West Simcoe eléction trial has resultâ€" ed in the unscating of Mr. Phelps. Reâ€" form Member. The trial took place before Hon. Justics Patterson and For- guson.

We can hardly take up an exchange but What we find thename of Mr. So-and-so address- ing the Board of Trustees on behalf of Bomebody’s books.

It might, perhaps, save the Inspector a little extra trouble if' all the schools in his district adopted the same readers, but the law does not force this on the school sections, neither can the Inspector deâ€" mand it. tioh. It, appearé to us, so Far as we can see, that there is a desire on the part. of cer- tain publishers to force thvir new school Readers on the towns and villages, with- out taking into account Whether law is respected or not. By this means thev hope lo draw in the rural sections to fol low in the wake of incorporated towns and villages by adopting the same book. Every school teacher, with the consent of the Board of Trustees in any school section, has a perfect right to adopt which of the series he thinks proper. inâ€" dependently of any other school’s adopâ€" ‘.-_ Some of the members of our School Board are of the opinion that a meeting of all the school sections, or at least representatives of each might very reason- ably he held in some central locality in North York, for the purpose of' discussâ€" ing the merits of the new school Readâ€" crs, which are about to take the place of the old series. We should like to see the-plan adopted, if at all practicable. Another matter might very well be considered in connection with this subâ€" ject, that is canvassing for votes. The true essence ofgranting the ballot is not enforced so long as the law allows the canvassing of voters by aspiring candiâ€" dates. We would be in favor of so changing the law that all voters be disâ€" franchised for not casting their votes, and all voters canvassed for their voles by the candidale or 1118 agent be consid- ered contrary to law and sufficient to void the election. It. may not. be out: of place to refer to another matter. Why not disfranchise every man who, under the ballot, refuses to go to the polls ? A great deal may be said for and against doing thisy yet, on the whole, we are inclined to go in for it. The ballot was given for the very purpose of making freedom of vol:- ing so secure that no excuse need be had for refusing to vote. It is a well known fact {but judges differ as Well as other people. One judge will set aside an election upon technicali- ties that another would not consider sufficient. tnfixgfied,iffor no other purpose than hazing unifoplgny. - Ifa man should be returned who has not received the plurality of votes cast, owing to the law being tampered w1th, wilfully or otherwise, we cannot bring our minds to tlnnk that. that man should nufl'er. else what is the use of having law: if guy arehgt strictly maintained and There is an election to come of? short- ly in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, for the House of Commons, the present member being unseated owing to some informali‘ ties in voting.

For instance, what is to prevent a Deputy Returning Officer neglecting‘to initial ballots in a district where it. may be expected a plurality of votes will be given for the man to whom he is politically opposed. We have no hesitation in saying such things can be done. and, we fancy, have been done.

Between twelve and one o’clock on Sun-- day morning last, a man named Henry Moss met aterrible fate on the Toronto Grey (k Brut-e Railway. near Flesherton. He mid a young man named Isles who lives in To» ronto. were coming down to Toronto from Owen Sound, lmvmg been working,’ on the Algoma Mills section of the C P. R. Be- fore getting on board Moss laid in a quan- tity of liquor, and when rearing the above Village became almost unmanageable under its inflneme, getting up and stumping about. the car like a madman. He was lost. seen to go out. and cross the platform to enter the baggage car, a move unnoticed by con- ductorThompson. No more was seen of him until his remains were found on the track a few hours later, cruslw‘l and mutiâ€" lated in a horrible manner. 'l he head was literally torn from the trunk and mashed to fragments. A Mr Lawlor, ot'Woodbridge, saw him fall from the train. The deceased was thirty-five years of age, and has been out from England thlfl a year. A litrtle bit of sarcasm onlthé‘ doings at Rat Portage, though, before it is all over, there may be more trufl) than poetry in it. The Montreal Witness of the 20th says : “The news from the seat of war at Rat Portage is of the gloomiest charâ€" acter. The war is becoming more bitter if not more bloody, and the end is ap- parently further off than ever. The Ontario forces, taking advantage, it ap- pears, of the results of a too generous commissariat of the Manitoba service, made a reconnaisance in force, and cap- tured a large part of Mr Norquay‘s troops, while unable to defend himself. The prisoner was tried by the Ontarlo courtmartial and sentenced. The M oni- toba forces, determined to avenge their defeat, made a sortie and captured a dc- tachment ot‘ the Ontario forces, and lodged him in gaol. The latest news is to the effect that an attack is expected from the Ontario force, and the Maui- toba Government is hurryingr forward large reinforcements, which will immedi- ately take the field. A great battle is probably at this moment in progress." Do Not be Decelved.

The Marquis of Lansdowne. who has been selected to succeed the Marquis of Lorne, as governor-general of Canadaâ€" a much-coveted postâ€"is a scion of a noble house and honorable lineage. The grandfather of the present marquis was a“Bupert of debate” in the house of lords thirty years ago, and had a someâ€" what singular method of prepairing ‘ himself for a great speech. It was his custom, on the afternoon of an impendâ€" ing debate in the house, to walk around the garden in the rear of Lnnsdowne house in Piccadilly, muttering to him-y self, cans in hand, and to switch 011' tops of flowers or whatever had an upâ€" right stalk, as if chastising imaginary enemies. The faithful old gardener felt so chagrined that he would retire to hide his vexation, knowing the danger of disturbing his master in a reverie of excited thoughts. The present marquis, when a child, was so scrupulously tend- ed by a doting young mother, that neither cream nor butter was allowed to pass the infant’s lips lest it should spoil a delicate complexion. The natural re- sult was a debility and sickly palencss which warranted invoking the advice of. the queen’s physician, Sir Benjamin Brodie. This eminent Esculupius im- ' mediately created a revolution in the nursery by prescribing rich cream and fresh butter ad libitum. The nurse was i instructed to allow the little fellow to steep his chubby fists and arms, to the elbows, 1f the nascent lord should feel so disposed, so that the 'grease might enter the system at. every pore. The sequel showed a healthy, bouncing lord- ling. His father, Lord Shelburne, was the eldest son of the former marquis, and the present marquis’ title as the eldest son of Lord Shelburne was Lord : Clanmorris. so that the dignified title he now wears is his second name.

