Gshawa, Friday. Oct 27, 1871. Tue Patent Combination Government uf tis Province seems determined that the reins of power shall be retained vp to the last moment possible, and with this end in view are postponing the meeting of Parliament to the utmost limit. Foiled in -their attempt to carry the country hy storm, the "grinders"' were awakened to realising sense of their position, and made to Kuow that the people could not always be cajoled into upholding a set of rulers who made no pretension to be guid- ed by principle, but whose mode of ad: ministering public affairs was purely of . the bargain and sale kind--'"if your sec- tion of country wants any assistance from the public chest, your representative must support' us;" "our government supports { only its supporters." This patent mode of doing business worked for a time, but | speedily, worked its own cure. Four years of corruption and "miartyrdom " was quite leng enough to convince all honest per- sons that Johu Sandfield and colleagues | were not the men who should'rule in On- tario, and the first odcasion that offered was embraced by the people to return a | decided verdict against those meh. Seven months having. pissed, and no ray ap- pearing to cheer the way of the doomed. 'grinders," or give promise of an exten- sion of. their lease of power, they seem determined that the last straw-afloat shall be. grasped. before they finally sink from: view as executive officers. . *'Supporters had to be supported;" and offices were creatéd, in which creatures who had done the bidding of the combination might eusconse| tiiemselves at the public expense. The necessity of new offices, or fitness of those appointed thereto, had nothing to do | with the matter--work had been done to | Zeep: the "grinders" in power, and the | 'nirelings liad to have their reward.' When no more fat berths can be created for | hungry supporters, and all hope of maau- facturing a few more " martyrs" has en- { tirely disappeared, then we may hope to hear-ofi Rarliament being convened ; to' be followed by: a: change of Directors in the _ management of public affairs, and a rule g of principle, instead of expediency as at present. PerhapsJohn 8. is delaying the calling -of the Ontario parliament in obedience to the commands of his Ottawa masters, so Messrs. Blake and McKenzie may be tained at Toronto for a portion of 'the time that the Dominion parliament may He-iiv.session at Ottawa. This would be a characteristic trick of the little and big Premiers. conjointly ; but even this will not save them from recciving their just désserts --ejéctinent from the high posi- tions which they now use as instruments tb corrupt the people and retard the best interests of the country. PRESENTATION: On Tuesday:last, the' pupils of the Osi. awa High Sehool presented Mr.. John Seéath,. Head Master, who was about leav- | ing Here, with an elegant ink stand. Itis composed of gold plate on nickel silver, and is a beautiful piece of workmanship. The stand is oval shaped, with the follow- ing designs on it: Running around the \ euter-edge is a small cable, and on the top, | is a row of shells, 48 in number. On the back part is a small pyramid of cannon EY halls, with a flag pole standing up from ' the centre, surmounted by the British Ensign. In front of the flag, and in the centre of the stand, is a mortar, inounted and ready for use ; and should * Cupid" trouble Mr. Seath,, no ddubt he will fire | . » shell at him. On eithér side of the mortar is a cavalry drum with drum sticks lying om top. When the heads of the drums are lifted, they. disclose the ink bottles, which are very neat: In front of the niortar and drums is.a groeve for hold- ing pens ; and directly in front of that again is the following inscriy tion : --** Pres- ented to John Seath, Esq., B. A., by the pupils of the High School. © Oshawa, Oct , 1871." Four shells are used as fect for the stand. . The following address wus read by Mr, 8. G.

