Tus Municipal Committee of the On- tario Legislature has thrown out the rleuse in Mr. Waters' bill to amend the Assessment Act, which proposed to abolish the statute labor tax in laver of a commutation at the rate of $1 per day. There would have been profit to the municipalities in the eflange. �..— __— THE Imperial Government was defeat. ed on a motion protesting against Gov- ernment protection of the opium traffic in India, but that will not put a atop to this iniquitous trade. There is too much money in it for the monopolies whieh control the poppy fields of India to let a little thing like that put an end to culti- vation. Some day the English will have to answer for the abominable traffic which they forced upon China for the money there was in it. J0DQ1C0 from appearances the pros• pecte are that the Dominion Parliament will have its hands full of solid work this session, Already notices are in of 126 private bills, including half a dozen for divorce, compered with a tote] Last sea. sion of 70, and a few soore more are cer- tain to come in before the expiry of the first ten lays after the session opens. It is understood that the time for receiving petition's' for private bills will not be ex- tended this session, as has been usual in past years. TSB report that Italy intends to take the last possible step in a hostile course short of a declaration of war against the U. S., is extremely improbable, as the Italian Government bas, since the with- drawal of its minister, shown by on - mistakable signs that it is sensible that in taking that action it moved too pre- cipitately. The American Government has acted courteously, and has apparent- ly done all that is within his power to do, constitutionally, to satisfy Italy, and the Italian Government is probably aware of the fact before this time. Italy bas not money enough for domestic purposes, not to speak of huge sums to throes away en a war of revenge. _— THE bill to consider and revise the .Pablio Schools Acts, now before the On- tario Legislature, teethes seine changes in the dates on which the usual vaentions begin and end. In townships the first term of the teaching year is to begin on the third Monday in August and end on the tweuty.second day of December, while the second term is to begin on the third day of January cud end on the thirtieth clay of June. In cirrus, tures and incor- porated villages the first term is to bogie on the last Monday of ' ognst and end on the twenty -eructed day of December, and the seoond term is to begin on the third clay of .lametry and end ou the thiritieth day of Jnns, with holidays during the week following Easter Sunday. Owren to the lateness of the session of Parliament it would not be surprising were the district camp, usually assembled in June, not held until September this year. The necessary appropriations San hardly pass the Commons in time to per- mit of proper arrangements being. made for the June camp, though, no doubt, memos might be devised f:,r forestalling the trotion of Parliament, should it be deemed imperative to ass Tale the damp at the usual season. 70 view, however, of the agitation for an anneal drill of the W11010 force, t:nd .d the. disposition ot the Militia Depen .neat to scours this as soon as possible, it has been suggested that the militia might reap considerable benefit from awaiting Parliamentary action be. fore arrangements for the year are notate. Tus first petition in oonneetion with the Peer nt D .minion election was filled with the clerk ot the Court of Appeal Monday. It was the petition of Jamas Muir against the election of Alexander i1.MaNuill, the Conservative declared elect• ed for North Bruce, The ground of the protest was that votes were illegally cast and Oonnted by the returning olfloer for McNeill, then bribery was resorted to, that an illegal number of votes exceeding 110 were Demoted for McNeill, that the deputy returning officers rejected votes properly tendered for hector A. Bonner, MoNeill's opponent, which were rejected, that persons who were not British enb• jeots voted for McNeill, and that treating and other corrupt practices Wore resorted to by IMMc14eill and his agents. The pati• tion was filed by M. G. Cameron, of the 1110 0f Mesnr8, ]toss, Canneren ik ?cic' .Andrew, Steen the general election there have been nine eonteets--eight for the Login - latent and one for the House of Com- mons --and in cash cuss a Liberal tete been the victor. The four byo.eleotions in Prince Edward island have reauloed in the down fall of the Tory Government, Every Province in oho Doriniou, meant British Columbia, is therefore ruled by a Liberal Administration. • TIM. POST is of the opinion !hat the I Council did perfeotiy right ie arranging a contract for the eontinnanee of the electric light on our streets. The figura asked and greeted corresponds very fav- orably with that of surrounding towns, the advantage being rather in our favor. Mr. Sinclair agrees to change the hang. ing of some of the lamps by which they will be brought to the centre of the street and thus render better service, The townspeople, as a whole, commend the action of the Board, we believe.

