This is too serious an o.currance to be made light of. Mr Spurgeon kicks because he does'nt get any pay for his printed sermons, which have an enormous circulation in America. Mr. Spur. aeon doesn't know when he is well off,. Most clergymen would be more The New Rent Lia,W. The new rent law giving protection to I tenants went into force on October '1st., f The first act relates to exemption from seizure under execution and greatly en- larges the number and value of exempted' than satisfied to have their sermons articles. The exemption operates against all writs in respect of which the province printed. has authority to legislate irrespective of g "-"-•- the court out of which they may issue. i **The recent great blizzard may have The articles exempted are specially nam been, confined to Dakota oeceuse ni,erei- in the act and e brace beds and beddinged, ful Providence considered how Canticles including a cradle and the ordinary and necessary wearing apparel of the debtor and his family irrespective of its value. Then follow the ordinary household goods, fur- niture and utensils, the value being, limited to $150, and all necessary articles of food sufficient for the debtor and his family for thirty days, not exceeding iii value $40, farm stock inolading 12 hens and a clog, the -whole not exceeding $7.5 in value and thirty days food for such, bees to the ex- tent of fifteen hives and lastly the tools and implements ordinarily used in the debtor's occupationto the value of $100. The debtor niay elect, however, to allow the tools and implements to bo sold and receive $100 from the proceeds, and this $1100 is, through- THEpast week thitself specially exempted from seizure by g any other creditor.

The other: act referred to deals with the thermometer the rights of a landlord to distress for rent registered as low as 6o ° and a bliz- and the right of seizure by distress for zard with a 'velocity of 40 miles an taxes. Por a number of sessions Mr. hour raged for more than one week, O'Conner, M'. P.

We have often are the property of the tenant or person heard persons speak of Canada as actually liable for,the rent or taxes, except a cold place and the, climatical in afew specified cases, such serfs exchange of goods by tenants forthe purpose of, de-. changes numerous. Where are we feating the landlord's claim, or where the to better ourselves?

All thingstold offer to 'do so When the l rndlo d h in is ovens � an as ceived in voluntary contributions $170,o0o, and the total revenue re• ceived at headquarters was $5oo,- ooa. There are now about 6o,ocoo bales of raw Cotton, (ill value about $3,- 000,000) used annually in the 1)o• minion—an increase in ten years of nearly fifty thousand bales. There are altogether in the Dominion about half a million. spindles, em- ploying about nine thousand hands, with an invested capital of about eight million dollars. We have always favored the hold- ing of school trustee and municipal elections on the same day. Speak- ing: on this point, the Berlin News says : '•1f'the Government their duty they would take away the op- tion of trustees who seem anxious to 'slide into 'ottice without anyone knowing it." Several exchanges are suggesting apropos of Sir John Macdor-ald's seventy third birthday, that he be made Governor - General. The Hamilton Spectator pertinently sug- gests that the old man stay just where lie is. He can' do more good to the country in one year as pre- mier than remierthan he could in ten years as Governor-General. He is too use, ful to be made merely ornamental. --- The Minister of' Education has ruled` that when a school board has given the necessary notice to have the municipal and school elections carried on at' the salve time and the voting by ballot that notice serves for all future years, and that subse- quent elections should therefore .be held at the same time and place as the municipal -elections as provided by law - The deputy postmaster, at Ottawa says that 'thousands of Christmas cards were sent to the dead letter office last week because they were improperly mailed for despatch, 'The greater part of them were en- closed in envelopes which had beeu sealed and afterwards had the cor- ners clipped` off, the senders think- ing' that such preparation would permit them to be sent for one cent. Statistics show that the National' Policy has done rrlucia to foster the coal -mining industry of Nova Scotia Theshipments from the Nova S;otia mines last year amounted to 1,524, 000 •tons -an increase of 150,000 tons over, last year, and more than double the entire:shipment before the National Policy was enforced Preparations are now being made to greatly increase the shipment this year. The Toronto ministerial associa- tion, at their meeting' Tuesday, again discussed the question of re legions instruction' in the public schools. Most of the speakers con tended for the whole Bible in the schools, it being mentioned that a new book of selections was in the printers' hands, and others strongly denounced the encroachment upon the rights of Protestant Ontario by the French element and the Catho tic church in regard to the school system. The discussion will be continued at the' next meeting of the association.