WILLIAM MUIR. '© Dunbarton, Oct. 23rd, 1871. "© CHICAGO. (For the Reformer.) Remarkeble for its sudden, dazaling growth, Chicago will henceforth be re- membered for its terribly sudden partial i obliteratfn--and, I firmly believe, for the | rapidity with which it will be rebuilt. | Having resided there for a length of time, and being tolerably well acquainted with the place, I have no dbubt that a | slight and truthful description of it would prove scceptable to your readers. +. In the part of the city where the fire | commenced," the buildings ware of the | most miserable description, being gener- | ally sinall, built of wood; and many of | them very old. When I first visited | Chicago, friends whe had formerly resided | in Belleville made 'it' a point--ef duty to make rambling excursions with me into | all parts of the city. West of the river,. { and in the south division, small frame { houses were huddled together im yards | "thick as hops." In many instances the yards were from three to five or six feet below the level of the street; and.I some- | times think that the author of that latest | idiotic book, " The Coming Race," ob- | tained his idea of underground inhabi- tants from viewing those Chieaga habita- | tions ; and the wonderous "" Vril " power | p 1 by the subtes creatures of his imagination, with which they could | kill their ies at a g ry Qiat. Tre Directors of the Whitby and hast Whitby Agricultural, Society will please | Mr. J. F. Willox a license to sell postage | afternoon : temperance | ment made thereat of all financial matters | ing about the unseon but smellable power | which ascended from those Chicago yards. | The reasons for this curious aspect of Chi- cago ware thus explained. Those numer- | ous little dwellings (now turned to ashes) | were formerly located farther east, in proximity te the lake, but the sites they oocupied being wanted for more substan- | dumped down promiscuously on ground owned by various. speculating builders, and. there they remained, tenants to oceu- py them being always at hand. As for the lowness of the yards, the city had been built on a swamp ; and owing tu the site being almost on a level with the lake, it was next to impossible to drain it. It was therefore resolved to raise the general level of the whole city, which was accord- ingly done, the streets being filled up with earth, stones and other material though where it came from [ can't tell--to » depth of from three to six feet, in different localities ; and the work was still going | on when I left Chicago.three yoars ago. You have no doubt read of the Chicagoan who was viewing an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and on being asked what he thought about it, replied that it was gay, and he intended to build a volcano just like it when he got back to Chicago. He was a true Chicagoan, that; and I have often' wondered why his fellow citizens did not get up an. earthquake to raise their city from the mud. I for one would not have been surprised. When. the streets were raised, houses were of course below the level. Many of them. were however raised to a uniform level with the roadway, while others were left in their primal condition, their lower stories being converted into " basements" or cellars. Among the buildings raised to a height of five feet was the Briggs House, an hotel | about the size of the Rossin House in To- 3 | and when the buildings caught fire, the | walls would quickly crumble down ; and seen the College Avenue leading to the Queen's Park, Toronto, can form an idea fit. On each side were the usual side- ks. Running parallel with the walks, and 'extending the entire length of the street, were grass plots, having shade trees in the centre. Between these strips of grass was the rondway, which was formed of the Nicholson pavemert, as smooth and level as a floor. It was a treat to drive down this beautiful avenue, at any time-- but more- especially when the wealth and beauty of Chicago were participating in the like enjoyment. A drive down New York's stone-paved Fifth Avenue was "purgatory " compared to it. But it is saddening to think of beauty vanished ; and I can only re-echo the Thibune's pro- phetic words--** Resurgum--Chicago shall arise." A great deal has been written concern- ing the grain 'elevators, and I will do no more than simply state that in order to gain an idea of the magnitude of some of them, your readers should imagine huge barns larger than three buildings the size of Mr. Gibbs block combined. And now for a little summing up. Out- side of the strictly business part of the city, the buildings which have been de- stroyed were almost entirely composed of wood, and many of them a disgrace to the said, was composed of splendid looking structures of marble, iron, stone and brick ; but a builder,>who had emigrated from Montreal, told me, while viewing the new Farewell Hall, then in course of erec- tion, that there was no building in the that could withstand a strong fire ; that the mortar generally used was worthless, time has" verified his 'predictions. The parts of the city left standing, as far as I