Seconds that Canada a n da Secondly, has run ttn into debt as far as is desirable in the bonusing of private enterpises. Thirdly, that any Hudson Bay port eannot have a navigation season of more than four months. Fourthly, that the embarkation of Canada upon a Hudson Bay Railway construction would be followed by an assault on her treasury for a subsidized line of steamships to "develop the trade." bur TILE last revised Dominion voters' $50 lists contain the names of 1,853,735 Cam persons eligible to vote at Federal elections.

On Tuesday last the committee of the House of Refuge met in Clinton, and among other business wade an official visit to the House with a view to satisfying themselves as to the truthfulness of the complaints as to the work. It was deemed best to have the services of two independent and unprejudiced experts to Iook over the building, and also advise with the architect on the question of the strain and strength of roof, and the services of Messrs. Rynas, of Goderich, and Hardy, of Exeter, were secured. After thorough inves- tigation they reported that a great number of the complaints were un- founded,: in a couple of instances some improvement might be made, and stated that few buildings of the size were erected with fewer faults, and that the plans and appearance of the building were first-class. To put the roof in the strongest possible state the experts and the architect devised some additional work on the trusses, which will give a power of resistance to practically four times any weight ever likely to come on it, or about ten tons to the square. With the barn and stone work .the committee were thoroughly well satisfied, the latter work being the more minutely inspected on account of the slurs cast on it. The general opinion was that Contractor Mc - Beth and his men have made one of the nicest little barns in the county. The Committee let the job of mak- ing the approach to Mr. McCuaig. Mr. A. S. Crystal has completed the steel tank at the House, and has it in its place. --Mr. Croll has nearly one coat of plaster put on.
