OUR MAILS. y It is a thousand pities that year? ago, when tbe Labouchere was still afloat, and the Forwbod available! and did us good service in lowering rates of freight and passage, it is ���������apity, I say, that arrangements were not made for the conveyance of mails. Thousands of dollars for foreign aid would have been saved to the colony, or. expended here. and an increased population would have been the result' While on this subject, had government from four to six years ago, paid a .steamer to ply between Victoria and the settlements, with tbe regularity that now characterizes the Sir James Douglas, 'dozens of cheerful and thriving settlements would now dot our coasts and austere wild lands, in- ^tea4'0f-^l^������^v^s--aBd������^bree3-:t*>~&se. -now^hr; ������ird~I~iqjpt'ml trfevf ^iciTfo'.^^I-Tntiau'' ttntttn^'������������������<'~ count up. It is a farce and fallacy to talk of protection to farmers in the same breath as duties on articles of foreign produce. What protection does a farmer waut with tho necessaries of life at the prices they have all along fetched here ? Good bacon at this moment is 37k cents per lb. 1 It used to be 17 to 20 cents ; :"butter is constant at G2������ to 75 ���������cents f and pork stands first in the list for price of meats, beef being cheapest. On poultry, if the keeping of them be .made a business, 200 to 300 per cent can be realized. him. ��������� But the case is very different with regard to the Postmaster's late assistant, and the Treasurer, Mr. Watson. 'To-assert that either of these gentlemen have a claim for compensation for being no longer in government employ, is . to utter nonsense. They were both fortunate .in so long holding appointments, though certainly with credit to themselves ; biit when discharged or superseded, as hundreds are every day in private employ, I should like to know whence arises the right to compensation. Had their services been gratuitous, and had resulted in loss of any kind to themselves, a pecuniary or other compensation might luive been admissible. But simply that their occupation audits attendant pay has lapsed, however *it may call for the sympathy of private friends, is in my opinion, no case for public compensation or feeling. -fifi fififi fifi.

