THE DURATION OF TSE ASSE11iItiLY.
To the Editor of the Exeter Times.
DEAR SIR, --In a former letter of
mine which you were good enough to
pnblieh, I expressed the opinion that
the present Legislative Assembly of
1 Ontario would be legally dissolved on
' the 2nd day of February instant, and
could not ovist as a legislative body
after that tithe. My opinion bas since
been corroborated by most of the pro-
minent legal members of the Conserva-
tive side in the Local Parliament. Mr.
Bethune, who is gouorally an excellent
authority on all suell subjects, expres-
sed an opinion founded on tlio 92nd
section of tbo British North American
Act, that the Laical House had power
to enact a law to extend the duration
of that body to an iudefiuite time. The
wording of that section 'nearing on the
point is as follows :-
Seo. 92. " In oath Province the
" Legislature may exolasively make laws
" in relation to matters owning within
" classes of subjects next hereinafter
" enumerated, that is to say :
" 1. The amendment from time to
" time, notwithstanding anything in
" this Act, of the Constitution of the
" Province, except as regards the office
" of Lieutenant -Governor."
In the first plane, no amendmeub to
the Constitution has been made, so
that the law stands precisely as I inti-
mated.
In the second plaoe the word amend-
ment has two different significations--
one an ordinary and the other a legal
definition. In common parlance it
might moitn adding, changing or omit-
ting, but in law;,it means only the cor-
rection of a fault.,
Now we will assume that it was used
in the sense of changing, or alteration
-what would bo the effect 2 Why,
'the whole British North American Act
would be a dead letter ; not only could
the duration of the Local House bo
extended;but a body of Custom House
officers might be established, imposing
citifies on goods coming from one Pro -
"ince into Mother ; a local postal and
militia service instituted ; different
weights and measures and a different
currency adopted ;-in fact, the whole
powers of the Commons of Canada
invaded and its laws set at defiance.
It would also give power to the present
Assembly to further increase their in-
demnity to any sum they chose and
enjoy it for any time they saw fit. It
is quite evident the amendment to the
Constitution mentioned in the B. N. A.
Act aas not intended to be used in this
sense, but merely the correction of
errors. Limiting the duration of Par-
liament can by no special pleading be
construed into a fault, but a valuable
i,.lfeguard for the liberties and rights of
the people. HURON.
certified to by the nearest oolleotor of
onstoms or Justioo of the Peace. The
oustoms authorities here and at Winni-
peg demand an invoice of all goods
coming in bond, that they aro the pro-
duce or manufacture of Canada.
Yours very truly,

A new Methodist church is to be
ereoted on the 7th concession of God-
erioh Township, near the Orange Hall.
One night last week a number of
drunken men, the majority of them be-
ing known as members of the Melbourne
gang, visited the tavern kept by Mr.
Thompson in that village, and because
he would not allow them to do as they
pleased, they set upon and beat him,
and smashed his furniture, glassware,
&o. Warrants were issued by Squire
Peters for the arrest of four of the par-
ties, and on Satruday County Constable
Pope, of London, took two of them
into custody. They were bailed to ap-
pear for trial. The constables are in
pursuit of the ringleader and his accom-
plice, both of whom are well-known in
the vicinity as hard oases.
CALL at the first Drug Store and procure a
bottle of Gray's Syrup of Red Spruce Gum for
coughs, colds, &c. We recommend its pur-
chase at Drug Stores of respectability, as there
is an attempt to place in the hands of the pub-
lic an article under a similar name put, up in a
similar style, but of a white milky appearance
-the gennine being of a dark brownish -red
colour. It is a wretched imitation, and should
be at once rejecied.
WINTER'IN MANITOBA.
Editor 1 taus,.
DER SIR, -Probably a short sketch
of the Manitoba winter weather in your
columns might not come amiss to some
who intend coming to Manitoba or the
Northwest. Since the first of Novem •
bar there has not been any weather
that could ho called disagreeable. Near-
ly all of November was dry and warm ;
on the 13th the thermometer raised to
76, while in Ontario, I understand, you
had it very disagreeable, with rain and
any ama.nnt of mud. The latter part
of the month the winter set in with a
light frost, and kept getting colder
until New Years (32 ° below zero),
whiots was about the coldest that wo
havi6 had yet. There has not been any
raid .or thaw until yesterday, the 26th
January, when it turned soft and rained
a light shower all day. Now and then
we have a light fall of snow, but I don't
thick we have an inch to the foot that
there is in some parts of Ontario. There
is hardly enough to make sleighing.
While those storms were raging in
Ontario, no doubt many would pay,
what kind of weather most there be in
Manitoba and the . Northwest, when it
is like this here, 'thinking at this time.
that it must be a dreadful place, while
at the same time it was nice weather.
I will not attempt tosay anything
about the country, as. I think Mr.
Greenway and others have given au
indisputable account of it.
I will add a few words that, might be
of nice to those :who intend bringing
`took, fnaohinery, &e:, :into the oiitan.
