MARCH 18, 1880. Bringing Them to Time. Although part of the Reform press still insist that the National Policy has proven a failure, the facts do not bear out their assertions. If they cannot realize that this Policy is benefitting, or will ultimately largely benefit this coun. try, then they are greatly behind our friends in the United States, who clear- ily see that such is the case, and that it ‘is being done, at their cost. The imâ€" ‘portatious from that country has fallen off a third or so, since the introduction ofthe National Policy, and there has 3been a corresponding increase in the importations from England, thus plainly showing that the Policy discriminates ’in-favor of British connection. Our 'cousins across the line are not slow to see when their interests are menaced, and now we have Mr Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, a prominent and in- fluential banker Writing to Hon George Brown, urging that gentleman to exert his influence in favor of a commercial union between Canada and the United States. It would certainly be a very desirable thing to have free trade be tween the American people, but there «are many other matters to be considered in connection therewith. The action of 'the Philadelphian banker shows which ‘way the wind blows,â€"if nothing else. It shows that the Canadian market is considered of great advantage to the United States, and that when the North West is settled, across the lines, would like to have the contract for supplying the inhabitants with the necessary implements, etc. A Reciprocity Treaty would suit Canada the manufacturers there is no saying what our neighbors will! next I propose. Previous to the Iint'roduction of the National Policy the “Canadians were supposed to just calmly submit, and be thankful that it was no worse. But it now appears that Cana- Adians can retaliate with high duties, and the dose proves a very unpleasant one Tor the manufacturers in the States. If ~that Government is desirous of securing better trade relations with Canadians, we have no doubt but that the Canadian Government will do all that is just and right. in order to secure such. The British Parliament. The sudden dissolution of the Imperial Parliament, as announced in our last issue, has proved a complete surprise, not only to the constituents of that body, but apparent- ly to the Whole world. Cahlegrams and telegrams announce that Europe as well as America is anxiously attempting to fore- cast the result of the elections. Even Canada, we have country papers fiercely attacking Beaconsfield’s actions, and calling loudly upon the British people to prove true to their interests by returning Gladstone and his party. Well, if they just keep steadily on, they may eventually upsets old Dizzy's calculations, but our Country editors will have to throw their whole soul into the work. Of course these critics and adVIscrs are quite competent to judge and estimate the utility of Lords Beaconsfield’s Foreign Policy; they are quite conversant with every move on the chessboavd of European politics; they know all about the Afghan and Zulu wars, and Beaconsfield is a stupid, weak, trembl- ing creature, who has just fallen into a mess, because he had not the courage or ability to keep out of it. Our country friends are welcome to abuse the Premier of Great Britain. He will not feel it much, and will care about it less. Probably.too, he has not. held his posiIion for six years, and taken part in political affairs for over fifty years without learning a little about how the Foreign and Domestic Policy of Great Britain should be conducted. Lord Beaconsfield and his able Ministers stand a very good chance of again holding the reigns of power, and there is no reason to fear that they intend boring a hole through England and sinking it for a few years yet. in many BURIED Auraâ€"Last year a married woman, in Barrie, was troubled very much with neuralgia in the head and in order to relieve her a medical mun injected morphin into her arm, the effect was that she never spoke after, and It was supposed she was dead, after keeping the body for three days she was buried in the MethodIst burial ground; and now a number of per- sons are employcdtin removing the bodies from the old ground to a new cemetry . lately purchased by the Wesleyan Metho- dists, and Cl] opening the grave of the we- men above alludvd to, the coffin was found , burst open and the body turned on its side, showing clearly that the poor woman was buried alive. and her sufferings in the tomb must have been terrible. We refrain from giving names, as it is considered advisable .LO kcrp the sad affair from her iclalions. osr OFFICE NOTICEl \becn very satisfactory.

