I .11.1F, MARCH 1881. ON Wednesday of last week Grover Cleveland was inaugurated President of the United States— the first Democratic President in- augurated at Washington since 18511. IT has beendecided to try the bribery conspirators—Wilkinson, Bunting, Meek and Kirkland—at the first Toronto Assizes, which will open on Mi01day, Marcel 16th, before Chief Justice Wilson. Now that the annual meeting of the Caledonian Society will soon be held we would suggest the pro- priety of the question of using the surplus in the hands of the treas- urer, along with other shares, to- wards the erection of a skating and curling rink. There is not a doubt that it would l.ay and the expense of erecting a suitable building could be easily met by ln•gallizillg a joint stock company. In the summer season, if it were not used for rol- ler skating, it could be utilized for large gatherings, promenade con- certs, &c. 1f anything is to be clone the work should be attended. to in time so that the building would be completed before fall. We merely make the suggestion with the hope that the question will be brought up for discussion. A FRANCHISE bill was introduced in the Ontario Legislature Thurs- day afternoon of last week. Among other things it provides that the assessment roll shall be the basis of all voting. I No one can hereafter vote in any riding but the one he lives in. In cities and towns, owners, tenants and occupants can vote on all as- sessment of two hundred dollars, and in townships and villages one hundred dollars. The present franchise on assessed income is continued, but reduced to three hundred dollars, but wage-earners who have resided in one place one year and earned three hundred dollars in that time will have votes without taxation and farm laborers will be allowed to reckon board and lodgings in the three hundred dollars. All separate yearly house- holders will be allowed to vote with- out references to value of place occupied. All sous of owners or tenants who are assessed at four hundred dollars in cities and towns and two hundred dollars in villages and townships shall have votes if they have resided with such owners or tenants for eight -months out of twelve..

SPICING FASHIONS, 1885. With our long Canadian Winters, when ladies aro so wrapped up with furs and over -garments that it is im- possible to exhibit all the novelties that come to hand in millinery and fancy dress goods, a few warm days, or at least the idea that spring is approaohing, makes our merchants active in preparing for the change that is close at hand. Wo now give a few notes of what is being imported in fancy goods and millinery for the coming season. liirstly tee must speak about the lad- ies' bonnets and hats. Bonnets will be worst with high crowns and made of lace or some gauze material touch intermixed with velvet and lane, with a profusion of flowers, also a groat deal of gold introduced, Feathers will also be used at some time with flowers. Several very pretty silk materials are shown in silk with chenille spot to form the bonnet, with ribbons to matoli, and much Plain gauze with gold mixings are in- troduced by our mxlliuors. In ladieshats the material will be in fine Milan or chip, and in such colors as beige, ecru, gold, brown, white and black, with a few fancy shades, but in sinall proportion to the colors first named. Some very pretty shapes aro shown this season in fine geode that are as much a bonnet as a hat, and which can bo put under tho heading of either, because they 800111 to merge into each elaes. Wo should mention such shapes as the Callidorn, Mystic, Victoria, Jaunty, Bristol, Fantasias, Dudley, Elyse°, Natates, Vernon, Glencoe: and in childrou'e goods the Billie Barlow, Mountain Rose, Feather Brain, and a vory largo variety of article, Lace flounciilge aro a new article but they are so wide that ono or two widths are sufficient to form a skirt. Being made of a cheap character a largo stile i8 anticipated. Spanish oriental and soutacho aro the m011es that will bo most iii demand. Millinery pine or brooches seem to bo of a novel style, viz., penholders, quill, pens, swords, daggers, eto„ but all of gold, for inserting through the folds of silk or velvet on the bonnet. Gold lace will be largely used. Jet will be the prevailing fashion, and must bo looked upon as the right thing, as it is introduoecl into every style of trimming, such as lane flowers and mantle ornaments and dross trim. mines. Mantles will be of silk and either of Ottomeu sick or velvet and grena- dine brocho trimmed with lace and jot trimmings. The shapes will be with short back and long fronts and of the mantilla etyle. • Chenille fringes and jet passemeu- teries are the leading trimmings for dresses and mautle8. Flowers and feathers will be largely used and mostly of a natural design, such as poppies, marguerites, daisies and other natural flowers of a larger style. Feathers, both in flats aid plumes, one style as much as the other, accord- ing to the shape of hat or bonnet re- quired to be trimmed. ItIEnoee.—A very largo variety of fancy ribbons will be used both for hats and bonnets, and some very pretty designs in wide ribbons to trim hats with, both in piece goods and in scarfs, especially for hats forming a large fan in front. A large sale is expected fur this latter class of goods, as it is quite a novelty in trimming. SHADES.—Tboro is nothing radically new, but the leading colors will be beige, nutria, fawn, cream, old gold, Cresson, gold brotvu, and a good sprinkling of sky. Parasols will be much larger in size, mostly plain and in satin mater- ial,;but seine very pretty styles ale shown iu 0080 witll laoo coverings, and which appear very stylish and novel.—Dominion D1•y Goods Report. WAS 1111 MURDERED 1 Tha village of Dorchester, about ten miles east of Loudon, was thrown into a foam of excitement last Friday by the report that Dr. Saul. W. Moore, of Dorchester Station, had dfssappeared ander circumstances whioh pointed strongly to the commission of a foul and deliberate murder. 16 appears the Doo - tor left his home, accompanied by bfrs.

The robe lying in the ontter was found to bo spattered with blood. The front and sides of the cutter were also bespattered in the same way, while the woodwork of tho sleigh gave evidence of a struggle having token place in the vehiole. Tho dootors case of instruments, marked with his name were found in the ontter. A party numbering about 6t) was organized at owe to scour the eonntry in search of tho miseiugman and his supposed assailants.
