IN North Brace Mr. McNeil, Indepen-
dent Conservative, was elected on Nov.
7th by one vote. A recount seas held and
the judge threw oat ballots that the
Liberals thought should have been oonnt-

only one of a majority there is not a
great deal 31 room for shrinkage.

representation at the expense of Eastern
Ortario, which bas declined in popula-

pretty general redistribution of seats in
the rural sections of the province. And

Ton Liberals of the Province of Que.
bee in its Local Legislature elections
carried the day with a regular
sweep leaving the Oppositions with only
5 esata, the same as in the resent Do•
minion oontest. There is not mush
doubt but that each majorities are too
large ss better and more careful work is
usually done when the parties are more
evenly divided in Herniae of Parliament
but as the people mile the legislators
west abide by their decision and owing
to the compliment paid and the con.
fi lance reposed should rise every effort to
advance the beet interests of the land.

Ix is said that the coming year will sea

head of the house to enforce law and

Indiana, U. S., four lade were given pub-
lic chastising by their parents, at the
request of a Judge before whom they ap-
peered, charged with theft, and instead of
the old fashioned implements of war an
old bicycle tire was substituted and be-
fore a big crowd of onlookers the boys

Owren to the crowded state of Huron
County House of Refuge, there now being
84 inmates, it has been decided to build
an extension to the building next year.
The present house is supposed to have
accommodation for 75 inmates so that
the limit is long since passed and as a
oonsequenoe a portion of the basement
has to be utilized for sleeping accommo-
dation. More room is also required in
the hospital department as there is con.
stantly a class of patients there who are
unfit for any other plass. It was thought
at first that the old folk would drop oil
very gnickly at the House owing to age
and infirmity in so many oases but tbie
bas not been borne out although last
month there were three deaths bat Bo
many are looking for admission that the
number continues to increase rather
than decrease. A stricter watch will be
necessary in the admission of inmates as
in more than one instance persona have
been committed to tb%House of Refuge
whose proper piece was the insane or
idiot asylum. These Houses of Refuge
are now to be found in almost every large
Connty in Ontario and the othere will,
in all probability, soon follow snit.
THE election in Barrard and Yale.

THAT the old style of road making is a
thing of the past is very apparent and a
final farewell may soon be said to statute
labor. The Special Committee of the
waterloo County Connell at their recent
eeasion brought in the following reeom•
mendatione regarding the furtherance of
the good roads movement: (1) That the
Municipal Aat should be amended so as
to provide more effectual methods of
having the township roads opened after
anew atones and kept open during the
Winter months ; (2) That tin Municipal
Ast should be further amended so that a
vote shall be token in every township
where it has not already been done on
the question of doing away with the
present system of statute labor tax and
the money so derived to be anent by
contract under the supervision of the
township ooanoils ; (3) That the Govern.
ment fix a standard width and grade of
the travelled portion of roadways through.
out the province ; (4) That the Govern.
meta adopt some moans to induce the
planting of shade trees along the public