It appears that Governor Seymour has : not pleased a great many by his precious y message on the education question ; the.ma- . sjority of'his opposers seem to have# fastened ; on the opinion that he is strongly opposed to % the education of the masses. But first of all , let us fall back on our definitions. In using : the term education, most of those in whose v mouths it is most common, do not, I fear, y-iise it in . the enlarged acceptance of the fififijfefoa.fi In their minds, the idea is limited to '���������^secular; Instruction: Ail the grander'-and fiAfimpre responsible and fuller meaning conveyed ' .by the word, is not intended by them. They .���������simplymean instruction as regards learning ; by means of book or voice, something which shall convey intellectual information. But moral training, good conduct and manners seem never to have entered their list of requirements.. Non-sectarian teaching with them means non-religious. There can be no common neutral ground of mere Bible teaching and Christian morality on which the Baptist could meet, the Wesley an, and the latter the Church of England man. There is no: quiet, " no man's iand,V in which the Protestant can peaceably converse with the Romanist, holding a mutual Christian belief. No, the firebrand of altercation aud religious -animosity would at'once, be kindled, doctrinal points must be instilled, as if with the sole object of carrying out' the prophetic ���������words of the author of our religion, " think not that I am come to send peace on the earth ; I came not; to send peace, but a sword." It is wished by some that the minds of youth shall be left innocent of any religious training at all, until they shall voluntarily take up a full-grown system of their own : for which they will no doubt be thoroughly competent, for though utterly ignorant of the merit3 of the various systems, they will be so entirely without bias ! Specious, very, "but these theorists forget that the youthful mind is very much like the ground ;if not occupied by wholesome plants, it fills spontaneously with noxious weeds; OFFICIALS. ' fi '���������.- ' - Great dissatisfaction prevails at losing two popular officials. I allude to the Treasurer and the Chief Justice. The former is nodoubt a man thoroughly well adapted for his responsible post j. and the latter, one of the few who has given thorough satisfaction in the discharge of his onerous duties. I think that the Chief Justice, though . strictly speaking not sent away, but superseded, very contrary to all anticipations, is indeed an ill used man. When he came out hereto -nil the post of judge, he had not the remotest idea that the engagement would be but for a .year or two. The legislature, though not the same legislature that brought him out and voted his salary, the legislature, which in this case would'be the Executive,, should make jt their business to. award compensation in tne case of a Judge brought out by the popular will, being superseded through no fault or ins own, but owing to political changes Drought about by members of the very As- ^mbly.that were instrumental in sending for) JAMAICA OUTBREAK. ' Staff surgeon Morris, of Jamaica notoriety, has been tried by court martial, in Jamaica, for shooting, or being accessory to the shooting of a man. By the evidence called for the defence, the case was put in a very doubtful light. But the sentence will not be known till it emanates from the War Office, after receipt of the report of the court martial. fififi A HONDURAS. The Indians of the south-western portion o Yucatan, commonly called the Chichiwha Indians, have been laying claim to all the north west portion of Honduras (British), as far south as the Belize River and have been demanding payment for mahogany cut there. As a party of workmen failed or refused.last year to comply with the demand, they were, with all the women and children, numbering 70 persons in all, at once carried off; one man was killed in the scrimmage. Camel, the chief, demanded $12-000 ramson, and obtained $3,000ywhich was paid by government An English force of soldiers and volunteers set out for the Indian village, San Pedro. When out seven days, the Indians suddenly appeared, and though unintentionally on our pare, firing commenced, and Lieut. Ferguson at once fell. The major in command, thinking himself surrounded, at once ordered a retreat, which soon broke into a disgraceful flight ; a river soon covered the troops from the enemy. But the same night, the major continued his flight without his men, leaving ammunition, rockets and doctor's stuff. The editor of the Colonist (not DeCosmos or Higgins) was with the expedition, and being lame, has not since been heard of. The beauty of the matter is, that the Indians were to the full as frightened as the colonists, for they at once fled in the opposite direction ; but only numbered 30 meu to our 140, so it was more excusable. 300 men have since started to give them a lesson. FENIANISM. Sixty-nine Fenians were captured on board of two steamers from England for Dublin, the Alexandra and the St. Columbia. At the sight of the constables on the wharf with drawn cutlasses, they had thrown most of their revolvers, &c, overboard. It is intended to drag the river (LifFey) to recover them. The. cavalry force will, be kept up to seven regiments. Total number of troops about 20,000. PAPAL STATES. Outside of Rome, and within the Papal territories, the state of things is fast becoming intolerable. The brigands, when crossing the frontier (to Italy) were driven back by the Italian troops, and the unfortunate inhabitants'were not sure of a dayV tenure of their lives or properties. There was an encounter between fifty brigands and six gendarmes and six soldiers'. When three of the latter had been killed, the nine others, overwhelmed by numbers, surrendered. With fiendish atrocity tbe captors at once tied them to trees, and deliberately quartered them alive ! save one whom they allowed to go free, to spread the news. One soldier, young and unused to the sight of blood, at the sight of his mangled comrades, went into convulsions, and died before being .himself dismembered. Such is a part of Italy now. Adios.

MAIL SUMMARY. Although most of.: the news -contained in our Eastern exchanges has already been anticipated by telegraph, still a recital of the de- - tails ou some'of the topics -may not prove unr y^ilSrj&nT^ absorbing question which excites comment and discussion; both in and out of Parliament :at this moment, appears to be the Reform Bill, The course which the government is fifi% pjirsuing in tli is' matter seems to have produced grcat: discontent through all'the large] towns and cities, in:-England.

