Postmaster It is astonishing how much pleasure and consolatlon the average Grit organs can draw out of the recent elections in Carleton and Northumberland. 1b is, of course, a well-known fact that the slightâ€" est; glimpse of'good fortune is esteemed a bonanza by one Whose very soul is crushed by. despair. and who had not the faintest hope of seeing anything in the shape of a change. But while it would be cruel to deny the Grit. organs :1 little crowing and self- econgratulations, it might not be out. of the way to remind themithat there is still a majority 'of nearly ninety memâ€" bers in the House, for the Government. Even if the loss of these two seats does mean death and destruction to the Gov- ernment, the organs should give it to us gently. Going South, West and East, includ- ing maple, Thornhill. Toronto. Markham, &c., Going Nomh publiqopinion seems f: e pa1t of free and responsible institutions, and it is much better that people change their views once and a while. It reminds a Government that their position isl not permanent, and that, whether rightly or wrongly, the people are ndt satisfied either with their candidate ' personally or the opinions he holds on public questions. It is but reasonable 1 ‘to expect a diminution in the extremely ‘ large majority returned for the Governâ€"- ment, and yet. the majo1ity has not‘ dwindled down. We have a faint recol- l leetion of a former Government major, ity fading away like a morning mist before the rising sun, but in the present case, either the sun of Mr Blake’s orâ€" atory is not powerfulenough, or the peo- ple have learned to distrust appearances, as the majority is still a very tangible and stem reality. If there is any such change of public opinion, as the organs claim, why’ was it not evinced at former byeâ€"elections. It is cold comfort in‘ deed, when the present standing of the parties is compared with their standing after the general election. There seems to be very little room for such outbursts ot'joy, and prophecies of victory, to the Opposition. But anything to keep their spirits up. If they are so easily pleased all right, let them take as much pleas- ure as they can out ofit. But do not build too high, or the disappointment will be the greater when the airy castle tumbles down.

During the Adininistration of the late GOVernment there was nothing but apologies and cries of hard times. People actually dreaded looking at revenue returns, for fear the deficits would appear unusually large and shocking. And when the returns were given, they were always accompani- ed by an explanation and excuse as long as the moral law, showing why they were so small, as if the deficiency in the re+ venue would be made up by the length of the explanation. But the present Ad- ministration have made a change, and the revenue returns are‘ as eagerly look- ed for as any other good news. The returns for March show a very agreeâ€" able expansion. There is an increase over last year of$320,157, made up as follows :â€" Isaac Walton and his wife were travel- ling with a horse and buggy on the !Kingston road in October, 1879, when {the horse shied and ran into the ditch on ithe south side of the road, upsetting the buggy which overturned upon Walton and broke his leg. Two actions where thereupon brought on the advice of Mr. ,Jos. A. Donovan by Walton and his wife against the county of York for neg- lligence, in that- the ditch was too deep; that it went down on the side next the 'road too perpendicular; and that it was not properly located. The cases were med at the York Assizes in March. 1880, and the verdicts for $500 rendered for the plaintifis. In Term rules were Igranted the defendants by the Courts of Queen’s Bench and Common Pleas to set aside the verdicts, and enter non-suits ,for the defendants on the grounds that ~roads cannot be maintained without fditches; and therefore that their existâ€" ‘nce on a highway is no evidence ofnegli- gence. The cases were argued by .l. K. Kerr, Q. 0., for the county, and by Mr. ,Donova-n for the plaintifiis. Chief Jus- tice \Vi ‘son delitered the judgment of lthe Courts, deciding that there was no Eevidence of negligence by the County of York, that the verdict was contrary l to law,and directed the verdicts to be re versed, and nonsuits entered for the de- fendants. Against this decision the plain- tilfs appealed and judgment was on Sat- urday pronounced by the Courts of} ,Appenl, reversing the judgment of thel f lourts of Queen’s Bench and Common Pleas, and restoring the verdicts in lfavor of the plaintiffs, thereby affirming _’,that it is the province of the jury to de- : termine whether ditches are a necessary i adjunct ot'a highway, whether they are ! properly constructed, and whether they 2 are rightly located â€"-regard being had to the public safety. It would be imposs- ible to over- estimate the importance of 5 this decision on the liability of counties. It IS the first t1n1e it has been judicially determined that municipalities are liable ; for injuries occurring in consequence of ; the existence of ditches on the highway, ; it having been hitherto generally assum- 5 ed. bothb' 1n the p1ofession and out. of it, “that no such liability existed.

