No man in» the Province of Ontario has, individually,done more, (if as much) to promote the.interests of his fellow- subjects than the Rev. Dr. Byerson; we believe him to be a patriot in the true sense of the term. His successful elforts in the cause of' our Common and Gram- mar Schools, alone, gives him ajust claim upon the gratitude of the present as well as future generations of this Province. We have differed with him on the ground he took against our na- tibnel University, and would regret to see his efforts in that direction succeed ; yet, with this exception, and one or two matters of minor importance, we feel that it is but just to him to say, that he has rendered much good service to the public. We have perused a small pamphlet of thirty-live pages recently published by him, entitled “ The new Canadian Do- “ minion ; dangers and duties of the “ people in regard to their government; ’ it is'a most able and truthful defence of the “ Union"euuse, as against the in- sane factiousness of Mr Brownfs old party howl; it should be printed by tens of thousands, and distributed broad- cast over the length and breadth of this Province, In order that every individual may become familiar with the true state ol'mattérs, as they now stand between the'triends‘nt Union, on the one side, and George Brown and his black bottle brigade on the other. We recommend our readers, by all means; {0" eecure a. copy of the Dr's pamphlet; and read it czref‘ullv. sacrificed; to gratify the ambition” of one' mam It is only a few years ago that v.“ r. Brown and his Globe broke up the Reform partyâ€"drove its beloved chief to a premature grave; and for years has devoted his energies to ruin the political standing ofevery public man, whose shad- ow darkencd his path to power and influ- ence. He has only succeeded too well, and has the eifrontery to gloat, ghoul- likc, over his “path strcwed with dead men's bonesl’ This is the man who cleims to be dictator-in-chief to the poli- ticians of'thc Province of Ontario. We indulge in the fond hope that the elec- tions, now so near athand', will bring M r'. Brown to a proper sense of his mad folly, and convince him that, although he has struck: off: the heads of leading politicians, riven the Reform party asunder, and strewed his “ path with dead men s bones_" he can never more lay claim to the confidence of the reflecting and in- telligent men who formed the marrow and muscle of that great party, which has accomplished so much in the past history of our country.. Wserioua,,it. cm the permitted to have the Union cause trifled with by a few enthusiastic friends of Mr. Grahame, in_ one corner of the Township ofVaughan ; we care for the man,.it is the cause we go in for; and whatever is calculated‘to endanger it we shall oppose, whether it is palatable or not. H 0 know that Mr Grahame has become exceedingly unpopular through Vaughan, since he was elected one of the Deputy Reeves of the Township, in January last. and he will find the truth of our statement next Municipal election Go the contrary, Mr. Tyrrell is popular in his own Township, he is 3well and favorably known in Vaughan and Etobi- coke, has done good service to the coun- ty as \Vardcn,a11d was a candidate for the Riding once before, when he polled a large vote. We are quite hopeful of success if the contest is left between Tyrrell and Bull. but if Mr. Gr ahame will persist in going to the poll, there is no doubt, in our mind, but that the anti- union candidate will be returned ; if this takes place we will have M r. Grahame and his few friends to thank for throwing the riding into the hands of the Brown faction. The' Leader of the 8th inst. gives an account of ameeting held in the little village of Burwiek, on Tuesday last-at which Messrs. T yrrell, Grahame, and Bull, the candidates for the Local Legis- lature, were present; the whole thing is ‘ bounce ” on the part» of Mr. Grahame‘s friends in and about his native village. It appears that the meeting was held in Mr. Wallace 8 building; Mr. T, F, Wal- lace acted as chairman, and Mr. C Wallace as secretaryâ€"how many more little Wa.lace s took part in tin proceed- ings we are not informed, but judge that all the \‘r allace’s "held up both hands” When the vote was taken. There were “two hundred hands being held up,” big and little, in favor of Mr Grahame The whole affair laughable, when read by those who know the way sucn thin as are managed at Burwick; it is a farce that is certain to mislead unwary elec- tors, at a distance, and may tend to create divtsnn in the ranks of the friends of Union. No wonder Dr. Bull should speak in flattering, terms of Mr. Gra- hameâ€"when he is only hastening on the Dr.’s election, and the success of the Brown cause The Leader is ‘unfavor to M r. Tyrrell, on personal grounos, and prefers Grahame for this reasonâ€"but we have a good opportunity of knotving that, of these two, Mr. Tyrrell is the only man Who has a chance to carry the riding against Dr. Bull. To call it a a “public meeting of the electors of Vaughan," remind-s us~of the proclama- tion of the three Tooley-street tafilors: “"We,> the people of Englandlf’gmaid the knights of the goose “ and shears -r so with our merry friends in the little hamlet o“ Burwick : we, “the electors of Vaughan 1“ say Mr Grahame’s playmatesin and around Dr. Ryerson‘s Pamphlet.

