The Squabble, From Theology, Degenerated Into Disloyalty To The Constituted Authorities, A Conspiracy Was Hatched To Overthrow The Governor's Rule And Murder Kirke.

His Reverence the Lutheran minister was supposed to be in some way accessory to the plot, which Kirke found

Means to suppress with a high hand, and His Reverence, without the slightest regard to the cut of his coat, was arrested and detained a prisoner for six months in the Jesuit's residence on the banks of the St. Charles, near Hare Point, from which he emerged, let us hope, a wiser, if not a better man. History has failed to disclose the name of the Lutheran minister.

Elsewhere [332] we have furnished a summary of the French families who remained in Quebec in 1629, after the departure of Champlain and capitulation of the place to the British. Students of Canadian history are indebted to Mr. Stanislas Drapeau, of Ottawa, for a still fuller account, which we shall take the liberty to translate.

"Over and above the English garrison of Quebec, numbering 90 men, we can make out that twenty-eight French remained. The inmates of Quebec that winter amounted to 118 persons, as follows:

1. GUILLAUME HOBOU - Marie Rollet, his wife, widow of the late Louis Hebert, Guillaume Hebert son of Louis Hebert.

2. GUILLAUME COUILLARD, son-in-law of the late Louis Hebert. - Guillemette Hebert, his wife, Louise, aged four years, Marguerite, aged three years, Louis, aged two years, their children.

3. ABRAHAM MARTIN. - Marguerite Langlois, his wife; Anne, aged twenty-five years; Marguerite, aged five years; Helene, aged two years, their children.

4. PIERRE DESPORTES. - Francois Langlois, his wife; Helene Langlois.

5. NICHOLAS PIVERT. - Marguerite Lesage, his wife; Marguerite Lesage, his little neice; Adrien du Chesne, Surgeon.
