A.dd to this a draught of cold water or a chilled skin, and gripes ensue. cola water alone never prodaces gripes in a horse; it is only an exciting cause when the predispos- ing'cioase, indigestion, previously exists, When horses are overworked, not oly the muscles of the body get weak, but the Muscular tissine of the stomach and intestines loses its tone, and these .or- gans become incapable of properly per- forming their functions. Under these conditions even goied food is undigested., and predisposing cense of gripes exists. It is not emoted to say that gripes run on to inflammation of the bowels.' This eyelet may arise from the abase of such drugs as turpentine or it may arise as a, primary theeese, but gripes, properly treated, do:not turn to linflammation. In inflammation of the bowels, the contents if intestines are always fluid, in gripes never, inflammation is accompanied by constant pain, gripes by periods of violent pain with alternate periods of rest. The pulse in gripes ,:seldom ex- ceeds fifty pulsations a minute. Inject- ions, 'which are useful in both diseases, offer a valuable distinctive symptom. In simple cholic they ere retained for some Minutes, inflammation the bowol at once rejects them. Assuming that our view of the pa- thology of gripes is correct, treatment should be mainly directed to relieving the bowels of the irritating undigested matter. in many cases nature would in aslittle time, do this heeeelf, and it is the use- swanpnly that success follows and ginger, bran-0-4%4,-st' such as ale When it is of scone import -a' n-c'leeeilee&ree' have a horse of work for a airy, we may try the effect first of some stimulant mixture, as ; Tincture of allspice, 1 oz., enaksh-zirteeeethera 1 oeaT If, however, -aloes are best.

The people are now heartily sickened of the variations in the Scandal business, and the sooner the Grits think so the bettor it will be for themselves. There is mother thing that should not be lost sight of, which must have had a great effect in the contest, namely, the corruption 411a. jobbery of the Ontario Government, and the extremely bad record they have made during the past two years. Even E. 13. Wood couldn't seduce the people into the belief that there are $5,000,- 000 in the Ontario treasury.

We 'hope Tine c outing Dissolution. It is now, we believe, definitely set- tled that there will be a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the coun- try before Parliament assembles. Of course it is not officially announced, but corning events cast their shadows be fore, and one can see the forecast in the political atmosphere. Already the Grits have named candidates for some of the constituencies, and one of the Globe staff' hats issued his address to the electors; but what tells of the coin- ing struggle is that the Globe comes out strongly in favor of dissolution, and it is well-known that the Managing Direc- tor of that journal rules the roost. But what reasons do they advance for sacra it eta, Rome pretend that 30 or 40 of the present members were elected by Allan's money, and it would never clo to: have the honest members:infected •'. oath theee oorrup- dsennum obsque ipjaria; while Others that argument interferes with a little statement made by some journals that at the opening of the seskon ” John A.'s following would not amount to a baker's dozen." For our:part (ye think it would be wiser on the part of our:ru- lers to see how they would stand on a division in the house before they decide on a dissolution, especially if they have, as they pretend, a working majority. The cry about the corrupted members is not worth a naoment's serious consid- eration, for like simply takes to like. There is another great and mighty reason why George Brown should have a dissolution. He is now in the Sen- ate, and his chief desire is to be in the Cabinet, when he would be the ack- nowledged as well as the actual ruler of the Dominion. But he knows that Ox- ford wouldn't have him; South Ontario in0St positivelydeclined the honor,and he thought it best for the sake of his good reputation to refuse the nomination for lAriork hae been eommenced on the Geerge Brown entered a shoe store in an Eaetera city, and wanted to purchase a pair of shoes, After trying No. 10, 11, 12, 1.3, the ehoenutitor suggested hinl 'to pit 00 0 thin etock- nig mid try on the box, Neahit alike murderer Of the girl Hon - weed evidently expeeted to go to Heaven on. hiG death ; for On his wife visiting him 4 slant till1O before 111.S eXe011ti011, 110 teldher to go to it -land never ehaw her face to him more, During the recent session, of the County Council of Bruce a compliment - ay stiffer was given to Mr, Sproat, who was about retiring from the treasure - ship of the eQUIlty a position he has filled for a number Of years Mr, Coeper, eucceeds hii, , John A.

The building was filled to overflowing, the aisles being filled and every avail- able standing spot made use of. The walls were tastefully decorated and these mottoes arranged thereon, " Unto us a child is born," " Unto us a Son is given," nWenderfal Counsellor;" "Peabe on Earth ; Good will toward men," etc. The tree which 'was a small evergreen, when lighted up with small wax tapers, looked really beautiful, ancl showed off the presents to perfection. After the delighted children were attended to, presents were given to the members of the choir. This is really a good way of encouraging the children to attend Sabbath School, giviug them induce- ments to attend. Mr. B. V. Elliott on behalf of the Ladies' Aid Society, pre- •sented Bev.

Rev,' Mr. Lund called on Mr. Manning, who had a darpreviously returned from hie trip to North Carolina, to give a short deecription of what he saw on the way aud while in that Southern din/tate. Mr. Manning then gave the audienee a short outline of his trip relating some curious instances of the peculiar char- amteristics of the people; their modes of traveling, and what kind of conveyances they used, one team which he eaw there composed of three steer§ (bridled- and bits in their mouths) and a horee, eeein- ing particularly to take his fancy, and of which he tried to induce a photra- grapher to take a pioture ;btit that indi- 'Muni reftteed to do so under the bit, horbitant stun of $5, and Mr. Manning considering that top much,didn't get the pieture, no. film showed a Cotton itoWee, to the addienceand;this article he eonsidere thoiemoe t profitable coinniddity td ritiscras,X does not lessen the strength of,th til, as tobacco (lops,: tr.6 gave many „therititoresting teirtiniseelideS of ',ley hitt we refrain from saying ttrther 10 'We hope to indlice n itt41Ne. pesebaa'etttline moo yory "'.ittlitip`anY 11 JEIXaminatiOnt of Teachers.

The two chromes presented to sube scribers of The Aldine for 1874 are such beautiful and unusind works of art bithful copies of actual paintings in oil made by the Cielebrated artist, Thomas Moran, from studies of nature -that we feel justified in calling special atten- tion to them. These chromes represent scenes chavacteristic of the East and thea -West : the White Mountains of New Hamnshire, and the Cliffs of Green liivei- in Viyorniuig Territory. In all "eau .sres-o-eageand and beautiful Ameri- moode, yet appropriate comPanion pieces. , The view in the Whiteatrountaina gives the beholder a grand and sublime scene of the famous region in new Eng-• land, a picture which is filled with the very spirit of the region. The subject is treated with muCh breadth anclfeeling without au .overcrowding of peaks and cliffs which so often spoil the artistic effect. The top of the principal moun- tain is surronded by clouds of magical beauty, which add life to the scene, in- dicatiog, as they do, action.
