W. a1. 31.0E1.1.3ilt, Editor and Proprietor. MONTREAL Star (Inc!. Con.) :—The esti- mated expenditure of the Province of Ontario for the conning year is $3,397,- 000, while the Quebec total is $4,628,000. Of the Quebec estimated expenditure $1,- 004,000 is for interest on the Provincial debt, and $511,942 for railway subsidies, ibus leavingsoarcely more than half of the total revenue to be used for other pur- poses. In Ontario ,$791,000 is to be spent nn education ; in Quebec,$425,000. On- tario is to spend $195,000 for agriculture; Quebec, $159,600. For the malatenanoe •• of prisons, reformatories, asylums and hospitals, Ontario will pay $955,000 ; Qaebeo, $834,600, It will ooet Quebec $190,476 for legislation, while Ontario will get along with only $127,000 for that Rens. Civil government will oost $270,- 626 in Qaebeo, while Ontario will have to pay only $252,932 under the same head. Breams oorporation already has al- most an exclusive Cow By-law, if enforc- ed, as found in the Statute giving rail- ways full power to impound all roaming cattle found within a half mile of the track. If this distance is measured from the G. T. R. crossing on Turnberry street South, it will be apparent to the most casual observer that the number of roving kine in the village will be very limited. The first ratepayer to set an example of removed front fgnces is P. Scott, Queen street, whose property eves qpen to the street during the past year. •A lawn and garden were not meddled with, thanks to his St. Bernard dog, who stood guard when a roaming bovine passed that way. We expect to see others following Mr. Scott's example, instead of expending their hard earnings in the erection of barricades for the convenience of other people. A spirit of good -will and doing to others as we would wish to be done by, would soon remove any fancied injustice in connection with the Cow By-law gees. tion. This has been the experience of almost every town trying it. "MANY of the citizens will not be dis- posed to agree with the Reeve than an election is needless and unadvisable, but ,ro the contrary consider that an eleotion is the only satisfactory expression of the voice of the people, and the cost is a small matter if by that menus a more able Council is elected. The saw off system is pernicious in prinoiple and effect, Now is the time for the citizens to declare who shall serve them. as Councillors for 1898." The above RI a portion of an editorial note appearing in the Herald of last week, and we reproduce it to show that the advice given by the Reeve on Nomination day, viz., to return last year's Council by ac- clamation, choosing the fourth Councillor out of the nominees, to fill Mr. Wilson's place, was very heartily agreed with by the electors and backed up by their votes on Monday. About $25 or $30 was spent to prove the correctness of the ground taken. We also wieh to state that the so. called "sate off system, that is pernicious in prinoiple and effect," has not proven so in Councils and Sohool Boards chosen by compromise in Bruesele. The choice in these oases must of necessity be made from gentlemen already nominated for these daces, and the above reference is n either;oorreee nor complimentary. Brus- sels Council last year did what they 0013• inhered to be in the intereets of the rate- payers and the decisive verdict given is certainly indicative of the satisfaction of the elsctora with their line of notion. A sraErxee of the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions is to be held in the City Hall, Toronto, on Wednesday, Pob. 1.6%, 1898, at 3 o'clock p. m. The following will be the program :—Opening addrese, by the President ; report of Treasurer ; questions by delegates, to be submitted to a Committee appointed by the meeting ; paper, "How the Govern- ment Grant can be bettor made to serve its intention and bho conditions governing the Exhibition and Entries," by Wm. Laidlaw, of Guelph ; paper, "The Exben- eion of our Dairy Industry Markets, eto.," by D. Derbyshire, of Brockville • paper, by Prof. Mille, of the 0.

Campbell, Provincial toad Instenotor, .1 short time will be taken n,] in the lis• tel +lou of each of the above papas Also discussion on a klll;g the Government to tabulate the returns from Agricultural Rooleties and publishing same for general inforxnatiou. "The Management of Fain" will be opened by Jas. Reith, of Grand Valley. It le the desire of the Executive that there should be a large at. tendance at this meeting of the Assad. Minn, as by these meetings a groat deal of good can be aecompliehed in regard to the bettor management of nue Agrlcul- tural Fairs throughout rho country. Each Sooiety is entitled to send THREE delegates, each of whom is requested to got a STANDARD CE11Txt•I0ATE at starting point and at any junctioncouneoting with any other railway where they require 20 change. Get a single liret•elass ticket at starting point, and the Standard Certifi- cate, signed by the Secretary of meeting, will entitle the holder to a reduced re• turn fare. Delegates are particularly re- quested to obtain standard certificates, whether entitled to a reduction in fare or not through other eoureos; as it may 000,ot. ehn whole of the delegates present by coming short of the required number of persons to obtain certain fares. Secre• taxies of Agricultural Societies will kind- ly see that their delegates are instructed iu this respect. Arrangements have been made with the G. T. 18., C. P. ie.. and M. C. R. for the standard certificate as above. The admission to the Association is placed at rho small sum of $1.00 for each Society, to Dover expenses of print• ing, postage, etc. E.