It is a with a feeling of much satis- faction we learn that during the Fenian raid, many of our Volunteers who turn- ed out so Inobly in defence ofour country, availed themselves of the prlvilege ex- tended to them by the Ofiicere of the Association of the use of their rooms and library during their stay in Toronto. The number of members in connection with the society are one hundred, viz: 90 active, and honorary, and 2 life'mem- bers. Not being governed by a selfish policy, or a desire to confine their be- ncvolentexertions to the limited circle of their Own reading rooms, Committees have been formed for the purpose of Bible and Traet distributionâ€"etc keep in active opperation a City 'Mlssiofiâ€"to visit the Hospital, and to assist in en- “ During the year just closed there have beer. held 17 business meetings, and the growing wants of the Associa- tion have demanded increased attention from the Ofiicers and Managing Com- mittee. ’I here have also been held 27 devotional meetings, at 13 of those meet;- ings papers were read as follows : â€" On “ Reading and Working," by Mr Ehbsâ€"on “ Beauty.” by Mr. Robertson -â€"â€"â€"on‘ The Christian‘s assurance of ac- ceptance with God,” by Mr. Woodyatt ~on “ The temptation of Christ,” by Mr. Goulding on " I‘IOspital Visita- tion,” by Mr. Kingstoneâ€"on “ Music," by M r.

Two evenings were occupied in hearing the Reports of the Delegates to the Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations held in Albany in June last.” No young man can identify himself as a member of such an Association, and take an active interest in its proceedings, without realizing a developement of latent talent and the aquisition of much valu- able information. Our attention has been called to the Third Annual Report of the Toronto, Young Men's Christian Association Inlloolimg overits contents, we think that the truly benevolent eiforts put forth during the past year, are ofa very commendable character. 'I he officers and members in connection with the Society must be of the' most energetic and persevering class to accomplish so much, with such limited means. The object for which the society was organ- ized, is one-of the best, and one which should meet with the approbation and obtain the hearty cooperation of all who desire the elevation of the religious, moral and intellectual character of our young men. Man is rather a creature ot' impulse then of reflection, he acts,. and too often has to reflect 'in sorrow. Thousands of our young men prove the truth of the assertion, they enter into our large Cities, mingle with the mass-â€" are carried with the tide v the current glides swiftly onâ€"~they become oblivious of the flight of timeâ€"of talent misim- proved and of “ reputation gone,” and when within the outer circles of the moral maelstorm, awake to find them- selves shipwreckod as regards all. that is worth living for. To prevent as far as lies within their power,rresults so unfor- tunate is the object ofthe members of the ‘ Young Men‘sk hristian Association. The inducements offered to those who have‘ suflicient good sense to avail themsolves of them are certainly tempting. The rooms of the society situated on Yonge Street, No. 151, are open daily from 8 o’clock- a.m., to 1-0- p m», free. Once there-and, you have no lack of literary matter. A library containing a choice selection of books, to use Lord Bacon’s ,WmMmted, otherswto, be swallowed, and more to be chewod and digested,” invite your attention. To these have been added 274 volumns of ‘ new and interesting Works daring the; past year. If the visitor’s inelination‘ leans towards periodical literature, there access to it is easy. Variety being pleas- ing, there lies before him six daily news- papers, 30 weeklies, 19 monthlies, and 2 quarterlies,enough to satiate the most inveterate seeker after ‘some new thing.. But intellectual measures of a passive character are not the only ones resorted to by the energetic members of this As- sociation, to aid in the acquisition and ex- tension of’knowledge. We can in no \va convey a better idea of the manner in which the time is spent than by making the following extract from the report ‘whiohlies before us :~â€" It affords us much pleaSure to announce to our readers, and the nnlnerous friends of the Rev. James Dick, Presbyterian Minister of this place, that he arrived safe in his native land about the middle of