The velocity of the wind, which came from the South-west, .was somewhat frightful. All trains were ab- andoned. There is a Bill now before the Legis- lature to make deputy -rooves as well as reeves justices of the, peace. The claim in support of the Bill is, that in most ru- ral districts there are not enough J. P's., and warties seeking' litigation have some times to go utiles to find a magistrate. MoIWWTON, N, B. Feb. 16.—The full returns of the election for the repeal of the Soft Act, held in Westmoreland to- day, had not, up to 10 o'clock, been re- ceived. Bad roads in many places prevent word being brought to the telegraph office. So far as heard from the act was sustained by 753 majority. When it is considered that the fisher- ies treaty has to be ratified by the United States senate, the British government and the Canadian government before it becomes law, there: is good reason for saying that the trouble is not yet over. A woman at Chambers, Neb., put two dozen eggs in her bed, so they would not freeze while she was absent from home. When she returned she was suddenly. taken sick with fever, and was put to bed and lay three weeks. The result of her sickness was 18 fine chicks were hatched. Next! Mr. French's bill for the prevention of bush fires got its second reading in the Legislature Monday, but the discussion showed that it is not likely to pass the Municipal Committee unscathed. It is conceded that the object of the bill is a good one, but there will be difficulty in working out the details, and the farmers would bo strongly opposed to any measure which would unduly hamper them in clearing up their lands. For every cent contributed in Canada towards the support of religion, over one dollar is spent for liquor and tobacco— England's annual drink bill would pay off her national debt in six years, and that of Canada would do the same for us in eight years. In this country there is an or- dained minister to .every 700 people. China has not ono to half -a -million. The Bible is printed in 280 languages. $27,- 628,000 is spent in intoxicating liquor in Canada annually ; $8,400,000 in schools, and $400,000 in missions. Adam Wirt, 70 years of age, of Bur- lington, Iowa, attacked his daughter-in- law with a corn knife and cut her in a terrible manner. She, however, manag- ed to escape. He then attempted to murder his little granddaughters; aged 6 and 4 years, but they eluded him and hid in the bushes. Wirt then set fire to the house, in which were two more of his grandchildren, aged 4 weeks and 2 years. The house and contents, with the two children, were burned. Wirt afterwards hanged himself. A return brought down by alio Provin- eial Secretary, showing the estimates of expenses of license commissioners and in- cluding the salaries and expenses of coun- ty police magistrates for the years I886-7, puts the total expenditure for the year at $31,200, and for the second year at 484,337. The travelling expences of police magistrates without salary was $1, 816. Then there are twenty-one county police magistrates under the Scott Act whose salaries aggregate $12,500, and whose travelling expenses amounted to $4,500, ces $3,98o; Executive Council and Attorney- General's Departments, $16,56o: Department of Education, $g r,400 Crown Lands, $49,75x; Public Works $18,600; Treasury Uepai'tment, I9,975 clic. 7'he Reforin party is suffering now 13efare the latter item' was passed from, the senile policy of `'claim every - Mr. Meredith said the Provincial thing. -- Tr-easerer had admitted having been "It is attnusing to notice how different- ly the Tory organs treat members whose elections have been set aside by the elec- tion courts."—Ex. The fact of the matter is, the Tory organs have had but few opportunities of expressing them- selves on the unseating of Oo.aserva- tive members, while on the other hand they have been continually called upon to witness the unseating and in a great majority of cases the disqualification of Liberal mem- bers. M The Globe says the "Franchise Bill will probably not become law this session, but will no doubt be advanced so far that members and the outside public will have ample opportunity of discussing... -it." As he did before, Mr. Mowat will prob- ably defer the passing of his promis-, ed bill, extending the franchise, un- til just previous to a general elec tion, and too late to be of any value to those to whom the enfranchise- ment is granted. Canada will have a change of Governor-General earlier than was anticipated. Owing to Lord Duffer in's urgent request to be allowed to return home early iu the spring, the Government has hastened the carrying outof the changes decided on. Under the new arrangement, Lord Stanley of Preston will relieve Lord Lausdowi e early in March, and the latter will at once proceed to India to relieve Lord Dufferin. Private affairs are advanced as a reason for the•1atter's haste. "It will be in order for the Huron county Tory .papers to join in the loud lament of their brethren elsewhere be- cause of the printing of the franchise lists hereafter ;at the Government print- ing office .atObtawa."