ed and umgnilii-d by the time it is an hour old that its author can hardly recognize it, and it we had published everything that came to our cars as we heard it, the Gazette would have con- tained enough lies: to sink a man-nilwnr, provided lies weighed a pound each. Last week some one dropicd into the other: and told us, with every appear- ance of believing it himself, that a Lind- say Salvatiouist named Strong had killed his wife with a tire shovel while in a “ glory fit,” and that Capt. God- frey of this village was going to town to assist at. the unfortunate woman‘s funeral. It. was hard to resist the icinptntion to put so sensational an item into type; but when the truth was known all the “ glory " and loud con- sequences were knocked out of the of- fair, which dwindled to a case of com- mon aggravated assault.

They left about 4 p. m., and as the weather was very fine and mild and the sleighng good, the young ladies had a pleasant drive both out and home again. AUCTION SALE.â€"â€"Mr. W. H.

MASONIC Cowmanâ€"A grand Ma- sonic concert wus given, according to announcement, in lngrniu’s hall on Thursday evening, and those who can appreciate good singing say that it was one of the best entertainments of the kind they ever attended in this village. The hall was crowded, and the receipts, which are not yet exactly known, must have amounted to nearly $100. The stage was nicely decorated, the best of order was maintained, and the concert. was in every sense a decided success. Mr. Hugh McDougztll, W. M., oflicintcd IL" cliulrmau. American Refugees in Canada. "' l’icn." of the Toronto News, says : -â€"A correspondent from old Uncle Sam‘s farm wants to know if American refu- gees in Canada are received into good society. They are, dear boy, they are; tcol society and genteel rascality are not incompatible in this country. Au- dacious assurance, backed by stolen gold, will get a man most anywhere in this country except in jail. If a man is cultivated, and his wife dresses wall, society ain't going to read its nether garments over the darkened source at wealth. A fraudulent bankrupt or a crime-steeped bank cashier is just as good as anybody else, if he has hung onto the handle. Eno is swelling around Quebec with his wife decked out in rill” and sutlns and diamonds, and even the company of the lieutenant-governor is not. too good for him.

One lady had her teeth broken by the shock and another received se- vere injuries about the limbs. The other accident occurred 0n Madison avenue, the chief slide, over half a mile in length. A sleigh carrying about twenty persons, running at a terrific rate of speed, lost its steering apparatus, and, swerving out of the street, carried away bodily a sto=lp from one of the residences, on which was standing an old man watching the sport. Two of the crew of the sleigh were severely hurt. The old man escaped without serious injury. The bobslciglt races for the local pennant will be held on three nights of neat week on Madison avenue.

A Startling Visitation. A MOCKER OF DIVINE THINGS PROMPT- LY I'UNISIIED. N nw YORK, Feb. 8:â€"A special front Harrisburg, Pa, says :-â€"Ou Thursday : morning there was a jovial crowd in on hotel at Millersburgh,- Dhu‘pliin county, and, while they were imbibing, Samuel Mccter, a patent medicine peddler, en- tered. A discussion followed on religi- ous subjects, and Mecter dared the men to indulge in an imitation of the Lord’s Supper. They agreed to have it with beer and bread, and accordingly :1" glass was filled with that; beverage. They then knelt in mock humility, and with the beer in'ono hand and the bread in the other Meeter went. along distribu- linga bite and sup to each. Suddenly, when he was about half through, a strange noise was heard, and, looking up, the men saw a sight that. made their blood run cold, and froze the mar- row in their bones. As near as the men could describe it. they declare that it was an immense ill-formed and foul beast, with great cloven feet, painted horns and eyes that flashed tire. With wild yells the men rushed out into the open air and scattered in every direc- tion. Finally all of them reached their homes except Mccter, who was away for a long time and at last. arrived, a maniac. He was put. to bed and physi- cians summoned, but. they could do nothing for him. He raved, howled and prayed, and declared that, he had seen the evil one and that he was lost. Ilis torture was terrible, but nothing could be done to relieve him and he died in the wildest agony. -0 Enveloped in Flames. SIX MEN SIIOCKINGLY HURNED IN A SIIASTY IN ST. LOUIS. ST. LOUIS, Feb. ("ILâ€"At 10 o'clock last evening a burst of flames, envelop- ing a shanty near the railway tracks east of St. Louis, was discovered. No one was near the place, but the glare of light attracted the attention of all the railroad men that happened to be out. They ran toward the plncc,und as they did so they heard the most piercing shrinks, groans, and cries, telling that human beings were held there in a fiery cage, unable to escape. There was a rushed to the door. It was forced in, when two men staggered out, their arms and their clothes ablaze. Other men were dragged out unconscious.

The Peterborough Ravine says:â€" On Sunday afternoon at about three o'clock the Salvation Army were out on the usual parade. While moving down Slmcoe street a young man named Wall, tempted to pass. In doingso he skirted along quite close to the edge of the pro~ cesston. the horse inlso close quarfcrs, and while it. was passing him he. gave it n crac on the head with his jiugliug tambour- ine. The horse jumped to one side, but not before Wall had retaliated by giving Webb a cut with the whip. The Army then turned on “'all and vigor- ously belaboured him with flags, drum~ sticks and other implements of war, while Wall stood up and plied the whip with great energy. cutting and slashing right and left among those who came within range. retired in good order. and Wall drove down street as far as the corner. There he turned round, and, as if to invitc' another attack, drove past the army This time, however, he was 0-. A Remarkable Pigeon. The Hampshire (Eng ) Inch-lawful! ofJunuury 9th says :â€"-Mr. .las. l‘llcy, the secretary of the Isle of Wight I'oul- try and Pigeon Association, has just received a letter from Milbourue, staâ€" ting that a pigeon was brought into the town by tho captain of a ship. who picked it up in an cxliau<ted condition some distance from the Coast. it having hovered round the vessel for three days. From the description ol the stamp on the wings, the writer knew that it. he- longed to the Isle of Wight Association, and Mr. Eloy was able to idcutify it as belonging to Mr. Butt, of High-street, Hyde. The bird had also a tape tied under its wing, showing that it hui previously been picked up by another vessel, and liberated 700 Inilc~ lvom the West Coast of Africa. It appears that the pigeon, with others, was taken over lto Clierbouvg, and then liberated, so tllatit might compete in the Crystal Palace show. \th the poor bird went. l l d such a distance out. of its course is of course a mystery. Mr. Eloy hopes to have the bird home in time for the. show, to be held at the end of the mouth. o-.â€"â€"-â€"â€"‘-_- Injured by a Cow. ' The Hastings Shir sayszâ€"An As- pltodel farmer had rather an exciting time one day last. week. He was dri- ving ncow int'o t'mvu for Mr. Black, the butcher, and when n’bim't a.” mile from the village the animal became un» manageable.
