Tun debt of the Dominion bas increae-
ea $108,000,000 since 1879.
W. F. MeoLaoN, M. P., was by a large
majority, on Friday of last week, nomin-
ated by tbeEast Riding. of York Con-
servative Association to again contest the
constituency at the next election for the
Dominion Parliament.
A r0000Au0TION in The Canada Gazette
brings into force from the let inet., the
amendment to the Criminal Code passed
last seesion essoting that notwithetand•
ing any law, usage or custom to the oon-
trary, seven grand jurors, instead of
twelve, ne heretofore, may find a true bill
in any province where the panel of grand
jurors is not more than thirteen.
Taz preliminary trial of Hendersbott
and Welter, for the murder of W. H.
Hendershott, resulted in the prisoners be-
ing sent up for trial. It is thought a
special Assize may be held at St. Thomas
to hear the evidence, as it will take over a
week. The object of the murderers was
said to be the securing of Hendershott's
life insurance. December 14th was the
date of the bloody deed.
APPLICATIONS are being pat in for the
position of caretaker of the House of
Refuge to he erected this year near Clin-
ton. It ie expected that this appoint-
ment will be made at the January ses•
sion of the County Council so ae to have
the land in connection with the proposed
building cared for. The matron will not
likely be chosen until the June session.
Twenty-five care of brick have been pur•
chased at Crediton for the erection of the
House of Refuge and Contractor Cooper
is pushing the preparations for building
vigorously.
DURING the the past week interest has
increased in political circles over the re-
port of .the Dominion elections being held
in the Spring. The indications are that
Parliament will not meet until the elect-
ors have spoken. The series of meetings
so suddenly terminated, owing to the de-
cease of Premier Thompson, will be re-
sumed by the members of the Cabinet,
and dates are announced at Listowel on
the 30th and St. Marys the day previous.
The Reformers are also getting on their
armor and on the 29th inst. hold a big
meeting in Wingham to be .addressed by
W. Patterson, M. P., J. McMullen, M.P.,
Thos. Gibson, M. P. P., and Dr.
McDonald, M. P. If the sur-
mises are correct the election campaign
will be short, sharp and decisive.
Turn second annual meeting of the On-
tario Good Roads Association will be held
in the Y. M. C. A. building, Yonge St.,
- Toronto, on the afternoon and evening of
Feb. 7th, and the afternoon of Feb. 81h—
three sessions. While the program for
the meeting has not yet been completely
arranged, itis expected that there will be
addresses and papers from a number of
prominent men interested in the move-
ment, in addition to some of the officers
of the Association. Among these may be
mentioned His Hon. Lieutenant -Governor
Kirkpatrick, Hon. Thome Ballantyne,
Hie Honor Judge Woods, of Chatham ;
A. F. Wood, ex -M. P. P. ; and others.
Delegates have been invited from the
Boards of Trade, the Municipal Bodies,
and the various Agricultural Associations
and Societies of the Province. The meet-
ing, it is hoped, will be a large and thor-
oughly representative one, such ae the
importance of the movement for road im-
provement merits.

Peebles' contract as mail oarrier between

say, however, to those who do not wish
to get vaccinated that an Dunne of cream

when it gets cold, say a wine glace full
several times a day, will have the desired
results, and by some medical authorities

counteracting the smallpox than even

trial, and it is pleasant to take. As re.

for alarm. The ease is being well looked
after.
