In 1878 a commit- tee, consisting of Messrs Black, McMill- an. needy, Keine, Leckie and the time Wardeti, Mr. Charles Girvin, was appointed to visit the Houses of Refuge at Berlin, Waterloo County, and Elora, Wellington, County. At the Waterloo institution it was found that there were some 90 inmates, only three or four of whom were capable d doing any work, the remainder being idiots, lame, blind, sick, &c., and a few small children. The original coat of the farm and build- ings was $26,000, and the average cost per head fur keep was found to be but 73itc. per week, or $38.13 per annum, exclusive of outlay for permanent im- provements and interest on capital ac- count. The Mayor and Reeve of Ber- lin, the Clerk of the Council, and other influential men of the locality state that aftet a practical experience of the work- ing of the Waterloo Poor House, during the past eleven years, and while laboring under the difficulty of having to admit a large number of inmates, who would virtually belong to other counties had they Poor Mouses, they would not relinquish the privilege at present en- joyed by them of having a Poor House in their County. Similar testimony was adduced in connection with the working of the Wellington County House of Re- fuge, and the necessity for a Poor Houses, from an economical and humanitarian standpoint was fully demonstrated to the special committee. It is high time that the County of Huron made the necessary effort Tat Pacific Railway Bill passed its -third reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday, on a vote of 128 to 40. GI the members for this County, Cartwright and Cameron voted against the Bill, and Farrow for the monopoly. Thomas Far- row will not sit in the next Parliament Arleta having paid some $28 in fines and costa, and having been published all over the country as • cowardly black- guard, Mr. J. C. Greco, of Lincbiay, must feel pretty sorry that he ever tackled Barr, of the Post, one dark night, while the editor was unprepsred ter hen. Bruisers who run agaitua press men generally come to grief, if we except the solitary case of John Beverly Rebinaon, who got a Lieutenent-Governorship. Arms a forty-two hourssitting of the British House of Commons, the Speaker refused to allow any more members to ad- dress the House, and insisted on a divis- ion. The obstructionist motion to ad- journ was defeated by 164 to 19. The Home Rulers thereupon left the House, and the Government motion to bring in Forster's Bill was unanimously agreed to. There is much excitement over the Speaker's action, and Parnell threatens impeachment. THE London Free Preis of Menthe had along leader with the opening sen- tence, " The great Syndicate battle been fought and The Free Prue is sadly astray. The battle is yet to come off. An indignant electorate will fight to place itself abreast of the D • re" the matter out at the polls in 1883. The gressive Counties of Waterloo, Well- ballota of a free peoplc will have to be ington, Norfolk, Middlesex, York and counted before the battle of right against other districts which have taken, might, and patriotism against polition and are taking steps to orovide for their corruption, can be said to have been deserving poor. A statement from the c impletel; and we have no fear of the various municipalities of Herne for 1877 meet was presented to the Council when matter was up for discussion before, anal IN this Canada of ouns, every r nan i. more or less posted on political affairs, and nearly every man is ready to give a reason for his political belief. Men who are silent on almost 'every other topic talk more or less about politics. Of course all are not eloquent. Fluency is the gift of the few, and not of the raany. A large number excuse themselves for speaking poorly from the fact that they " cannot think upon their legs." Per- haps the fault is that they cannot think clearly at all, or that they do not read up thoroughly. For every hundred men who declaim upon the matter of the Syndicate, both for and against, perhapa one has taken the pains to read both aereements, and all the speeches in Parliament em that occasion it was shown that there were 78 persons eligible for the privileges which a Poi. House *forded ; and this, too, when the municipdities of Ashfield, Hayfield, Blyth, Hay, Howick, Morris, Wingham and Wrozeter, which had dispensed in the aggregate $969.10 in charity during the year, represented that they had no poor. The total am- ount expended by the municipalities of the County during the year in question was $4,305.41, and from the figures given by the Waterle, and Wellington Poor Houses, it can be easily seen that a House of Refuge for Hunm, fully appointed in every particular, and capable of giving same tO the deserving poor of our County, could be carried un at a greatly reduced cost to the ratepayers of the County. At the present tiine tne County tied is utilized for the keeping of the lame. the insane, the halt and the blind, when stricken with poverty, and if our County Council would take into consid- eration the fact, as well as the enormous aliment expended in the aggregate by the different municipal councils, we are of pinion that they would not keep hack t heir ormownt te the erection of • public institution whish woeld confer benefita upon their suffering fellow creature.

