The Muskoka election was therefore made a test. The Government and Its friends determined to carry Muskoka if it could be done.

They felt certain of retaining Mr. Mowat with a larger majority than he formerly had, and they also felt certain that they could carry Muskoka. In both cases they had very good grounds for the” expectations. THURSDAY, MARCH 22. 1883. But when the Conservatives of Mus- koka found there was a good chance of getting rid of the Mownt Government, .they' no longer refused to turn out. They came-to the polls like men, worked like heroes, and won the day. The inâ€" justice f‘rom which they have suffered for years under this Government, and the system of favoritism pursued to the Grits, thoroughly aroused the Conser- vatives, and they were determined to send one more supporter to assist Mr. Meredith. This accounts for the great change in the vote polled, since the last election; it is not good for a Govornâ€" ment to be entrusted with power too long. Abuses are apt to creep in. The Mowat Government is shaky, and the chances are very small that it will weath- er the breeze. v3 ’J‘he Grits have assumed for some years the sole right to be considered the friends and advocates of temperance. As usual, when they thought there was a chance of catching a few Conservafive voters, temperance was the main quesâ€" tion. politics was only a side issue. As for giving good and substantial reasons why they should get the temperance vote they have not yet attempted. The cowardly wretches who attemptâ€" ed to assassinate Lady Dixie will bring the Land Leaguers into still more unâ€" pleasant odour. No doubt the League is not the author of all. the crimes and fiendish acts committed in its behalf by vil‘lians who claim to be its friends. But until it stronglv and strenuously exerts itself to condemn and stop such, it is to a very great extent responsible for the result of the agitation it began and played with for so long. It is always a dangerous amusement to play with fire. and these diabolical schemes to blow up Government offices, Houses of Parliament, and assassinate defenceâ€" less women, only :00 clearly show that strong and severe measures are required to crush these fiends. It is to be hoped the Government will muke‘every possible exertion to discover them, and if found, bring them to a swift and ample punish- ment. although any punishment seems insuflicient for such depraved creatures. The temperance cry is becoming a familiar one in Canadian politics, and no one who delights in witnessing the pro- gress and prosperity of the country would desire to see the people indifferent or careless regarding a question of such vast importance. _ But although they preaoh- and preach, when a test 15 made they are found want- ing. Conservatives do not stand at the street corners, or climb on top of a house to proclaim to all wiihin hearing that they are temperance men. But as far as liv- ing a temperate life is concerned, or even being total abstainors, the party can count as many, if not more, than can be enumerated in the ranks of their oppon- enls. The refusal of Mr Blake and sevâ€" eral others of his supporters to serve on a Committee appointed to prepare a Bill on temperance legislation shows again, fer the hundredth time, that the party only use the question as a political crv. If there Was any real temperance iu the party they would have been Willing to assist. in framing the bill. They would have given their ability and experience in behalf of the principles which they profess to be so endeared to. The present Dominion Government contains more staunch, true temperance men than the Ontario Government, or even: the Mackenzie Cabinet did. But to hear the Grits talk, and to read their organs. n resident of some other country would imagine that the Conservative Ministers were heathens and confirmed drunkards. We ’ 31m}: gnaw. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. The Muskoka Verdict. Temperance and Grits. Richmond HIII. Ont. Mr. Charlton's bill, to punish seduc- tion and adultery, as will be seen by reâ€" ference to our Parliamentary summary on the fourth page, has been reported to the House. The first clause, regarding the punishment for seduction under promise of marriage, was struck on; by. a large majority. The other e’in’usas were passed. The punishment provided is a term not exceeding two years in penitentiary. There is, no doubt. a great deal of force in the arguments used by those who opposed the passing of the first clause. It is true that by making this sin a criminal ofi‘ence, it would afford opportunities for immoral, vindictive women to attempt blackmail- ing, and in some cases they might sucâ€" ceed. There is also a great and almost insurmountable difficulty in ascertain- ing the share of'gnilt ot‘ the scducer and the victim. But notwithstanding this there is just as good, if indeed, not stronger reasons why the first clause of the Bill should have been passed. At present the law calls such sins a civil offence, and the penalty can only be placed nta few hundred dollars, and not even this paltry sum is allowed, if the victim is not residing at home. The fear ofa term in penitentiary would greatly lessen this increasing evil. If blackmailing were attempted, the char- acter of the accused, and general conâ€" duct would secure an acquittal, and the person bringing an infounded charge should be liable to a heavy penulty. Canadian law protects woman against violence, but against seduction she must and should be her own protector. A promise of marriage is not marriage, and every true woman knows that it is not. The more effectual way to pre- vent the occurence of the pitiful and heartâ€"rending stories which shock and startle the whole country every now and then, is for society to recognize that only by the proper education and moral training of the young people. can they be made good men and women,who fear loss of honor, purity and self-resâ€" pect far more than a fine or a term in penitentiary. The annual meeting of the above Society was held in the Lorne Hall, on Wednesday evening last, 2151; inst, On motion MerAtkinson was appo'gt ed Chairman, and the following oflicers were elected : President,â€"-M r P Patterson ; lst vice, Mr N.

Mr Wallace (York). in moving for copies of all correspondence relating to the appli- cation of John Stewart, of Woodbridge, one of the volunteers of 1837-8, for assistance. drew the attention of the House to the desir- ability of making some provision for the volunteers who fought during the eventful years named. John Stewart, mentioned in his motion, was an aged man. He fought during the troubles at Toronto. along the Niagara frontier and at Detroit River, and lost an arm during the cimpnign. He was dependent upon his friends, and no provision was made for his support by the country he had served. In his (Mr Wallace’s) opinion no country was too poor to look after the men who had served it, and no Government could ufi'urd to be deaf to the claims ofsuch persons. The British Government provides for those who were disabled in its service. The United States provided for those who fought for their country during the war, and lnst Congress voted no less a sum than $187,000,000 for the relief of those who were wounded. The Government of Can- ado granted no less a pension than $2 400 a year to a gentleman who had been clerk of the House. Why. one-twentieth of that sum would make each of the poor veterans of 1837 happy. In his opinion the Govern- ment should take this matter up at once, and make plOVllen either by grants of lnnd or money for the support of the deserving, who fought For the people when their ser~ vices were required.

About twenty-five years ago, the busines now known as Trench’s Carri: age Works was Matted on Yonge Street, in this Village. It Was principally a jobbingr trade, and #aa a Very small affair compared go the business done at the prescm time. But by pulsuing a system of THREE STOREY BRICK BLOCK, in which the business is now conducted; When these shops (60 x 30 feet) were built, they were considered commodious enough for all the business that would ever be done. They were erected a few feet south of the old frame shop, which was sold to Mr. John Palmer for stables. The first floor of the brick building was used as a blacksmith shop. with a show room at the front, divided from the shop by a partition. ' But in a few years, so rapidly did the business increase, the shops proved altogether too small, and a oneâ€"storey brick addition (40 x 25) had to be erected, at the east end. This addition was built for a blacksmith shop, and it makes a most convenient and roomy one. by giving the public good work. and by adopting every improvement that was dBVISed, the busiqeaa steadily Increased, year by year, until, some six years ago, the old buildings were found