The Presbytery of Stratford met in Knox church on Tuesday, and sustained the call Rev. T. Cosgrove, as pastor of the first Presbyterian church, St. Marys. The induction will take plane in May. J. W. Wilkinson, who went home to St. Marys from Winnipeg at eleotion time but owing to being delayed by a snow drift arrived too late to poll his vote, is recovering from a severe illness caused by contracting a cold during the journey. A horse belonging to F. Soxon, Regent street, Stratford, was killed on Saturday afternoon. It became frightened while tied near the old Port Dover statim(, and running away broke the shafts off the wagon, one of whieh pierced his heart and the horse dropped dead. The scholars and teachers of St. James' church Seedily school during the six weeks of Lent agreed to make eelf•Denial offerings. and bring thein ou Easter Sun. day. This they did. The amount was over $52 ; one half was given to.al.issiou• ary work, the other half to the work of the church here.—St. Marys Journal, A Mrs. Scrimgeour, of Stratford, ao• oo wpattied by her little girl about flee years of age, spent Sunday in Mitchell with Mrs. T. McLaren in the west ward. 00 Monday morning the lady and the little girl were on tb, it way to the early train for home, driven by Mr. McLaren's youngest eon in the buggy ; and when near the woollen mill the front axle of the buggy broke, throwing the occupants onb upon their faces on the frozen ground. Mrs. Sorimgeoor had one arm broken and dislocated at the elbow and was bad- ly out about the face and forehead. The little girl had one eye badly datnagod and the aide of her face terribly braised. They were both conveyed hack to Mr. MaLwren's home, where they still re- main, getting on quite favorably under the eircumstauoes. Three members of the family of the lata Mloheal S1103, of Logan, have died within the peel year. The latest is the suddest of all. Patrick, a premising young man, .who lived near Brandon, Manitoba, met lois death on March lath, under inoipfnl circumstances. He went to Oak Lake for some supplies, and on returning home a few stove pipes fell from bis slsiell. While he wont baoh for them he left his horses standing on the prairie. During his absence they ran away. The snow was so deep the young fellow was unable to overtake them, and he wee 00 tired after a run of about half a mile that he could proceed no further and laid down in the snow un - tit next morning. On daylight setting in be saw a house aboub a quarter of a mile distant, to which he crept upon his hands and knees. His Boobs were found to be so badly frozeu then he was sent to St, T3nnifare hospital, but he did not aur• vivo long. 001r,—The funeral of Rev. Thomas Macpherson, of Stratford, whish took place lash Tuesday afternoon, was largely attended, although the weather was very disagreeable. He died at bis late rest. denim on Sunday, aged 80 years and 8 menthe. He was the founder of Knox Presbyterian church, Stratford, and re- mained its pastor for 28 years.

This los succeeded to doing, and soon, throttlib his inclofatig. able labors, the congregation had a 5000. fortablo churoh, capable of seating about 800 people. This soon became too smell and a gallery was adcled,lbut the need for a larger ebruolers became urgent as years passed by, arid iu 1872 the fine large church on Ontario street was etectecl, whieh stands today as a monument to his long and efficient services.

Ball, brother el H. Ball, Otto oon., died at hie home, near Uxbridge, of paralysis, aged 02 years The deceased was in good health, having worked on Monday. The stroke was first felt on Tuesday morning, and the deceased soon lapsed into unconsciousness, and died as stated above. He was an old settler in that locality and. by industry end frugal. ity, had been prospered to a degree not often reached by persons engaged at farming. The funeral took place on Sat- urday afternoon, Rev. Mr, Roberts, Meth. odist minister, preaching an appropriate discourse to a large congregation. Mre. Ball and eleven ohildo en survive the bus. hand and father. Mr. Ball, of this township, and G. L. Ball, L. D. S., of Toronto, ,itaended the funeral. The sub- ject of this notice was well known and enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of friends. About 8 a. m. Sunday at Teeswater what might have been a very serious fire was discovered in time. A neighbor dis- turbed at that hour saw from his bedroom windovd fire dropping in the rear part of Fowler's brick block (occupied as a tailor's work room) from the ceiiing of the first door to the floor. The alarm was quickly sounded, and the firemen with their apparatus were soon on the spot. The fire was in the seooud storey, and the dense smoke gave the firemen considerable trouble to locate the exact spot. When this was done it was found to have started in the dark room of Photographer Askin, and instead of turn- ing on the hose and doing great damage to the property, with wise discretion pails were filled from the hose quiahly, and with hard work the fire was got under control. After it was extinguish- ed brews of the ever -to be execrated fire. bug were found, plentiful quantities of coal oil having been poured on the floor and around the baseboards of the photographer's room. The fire fiend must have gained entrance from the hall- way on the street, which had been left unlooked. Mr. Fowler's loss on the building is slight, telly covered by in- surance in the Royal. Mr. Askin, the photographer, had no insurance ; bis loss is also slight. Why Not Do Your Own Thinking? Bnuestens, November 5th, 1550. J.