ronto. Underneath the building firm. foundations- were placed for several hund- red jack-scews. Huge beams were then | placed beneath the joists and other frame- | | work of the ground floor. The jack- | screws being then placed in position, at a | given signal six hundred men began to | | turn the powerful levers; and by degrees | | | visions, ef. Also; two ship loads to ar. | the huge edifice slowly and imperceptibly | in Canada but what had representatives in the grief-stricken city; and we here | rose into the air, the business of the hotel | | never for one moment being delayed. | 1 myself resided on Madison street for | a time, just west of the river. Louking | i out of my bed-room window, a curious | | sight presented itself. Stretching away to | { the south were yards after yards, filled with all sorts of houses, many of 'them | unpainted, rough and weather-beaten, perched upon piles, or squat down in the | { mud. I often fancied what a terrible con- | flagration would result if a fire once got | fairly started; but cannot help thinking { | that theirdestruction will materially bene- | | fit Chicago. Out of every evil cometh | good ; and Chicago will yet be thankful | that fire has purged her of her most foul | | and unsightly places. {| Going epst, and crossing the river by either Randolph or Madison street bridges, the heart of the business part of theccity | was at once reached. Here 'were block | after bloek of most magnificeitt buildings, built of iron; a sort of white freessone, or of marble, all profusely carved and orna- | mented. In the centre of an acre plot: on | the corner of Clarke and Randolph streets | | was situated the Court House, an immense | | structure of brown stone, presenting an imposing appearance. | towering high in the air, was an observa- the lookout to detect the presence of fire [in any part of the city. The ascent to | this observatory was' made by means of a circular iron stairway, and to climb up re- | quired quite an exertion. | stood the Sherman House, a mammoth structure, abbut twice the size of the Rossin House (Toronto). It was built of | the same yellowish stone as many of the | other fine buildings of Chicago wetre--that | is, the Clarke and Randolph street fronts, | while the remaining sides were constructed | to send out for a bottle of Xamden de | Major, 2nd ; Nelson | of brick. On the opposite corner, east, was situ- | ated a huge jewelry establishment, filled | with the most glitiering display of gold, | silver amd fancy goods that my eyes ever | ing the late fire the proprietor of this | establisitment, I learn, became frantic | with excitement, and opening his doors | called upon the crowd to come in and carry out the goods. The result can be imagined; and his loss must have been immense. Many of your' readers have no doubt | heard -of Potter Palmer, the Chicago mil- | lionare. Down on State street'and Wa- ash and Michigan avenues, he vwned an | immense. amount of property. On State street he a few years ago erected a most magnificent building, of irom and marble. Stewart's fathous establishment on. the | corner of Chambers and Broadway streets | in New York could not be compared to it | for grandeur and beauty. It was sur- mounted by a mansard roof, and from the sidewalk to the apex of said roof the dist- ance 'was onc hundred and thirty feet. -- This immense and beautiful building was occupied by Field, Leiter & Co. as a wholesale and retail dry goods establish- ment, it being filled from garret to base- ment with goods of every description.-- But that costly building, erected no later than 1869, is now naught but a ruined heap. Potter Palmer is an Englishman--a fact of which he is proud. He is a 'howling swell," and wears a-strawberry.on the end of his nose. His '""turn-out " wasquite a feature .of Chicago. It consisted of a splendid coach, drawn by four jet black | horses, decked with solid. geld-mounted harness. Potter P. always sat in the driver's seat and handled the *'ribbons™ himself, while in a seat behind sat two Africari gentlemen, as black and shiny as a japanned stove pipe, and solemn as owls. One of these gentlemen was ostensibly re- tained as coachman, but he did as little in that line of b as our Com- missioner does in his. His companion was the footman. They were both dressed in dark blue livery, the coats reaching to their heels, and fastened with.a row of gold buttons. .P. P. had the "sinews of war," and you can see he carried it on in grand s'yle. In the South division, running parallel with- Lake Michigan, were Wabash and Michigan Avenues. These were beautifnl | than Jersy whiskey is capable of doing, is | nothing but a highly poetical way of tel- treets, and lined generally with fine resi- dences. Wabash was an especially fine Surmounting it, | On the opposite side of the street, north, | can remember, are almost entirely com- posed of wooden buildings, which would go down before another fire with lightn- ing-like rapidity. It may not bé generally known that ac- cording to the last census the number of Canadians residing in Chicago was given at over 40,000--there being but few places city.