July, and is in the enjoyment of excellent health. We run the risk of being accused of selfish- ness in adding that we hope soon to se: his honest face amongst usagain. An advertisement in another column an- nounces-the opening of the Gl‘mmnar'and Common Schools of Richmondhill, on Monday next, the 12th inst; we trust that, as the Grammar School is free to all pupils from any part of the county, there will be a good attendance at the commencement of the term. The Toronto Young Men’s Christian Association. Opening of the Grammar School. Rev. James Dick. The greatest fire that ever was in Cana- dian oildom occurred here last night, com mcncing about eleven o’c ock. There was a manâ€"some say a boyâ€"who was running the engine at Lane’s well, and it was about time for him to leave work, and for another to come on. In going for his mate, he held the lantern over one of the oil tanks, for the purpose of looking to see how much oil was in it. While doing this the gas took fire, and, in an instant, the whole tank was In flames. There was over 400 barrels of oil in this tank; and another, containingr 800 barrels, was in close proximity to itâ€"the two being about eight feet apart. I arrived at the scene about twelve o’clock, and work- ed with a will, until the eyes were almost burned out of my head with the heat, which was of the most intense description. In trying to save some of the oil out of one of tl‘e tanks by means of a pipe. the pipe leak- ed. and the terrible heat from the burning tank set the oil on fire on the ground. Quick as lightning, the fire flew back to this tank also, and in less than a moment, it was all a mass of flames. Then came the tn: of war, I never saw. such a grand awful sight before. Down the creek went the burning, across the road to the Kingr Well, to the rear of Noble’s. It was truly a ma- jestic sight. Now you would hear a boiler burst, and fly up, then one of the tanks would burst, and between the fire and the people running like hunted mice, it was a scene I shall never forget. In order to get a bird’s eye yiew of the conflrgration, I ascended about half way up into a neighbor- ing; derrich. Just as I had got comfortably seated, bang went Marshall’s boiler, some portions of which flew past me, and had rather a bad effect on my nervous system. After satisfying myself in the derrick. down I came, and went across to Peter Taylor’s well, (No. 1). It was on fire, its tanks had burst, and the oil was rapidly backing up behind Smith’s blacksmith’s shop. I feared the consequence more and more, and procur- nd a spade and Went and damned up' the drain leading to our water tank, and our well is safe. At this time the fire was at its height, not a breath of wind, and about 15 acres of solid flame. When the burning oil was running down the creek, and the whole square in one blaze of fire, then the current of air came rushing in. You could feel the air brushan past you like a tremendous whirlwind. The leaves of the trees even. were all drawn close to the branched, and the branches close to the trunks. The air was rushing; from all directions. and in the centre of the vortex the whirlwind took the smoke up to the heavens like a roll of wool, and then it would take fire, presenting the appearance of an im- mense fiery serpent, whirling up about 300 in the air. The hissing and seething was awfully grand, and' the super-headed steam, generated under the oil, would burst forth'again and again, resembling the can- noade of artillery guns. It is hard to esti- mate the'entire loss at nresent, but I think that 50,000 barrels of oil have been con- sumed, together with $20,000 worth of pro- perty, comprising engines, derricks,l,tanks &c. The effect ofthis immense loss will be to send up the price very considerably. PETROLIA, August 5.â€"Anotl2er terrible fire occurred here on Saturday night in fire flowing wexl district; caused by a lamp igniting a tank of oil. The fire spread over an area- of twenty acres, consuming in its coarse twelve wells, and burned about 40,000 hole. of oil. The prixcipal losers in the fire are the Noth Eastern Oil Com- pany; Lincoln-Oil Company ; and the well of J. B. Ryliert, St. Catharines; John D, Noble of Kingston; Messrs. Gode’ich & Marshall’s Well ; Edwin Laue, ‘ and E. H. Thompsnn & 00;, whose well is still flowing and burning at thesame time. The loss is estimated at. nearly one hundred thousand dollms.