The Annual report of the Minister of In- land Revenue, contains a report from Prof. Edwards of Montreal. on “Food and its‘ adulterations.” In 71 samples of Milk he found 47 genuine, 18 adulterated and 6 doubtful. The quality of milk has greatly improved, owing to the publicity given to the ahalysis. In 57 samples of Butler, 59 were genome, 21 adulterated and 7 doubtful. Butter is adulterated by excessive quantities of water and salt. In 36 examples of spices, 9 were genuine, 26 adulterated, and I doubtful. American sugar appears to have deteriorat- ed. Redpalh’s sugar are superior to the average qualities both of the American and Scotch sugars. In 31 samples of sugar 25 were genuine, 3 udulterated and 3 doubtful. The practice of adulterating tea appears to have almost ceased, as in 20 samples 13 were genuine, I adulteratcd and 0 doubtful. Out of 6 samples of Baking Powder 5 were found genuine, and [doubtful -- DEATH OF MR. HOLTON. The Hon. Luther Hamilton Holton, one of the oldest respected mem- bers of the House OfCommOns. died most and most awfully sudden On Sunday night last, He seemed in the best of health during the day and night, and only complained of feeling unwell a few minutes before his death, which was caused by heart disease. He leavesa widow, son and daughter to mourn the loss ofa good husband and kind father. Mr Holton was a warm supporter of the Reform party, and is deeply regrett- ed by his many personal friends on both political sides. M arkham. From the Economist Mr John Boyd, of Whitevale, has bought the Puncher corners, Iielford, and is new advertising for tenders for the painting, plastering. etc., of a new hotel to be elected thereon. A little girl, daughter of the Rev D E F Gee, of Aurora, accidently swallowed two one cent pieces one day last week. The coppers stuck in the Wind pipe and the ef- forts of two doctors failed to dislodge them, and there seemed every likelihood of the childs starving to death if they could not be Iemoved. For over two days little Gertie took no food. On Sunday she asked her ma for a drink and immediately after taking the water, spoke aloudâ€"the first time since the accidentâ€"and said“ ma, they have gone down,” which proved to be the case. The coppers are now lodged n the child's stomach. WANTON CARELESSNESS.â€"-Our young men are sometimes reckless enough to shoot atamarkwithin the limits of the village Corporation, in defiance ofthe law for prohibiting the same. Last week Chester Lehman, a more lad. was indulg- ing in the reprehensible amusement with an old American musket, which carries a hall 15 to the lb. The ball went. through the mark and struck the ground near Mr Mortimer’s residence, and recochitting, passedthrough the walls of the kitchen and bedroom and lodged in the opposite bedroom wall, passing within a. few feet of Edith and Mrs Mortimer, who were In the kitchen. It Is to be hoped that the narrow escape will be the means of in future preventing this reprehensible amusement. NE WMARKET From the Reformer. CAI'NIVAL.â€"A skating carnival was held .in the rink here on Tuesday even- ing last on behalf of the .Newmarkct band The ice was In splendid order, and the rink was beautifully lighted up. The array of masqueraders was not very large, but the rink was thronged with spectators, and the redcipts must have The fun was kept up till a late hour, ere the people returned to their homes. STAr LODGE, U T A.â€"-The attend- ance on the regular meeting nights of the above Temperance organization for the past while back, has been exceeding- ly good. We are glad to be able to re. port that new names are constantly being , added to its membership roll, two initia- ' tions taking place last meeting night,and more are expected to join on Monday evening next. FIrE.â€"â€"â€"On Tuesday evening, about seven O’clock, the fire alarm was scund- ed for the first time since the Autumn of 1878. All three engines turned out, when it was discovered that a house he- longing to Mr Carycll, on Mill street, was in flames. A steady stream of water soon reduced the fire, and all danger was over in a short time. The building, however, was so much damaged as to be not worth repairing. Large Fire At Barrie. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS Loss. BARRIE. MARCH 15.â€"A fire broke out about four o’clock this morning, de- stroying 11 G Bigelow’s hotel,thc Singer Sewing Machine ofliec, L B W'arnica’s jew’ellery store, \V C Penton’s fruit store, John VVood’s drug store, and C II Clark’s Dominion Telegraph and: express Office, all with the exception of Bigelow‘s being a total loss, estimated at over $20,000. The origin of the fire is not known. The Latest DIDWS. W A rupture has occurred between France and Madagascar. 'l‘he Utes, assisted by the Mormons, are causing trouble in south-eastern Utah. Lord Derby has issued a letter publicly announcing his adhesion to the Liberal cause. Gen. Melikoff is relaxing the severity of the repressive measures adopted at St. Petersburg. " The electoral campaign in England is1 very active. Numerous meetings of both» parties were held Monday night. The Queen will, during her coming visit to the Comment. meet the German Emper ed dangerously S. MEAsLEs.