Im-------- Hath Sutavio Fbserher ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR JAMES BAIRD, PORT PERRY, JULY 31, 1879. Our Prospects. This is tho season of the year when Ceres, fair and munificent goddess, begins to open hier lap and scatter her gifts, to change the green of our fields to the golden tint and invite her children the sons and daughters of husbandry, to prepare to gather in their sto: es, to receive the tokens of her munifi- cence, and all are now alert and watchful, anxiously waiting the time for the distribu. tion of the gifts of the munificent goddess. -- Rut cven at this advanced season one can- not predict with certainty the result of the coming harvest, but unless something very uousual occur the approaching harvest will be productive of the greatest good to Can-- adians, a season of rejoicing and financial recuperation; one stringent finances will relax, the dark cloud which hangs over our industries disperse, hope take the place of doubt and the general prosperity of the eountry regain its healthful equilibrinm.-- In whichever direction one casts his eye over the vast field of nature luxuriant crops meet the gawe all telling the same cheerful tale: and holding out prospects of coming prosperity. In many instances in the case of spring wheat the crop appears to be ra her thin en the ground, but the well developed heads and unusually plump grain will more than compensate for the comparatively slight yield, There cannot be a reasonable doubt but that bottom has just been fouched in the dark sea of general de- pression which has enshrouded our fair land theso several years and played the mischief with our industries ; but the pre- sent bountiful barvest will doubtless be the harbenger of a more propitious state of things. In all times as the season comes round the maturing crops have b2en watched with a large degree of anxicty but the anxiety of the past is as nothing compared with the anxious solicitation of the present, knowing as we all do that to a great exlent the weal or woe of the country depends on the result of the present harvest. That the yield of our crops of every kind will be abundant is now within reasonable hope and that the price will be no less satisfactory than the yield, may also be regarded as reasonably certain and with large crops and and generous prices an impetus will be given to our various interests which will go fac to. wards restoring that mutual confidence ine despensible to the mercantile prosperity of any { people. The business vitality of our country Las been put toa rude and some~ what protracted test we have weathered a storm of unusual severity and numerous as our wrecks have been we have reason to re- joice that they have not been more numer- ous and that we have come out of breakers as well as we now are and that we have the The harvest, the immediate prospect of better times, prospects of a magnificent somewhat reduced stocks of produce on hand, the largely increased demand for American produce in Britain, France and other Eucopean couniries coupled with the assurance that the great grain fields of the States will not be up to an average yicld vn the present harvest all go to prove that Canadian produce will command such prices as will go far to restore our wanted prosperity and aguin sect us on our onward march on the path of progress and prosper- ity, being all the wiser for the somewhat sharp lesson we have just been taught, and in our more prosperous times while we pull ahead with all our vim we will be more careful than in the past to look back over our pre- sent experiences. Coming events cast their shadows before and already the cheering harvest prospects are infusing a warmth and energy oto almost every department of business, not as yet come to the surface it may be but the under current is already visible and in & comparatively short time Wi will have i ach ani mation and the sun of prosperity again shine forth on our fair Province with its animating glow, -- Putting it to Him. The Lieu-Gov. of Quebec has just been obliged to step down and out. The following document placed in his hands on the 25th inst settled the matter, gave tho Globe and its following the staggers and hoisted St. Luc out of the official chair. "Quxsec, 25th July, 1879. "To the Hon. Luc Lelellier de St. Just, Spencerwood, Quebec : ot Bin,~I am commanded by his Exocel- dency the Governor-General to inform that by the order of his Excellency-in- Council passed this date, you are removed from the office of Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Quebec, aud that the cause as- signed for such removal, in conformity with the provisions of the 69th section of British North America Act of 1867, is that after the vote of the House of Commons of last session aod that of the Senate during the procecd- ing session relative to your conduct as y Your usefulness as such bas ceased, "1 have the