THE UEAl'HAKNOIS JUNCTION K. R. AX IMPORTANT Al'Xll.lARY TO THE M. * C. J. R.

The Montreal Guteite of Friday contained quite a lengthy report of tht proceedings, the main portions of which we cheerfully transfer to our columns. BJL THE WORK OF EVICTION. Evictions at Bodyke, Ireland, were further carried out last Saturday. The first house visited by the evicting foree.was that of Timothy Collins, but as it was announced that a daugh- ter of Collins lay dying inside, the work of eviction was abandoned. The evictors then proceeded to the house of Michael O'Callaghan, where they met with a terrible resistance. The bailiffs and police were deluged with scalding water and meal. Col. Tur- ner, who was in charge of the evicting party, implored Father Han nan, who wasJju attendance, tct endeavor ia persuade the people to cease resistance and thus prevent bloodshed. Father Hannaa>tfeen entered the house and the inmates ceased their attack \ on the force, which entered and carried out the work of eviction. Five women who had been extremely violent in their attacks were arrested. THE customs officers at Windsor have received orders from Ottawa to inform themselves at once as to the and cla of Ai 10 o'clock teams and workmeu were on the ground read? to commence operations as soon as the ceremony of turning the iWit sod wits j^one ihrough wiih. Judge Foster, on behalf ot the Montreal &, Chatnplain Junction K. R, presented each of twenty-four gentlemen with H new spade and intimated that Mr. Gebbie, of Ho wick j Col. MeEuehrsuy of Oimstowu ; Dr.,Gi!lis, of Fort Covin£toii, and Col. Brosaeau of Liprairie % would turn the Hrst sod. At the same time s.iying they h^td met there as a company to show thai they were iu earnest in carrying out rk**ir promise* of giving a raii way to that por- tion of tne district of Beauharnois, and t carry out ih« company's part of Hie ag.ee- ineni with fhe people of Valieyfieid and Beauharnois, niaue at Beauliarnnis cu th< 91 h December-iast. It was very gratifying tu him to t-ee so many ot trie principal men of the district there, prepared to tultii I heir part of the agreement. They lni^ht rest ussurod th-tt ihe mutual keeping faiih would ensure lo th- people of lie an- ha r no is and Valleyheld a 'railway durin^. ihe'coming summer. He was va-v-y proud u assure ttem that both the Governments t Quebec and, Ottawa, recognizing tli ai{>y»tH4»ce of the enterprise to Hie peopfe of ih<U district, and the* solemnity of the engagement entered into between the promoters of tbe M'Hitreal & Chumplaiu Junction railway and the people of bteau- haruois smd Vitileyfield, hud given material aid and encouragement to the enterprise; and it now only remained for*the company d people to keep faith with each other on the basis of that meeting to ensure the earlv completion of the road. The veuerttbie^ pioneer of the District of Beauharnois, Thomas Gebbie, Sr., of H-jwick, was th* next speaker. He said M Foster h d been educating the people of the district to beleve thai lo Joseph Hickson was due the railway facilities which had been, so far, given to them; but he begged to suggest that if Joseph Hickson was the father iu a .rail- way sense, that he had two good sons in S. W. Foster and Mr. Wainwright, three gentlemen whom tbe neopi# were under obligations to for the benefits they* now Mijpyed. lie was bound also to say that h« people of the disttict of Beauharuois could never repay them for the benefits hey enjoyed. In conclusion, he called or thre«* cheers for Joseph Hickson, Samuei W. Foster and William Waimvrigbt. •The following gentlemen tbm» made enthusiastic, speeches : Col. McEachran,' Dr. (jiliis. Peter Gardiner. Esq., of Dundee, Mr. Branckaud. Mr. Robidoux. M. P. P.. Mr. Hisson, M. P. P., and Col. Brosse^u. Akspoke iu gratitude jto Mr.. Hickson fo. his work iu giving the Beauharnois district a railway, and all bore testimony to the great services which the Montreal & lhamplaiu Junction railway had rendered the people, the applause from the con- course of people assembled bearing testi- mony to their desire to develop the busi- ness of the district to support these rail- ay.s. Particularly Dr. Gill is, of Fort