The Liberal, in noticing the suspenv WeftheSelkirk paper, published by aVMrJVidcman, the other week, states that the failure 'was. owmg to the National Policy. Indeed, that is some- . thing strange, too. We have a faint re- collection of hearing that name, or one very much like it, before. Out of the misty recollections of by- -gone years, we fancy we can hear of a Mr Wudeman, or Wodemnn, or Woodman who started a paper in Brampton, under very favor- able auspices, and failed to carry it on. The National Policy was not heard of then, for this happened many years ago. The Fall Show of the North York Ag1icultural§ Society, will be held in Newmarkct on the 1‘2 and 13111 days of October.

Shortly after we see a notice to the eficct that Mr Wedman Widman. Weid. manor Wideinan, started a paper in Stoutfville, and failed I And yet the N. P. was not in force. These were the bright, beautiful and glorious days when the N. P. monster had not crushed the vitality out of this doomed and helpless country. Can it be possible that our contemporary alludes to the same person? The chances are that it does. If so, did the N. P. cause the former failures, or did the last failure result from the same cause as the first three. Our co'nj- temporary only shows whow little it can say against the N. P, when such charges are made to do scrvice.1t also shows how ignorant bigoted and prejudiced motives must influence the write'is By all means not manly ! do the fair thing? State the truth, and even if it does tell against the N. P, we will commend you for it? ‘ By allowing our ‘ eyes to liri'ger amongst papers, published in‘ the years that are dead and gone, we can discern something about a Mr Woudman, Winfi- mfin or Wendmau, who started a paper in Unionville and failed! And yet the N. P ,was not in force. The real reason of Mr Ryan s defeat is that the electors were not willing to record their votes against the N. P. whether they thourrht it a benefit or not. A number ofjournals have [been try- ing to make it appear ' that Mr Ryan was injured in the late contest, because the Globe supported him. Their atâ€" tempts in this line are amusing and absurd. We donot by any means ap- prove of or endorse the course pursued by the Globe, but we think it: gave valu- able assistance to Mr Ryan, and an able and strong support. The Mail did a like duty for Mr Beatty, and Mr Beatty won. It seems childish to adopt such a small way of ventmg ill-will, as ,to say the ' Globe’s support weakened Ryan. Ryan would have done better, in our opinion, if he had come out simp- ly as a Reform candidate,â€"â€"a member of the, Reform party,â€"not poising him- self as asnpporter of Edward Blake. That name has notithe great charm for the electors that some people imagine. Indeed it'is somewhat dilficult’ to disâ€" cover what a supporter ofEdward Blake will support. He may support some of' the most fantastic theories in- the uniâ€" verse, or he may not support anything In particular. One day he may support a politician, and the next day a political ghost.

The Instiâ€" tute also approve of Dr May’s plan of organizing classes of' Instructions, as exâ€" plained by him in his recent visit, and it is also the opinion 'of this Institute that a fixed grantwould be of' more ad- vantagetolnstitutes, than the present mode oftgranting monies.~Carried. The Secretary stated that Dr May had recently visited the Institute, and wished the Directors to give their views in the following questions :â€"Whether the Mechanics Institute Association at Toronto, was any benefit to this Institute ? â€" Whether evening classes could be started in con. nection with the Institute? The Doc- tor intimated that if classes were organ- ized, those who desired to teach certain branches would receive instruction in 'l‘oronto,'free ; also that instruments and and models would be loaned to the insti- tute if'reqnired, and a grant allowed to each scholar; As the goxexnment contemplated making certain changes In the management ofb the Institute:D the Doetor'wished to obtain the opinion of the Directors on these matters. The Secretary stated that he under- stood Mr Boyle had been selected as a Judge for the Provincial Exhibition. On motion by Mr I Crosby, seconded by Mr F McCona’ghy, the constitution and byâ€"lawflreporc was laid over until next; meeting for considera! ion. A meeting of the Directors was held in the Masonic Hall, on Tuesday evenâ€" ing, 14th inst. Present, Messrs Storey, Crosby, McConnell, Harrison, McCon- aghy, Law, Fairbairn, and Moody. The Pres. in the chair. Minutes of last meeting approved. 1 He was’on top of the machine, and making a step forward on some straw his foot slipped and struck on the cylind- ers. Quick as lightning he realized the aivful and perilous position in which he was placed, and instantly threw himself backwards. He fell head fl1st on the floor, free from the machine, leaving the heel and sole of his boot in the cylinder. Though somewhat bruised he was only too thankful to escape as well as he did. When he got up on his feet after falling; to the floor, his face was as white as the driven snow, and it was to be seen by the expression of his features that he fully realized how narrowly he had es- caped. Had he fallen forward, or lost his presence of mind for one second while his foot was on the cylinder, noth- ing could have saved him from being crushed like an egg shell and torn to pieces, by the fearful power of the steam thresher. It is not given to every one to look death as closely in the face, and escape fiom its grasp.