He represented the Township in the council for 15 veers as councilman and reeve. Mr Purk nlways took an active part in everything pertaining to the welfare of Georginut both pnbliclv and privately. He was it member of the Church of England, and was a staunch Conservative. He came to the country a young man, by no menus well off, but by his perseverance, intngrtty and industry, amassed a competency ; and although he has left behind him a large amount of valuable property he was by no menus a niggard. Mr Park was one of those genial men who hnd friends wherever he went, and he believed (while accumulat- ing property) that he had a perfect right to en'oy the good things of this life, and he did so He was an excellent host and friends always received u most. cordtal welcome at his fireside. We huve no doubt his mem- ory will long live fresh and green in the minds of a large number of the residents of Georgina. l ST.

Cane 4: Sons’ mill m) Tues-‘ day afternoon by Which Richard Kelsey had a very narrow escape from instnnt death. It seems he had changed work for a short time with another hand, and. not being very well acquainted with the leerrlity, did not notice that his head was in close proximity to the circular saw which is used for ripping out pail timber from the slabs at the mill. After being but a few minutes at work, the aide of his head came in contact with the saw, cutting his hat into pieces and inflicting a severe scalp wound ; the bend being, open- ed to the bone. The wound bled t‘righrl‘ttlly and at first sight those around thought it was a fatal gush. He was immediately burned into a buggy and conveyed to the Mike of Dr W'iddifield, where the wound was dressed and the patient made comfort-- able. The injury was found to be less than was supposed, although the full extent. of the injury may uotéyet be apparent, the es; cape was a very narrow one.

A boy who lives with him was driving the horses and Mr. McCann was sitting in the rack ofthe wagon- 0n arr-- proaching the railway the rattle of the wagon prevented therefrom hearing any other sound. while the freight Sheds inter-- fered with their view down the line. Owing to these things they neither saw not heard the rapid approach of the Steamboat Err-- press, which sweeps directly through the Station at a tremendous speed without‘ stopping. Just as the horses stepped on the track the locomotive came along, and at this moment one of the horses swerved round so that the train struck between them. breaking the dotthletree and tearing one of the horses clear out. of the harness. and de- positing it on the top of the engine between the reflector and the bell, and thromng the other over the fence in a field some twenty yards from the track In the mean- time the occupants of the wagon were iii a state of unparalleled bewilderment. When the locomotive struck it reduced the wagon to a heap of ruins. Mr. McCann was in the act ofjuniping out, when the wagon was turn with such force from beneath hrs feet that he turned over and lit heavily on the hard road, cutting his face and head badly, and grviug him a severe shaking up, but ifortnuatclv not dragging him with the wreck The boy’s escape was a marvellous one. Totally bewildered. he crawled out from under the fragments of the demolished wag- gmr without having received a scratch. and started oifafter the train with all his might. apparently with the idea. of rescurng the horse, which was carried for about half a mile on the engine before it could be stopped. When the train at last pulled up, it was with some difficulty the mangled re:- nrsirrs were removed from the engine. It was fortunate that the carcass did not. pass under the wheels. or the whole train might have been thrown from the track. The other horse so unceremoniously pitched over the fence was badly injured, but no bones brok- en. so Veterinary Surgeon. 'I‘. H.

GHEAP EiSH the interest oi the claimants of the Baker estate, Was held at the Dominion Hotel, Richmond Hill. on Saturday last, 18th inst, This was the mast interesting and satisfac- tory meeting yet. held. Representatives frOm nearly all parts of the Dominion and many treat the United States wereupresent. Communications read from Mr J. W. Baker who is now in Washington. D. 0., show‘ ‘ that there is every probability of. the heirs; reclaiming the property left by the la‘t‘e‘Col‘.‘ Henry Becker, of the U. 8. Army. This matter has been agitated in the American papers for some time, which has aroused the minds of all interested in it. The heirs in Canada have been working quietly for nearly two years, and have held several meet- ‘ ings ; every time adding proofs that there ‘was something worth looking after. The t highest American legal authorities have 1 been consulted, and the most flattering en- couragement given. It is little wonder that the parties interested were so sanguine, con- ‘sidering that they saw so few obstacles in ‘the way, which accounts for the sum of money raised in so short a time. Nearly $300 was raised within one hour, and any one who is acquainted with the parties iii- terested will give them credit. for not being too hasty in paying money, without duly considering the matter. It was decided to have circulars printed, giving an account of all former meetings and all business of im- portance that has been transacted, together With the communications received and par- ticulars in general, which will no doubt cong lain interestmgflinformation for the heirs, as well as satisfying the curiosity of disin- terested ones. Mr J. H Snider, their Secretary. is now busy compiling the pamphr let, which is expected to be ready for the press in a few days It is not necessary to fill the papers with lengthy articles on this subject. suffice it to say that the claim of the property has heen traced and found valid. What the expense will be in obtain- ing this is not yet known. Even consider-- ing the bright prospects, there may be a flaw, but the probabilities in favor of the heirs stand ten against one. i A large and very enthusiastic meeting in 850,000.â€"Fifty thousand dollars are to be given in premiums at the St. Louis Fair, to be Held the first week in Octob- er.
