THE ELFCTIONS. ONTARIO LEGISLATURE. DA R. M OWAlkS GOVE R N- MENT SUSTAINED. ALL THE MINISTERS RE-ELECTED THE THREE HURONS, THE TWO PERTH'S AND THE TWO BRUCE'S PRONOUNCE IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT. As we anticipated, the Government of the Hon. Mr. Mowat was .sustained. at the Polls yesterday by a good ma- jority. Owing to the late hour at which the returns have been received, it is impossible for us to 'give a full or ac- curate list of members, returned. The intelligence to hand, however, amply justifies us in the statements above made. Weneed scarcely say that this result will be received with joy by the.

Morgan ........ say had they thought that the Govern- s • ment would be so handsomely sustain- ed by the people they would not have c tried any such expedient to snatch that constituency from the Opposition. However, we presume, the Reformers of East Toronto did not possess the ability to accurately forecast the poli- tical events of yesterday, or had they, they eveuld not in all probability have selected Mr. Mowat as their candi- date. . Now that the battle is over, and the smoke of the conflict will soon disappear, all should endeavour tp forget asperi-- t th -ties which may have , 'son during e conflict. Let each o e make up his mind. to allow bsagones to be by-gones, and let all once more heartily unite in promoting to the best of their ability the weal of our good Province. A determination of this chazacter on the part of the people, aided by the wise and judicious legislation of a prudent and economical Government, will certainly in a short : tirae deliver us from the depression and The Victims of the Late Ex- plosion, at Stratford. 11,r. George Hawkins, who was ter - rib yinjured by the late nitro-glycerine 11 explosion in the Grand Trunk Railway yards at Stratford, still survives. Ever since the accident he has remain.ed be- tween life aud death, but the doctors have hopes that he may survive. His case will be a remarkable one in sur- ges, as his skull was fractured and the brain penetrated by a large splinter of wood. Ever since the accident, the wound has discharged large quantities of brain matter and pieces of wood. Po One eye is totally destroyed. Dr. sh Robertson has been, assiduous in his at- of tention to the wounded man. Mr. Al- fred Lamb is able to get about, but he ter has gone through ,severe trials. He ON' was dreadfully cut with glass, earth, Ne and splinters of wood, and some of mo these must have contained poisonous Ce substances, as the wounds have ulcer- roa ated in a terrible manner. Erysipelas a li set in on .one of his hands, and the re- Ne suit is that he will have to undergo the Th amputation of one of his fingers. Mr. At Joseph Humphrey has pulled through act his injuries all right and hopes to be able to resume work in a few days. The wound on his forehead has healed up nicely, and beyond the loss of his teeth on one side of his face, he will escape any serious disfigerement from the explosion.— Times. • News of the Week.

It is also a curious fact at in the "godless early- days" the les of religious books in California re far greater than they are now., pular science; on the booksellers' elves, seems to have taken the place religion. PREADFUL CYCLONE IN KANSAS.—A rible storm (wind and raiu) passed er Northern_ Kansas and Southern braska Friday evening. e It was st violent between Blue Rapids and ntennial stationa on the branch rail - d. The storm moved in a direction ttle north of east, and passed into braska through Richardson county. e town of Irving was nearly destroyed. that point the storm took the char- er of a cyclone, and levelled every- thing in its path. In the neighborhood. of Frankfort four or five farm houses were blown over. At Centralia several a will persist in being imposed on, it is surely much better that Seaforth should. - furnish the men to do it, than that strangers from Whitby or elsewhere should carry away the money. Mr. s McQuade's head is level. Another per - person, "A Farmer," throws out some, - insinuations on the subject; but I ob- ject to notice anything that a person calling himself a farmer is ashamed to - sign his name to. It grieves me, how - houses were unroofed and great damage done to the crops. At Beattie, on the St. Joseph and Denver Railroad,numer- ous houses were blown down. At Henison Mills, Nebraska, the Catholic Church was totally demolished. A Concordia dispatch states that the storm was extremely violent in the vi- cinity of Delphos, Ottawa county. Fif- teen bodies were brogght in from two square miles of territory. One man from Beloit was taken up in his wag- gon,thrown to the ground and instant- ly illed. A woman and child were thrown against a wire fence and killed. Five persons were killed in one house hear Delphos. The crops were severely injured all along the line of the storm. So fat' as known there have been thirty lives lost and over fifty persons badly injured. Menta ETNA.