This is certainly a very ministers to appeal to their constitu peculiar, and far-fatched provision, The ents. Parties seem to be pretty effect of the two acts falling together prac-. evenly divided in the house. The tically abolish distress for rent in all Conservatives claim that they have sixteen solid and their opponents' sixteen, with three independents. The Reformers claim that they have sixteen solid Grit votes and two others pledged while -they confident- ly expect that two or three other old' supporters of Dr. Harrison's government will give Mr. Greenway a fair support. They say the Con- servatives will be only able to mus- ter re or 15 in a house of 35- Down, .McArthur, Smith, Leacock and Pendergrast are claimed by the Reformers, jwhich, if correct, will. give the twenty, but whether there is any ground for the statement is doubtful. A redistribution, bill will be introduced 'amongst the first measures, and if not allowed to pass Mr. Greenway will ask for a dissolu- tion and appeal to the comity; but as no one appears particularly anx. loos for a;general election at present itis doubtful if the measure will be defeated. The defeat of the Harri• Wednesday of last week was. Sir John Macdonald's 73rd birth anni- ersary. The Kingston Whig, a staunch Reform paper, say this of the Hon. gentleman : "Yesterday Sir John Macdonald enter- ed upon his 73rd birthday, and with a vigor of.intelloct, a robustness ofconsti- tution, and a buoyancy of spirit thathave beenanisurpassod throughout his active career. .The Premier's political oppo- nents wish hien no luck, but simply as a party leader; they are not, we hope, stS filled with animus -that they can desire hien to otherwise enjoy a long lifeand the best of health. it is certainly olio of the marvels of the times that the older some politicians become the keener they are fur political combat, Gladstone is 78, five yearn the senior of Sir John : Macdonald, and though not equal to the strain of a .great eaarripaign, so far as his voice and constitution are concerned, his mental powers show nofailzng, < tl t7.0 ry, as half a century ago, he is the central figure of MS party, the leader who ' the. Liberals respect and love. And what Mr. Gladstone is to the Znglsh Liberals Sir John Mecelonald is to the Gonadial) Conservatives. He is so brilit, so quick, so active, so successful that no one thinks of associating anyone else with the leader- ship of eader-ship-of the party. Some years ago, when in opposition, and without any immediate tros ectof return to power, Sir John alked of resigning the leadership of the Conservatives, but since uteri he has led thein to repeated victories, and is so pop- ular and so apt as lrenitEt that his retire - *lent eotild not be thought of, `soil government instead of leaving a dispiritin g effect on the Conservatives. seems to have already commenced to uni,e':the discordant elements. which existed in the past, and the, leaders confidently predict a speedy return to power of the party which has so long ruled the province. Mr. May, of Clinton, killed a turkey the other day which weighed 24l,,• lbs. The Signal says that several cases of diphtheria of a malignant type have appeared in Goderich. It is said that Mr. Moir has Revered his editorial connection with the St. Marys Journl, and that he will devote his whole time to the study of law. • While two sons of Mr- Adam Switzer who live in the township of Blanshard, near Melntyre's Corners, were having a every hour.

Any tenant having liouseholdgoods to those values will be most likely to pay his rent withodt compulsion and in cases of lesser" value the landlord has, greater right or security than any other debtor. There is not any good reason why he should have superior rights over other creditors, and if the new law should at first'worl: a few hardships, (and it has already in this locality) it will in the end be beneficial to both landlord and tenant by placing them on the sarne footing ancl relation as exist between men in all the other businesses of every day life.