honor to be, * Your most humble and Obedient servau + Epovarp J. r ly " Under Secretary of State" ~ Tt is not at all surprising that .much interest should have been 'taken in the isssue of this rather intricate subjoct and so long as the rly und honestly dis' lovers of our free institu- pleased to bave the matter ; that they did misrepresent the question we think all will mow readily admit but jt would be taking an extreme view of tho situation to attribute all this misreprosentation to malicious perversity while the fact is that very much of it is attrib utable to stone:blind political party- ism. If they were not politically ! blind they would know better than risk their reputations in making so stupid assertions as they have done on this matter. While we were well aware that our readers were by no means indifferent spectators of this grand constitational contest we let the matter severely alone know- ing as we did that it was in good bunds and would be handled in a manner worthy of so important a question and tnat the constitution should not suffer from the contact. It may bo necessary, at least for those of-our readers who may have paid little or no attention to the matter to give one or two lines of reference. Our readers are aware that Licu- Gov. Letellier was made Gov. by tho graco of the late Premier of the Dominion, Mr. Mackenzie, they aiso know that a short time previous to the lato Dominion elections and at a time when the Government of Quebec enjoyed tlhe confidence of the peoples' representatives by an over- whelming majority, that all of a sudden the Lieu. Gov. dismissed his miaisters, sent for Mr. Joly and placed the Government or at least the formation of a new Ministry in his bands. Mr. Letellior was a strongly marked Grit, the Govern- ment he dismissed wore Tories and Mr. Joly to whom he entrusted the formation of a new Government was also a zealous Grit. And with the coming Dominion elections in view it bocamo obvious to every one that the Mackenzie Government were ut the bottom of this high- handed act and that the whole was a base attempt to secure Quebec votes for the Mackenzie party in the coming elections ; Lotellier being assured that the Mackenzie party would be roturned to power that Le would be held harmless for this violation of his important tiust; and that the men who had induced the violation would protect the violator. This is how people viewed it. But unfortunately for all of them the Muckenzie party were driven to the wall to such an extent as leave them powerless for good or evil, and poor TLetellier must now stand the brant of bis un- worthy subserviency. The party it is rue, did their best to shield their protege but they were powerless and the dupe musty now stand on his own defence, Mackenzie and all his sympathisers no less than his op- ponents knew that if justice were meted out to the erring Letellier he could mot hold bis position one hour, but all of them make a des- perate effort to shield the unworthy occupant of the Lieu.Governor's chair, and as this could not be done by fair means recourse was had to means the most unworthy. The Globe and its aids not having one legitimate palliation to offer sought to stir up sufficient mud to hide the iniquity of the act so that the public might be disposed to pass it over with a simple rebuke. But finding that nothing less than tho official head of the offending Governor would satisfy for the unwarrantable assult on the Constitution, mud is changed to fire and vengenco dark and decp is threatened against all and sundry who may be accessory to the decapa= itation of the doomed Governor. 'Well, the deed is done, poor Letellier's temerity has cost him bis official head, and now that tho desperate efforts pot forth to save bim havo failed, even the fire eaters when they wipe the partizan mist from their eyes will be ready to acknowledge that the sword of re- tributive justice has in this instance been wielded in freedom's cause and that the offender has only got his deserts. Suppose for instance that a a Lieu.-Governor might on every wiim dismiss his ministers without the slightest regard to the wishes of tho people as manifested by their representatives in the House, what would be the result? why Lieu.- Governors would become little auto crats, their Ministers would havo to be their subsurvient tools or their seals would not be worth a week's purchase and so far from having " Government by the people" as wo now boast of, we would have the most wretched little, tyrannical despotisms any where to be found. No! No! while a majority of the people's representatives approve of and support a ministry no man nor set of men, not even the sovereign of the realm has any right to step in and dismiss theso ministers. -- Were it otherwise, so called froe you! institutions would be » meaningless burlesque at the whim or caprice of everything calling itself a governor or ruler. It will be some time ere another Canadian Lieu.