Scarcely a clay passes that we do not read in the columns of the city press of women, most generally wives, itaving been made the victims of man's brutality. And in our every clay experience, even in rural distiiets, de we not frequently hear of drunken husbaaids having abused and. beaten their wives? In most cases, were similar assaults made upon other — women or upon members of the sterner sex, the offender, would be compelled to answer for his bruitality a• court of law. But because the victim of his wrath happens, to be his wife, scarcely a passing notice is taken. of the assattlt by - the public, and the matter is passed over as if the man had a legal right to abuse: and beat his helpmeet at will and with- iropimity. And even when the offender is called to amount" for his brutal offence before a court of justice, the most severe punishment that can be inflicted is . a fine or imprisonment,—the penalty due for a coMmon iassaalt. For such pun- ishment the geiteral offender cares but little, as if a fide be inflicted the burden of its payment usually falls upon the in- jured party, and, In the event of im- prisonment, while the wife is for a thine. freed. from the dangers Of assault,' the criminal cares nothing for the 'infliction, as the man who has fallen so low in the scale of humaoity as tc lift his hand against her whom he has sworn to honor and cherish, is too degraded to care for the disgrace attaching to a prison cell. It also frequently occurs that the iu- jured. wife is the most earnest pleader in the courts for the liberation of her brutal husband, no. matter how aggravated a assault he -may- have committed. upon her. This interference on her part is prompted more, we should imagine, by fear, than by a -desire .to actually shield the man who has injured her; She knows that if he be fined, • herself and her children will have to bear the brunt of the loss sastainecl, and S0 the wrong will be intensified and the misery increased, and if he be inapriSoned the disgrace attaching to the punishment is not sufficient ta deter hiui from renew- ing the effenee as soon as he is liberated, and that, instead. Of improving him, it pnly makes him more callous and brutal. The only effectual means of abat- ing the evil is through fear. The pun- ishments it present provided by law are not such as to inspire offenders -with wholesome awe, and are croesequently in- efficient to check or prevent the offences being committed. Some punishment more severe should be au, thorized, and corporal punishment presents `itself as the only effectual remedy. Let every man, who iifound. guilty df beating or abusing his wife be well flogged, and such offences will speedily become rare. The wife would then have a protective remedy which could be used without in- jury to herself or her children, and the fear of the lash Would deter the husband from repeating the assault, in retaliation for her havieg informed on him:as thees are few men who would be willing to en- dure a second infliction. of the " cat " even for the satisfaction of pummelling his wife because she had the temerity to seek the protection of the la,w- to shield her from his brutality. This is a subject which our Legislature, in the interests of humanity, might well spend time in considering. . .1 'Ilinely Tr/ pies: Now that harvest is over, and seeding well nigh ended; our farmers will soon hasre more time for recreation and amuse- ment. No better or more effective agent for the furnishing of relaxation and in- formation to our agriculturists could be devised than agricultural exhibitions, so many of which. will -very shortly be held in this and. other comities. The import- ance and usefulness of these institutions, when properly conducted, can scarcely be over-estimated. It therefore behooves all to do what is in their power tOin- crease their usefulness ani d. extend their benefits. The most 'effective means of doing this is, in the .finst place, to give them a generous and liberal support; and, in the second place, to render them: as interestirtg as possible by making the • display at exhibitions large and varied. It is a fact that, in neither of these res- pects, do farmers comoup to the mark. Agricultural Associations are maintained k and exhibitions are gotten up mainly for - o ) the advantage and profit of farmers, and o - the benefits- attending them are, in the f main, absorbed by the -farming com- f munity. They shOuld herefore receiye w a more generous ' supp rt from farmers v generally than they no do. It is a fact b that the labor and ex ense of keeping ri, these organizati ns alive 4nd in their ,. resent *ate' o ffi. eciency de olves al- most entirely o a few, wil ite he many stand aloof, and, while. hey cit er clirect- ljr or indirectly derive pr9fit f m them, do nothing towards t eir at intenanoe t a d support.

Among the clepthtion were Messrs. R. Baird, Wardell of Bruce; M Leet of Winghara ; john Messer, of 11 • I Bluevale ; Thomas Strachan, Reeve of Grey, John Leckie, Brussels, E. 0. Davies and D. D. -Campbell, Lietowel. of These gentlemen first interviewed the Board of Trade, and desired to know e- , -why the Southern Extension of the line (e was not yet opened. The promoters of the scheme, in the vicinity of the road, were living in a hot, bed. of indignation from the people on account of the nen- opening of that part of the line by the Directors. The. deputation talked. in very severe terms. A resolution was passed to the effect that the Board of Trade would. co-operate with the Wel- Engton, G-rey and Bruce Boaial and se- cure an early opening of the Extension, and would send a cable despatch to the Old Country in regard to the matter. On Wednesday the deputation Met the Ptesident and. Directors of the Welling- ton, Grey and Bruce Railway, when the delay in opening the Southern Exten- sion, and the eauses of it, were very fully discussed. At the dose of the meeting the gentlemen of the delegation expressed themselves well satisfied that the Directors bad. done all in their pow- er to hasten the opening of the road.

Your obeilient servant, - R.. Ewing, Esq. A. MCKELLAR. • Ewing & Co., PhOtographers, Toronto. onATAA.m, Aug. 21, 1874, Thereupon, Messrs. Ewing & Co. re- plied in the following terms: aka:ONTO, Aug, 24, MC To Hon. A. McKellar, Chatham, : DEAR Sin.: reply to yours -of the 21st instant, enquiring "by whom and when the accounts for chromes and`pie- tures were opened, and who selected the pictures," I may state that two or three days after the House opened in. the fall of 1871, Mr. Scott, the then. Speaker, oak& in, and saying that his rooms looked very bare, and that a few pictures would improve them, bought 15 chromos and five mottoes, ordering them to be framed. Next morning he called m with Mr. Sandlield 'Macdonald, /and asked me to show him his purchases. After look- ing over them and rejecting two, they proceeded to select a few more. One standing framed, en "The Reaper," after a painting by Adams, attracted Mr. Macdonald's attention, who said, "Ewing, how much for little Mrs.?" 1 etated seven 'dollars. Turning to Mr. Scott, he said, "Scott, that will just suit you ; you 112A better have that, and ordered it to be placed among the lot. There wa.s a great number of frames to make, and. they were not delivered till the 27th Januarer, 1872. We have a copy or two of Little Mrs. — on hand, and will be glad to let you or Mr. Rykert have as many copies as you wish to supply your friends. I ten, yours truly, R. D. EWING, of Ewing & Co. In reply to some comments of the Mail on his letter to Mr. McKellar, Mr. Ewing writes to the Globe as follows :, To the Editor of the Globe: 8ra Allow me to correct -some mis- statements in the of to -day. The pictures mentioned in our account of January, 1872, were all bought by Mr. Scott and Mr. Macdonald. ,They were bought on the 9th of December, 1871,, and. all framed and. hung and bill render- ed by the 27th of January, 1872, or little over a month—not a very long time when you consider that there were over 30 gold - frames to make. Between the 9th or lOth of December, 1871, and the 27th of January, 1872, is not twelve months.
