The International Pacific Railway Company 
intend applying to Parliament at its next ses¬ 
sion for an act of incorporation. Branching 
from the Grand Trunk, the proposed railway is 
to run to San It Ste Marie, where it crosses the 
river and passes through American territory, 
coming into Canadian soil strain at Pembina, 
whence it is to run by way of Fort Garry to the 
Pacific. 
The Dominion Parliament has been further 
prorogued to the first of February, not then to 
moot for t he dispatch of business. 
The Intercolonial Railway from Sack ville, New 
Brunswick, to Amherst, Nova Scotia, connect¬ 
ing the latter place with St. John, N. It* by rail, 
was opened for traffic on the 30th nit. 
The Manitoba of December 22contains a para¬ 
graph saying that letters received there an¬ 
nounce the death of Riel, who is supposed to 
have been poisoned. The rumor is given for 
what it is worth. 
A family of throe persons were so badly pois¬ 
oned recently, near Ottervllle, that they were 
with difficulty saved from death. The poisoning 
resulted from eating blackberry preserves which 
had been kept in an ear then ware Jar, the glazed 
lining of which had decomposed and poisoned 
the preserves. Housewives should understand 
that lead is used in preparing the glazing, which 
renders it vory poisonous and unsafe for many 
uses. 
Upon the subject of annexation to the United 
States the Globe holds the following opinions: 
“The patriotic feelings and the interests of the 
people of Canada are all opposed to the annexa- 
tion, niul no power now in existence can drive 
them to It. The Americans will find this out in 
time, and In the meantime President and prin¬ 
ters may tie Allowed full swing in the promulga¬ 
tion of the illusion, so dear to their self-love, 
that all the people of North America are dying 
ol' ndmiration of their private virtues and the 
purity of their Government.

Slieli a season us the present one. The entire trade 
are disgusted with the position of the market for all 
goods. There is n vorv light outlet and a full stock 
pressed on sale and difficult to find buyers at any 
price. The shipping demand lias not Improved a 
whit, arid there 1* scarcely a consignment made 
abroad. We understand one purcel of old is being 
shipped to lOuropoOh owner * account, as an experi¬ 
ment. The brewers are very careful In their pur¬ 
chases, taking the choice grades of State as a rule, 
and. this description being in comparatively small 
stock, fair price* are obtained. A small lot of the 
California consignment lias bceo sold at 22 wc., which 
was an extraordinary price, m face of the posit ion of 
the general market, but is attributed to the fact that 
it woe an exceedingly choice lot, and tio other growth
