DURING the past week two ritffiani
have been before the Toronto olioe
Magistrate, and were convicted of the
; crime of beating. and abusina their
wives and the inoffensive and helpless
• members of their families. O'a each
occasion the Magistrate expressed his
regret that the severest punish m1ent be
or ilia-

dition

et the
, law should be amended at one .• If
(there is any crime for which tb cat-o-
nine-teila should be, most vig ronsly
applied, it is that of wife beating. The
brutes who, perpetrate this crime are
usually so callous and heartless, atiNo
lost to all sense of shame that nothing
_
but personal suffering can affect them.
The disgrace of imprisonment is rlo-
thing to them, and the loss of- the fine
is usually ma ee up by deprivIn their
helpless and abused wives andf natliee
of necessaries and comforts. If every
man convicted of beating and busing
his wife were to have his back s verely
lacerated with. the "oat" two o three
times in succession it would ha e the

The Syiadioate LandPolioy.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Syn-
dicate have recently held a meeting in
London, England. Among other busi-
ness considered at that meeting was the
policy to be pursued for the settlement
of the lands in the Northwest granted
by the Canadian Government to the
Syndicate as part payment for the con-
struction of the road. This policy was
agreed upon,, and the main features are
introduced in a circular issued for the
information of intending immigrants.
From this circular we learn that the
- Company are prepared "until further
"notice to sell its lands at $2.50 per
"acre, payable in instalments, and will
"make an allowance by way of rebate
"from this price of $1.25 for every acre
"of said lands brought under cultiva-
"tion within three or five years follow-
-"ing the date of purchase, according to
"the natnre and extent of other irn-
"provements made thereon." It is evi-
dent from this that the Company mean
business, and the terms upon which the
lands are offered. are, certainly, as lib-
eral as could be expected. The system
adopted, also, is calculated to encour-
age the beat and most thrifty class of
settlers. These indncements • can
scarcely fail to induce a speedy` and
liberal fiow of settlers upon the railway
lends of the Northwest. We make this
acknowledgment all the more cheerfully
.;
as we were among those who had the
least confidence in the liberality of the
Syndicate, and had Only the faintest
hope that they would adopt anything
like a liberal and enlightened 'land
policy. It will be noticed, however,
that this offer is only temporary i and
the terms can be changed at any time,
and it is not at all probable that the
Company will permit anything like the
whole of their lands to be taken up on
these liberal conditions, but only Suffi-
cient to enable them to procure higher
prices for the locations theyeretaie for
their own benefie. However, under the
circumstances, we should be thankful
even for small favors. We should
think that even the most zealous friend
of the powers that be would now be
prepared to admit the great mistake
the Government made when dealing
•:with the Syndicate that they did net fix
in the agreement the maximum price
to be charged for the lands greeted.
Had they done this and had they shorn
the Syndicate of their monopolyetowers,
there would nowtbe nothing to prevent
the Canadian Northwest filling neerap-
idly, and speedily becoming a great and
populous country.
It also appears that the Company
have determined upon vigorously ptose-
outing the work of railway construction,
at least in the prairie sections. In thie cir-
cular they promise that they will have
completed and in operation 250:miles of
railway west of Winnipeg by the Mose
of the present year, and to carry it to
the foot of the Rocky Mountains, 660
miles farther, by the end of 1884. In
this resolve -the Company are acting
wisely in their own interests, as this
section of the road, when constru ted,
will return large dividends. Bu, at
the same tin ie -that it is remuraeretive
to the proprietors, it will be beneAoial
to the country and will also have a
splendid result in stimulating em$ra-
tion and settlement. We may there-
fore hope that even in spite of the beng-
ling that has characterized the manage -
meat, there is yet in store for the Can-
adian N-orthwest a great and grand, fu -
tare. How much greater that future
would be had the management been
judicious, we shall not now attempt to
predict, as there is no use in crying Over
apilt milk.