The French papers have lately described an engineering project, of which the model would be as remarkable as anything now to be seen in the great [nternuionul Exhibi- tion, while the work itself would be u new wonder of the world. Instead of the long tneditttted tunnel beneath the Channel, a French engineer, M. Boutet, now proposes to build a. bridge ncross it. The h:i<l;e, according to the published scheme in the Monitcur, would be broad enough to h )ld a double lme of railway, a carriage road, nnrl a path for foot-passengeis. There would also be Space for a row of shous along this Dover and Calais road which, once estulr lished. would no doubt become a very pop- ular thoroughfitre; and need we add that half way across there would be a restaurant and cafe? The bridge wou!d rest on a series of thirtv-two vertical rectmgulnr iron piles, each pile to be 200 metres in height, ‘uud 100 metres in breadth. The depth of the Channel between the two points selected is found to be not more than from thirty to thirty six metres, so that the lllldi'e would be about 170 metres above the level of the sea.& In layinor down the bridge the first step would he to connect the iron pics by means of' sixteen cables (f plate-(l wire. stretched in parallel lines from Shakes- peare’s Cliff on the E‘irlzsh side‘of the Channel, to Cape Binnc Nez on the French sidcâ€"-a. distance of thirtythree kilometres (about twenty mies.)

The_ following abstract of the electitiii law has been prepared by an eminent legal authority, and will remove some doubts which have buen started by sevcml curries- nondents:â€" The qualification of Parliamentary elec- tors is defined by the Blst serlion ut' the Municipal Actof 1866, to be as follows:â€"~ The owner or occupant of real property of the actual value, In cities, of . . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . $600 In towns, 01' V . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 400 In villages, of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3th In townships, of . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . . 200 Besides possessing the requisite property qualification, the elector must have been entered on the last revised assessment roll, from which the Voter‘s list is prepared. In municipalities where the assessment roll of 1867 has been revised, it is the duty of the Clerk to prepare the voter’s list from this roll, and if completed by him and fired With the Clerk of the Peace one month he- iore the date of the Writ for the election, such list is the proper one to govern who are electors. Where this has not hot n done. the voter’s list will be that prepared from the assessment roll of 1806. Whether that should have been prepared on the old quali- fication or on the now, gives rise to a ques- tIOILOf some uncei minty. By the 427th sec. _Act of 1866 (which introduces the new qualification, the provisions with reference lto the qualification of electors and cnndi- ldates are postponed from taking either until latter the lst of September, 1867. The Aet contains distinct provisions with reference to the qualifications of Municipal and Far» ‘liamentary ele ctors, and also as to the mun ‘icipal candidates, and the first part of this 427th section applies expressly to “muni- cipal candidntes,” and following the usual legal rule of construction, according to the maxim “nascttur a sociis,” it wouid seem that the electms and candidates meant by this section are municipal. The voter’s list, when finally revised, is final and con- clusive, and no question of qualification can be raised at the election, but of the identity only of the voter with the elector, whose name is on the listâ€"Globe.
