mun», ~u 7.“ u thwack the echo comes back, the echo ill "amened to the Ottawa ten ; and Right-about Merry-dear, sinks down in despair to hear, *‘Mowat must go to the benches again?’ Mr. Mowat is going to the treasury benches again with a good maiority' The opposition g Lined 15 new seats and the Government 7, making a clear gain of eight seats 'for the Opposition. This is very little out of a. for- )Anermaiority of thirty cwo. Mr. Mowat’s hands are still strong and the people of Ont- ario may depend onthim to irigorousiy defend- ing on; mun-tugs rights. 1:;.__ __...;, ._. That 'l‘ln-eatmfiéfiwfionflica. Ontario has decidedly pronounced in favor ,of the Mowat Administration once more, This must be taken as the voice of the peo- ple on the questions at issue. Is this do- rrision to have no respect at Ottawe. If Mr. 'i'slowat is sustained by the people then it is his duty to parry out their will, and if Sir John thinks the Ontario Government should be a mere machine to carry out the wishes ene‘t designs ofi the federal government he 9111 find out that it won't go. If, as the Mall. threatened. co nfusion and disorder are the resmts of the Mowat Government being Hiatnilied‘, as it will bring on a. conflict with the Dominion Government, then with the Dominion Government will rest the respon- sibility. It Ontario can’t have her rights in the Confederation, she can outside of it. BJQHMOND HILL_, FRIDAY, March Mowat Must (in. Many have been the echoes and rever- izerations of Six. 301m Macdonald’a ominous warcry by the Conservatives, Land now wixh West York Taken. West. 3.301%; is captured by the enemy, after a desperate struggle. Thisis not altogether S} matter of surprise to Reformers, while it is more than many Conservatives expected. In a fair fight West York is decidedly Re- ef umj but when money is brought into the conflict, and that aided by the powerful in- lucnce of liquor, the odds are slightly against us. There is one thing, however, that is a oer ziinty, viz., that Mr. Patterson has- done Lin duty by the Reformers of West York; and we believe the majority 0t pronounced liefoiniors have also done. their duty, but there is a cert-Lin portion of the population of our riding over which money and liquor exercise :2. mighty influence, and yet their wtc counts one every time. This is the element that accomplished the defeat of Mr. Punterson in Westlork. He received many gool honest Conservative votes (not in Licnmond Hill) and thus gave strong hopes of his ultimate success. We me sorry Mr. Path-13011 was defeated, but the loss is the people‘s, not Mr, Patterson‘s. A Temperance Organ. One of the subjects discussed at the meet- ing of the Dominion Alliance at Ottawa, lust weelgwas the question of establishing ii live temperance newspaper and the pro- 11.0mm of a scheme for the publication and circulation oi temperance literature which will reach and carry inl‘o every household startling {acts of the evils of intemperance. feverul schemes were taken into consider- niion, but the one which seemed to meet “i111 general approval was the endorsntion r l the Citizen, of Toronto, which has been (lomg‘rz good work for the temperance cause dining llie past two years. This scheme me: will: ihe approval of the leading term )-L'l‘111\C0 men of the Dominion, and it is un- doubtedly a more in the right direction. The Ontario Trafies Benevolent Association, which the Citizen. explains as “ no other (him the society of whiskey and beer sellers, Muir: publicans, alias tavern keepers, alias Licensed Yietuallers,” has its official organ in the ll'eekly Review. and it is high time Lire temperance people were awake to the x @111: “fifwihmtl. importance and necessity of having an es- Lnblishment whose time and capital were devoted exclusively to the grand work of gin: diseminating of‘the principles of tem- 1‘m'nnccg. Such an enterpriae cannot but )mn‘e a success, and the Citizen, under its i'r-ghC-nt able management, can be made to :nr-(vt this requirement. The Citizen pub- ii. hing company has already announced its waspeetns, and are about to issue the full amount of its: stock in order to fully equip its establishment for the impontant work. \‘s’e \Ylhh it 51100 The “'Igghri’ Smrm. A good deal of'intcl'ost is just new centre- ing: about the weather_ pi'cdietions for the Shh tn the 11th of the present month. The rapidly becoming celebrated Ottawa Asti'0L~ (.1‘.)(')', D11. E. Stone \‘u'iggins, has predicted a sturm at that time, which lie says will be the grentefit storm‘oi this contury.’ According to l;i< predictions it will commence iu the Xni'llieru Pacific Ocean, a few madred miles uff the Californian coast, South west of Sam Frimciwo, aul taking a westerly direction \x‘iil pass around the would, touching, India: the south of Europe find strike the Conti- mvnt of America alum the Gulf of Mexico, passing: m‘c-r the United States, and on reach- ing; the 1-10le Mountains will be deflected 'n n u :1'thcrly and easterly ('ixteetion, and ml] FWQOD across Canada in its eastward course, iii: Lcriitic violence, about neon on Sunday, n 2 ,’83 the 11th inst. Professor \Viggins has writ- ten the Minister of Marine," the Governor General and the President of the United States concerning the satiety of shipping, concerning which he says: “ No vessel, Whatever her dimensions, will be safe out of harbor, and none of small tonage can hope to survive the tidal wave and fury of this tempest.” President Arthur submitted the prognostication to General W. B. Hazen, Chief Signal Officer of the United States. The General gnve a. lengthy reply to the medication, treating it as a piece of clap- trasp, and stating that it absolutely im- possible for any Scientist, whether he be as- tronomer or meteorologist, to fortell storms or the weather generally so long before hrnd and that it this case, like all others, it is the veriest guess work. Professor Wiggins, how- ever, has received many favorable notices from the press and othen authentic sources as to the accuracy of many hisof predictions conce 'ning storms, and Zadlsiel, the leading seer of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, has Warned mariners to look out for squalls about the 12th inst. This, however, is not strange, as March is invariably stormy: av~ eraging from ten to twenty severe storms during the month, for the past ten years. We concede the Professor to be a man of broad views and to occupy no mean place as an astronomer, but lze is an enthusiast on this question, and his enthusiasm may lead him beyond the range of his knowledge. \V’ith General Huzen we believe too severe a rebuke could not be inflicted upon those who attempt to deceive or needlessly alarm the people. Yet we are open to conviction, and it Dr. Wiggins” predictions are literally verified we shall believe that his calculations are founded upon sune sound scientific principlm But the verification will have to be literal, the day, hour, course. and results to produce the conviction. March being a stormy month in any, case a slight storm that morning or evening, or in a different directihn may only be expected. In the meantime we shall rest easy, and it would be extreme folly for ant~ to become alarmed or allow their imagination to he worked upon so as to begin to drift towards the lunatic asylum by the weather guessing of even such an eminent man as E. Stone Wiggins, M. A., L. L. D. (From our own Correspondent.) A Social and Concert in connection with the l’. M. church was held at Pine Ridge last \Vednesday evening Feb. 21st. The ladies of the church certainly merit our congratulations on the most complete success which attended their efi'orts. In fact the provisions furnisned at the social were of excellent qualitv and show- ed the ladies to be complete masters of the culinary art. After tea a most Com- plete programme was rendered in the church. The Rev. Mr. {00' occupied the chair and also a great portion of the time by inflicting numerous unnecessary speeches on the audience. The Rev. Mr. Harper delivered a stirring address on Character, in which he offered excellent advice to the young people present. He spoke very strongly of the necessity of cultivating a taste for pure literature, and stated that a man’s library was an index of his character. He also advised young men, and more especially young ladies, to select their companions; he agreed with the sentiment expressed in a. musical selection “Stay On The Farm” although he thought if he had remained there he would never have met Mrs. Harper and thus would never have enjoy- ed the blissful life and genial disposition effected through her influence. TheRev. M. B. Crownâ€"â€"\vtmdeful to relateâ€"Avas present and thrilled the audience with his eloqunece. During his remarks he stated that he was in favor of the “Un- ion” and the audience by their roars of laughter, evidently thought his actions of late fully indicated his ideas on the sub- ject Mrs Harper rendered two beautiful seleietons “Lost and Found” and “Rock of Ages.” In her rendition she display- ed pathos and elocutionary powers, her voice is rich and cultured lzer gestures graceful and expressive. Miss Farr, Miss “iilson, Mr. Farr, Mr. Laidlaw, and the two little daughters of Mr. Idol rendered several choice pieces of music. The Hanninguon Administration (Con- servative) of New Brunswick, has been turn- ed out by the Liberals by a vote of Want of confidence of 22 to 18., Mr. Blair}, member for York, and lmdcr of the Opposition has been called to form a Governnmnt.