too small, and Mr. Trench erected the large, Meanwhile Trench's Carriage Works were becoming known all over the coun: try, and although the principal trade was a local one, confined to this section, and the adjoining counties, yet from one end of the Province to the other Trench succeeded in repeatedly ‘ DEFEATING HIS COMPETITORS at village, township, Provincial and other exhibitions, By these means, many handsome orders and contracts were secured, and so great was the rush of work that he has been forced to REFUSE LARGE CONTRACTS for Toronto, Manitoba, and other mark-â€" ets, in order to ensure the fulfilment of obljgatiops to regular customers A common. and often fatal diseue is Jaundme. Regulate the nation of the Liver and cleanse the blond with Burdock Bland Bitters, and the worst case may be speedily cured. We congratulate Mr Trench on the continued and rapid progress which has attended his business, and congratulate the village on having such an enterprisâ€" ing and popular manufacturer. With the great increase in business, which has taken place for some months, continu ed, it will not be long before he is mâ€" pelled to still further enlarge his esâ€" tablishment, purchase additional machin- ery, and double the power of his engine. We hope such success will attend him in the future, as to render such enlarge- ment actually necessary before long. In order to secure every facility for the rapid and satisfactory execution of work, Mr Trench decided to put in a steam engine, and several COSTLY LABOR-SAVING MACHINES, of the latest. and most. improved form. A brick engine room. (10 x 25) was built. at the north side of the works, and he purchased a The machinery is principally on the first floor, (part of which is also used as a carpenter’s shop.) and includes a Band Saw, 18 feet long, which makes three revolutions per second. The way this saw rips through a board, and cuts it in all conceivable shapes and forms is certainly surprising; 7 16 HORSE-POWER arm»: ENGINE, together with a number of machines, from the firm of Goldie & McCulloch, of Gait. The total cost of machinery and other improvements is over $3,000. Mr Trench has now got his establishment in a shape to turn out a vast amount of work. He has already several large contracts. including some from Toronto firms, and an order for 100 waggons for the Northâ€"West. The season’s work Will exceed 150 carriages and over 60 cutters, which, with the jobbing trade. will amount to over $20,000, a very large increase over the business done in the old frame shop, some twenty years ago. There are thirteen hands steadily employed, amongst whom are several first-class mechanics, in the different de- partments. The wages amount to near- ly $6,000 per year. Mr George Trench has charge of the engine and maehinerv. He is also foreman of the blacksmith shop, in which there are two skilled artisans, Mr J McDonald, general black- smith, and Mr \V Cobean, carriage ironer, wellâ€"known all over the country for first class workmanship. Mr Wm Storey is foreman of the carpenter's shop, and Mr R Arc-her of the painting shop, both of whom are excellent workmen. There is also 3 Rip Saw, which sails through a heavy plank, as if it was the thinnest kind of'sawable material, and it did rot need to half try. ‘ The Shaper is an ingenious piece of mechanicism, and will put almost any kind of wood in shape in u very short time. and with very little trouble. Ourl sporting watch,â€"â€"-a stop one,â€"was in fair running order, and we endeavored to take the time of this machine. We could not exactly catch it, but the fore-- man informed us that it was only going at a trifle of some 4,721 revolutions per minute. So rapidly does it revolve, that the eye cannot detect the knives but can only see a light circle where the knives are whirling around. The Sandâ€"paper machine is also a very useâ€"- ful one, and saves a great deal of time in doing work. The Buzz Plalner can get. away with a hard day’s work in a very few hours, and with no trouble to speak of. Its muscles never give out, and it does not stop to take a chew of tobacco, but settles right down to business at the rate of 4,036 revolutions per minute. 0n the second floor is the carriage trimming department, carpenter's shop and store room. On the the third floor is the painting department. Trench’s Carriage Works FAIR, SQUARE DEALING ; RUNNING BY STEAM. GOVERNMENT OFFICE IN ENGLAND BLOWN UP.

