ELECTION of a member to represent
the vast Constituency of Saugeec in the
Legislative 1 Council is • an event of no
ordinary importance., The constituency
is composed ofthe Counties of Bruce,.Grey
•.itrid Blume -all comparatively new, and
.from, their geographical position having
important, lict not infrequently -conflict-
ing latexes* which a good legislator must
seek to advance or recondite, as the case
may be.. tWhen ho present agitation

had not the slightest doubt of the tri- Priage o an /order, the shake of a _guide's

drawal of the support of many who were
hit firm sapporters- at the last election.
Now, as haraaa nature is at present eon-
atitteted, nething can be easier than to
rale', an ouicry agginst a- mati who has
teen in Parliament for a few sessions,
,
especially ifhe represents a constituency
like the Sangeea DiVision. No action
that he-ean PoAbly take will be palatable
to all sections, and it is equally fatal to
exercise can/ioa an& abstain from action,
for in that-ce.se he - alienates the zealous

in getting. out of the vessel, and managed to
crawl into tbe lobby of the house, where his
groans aroused the inmates. - He was found
to be dreadfully burned, the skin peeling off
his back when the removal of his clothes was
attempted. Every assistance was rendered,
but•he died afterlingering' about 16 hours
in great agony.
A frightful accident took place a few days
ago, at Sto.ckholtn. ,An engineer, named
Nobel, the inventor of submarine mules, had
established in one of the suburbs of that city
a mapufactory of nitroglycerine, •having dis-
coveeed a process by which that- fulminating
.composition could be used with great effect
in mining operations: From some unexplain-
ed cause, an explosion- took place in the
manufactory, and the building, with some of
the adjoining houses., were Oonfpletely de'" 1DU1(SETANT to a po.ver ofsal contained in a

others dreadfully wounded.. One ot the sons
of M. Nobel is among the former, his body
having been found at it considerable distance,

have been swept over by the .devonring ele-

destroyed; and in many cases even the vege-

t e underlying strata of clay or rock.: The
vipry gime which furnished a portion of their
food has perished or disappeared before the
fires which have left a great extent at the
forest a charred and blackened wilderness. -
