THE " MAIL" WAILS. Some people have nit a spark •.f gis'i- tude in them. The Reformers begged the Conservatives not to runt a cindilate in opposition to the new Provincial Treasurer, and they did not plead in vain. Now they are engaged in the congenial business of traducing the ,mel who were courteous to their newly ap- pointed Cabinet Minister. —[Toronto Mail. As usual, the Mail, in the above paragraph, is lying. There was no "begging" by the Reformers that Hon. A. M. Rosa should not be opposed. THE SIGNAL,with other Reform journals, in the Province, believed it would be a graceful act if the new Provincial Treas- urer were elected by acclamation ; but the Reform journals did not fear a con- test. With 300 or 400 of a majority at Hon. Mr. Reba' back, why need his friends fer- the result ? But what did the Tories ( The Mei/ said if there were only two Conservatives in the Rid- ing one should g:. to the hustings tied nominate the other.

When the clock struck nine, it took the majority of the pedes- trians on the Square by surprise. The hired girl, who was ntakine the round. looking for her peau, put on is "open," for the hour for wending her way home- ward was nine o'clock. 'lhe young couple who had been "billing" and "cx,ing" at the garden gate, separated hurriedly—die to go into the parlor to await the arrival of her "nine o'clock" beau, and he to see his "best girl." The butcher's buy and the driver of the gro- cer's delivering van began to lay on the whip for fear the limited time at their disposal would cause them to encroach upon the Sabbath. The ratan who had been trying to gerrymander the Crook's act, replied, when questioned •by his wife, " 's all right, fit' dear ; atan and ti.ue, honey ; seven 'eon hours' n' half a minnit faster'n old time, so's to get th' bilge on th' sun. 01' Sin's bin runnin' th' shies fer morn six thouaan' veep s, an' has bin retired on superannuashun.

The hired girl, who had been accustomed to rise at daylight, was ever a quarter of an hour late in lighting 'the tire, and as a consequence, breakfast was delayed for a few minutes, although she tried hard to make up f•.r lost time. Then the milkman failed to connect. He lied been down at the pump when tine 17j minutes were blotted out by the, caretaker of the clock the night before, and didn't hear the clock strike owing to the creaking of the pump handle.

THE duty on wheat is pinching the millers so hard that they, in convention assembled, have been constrained to ap- point a comwittee to interview the Fi- nance Minister so that an abatement be had. That means cheap bread. Now who will take the iniquitous cosi tax question up. THE farmers who sell their produce on tine back streets lose from 5c. to 10c. R busheleverytime. The buyers don't walk down to meet them near the bridge for the fun of the thine. They do it so that they can make eu the deal. Any farm- er who sells his produce without ing to the market deeerves to be nipped. THE Ottawa Free Press puts in the following remark on the fuel question : "These biting cold days will remind people who have a hart struggle to make ends meet, then they have to pay 50 and 60 cents per ton extra on their coal to enable the got ernment to squander millions on worthless jobs gotten up for purposes of bribery." THE fu:}using bit of literary criticism from the Saturday Reriatt• on a recent American book, will be amusing to our readers : "It is a great pity that in this English edition the American spelling should have been retained. 'Honer is bad enough, 'humor' is worse, but 'ar- mor' and 'neighbor' are intolerable, and on no plea of derivation or pronunciation can they be allowed to be correct." THE editor of the Berlin News, we are happy to learn, is an exception to his brethren of the Tory press, for he comes out squarely on the Roe blasphemy case in the following sensible style : — We would not refuse to support even a so- called "free -thinker," if he kept his "thinking" to himself ; but when he be- comes a loud -mouthed, brazen -faced blasphemer, ae llir. Rue, of Napanee,wu recently proved to be in a public court, we should most distinctly and emphatical- ly de what we could to prevent hint from becoming our representative in any shape er manner. We pity the Christian Conservatives of Lennox if tho choice is forced upon then[ of voting for such a man or one opposed to their political principles. The seener the Censerta- tivo party gets rid of Roe, the better. Far better let the county of Lennox :co to the Grits than have the whole Con- servative party scandalized and disgraced by such an individual. THE self-righteous little town of Dan- das is seeking notoriety through its mayor and countable, who are trying to pude as Pcntius Plate and Caiaphaa respectively, by arresting and protocut- ing street preachers. On Sunday last a man named Mason (a former resident of \\•ingham; and a religious friend named Townsend, from Hamilton, were arrest- ed and lodged in the lock-up by the offi- cious constable for the heinous offence of preaching the gospel. The local Pilate offered to release the arrested men if they would promise hien that they would not preach any .nere. Tine evangelists would not barter their independence for liberty, and the mayor will likely have to come down from his high posi- tion. If there is any place itt Canada in need of street preachine, it is Dundas, if the present action of the chief mets and rulers, be taken as a pointer. in addi- tion to that fact, it is well known that the town is overrun with "toughs" and I thieves, who are:allowed to go scot-free by the constable, who now wants to Lin- der men from telling God's truth.