—Great alarm is felt from the continued volcanic eruptions of Mount Etna. It is ejecting enor- mous volumes of ashes and lava. The destruction -of property is immense. The commune of Majo has been ob- literated and Casello is threatened. Many large and valuable estates have been destroyed. Four main craters continue to pour forth streams of lava, while many of the smaller ones have become inactive. The stream of lava which has interrupted the road at Pas- se, Pescara is half a mile wide and one hundred feet deep. Current Topics. To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. S,—I notice several correspondents have thought proper to comment on my letters on the seed wheat question. Mr. Brock tried to prove the good milling qualities of Arnatka wheat by getting two bushels ground. 'Unfor- tunately the quantity was too small ; it requires that amount to remain in the stones, bolts and cloths all the time. If he greund the Arnatka first, he got the product of the previous grist. If he ground the Fife after, he got the flour of the Arnatka. This explains ' why the Fife wheat was not as good as the Arnatka. If he ground the Arnatka last he got no flour from it, consequent- ly his certificate is worthless. Mr. McQuade, another writer, found no great fault, but blamed. me for not a,p- plying the lash on e whole host of other pedlars, -and on the farmers as well, who were equally deserving of censure. This may be so, but I had only under- taken to dress one person, -which was quite enough at one time. Moat of your readers blame me for taking too wide a range and tramping on too many corns. I differ with Mr. MeQuade in thinking that the learners are equally guilty with the parties who perpetrate the fraud. I admit, confidentially, that farmers are the most gullible class ir the country,and will believe a lie sooner than the truth. This is the cause of their being pestered with such hosts of pedlars, but it only proves that farmers are a good, honest class after all. Mr. McQuade has evidently never read the "Vicar of Wakefield," the best- written tale in the English language. Gold- smith painted the character of a far- mer, the beauty of which consisted en- tirely of honesty and simplieity. He also gave the character of a horse couper, one who lieled by his wits. This person succeeded in imposing on the honest, simple farmer twenty times, and, strange to say, he did it easier the last time than the first. Canada being a country -of farmers, it is plain it is a grand spot for seed and other pedlars to live and thrive in. Supply and -demand will regulate itself. I must confess it was unfeeling on my part to siegle out one person when thousands are eD.- gaged in a similar business. In fact, it was going back on my own principles. I argued not long since, that it was much better for Canada as a country to impose on ourselves, than allow the Yankees to do it and rob us of our money. In like manner, if farmers • ever, that an Irishman or an Euglish- man, from Goldwin Smith down to a seed wheat pedlar, should attempt to muraer the Scotch, or cast any re- flections on their religion. They should ponder on the old saying: "A pedlar shouldnot smatter • In Philosophic, Nor a professor become a meddler In Theologie." It should ever be borne in mind that lie chosen people, the Scotch, were the rst to secure civil and religious liberty r themselves, and then to extend it to heir neighbors. People nowadays eem to have forgotten how much. they re indebted tri the Scotch. Why, cotland furnished Ireland with her ational patron saint, one that they ight well delight to honor and strive t emulate. To give the people their tie, they seem to appreciate the gift, t e 17th of Irclaud being commemorat- d. all over the -world wherever an - rishman is found. She also furnished ngland with the King when the union f the kingdoms was effected ; and in t ese latter days,in our own country,she f rnished. a political saint to the ory party, in the person of John andfield Macdonald, whom they have orshipped ever since he was laid in t e grave. It is scarcely to be hoped. t at the good man is reaping the re- ard of the good deeds done one earth, a d that he will continue to do so, ac - o rding to the Calvanistic doctrine to a eternity. Everybody admired. hie i dependence of character When • with u , and no one has been mean. enough t reproach him Since he has gone. ut it must be remembered that during t e last four years of his life, evil asso- c ations produced. an injurious effect. is colleagues persuaded him that be- g so good and honest, he should spend e people's money without their con- nt, and he so far forgot himself as to °claim the doctrine of 'supporting s supporters." This the Reformers, d