The revenue, including license fees, accrued from spirits ifi 1857-88, was 43,099,016. The report states that the consnmp- •tion of excised tobacco has enn'i'lerably increased, notwithstanding *' ;+ wide difference between the duty levied in Canada and that levied by the Inland Revenue Department' of the United States, the former being 20 e,x,,rs and the Iatter 8 cents per pound. The duty realized from domestic cigars has also ben augmented, as will be seen by the next succeeding statement. The De- :partment sees in this fact a satisfactory .evidence that the system of stamping now carried out in respect of tobacco, .cigarettes and cigars, is a sufficient :safeguard against smuggling and il- Aicit manufacture, The excise duty .accrued from tobaccos of all kinds, including snuff, cigarettes and cigars, was as follows: Tobacco; snuff • and ;cigarettes, $1,73$,454; cigars, 8544,729; license fees,, $11;424, an increase over, the previous- year of. $102,324.. Lord Stanley and the L,sdy Stanleyhave been more than kind in giving their patronge to Ta,rbus entertainment in which citizens have ,leen, interested; and both' have manifested, a personal interest in our public institutions in a. manner so cordial and so hearty as to prove the existence of a desire far their progress and prosperity.

We notice that Jack the hunter still makes his visit as frequent as ever to the brick, cottage ou the centre road. Go in Jack you'll win, ,Tack thought he had a solid mash, but the cobbler has the inside track, and Jack takes it so bad that he has sold out and is going to leave town.

A painful accident happened to Simon *tiller one day last week.

Mr. Boyle at once fix spite of the protests of the Haytian minister, arms and ammunition have Iacen shipped from New York to the rebels against the Hayden govern trout: There dosen't seem to be much difference in principle between such at shipment as this and the launching of'. an Alabama. England paid many mil - liens to the United States government because the Alabama ayes constructed in an English doekkyard and sailed from an English port., According to the same international 4ode the United States governrnont should indemnify the Hytlan government for the dam-, :tge which may be done by these Dans Ian the hands of the rebels, But It Is safe betting that such ft claimmade by the Haytian government would 'hardly receive serious consideration, because Haytian is not dangerous.

In our last issue we congratulated Canada's "Grand Old Man"—Sir John MacDonald°.. on:the excellent state of his health on his entering upon his seventy- fifth year, with this issue we wish , His Excellency the Governor-General main happy of the day."His PPY Excellency was born on the 15th Jan., 1841, and wag therefore forty-eigh, yearn on• the 15th, inst.

At the Capital both IT is certain that the existence of a divorce court increases the number of divorces to an alarming Extent. It is not necessary to look to the United. States for proof of this. The divorce act has been in force in England for thirty years, and in that time there have been no less . than, 13,022 suits brought under it, and h, 7,295—more than half—the court has put asunder those whom the church alleged God had joined together. Worse still does it appear when the three decades of di- verse are compared with each other. In the first, 1858 to 1867, there were 2,188 applications for divorce; in the second, 1868 to 1877, there were 3,272, an increase o#about 50 per cent; in the third, 1878 to 1887; there were 4,761, an increase of about 75 per cent. THE polling for Haldimand has been fixed for January 301h.' It is not de- finitely known whether Sir John made this arrangement in order to allow Sir Richard Cartwright and Messrs. Pater- son, Mills, Charlton and the rest of the Liberal orators•to make the ' campaign iu Haldimand; without.interfering with their sessional. indemnity, or whether he :fixed that day' so that Iir..Montague a Might make triumphant entryat the g P, opening of the House at.Ottawa on the following day. It hi to be hoped that the Liberal orators will all avail them selves of : the excellent _. arrangement Sir John has made for them, and will flock to Ha1 i and andabuse Dr. Mon- tague to the very best their ability.

Mrs. A Vincent is spending a couple of weeks with her brother, Mr. Joseph Upshall, of Tuckersmith, took steps to procure his rent and em- ployed Mr. W, F. Johnston as bailiff: The bailiff then employed Dir. 5. Speare and placed him on the premises as watchman. Sawn thinks he has struck a pretty soft snap. Mr. Walkom lodg- ed his goods at Mr. Francis, his father- in-law and the bailiff' followed them, some of which he seized, but Mr. Fran- cis refused to let them go on conditions that they would carry shot with them if they took the goods. Fortunately they got the waggon and a stovewith- out a top and made tracks for Cromarty as fast as possible. We think if W.
