ThoTlgli the recent rebellion in the North-West has been suppressed, and peace restored, yet the danger of » repitition of similar trouble, is not re- moved, ncr is the safety of white settlers iu sparcely settled portions of the territories by any means assured. There will always be danger of trouble between Indians and the white settlers so long as they- are brought iti to contact with the inevitable result of bad blood and hostile feeling which may at any time precipitate an Indian war. The Government should lake warning and prevent the possibil- ity of such an occurrence by collecting all the Indians in the North-West into oue large reservation amply sufficient for their needs, and forbidding them lo leave it. The mounted police force, CYtu tbougli increased to oue thousand men, will be altogether inadequate to the task of watching the Indians, dis- persed as they are on small reserva- tions scattered through a.n immense extent of territory, whereas if .tliey were massed iu one locality ai-^cordon of iiolice stretched arcund it coul3' Be a comparatively easy matter. There IS the gratest danger to white settlers of the Northwest in leaving the Indians as they va-e at present, with arms in their hands, living in the immediate i]oif.^hLorhood of the whites, and liable at any time to be tempted by hunger to raid cattle or plunder isolated farm- Louses. The sooner we follow the sensible example of the United States and concentrate the Indians in a locality remote from the course of settlement, the better. It may prevent a great catastrophe, and would, all events, be certain to give a sense of security from Indian outrages which would do much to hasten the advance of civilization in those regions. !f)Js "jao -!; f'iCi t -xr.hi-j^ ux air uhi i'istimi â- ziAi fiidiaO CENTRE GREY FARMERS IN- STITUTE. In accordance with notice, a meeting was held in Markdale on Tuesday last to organize a Farmers' Institute for the Centre Riding of Grey. Tlios. Gihay, Esq., Reeve of Euphrapia. who was appointed by the County Council to organize an Institute in this Electoral Division, took the chair and briefly stated the objects of the meeting.

CONFLAGAUATION IN TORONTO: On Monday morning about: half past twelve o'clock a fire broke out in the gluecose factory at the foot of Berkeley St. and swept along the water edge burning vessels, steamers, boat houses, factories and everything out of a breast for over half a mile. This was perhaps the most inflamable portion of the city, being nearly all old wooden buildiugs. The wind was high and the vast array of.fird ex- tinguishing appliances had lititle or no effect in staj^g the devouring element, the rain came in good time however, and by daylight the fir© was under control. The lossis estimated a.t oyer $700,000. RIELS VERDICT..

Tbe l§th of September UTamed as the Day of Execution. Eegina, Aug l.^The jury in the Kiel trial were out about thirty minu- tes. They returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Kichardson. when he began his charge to the jury, confined him- self chiefly to reading extracts from the evidence. He then reviewed the law upon which the court was estab- lished and the trial conducted. The charge was concluded at. 2:15, and the jury retired. The oath was ad- ministered to the guard to keep the jury without meat or drink, fire or lodging. At 3.15 there was a mur- mur in the court, and it was whisper- ed that the jury had agreed. All was bustle and excitement. Eiel prayed fervently, kneeling in his box, and looked unmoved as the jury entered with a verdict of guilty; Francis Cosgreve, the foreman, while crying like a child, announced that he was asked by his fellow^urors to recom- mend the prisoner to the mercy of the crown, and the judge said the re- commendation would be considered. In answer to the question if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed on him, Eiel addressed the court over an hour and said the verdict of guilty was a great advau tage because it showed him to.be not insane. Be had a mission to fulfil and so long as he v;as looked upon a.S in- sane he could not do it. Now he would begin to succeed. One of his difficulties was beginning to disap- pear. He thanked the jury for the recommendation of mercy. It \v ould be easy for him now to make an in- cendiary speech against the selection of the jury and the legality of the court, but he^must take advantage of the situation to show himself respon- sible. He had a call from God to do something for the Northwest. His suffering would proye him to be a a prophet. He himself had suffered seventeen years, Eiel fifteen, and he had two more years to suffer. The Saskatchewan troubles were only the continuation of the troubles of sixty- nine. Tti^ Dominion governmeat had sent delegates to treat with the rebels of sixty-nine and it was reasonable to expect that they would dc the same in the Saskatciiewan, and grant the rights of the half breeds now as then. He explained the plan of how he was going to invite the Irish, Jermans, Jews, Bavarians, Poles, Scandina- vians, Italians, Belgians, Norwegians and Swedes to cpme and assist him, and give each a share in the North- west and British Columbia. The con- dition of the Jews was they must ack- nowledge Jesas Christ as the Savior of the world. Gabriel Dumout and the Fenians were now active in his behalf in the States and their assis tance was the last resort. He com- plained that Archbishop Tache and the ministers of the crown had broken the promise of an itopattial amn«!Sty in 1869. Dubuc had given li im the name David as a souvenir in 1871. Archbishop Tache came and said his lower Canadian friends wanted him to leave the country because he would embarrass thepi during the election. He and Lepine got £400 from Arch- bishop Tache to go. He agreed only becanse his benefactor, Ati^h bishop Tache, asked him to, ' After Sir Geo. Cartiei: was defeated m Quebec, iciel was asked to ^ve up Protenc^er for him.

He complained that the judge had charged all against him, but felt enture confidence that he would yet be spared to fulfil his mis- sion. The voice told him that, Judga Eichardson, before passing sentence, referred to the enormity of the prison- er's crime, and said he could hold out no hope whatever, but to prepare for the end. When the jury returned to court, Eiel contmued praying fervent- ly until the verdict was given. He then rose without the slightes agita- tion apparent. Thi« demeanor he maintained till the end, and a smile spread over his face as the judge pro- nounced sentence. The 18th day of September was fixed as the day of execution. Ic is not yet settled how the other half breed prisoners will be charged. It will probably be treason -felony, in order to obviate the necessity of serv- ing an indictment ten days beforo trial. A majority of the prisoners will be charged with murder, although some may be indicted for treason- felony or levying war. The latter charge is not necessarily capital. FBOM OTTAWA. Ottawa, Aug, 2. â€" The French Canadian population here are greatly agitated over the news of Eiels con- viction and sentence- The general complaint is that the trial was un- fairly conducted, and that evidence was suppressed by the Government, Petitions to the governor-general ask- ing for a commutation of the sentence will at once be prepared. The trial of Indians and halfbreeds who have been arrested on the same charge as Eiel is now going on, twenty- two of tl.e twenty-six have already plead guilty. Chief Wandering Spirit, who was captured a few days ago, stabbed himself and is reported dying. APPOBTIONMENTS. Artemeeia. Bentinck. Egremont.

One evening recently while wending our way down Mill Street towards Markdale station to meet the evening train, we halted where halt a dozen or more were sitting in front of Askin's establishment, and enquired of an ac quain tance if he would go for a walk to the station. He pulled out his watp^, at the same time asking, what time is it? â€" 8 minutes after 9. I looked at mine, which I knew was Toronto time, and iund it precisely the same, when suddenly all the watches in the crowd were haqled out and not half a minute difference m the lot. This is something remarkable says I when one of the crowd gave as a reason for the number of close timers, that they had been purchased from W. A. Brown, the reUable Mark- dale Jeweller. That accounts for it. Tbavblleb. ••i*- KNOWN BY THESE SIGNS. Dyspepsia may he known by Heart- burn, Sou-r Eructions of food. Wind Belching, Weight at the Stomach, Variable appetite.
