Blansb.ard Bridges.
The following report of the state of the
bridges in the township of Blauehard was
presented by Mr, F, Standoven, bridge in-
spector, at the last meeting of Council:—
No. 1—Bridge over F]eh Creek, noir
Prospect.—This bridge would bo better
with a Dollar beam on the south side next
year and it would last for about three years
more.
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.
No. 6. -Bridge at Sinelar's on Centre side
road—This ought to be floored next year,
and, if the joists aro as good as they look
from below, will give good service for along
time.
No. 7—l3ridge at Flat Creek, S. S. No.
9.—If the floor of this is renewed next
year it may last for ten years yet, as the
truss and cords are of oak, the floor
),-should be 3x6 pine. The floor un it now
has been in use since the bridge was built.
No. 8—Bridge over Fish Creek, 8th Con.
—I found thi3 ODA very slack but otherwise
it is in first cress order, except the upper
wing wall on the east side which should
have two loads of 8 -moll stone put on
where the ice etrlkes.
No. 9—The Woodbain bridge. -1 tight -
erred all the bolts that were slack, and it
seems good for ten years.

quence and a gushing flow of the grandest

behind the Methodist pulpit. The church
was crowded to the doors, and the audience
was held spellbound. The Rev. Mr. Sell-
ers is, without exception, the cleverest and

Owing to the wet weather the Roman

those planes and then left them have the
audacity to look for votes next winter ?
P. J. Deeran avers that he will spare a
couple of the oounoilmeu in the coming
election. • He thinks that with the assis-
tance of his brothers, Tom and Jordy Han-
son, he can run one of them out.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather,
Jas. Meagher, of the 10th con., is unable
to run his 'bus to Hound's Crossing, much

eral mote.
Dan McDonald, Pat Grace, Ed. Sullivan

Bert Carrigan, whose grain has been
seized on by a man from Londbn, threshed
one day last weak. He had about 300
bushels of wheat, about 200 bushels of bar-
ley and a large quantity of oats, and after
securing his granary to the best advantage
returned to the house with the man who
was paid for watohing it ; but daring the
night some miscreants Dame and broke
open the barn and took all the wheat and
barley, and part of the oats, There are
now two detectives from London looking it
up, hut as they had no mark on it so that
they could distinguish it from any other
man's grain, it is thought that, they will
not get it.
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.

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. .
The opposition to Political Union
springs mostly from the antipathies en
gendered by the unfortunate wars that
have been wagged between the United
States and England. The mother count-
ry lost the thirteen colonies bythe war of •
Inceroandeave, end many Englishmen
and
d
their descendants in this country ]late
those they term Yankees. On the other
hand there are toe marry "Yankees" who
have imbibed the feeling of their fore-
fathers, and consider' ittheir duty to bo
enemies of old England, under all circum-
stances. This feeling gives 'comfort to
the Irish agitators who live in the United
States. These opposing elements arethe
only bar to Political Union. But the two
countries are, in spite of ,.this f eeling,
drawing closer. Thcy spring from a oom-
~non stook, they speak the same language,
their religion is mostly read the same, and
they inter -marry as freely as do the sexes
of this province. 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. Politi-
cal Helen between . the two countries
would be the forerunner of the most per-
fect union of the most Powerful rase in 'the
world, and every Englishinau and every
Canaclian:' should say : ' God speed the
