FRIDAY, JU-LY"28, 1871.
Cabinet CI:tangos.
The iumored changes. in the ..On-
tario "Cabinet have 'at last taken
place. On Monday last, Hon. M.
C. Cameron was sworn in as Com-
missioner of Clown Lands, and Hon.
Stephen Richards as Provincial
Secretary and Registrar. What
the ohject of this change may lie,
or what letiefit will accrue either to
the country or the Government
from it we cannot coucdVe. On
tile contrary, it would seem that th
recent change will be productive of
-very great inconvenience and ptab
ably loss to the country. Tt is well
known that it takes even the ablest
and most competent mea a cousider-
able time to become acquainted
with the intricacies and rou ne of
the Crown . Lends Department.
Tliis difficulty Mr. Richards had,
to a considerable extent, overcome,
eud was just commencing to see
his NVAY clearly, when he is displac-
ed to l'unike roam for a colleague
Who is, at least, two years behind
Lim in experience.. If the Govern-
ment was Weak before, this move
will not strengthen it much.
Retorm Meetings.
We are glad to "notice that the
Reformers of Huron have commenc-
ed taking action. We noticed last
week, that a convention of Reform-
ers of the Ndrth _Ruling has been
called at Blyth, on Wednesday, 2nd of
August. It will also be seen by
advertisement in this issue, that Mr.
Sinclair, Preeident of the South
Riding Reform. Association,- lias call-.
ed a meeting; et the Reformers of
the Riding for illoutlay, the rth of
August, to be -.held in Seaforth.
Ale hough et ie not probable that any
-definite action as to the selection of
candidata. will be taken at either of
these meetings, yet it is most im-
portant that a large representation of
thoee interested in the welfare of our
party, ana.who desire the overthrow
of a governmeut which has time and
aglin sacrificed the beet interests of
trio country, for the sake of lie:Ronal
:tad party aggraudizeine.nt, should be
present. Our opponents have el -
reedy set to work with a virn and a
determination to aohieye success
-which do them ctedit, and which it
to be regretted nee not exerted
behalf cf a -better causes They
have not yet fOrgot tee late defeats,
and are determined to stake allin
another effort to vein the County to
thenrielves. If Reformers desire toe
cheaketiate them, and prevenethem
aeeoaplisinng eueir o hi ect, they in let
go to wock earneiitly and unitedly,
and allow no trivial. personal con-
sideration to stand-,,- in the way of.
success. A thorough organization is
necessary. Without this,, we can do
nothing. A fafr and satisfactory
underaanding must be arrived et
by all. The uotirse of action must
b clearly aad distincly marked out,
that mistakes and inieunderstand7
lugs m ay be avoided, al d that
ma y work ha'rinouiousiy ;cud u niter] •
ly. These,meeting, which are about
to be held, have this object in view,
and we thereihee trust that they will
be numerously attended, and that
the cotirse, of action. decided upon
will be strictly adhered to and
vivorously prosecuted The season
of. the year at which they aio called
is cceteinly not a very favorable one
fer agriculturists, hue there are few
who cannot afford to lose at least
et,,,e day for so gtv.al, an object. Let
ah-Lii lay aside the duties of the farm
for one d-ty, and attend to the in-
terests f their country, and they
wilt be none the poorer at the end of
the year, and wile besides, have the
eatisfaction of .feeling that they have
performed an impeaitive duty.
The Nissouri Murder.
TIlis case, the shocking particulars
of which we narrated last week,
continues to attract -much pub.

the appeal, by voting for the By -
Law almost to a man. It now turns
its attention to Stephen, and treats
the people of that township to the
following strange logic:
" The Council of the Township of
-Stephen, ever ready to to tax the people
of the west part of the TownAip.for the
benefit of the east, have agreed to sub-
mit a ByLaw to the people of the Town-
ship, granting $17,500 to the London,
Huron and Bruce bogus Railway 'sehenie.
The western part of the Township will
go'stron cr against it, andit remains to be
seen •whe.thE,r they will allow themselves
to be sadclled with a useless debt for the
benefit of a very small section of the
Township. Men of Stephen, think well
ere you give your; assent to the contrac-
tion of a debt merely, for the benefit of
London monopolists. '

so great a benefit to the front of the
township, we would like it to ee-
plain, how it is that the whole town-
ship witl not receive equal benefit
from item proportion to the amount
they Will have to contribute
towards it. If, for instance, a sta-

• The stomach perfectly empty, and
its villous coat showed signs o'slight
inflammation. 1
The small intestines were in-
flamed in different parts throughout
their whole length, and near to the
openings of the biliary and pancre,
atic ducts were several ril erative
,
patches; the same appearanc s also
existed near the terminatiOn of the
ilium The laree intestines con-
tained a very small qiiantity of
faces, and in several parts showed
signs ofrecentit &am mat6ry i action.
The small colon in several parts pre-
sented ecchymosed spots. Passing
from the stomaeh to the throat, the
inflammatory effects were visible,
the pharynx and surroudding parts
being decidedly affected.. The post-
naris and larytax also and the lungs
slightly congested. The leidneys ap-
peared in a normal condition, but
the mucous membrane of the blad-
der showed quite a number lof red-.
dened spots. The blood vessels of
the- brain looked slightly congested.
The symptoms and pthtenortein
appearances show the di4Oase to be
a putrid fever of an rakceedingly
fatal. character, produced 'y ,a blood
poison and resulting prin arily from
some local- and debilitating influ-
ence. Thesanitary meapres that

tion of rockets, lights and sholls for
the signal corps. The explosion was
dietinctly heard in the northern
part of the city._ It was almost im-
mediately folic wed by an alarm of
fire, for it caused a serious conflagra-
tion. The flames communicated to
frame building near by and were
carried thence to what is known as
the store house No. 2, and in which
ware stored all kinds of cavalry and
artillery equipments, which are a
total loss. It is suppeteed the explo-
sion was the result of spontimeoue
combustion, The fire also cum-
hicated to another -adjacent build-
ing in _which were ttored saddle-
trees and other eqnipments. There
were four barrels of powder in the
magazine. The arsenal was fourteen
feet square, doLible walls with slate
roof; this building was not only
destroyed) but the foundation was
injured several feet below the level
of the ground, and bricks scattered
in all directions. One of them went
through a blacksmith's shop about
a quarter of a mile distant from the
place of the explosion. Stone houses
near by were so much damaged that
only the =eked walls are standing.,