Spe_lal to TuL 8ttivat, KtsragbiNE, Nov. 21.—At 2:31 p.m. to -day, a glance duwu the lake, a guile to the south west, showed a wreck lying en Use water, *bete a few minutes be- fore the tug Erie Belle had been at work trying to pull •.:I the stranded schooner, Carter. An explosion had occurred in the biller room ut the tug, and she was now a helpless wreck, with her hull part- ly turned over, about 60 yards froth the shore. The lite boat was immediately maimed by Capt. 'Troy and his crew, and proceeded to pick up such of the tugs o•ew as had escaped death by the ex- elosi.,u. The captain of the tug. John T and five of nis then were thrown into the water, and three regained on the wreck unhurt. All were soon taken ashore by the lifeboat, and search was made, but fruitlessly, fur the tw . • regi• veers, one fireman and the cook. NO trace of any of them. remained. The tirst engineer, \Vm.

'Tobin, mato ; Frank Conroy and Henry Pocock, whcelwen ; Dan. Ftnlaysou, watchman ; Lewia Smith and Isaac Grenshaw, deck - hands ; \Wm. John, fireman ; and James Gardner. When the accident occurest the tug was working at her utmost power to get the Carter off that evening, if possible. She was originally the Hector, but was rebuilt in 1879, usnug the old engine and boiler, Ilia latter having been repeatedly repaired, and she was the property of Odette Wherry, of Windsor. As to the cause of the accident, it is lively that little will ever be known, the two engineers having passed into eterni• ty, and no one else having been in the engine -room for some time previous to the accident. Dan Finlaysun, the watchmen, had retired to his bunk a short time before the explosion took place. He was pick- ' ed up at a distance of over 200 feet from the ahattere1 1. u.l,aad it is supposed that he was thrown that distance by the force of the explosion. His back is severely in - 1 jured,and he now lies at the Royal hotel in a very low condition. The Erie Belle was valued at $9,00ti Literary Notices. Mt: WISES IN FAL/fa SYNTAX, by ILI. Strang, H.A., Head Master Goderich High School. It is with pleasure that we make men- tien of this handy little work. "Good goods are put up in small parcels," the old proverb nays, and Mr. 8traug's look is good and meaty, if .mall. The author has, among other things, shown great patience in his gradual collection of errors of speech; anti touch ingenuity in classifying them. Tho work is in- tended as a drill book in English. It groups in a very convenient manner un- grammatical phrases and 'ambiguous sentences, many of which aro used daily by some who lay claim t', a fair educe - tial. Nearly every form of grammati- cal blunder is represented in this inter' eating collection. About 1,400 examples are given, most of which have beta I jutted down by the author from actual utterance during the past twenty years. it is a book for teachers, but not for teachers only. Editors, public speakers, and others who wish tis avoid popular errors of speech will find in Mr. Strang's unpretentious work many useful hints. \i'e hope to see a second edition of the book, and then we would like the author to add to tts value and interest by some terse notes or comments on the various exercises. We ^.ongratnlate Mr. Strang on the very creditable delict he has' made as an author. We hope that his venture will be as sncceasful financially as it is in a literary and educational way.

Death *Emirs. Treadwell Walden. Many of our readers will remember Mrs. Treadwell,• 1%alden, who resided here a number of years ago, when her husband was curate of St,George's church. The following reference to her decease is from the Minneapolis Juurad : The wife of Rev. Treadwell Walden, rector of St. Pauls church, in this city, died last evening (Nov. 1st , a little after 9 o'clock. Mrs. Walden .had been an invalid for years, being afflicted witira lung trouble, and one of the reasons which led her hushtnd to accept the call to St. Paul's parish was tate hope that the vivifying atmosphere of Afiunes.,ta would work an improvement in her con- dition. But this hope wasdisappointed. Mrs. Walden has been confined to the house, and for the most part to her ked, et er since her arrival. For the past few weeks her physician and friends could see that she was gradually failing, and last night she passed away quietly. �S hile her family had scarcely dared hope that her life c•,ulol he hutch prolonged. the blew nevertheless fell suddenly and !at. the moment unexpectedly. Mrs. Walden was a hely of many graces of mind and person. She has borne her long liners with Christian resignation and fortitude, retaining down to the last moment all hqf native vigor of mind,and calmly awaited the end. Her death is s sad blow to her husband and family, which consists of three sons, two of them grown to mat's estate, and a charming daughter of eighteen. The funeral will occur to -morrow aftorrdon at 2:30, from the residence, 1,227 Hen- nepin avenue. The remains will be de- posited in the receiving vault at Lake- wood cemetery, and ultimately be buried in the old fa•nily burying ground, Laurel Hill, Philadelphia.