Iii the House of Common's, the.Chancellor of the Exchequer (Disraeli) in the course of a speech of three hours': duration, proposed a 'fi: series -of 13 resolutions'; in .which he proposed ��������� Ifi to confer four hew franchises, applicable to boroughs and ' counties, an education franchise, a. ������30 savings bank: franchise, the pos- : session-of.funded;.property:to the amount of ���������:������50,'and the payment-of seventy shillings a ;: year of direct taxes.": It.: was contended ��������� that these. various'���������;franchises; .won]d-. add 80,000 votes',to;Jthe-;borpugh^and; 124,000 to. the ' county constituencies; It was proposed also .to; reduce thp;borough franchise to a ������6 rating, and ������20 for counties/which would add 130,000 voters to the foririer^and 80,500 to the latter constituencies^ making in all 400,- 000 new voters.:1 It'was ."also: intended to dis- Lieutenant Brand, of Jamaica notoriety, whose insulting letter to Mr. C. Buxton, caused his recall and disgrace, has apologised to that gentleman in a most satisfactory manner. A terrible calamity had occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle railway hear Penrith. A wagon which contained 5 tons of gunpowder was thrown across the line, and while it was still there, another luggage train coming up, ran into it and the powder exploded.rThe driver and stoker of the second train were killed :and immense damage was done to the property which was being conveyed. The Easternque6tion.will.be solved, not by the Western Powers, but by. Turkey,, who will emancipate, the Christians, re-establish a good understanding with the Mussulmans and convoke a national assembly. Although the well known case Yelverton ��������� vs. Yelverton stands first in order of the cases set down for hearing in the House pf - Lords, it is understood the case will not come ou at: present. ;"���������-: Intelligence lately received in St. Petersburg states that the works of the .Russo-American Telegraph are being actively carried on ; it is expected that the line will be open by 1870. In the Chinese section of the'Paris Exposition there is to bo a restaurant kept by two women from the Celestial empire. . The emancipation of the Russian serfs is still far from being completed; according to an -official return just published there were at the beginning of the present year no fewer than 3,965,410 peasants still undter obligation. The answer of ^Fe^l^Certo'We"SeT^ah deifiand for 'Cession of the fortress of Belgrade, is of a most conciliatory, character, and affords every hope of a satisfactory solution to this long vexed question.

By so doing the corners will be less liable to crack off. , The same process will work well with all edge tools. These directions have been gathered from various sources';- mostly from writers in the Scientific American, at different times. Only such have been given above as all appear to agree in. Should the careful experience of any of our readers disprove anything of tho,above, or suggest anything new, we should be happy to report the same. Good, well proportioned and well tempered picks, in mining operations, is a most important consideration ; and their " sharpening" should never be trusted to unskilful hands.���������M. & S. Press..

Its events were fifi confined to the -15 miles, of road between the , squalid village of Cahirciveen and the town or Killarney, iu the county of Kerry. Cahiv- tfiveen is on the coast at the head of Valenlia Harbor. On a certain night, a party of Fenians of unknown number, but said to be well armed, advanced along the road from C'lhireaveen.to Killo'rglin. They were met at .

TEMPERING MINING PICKS. There is probably.no service to which steel can be put, which-so effectually tests its value as in mining picks. The tempering of a pick is a very nice piece of work, and should be done with great care. In the first place, a good -charcoal fire is necessary, next good steel, then a good light hammer, with a smooth-faced anvit, and lastly a man is needed with a good keen eye, considerable experience aad excellent judgment. No good pick can be turned out if auy of the above essentials are wanted in the process. A pick should never be " upset," nor hammered endwise, nor raised above a full red heat. The steel should moreover be heated as quickly as possible, as long exposure to heat���������even if that heat is not in excess���������injures its texture. . Many blacksmiths find great difficulty in tempering picks, because they do not choose good steel. After being heated, the pick must be worked with care, special pains being taken, in drawing it out, to hammer on all sides alike���������in one place as much as another. "..* When ready for hardening, it should be heated in the blaze of a charcoal (ire until red hot, and then plunged into cold rain water, and kept thereuntil it is nearly cold ; but if kept too long in the water, or until it is quite cold, the corners are liable to fly off. Some blacksmiths use saltwater. No salts, of any kind, should exist in the water ; but the water should he cold ; if the water be warm, if a-little ice should be. thrown in to cool it, the tempering will be all the better. Pure soft water for hardening will make a tough pick, and one less liable to crack at tbe edges, than where salt water is used. NOTICE.

General as is the use ol Coffee, it is little known that in condensing the vapors extracted from the berry in roasting, a liquor is obtained of the most nauseous taste, and ol* a scent the mostunbearable. Under such circumstances it is evidently - important, that all the gases and fluids extracted by roasting should be carried off as quickly as possible, in order"to prevent their returning again to the Coffee, which is the case in the confined cylinder.? This object is admirably accomplished by the new and patentl'Conical Coflce Roaster" as used by FELL & CO., Victoria, in which the berry is directly exposed to the radiated heat, and the vapor extracted carried off instantaneously. In addition to the advantage to bo derived by the rapid removal of the steam containing the objectionable properties, the pure aroma of the Coffee is retained, the essential oil being preserved and not exhausted as in the Cylinder Roaster, where the Coffee is required to remain a much longer time in consequence of the steaming it undergoes by the confined steam. It is chemically impossible to retain the qualities or arrest tho deterioration of Coffee when ground. The heat engendered by the pro* cess of roasting, and especially of grinding, creates an action in the elementary parts which gradually destroys its fitness fur drink. Rut to retain tho essential oil which it contains \ve have it encased in tins containing from 1 lb. to28 lbs., and which can be had from any ol the respectable dealers.

