As another evidence of the danger o
tolerating an irresponsible governin
body and the mischief they sae capabl.
of doing, we reproduce the following
extract from a letterwritten by Hon.
Mr. Jolt/ to 'a:Quebec paper. It speaks
for itself.. Mr. Joly says :-
" I ara sorry to have to state that

SEAFORTH, OCTOBER 17, 1879.
The Quebec Irresporisibles and
their Ontario Apologist.
. In pleading the cause of the Quebec
irrespousibles, the chief organ of the
Ontario Opposition, with charming in-
nocence, remarks; The Quebec Legis-
lative Council has in fact only echoed
4' the voice of the people." in what
manner it has "echoed the voice of the
people," the organ does net deign to tell
its readers, for the very goodreason, we
presume, because it cannot. If the
fact of the action of the Coupon in re-
fusing the - supplies, and thus causing
-the dead -lock, being condemned by a
majority of the people's representatives
in Parliament assembled is a proof that
they "_echo the veice of the people,"
then we have such proof. Or, if the
more forcible protests of the people
then3.selves, naade manifest by resolu-
tions, eteideinning in the strongest pos-
sible language the conduct of the Coun-
cillors, can be taken as proof that they
are carrying out tb,e wishes of the peo-
ple, then we have even that. Or, again,
if the fact of the =don of each mem-
ber of the Council, individually, being
condemned by the people of the respec-
tive districts they are supposed to re-
present, aud members themselves being
asked by the people of those districts to
resign, ce.n be taken as proofs that they-
.
echo the voice of the people, then we
have also this additional proof. Bat if,
on the contrary, all these t ngs go to
prove, as we think they do, that the
Legislative Councillors are acting in
open oppositiou to and defiance of th
wishes of the people, then the organ i
making a statement such as we hay
quoted above, is endeavoring to deceiv
lute absurdity.
A CORRESPONDENT Of the ;Clinton .Neze
• Era has been visiting New York and
seems to have been quite oyerwheloanecl
with what he saw. On returning to his
"native tOwn;" which We pres.ume to be
Cliutou, he is quite "saddened" by the
contrast which its "terrible deadness"
presents in comparison witl the bustling
.activity he saw in the grea4 city of Nevi
York. This correeponde t ought to
know that in the nature of things every
town and village can't be a New York.
There are hundreds.of tOWIIS and vil-
lages in New Yolk State and. in New
England ten times deader and duller
than Clinton, notwithstandin that
they are located in the United States,
where, according to this correspondent,
"all is life." Evidently this travelled
young man is a bigger fool. than 'many
who have stayed at home.

THE QUEBEC Chronicle gives forth
cheering news from that Province. In a
recent issue it announces a serious de-
fection in the Conservative ranks; not
only at/1012g the Legislative Council,
who are restrained from going over to
the Liberal ranks with the greatest
difficulty. Leadirg Liberal politicians
declare that on :the re -opening of the
House they will h ve a majority of six.
They claim that the • whole Province'
will be astounded vith the result of the
first vote, as grea changes have been
effected in the rei ds of some of the
leading English 1 onservatives by the
success of the num rous meetings 'held
by the Government aud by the obstinacy
of the Legislative outwit.

at Nevem, Ireland, last Sunday. Over
twenty thotisend were present. The
town was beautifully decorated with
triumphal arches and flags, and the en-

was very enthusiastic. He was met on

procession to the place of meeting. The
meeting was presided over by a justice of clearance was witnessed by several

conclusion of the Chairman's speech
Mr. Parnell delivered a lengthy ad-
dress, in which he advocated e Tolley

also the abolition of landlords and • the
tooting of the people on the soil. -During
the delivery the people were fraatic
with excitement, and many threats
were made against the landlords. At

two second-class oars, and there was
where the terrible carnage took place.
The rear one telescoped through the ,
first one and the one behind went
through both, killing and maugling the
occupants.
It is, however, miraculous that only
15 deaths are known te have resulted.
There were none in that car, however,
that escaped death or serious injury.
Back -of this there were none hurt, as
the force. of the collision carried. the
entire wreck along several rods, and the
rang line of rear cars lost the greater
force.of the shock and kept on the
track. None in the sleepers were hurt
—indeed there•were many iu the sleep-
ing coaches who did. not even wake up,
and knew. nothing of it until the morn-
ing. The wreck of the five cars °mu -
:pied a space along the track 6f less than
two- cars length.
The work of getting out the dead and
' wounded was at once comniensed by
the railroad employees and others, and
continued throughout the night. Near-
ly all the wounded had friends among
the killed, and the moans of anguish
from the poor sufferers were agonieing
beyond description. A . full corps of
physicians and surgeons and. many no-
ble a,dies were busy in the night and
in the morning making 'the wounded as

• Interesting Breach of Promise

James Blair, a well known wealthy
citizen of London, was on Thursday of
last week, sued at tne Assizes in that
City for broach of promise, the plaintiff
being M. M. Woodman a single woman
of G-oderich. At the time of making
the acquaintance of the girl, the defend-
ant was visiting with Ler father in the
Township of Colborne, County . of
Huron. The plaintiff was a young
woman of good repute and gentle birth,
well educated, and in every respect the
equal of defendant. In March 1876,

Breach of
-- The Toronto Telegram, which always
has something good, says on the above
subject: Breach of promise suits are
getting fashionable again. . It looked
for it while as if they were going to die
out, but they come round in, their sea-
son as regularly as the measles, or the
man with the hand organ. An effort
was made in the British Parliament
not long ago to abolish the Act by whicht
a breach of promise to marry is made
an actionable offence at civil law; but
although the feeling was pretty strong
in favor of abolishing it, the conserva-
tive nature of the British Parliament .
prevented any practical steps being it

in favor of abolition is that a woman
who has been jilted has lost nothing,
aud has sustained no damage, as if she

another. But, on the other hand, it is
only fair to sayethat if a man courts a
young woman and. allows himself to be

Blyth Show.
' The show under the auspices of the -
Morris Branch Agricultural Society,
held at Blyth, on Thursday aad Friday
last, was a very successful affair. •On
Friday the fine weather brought out a4.
immense concourse of people. Judging
by the receipts at the gate, there must
have been at least 3,000 people on the
ground during the day.. The show was,
on the whole, the best ever held in
Blyth. The fruit, roots, and dairy pro-
ducts - were especially good. The tur-
nips and ma.ngolds were the largest we
have seen this year. Therewas also
an excellent show of horses, a good
show of sheep, a number of good cattle,
some fair pigs, and a large array of very
handsome fowls. The following is the