-Gov. dares to place unhallowed bands on tho mouths of the people and sek to dictate to them as to tho choice of their rulers or toll them they have uo right to select their own rulers. The simple mention.of the name Letellier will be sufficient to recall presumptuous governors to a sonse of duty, and in future which ever rulers the people select will be al- lowed to retain their positions so long as the people wills it and no longor; and the representatives selocted by the people will be the exponents of the people's will and neither vernor nor any otber official will be allowed to interperate that will. The country cannot fail in being fully pati with the manner in wh this disagreeable affair has been wound a. There may likely ng be some growling but it will amount to nothing and ool down in a few . There will be some tall talk until the surplns gas works off when all will tarn in and applaud the wisdom of the degision, the township of Reach. Her course is decidedly upward and onward. -- In property improvements we have Mr. Weirls place south of Prince Albert 'which is very tine, Further to the south Mr. McDonald is still further improving his tine property, ho is erecting a lurge and comwodi- ous barn with every nocessury con- veniences, with superior under ground stables, root sto. es, &c. He is renewing his fences and construct ing them with a view to perman. ence no less than safety. Mr R. W. Johnston's place west of Prince Albert is ono of the best improved places anywhere to be found.-- Since Mr. Jobnston purchasd this property it has undergone most im- portant improvements, comfortable, sightly buildings have been erected and a large portion of the land which up to that time had been of little useis now thoroughly cultivat ed and improved so thatthe farm and its surroundings are creditable alike to the industry, liberality and intelligence of its proprietor and ap ornament to the locality. In the North of Prince Albert Mr. Hayes is erecting a magnificent residence which will add very much to the appearance of that section of the village. Mr. Jeffrey's and Me. Squelch's fine reside ices in the eastern section of the village are in keepingwith the other improvements So that Prince Albert and its surroundings are at least keeping pace with the important improve- ments going on in the other parts of the township. The village of Man chester too is pressing forward ; in tho south section of the village Mr. Joshua Dobson is erecting a beauti- ful brick residence which will add to the beauty of that section of the village. In the centre of the village Mrs. Wm. McConnell is having a comfortable residence put up. To tho north of tho village improve. ments are still being pressed by Messrs. Lamb, Fitchett and Harper; the hand of industry is no where more manifest than on the handsome farms of these parties. Along the Oshawa road as it passes through Rench vast improvements are being pushed, lands which till very re-- cently were of little value are being wo improved that they are now both ornamental and highly valuable. The second concession, especially that portion of it known as Quaker street is holding its own in the march of improvement with the rest of the township, it is decidedly one of the finest lines in the country when the quality of the soil is con- sidered. On the 6h concession Mr. Crozier is erecting a magnificent brick dwelling on the Corsan pro- perty which be lately purchased. Mr. Donald Christie is erecting a barn on his premises near Utica,-- The reeve of the township is erecting - a handsome residence on his property near Epsom -- On tho Barrett farm on the centre roada handsome new barn is just completed. So that while the ornamental ir. being woll attended to throughout the townsnip the useful is by no means neglected ; the im provements are all of the most sub- stastial nature and no necessary outlay is being spared. -- The Exception Establishes the Rule. Our town fathers in their wisdom laid it down as a rule that no side- walks should be built within the corporation during the present yoar of grace but that the concentrated effort of the street commissioners should be brought to bear on those streets in the town which were most traveled and stood most in nuved of repair, and at these they went with avim worthy of them. Queet St. was the principal object of attention and an effort was put forth to place this street in a condition something in proportion to the enterprise of our lively town. Other streets were not noglected and certainly the com missioners deserve credit for what they have done and done well; bat they have made one sad omission, there is one part of the most public street in town which has been pass- ed over as if it were no matter whether or not the people got drowned in coming into town. On Simcoe St. between tho Jewott and Harrington properties