CURRENT TOPICS.
E. 1B. Osler, of Toronto, writes the
Buffalo Times, thatit will be foolish to
bank much on the annexation of Can-
ada as "annexation can only be effected
by the force of arms."
The Government intend to amend
the Superannuation Act, so that here-
after the rate deducted for salaries
on that account shall be 3i per cent.
on eateries above $600, end 3 per cent.
on $600 and under.
The report of the Militia Depart-
ment states that 21,484 men will be
drilled this year. The output of am-
munition at the Government cartridge
factory, at Quebec, last year was 1,800,-
000 rounds.
Sir John Thompson was a Protee-
tent ; he is not. D'Alton McCarthy
was a Governmeut adherent; . he is
not. This is a free country ; equal
rights for a11, special privileges for
none.
The American residents in the
Sandwich Islands have obtained con-
trol of the Government and want to
annex the country to Uncle Sam.
Other powers will have something to
say to that. The people want native
rule or an English protectorate. But
Uncle Sam has landed then from U. S.
chips to anppoft the usurpers. Yankee
grid will get nipped if not restrained.
Among the accounts received by the
Dominion Government in connection
with • the erection of the Canadian
building at Chicago, is one in which
the following items appear: One second -
handed stove, $22; 20 links of stove-
pipe, 25 dents each : one poker, 35
cents. Then the purchaser had to pay
$3 for cartage of the same. The N.
P. may have made Canada a dear
country to livo"in, hut there isn't a tin•
smith in it who would not be gratified
to receive ono•half the above prices.
It may be taken as a little bit rough
on the Grits that the gentleman who
moved the address in reply to the
speech from the throne is an ex-secre•
tary of a Provincial Reform Associa
tion, but it is a practical illustration of
the fact that the rule, "evil cominuni•
cations corrupt good manners," has at
least one exception.
A Lower Province member in dis-
cussing last week of the High Com•
mie.ioner's office in London spoke of
the writing of 15,000 letters per year
as a mere bagatelle, and hazarded the
asset Lion that he writes as many as that
himself. A little calculation within
the capacity of a primary school
scholar would show him that if he
worked 300 days each year and ten
hours each day he would have to write
a letter every twelfth minute. It is to
be hoped that a gentleman of such ex
treme epistolatory tendencies hires
somebody to lick hie stamps.
Mr. 11 Webster, of Kinlose, was mer
rigid leaf, Wednesday to Miss Lizzie Lena
of the same place. Mr. Webster is well
and favorably known and hie many
friends extend their congratulations.
Mr. J. weheter, son and daughters
Gracie and Maly, of Lucknow, are visit•
ing frieuda in Stanley and Goderich
townships.
Bayfield.
Thq house oocupied by James T.
Sturgeon, the property of Rev. Mr.
Ryan, took fare Sunday morning and
was burned to the ground ; said to be
•fully insured. The fire was caused
by a defective chimney. Moat of the
household efforts were kat. Lose on
house, $400; on contents $300.
The Globe is in a bad way. Be-
cause the Governor General did not re-
fer to the Mounted Police of the Cana.
dian Northwest the leading Reform
party organ says :—"The Northwest
Mounted Police might as speedily as
convenient be disbanded." The Globe
of course don't take much stock, in
military mattere. During the Reil re-
bellion several years ago, the govern-
ment, according to the Globe, was re-
sponsible for the uprising and that wo
should have no active force at all.
And that when we had the force and
tho trouble our troops :Should be
transported through American torri•
tory, &c., &c. Now the great grit
organ wants to do away with the
Northwest Mounted Police. No re-
gard is evinced for the safety or pro•
tectiou of our people there. But then
we suppose that the Globe will not,
after all, prevent a necessary protec-
tion, a standing protection and menace
to rapine and murder.

DEAR Stet,—I herewith hand you
cheque to cover my indebtedness to
you. I was not aware I was so far in
the hole; or you should have had your
money before. I may add, your paper
has greatly improved- the last three
months. It is not as they say out west
a "go its you please race, or get there
when you can." There is still one
little change that should be made.
Long may you live to hold the fort and
may you also see the error of yonr
ways (politically.)
Yours turly,
Iwo would like to please all people, and especially
the shove writer. But wo could novor change our
polities. You know it would be like detorting
heaven to secure a place In hades, But all people
nuts[ have their political opinions. That 1s no
reason, though, why a staunch Reformer should see
nothing good in 'rna Haws Rncoao.—EDITOR.I

Menil1Aoe,--A very pleasant affair
took pine° et the rbeideace of Mr.
Alexander Roes oo Wedut•eday evening
of kat week, being the lilai1jage of his
eldest daughter to Mr. Robert Boyd, a
prosperous young farmer end worthy
member of L. O. L. 813, McKillop.
The ceremony was perfottued by Rev.
i1r. Musgrave in the premier) of
iuvited guests to the number of about
100; the bride wee attended by her
sister Mies Miry Rosea, and the groom
was assisted by his brother Mr. David
Boyd. A largo number of beautiful
and expeueive preaeute were bestowed
to the youug couple. The supper
which followed the ceremony was
bountiful and nude up of the choicest
delicacies 'of the season. Mr. Boyd
and his amiable young bride are an
excellent couple and belong to two
or the finest families itt the towne'hip;
wo juin their many friends in wishing
them n long, useful, prosperous, and
happy life.
Another marriage took piece on
the sante day at the residence
of Mr. Christopher Muldoou, when
his daughter, Eliza, was united to
Mr. Adam Sholdice;the ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr. Riley, Eng-
lish Church minister of Brussels.
The wedding gilts were immense, the
guests wore numerous. And there was
-a good time all arounr'. The young
couple intend removing to Manitoba in
the early spring. We wish thein
many years of happiness and prosper-
ity.
The roads in McKillop which run
north and south are all badly blocked
with °now.
The t,ortti gravel road leading from
Seaforth to Beussels is so full of pitch•
holes that many of our lady friends
will not veutureout ou it. They will
likely however try and make up for
lost time when spring arrives.

highly appreciated by all present. At
their next meeting they intend to
bring up a gay youth for assualt and

A REPLY..
To Me Editor of The News -Record.
DEAR Stn,—My attention has been
called to ¶graph in your issue of
last week regarding the case of the
Queen vs, Alex. Caldei , which is erron-
eous and misleading. It states " that
upon examination of the first witness
the case fell through." The facts are
when the first witness for the prosecu-
tion was called, Mr. Campion for the
defense objected to the indictment,
claiming that as the prisoner had not
received the money on the 19th Novem-
ber (that being the day on which he
left the country) he could not be held
responsible on this charge, as 'the
money had been paid Calder previous
to this date by the witnesses who were
there to prove it. His Lordship, Judge
Doyle, agreeing with Mr. Campion,
the. prisoner wits therefore discharged.
Mr. Lewis, Crown Attorney, asked
leave to amend the indictment, but
was not allowed. As regards Calder
bringing an action for damages, hiS
anxiety to try and have the matter
settled in order to gain time enough to
leave Goderich is sufficient answer to
that part of the paragraph. If he is
willing to sue for di nrages we
will pay his fare froin Grand
Rapids here, and if he gets jus-
tice he will not need his return fare for
some time. The whole paragraph
looks as if written for a little advertise-
ment hy an interested party. Hoping
that you will find space for this in your
valuable paper, I remain,
Yours truly,
A. MCMILLAN.