â€"â€"This contagious fever is very preVuleut at York Mills, on Yonge Street, about 10 miles south of this village. The School children in nine- teen families have been attacked, and in consequence the attendance at school is very small. COAL ITEM â€". SELECT PARTv.â€"â€"A Social Assembly will be held at A J Collins, Thornhill, on the evening of Easter Monday. Ad- mittance only by invitation. music will consist of 1st. and 2nd violin, cornct and piano. HORSEs FOR MANITOBAâ€"On Thursday last, Mr E Kelly, of Maui- toba, brought six good looking horses into this village from the north. He 1n- formed as that he had purchased thirty- two animals, most of them heavy, at prices averaging 885. The greater num- ber of the horses were bought up to- wards Orillia, and are Intended for Manitoba. Mr Kelly left Thursday for Toronto, where the ani- mals will be shipped to the North-west. ANOTIIER DEATH FROM SMALLPCX. â€"‘Nc are informed that Miss Catherine Hilts, died on Saturday last, roui the small-pox. She is a daughter of Mr John Hilts, who lives on lot 27, 3rd Con. of Markham, and it will be rtmcm~ bered was mentioned in our last issue, as among those patients who were consider- ill. This makes the fifth death from the virulent disease' PORTRAIT PAINTING.- We were shown on Saturday last, a small oil painting, of the late John Palmer, sr.. father of the proprietor of the Palmer House. The painting is about 8inx12in in oil colors, and although copied from a photograph, presents a very natural and lifelike appearance of the subject. No person, even slightly acquainted with the late Mr Palmer could fail to nope. the natural appearance of the painting. It is a very good effort. and when finish- ed will no doubt evince greater skill on the part of the young artist, Master Ashford Wright, a brother of Mr John Wright, Carriage Builder. .TENI)ERS.â€"-Tendel‘s for the new church are called for by the Building Committee of the C M Church, for the work required in the new building. Plans, etc., can be seen at Mr Harri- son’s Richmond Hill, from March 23rd until March 30th, and at Charles A \Valton’s, architect, 19 Union Block, Toronto, from March 31 to April 7. See advertisement. We believe they in- tend shoving the work ahead as fast as possible. The stone foundation of the old church is to be moved to the new lot and utilized for the church. There is about 115,000 brick on the lot at present, and the intention is to have 150.000 there by the end of this week. It is all purchased from Mr Wm. Powell of this village, and is of a superior qual- Ity. CHANGED IIANDS.-â€"-Mr John Pal- mer has sold his stage line and livery. Mr Wm Proctor purchased the livcrv and two or three stage horses. Mr. Thompson of Thornhill, purchased the stages and one or two horses. Herc- after persons wishing to go to Toronto, will go by the Railway, as the Yonge Street busses will be discontinued on and after Monday 25nd inst. We are informed that Mr T Iompson intends connecting with the I Ill by Yonge St. but do not know if he has definitely do- cided to do so. NEW STREET.-â€"Thel‘e is some talk about Opening up a new street. in this village, at the cast s do of Yonge street. The intention is to continue Church street, from Skecle’s lot. where it now ends, through to the side road south of Duncumbs properly. This would give a frontage on the east side of Church Street to the lots occupied by Messrs Gamble, Moody, Hopper, Trench, Cos- grove. Chamberlain, Pollock, and Dun- cumb. On the east slde it would give a frontage to Mr John Palmer’s farm. We understand Mr Palmer is willing to give the necessary land for opening the street for $400, or he will give $400 if the parties owning land on the east side Ol'hIs farm will give the land. The suggestion is a good one, and could not of village lots. We hope they will look at the matter reasonably, and let the street be opened . DIED AT THE IlcsFITAL.-â€"-Our readers Will remember that some months ago we published an item about a young man named Jerry Dunham being seri- ously ill Willi congestion of the lungs, and stated that he had gone to the Toronto Hospital, in hopes of being restored to health. The disease was too firmly seated, however, and on Sun‘ day evening last, the 14th inst., death ensued, and Jerry’s sufferings were end- ed. He had no relations in Canada, and although efforts have been made to in the States, they have not been suc- cessful. He was well liked by those who were acquainted with him in this neighborhood, and his friends will be grieved to learn of his decease in the spring time of life. COUNTY LIQUOR LICENSEEâ€"«License District of West Yorkâ€"The dlffel‘elll’. municipalities in the \Vest Riding of the County of York have passed by laws increasing thefcces to be paid for tavern and shop Licenses as follows :â€"Muniei~ pality of Parkdale, $175 for tavern licenses, $100 for shop licenses ; Munici pality of Richmond Hill. tavern licenses $150 ; Municipality of Vaughan, tavern licenses $100 ; Municipality of York, 2580 for tavern licenses ; Municipality of Etobicoke, $00.