CRICKET MATCH.â€"The match be- tween Richmond Hill and Patterson Clubs, was played in this village on Saturday afternoon last. Both clubs astonished the spectators, of'which there was quite a number, by their good play. The following are worthy of particular mention, on the Richmond Hill side. Messrs. T McMahon, W Watkins, A Wright, and T Young. In the Patter- son Club, Messrs Stewart, Landamore, and S Savage distinguished themselves. The score stood as follows: Patterson 71 ; Richmond Hill, 72 and 8 wickets BoASTING.â€"-Our contemporary beats every newspaper in the county, in two things only. 1stâ€"The many mistakes it makes in such a small amount of local reporting. 2ndâ€"1n the amount of boasting it indulges in. Scareely a week goes by, but there is a leading article, calling attention to the wonderâ€" ful appearance, etc.. of the paper. Per- haps it is afraid that few readers would not be able to see that it was even a newspaper, unless they were told so, and the fact was thoroughly drilled into them. The old proverb seems to fit right in here, “Self praise is no recomâ€" mendation.” ROYAL ARCANUM.â€"- A meeting will be held in dining-room of the Masonic Hall, on Monday evening next, for the purpose of organizing a Royal Arcanum Society. This is a benefit society which allows $3,000 at death, and a certain sum per week, in case of sickness. The fee for charter members, 20 of which are required, is $100. After the chart- er is obtained the Society can arrange the fees as may seem desirable. Atâ€" tend the meeting on Monday evening and hear all about it. This society has many thousand members in the States and hundreds in Canada, although but recently started . The Farmers’ Advocate, of London, offers a prize of $5 for the best essay on' “Whether is sheep-breeding or cattle raising the most profitable to the general farmer.” Essay to be in by Oct. 15th. Here is a chance for some of our farm- ers’ sons to make $5. Towmme Aromaâ€"The C. M. and Presbyterian Churches, are pushing their way upwards towards the skies. The towers already seem to have reach- edagrcat distance from the ground. The most satisfactory part is to hear from every one that the work is being well done. THE Ross CASEâ€"The papers in this case have been 1handed tn the County-Attorney, and the girl will short- ly be tried for house-breaking and larâ€" cency,â€"not for burglary. Ross still pleads innocent, but ever. if there is not sufi’icient evidence to convict her of the crime. She should be sent to the Re- formatory for her own good. Her life so far has not been a creditable one, and if set at liberty, she will likely to grow still worse. TIIISTLEs.-In stating thistles were rather plentiful not far from this village, the other week, no particular fields were alluded to, as some persons have suppos- ed. The him was Intended for every field where thlstles are somewhat abund- ant. and there are far too many thistlea to be found in some fields in different parts of this village, and all around it. NEVER GIVE UP.â€"â€"-“Never leave what you undertake until you can reach your arms around it and clinch your hands on the other side,” says a recentâ€" ly published book for young men. Very good advice ; but what If she screams ? LIQUOR SELLING.â€"Capt. McConnell had quite a number of hotel keepers up lately for selling liquor illegally. $20 and costs were inflicted in several cases.

