He was one of the Fathers of Confederation. It stands to his credit that he helped to fight initial battles of that great movement. There can be little doubt that had he not retired to the bench while as yet the struggle for union was unfinished, he would bave done more than he really did and he did a goodly share of work --in that contest. Nor, had he elected to remain in politics, would ederal sphere have been so long delayed. It seems certain that his great abilities would bave carried him from the provincial to the national arena at a Ge, or that he wold have pass- | to the larger field at the ver outset.

As some ignorant and excitable people have been circulating base: less and exaggerated reports con- cerning the prevalence of Scarlet Fever in Port Petry, we have the authority of the Board of Health for the following statement : -- Since the Scarlet Fever and one from Whoop- Fever, at ptesent there are only two cases of the disease in the village and neighbourhood both have passed the crisis and are now convalescing The households in which the deaths have happened are being disenfect- ed under the direction of the Medi: cal Health Officer of the Town. It may be added that some time ago two children died who were brought into Port Perry while they were suffering from the disease. ei Masters that are Servants. The Gamey investigation, at To- ronto, is the cynosure of political Canada. Mr. R. R. Gamey bad given his evidence and notwith- standing a vigorous cross examina- tion has reiterated every important statement he made in the Orftario legislature. As was expected, every possible obstruction is being offered to the intruction of néw evidence by the prosecution. Frank Sullivan, who conducted the negotiations on behalf of the government, informed Mr. Gamey, in the presence of three witnesses, that he had Stratton where he wanted Lim and would make Lim pay up handsomely. Here is food for reflection! A clerk in the provincial public works department openly boasts that he has a minister of the crown under his thumb, and that through this minister he hopes to rob the public treasury of large sums of money. The clerk looks upon the 'deal as one of his privileges. He is the son of a'man whois the chief engineer of the "machine," _and his share of $2,000. This is what Province of Ontario.