QUEER.â€"Saifirday night we had a heavy shower of rain, but on Sunday morning Wiggin’s Storm came sailing furiously along from Kamseatka, where it had been anchored for a week. There was astcndy fall of snow all Sunday and Monday, and the wind made some terrible hanks along the roads. Eviâ€" dently winter is bound to linger in the lap of Spring, this year, just as long as that coy and bewildering maiden will permit him. PALM SUNDAY.â€"On Sunday last, Rev Father McBrady, of St: Basil’s Col- lege, Toronto, officiated at. Mass, at. the R. C. Church, in this village. The blustering stormy weather did not preâ€" vent a large attendance. After mass Father Mc Brady addressed the congre- gation. His sermon on the text, “Be ye not conformed to the World,” was an eloquent and impressive one. and was listened to throughout with the deepest attention. HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATION.-â€"â€"F0r the guidance of Public School Teachers, we wish to intimate that, at the next examination for admission to High Schools, a paper will be set, on “Drawâ€" ing,” as in Walter Smith's Primary Manual. This paper will be valued at 60 marks While one-third in this subject is not. exacted, credit will be given for the marks obtained in reckoning the total marks required for passing. PUBLIC SCHOOL INSPECTION.â€"-Mr. D. Fotheringham, Public School Inspec- tor, paid an official visit to the Public Schoois in this village last week, and after a careful examination in all the De- partments, expressed himself as highly satisfied with the condition of the schools in general. He spent over six hours in the Highest Department, and carefully examined the classes in Arithmetic, Com~ position, Reading, Definitions, Spelling, Writing, and Drawing, in which subjects most of the pupils received very credit- able marks. Over forty, of sixty who were present, made over 70 per cent on all the subjects. In arithmetic Edgar Ansley, Colin McLean, John Simms, Arthur Addison, and Maggie Garven made 100‘ per cent. Master Alex. McDonald also received 100 per cent in Composition. The Inspector’s next visit will be towards the close ofthe year when a full report of' the standing of the school will be published, J UBILEE SING ms â€"-The Ball Family Jubilee Singers are now on a trip through Canada, and are highly spoken of where they have appeared.

On the following Monday even- ing they have a concert of old plantation songs at Edgely ; at Maple on Tuesday ; Richmond Hill on Wednesday, and Vic- toria Square on Thursday These couâ€" certs are held under the auspices of the Methodist Church. NEW COURT Houseâ€"If oneâ€"hulf of what we hear about the York County Court House is correct, it is a great shame that our representatives do not take immediate steps to remedy the grievances complained of. For a num~ her of years the place has been regular- ly condemned, in no very mild language, and in the last presentiment of the Grand Jury, they stated that the Court House is lacking in accommodation, and deficient in ventilation, the SheriH’s oflice being particularly condemned. They hoped the proposed new Court House would soon be erected. Judge Boyd, in reply, said it was a disgrace that a County of 170,000 people could not have decent and properly located buildings. He hoped the jury would realize their expectations regarding new buildings, but thought only an indictâ€"- ment would definitely decide the matter. Mrs. Langtry visited Toronto last week, and met. with crowded houses. The reports say she is a “fair-to-midâ€" ling” ,nctress, and a pretty woman. Several of our young Vanderbilt: went down to see her. They did not see Freddy, and they think our Canadian girls are as beautiful as the Jersev Lily. It is altogether likely that their opinion is not far astray., Modjeska was also at the Grand this week, fur three nights, and entertained large and enthusiaatio audiences. No MORE SKATING.â€"On Saturday night last there was a large attendance at. the Skating Rink, it being generally understood that the rink would be closed that night‘for the season. The ice was Fair, and all seemed desirous of having a good skate for the last time this winter. Some young fellows made a point of skat- ing with every girl, and wishing them a skating farewell. Mr McLean has given good satisfaction this Winter, and the young people have had a great deal of pleasant exercise and amusement on the rink, Mr McLean says he will open the rink on the afternoon of Good Friday, if the ice is at all skateablc.

G Trench, D Boyle, G. Palmer, and W Harrison ; while Messrs A. Linklater, E Sisley, and D. T Fairbalrn endeavored to show that the world was materially benefitted by y the legal profession. Some rather ingen- j ious arguments were made use of, and ‘ amusing anecdotes related in illustration of certain points. The audience seemed interested in the debate, and highly onâ€" joyed any point made by the speakers on either side. The debate occupied about two hours, and when concluded the Chair- man, Rev. I Campbell, decided that the resolution had been sustained. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, 27th inst, at 7.30 p. m. The speakers are Messrs. D. T.