there is about the worst pioce of road to be found in the county, itis not of great extent but it is disgraceful and parties passing through it must form a very inditforent opinion of the enterprise of a town which will permit the existence of such a spot; they will naturally ask "is this your great Port Perry?" Between the properties referred to there is whenever the weather is at all wet, an abominable slough not decp enough to swim across and too deep and thick do drive through. -Am out- lay to the extent of a few dollars would wake this spot all rightand make it a credit in place of a disgrace, To be in keeping we suppose, with this slough the sidewalk on the east side of the street at this spot is ever in the most filthy, disagreeable con- dition so that parties arc annoyed in passing it. If the worthy overscer of our strects would give a little attention to this nasty spot he would secure the thanks of all passers whether walking or driving. In referring to the rule in the matter cf sidewalks our street commissioners have in their wisdom introduced one or two slight exceptions,a short one on the Avenue and an important but inexpensive one on North street for which our commissioners deserve the hearty thanks not alone of the inhabit. ants of that street but of all who have occasion to travel that way. The commis- sloners doubtless imagined that they were doing well--and so they were--when to their great astonishmient they were served with a special summons ordering them to appear before the united wisdom of the town fathers and defend if they can, their sidewalk policy. But whether the com- plaint hinged on too much or too little side walk we were unable to learn we only know that there was a pitched battle, an intell. ectual fight over the matter and that those He} made the quarrel came off only second of marks to secure cortificates :-- Bateman, Wm. A. McCulloch, Nellie Collins, Fred'k A, McKinlay, ad. Collins, Arthur Madden, Mary A. Christie, Emily Ross, John ¥, Gormley, John Risdon, Johu'J, Hamilton, Urins C. Reid, James H. Heszelwood, Oliver Hoag, William E, Harper Irvil A, Minty Robert, Marwood, Fred"k G. This is u small proportion being only one in five of the applicants; this, however, should neither dis- courage the applicants nor displease the public, us too easily obtained certificates would be no advantage to either party; the higher the standard is placed tho betters it for both teachers and people. Of course examination papers on all subjects should be ot a practical nature and necessitate a thorough knowledge of the principles of the subject to which the paper refers, whimsical questions and intricate catches should be carefully avoided. The getting up of the papers and all other duties performed by the central board cost the province enough in all conscience that we may fairly demand really first-class papers. The principle as to the the numbers of marks adopted was doubtless the same as that followed in other counties, the total numbor of marks was placed at 1275, , no- thing less than one half of which would secure a certificate. The rule was that to obtain a certificate can- didates must get 20 per cent. on each subject, 40 per cent. on each group of subjects and 50 per cent. on the whole. "Of course 20. per cont. on each subject would not secure a certificate but less than 20 per cent. on any subject would deprive the applicant of a certificate although well up in other subjects. Stinson Albert W. Stinson, Edwin 'Walks, Robert Woodruff, Emma Toronto and Ottawa Railroad. We are pleased to find that this vastly important undertaking is not being lost sight of, the company are still confident of its final success and are losing no available opportunity of pressing its claims. This is as it should be, for no other scheme has ever been presented having equal claims on the confidence and support of the people of this province as it cannot fail in proving of the utmost importance to the entire province in furnishing an expeditious, a direc: and cheap means of transit to the valuable freight and passenger traffic througn the entire length of the province. [t is expected that another bonus by-law will be sub- mitted to the people of Toronto shortly, asking $200,000 in aid of this scheme and it cannot be sup- posed that Toronto will hesitate in carrying. such a bonus by a hand some majority, it is not only the duty butit will bo very mach to the interest of that Giiy to secure this work ; such & work is indispensable not alone to the City but to those lines leading there from the west.