THE TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.!—MX. Idi-
tor : If yon will allow me a small pace
in
in your valuable paper, I will Bay a few
words regarding a temperance soPietY
in this village. It was organized about
two years ago. For a time it seemed to
prosper very well.. There were about
120 members connected with it and
meetings were held semi-monthly, which
were generally pretty well attended,
but sad to say those meetings ceased to
be held, and it is a pity,if the society be
allowed to drop in such a way. The
committee who were appointed to call
meetings and provide a programme for
those meetings, seem to have either for-
gotten or neglected their duty. - T do
not know exactly who they are, but cer-
tain enough there is one, and if e they
would only take the hint from thie and
again resenne their duty of calling Meet-
ings and providing a programme for
such, it would be most gratifying to all
its members, and no doubt • jnet as
pleasant and profitable a time could yet
be spent as was usually done at the
meetings formerly held. Though there
have not been meetings held for emit
time, yet the society must not hi:if con-
sidered broken up, for 'I presumelnabst
of the members have kept good {their
pledge, and sincerely hope they' will
continue to do so, seeing teat it is I just
as binding now or at any future time as
it was the very day after they permit-
ted themselves to become members of
the society. However, though mast of
the members, as I have tstatedelia,ve
kept their pledge, yet this, I am 'Horry
to say, cannot be said of them all, for it
appears a customary thing with a few
when they go to town or get in com-
pany to get straddle of the Ass of in-
ebriation and take a ride down to see
their friends, and I might just call at-
tention to an instance which happened
lately when one of the members of, the
society indulged rather freely in eome-
thing stronger than water, and was
taken home to his beloved wife and
dear children more like a beat than a
human being. Such offenders s meld
be looked after, and to do so it wi 1 be
necessary to have meetings, wh' h I
hope the committee will shortly a tend.
to. Hoping I have not trespass too
much, and thanking you for the pace
occupied, I remain yours tinily, A EM-
BER.
OUR LITERARY SOCIETY.--Thi8 8 Ciety
is undoubtedly accomplishing the use-
lui design for which it was orgitnized.
This,is clearly manifested by the pa-
tronage which the people of this com-
munity are conferring upon it in turn-
ing ont so very well on each and every
occasion, showing that they appreciate
the object for which the society is con-
stituted ; also, that they feel deeply in-
terested in the promotion and cillture
of the elocutionary powers, as well as
the developing of the mental abilitlies of
both old and young in this vicinity. On
Friday evening, April let, readings and
recittions were given by Misses Maggie
Hisl p and Maggie Madigan, and Messrs.
C. Ritchie, J. Bulger, A. McKibbin, K.Melitmaie T. Beirnes, J. Palmer and
D. JOhnston. These were of a high-
ly i terestine character, and were
rend red exceedingly well. On Friday
evening last, the subject --"Resolved,

Man than inoney," was ably discussed
before a large audience. The affirma-
tive was taken by Mr. J. !Bulger as
leader, assisted by Messrs. T. G. Rat-
eliffe and 3. McLeod. ; The negative
Was taken by Mr. D. Knight as leader,
upported by Messrs. J. McDonald and
A. Morrison. At the conclusion the
chairman, Mr. K. McKenzie, who was
asisted in determining the decision by
essrs. J. Lee e and H. M. Reid, declar-
d the affirmative to be victors by two
points. The next debate will take place
in two weeks from this one, and will
likely be the last until after .seeding, as
nearly all will find it almost an impos-
eibie .
lity to attend during the . busy sea -
eon. The subject for discussion on that
eight is—"Resolved, that Man learns
more frora observation than 'from read-
ing:" The affirmative will be discussed
by Mr. H: Morriscln as leader supported
y Messrs. D. Johnston, J. M'cLeod and
. Knight, while the negative will be
aken by Mr. J. McDonald as leader,
upported by Messrs. T. G. Ratcliffe, 3.
Bulger and R. McKenzie. This is a
ood subject, and will no doubt be in-
teresting and instructive. A good pro-
gramme has been prepared for next
Friday evening (to -night), when a nun:l-
iter of ladies and gentlemen have con-
iiented to give readings, recitations, &c.
ItInsie has also been provided for.—
COIL -
CHEESE FACTORY MEETING.—A meet-
ing of the shareholders of the Walton
pnion Cheese and Butter Factory, was
held in Beirne's Hall, on Monday last.
Nearly all of the shareholders were
present, and the ball of 10 per cent. on
the subscribed stock was promptly re-
sponded to. Rules and regulations for
the government of the factory, as pre -
Pared by the Directors, were read •over,
and after Home little diecnssion were
adopted Unanimously.; The Directors
*ere highly commended_ for the ener-
getic manner in which they are push-
ing ahead business. Mr. Robert H.
ergnson was appointed salesman, and
r. Richard. Pollard treasurer. Two
etter men for the positions could not
ave been selected. Mr. Whitmarsh,
e contractor for the building, is mak-
ihg arrangements for the rapid prosecu-
tion of the work, and it is expected that
the factory will be running by the 10th
ef May. The milk routes will be let
cin the 20th inst., and the season's whey
Will also be diaposed of on the same

