ROBERT 3E1 NNAH, Proprietor, 485-41 • The Farmers' Sons' Franchise. The Act extending the privilege of voting to the sone Of farmers is now in force. As the voter's lists for the next general election will, in all probability, be compiled from the assessment rolls of this year tt would' be well for all who wish theirsons tO, vote at the next gen- eral election to sise that their names are properly entered, en the rolls before they are confirmed by the Courts of Revision. The following are the principal provisions of the Bill : 1 For the purpose of assessment, •every farmer's son, bonie fide resident on the farm of his father or mother, at the time of the making of the assessment roll, shall he entitled to, and 'may be entered, rated and assessed on such roll, in respect of such farm in the Manner following: If the father be living, and either the father or mother be the owner of the farm, the sons shall be entered and assessed jointly with the lather. If the father be dead and the mother owns the farm, and a widow, the sons may be entered under and asses- sed as if bona fid occupants or tenants under the mother., ' Every farmer's 'son, 21 years of age, residing at the time of election in the electoral division or riding in which he tenders his vete, and having resided on the farm of his father or mother for 12 months,' next prior to the return of the assessment roll, provided he is not dis- qualified ,under section 2, 3 or 4, of the Electoral Law of 1868, and is in accord- ance with the provisions of the Ai. , rated on the aseesament roll for ttruteh farm, at an amount sufficient -to qitalify a voter, shall be a voter. Temporary absence of four mouths or under shall not disqualify. A son entitled to be as- sessed by the provisions of the Act may require his name to be entered as joint or separate owner, occupant or tenant. and shall be liable as owner, occupant or tenant in respect', to such assessment, and shall have the right to apply .and complain to the Court of Reyision as other voters. I I If there_ be more than one son on the farm, and the farrn is not rated and as rimed at an amount sufficient, if equally divided between them, to give is quali- fication to vote to the father and an the sons, where the father is living, or to the sons alone, where the father is dead, and the mother is a widow, then the right to be assessed and to vote under this Act shall belong to and be the right only of the father and the eldest or elder of eaid sons to Whom the amount at which the farm is rated and assessed I will, when equally divided. between them, give the qualification' to vote; provided, moreover, that if the amount at which the farm is so rated and assess- ed is insufficient, if equally 4ivided be- . tween the father, if living, trart;i1 one son, to give to each a qualificatio to vote, then the father shalt be the oily person entitled. to be assessed and to Ivote in re- spect of such fern. The Act further provides that if the assessraent of 1877 be completed before the passage of the Act, any son entitled t� vote under it, may apply to the Court of Revision to enter his name with , the -, • same effect as if the Act had passed on the 1st of January, 1877. Every son qualified by the Act, shall have the right ta vote at municipsl and general elections; the word "father" to include "step -father." Oanada.

This is a step in the right direction, and e hope such a law will be enacted. Wli1e saying this we believe the crime of seduction would be greatly diminished, if, as the London Advertiser very properly jjuts it, the la- dies of "Society were lees ready to re- ceive into their drawing rooms men of profligate lives." More eound words were never uttered. The ladies of every town and city in the Proince have it in their power to prevent, tol a great extent, the crime of which they as a body so justly complain.

The large number of lantern lights attracted the atteution of the night * watchman who proceeded to the scene of action. He immediately rang the fire alaim and aroused the Dtrectors of the, Railway; the Mayor, Sheriff and other officials. These gentlemen soon arrived and ordered work to be toed. No At- tention, however, was pai by the South- -ern mien who went on very quickly and systematically pulling up the rails and casting them tome side and piling the ties on their o wn cars. About a mile of the track was thus destroyed, when the crowd left the town with their two trains. We understand thatthe Brantford and Port Burwell Railroad. was handed over on Saturday to the Great Western Rail- way Company, and the Southern men took away only what really belonged to them. It is repoeted that they have done the same thing in tilsonburg- No trains can run over the road for some days. —Mr. Douglas Russel, the evangelist, whose labors were so successful in Galt about eight years ago, is now passing through Canada on his way from Aus- tralia and New Zealand to England. He has been preaching to large meetings in London, Galt and other places within the past two weeks. In consequence of the great revival that attended his preaching in Galt eight years 'ago, Mr. Russel's name was for several years af- terwards familiar throughout the whole of this Province. He has been laboring in evangelistic work ever since, in so far as hie strength would permit, but inces- sant work had so broken down his health that he was obliged to take a sea voy- age to Australia and New Zealand, where he and Harrison Oed have been preach- ing together with great success, and he is now on his return home. —Last week a deputation of several _ gentlemen from Prince Arthur's Landing, waited upon the Premier at Ottawa to re- new a request made a year ago that the Government should assist the line of six miles of railway intended to connect Prince Arthur's Landing with the main lime of the Canada Pacific Railway at Fort William on the Kaminstiquia river. Mr. McKenzie pointed out thatsuch line could only be considered as a branch of tha Can- ada Pacific Railway, and he had serious doubts in his mind whether the Govern- ment could with propriety ask Parliament to give assistance to such a • work. As for the assertion that Prince Arthur's Landing was the better terminus ftir the Canada Pacific Railway, that question had already been decided upon in the re- port of the Government engineers, who had given many and ogent reasens for, the selection of Fort William. At any rate, he said the branch road to Prince Arthur's Landing could be of no real value to any one before the fall of 1878. inasmuch as the Pacific Railway west- ward from Fort William, now in course of construction could not possibly be fin- ished before that date. He promised, however, that the Government would give every possible consideration to the representatives of the deputation. .Perth Items.

Mr. Roberts, . of the grand central livery stable, however, has tested the matter and gives as the result of his experience that our horned cattle fed on native hay alone will do more work than those in Ontario fed on grain and. cultivated bay.

The horses took fright and started off, the knives cutting both legs of the un- fortunate man in a fearful manner. The right leg, however, healed tip; but the injuries that the bone of the left leg re- ceived in being cut and hacked almost from the knee to _ the heel, had caused the bone to become diseased. After suffering at times the most severe pain, Mr. Savage catne on the 24th ult. to the hbspital at Winnipeg to have the leg amputated, which- operation was - successfully performed by Dr. O'- Donnell, assisted by Drs. Codd, Cow- an and Lynch. The amputation was - necessarily a very- difficult one, as the medicai men decided; if -possible, to save the knee joint.