Albums for sale at the HERALD store Call and see. There was a very cool breeze, and as long as we could keep in shade we were comfortable. But the boat turned so often that we were continually marching from side to side, carrying: a chair. Our ex- ample was followed by the guide, the dry goods man and‘a number of passengers, so the sight must have been a somewhat novel one. No sooner were we pleasantly seated in the cool shade, and reading a line or two in the Seaside, than n muttered exclamation from some passenger would warn us that. the sun was on our track again. Then all would seize their chairs and rush for the shady side. And after standing all this we were not even gratified by seeing any one fell into the hold, tumble overboard, or meet with any accident. We frequently balanced our-- selves on the deck railing, hoping some body would follow our example and by, falling over board, furnish us a good item, but we were disappointed. However, before we arrived at Rosseau that evening, we got all the danger and excitement that we wished. But for the presence of mind and skill of the pilot, the tale we are now relating would never have been told, and the birds would have been singing a wild requiem over our nameless grave, while the pretty little fishes made things interest- ing for our comrades. But our space will not permit an account of the thrilling ad- venture this week. t l we had 'nothtng else to do, But even beautiful scenery becomes monotonous. and questions play out. So we hunted out a “Seaside,” ("Lttlteside” we sltould say, but the truth must be told.) and tried to do a little reading. Every once in a while some one would exclaim “Oh look / Isn’t that fine,” “My how lovely.” The scene was generally as follows,-â€"â€"A beautiful exâ€" panse of water, stretching as far as the eye could see, and apparently to the north pole. A number of islands. some completely cov- ered with trees. whose green branches and leaves rose from the Water’s:edg e, and formed a sligtttlg-rounded elevation at the centre ; others are composed of huge gran- ite blocks, massive and wonderful~looking boulders, which caused one to wander back in fancy to the days when nature’s forces gave them their present form and position. Sometimes the boat would pass through a narrow channel, and the two banks seemed close enough to iump upon with safety. Once or twice a boat darted out from shore and hailed us. The Captain kindly stoppâ€" ed, and a passenger got off to join the campers. These camps are quite numerâ€" ous along the banks, many of them being very nicely arranged, and presenting a pleasant sight, with flags of all kinds,â€" United States and Canada,â€"flying in the breeze. The young men and women in these camps seemed to be enjoying them- selves very much,‘ and had a ruddy. healthy, look that was pleasant to, see. Out-door life, fresh air and exercise, ’is making a wonderful imprbvement in the young peo-- ple of both sexes, and the result is seen in the splendid types of manhood and woman- hood, becoming more numerous year by year. Whenever the boat passed a camp, there was always a rush to the water's edge and to the side of the boat. and dozens of handkerchiefs were waved on boat J: shore until an‘island obstructed the view. After a sixteen mile sail from Gravenliurst through Muskoka Luke and River and lit-- dian River. we dropped anchor at Brace - «bridge. Mr Saunders and family left . us here fora few weeks visit. This appears to be a very lively town, and there must be considerable competition ; between the" hotels. as there were several busses at the wharf. and the patronage of the passeng~ ers was solicited with the same earnestness and zeal as is displayed at Union station, Toronto. Sailing up the Muskoka and Indian Rivers, the land is pretty much the same as already described. There were one or two comfortable-looking houses to be seen, but. the majority clearly evinced that we were in the backwoods. There is a large tannery and sawmill on the banks. and some very small post officesâ€"more like an ordinary wood-shed then anything else. There was no wharf at one of these post offices, but as the boat. passed a mailâ€" bag was flung on shore and another one was flung on board. We also passed sever- al persons in small row boats on their way to market at Bracebridge. This is the common way of travelling along the river. The river has an average width of some 50 feet, and has apparently 150 turns and twists. The Capt told us there was about ll turns. but he must have been Joking. At least we had to change our position some 100 times in order to avoid the burriâ€" int.y rays of the sun, which was terribly hot. AsN C Wallace, M P., said, when in company with a large number of other M. P’s., and M P. P’s., he was smoothly glid- ing over the beautiful bosom of Lake Ross- 6311 1â€" . "This countrv is like the promised“ land” When Joe Rymal and the léw-makers, in- cluding some breakers, had given up the conurrdr-um,Clarke quaintly observed,“Well gentlemen, the children of Israel. I think I’ve seen somewhere, had to go through a Wilderness to get to the Promised Land. Muskoka resembles that description very much. We have passed many rough unâ€" cultivated acres, that would hardly sustain life, miles of land on which a crop would not pay for seedingâ€"and yet 1 am assured that a. few miles from the Lakes and Rivers the land is far better, than if it was “flow- ing with milk and honey.” It is as fine an agricultural district as any would wish to see.” This was exactly similar to what several persons told us on the Wenonah, as we sailed along northward through Lake Mus‘ oka. There are many acres here and there of wood land, and fine looking crops along Muslrolta River but there are also patches of solid rock, high as a house, and miles of rocks, slightly sprinkled over with eatth, not. enough to raise a potato crop. Some lew miles back f1om the water, good lende 1s plentiful, and toot crops are very hm.r . From what we learned by converâ€" sntioen with farmers, etc., we see no reason why, with hard work and a little capital, 11 man cannot do well in Muskoka. Land is cheap, good roads are being opened through the country, and an energetic man can not failto make a. good 11ving. and save considerable money. A number of instances were cited where men had gone in there with but; a. hundred dollars or so, and 1n a few years were independent, thr1v- ing nicely, had a good farm, well stocked.& a. comfortable home. All this time we were sailing along, troubling every person with questions, and watching the scenery when THE PROMISED LAND. THE CANADIAN LONG BRANCH.