The greatest catastrophe that has taken place in London vicinity since the 'Vic- toria disaster of 1881 ocourred Monday evening in the jubilation that followed the municipal election. The returns were late in cooling in, and it was forty minutes past 8 when the Mayor and Al- dermen.elect and their supporters throng. ed into the City Hall, which was filled to its utmost limit. A dozen speakers had addressed the enthusiastic crowd, and B. M. C. Teethe was about to go on the platform when there were loud cries for Alderman Parnell. In the confusion that followed Mr. Teethe pressed forward, and, without the slightest warning, the plat- form and the floor in the Northeast cor- ner of the hall gave way, precipitating about 150 persons to the floor below. Near the platform stood a very large iron safe, which going down with the floor, added its terrible crushing weight to the falling timbers and pinned fast the un• fortunate victims, who might otherwise have had a chance of escaping. 022 AWFUL KKENE. The scene that followed was one of in. describable confusion and oonsternabion, the cries of the injured and the groans of the dying mingling in appalling chorus. The firemen were speedily on the spot and rendered all the assistance possible, their efforts being seconded by hundreds of willing hands. All the doctors in the city were summoned by telephone and every nearby oat and sleigh was called in- to requisition to remove the dead, the dy- ing and the injured. Tbe news of the disaster soon spread throughout the city and thousands of curious and hundreds of anxious people xi sked the entire bleep packed. 0 on Richmond street, where the City Hall stands. In the confusion and panics that followed the catastrophe the wildest re- ports were circulated, but the truth itself is sad enough. At last accounts the total number of killed is at leash 20, while the injure will be fully three time as many. List of dead :—Crawford Beckett, J. W. Borland, Oswald Bruce, L. W. Burke, John Burridge, Noble Carrothers, Wm. H. Dell, James Harris, Stewart Harrison, James Haynes, Fred. Haman, Benjamin Jacques, R.

Ethel, Deputy -Reeve Dilworth seems to Bound all right. The new Council meets here next Mon- day at 11 o'oloak. A blaok eye and a threatened law scrape for assault were on the program this week. Malcolm Lamont and Adam Turnbull, West of Ethel, are now on the list of Justices of the Peace. Wm, Dilworth left on Tuesday for Listowel where he will attend the Col. legiate. We wish him saooess. We are pleased to see W. J. Sharp able to get about again, He has been laid up for the past 3 months with sciatica. We regret to bear of the serious illness of Joseph Kellner, who lives near here.

He has just returned from a holiday visit to Niagara Palle, Drum- mondville, Stamford and other pointe. Last week a travelling Hebrew pedlar was yore uuceremoniouely treated and his goods and conveyance meddled with, There is a probability that some of the youths may have to answer for an assault case as he secured the name of some of the meddlers.

GEo, DousoN, Principal, PRESENTATION.—T. G. Ratcliffe, form- erly of Ethel, who has taught the Done- gal school for the past 12 years, was made the recipient of an elegant writing desk and book case, accompanied by the following address, read by Alias Lizzie Wilson on behalf of the pupils : DEAR TEA0nER,—Raving learned with regret that you are about to leave ue, and no longer to continue as our teacher, we cannot permit the tie which binds us as teacher and pupils to be severed without expressing our heartfelt gratitude to you in some tangible form. We have ever found you a painstaking, faithful in. strnotor and hope that the influence of your wise and good teaching will help mould our characters for good and wise purposes in the future of our lives. We are sincerely grateful to you for your fsithfel counsel and beg yon to accept this writinit-desk and book-aase as all ex• pression of our esteem for you. We hope you may be long spared to use Rand that it may record the happy reminiscences of our school days spent together. Wishing you and yours the oompliments of this glad season, we remain, Yore Puma. A suitable reply was made by the reci- pient. Mr. Ratcliffe has purchased a 50 sore farm from Wm. Berk, jr., and will follow farming as an avocation. S. S.