Of course the Opposition organs will say the Governâ€" ment should not get credit {or the inâ€" crease, but the fact remains that the ex- Finance Minister and his colleagues were very eager to change the ever-reâ€" curiing deficits into a surplus, but could not fix their estimates so as to bring about such a desirable change. It may be that the Government do not deserve any credit, but all the same it is pleasing to know that the country is not sinking deeper and deeper every year into debt, and that whether the Government have anything to do with the matter or not, surpluses seem to be standing around handy when a Conservative Adminisâ€" tration have the reins of Government. Like Mahomet and the mountain, if they don't bring the surplus, it must come to them. The Court of Appeal hasjust render- edn decision which is of the utmost im- portance to municipalities, Civic and rural corporations have a reckless habit of. causing dangerous ditches to be dug on the public highway, carelessly leaving them uncovered, whereby human life is often sacrificed or placed in jeopardy. The judgement of the Courts in the fol-l lowing case, however, the particulars of which we glean from the Telegram, will probably have u. salutary effect on muni cipal councils, and cause a much desired reformation in the manner of construct- ing public highways.

Probably he is not aware , of how thoroughly tired people are of hear- ing his nonsensical views on this. or inâ€" deed, almost any other subject. He should let the “crosses” drop, unless he thinks he would make a good cross him- self, and wishes his statute erected in place of the present architectur- al ornaments. Goonâ€"Grip is particularly good this week, especially on the East Northumâ€" berland election. Blake is represented strutting about in all the pride and glory of a hen with one chick, and that newlyâ€" fledged chick is stretching: its beak with a tremendous “Cock-a-doodle-doo.” Blake wears a complacent smile, as if he saw other chickens in the near future. This counting chickens before they are hatched is very disappointing sometimes. The other smaller cartoons are excellent, the ,big and little Premier, Prof'. Gold- win Smith and Tilley, and Religious Toleration in East Northumberland. Jus'r LIKE HILLâ€"Every time the Liberal man attempts to deal with any subject outside of something about ‘cats,’ or similar subjects, he makes a blunder . Last week, in noticing Dr. May's Report he insinuates that the Mechanics Insti~ tute here is not. properly conducted, and that the ofifoers should attend to the business better. He also publishes a statement that some $175 is unaccount- ed for, thereby7 leading his readers to believe that the officers are either guilty of great carelessness, ignorance or em- bezzlement. If he had taken the very slight trouble of asking the Secretary about the matter, he would have seen that the $175 was applied on the plano fund, and that Dr May made a blunder in copying from the Secretary’s 'state- ment.» Bun-instead of doing so, he choose to let people” believe that the ofiieers of the institute are to blame. HIS reason For acting i9 such rather strange and ridiculous manner is difiicult to under- stand. ‘Be should have the manliness to correct his statement, and not persist in misleading the public. It would have only been common decency to see what explanation the officers had to make be. fore censuring them. But it’s just like him. FA?CE .Optfi â€"-Ou Thursday last, Mr James Mammy y, who lives on Mill- street near W 0?; pond 11116 is employed at the Patterson Agricultural Works, had his face severelyb cut. He was feeding a circular saw, and after a heavy block, some four inches Wide, three long and ten thlck, had been sawn off, he pushed 1t aside. The block was not shoved far enough away from the saw, and it caught and was whirled back like lightning, striking Mahony on the chin. The block made a fearful gash, splitting the chin open. It bears the imprint of Mahony’s teeth and chin bone against which it struqk. H is forehead was also struck w1th a corner of the block and rather severely cut. SUDDEN DEATH.-â€"-An old man nam- ed Lehman, from Rlngwood. drove into Torontolon Thursday_ with a span of horses and wagon containing marketable produce. He left for home Friday morning about ten o'clock, seated on the top of his waggon, and while driving along King street East, near St. Law- rence street, a gentleman observed the reins drop out ofhis hands. Thinking something was wrong, as Lehman ap- peared to remain motionless, the gentle- man jumped into the waggon and took hold of Lehman’s hand. Dr Wright happened to come on the scene at that moment. and he also jumped into the waggon,’ and at once pronounced the old man as dead. The body of the deceas- ed was carried into the Kings-berry House, at the corner of St. Lawrence- street, and a telegram despatched to Ringwood. The deceased’s son arrived in the city shortly before seven o’clock Friday night, & seemed greatly distress- ed at his father’s sudden death. The body was put in a shell and about ten o’clock it was placed in the waggon and the son left for home with it. The cause of death is supposed to be heart disease, as the deceased was heard to complain several times on Thursday, of pains in his side. He was well knownp to freâ€" quenters of the market.