-- The several municipalities along the route of this road ought now to put forth a united effort to have this work pushed the coming fall and secure from the Government such a grant as the undertaking deserves. S-------- Intelligent Perseverance. Amongst our numerous industries there is no other whose progress has been so marked or whose 'victory is so complete as that of our Pump manufacture under the energetic, skillful direction of Mr. Irvin,-- Some ten years ago when Mr, Irvin opened his Pump Factory in this locality, a good pump was scarcely to be had and all around, miserable, worthless pumps were the rule, a good pump was a very rare exception ; chain pumps, draw wells, lever and bucket and every variety of rickety pump met the gaze in every direction but a good pump was a phenomenon, so much so that a regu- lar supply of the invaluable beverage, water, But Mr, Irvin had not long established his pump factory was by no means certain, in this section of country, ere his skill and energy made felt, © good pumps soon becams the rule, and just as rapidly as he could manufacture his excellent themselves pumps the whole race of apologies dis- appeared ono after another until Irvin's Pumps were the only ones to be seen any where around, and all rejoiced in their good pumps and their bountiful supply of water: But the superiority of Mr. Irvin's Pumps soon became known over largely increased erritory, and the orders so multi. plied that he was obliged to largely extend his premises and greatly increase his manufacturing facilities, With these ends in view he has{built a large and well gppoiut. ed factory opposite To foes Pi Bey, and introduced steam power in the manu- facture of his pumps, and has got Lis manu- facture to such perfection that Irvin's pumps are sought after in this entire region of country, and no one knowing any thing of the superiority of these pumps will take any other, so that the demand keeps pace with his increasing facili- ties of manufacture, Notwithstanding the great superiority of his pumps, Mr, Irvin keeps his prices so low that every dwelling may enjoy the advantages of one of his pumps, ------ A Comfortable Residence for Sale. We direct the attention of parties wishing to purchase an every way comfortable resi- dence to Mr. C. C. Kellett's advegls elsewhere in this issue, It is but seldom that so favorable an opportuaity is offered for purchasing a choice residence in a prosperous town like Port Perry, and were it not that Mr. Kellett is about to erecta residence near his new nursery no one would get the chance to purchase this property, -- The property is all that could be desired for appearance, convenience, health and comfort. (See the Adv.) . decision of the County Court in the late stitute labor squabble. In the first place Mr Mowat declares the by-law to be faulty in its definition of what constitutes one an in. habitant and in the second place t'.at the municipality has not the right to appeal, so that the township must grin and bear it, the loss to the township will doubtless exceed a hundred dollars. The case must have been bably handled or rather it was not handled at all ; there certainly was no necessity for the township losing one dollar in the matter Going ahead is all good enough but muni- cipalities no less than individuals should first be sure they are in the right. This is one of the by.laws of which we told our muni. cipal futhers over two years ago that they were not worth the paper on which they are written and got nearly worried for our pains. One of the by-laws to which we then referred bas since been repealed and this one should have been consigned to the waste basket such will doubtless be its fate now. EE Worthy of Notice. We have before us the annual Catalogue of the Hamilton Wesleyan Female College for the years 1878 and 1879, We are pleased to know that this highly meritorious in- stitution which is uow in its 18th year is deservedly regarded as one of our most valued, useful and successful educational institutions, supplying a most important place in the ed 1 field, fu as it does a thorough education, practical, use- ful and ornamental to the many young ladies who patronize its classes, 1t has long been contended and hat with good reason, that female education has not received that degree of attention to which from its great importance it is so justly entitled. This institution however has done a noble work in that direction as attested by the hosts of thoroughly accom- plished young ladies who have graduated within its walls and bave passed out into the world the lights of happy homes and shedding amongst their oftspring and the neighborhood in which they reside the blessed influences of that education received in the Hamilton Wesleyan Female Colleg: which instiotion they regard with gratitude aud will always so regard their worthy Alma Mater. We are pleased to find the names of twoof our Prince Albert young ladies on the students' roll, Miss Bongard, second danghter of Jacob Bongard, Esq , and Miss Biooks, two young ladies who will doubtless do honor to themselves by their general proficiency and many good qualities and reflect credit on the College by the exercise of those accomplishments acquired in the institution. Miss