Women Voters. Last week some of the lllliir‘h‘ of the W. C. T. Union ware around the village getting sinners to a petition a>king the Ontario Leg- lalure, now in Ses8lull, to pass an act giving the franchise, to wiluws and unmarried wo- men possr :::ing the necessary property qual- ifiedtion, as well as men. Last. session an attempt. was made to Confer the right to vole on all women having the necrssary qualiti- calions, whetlici married or single. In our opinion the Legislature were wise in voting down such a proposal. But the last move is altogether diflerent. The ground taken is that all property should be represented. At present widows and spinners are allowed to vote at Municipal eleclinns, and we see no reason whv the same priVilepe should not be extended in the case of members to the Leg- lalive Assembly. Wedding Bells. On Wednesday cvening, the 22nd inst, a very pleasant assembly met at the residence of S. T. Humberslone. Esq., Newton Brook, to witness the marriage of 05cm J. Brown, of Richmond Hill, to Miss Mina Speight, sister of Mrs. S. 1‘. Bumberstone, and young- est daughter of the late Samuel Spcight,Esq., of Acton West. The ceremony was perform- ed by the Rev. Canon Oslcr, Rector of St. John’s Church, York Mills. The bride, r:- splendent in her well-chosen costume, quite surpassed her usual loveliness. 'l‘ne biides- maid, Miss Gussie Speigbi, of Markham, was really charming. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Benjamin Brown. The numerous presents were valuable and useful. Two very handsome Family Bibles appeared among the collection, one bi-iug the gift of Mr. and Mrs. J. Brown, of Richmond Hill. After partaking of a sumptuous repast- and enduring a small boy serenade, the party dis- persed, the bride and groom leaving on their tour, taking with them the best wishes of their many fricn ’ ’ “The Wrongs of Humanity" Last Sabbath evening the Rev, Mr. Perciâ€" val preaceed an eloquent sermon to a large congregation in the Presbyterian church, on “the wrongs of humanity” taking as his text Lamentations 3rd Chap. Verses 35 and 3G - “To turn aside the right of a. man before the face of the most high. 'l‘o subvert a man in his cause the Lord approvet'u not.” The wrongs of humanity be divided into two great classes, the external and the internal. Under the former he dwelt at length on the wrongs man suffered nndomhe existing land laws particularly those of the old land. There the ownership of the Soil was vested in the bands of a comparaiive few and it was pracâ€" tically impossible the poor, horny handed sons of toil to ever hold a foot of it. Under the wrongs of government he laid down the principle that those to whom the affairs of the slate were enlrusted should conduct them in as judicious and economical a manner as they do theirown private allairs. In his judgment it was wrong tojshelve and superan- nuate a servant of the state who is but in the prime (IfilfC‘ lo make room for some political friend and thereby increase the taxation of rho conulrv.. Amongst. other points reviewed were labour laws, socialism, scrviliiy, comincrcuil dishonesty and intem- pcrauce. He urged the claims of temperance not only in regard to intoxicating liquors but in its broader sense to be “tempeiaid in all things.” Sonic there are who in regard to ' intoxicating liquors Wlluld neither touch, l taste nor liniidlu, but who are inlemperale in I words and deeds. This should not be. In concluding ‘ie stale-l that the lighting of man’s rights and the remedy for his wrongs were not to be bad by loud dcclamalions and in urging the people against constituted authority but in educating the people with sound knowledge viz: â€"â€"lhe Ethics of Chris- tianity. To realize that we are a common brotherhood and to act out the principles of the golden rule "whatever ye Would that men should do to you, on ye even so to them.“ i The sermon was an able effort to deal from a scriptural standpoint Wllll those great and difficult social problems which are day by day demanding solution. Hose Practice. The iirsl; of a series of pi'iiclices for a Hose COLIlcSt which will take place on the Park on the first Friday in May, was held in the Council cliambr-i-l‘ist Monday night. Any member of the Brigade, in good standing, is , eligible to l1ther acompetitor. Each coup- ' Ier draws his mate by lot. The contest con- sists of making four couplings; two loose couplings to be made and two tight ones to be broken. At the first practice SIS pairs of ccuplers slatted as follows: - No. 1, Innes if: \Vrigbl; 2, Trevcthun & Atkinson; 3, Den- ’ nelly 5r Trench; «l, Nicliolls & Morrison; 5, Savage & Sanderson; 6, McLean d6 Ashton. After three trials for each team is was found that No. 6 stood ahead by 9 seconds. No l doubt the average Wlll be brought down each night till the final. The prizes will be the same as last year,but a sweepstakes will aftrr- wards be given to the fastest pair who may ban- the privilege of selecting their own mate l l Bond‘s Lake Races. The matiuoe held on the ice, Bond's Lake, on Friday, was scarcely up to that of last year. The committee could not. have asked for a more delightful day. The iitt‘ndance was large and the track was in admirable condition. From the “horse talk” indulged in previous to the day it was expected that many entries would be made in each race, but when time was called it was found that several of the owners of the fast horses in the surrounding parts had chaung their minds. In the Gentleman's linad Rice, W. ll. Pi’octor‘e Lady Banker had it. all her own way, and the some might be said of Waller Pulmei‘s C. P. R. in the Green Race. The judges Wo-re Messrs. F.

A large audience attended the concert given by the Choir of SLAndrew’s church, Toronto, last Friday cveningfin the Pres- byterian church, in behalf of the organ fund. The choir consisted of about 30 voices, led by Mr. Grant, and gave a. moat pleasing and acceptable entertain- ment. It would be invidious to make comparisons when every part was so well sustained. suffice it to say that it was a. rich intellectual treat. Alter the concern the choir were entertained at the resid- ence of Mrs. Nublc,'d.lld were then driven to the city.