Along the line of wagon road between Yale and Cariboo a large quantity of grain is being put in by the farmers this spring, owing no doubt to the very remunerative prices obtained for feed during the past winter, as well. as the facilities now afforded the farmers by the establishment of,grist mills at convenient points wi thin the colony. Above Yale the first Ranch of any importance is. that owned by Messrs. Boothroyd Bros., on which some 30 acres of Oats and Timothy Hay will be raised; the soil and climate being unsultod for the cultivation of any of the other cereals with advantage. At Lytton, in addition to the cultivation of the usual quantity of Barley, Oats and Root crops, we were' pleased to learn that Sir. Sayward intends to try the Peanut, a.plant that thrives well in California, where it is in great demand ; the soil around "Lytton is supposed to be favorably adapted for its growth. At Oregon Jack's Ranch, owned by Mr. Darling, over one hundred acres will be put under crop this season, consisting of Barley, Oats and Wheat. Pump- Inns, .Water Melons, Indian corn, &c, have been:successfully raised ou this Ranch, the cliniate being very favorable lor their cultivation,lowingtb the total absenoo of frost during two or three of the summer months. Messrs. Cornwall, at Ashcroft, will sow about 75. acres inOats, Barley and Wheat, They are now retailing Barley at Sets. s$. lb.

At Lake La Hache, Mr. Anderson will sow with Oats and Barley, about 40 acres, Mr. Murphy, at. the 141-Mile Post, intends putting in from sixty to seventy acres, in Oats, Barley and Wheat. Mr.Toomey, of the 150-Mile Post,. will raise 60 acres of grain, of which 50 acres will consist of Oats and the balance in barley. Mr. Moffat, at Soda Creek, will sow 40 acre's of wheat. On the river .trail and around Williams Lake, a large area will be devoted to the cultivation of Wheat this season, in consequence of tlie inducement held -out by the erection, of Mr. Adams' Flour Mill at Soda Creek. .

The business of stock raising is now attracting the attention of farmers throughout the country. The superior advantages which the extensive valleys and plains of British Columbia hold out for the establishment of cattle and sheep runs, are at. last inducing many to embark in this enterprise, and if a little precaution is only exercised in growing sufficient fo������d to provide against the contingencies of the winter months, the enterprise will undoubtedly be crowned with success. Ah instance of the absence of such a provision is to be found in the case of Messrs. Cornwall, of Ashcroft, wha lost 19 head of stock last winter through sheer,-,starvation, occasioned by the freezing and crusting of the snow, which enveloped the whole; of the -whole of the Bonaparte valley to a depth of two. feet, for several weeks. Fprtunately,rby: dint. of good luck, they were able to save 290 head of cattle* and 60 bows. A-fifi fifi fi.''[fififi. That p ortion of the country lying between the lOO mile .post and Williams Lake, on the line of the wagon road, seems to be better adapted for .stock raising, than for farming ; and this is the light in which' thesetttere appear to view it, for every ranch: has its quota of stock.

The proprietors of the Australian Ranch, above Fort Alexander, raised an excellent crop of Wheat on a piece of low river bottom last season, their success >has induced them to enlarge the extent of the area this season; no difficulty is experienced in clearing the land, the ohlyyappliance necessary for this purpose is the pruning hook, by means of which huo-; dredaof acres, now covered with cottonwood saplings, might in a short time be made to' yield: a boUnteous harvest o f golden grain.

Title | The Cariboo Sentinel |
Publisher | Barkerville, B.C. : George Wallace |
Date Issued | 1867-05-09 |
Description | The Cariboo Sentinel was published in Barkerville, in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia, and ran from June 1865 to October 1875. At the time, Barkerville was home to a fast-growing community of miners who had been attracted to the Cariboo region by the discovery of gold. The Sentinel was published by George Wallace, and its stated objective was not only to disseminate mining intelligence, but also to eradicate official abuse[s] of power, both within the Cariboo region and beyond (vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2). |
