The paper was d and was abont haU burned !^forc. tbe discovery was made by two Mir. Strong's sonB. The infernal ^cliine was sent to Toronto and jested, and proved to be one of the isiet powerful kind. Tlie case was •jj before the Attorney-General, and jijen placed in the hands of (icvernment detectives, who hare jjjeebeeri engaged in ferreting up the jjjj. It is said that some clue has ieen found, but as yet the evidence is 501 sufficient. The matter has been tept secret up to l^st Monday evening, ften at a Scott Act meeting addressed i)T Bev. Mr. Keefer, tlie public were cade aware of the fact. The motive •jat prompted such a diabolical act ftaoi.lv be attributed to theprooiinent fjr: Mr- Strong has taken in advocat- •^!T the passing of and carrying into (tfect of "tbe Scott Act. He was the Prebident of the Association at the jmeths Act was passed and this year ;:e Vice-President, and hia services we sometime since recognized by •Jie County Alliance presenting him with K gold watch.

I- From tht ToroHtd Although Bev. Dr. Wild can be heard any Simd^ for nothing, there was a big crowd paid a doUjM- each to hear him lecture in Bond street Congregational church last night on •'The British Empure." The reverend- ioctor IS evidenUy very popojar. The chair was qccupitd by Lieuten- ant Governor Bobuason, whose ap- pea^^ce was the signal for enthasi- astic applause. The lecturer began by saying that there was an advanta£e m belongmg to a great nation. If he had been asked before his birth what he would like to he he would have said, •' want to be born m the British empire. Protestant faith, 19th century, reign ..f Victoria Dominion of Canada, province of Ontario, city of Toronto, to become the pastor of Bond street Congrega- tional church, and to preach to the audience before him." He then pro- ceeded to eulogize the British empire and everything connected with it. Under no other government were the working classes more prosperous or better wages paid. The vast streams of immigration are flowing to the "Saxon circle," the United States and Canada, where they are sure of perfect freedom. Britain is not atheistic, and the proper course was pursued when Bradlaugh was not ad- mitted to her parliament. Hers is the most tolerant and equitable of all governments, and the late Pius IX. said that in England Catholics had more liberty than in many a Catholic country. She has prospered by being a Christian country. Her power is not waning, for since 1881 she has added 2,000,000 square miles to her territories; she is opening up vast regions "of trade in South Africa; and justnow she is about to annex Burmah. The lecturer here called on the choir to sing "Bule Brittannia," which, was enthusiastically received, after whicU he launched out into his favorite Anglo-Isreal theory. The teachings 01 the prophets showed that thei e was going to be a great federation com- posed of the British empire, the Jews, who will then be gathered in Palestine, and the United States. By this fed- eration Canada will be more independ- ent. She will have less danger and more security. Her expenses will be less, because she will have no senate and no governor-general sent her from England. Ireland, England and Scotland will each haye local parlia- ments. Federation is oure to come, though it will be years before the con- summation takes place, and when it comes all custom houses will be swept away. The chief factors of a nation's growth and future prosperity are land â€"of which Britain has 10,000,000 square miles â€" climate and mineral resources. A chief factor was good government, and Britain has a crown- ed democracy, which is vastly better than a republican form of government because it does not cost the millions spent on election of a ruler every few years. In speaking on this point the leeturergave figures whieh, he claimed, proved that the support of the Queeu, the Prince of Wales, and the royal family cost nothing. Religion was a factor, and Protestantism would yet rule the world. Bace was a factor, and the" Saxon race was ahead ol all H)th«rs. Language was a factor, and the English language is spreading and will yet prevail over ail ethers. Tlio ehoir rendered several patriotic songs in splendid style. John Hewitt, Bei;kefej, Jan. iB7.