ER-IMPEL/A.—Mrs. Peter Morrison,
Sr., of the 12th concession, is at present
dangerously ill with erysipelas. Her
chalice of recovery is very small, as the
inflanamationehas extended through the
Whole body; and her arm is consider-
ebly swollen; but we hope that her
Constitution, along with the medical
aid she is receiving, will be sufficiently
sitrong to throw off the disease.
! ATTEMPTED Suicien.—We learn that
Mr. Thomas Murphy, living one mile
and a quarter from Staffs, attempted
snicide one day last,week by cutting his
throat. He was always looked upon as
being a very lively, entertaining man,
Whom no one would suspect of com-
mitting such a deed. No reason can
he assigned for his doing so. Di. Mc-
Tavish was called for and sewed up the
wound. He is recovering, according to
last accounts.
ANCIENT RELIC8.—Mr. John More, of
the 9th concession of Hibbert, has a
piece of bread which has been .in his
house for over 36 years, and it is as
fresh looking as if it had not been baked
o er a week. This bread was baked by
a sister-in-law of Mr. More, and it being
o her last .baking before she died, it
as kept as a keep -sake, and will now,
iii all probability, descend from genera-
tion to generation. Mr. John Car-
niichael, the genial Secretary of the
Hibbert Agricultural Society, also has
in his possession a relic in the shape of
a piece of maple sugar which Was made
ii the yeatt1859, and it is still in a
sate of good preservation.
ALMOST Lem—The village of Staffs.,
hich has always been remarkable for
the number and variety of its prodigies,
was startled recently by rather a novel
and unusual occurrence. A gentleman
of short stature, ruddy complexion,
yellow, grizzly hair, abounding in no
great profusion, especially on the top
part of the head, possessed of a good
share of imitation, given to rhyming
nihile conversing, and fond of the ludi-
crous, living in the suburbs of the vil-
lage, became enamored of a lady, con-
siderably his junior in years. One
niorning, shortly after the nuptial knot
had been tied, he had occasion to de -
send into the well for the purpose =of
aseertainingewhat was wrong with the
Vamp, and.if possible to have it ar-
ranged. After setting things right, he
was unable to ascend ont of the well,
sad likely would have remained in this
uncomfortable predicament until he
became so benumbed as to fall into the
water, where he would have perished,
had it not been for his wife,- who was
attracted to the scene by his frantic
yells. She immediately secured rein-
forcements, and by this means, to-
g ther with a metallic rod brought by
oiie of the sons of Vulcan, succeeded in
✓ scuing her husband, who no doubt
. Will rejoice at his having been_ lately
united in the bonds of matrimony, as
he can attribute it solely as the means
of saving his life.
Wingham.
THE WEA.THBR.—The weather hae
been very fine so far this week, but the
late snow has rendered the roads al-
most impassable with mud. Some
people think this is going to be a late
spring.
RWAY MATTERS.—RailWay matters
are coming to the point now. Prepare-
tielle are being made for the widening
of the gauge on the Toronto, Grey and.
&nee Railway, which, it is expected,
will run a branch to this town.
FIRE.—On Tuesday evening a fire
broke out in T. J. Stripp's grocery. It
wes-caused by Mrs. Stripp letting a
lamp fall, which exploded. The Fire
COmpany soon had a stream of water
playing on the building which soon ex-
tinguished the fire, Mr. Stripp is a
heavy loser, as more damage was done
by the water than by the fire.
BADLY SOLD. — Another magician
me along a few days ago, and made a
great show, announcing that if you paid
26 -cents to see his wonderful tricks, you
would get a valuable present. This
wonderful present attracted a large
crowd, for people thought that by pay-,
ing 25 cents they world get a set of fur-
niture, a watch, greenbacks, silverware,
&e. All went very well until the time
for giving the presents came around,