A FINE-LOOKING RIG.-â€"H Sander- son & Sons are having a very attractive looking and commodious wagon built, for the purpose of carrying their In . ,falhble Oils and Balsam of Life around the Q’OUllll'y. The vehicle is got up in ,= good style and is strongly as well as ad-l, Inirably constructed. Mr John “fright, is the builder, and the wagon is estimatfi ed to cost about $900. ‘ i l YOUNG WARMANBIEâ€"Mr John; l Palmer has purchased this celebrated , , entire Coach Horse. He is acknowledg- I to have no superior in his class, in Cana- da. He will travel in his old route this , season, where to appears to be the gen-{ oral favorite. '1 his horse comes of good ' sleek, and has been successful in secur- ing prizes, diplomas and medals, when 1 ever shown. The farmers in this neigh- 1 borl.Ood will be pleased to learn that he l will not leave his old district. The ad-l vantage of raising stock from such horses l cannot be too highly appreciated. ' LADIES AID SOCIETY.â€"The last meeting of this Society was held at the I rcsidenceof Mrs. Parker Crosby, on Monday evening last. The attendance greatly exceeded that of any former meeting, there being about 230 persons present. Over $26.00 was collectcdj from those who sat down to tea. The, usual pleasant time was enjoyed in various ways. many of the young people playing “forfeits," “pussyâ€"wants acor- ner,” etc, while others devoted them- selves to a pleasant chat, checkers, the 15 puzzle, parlor quoits, carpet balls, etc. The whole of this large and com- modious house was thrown open to the visitors, and nothing was neglected that. could possible assist in making the people enjoy themselves. It was even a source of pleasure to sit. down and quietly watch the many happy-looking, faces in the crowd. The Ladies on the Committee, did a good afternoon’s work in the sewing rooth,‘and seemed really anxious in the evening that every one should spend a pleasant time. As a, matter of course, such being their object every one naturally did have a pleasant time. and when the hour arrived to do- I part for home. we only regretted that‘, the time flew so quickly. The next: Social will be held at the residence of Mrs Wm Storey, on Monday evening when we hope to see a large attendance I l l l l | I l l l _â€"4°o-» “7m Bolton, arrested for passing, counterfeit money, escaped from Orillia L lockup on Monday night, March 1..

Now, why is it. that if any benefit Is derivable from such meetings, none exists in South York.

DEAR SIRâ€" The Liberal man says he publishes a paper; agood, moral, upright sheet, and he accuses the Aurora Liberal Con- servative of falsifying because that journal said there were two papers in Richmond Hill. All this is very child- Ish. bombastic, etc., I know, but the Liberal man likes it. and in order to 'show what a live, fresh, enterprising paper the Liberal is, I might mention that in the list of the village Council published every week, it announces Mr Wm Trench, as Reeve ; and Messrs F McConaghy, 1’ G Savage and Wm Powell as Councillors for this year. If this neighbourhood was dependent on such a sheet for news, it would undoubtedly be in a bad fix.

THE FALL WHEATâ€"Considerable anxiety prevails as to the prospect of the fall wheat in this section, owing to the most unfavorable winter. The area. sown was exceedingly large. Much of it was put open fields unfit for it, and even with the most favorable season, could not have been a good crop. New with the open winter alternated with severe frosts and heavy thaws and in the almost constant absence of snow, the result, in many cases we fear, must be very discouragingâ€"ADVANCE.