all who like Calvin fought for a nciple, objected, declaring they would t allow even a saint to spend their oney without the sanction of Parlia- ent. It seems to me it was a blessing t at the deceased was a firm believer a " middle state," when he could get of the evil associations that had pes- ed him before entering into his rest. • I II • • a11 0 IIII 5' in ri te S'nce he has been gone Scotland had to fi d a suitable successor in the person of Oliver Mowat, politics being left in such a pure state it was absolutely necessary that he should come down from the bench to keep them in their purity. The result is he has carried out all the good. things begun by his predecessor, aud on a fax more liberal scale. The only earthly reason why he is not a saint now, is simply because he is alive and kicking. Reformers declare he is fully as good as the old one. Why then, should either the Scotch or the Calvanistic religion by sneered, at by such a person as Goldwin Smith. One would naturally have supposed that he . above all others wouldshave retained the fear of the Lord. Beaconsfield for ever before his eyes, whose sarcastic pen in a few short sentences so completely caricatured. the arrogance of the ever wise professor, who constituted. himself the infallible authority on all political questions, without knowing anything about them. The censure of the noble lord being inst, was fully appreciated by the English nation. The result, was the Professor left the country for the country's good, and has never been re- conciled to it since. It was sincerely hoped. it would. prove a salutary lesson, but, alas! such has not beea the case, as he has since developed into an Am- erican philosopher, and returned to his evil ways an a more extended. scale, by sneering at the Calvanistic It never was expected that an American philosopher would comprehend. that or any other religion, th.ese' things being spiritually deceased. If, however, he would pray for less conceit in himself and sit at the feet of Drs. Topp or King, they might succeed in making a Calvanist of him, but I fear it will be more to his liking to go arm in arm with another Doctor, whose idea of the punishment ofthe wicked is iiot quite so permanent, being a philosopher he should err on the safe side, or he will get his " farin." Lest be does not know the meaning of the word, he had ,better hunt up Robby Burn's definition of it, and. profit by it in time. Yours, JAMES PRINGLE. P. S.—There is another Scot being made a saint. It is to be hoped the effort will be crowned with success, as it will shut the mouths of those who talk about the pedatory instincts of his forefathers. The prospects are quite bright. The Queen has long knighted him. The American philosopher has given. him abeolution., and the people have whitewashed him. If he don't come out a saint he will a gra,ven image, and when he dies will surely be made an object of worship. J. P. Robert Dormer's Stable. A Wonderful Establishment. The greatest collection of road horses in the world belongs to Mr. Robert Bon- ner, of New York. There are now in his stable, West Fifty-fifth street, near Fifth Avenue, 10 horses, every one of whieh, with a single exception, has trotted 2:20, or better. The exception is Mamie B., by Edward Everett; dam St. Lawrence Maid, one f a pair driven several years by Com oclore Vander- bilt. She is a diminutiv specimen of horseflesh, standing but 4.1. Unques- tionably she is the fastes trotter -in the world of her size. She h pulled. a wagon on a three-quarter track in 2:23/, and has heen timed a toile in harness in 2:21/. She is fairly flying on the road now, and Mr. Allie Bonner does not hesitate to brush with anyehing that will accept his challenge; and well. he may, for she has shown a quarter in in 0:34 ; she wears a sixteen -ounce shoe. Edwin Forrest, the phenomenal trot- ter, towers like a giant in size above the little mare. Nowhere, among first-class flyers, can be found a contrast so strik- ing in all its features. The beautiful r bay, as he has been appropriately call- ed, is a fraction over 16 hands; his head denotes intelligence, the brain be- g ing prominent. He is wide between the i jaws, high in the withers, immense through. the chest, possesses great fi length, and powerful quarters, with t drove Dexter to.road-wagon, weight 319 pounds, a mile n 2:211-, a performance which has nev been equalled. The once white -bac king of the turf is as young, to all a pearances, as a; 6 year old. He is as ola,yful, as vigorous, and as full of life as when he made his fare- well bow to the public at Chicago. Al- though he look at the timid in such a way as to frigh en them, he is an affec- tionate horse. He is fond of his daily attendants, an eyes with tender ap- preciation the and which offers him a piece of carrot r lump of sugar. XV. Bonner was no seen ou