If we can believe the papers opposed to the Grit Government, the Opposition candidate will be returned. 0n the other hand, the organ of the Govern- ment is at its old tricks of trying to throw dust» into the eyes of the electors, by calling hard names, such as Tory, Corruptionist, etc. We take it, after the cipose made of the "big push” letter, that the least said about the Pacific Scandal the better.

The progress ofCauadu is ajust theme f‘o'r congratulation. In population, in arable land, in manufactures, and in all the essential requisites for social Comfort and political power, the Dominion has advanced in greater ratio than must other colonies of the British Empire, and today occupies a proud and lofty posuion, says the S.

When stntchi‘eh is Oflbis kind are made it is always well to have at hand evidence in their support; and fortunately a volume has just been issued which furnishes ample matâ€" erial fOI-doing this. Itis the fOUl'll) volume ofthe census of 1871, and contains a digested statement of all the censuses which have been taken in the countay from 1C65 10 18’”. The Canadians have bad along time to wait for a complete record of their last Census; but the value of the present docu- Thc Rev. C. H. Spurgcon is reported seriously ill. His place in the Taberna- clc’pulpit has been filled by other mi; nistcrs. Rev. Jacob Spence, Secretary of the Ontario Temperance and Prehibitory League, leaves this week on a visit to the Old Country. Hon. Mr. Laird is expected to leave shortly for the Ne'rth West Territory, on important public business connected with the organization of the new Pre- vincc of ch’vmtiu. It is reported in Ottal‘va, that a con- vict, recently hung in New York, by the name of Trotter, confessed to having shot T. DlArcy Magoo, in company with Whelan, who Was executed for the minder. The Hon. Edward Blake leavos for mcnt will make up in some measure for the inconvenience of the delay. It is generally admitted that the census efl871 was very defective, and that in many cases the returns Were utterly unreliable. Sufficient data, however, are furnished for a fair comparison between the two periods named; and as these embrace 'a stretch Of over 200 years it may be seen at Once what rapid strides the country has taken. - The first regular census was taken in 1665, at which time there was a population of 43,215. In every succeeding census lli‘cre appears to have been a. steady increase, until, in l871, the Province of Ontario and Quebec al’one presented a population of 2, 812, 367, and, adding to this the number of inhabitants in New Brunswick, Nova Scoilu, and the other provinces which have simfe been ad- mitted into the confederation, the tolal pop. ulatlen 15 found to be about 4,000,000' With this growth Of population there is pre- sented an equally pleasing picture with re- ference to land cullivated, agricultural im- plements, farm produce, manufacturing pro. ducts, and the general woulth and ‘comfort of the people, It is really a fair picture to look A despatch from Port Perry announces the death of Mr. Ad‘am Gordon, M.

A correspondent of a London paper who visited Home a few weeks ago, gives the following opinion of the Pope’s health, whi'c‘his confirmed from other sources: “I saw the Pope the other day.

I It is recorded that a gentleman residing in one of the largest towns in England, whose face exceeded Ordinary dimension,was Waited on by a barber every day for twenty- one years without coming to a settlement. The barber, thinking it about time to settle, presented his bill, in which he charged a penny a da , amouliting in all to £311 65 9d. The gent einan, supposing too much charged, refused to pay th'e‘ ainouut, but agreed to a proposal of the barber to pay at the rate of £200 an acre. The premises Were ,accordingly measured, and the result was that the shaving b3'l was increased by £73- 88 8d; ' __‘ -. LL... P. M. APPOINTMENT; ‘.

ONLY A COUNTRY WEEKLY. It is only a country weekly 1 Yes, that is all. But do those who allude to it with an intentional slicer ever reflect upon the duties and mission performed by the poor, obscure country weekly, which is as flinch, hay, more, to its few hundred readers in the Country, as is the great metro olltan daily to its thousands of rehders h the city? Oh, no; they never think of placing any estimation upon the worth ‘of a country "paper; it has none within the narrow limits of their superficial and contracted brains. They will not admit of the utility of any form of a newspaper save one, which is crammed full of telegraphic dispatches, giving the minute details of some revolt- ing and nauseating social scandal; the hour at which the Chamberlain of the imperial palace at Ispahan put his most serene and mighty highness, the Shah, to bed ; that the savage Gallas of Abys- slnia had abjured the tenets of the Cop- tic faith, aud had, bowed down in edema tion at the shrine of Mecca’s prophet ; that the poor, unoffending Papuans of the Celcbes were being slaughtered by the Dutch invaders from the neighboring isle of Macassar, and so on, in an infinite variety of detail, all of which is read with an avidity that betokeus the im: porta‘ncc of these things to a city gentle- man. But the financial, commercial, agricultural, religious and social condi- tion of the millions of his fellow-citizens residing without the environs of his mighty empire of a few miles in area is a sealed book; he has Dover opened its pages to enquire within; he knows nothing of it; put him to the test and you will find he knows more about the condition of the Berbers of Northern Africa that) he does about the people in the neighboring county. We turn away from the contemplation of this human superficiality, of which there are thou- sands, to turn to the practical and com; inon sense man, who wishes to be in. formed as to the pursuits, condition and prospects of the p'ee he of his oWn im‘ mediate neighborhpb. . He finds in the rural paper the information he seeks. The country Oregon is to him the camera lu‘cida Which faithfully portrays all that occurs; it is in a great measure the re-' flex of the character of the people com- prising the country wherein it is uh: lishcd. But what is the interest w i‘cli even he derives from it, compared to that wb1ch is felt and entertained by the country people themsellves ? It is every: thing to them: ]n it is found news which they alohc, probably, can appreci‘, ate and understand ; information regards lng tbeirlfricnds and neighbors, the (zone dition of the creps and market quota- tions, which, to the farmer and trades- man in the Country, is of primary inl- portan‘cc‘; inattch of local consideration wherein they are interested, and a bun- dred ‘and One different things which affect and interest them, both privately and publicl . The country organ pur- fb‘r‘ms ahel or function which eat) bill}? be effectually dene by it. As a lfledlulfi for advertising, it ofiers facilities Which are unsurpassed. By it the farmer, the laborer and the mechanic become ac- quainted with the goods and warcsef the tradesman; they learn where they can purchase what they desire, and at the lowest prices. The county news; paper is to a County what. nutritious food is to a convalescent; it helps to build it up and developc all that is good in it. The county that is without one is like a waste plain without elevation; froth which a person desiring to examine the. surroundings can make no obser- vation+Ec British and Foreign.
