Ross,tlie Provincial Treasurer will have made his annual statement, showing the position of the Ontario finances. be- fore this reaches the eyes of your readers, Among the measures already introduCed by the Government is one that provides that Municipalities may upon the petition of seventy five per cent. of the store keep ers pat-8a bylaw to compel the stoic keepers within their limits to close their places of business at a certain hour. The design of the bill is to prevent a few merchants, who will not consent to close at a resonable time, from thus forcing all the others to keep their stores open until such an hour as the obstinate ones put up their shutters. The bill is certainly a de~ cided move in the rlglit direction and is very generallv approved. Since my last letter Mr. Whitney. Conservative, has been elected to succeed Dr. Chamberlain, Liberal who sat for the County of Don- dasdurlnu thelast session, whilst Mr. Clark, Liberal, has been chosen for East Nortliuinberlond in the place of Dr. Willoughny the former conservatives member. The numerical strength of the parties therefore remains just as it was.

VVUrk ing us must of them do from early in the mornng until six and on some days until eleven o’clock at night, many of them on their feet all day, they receive but very slight reinnneratiun for their labor. A person passing the places of employment as the girls leave their work at night cun- nut fail being struck with the pale and Lii‘ed looking fuses of nearly all of them. Many of them doubtless have exchanged a healthy Country home for the uncertain pleasures of a city life. It would have been much better for those country girls had they been contented to reumiii where they Were; it would have been vastly bet- ter for future generations.

Two svelecy papers have entered npnu an existence, the duration uf which fate has not yet decreed. Altogether the present seusun has I think bnen of more than usual brilliancy. in political circles the situation has changed but little. The defeat of the Reform candidate in Halton has added to the general deuioralizntlon of the Lib- eral party, whilst a feeling of unrest and of dissatisfaction with the present condi- tion of the country prevades even the Con servative ranks. Party lines appear to be drawn less stroneg than ever before, and men express themselves freely on the public questions of the day.

Were he to endeavor to thwart the popular will as expressed by the people’s representatives, or make an attempt to carry into effect his own individual wishes, we shonld declare that his usefulness was gone, but if then, as necessarily follows, he is of use only in his doing nothing, why should we main tain him 7 The doings of the Fisheries Commission are kept, very secret so that, no ona out- side thuse engaged can say what pingress is being made. As far, however, as we can judge matters are at a. deadlock, the Amelican Commissioners claiming a sur- render of the rights which the Canadians claim under the Treaty of 1818, whilst Sir Charles Tupper offers to give them up in rem-n: for the free admission by the United States of our natural products enly. Mr. Chamberlain is said to be willing tn ucede to the American demands but is making a show of hulding out for awhile. We shall soon know what the Cnmmissinners will or v.ill not do. The financial depression is being severe- l_v felt. among our merchants. Every few days another failure is reported, and it does nnt appear when the end will be reached. Dehturs of the defunct, Central Bank will soon be called upon to pay up. and some of them will hardly be able to stand the pressure.

Minutes of last meeting, held on Jan. 16:11, read and continued. Mr. H. C. Clubine, of the firm of Clubine J: 00., of Stoufl'ville, addressed the Council in reference to the laying of asphalt sidewalks, for which he is agent. He mentioned Barrie, Stoufl‘ville, Mark- ham and other places where he had done a. good deal of the work, and said he was prepared to state it had given i'Ood satis- faction. The sidewalk complete would cost ~15 cents asquare yard. and he would give a. guarantee for five years. The Council looked upon the scheme with favor, and said they would consider the matter before the time of building sidewalks. The following bills were presented and ordered to be paid:â€"M.H.Keefler, print- ing bills, ballot papers, 850., for Munici- pal and School Trustee Elections, $6.25; Village Inspector, keepmg tramps, 80cts. Mr. H. Miller addréssed the‘ Council in reference to their securing a car load of lumber from an Onllia. firm. He thought the hemlock would be better than what could be purchased in this para of the country. The Council agreed to let know in due time. The Reeve introduced the question of building a. luck~up for the village, giving good reasons why he considered such was necesxary. He thought; the cost would be in she nelglxburhoud of $100 or $125.