the road. for- hearly a year u til on last Thanksgiv ing Day, and t en he rode out behin Dexter. It is is custom to drive th white -legged g lding iu the morning and Edwin For est in the afternoon. Music is a ery bliaod-like lookin mare, a chest ut, staeding fully 1 hands. She is 11 years old, and. Vrra got by Middlet by. Rysdyk's Ham bletonien, da by Roe's Fiddler, grandson of M nmouth Eclipse. Sh is an excellent ouble-harness perform er, and is hard o beat single. We bel ve the ateli on her at Mr. Bonner' track e mile in 2:1n. She will tro in a fourteen-ou ce, or even a 12 -ounce shoe. JUNE 6,i8 a -mile in 2:20. They have spent mune. and time in the pursuit of this elijea,-. and when one of them has beensu ful he has looked upon his horse as As greatest treasure of earth. Re his walked proudly among his fellow-cree. tures, and words have failed to deseeat Jus happiness. A 2:20 road horse isle rare as to represent a small fortees Mr. Bonner is a man to be envied. es his town stable he has ten 220 nye& and at his farm be has a score or neei which either have beaten 2:20 Or sae promise of doing so at an early esel. His marvellous collection of t flees - certainly makes him the foremost roe,a d rider of this or any other age. Fish and Game Lae. To the Editor of the Huron --Expositan 6 Sin. --The Society here foe the pea s tection of fish and game have plasma, ll m ed several of the saw mien itillotte a Huron for throwing saw /lest and. tat e rubbish into the several branches of lee _ River Maitland, in contravention of tee d Fisheries Act. They have been bteak. ing the law for so many years; that a She reason they make eueh cry about , being punished at present I hear that the mill men. are going to get the _ sistance of Mr. Farrow to get the lee s changed at once, so that they vale es a able to fill up the rivers with saw aut n and mill rubbish. It will be well fat Mr. Farrow to look after the interesti of the people generally, as well as te, saw mill men. Rivers and creels should be kept clean. BETTIAP., Jelin Taylor, 9 years old, and. pedi gree not establi bed, is as fine in all hi points as a thor ughbred. He gained public record of 2:25 his first season o: the turf, but ha. trotted a mile on Mr. Bonner's threeatuarter track in 2:181. The first time e and Music were ever speeded. togethe in double harnessthey pulled a road -.w gon a mile on the three- quarter track in 2:22. Startle, bred t Stony Fcrd, 11- years old, and by R sdyk's Hambletonian; dam. by Americ n Star, is the the big- gest horse for hi inches in the country. The muscular d velopment of his quar- ters is simply immense. He is 15.1 un- der the standard, is finely coated, and as docile in tem, erament as a lamb• Four days befor his fifth birthday he trotted a public rial at Prospect Park (previously ania' oinaced in the Tull Field and Farm) in 2:191. Prior to the improvement of Ileetwood Parkthrough rendering the soil elastic, he turned. the track 2:19. At that time the best mile ever trotte4 in a race at Fleetwood was in 2:19/-, won by American Girl and defeating oldsnaith Maid and Lucy. Startle a so trotted. half a mile itt 1.04 in harness, and pulled a road wagon at Fleetwood a quarter in 0.32/, —a 2.10 gait. The stallion WflS then put into the stud, and his 3 yr old colts are promising. The only -time he was started. up in harness this year he trotted a mile with ease in 2:21./.. He wears a 16 -ounce shoe, but will extend himself better in a shoe weighing one and a quarter pounds. Molsey, a bay mare, by Whiteside's Black Hawk, -first dam by Dallas, and second. dam by imp. Leviathan, is scant 15.2. She has a speedy form, and was quite successful on, the turf, where she obtained a record. of 2:211. She has since beeu timed_ &mile on the three- quarter track in 2:14. Malice, 8 years old, bred at Wood- burn, and by Woodford Membrino, out of Malmaison, by Alexander's Abclallah, the sire -of Golds ith Maid, is a, nervy, up-headedbay are, 15.2. She has the courage to tret all slay, and is one of your improving kind. As a six year old she showed a mile in 2:29/ on Mr. Alexander's track, as a seven year olel a mile iu 2:251; and as an 8 year old she trotted a mile on Mr. Bonner's track in 2,20. :She goes without toe -weights, and wears a 14 -ounce shoe. May Bird, by George Wilkes, by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, is a black or - brown mare, with three white feet, 15.4 over the withers and. 15.1 over the ump. She has proved. herself •a won- derful campaign mare, having won close on to 70 heats m2.30 or better, and aimed a record. of 2.19 to saddle, 2:21 n harness, and 2.24/ to - wagon. She wears a 14 -ounce shoe, which often nes down to 12 ounces, and has rotted a mile on Mr. Bonner's track in drooping hips. The forearm is long, the cannon -bone short, and the haunch is unusually broad and strong. The