Gun Seuss Smithk s report on the mounted police of the North West is completed but has not been published. It is known however that the report is a very favourable one. A Veky Good plan for the Relief of the poor is about to be introduced by the pastor of holy Trinity cd Ucli. A collection will hereafter be taken up on the first sunday in every month amongst those who partake of the holy communion and the proceeds Are to be devoted to the Relief of the poor belonging to that Church. The grand Forks Plain dealer is informed by the sheriff that Tho complaints of the Captain and officers of Tho Minnesota were served out against that Steamer and that she is once More in the clutches of Tho Law. The object of this is our contemporary says in order to put the Steamer through a court of admiralty and Wold so that or. Kittson who is paying up the indebtedness of that Steamer can acquire a Clear title and be defended in his rights. After passing thro a court of admiralty the Steamer cannot thereafter be seized for any debt contracted prior to that time that May yet be unpaid. Gait reporter says we had the pleasure on monday last of a visit from or Kenneth Mckenzie m.p.p., of Manitoba who is at present paying a Short visit to his Many old friends in this Section of Ontario. Tho Grasshopper plague does not seem to make this gentleman any the less hopeful of the future of the Prairie As he is confident from personal experience of those who have lived a Long time in the country that Manitoba has seen the worst of the plague for some time to come. Or Mckenzie says however that the present Winter will be a hard one in Tho province and that Many of the new settlers will see some pretty Tough times before the Spring. Most of those we Are glad to say. Who emigrated from Dumfries Are better off than a Good Many others Tho Grasshoppers having spared a Good portion of their Grain. It is to be from what lie says we have no doubt of prediction in regard to the plague will prove Correct for As he readily admits another such season of destruction As was witnessed in that country last year would bring Star vation into the Homes of most of the Hardy and industrious settlers who have emigrated to Manitoba during the last two or three City Council.

Burrows in your Issue of yesterday of being the candidate of Tho Saloon and hotel keep ers is quite too thin in View of the facts. It is Well known that the liquor dealers have organized in opposition to the re election of or. Mayor Kennedy and that or. Burrows is their candidate for mayor. The Circum stance that the organization is not altogether unanimous does not destroy the fact of the existence of such organisation. This combination boasts that it can elect a candidate of its own and boldly Points to or. Burrows As such candidate. Or. Burrows will Endeavor to conceal his position for the Pur pose of catching votes. But it will not do. If the liquor dealers have not had Protection and encouragement enough under the chief magistracy of or. Kennedy Pray what do they want their attitude at this elec Tion is calculated to alarm All other inter ests and to invite Union among Good citizens for the due Protection of society. In conclusion let me say to or. Burrows that a candidature commenced in hypocrisy is almost sure to end in defeat. Zero. Winnipeg dec. 21st, 1875. To the editor of Tho Kite a kiss.
