The joint meeting of the Reform electors of East and West York. held in the interest of Mr. G. B. Smith and Dr. Gilmonr, was a most enthusiastic one. Mr. John Lane, ex- M. P. P., occupied the chair, and had little trouble in maintaining order, so eager were those present to listen to the speakers. The two gentlemen already mentioned gave short and spirited addresses, and were supported by Mr. Mulock, M. P. for North York, and Mr. Peter Ryan. one of Toronto’s greatest orators; Mr. Armstrong was on the plat- form, and spoke in favor of Dr. Orr. and made a feeble attempt to defend Mr. Mere- dith. the leader of the Ontario Opposxtion. Mr. Humberstone held forth on his own be- half, and after defining himself its an Inde- pendent candidate,asking the suflrages of the electors of East York. he endeavored to abuse the administration of the Hon. 0. Mownt, showing that they had been extrava- gant, and had actually spent in five years the sum of $35 in flower pots, and had paid $7.00 as one year’s subscription to the Daily Globe which was sent to the Orillia asylum. Dr. Orr. who had held a meeting in another place, came in between 11 and 12 o‘clock, when the last speaker was on the floor. The meeting, which was strongly in favor of the Liberal candidates, broke up petweeu 1.2 3nd 1 o’clock. ’ Band of Hope Concert.

Mr.» Sisley, who resides with her daughter, Mrs. Sterling, of this village, reached her hundredth birthduy, and is consequently a centenuriun. The aged lady has two sisters li~ing, Mrs. Armi- tnge, of Stoulfvilte, aged 89, the other, Mrs. Playter, of Reach, aged 86. and a. brother. Mr. John Wilson, of Whitehurch, aged 82. The united ages of this long lived family makes 357. The father of a. family of. eleven boys and girls was n U. E. Loyalist, who went to New Brunswick during the struggle for American Independence, and came to Ontario in 1811. Since this lady first open- ed her eyes the world has undergone runny changes. At that time this village was a fore-st, and Toronto was nowhere ; there were no Bible, Misstonary or Tract Societies; there were no railroads. telegraphs or tele- phones, no submurine transmissions and no penny postage. No kerosene, no gas, and no electric lights. No mowingI thrashing, washing or sewing machines. There were no professional tramps, drummers or dudes; No one ever struck "ile.” There were no false teeth, false hair, bangs or bustles, and no one chewed gum. There was no tangle- leg, lager beer or fortvn‘od whiskey. When folks got married there were no wedding tours, when they died there were no hearses. And when people went out of this world they did not go by ruilrond disaster, steam- boat explosion or dynamite. They generally died from natural causesâ€"Com.