You should bear constantly in mind that nine-tenths of us are frem the very nature and necessities of this world, born to earn our livlihood by the sweat of the brow. 'What reason have we, thon, to presume that our children are not to do the same?! If they be--as now and then one will be--endowed with extraordinary powers of mind, those powers may have an opportunity of developing themselves ; and if they never have that opportunity, the harm is not very great to us or to them. Nor does it hence follow that the de- scendants of laborers are always tobe la- borers. 'The path upward is steep and long, to be sure. Industry, care, skill, excellence in the present parents lay ihe foundation of a rise; and by and by the descendants of the present laborer become gentlemen. f This is the natural progress. It is by attempting' to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is produced in the world ; and the propensity to make | such attempt has been cherished and en- couraged by the strange projects that we have witnessed of late years, for making the laborers virtuous and happy by giving them what i# called education. The edu. cation I speak of consists in bringing up children to labor with steadiness, and with skill ; * to show them how to do as many useful' things as possible, to teach them how to do them all in the best man- ner ; to set them an ¢xample of industry, sobriety, cleanliness and neatness; to make all these things habitual to them, so that they shall never be liable to fall into the contrary practices; to let them al- ways see a good living proceeding from labor, and thus to remove from them the | temptation to get at the goods of others by violence or fraudulent means, and to keep far from their minds all the induce- ments to hypocracy and deceit, cannot but feel an interest in the welfare of that once dazzling emporium of com- merce. I have faith in Chicago's still greater future.. I believe that it will soon be re- [built ; and that in a few short years | county fairs; and the display of ladies' naught will remain to tell of the desola- tion which swept over it in a few short hours, and turned thousands of our fellow- creatures homeless into the world. ' GUIDO. Oshawa, Oct. 24, 1871. BOTTLED SUNSHINE. A STRANGE DISCOVERY. Pocket sunshine is the latest novelty with which science has presented us. M. Xamben de Prades, of Saintes, is on his way to England with a cargo of sunbeams in bottles, of which he is anxious to pre- | sont samples to the Royal Society. M. de Prades' experiment consists in taking an | | oblong vase of metal, and after exposing it for a quarter of an hour to the intense | | heat of the gun, closing the aperture of the ' vase by means of a cork, through which a | hole has been pierced. To this hole he applies a powerful lens, by which the so i lar rays contained in the vase are made to tory, where a person was continually on converge towards a taper placed at the distance of a yard from the operator. In less than three minutes' time the taper, with a crackling sound, bursts into flame. Here we have the process and its results ; | we bottle our sunshine, and we apply it to a useful domestic purpose. It may be urged that this process is somewhat vague- ly described, and we are compelled to ad- mit that "detalls are wanting." The ex- planations to be vouchsafed to the Royal | Society will doubtless settle all this. On | a gloomy day we are to have the power | Prades' sunbeams, and diffusing around a | delicious brightness and invigorating | warmth. Hitherto it has been only in a | methaphorical sense, and as a m | figure of speech, that a man after '""t'other S1r,--A' short time ago you kindly pub- | rested upon, with the one exception of | bottle" has been spoken of as having been lished ah account of an entertainment held | Ball, Black & Co.'s in New York. Dur. | 'inthe sun." Now that description may | be literally realized, and it may be said | with literal exactness that "the bottle's | the sun of the table." A couple of friends sitting down for a quiet hour may order a | bottle of sunbeams between them quite as a matter of course. Taking a ere. ex- tended view of the matter, and going from simple bottling to more wholesale dealings possible reason why it should not be laid on like gas or water, and so adapted for general as well as family use. People would rise with the sun at whatever hour they would. choose to order it, and would turn night into day with perfect equanim- ity. The threats of exasperated rate-col- lectors to "cut off your sunstine " would at first have a grim and suggestive sound ; but society would get used to it,.as it would also to the inevitable adulteration and deterioration to which.it would come to be subject, the same as water or:gas. HOW PROPERTY CHANGES. A New York paper has the following . One illustration of the peculiar manner in which property changes hands may be afforded by the following occurrance in one of our suburbs on the Hudson. A | man of large wealth, needing some person | to instruct his child, employed a governess, whom he subsequently married. He was advanced in life, and survived the marri- age but a few years. After his death, it was found that the will not only provided handsomely for his child, but gave the widow. an independent forfune; The money which he had accumulated by means of prolonged industry and ecdquomy now passed into the hands of a woman, who but a few years previously was a stranger to him. The once poor teacher found her- self independent, and after the proper season of mourning was over she resumed her place in ative society. Being well educated and well endowed, she could not fail to attract admirers, and a young phy- scian sought and won her hand: They were married 'and lived very happily, but soon the recent bride was attacked by a fatal disease, and died. It-is now learned that the estate goes into the hands of the newly-made' widower, who thus takes a fortune earned by one whom he never saw, and who Hitle dreamed that such a change wo! 80 quickly wrought in his property, but such are [Mong the strange rneath pur notice. | Avenpue--thone of your renders who have occurances which come | with sunshine, theré would seem to be no - Fr ---- © QI -- PICKERING TOWNSHIP FAIR.
