That dreaded epidemic, cholera, is
gain exciting the gravest fears a
those who had°e watched its course and
alt its ravages in years gone by, So
Fir, the horrible contagion has been
ecrnfi;ned within a limited {sphere, but
once allowed to escape beyond certain
aaunds € ..ud to communicate with those
likely to bear its germs to other parts,
tits deadly visitation might be world-
Tdde, 1.•, Happily Caeada has been free
from the scourge for a long period, and
isnot likely ever again to suffer such
tragic consequences as followed the
BSholera visitation of 1847 al3cl 1854,
et:ansecluentiy upon the improved sys
tem of quarantine, the rapid inter-
change of communication 'with the out
s dt: World, -vlhereby communities can
be red.rnecl of the approach of the dis-
iase,'ias well as the admirable sanitary
condition of many Canadian cities.
When, some months ago, the Turkish
authorities asserted the extinction or
men-existance of cholera in, Syria,while
.`szssian consular -',agents maintained
that it was still covering about on the
birders of the Persian and Ottoman
'"i.Papires, the BRITISH MEDICAL JOUR -
RAL expressed a conviction that the
subsidence of the epidemic was merely
what might be expected at that season,
and that it would reappear with the re-
turn of spring. And so it has; cholera
'It reported now as having broken out
ear the Imperial clmnaiiis of Djedil and
En the village of Belleck, near Bagdad,
where six persons have died out of
thirteen attacked. Bagdad was the
ieadquaraers of the epidemic last year,
whence it was carried by the river
loafs far up the Tigris. The Foreign
Office received information of its occur-
_enee of far north'ias Diabekr and Er-
zesonm, tleoaigl, n the latter case it
was, more probably conveyed by road
from Tabruz, But, though it may thus
appear to have receded, such a pheno-

is conveyance, certain nieteorogical

infected water, etc., for its communica-

Ihotic in a fortnight, it marches by slow
stages through lands where railways
are still unknow ii i•etiring into winter
garters when traclic and travel are
suspended, to','reopen the campaign
with the return ofevarm weather,which
'is naturally earlier in the south and
the plains than in northern or mount-
ainous regions. In the winter of 1846-
47 it had reached precisely the same
points as it did last autumn, and in
like manner withdrew for a time to the

plateau of Armenia in the spring,

had travelled`with tenfold greater
iidity along the gooc'Y `military roads
between the" -Caucasus and the capitals
than it had'previously dobe through
Persia, so when once it touched the

tial activity of Europe it was drawn
into the vertex, and there was not �zaM

The Conservatives have elected.
twenty.: -five members of 'the Provincial
I.,tig•islature of Quebec and aanongst
these are several yery able rneu; they
have redeemed sevon or eight Of the,
strongest "National" strongholds,while,
on the other hand, they have sustained
losses only to be accounted for by the
fact that Mr, Mercier and his support•
ers, relying. on the fealty of seats they
usually held, adopted a system of polit-
ical debauchery in connection with the
struggle to capture positions hitherto
considered impregnable. The province
must now prepare to pay the piper;
Mr. Mercier is an expensive frontispiece
and the people having permitted hila
to use them as toys, must take the con-
sequences. "Wo have increased the
debt," said Mr. Mercier, and, we are
prepared to still further increase. it.''
And the dupes who will be forced to
pay direct taxes, clapped their bands
jubilantly and exclaimed, "See how
generous and thoughtful Mr. Mercier
is!" They will sing another tune, and
one not quite so rollicking at no dis-
tant period. What may be expected
is fairly foreshadowed in the following
interview chronicled by a reporter for
the 11•Iontreal .Star. The interview took
place on the day of the general election.
Mr. Mercier was asked:
"If you are returned to power what
will be the general policy of your Ad-
ministration?"
"One of push and'progress; of build-
ing railroads, of pushing colonization
and building colonization roads; of in-
creasing the subsidies to night and
common schools; by increasing; the sub-
sidies to colonization roads and any-
thing in the way of progress."
•'How about the Quebec bridge?
"Of course I must build it."
"Where will the money cone from?"
"If necessary I will borrow the mon-
ey"
"It is stated one of your first moves
when re-elected will be to float a loan
for several millions on the Paris bourse.
It this true?"
"I and not prepared to say at pres-
ent."
"At what do you estimate the cost of
the Quebec bridge?"
"It will depend on its site; if built
directly opposite Quebec it will cost
more, from $$4,000,000 to $5. 000'000; if
built at Cap Rouge, $3,000,000 to $4,-
000,000, and if built accross the Island
of Orleans from $2,000,000 to $3,000,-
000."
3,000;000."
Added to this an expenditure on
bridges and roads, amounting to $400,
000, is promised to the County of Que-
bec—and when the "Push and Pro-
gress" programme is carried out the
province will be hopelessly involved,
its credit shattered, its domestic inter-
ests crippled, and the courage of the
people reduced to absolute despair.
This is no fancy picture—for demago-
gues always build and promise more
than their dupes can pay for.

