The Ontario Legislature, according to the Canada Gazette, has been ummoned fie meet on the 23rd inst. [It will be a very important session, not only because it is the first after the general election, and will therefore determine the strength ‘of Mr. Mowstt and his Government, for upon this depends Ontario’s safety from the wiles of the traitor, but also because there are many matters of importance with which the Legislature must deal. “The changes in the Departmental port folios of the Treasurership and Education will strengthen the hands of the Govern- ment very materially: espicislly so in the letter. Mr. Ross, besides being an ,educationalist of the first standing, and thoroughly posted in the requirements of the people, is one of the ablest debaters an the Dominion. The Boundary ques. tion will probably be discussed, but there will be no action to be taken on it, as there has been an agreement entered into zhetween Ontario and Manitoba by which there is a joint occupancy of that portion of the territory in disnute, which lies north end west of the height of land which divides the territory, while Ontario alone occupies the portion to the south ,and east of said height of land, until the matter can be referred to the Privy z-Gouncil for decision. This arrangement. which is the best that could possibly be made for Ontario, shelves the question for the present. One thing, however, is .cercein, viz., that Mr. Mowat will have ,a good majority in the House, and that power placed in the Premier’s hand will "be used in the interests of the Province whose interests he has so 110ny defended in, the past. paper office are naturally supposed to be 'of all sorts.

One more mark may be put down for whiskey and its victims. On Sunday afternoon last a man was fonndxfrozen to death at Shelburne. He had been to Orangeville on Wednesday last, came to Shelburne and got off the train under the influence of liquor. and started to walk home to his farm in Amaranth, which was the last known of him until found frown on Sunday. When found he had a. bottle of whiskey, partly empty. Yet how unavailing are these warnings, and the authorities continue to legalile this form of murder and suicide.

Mrs. H. K. Dolbeer, mother of Mrs. W. 0. Patterson. whose death took. place on Dec. tith, 1883, was born at Canaan, New Hamp- shire. May 24th. 1792. She. in company with her husband and one child, came to Perry in 1818 Iron) Franconia, making the entire journey, which occupied four weeks, in their own conveyance. The condition of the roads at that early period in the settle- ment of this part of the country is evidenced by the foot that it took them one whole day to come from Moscow to Perry, distant about seven miles. Boon afl er taking up her resi- denoe in Perrv she united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and at her deoeasn was the oldest living member. For sixty-five years she had lived in the same house.â€"-one that for many years furnished a temporary, home for the itinerant Methodist ministers: and others,who always received a hospit- able welcome. A marked trait of her char- roter was her sympathy ,for the poor and friendless, and her kindness of heart and unbounded charity Were limited only by the opportunity to manifest them.