A fluent apeaker, a close logician, Mr. Blake supplute that is so painful a want on the Conaervitave aide of politics -the honor of an Irish gentlemen. One of the very foremost lawyers in the Domain- iote his speeches show him to be a man et literary acquirement and versatility of powers. His habits of labor had compjeted, in our acceptance, the ideal of a man calculated for the leadership of a political party; lest we still feared that certain traces of vacilla- tion and certain defects of manner would have marred the effectiveness of his leading. But the power of waiting which he has shown in what we had re- torted, in misapprehension, coupled now with the capacity for graspieg • fatal error of his enemy in the &tab of a very Henry of Navarre, hoe revered Wen to us a man who may well have been chosen chief, as Saul was, became he is a head and shoulders above there all. The contract with the Syndicate has already cost the Government its hold upon) Ontario. It bas aaved the Oppo- sition from the disadvantage of fighting the battle at the strong point of the enemy -the so-called National Policy. Marching past that, it has opened the conflict where the ground of the Govern- ment is untenable; and having thrown open the whole question of the Pacific Railway as it never had been before, has brought it into public discussion which will aerial* drive Government from office at the next general election. And the Iriableaudies whose pride and sympathies would have gone over, even if their ballots had net, to the Hon. Mr. Blake, will rally now to his standard as one man, is reprobation of the infanious attempt to hand over their sons who may have settled in the North West and those of them who may follow by and by., to the tender mercies of an association of money -grubbers armed with an imoontrollable power of trans- portation-texation. -Irish Canadian. assume Beagles el the Peeler ltaitway On the motion for the second reading of the Pacific Railway Bill, Mr. Anglin raised the objection that the Bill should be withdrawn, as it went beyond the resolutions passed by the House, and upon which it was professedly bard. The resolutions only pruvided for a grant of $25,000,000 in cash and 25,000,- 000 acres of land, whereas the Bill pro- poses to give the Company privileges and exemptions, besides a clear gift of 128,000,000, already constructed, or 10 be constructed. Mr. Anglin cited Eng- lish precedenta, and he was supported by Mr. Mills, who also held that the Bill exceeds the resolutions, and that there- fore Parliament is not following the rules laid down for its guidance. Sir John Macdonald held that the contract, in all ita bearings and clauses, had been discussed in committee, and that, therefore, they must he held to be included in the rrasolutions. The Speak- er concurred, whereupon Mr. Millf said, "I suppose THIN DECH•IiiN vent, All'EAR IN THE NE- VORDN, so that we may know who is responehle for giving away $28,000,000?" The House divided on the second reading, and 1 should judge that the di- vision was not expected, for when the cry of "call in the mernlhers" was heard, two of them, Messrs. Wallace, of Nor- folk, and Haggert arose and bolted in- continently. The motion was carried by 106 to 46, there being no conversions from either side. Among the Western members who vot- ed in support of the contract were Ar- kell, Boultbee, Carling, Coughlin, Drew, Elliott, Farrow, Henson, Jackson, Re- vert, Kranz, bine, Macmillan, McDou Merner, Orton, Patterson (Essex), Platt, Plumb, Robertson (nankeen)) Shaw, Sproule, Stephenson, Welke; (York), White (Cardwell).

A Wag-- manta Itakeed., Upon the information of Henry Willoughby, laborer of this town, Esther McPherson was brought on Tuesday . last, before His Worship, Peter MoDon ald, M. D. Mayor, charged with keeping a house of Mame in contravention of a by-law passed on the first day a Septem- ber, 1879, having for it. object the sup - Premien of disorderly houses and houses of ill -fame in the teen of Wingham. Henry Willoughby being sworn, proved that he owns the house kept by Esther McPherson, rented it to her, lives close by, saw parties outer and leave Mali hours, heard quarellings and noises at all hours; and had shewn still more intimate knowledge of the house being of the character testified by him. This testimony as to the character of the house was corroborated by Fanny Clark. a former inmate of the house for six weeks, an acknowledged prostitute herself. Esther McPherson, not deny- ing the charge, was fined $20 andilAnn$4.2fi costa or twenty-one days in jail. McPherson, supposed to be a daughter of the former, and proved, by the com- bined testimony of Henry Willoughby, Fanny Clark, and Chief Constable Dav idson, to be a prostitute and an inmate of the house of ill -fame kept by the woman, Esther McPherson, was convict- ed and fined $10 and $4.25 costa, or '21 days' ileprisonment. Wm. Webb, form- erly of Harriston, a habitual frequenter of the above house of ill -fame, was lipmi the information of the said Willoughby, charged with that offence, together with the additional °nee of insulting, assault- ing, and beating him, the said Willough- by, in his own house, of all which of- fences the said Webb confessed he was guilty, was fined $4, together with costa amounting to $4.50. We understand that the fines and costa will be remitted to the ',Innen if they will leave Wing - ham forthwith, which they promised they would. It is not a very pleamnt reflection to be aware of the fact that our town should be so abominably in- feeted with women of ill -fame.

TLe funeral was in Sunday when a large circle of friends followed the remains to the cemetery. We are also called upon to chronicle the sudden death of Moses Hunter, who died last Sunday, after a brief eines'. He was buried on Tues- day, the Orange Young Briton lodges of Brussels and Ethel attending in regalia. There were about 60 rigs in the proces- sion, Morris. This community was greatly surprised to hear of the unexpected death of Mrs. Geirge Forbes, which occured last Sun- day niorning. She had gone to bed Saturday night in apparent gnod health and died early Sabbath morning. Mrs. Forbes was a member of the Melville Chnrch. The funeral was on Tuesday and was largely attended.

Any one can see at a that raising horseflesh is a profitabfeilli7 vestment, at these figures, and we should be pleased to see many more of the fanners of this county turn their atten- tion to raising • better class of this stock. In no branch of farming has such great progress been made of late years, as in the improvement of horses, and there is still room for progress. It is a high compliment to this county to know than when American buyers of either horses or horned stock visit the Domin ion with the object of making purchaaes, they invariably come to the county of Huron, apparently knowing that if there is any good stock to be had it can be procured here.