Coviugton, who suid bis friends in North- ern Ne* York were indebted .to Mr. friends, Hickson, Foster and Wainwright, for their railway facilities, a>;d they were ail in sympathy with Joseph 'ieksoTvand the great system he eon4rolgr At tile conclusion of ihese speeches, Judge Fostereuid the ground would now be broken and be hoped that the work ef construction would be continued until the Hie reached Valleyfield} that the engineer of the company had thai day informed him the survey of the entire line h»d been completed, and tnat tbe maps and plans would be ready in a few dfiyg. The woik of construction would then be pushed on under the direction of James Wright, Esq., contractor. The report conclades by saying that be- fore the assembly dispersed, teams and men were set to work, and grading and moving\of buildings from the line had commenced in earnest, With the live in Detroit and daily work in \Windsor and Walkersville. This in- formation is for the use of the Cana- dian government in the enforcement of a policy of retaliation against Ameri- cans for the enforcement of the United States law against the importation of foreign labor. A SHORT time ago the War Depart- ment issued an order sanctioning there- turn of sundry flags captured from the confederates during the civil war and still h'ekras trophies. As might be expected this step caused considerable indignation in many sections of the country.

E, Ford, at three o'du*lr P* the looming of Wednesday, was born at Fort Cov- ington, in the county of Franklin, on the 6th of September, 1827. She moved to Quebec at an early age aod lived there about nine years r when her father diecf and she returned to Ft. Cov- r.gton with her motner. Her father, Allan MyHutcheon, wat a nalive of Ayr, in Bcotland, her mother, Frances Gove, being of Vermont -par- entage. Mr§. Mears was married at Fort. Cotington on June 4th, 1845. Her husband, Thoofts S. Mean, after a few years of leisure following an active and useful life, died some years since in thin village, having moved here from New Jersey to 1872* Mm MearV itioew wat of just two week*'duration. 8h« ba4 been to usual good health of late, and on t,he 24th ultimo took a long ride with her son-in- law, Mr. Ford, returning in the boat of spirits. Duriog the night of the 24th Hbe was taken violently ill. The gravity of her attack was geeo by the physi- cians from the fint, and despite the ftt faithful and coosUnt attention, leader not only in spiritual tratters but those calculated for tbe temporal ad- vancement of the cause of religion — but she will be missed, and far more deeply oiisred than the generality of people c*n know, in the homes of those upon whom fortune has frowned. There, when the gnunt finger of povcr- iy has pointed menacingly, this noble christain woman, inspired simply by a desire to do good, bag many a time come to relieve, and the good she h<is done in the years agone cannot be measured by words. / There is no h'^her duly, says an ancient reglious writer, \ than to work, for the good of the whole world,\ and this tr^tfe, as forcible to-day as in the olden time when it found expression, has been the actuating principle ot Mrs. Mears' relig- ion : to do good was her mission, and well has it been performed. It will be long before wo bhall see her like again. She lived for others; dying she is mourned by ail. Mrs. Mears leaves three children, Allan M., of Helena, St. Inwrence Co., Hnttio M'., wife of W. A. K. Tompkins^ and Hannah G.,wife E. K. Ford. In the home, as in the broader field of duty, hers was a life of devotion and usefulness, of true and earnest endeavor for the welfare of others. Her death falls heavily upon her children. But they will fiud solace^TrTthe t»ougb£_lbat she h;ig entered upon a higher and bet- ter life, and that the example of her life sheds a lusrre which time cannot efface. To live in the hearts we leave behind la not to die. THE outlook for all kinds of grain crops in Minnesota and Dakota is re- ported as above the average. Texas shows the most splendid harvest pros- pects since the great yield of 1882, ex- cept in the recently drought) stricken counties, and even there the crops will be fairly good.