A young woman named Mary King, daughter of John King._ a farmer in the township of Keppei. died‘ suddenly last Saturday. Coroner Cameron, of this town. was notified on the followxiig Monday of the death, together with the al- legation that it Was surrounded by suspiâ€"‘ cious cilcumstances Drs. Barnhart and Wigie held apes! mortem’ examination on the body, and testified that deceased came to her death by hemorrhage caused by abor~ lion. At the inquest. which was immediately held, it was discovered that her brother‘ James King had procured medicine at‘ Wiarton some months prev‘ious.‘;' and after administering the medicine deceased was.“ seized with fits from which she recovered and was apparently in her usual health until Saturday last, when she took a fit of vomiting and shortly died. A bottle con-1" tainiug oil of cedar was" found on the premises. Theljury returned a verdict that’ the deceased. Mary King. died from the‘ effects of medicine taken to procure an- abortion administered by her own hands,- and that her brother James King was guilty" of counselling and aiding the abortion by" procuring the medicine. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. SHOCKING - The Toronto World, of Friâ€" dny. gives an account of a “Modern Gehenmi,“ at the residence of a Mr. Harris, in York TOWnship Mr. Harris has an extensive piggery. This fact of itself is sufficient to account for a fair amount. ofw evil smells. Mt: Harris contracts With a. number of slaughterâ€"houses for their offal, and this is conveyed to his place and fed to the hogs. He also buys all the deceased horses in the city and neighborhood, takes them to his place,boils them in a huge caulw dron, separates the flesh from the bones. packs the former in barrels. and allows the latter to lie. around promiscuonsly until there is enough to warrant a shipment. Not far from Mr: Farris’ house there is a pile containing about 200 loads of manure. The component parts of this pile may only he messed at. but it smells to heaven. A living rivulet runs through Mr. Harris’ proâ€" perty. Before It enters his domain it. is a tiny brook of' spring’ water, clear nsacrystnl. When it emerges from the foresnid domain it is- covered with a fever-breeding: scum. and the beasts of the. field with fine instinct. refuse to drink of its waters. ‘ unv person of sound mind and bocly between the ages of 18 and 60, iFor $5,000 to $10,000: At times in the hottest days and nights houses around had to he hermetinally seal~ ed to exclude the stench. Not a window or door dare he left open. An epidemic will vet arise in the vicinity and nothin! could prevent its spread. Harris had been a resident three years. and during that time the people here with him. no one wishing to he the leader in a crusade. There was lots of grumbling but no action. His land was fairly littered With all sorts of abominations, and there did not seem to he the least at» tempt. at keepin; it, clean‘ The smell at- times was awful. The only remedy was for peeple to move away and leave Mr. Harris monarch of all he surveyed. This alterna» tive was rather an unpleasant one. as people around there owned their places. The re~- porter left and communed with himself as to whether there. was law to prevent this man Harris and his disgusting gehenna from endangering the health and lives, of his neighbors by vitiating miles of atmosphere; whether there was low to prefihiin‘fi’bfir turning a running, stream inio a vehicle for- the carrying of filth and fever on its jour- nev: whether it was a. perfectly legitimate thing to feed hogs on the offal and refuse of slaughter-liousps, and that if there were such laws. how might they be put in motion.