summation of a scheme fraught with
so much interest to that portion of the
British Empire.

ACCID'iom—A littlo,'`chitcl of Oliver
Hodge's, Mitchell, while playing with a
dog at his grandn.other's,Mrs.1-fawkey,
met with a serious. accident, the dog
scratching his face from the eye down
the cheek.
AoCIDENT.---Qi. Tuesday evening;
while swinging in a hammock at the
residence of Mt,,F. A. Carupbell, in the
west ward of Mitchell, a little child of
Mr. George Weight fell out and .unfor-
tunately
tunately broke her collar bone.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT,—•A little son of
Mr. Robert Biggard, of Clinton, met
with a severe and painful accident on
Monday afternoon. He was running
along the street when he tripped ou a
loose board and fell, a large sliver
catching him just at the knee. cap and
tearing the flesh right through to the
bone. Tho wound was so bad that it
had to be sewed up.
Again it becomes our sad. duty to
chronicle the death of an old and respect-
ed pioneer in the person of Mr. James
Simpson At the time of his death he
was about 80 years of age and lived in
McGillivray for over 50 •,years.. Ho
leaves three sons and one daughter to
mourn his loss, who are, John', James,
Joseph, and Mrs. James. Miller. All
who reside in McGillivray. His re-
mains were interred in the Christ
Church Cemetery.
OnITU ARY,—A very sudden death oc-
curred ou lot 1, con. 7, McKillop, a few
days ago. Mr. Roderick McRae, an
aged resident, received the hasty sum-
mons on this occasion. He 'Mid been a
strong robust man all his life until
about three years ago when he had a
severe attack of rheumatism, and from
which he has since suffered consider-
ably. He was 70 years and 5 months
old. The funeral took place on Mon-
day to the Egmondville cemetery.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—The town. of
Blyth was thrown into a state of excit-
ment on Tuesday,, evening, when the
news spread. that Donald Calder, team-
ster had met with an accident result-
ing in instant death. Having return-
ed from Londesboro', where he had corn-
pleted a contract of graveling on the
Hullett gravel road, he drove into the
shed at the Central Hotel about 4 p, m.
Shortly after 8 o'clock he went to take
the team out and in doing so:either fell
or was knocked ui.der,,,the wagon, and
it is supposed that the wheel passed
over his head or was trampled by the
Horses. The team running away at-
tracted the attention of some by stand-
ers, who, supposing Mr.'Calder to have
.net with an accident, rushed to the
spot and found him laying in a pool of
blood, his head crushed into the ground.
Dr. Milne was immediately summoned
but the vital spark had, lied. He was
conveyed to his residence in the south
eastern part of the village where he
lived with his sister, who is almost pro-
strate with >'rief. The deceased was
in his 67th year and had been a resi-
dent of these parts for over 80 years.
LNe will be buried in the Union Ceme.
tery at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
