No. 2—Bridge at MoGregor's.—I would recommend that this be replaced with au iron one nest year, as the traffic is very heavy ou that toad. No. 3—Bridge at Donald's,—This bridge having beau repaired may last for 2 years yet as the traffic Ls not heavy, but this and bioGregors are not heavy enough nor built in proportion to last long; that ia, the struts or principals are too flat for parrying heavy loads, and the timbers are not heavy enough. No. 4—Bridge near Granton.—For a light bridge it is in good repair, and being tightened may last 3 or 4 years. No. 5—Bridge on 10th Con.—The prin- cipal of this bridge is good and by being kept tight ought to last 10 years.

The sermon preached by rhe .~tea. S Sellery, on Oct, 28th, subjeee "possession. of eternal life," was a masterpiece of elo- quence and a gushing flow of the grandest spiritual reasoning that ever came from behind the Methodist pulpit.

We regret to report the death of Mary Daroey, eldest daughter of the late Martin Daroey. Deceased was 21 years and 5 months old, and lust in the prime of life. She was a very robust girl until about a year ago, when she oontraoted a severe cold, which settled on her lungs, and con- sumption followed. She bas been growing worse ever since, till on Wednesday night last death came to her relief. Her remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relations. She was buried in the Roman Oatbolic cemetery, Rev. Father Connolley saying mass, and preaching a long sermon over the corpse. The family, in their sad be- reavement, have the sympathy of all those who know them. THE WORST OF ALL THE "ISMS. "Don't talk to me about your political 'isms,'' " said a facetious old valetudinar- ian, "I tell you there is no ism on earth so bed as Rheumatism." The venerable suf- ferer was right. St Lawrence's gridiron or Quatimozin's pallet was not more emphati- cally a bed of torment than the couch of martyr to rheumatism. It is generally considered by the faculty one of the most obstinate as well as one of the most pain- ful of maladies, and it certainly deal re- sist all ordinary remedies with extraordi- nary pertinacity. Skill and science, how- ever, r, n in this age of progress, - seem to mas- ter a for all orposition ; and even this painful disease, entrenched among the muscles, and iuterlcnit, as it were, with the sinews nud tendons of our frames, is compelled to yield to the curatives they have provided. We have it ou unquestionable authority —the testimony of patients themselves.— that rheumatism, however deeply seated, may be cured by the regular and persis- tent application of Holloway's Ointment. This, we feel assured, will be welcome in- telligence to thousands of sufferers, bed- ridden by the disease, or limping with stif- fened joints along the pathway to the torch. In a climate where the quirk -silver sometimes makes a leap of thirty degrees up or down, the complaint is of course a prevalent one ; and in our new settlements at the West, along the alluvial horders of ourgreat rivers, in the hemlock swamps of l I locations, t tit and in a dam and tho Sot n few persons roach the age of forty years without a rheumatic visita'ion. It is clear, therefore, that a preparation which will afford 'immediate relief, and affect eventually a thorough cure of the pone. .plaint,'must bo of especial value to the people ot all countries. We cannot reas- onably doubt, in view of the Well attested statements whioh hive been laid before as, sustained as thee, aro by oirounistanoes within our knowledge, that the ointment referred to will effect that object ; and among all the benefits which the discover. ies of that celebrated physioian and p hil - authr ']st'lnveConrotred upon mankind, the east important. this ' a rtnital not e 1 s Is o p Y 1 tiller of the , Many an iucinetuo issoil, whose services are needed in the field, is at this tnomont languishing on 11 bed of sick. ness ; the hands that shoald gnide the plougil or grasp the shade renderer] power- lose by'Rhonmatista Many a :toiler in evdry (Wench of productive labor is sitni- lirl,y situated; and we e:ut •ilnaginewith '' what joy thaw' enffnrere wont(' haft the ,, ' ror i'�e cure. lir all suC1L means of nn .d at a we feel justified in recotnmcuding this bat- 1 6 altti0 remedy, the application of which, I itll the hid of a few doses of Holloway's 'ills to regulate tine internal ermine, would, , we feel assured, 113810re thein to 110111111 and urzfnlurs�,-=•Dally A.rguy, ., elm:.,.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the views sot forth by our correspondents in this column. Poiitioal Union. 'f'o, the Lditor of the Exeter Times. In the expression of "Observer," in last week's EAISTLn TIMES, anent political union, there is a goocTdeai of truth ; and that there are many people in Canada to- day of his sentiment, ere can be no dis- puting. In tact the sentiment is growing stronger day by day, and as it continues to gather strength, the discussion as to the benefits and possibilities of the scheme becomes more general, and it is felt by a great many that sonleth-lug will soon haye to be done, .by which the desired results will be brought about. It is a movement • that is bound to win, not only from the fact of its being a beneficial one, but also, on account ot the youth and energy of the country haviug turned their attention to the question. They have their future to consider and are not likely to wait until "something turns up " They have a''' veneration for England and the old flag, but they are certain to consider their material interests before a mere sentiment. "Observer" in liis letter last week, dealt very liberally with the question,. but left ample room for more convincing truths. The Dominion is now twenty- one years old. In 1867, when formed, the different provinces had a population of 3,500,000. That population in twenty years, in a young country, should have exceeded ten millions ; but it is doubtful if the next census will give us Gve,millions. The last census showed a trifle over four and a quarter millions. Canada is one of the best countries in the = world, and the slow growth in population is discouraging. In 1867, we managed to get along with an expenditure of $11,000,000, • or about $3.13 per head of the population In 1887 the expenditure was $35,617,680, or within a fraction of $8 per head. , There have beeu no great causes for this start- ling incl ease in the expenditure and taxa- tion of the people, save the rebellion in the North-west, The Government has spent large sums of money in developing the country, but people do not 'take ad- vantage ot the development. The ma- jority of those who immigrate.fror for- eign lands, go to the United. States, while about half of the young Canadians seek their fortunes in the larger fields as soon as they arrive at maturity. A signal illustration • of the disadvan- tage Canada labors under by being polit- ically distinct from the United States can be found in Manitoba. When that coun- try was opened for eettlement, and the Canadian',Pacific Railway built, it was confidently expected that in a few 'years the population would. be as large as that of Ontario. What is the fact? Millions upon millions have been spent upon the country, and yet the population is : only • 60,000. Naturally Manitoba is a better country 'than any of the North-western. States, but the high tariff separates it from itsenatural market. A favorite ar- gument with those who oppose Political Union is to state that Canada would be absorbed by the United States, and our nationality destroyed 1 Isn,t New York State "absorbed 2" Does it object to the absorption ? Would it leave the union if ' it had permission, even to gain the privi- lege of a distinct nationality ?' Every state is "absorbed" and all rather enjoy the process. As to the nationtlity, is it not as creditable to be au American 'as a Canadian? We would eater the Union on terms of perfect equality with our neighbors. We would not betheir slaves to any alarming extent, . We :would have the same claim upon nationality as they have. It would be union, not absorption In short, the talk of "absorption" may frighten some, but it is absolutely idiotic to talk in such a strain to men of com- mon understanding. .

Each country is a lie- uessity to the other and the union of the two is natural, removing as it would all cause for jealously of England on the part of an ortien of the United Y P t States, ntes, would,. do more than all other causes combined to cement the feeling of <friendship and brotherhood that should subsist betweett the old Britain, the mother of us alt, and the younger branches of the Anglo•Saxon family on this continent. The ill -feeling that politicians who oppose Political Un- ion would perpetuate between the United States and England is unnatural.