Bongard is this year graduating in the M, E. L. (Mistress of English Literature) degree and will loubtless succeed. She deservedly occupies a prominent position among the students In the Literary Society connected with. the College, Miss Bongard occupies the honor able position of vice president. At the College graduation Exercises in the Cen- tenary Church, Hamilton, in June last, Miss Bongard was one of the principal performers We are pleased to find our active young ladies partaking of the invaluable instruc- tion furnished by this admirable institution. Ai edi Daring Burglary. A cool but daring burglary was perpetrated on the residence of James Squelch, Esq, Merchant, Prince Albert, between the evening of the 20th and the morning of the 30th inst. Master and Mistress Squelen retired about the usual hour, between ten and eleven, on the night of the 20th leaving a lamp burning on a table in the bed room, the doors and windows were all fast, the pantry window was raised a little but the ventian outside was fastencd.-- The burglar or burglars in order to gain an entrance broke the bottom slats of the venitian and putting in their band unfastened the blind, raised the window and passed through the pantry into the bed room in which Mr. and Mrs. Squelch were sleeping, took Mr. Bquelch's pants from the bedside, extinguished the lamp, took Mr. Squelch's pocket book trom his pant pocket, threw down the pants in the pantry and made their escape in the same manner as they entered. The pocket book contained a $4 bill, a $1 bill, about $6 in silver, quite a number of notes, receipts and ather papers. Before retiring Mr. Squelch took $50 out of his pocket book and laid it away, otherwise that too would have goue. It is the duty and interest of all wishing well to society to make ita personal matter to endeavor to discover and bring to punishment the perpetiators af so daring an act No man's property is safe while such characters are at large, Scugog Bridge Tenders. Tenders ived by the C up to the time given for putting in the same :-- Thos, Deverell $11,200; Duncan McMillan $10,300; J V Thompson $10,200; Thomas Graham §9,700; Joseph Bigelow $9.6 10; Jesse Ireland $9,488; 8 Griffin $9,300; 8 H . | Christian $9,000; W E Yaruold £9,000; H Gordan $8,800; N § Dyer $6,860, The above tenders were all in by the 18th inst. the time set forth by the advertisement asking for tenders, On July 23rd Wm, Trennam tendered at $7,300, On July 24th Jas Montgomery tendered at $6,830. The following tenders were put in on July 28th, D McMillan $9,800; J V Thompson $9,800;J V Thomp- son $7,485. On the 29th Thos Deverell tendered at $9,800. " On the 28th day of July the tender*of Wm Trennum, of the town of Peterboro, was accepted and an agreement entered into bo- tween the said Contractor and the cor- poration of the County of Ontario 'binding said Contractor to bave the work completed according to specifications, on or before October 1st, 1880. The sum of 84,900 is to be paid when the material has been placed in a proper position on the said dway Of course the Contractor is bound to furnish all the material. The Commissioners are 'not bound to accept of the work before Opt, 1st }880 but the timber work must be done not later than July 1st and the gravel work not later than September 1st. The Contrac- tor is further bound not to interrupt public travel in way ot driving or riding for a longer period than two weeks during the Another Victory for the Whitby Harvester. We learn from the Whitby papers that a | reaper trial came off on the 16th inst,, in the Township of Murray, in a heavy field of rye, The following machines competed, vis: Brown's Whitby Harvester, Joseph Hall Co's Cossit's Maxwell Reaper, Paris Maxwell Reaper, and the new Bradléy Harvester, -- The judges made each machine cat one acre. Brown's Whitby Harvester obtained the first, Newcastle Harvester second; and the Maxwell Reaper, third, This is speaking well for Brown's Whitby Harvester, . We scarcely expected that the Whitby Hurvester would again be brought into competition, like an invincible conquorer we expected that it would be allowed to rest on its laurels but it is all the better for a brush now and again in order to further manifest its superiority, The g certainly owe the enterprising manufactures of this valuable machine a debt of gratitude, The inventors and manufacturers of those agricultural machines and implements which best answer the purpose for which they are designed are public benefactors in the best sense of the term. ------ A Pen Worth Recommending. Wo have been favored with samples of the celebrated Sponcerian Double Elastic Steel Pens, and after trying them feel justified in highly recommending them to our readers. They are made of the best steel, and by the most expert workmen in England, and have a national reputation for certain desirable qualities which no other pens seemed