feet are good and sound, and the legs are without blemish. Every muscle, every line, speaks of power and. speed. Ile is 7 years old, and. was got by a son of Joe Downing, the son of Alexander's Edwin Forest; his data was a high -bred. mare, said to be a grand -daughter of the great Leviathan. Edwin Forrest looks like a massive thoroughbred, and he is full of thorough blood. In the spring Y of 1877 he appeared at Kalamazoo, ° wearing 18 -ounce toe weights. He was w then 6 years old, and his trainer fre- B qtiently galloped him two miles before t attempting to pull him into a trot. He i showed terrific speed, but had not had w work enough to make hini steady. From Michigan. he went to Kentucky, a where, in the early autumn of 1877, he 1 was conspicuous as a bad actor. Later t in the fall he centested three races with She great mare Proteine, and beat her a in every- one of them. He trotted f through the Michigan. Circuit the past 2 spring, and when he reached Cleveland the last week in July, was as gcod an acting and as fast a horse as the world ever saw. At this time he wore six - ounce toe weights. The field opposed. to him was one of the most formidable ever seen on a trotting bourse. It in- cluded Darby, Edward, Trampoline, Dick Moore, and Woodford Mambrino, and yet he vanquished them without an effort. Has only defeat in the Grand. fa Central Circuit was at Utica, where he t was_not allowed to win. At Hartford, FOrrest trotted an exhibition mile in 2:14/, and in the repeat went to the half -mile pole in 1.05i, where no other horse has yet gone in a race. Along the back stretch competent critics say he trotted a two -minute gait. He left his feet, and Green pulled him up and d came home at his ease, having made to two breaks, in 2:16. Those who have carefully watched the career of Edwin Forrest are confident that he is the peer of any horse in the world—that if he meets with no accidents he will trot a ie mile next year in 2:12, or possibly 2:10. L 'Kr. Bonner is driving him on the road m in one pound shoes forward and in hall- of pound shoes behind. eq Dext b R d k' 2:1n. Maud Macey, a chestnut mare, seven years old, was bred in Kentucky, an and got by Joe Hooker, by Mambrino Chief, first dam by Star -Denmark, and second dam by Camden. She stands 15.2, has a splendid form; and wears a 14 -ounce shoe. She has grown better and better from year to year. As a two year old she trotted in 2:49, as a three year old in 2:44, ae a four year old. in 2:31, as a five year old. in 2:271, as a six ear old in 2:231-, and as a seven year Id she pulled a sulky and. a driver, eighing 180 ponds, a mile, on Mr. onner's three-quarter track, in 2-17, he latest tirae ever made on it. She s a great mare, and there is no telling here development in her will end. Her fastest time was trotted October 16, nd the fractionaltime was 0..34/, :42i, 2:17. Maud Macey goes well to he pole. ln addition to 'the 10 2:20 horses bove named, M . Bonner has, at his arm, Pocahontas, who has trotted in :171 ; Grafton, ho showed a public trial at Cleveland. in 2:15/ ; Joe Elliott, with a public trial at Boston in 2:15/ ; Wellesley Boy, wh has trotted in 2:19/ ; Eric, who has trotted. in 220i ; Manet- ta, who has been timed in 2:22/ ; As- toria, the sister of Dexter, who has gone a mile in 2:23i ; Centennial, who has trotted in 2:232, atd Keene Jim, with a. four year old record of 2:24a. None of these have been brought down from the rin for the reason that there are but en boxes in the t wn stable. With so man star performers to choose from, Mr. onner can make sev- eral fast teams; lad, but for reasons of a private natur that are well under- stood, he would h ve made some public performances the peat suranier and autumn. He tells us that he has rid - en faster behind Music and Grafton the pole than h ever rode in his life. This is saying a gr at deal when we re- member that Star le had canied him a quarter to road wagon in 0:32/, Dex- ter a half to a roe, wagon in 1:04 Dex- r a mile to a roa wagon in 2:21/, and ady Palnaer and Elotbush Maid two iles to road wag n 6:04. Not one these perforraa ces has ever been ualed by any ot er gentleman to road. Wagon, After looking th collection, we we Mr. Bonner say-th he would. let the p rest and two or 5. If we mistake no selected as the the rest's display. There are thou men in the coun riders, who have b to get a horse wine er, y ys y s Hanabletonian, dam by Anaerican Star, is 20 years old. He attracts, if possible, more attention in Mr. Bonner's stable than Edwin Forrest. He was the first horse to trot in 2:17i, his present record, and he was the idol of the people so long that the greatest desire is made manifest to look upon him in retirement. Had he been kept on the track he would have beaten 2:14. In his raeo against Ethan Allan and running mate, he was timed a mile in 2:16.