—Goderich Signal. The Hurou county Tory journals are not so thin-skinned, and unlike their Reform confreres, do not lament over a lost job—especially when it is known that a scheme whereby the lists can be printed more cheaply and with uniformity has been adopted. The Signal realizes that by the new scheme of having the lists printed at the Gov ernment printing bureau, it is de- prived , of ,material with which it has for the past two years manufac- tured petty attacks made upon the Government and party press. Parliament meets to. day (Thurs day) and the speech from the Throne will be eagerly looked for. The ses- sion will be exceptionally impor- tant. The Fisheries Questiou and the progress made towards its settle- ment will be among the matters discussed ; a change of Governor. General will take place, a national currency will claim attention and the probability :s that some impor- tant constitutional questions may have to be dealt with. The Govern- ment will meet the House very much stronger in voting power than i"If the future bye-electious for the Dominion House continuo to work out results similar to those that have gone before; the Globe's old time Liberal ma- jority of one will sicken, and weaken and aware of irregularities in his De- partment in 1886. It seemed an ex- traordinary x-traordinary thing that when the discovery was made no comnuniea- tion was made to the Public .A.ccouuts Committee, and no coin- munication had been made to the House on the matter, He had em- ployed a special auditor—Mr. Mon- roe. 'What did he do? Mr. Mon- roe appeared in the public Accounts as an ordinary clerk. He contended that the Hon gentleman was dealing unfatrly with the House to hide these irregularities. It was his duty to take the House into his confi dente, and not divert the attention of the House from the real facts of the case. This was not the kind of conduct which should characterize a member of the Ontario Cabinet. The course the hon. gentleman had taken was not right. This matter should be probed to the bottom. He hoped the Public Accounts Committee world soon be called to- gether and a full investigation made into the matter. (Cheers.) THE FISHERIEb CONFER- ENCE. Whatever progresshas been made in thefisheries conference at Wash- ington—and it is to be hoped that a good deal .of light has been thrown upon many points hitherto obscure or imperfectly -understood—it is no longer.: secret that nothing definite in the form of a treaty agreement has been or is likely to be, arrived at. There are two powerful causes working agalust a finality. The Senate is hostile to the administra- tion of President lleveland, :and is determined that the honor and glory of having settled any open, irritating questions between the United States and Great Britain in a man- ner honorable and satisfactory to both countries, shouid not be en- joyed by the Democratic party; therefore the Senate was bound to block any legislation looking to- wards that end. The near approach of the prem. - dental election is unfavorable for theconsideration and final settle- ment of any question might be worked up by the Republicans into a surrender of American rights, and this danger is to be carefully guard- ed against by politicians. Since the above was put in type the treaty has been made public, but the probabilities are that as above stated, the Senate being hos- tile to it the treaty will not result in a finality. The Globe and Advertiser declare the treaty to be a complete surren- der of everything asked for by the Yaukee fisherinen, and is totally detrimental to the interests of Can- ada. Elsewhere in the same issue of the Giobe appears the following from Washington, giving the opinion of Senators as to the advantages gained by the United States : "The Senators find even leas in the treaty than they had expected, that it at the commencement of last ses- provides for little or nothing to which the United States is not now entitled, that they recognize in it lines of similarity to the treaty of 1854, which occasioned so much dissatisfaction, and that upon the whole they fail to find any material thing commendable or satisfactory in the new treaty. Some of them indicate opposition to it on account of what they style its lack.of merit, also because of the commis- sion feature and because of the mannner of its negotiation. In short, they predict sion. Almost all of the bye -elec- tions have resulted in favor of the Government, which carried 17 out of re constituencies opened since last general election. One of the best bills ever present: ed to the legislatute is that making it compulsory upon the treasurer ot every municipality to make out a its defeat in the Senate." statement of the receipts and ex - The quotation does not' bear the, penditure of the year, and either Globe out in ita contentions.