to have attained in so great perfection, among which are uniform evenness of point, durab, ility, flexibility, and quill action. It is thus quite natural that the Spencerian should be preferred and used by professional penmen, in business colleges, counting. rooms, government offices, public schools and largely throughout the country, Indeed 80 popular have they become, that of the "Number One," alone, as many as eight millions are sold annually in the United States, The Spencerian Pens may be had, as a rule, from any dealer; but when not thus obtainable, the agents, Messrs. Alexander Burtin & Co., 345 St. Paul Strect, Montreal, will send for trial, samples of the twenty numbers on receipt of twenty cents, a Day too Soon. Not The Solicitor-General of the Legislature of Quebec has introduced and passed its first reading a Bill to determine cases in which Coroner's inquests may be held, In urging the claims of his Bill the mover said that iuquests were held in numbers of unnecessary cases and that the Bill was in- tended to restrict inquests to cases of death under suspicious circumstances, It is high time that such a law was passed in this Province as' well as in Quebec. It is a difficult matter to restrain the omnipresent and rapacious Coroners from snatching every corpse theycan get their hands on summoning a jury, ordering a post mortem and making all the disylay of a court though the party may have died of a ten year's cousumption, --_-------- Education in Quebec. The Legislature of Quebec are taking the educational matter in hand and inserting the pruning knife in the right place. On motion for the second reading of Mr Gaguon's Dill to reduce the salary of the superintendent of Public Instruction to $2,400. Mr. Jolly announced that the Governmen intended to intrcduce a measure to affect certain changes in the Department of Public Instruction, and proposed to reduce the salary of the superintendent to $3,000, Mr. Gagnon accepted the statement and withdrew his bill. Mr. Mercier in reply to M. Prefontaine, said the Government intended to introduce a measure abolishing inspectors of schools and establishing a more economical system sm ------ The Storm of Saturday. Much destruction of property was caused by che starm of Saturday lust especially outside of our southern boarder. In Philadelphia trees were torn up by their roots, roofs were blown oft houses, barns, &o., and scattered all over. In Petrolia about eighty residences were washed away, one line of railway damaged to the extent of $10,000, and a general damage amounting to ten times that amount. The growing crops have suffered to a fearful extent, A telegram from Brockville, July 27, says --About 3 p. m. a terrible thunder storm passed over this place. Hail stones as large as marbles fell. The lightning was very severe. The wife and child of George Hutton, boat builder, who were on the A meri ore, opposite here took refuge under a tree, The child was killed in its mother's arms and Mrs. Hutton fatally in- jured, She appears paralized and uncon- scious, It is reported that a man named Laracque was also struck on one of the Islands up the river, The lightoing also struck the residence of Wm. Gilmour, splintering the cornice, hole in the roof of Mrs. Loft's residence on George street. It riddled a dozen telegraph poles on the Canada Central railway just outside the town. A bolt strack fa the yard ot Mr. Abbott, and ploughed the; grotind up for several yards. It also tore the slate from the roof of the Romaa Catholic church. An Offset, Some of the swells having control of that pleasant watering place, Maohatten Beach, absolutely refuse to allow either Jews or their families to resort to that pl retreat. The Jews, as might be expected, feel annoyed at the gratuitous insult offered to their race have made up their minds to bother the swells; the plan they are adopt- ing is to get up daily excursions of the very least desirable class of negroes and send them right to Manhatten Beach with ine structions to remain there all day and make h as pi as p le, The pegroes get free rides and a little to procure refreshments and they are as willing ogo as the Jews are to send them, 90,000,000 francs, or $18,000,000. The period for the construction of the canal is estimated to be eight years: The conces- sions obtained by the promoters of the enters prise embraces the control and right to any mines which the land conveyed may contain.

A by-law for the erection of certain por- tions of the counties of Wellington and Simcoe into a seperate county--the county of Dufferin--is to be submitted to the people of that county on August 13th, It is about time that this endless rope of of a County, of oursstarting at the American frontier and running back to the north pole, a few yards wide and no one knows how many miles long, was somewhat modified were it only to bring it within the bounds of common sense.