Ileftrinc-Am.—A troupe of musicians and
actore, headed by Howard Clifton„
visited our town last week. By their
bills it was understood by every on
that the admission was free, only a col-
lection world be taken up. All went
very vell, and a crowd of people ag.
sem4ed at the hall to gain admission.
Well, you could get in if you paid 2$
cents for a seat, or 10 cents for the
privilege of standing up. So you had
your lehoice to pay or point for home..
As they hailed from the United States,
the people do not wonder at it.
Tem SPRING Sow — The. Spring
Shove under the auspices of the Turn -
berry Agricultural Society was held
here on Monday. The show, in so far
as attendance was concerned, was k
great, success, there being an immenee
crowd of people. The show of stock
was large, andtin some departments,
very good. The heavy draught horses
in this section are not nearly up ea
those in the south yet, but in the lighter
classes there W8.43 probably a greater
display and a -larger number of good
animals than ever before. In bulk;
there was an excellent show, and some
as b.ee animals as could be seen any.
where. The farmers of this section 1.
h -ave taken a great'stride in the way of
improved cattle within the past few
years, and the result is very manifest
on many of the herds to be seen in the
farmers' yards. On the whole, the
show was a very good one and shows
that the farmers hereabouts maknag
praiseworthy efforts to improve the
character of their stock.
Stanley.
ANOTHER GOSOD COLT.—Mr. Walter
Moffatt, of the 4th concession, has
sold ,another three year old colt for
$150,, Mr. Moffatt has sold five horses
within the past year, for which he has
received $700.
Tne Fiese.—Mr. Thomas Baird, of
thgeitecond concession. of Stanley, sowed
sprieg wheat on his farm on Wednesday
last, April 13. Wheie is John Cameron
and the Mill Road, Tuckersmith, now?
Wake up old boy, Stanley's got the start
of yen this time.
B7TEN.—One day last week Mr. J.
Cameron, of the third concession of
Stanley, had occasion to chastise his deg
for' ome misdemeanor. While he Wati
untYing the strap the dog seized him
by the right hand, and lacerated it so
that he will be unfit for work for some
time.
Hay.
Plnelowere—Mr. James O'Brien, Jr.
left For the Far West on Wednesday of
last lweek. He leaves many sorrowing
hearts =behind him, especially among
our fair maidens; but cheer up, ladies,
the gallant James will return again
whsn he has made e. home over there,
and take some one of you to live there
with_ him.
A FIRE,—On Tuesday afternoon last
a flee broke out in the barns of M. Jas.
Fanson, of the township of Hay, about
halA a mile from Zurich, and consumed
the ,barn and its contents, which con-
sisted of hay, grain, implements, tbs.
Mr. Fanson's father being the only per
son about, succeeded in saving alithe
stoek, with the exeeption of a heifer and
calf, at the risk of his own life.
P-
A. Poor Look Out for Butter.
Judging from the following paragraph '
which we copy from a recent issue of 1,
the ;Montreel Gazette, those who were
expecting to realize large prices for
th* butter this season, -will stand a
chance of being disappointed. The fole -
lowing quotation presents a very gloomy
picture :
"Advices received by mail from Eng- .
land concerning butter were of such a ;
disastrous nature as to create quite a
paeaicky feeling in the trade in Mon- ;
treal. A letter from one of the largest .
firing 'in. London, dated March 17th,
say e : 'Butter is in an awful mess in
thia country; no reduction in price
leads to business. The public sales ill
Liverpool at 42s to 508 do not help us.
We have not moved fifty packages dur-
ing the past four weeks.' Another let-
ter from Liverpool of same date to a
firni in Montreal says: 'Unless we offer
yo.]r batter without reserve at the pub -
ii
lit , '
ales we cannot get rid of it: Still
an therfrom Glasgow says: 'The but-
ter market is in a worse condition than ;
we have known it for many years.' :
Already account sales have been re- :
mired in Montreal which net the ship-
per- only 10c per pound, and upon those .
goods which remain unsold OH the other '
sid$, it is feared still heavier losses -must ,
ensue. That the situation is critical -
ma, be gleaned from the fact that al- --
rea y reclamations have been received
in 1t1ontreai for goods recently sold in
England. It is some alleviation, how-
ever, of the pain to know that others .
are, =sharhig the distress with us, for we
understand New Yorkers are worse off
than ourselves, and that rather than ;
give their stuff away in Greet Britain
sozne of them are ordering it back to
swell the enormous piles of grease Agit,
tered around in New York city. What
they will do with it on this side, with
the extra return freight added to cost,
is eti: enigma to many in the trade.
Poisibly it is intended to go into some
art'
nit
ficial compound and. be shipped out
ag in in a renovated form. A =sbort

butter had been ordered back from
Li erpool to New York, and now we

a.mations have been bothering New
k and Chi sago shippers in an aggro, -
ed. form of late, and that in fact the
es are among the heaviest ever ex-
ienced in: the trade. In this matter
there are round lots of butter held on
conntry account, which' the oweers re-
fused to sell some -timeago at 22c that
to a:y would not fetch 150 per pound.
TMs is holding old butter for a eise, and
caijching a fall with a vengeance. It
wa generally remarked that the losses •
note being sustained would teach a
salutary lesson, and be a. caution in fu-
ture against speculatieg in this slippery
article, belt judging from the past we very
mUch question it.'
A ease which has been before the law
ooitrts for nearly four years was flintily
