THE FLESHEKTON ADVANCE [Nov. lo, 1887.. K- ••n I f » t. WASHINGTON LETTER. ( FrinA our hegiilnr Gorrfuptrnilfni. ) WmUnigtDii, (Jet. 31»L, 1HS7. Ah the tiiiiu fi>i' oiuuiiibliiii; <>f 0/<iiit;reBS ^liuwg near, Washiiigtuii lias ouierged friiiii hur Suiiiiiiur tiesta aiid is in the uiiilst i)f ail «rft (if iireparati'iii for thi> aU- \oiil of aHDuiiililuil winduiii at tl>e CHpitul. Tiie dawn of tlio iiiipriiiicliiiig ' BeiiKini'' is uiiUJiually radiant. It already rufli-otg its );low over the wluile city, and is jiruphetic i)f a reii»n of politics and j;ayety siuli as will cast a shadow over remeniliranccs of prucoodinu Con<;re8aiohal sus-iiMns. Many of the people wlio posMesH wealth, culture and leisure, and make Washington their winter resort, have already returned. They will soon be followed hy a i;iMoral runli from all parts of the country. Then the bull begins. Coni{res» and society will vie tor supremacy. The former will interest, the latter will dazzle. The |>o\v- er of .Siwiety in Washiiigt^ni has to bo Seen t.i l»e appreciated. It exertsa stroll^ control even overollicial life, and ltd pow- ii;r cannot be broken or dissenibled. It reigns over OonKress, in that it lures Ujtli Ilepreseiitative and Senator away from their duties at the Capitol. Not in- fr«i|Uently doe.s the House of Hejiresen- t.ttives await a <|Ucjrum until its truant meniliors can \w arrested in the eiijoy- iiieiit of a "high tea" or ball at Mr». Sec- retary So-aiid-So's, and returned caiitive by the SarKcant-at-Ariiis. The monarchs of this power -the society lead'Ts- will strain evtiiy nerve this Benson to increase its uiagiiutisiii, and they promise a .tue- cessiuu of entertainments on a scale that has not heretof(>re iMseii attempted, (ios- Kip is the ambiiHsador ami minister pleni- p'ltentiary of the social world. Thin year she tells of the mysterious costumes and surprises tliat will astound the oldest in- liabitants, and add greatly to the splendor of display. IJetweeii Vanity Fair and the National Lei^islature, there will be nothintt dormant in WashiiiKton the unn- ini; Fall and Winter, from the tirst whirl after Monday, December fith, to the in- termission which ensues when the mantle of Lent is thrown over society. All WiishinKton, and by that I mean the coiiibinutioii of social and i>ttit'ial life at the Capitol, has been to the races the past week. The race season is indeed a i^ala tiiim liere. Fasltiim, with it« modern t.kstes, is a (treat patron of the turf, and i.uduon nowhere luhs with nieat<T sway than ill her own Htroii^-holil at theC.i|iitol of ihe Nation. Here a comparatively .Meat proportion of the population jcaii all'ord to enjoy thrmselves without re;/ard l.i coat. Eixo, they all ^o to the races md lose tlicir nioiiey. Heads of Depart- ments, t'hiefs of Itnreau, down to the .â- ^i'.MW clerk, mny all be seen hoverin}{ about the IxHikmakers, or posing on the i|Uarter-stretch for the admiration of the l.ulies on the ){rand stand, while the dip- I'iinatic iluch's priimcnuile with n.iual wont in front of the crowd. As they strutted up and d<iwn the past week, they seemed to feel that every eye was upon them ; nor were Muy mistaken. The cut of their trousers, the shape of their cidlrrs, nid their kaleidoscopic necties usually itt'oiil much aiiuiseinent. Tlie diploniut .'jiu.it Ih) cliissed in the eccentric family of the ijniiiH hdinii, for both 111 his face and dress he seem.i to present in combination â-  he tuchioiis of I'aris, Liindoii, Merlin and St. IVler.shurt;. .l///ii/iu.i of the races, the fact is lately <levt'Iopud that there are as many fine t .!am.i aiid handsome e(piipat;es in Wash- ington a»ai.ttobo found anywhere. Time was wlitdi «k handsome tinnoiit or tine .span of )iors«u was a rarity on the .streets ...f the Capitol, ami one involuntarily turn- ., it tu look a(t«ir Ihe unusual si<;ht. Now, liowuver, suiSlt b ttate im longer exitti.

The teachers and students have moved into the new Hii^h School buildiii}; at Mt. Foiest. An insane old woman named Mrs. Smith, <iver !H) years of aj^e, died in tlie Walkerton i^aol on Saturday iiiiiht week. Several Mt. Forest boys will have to make an appearance at the Police Court to answer to a char^'e of daiiianini; pitiper- ty on Hallowe'en. Harrison's plaiiin<; mill, Owen Sound, was destroyed by lire on Tuesday week, being without doubt the work of an in- cendiary. Loss alsmt ?1 2,000 ; insured f<ir $a,ooo. The Union hill curling and skatinc rink, Owen Sound, was destroyed by tire last week. The buildiiii,' was erected 20 years ago and its destruction was the work of an incendiary. Information has l>een laiil against hotel- keepers McQuillan & Cuiiiinins ami shop- keoj)t'rs I'ilcher & McEachern, of Mt. Forest, for violation of the Scott Act. The two latter have elTected a settlement. The Elitt rjir'w says that ("liesley boys (ilaoed a tine top biigiry on the Presbyter- ian churchshed in that town on Hallowe'en The KiitirprUi- suggests that such seiisetosB pranks be discountenanced in future. On F'riday week Mr. S. Curry, 3rd Ciui. lirant, was harrowing a tield ami one of his youngest daii;:liters was .Hitting on the harrow. The harrow came in con- tact with some hard lumps of clay, when one half of it turned over and fell on the child's hand, bruising and crushing it badly. Als.ut 1 o'chick on the 28tli ult., the outbuilding* of Mr. Win. Kep|iler, of I.^it 23, Con. 2, I'mton, were destroyed by fire, together with 2C tons of hay, (! loads of unthreshed |>eas, and 4 loads of unthr«>slied oats as well as two fine mares. Live stock and contents insured for 85U0. The (iro is siipiHised to have taken place by children playing with inatcheH. On Monday week ab<iut 4 o'clock in the afternoon dames Wilson of Mt. Forest, was eiign^'eil shii gliiig a biiililing for Mr. N. Uos/.e!, at Etfieinont P.O., when he slippeil from the roof and fell to the ground a ilistance of alH>ut twenty feet. Compound fracture of the thigh hone and two ii;jly gashes on the liend, and prob- able internal injuries were the rt'siilts. A declaiatioii i>f war has l>een issued l>etweeii dolin .lohiistoii and Hu'.;h .loiies. Jones is not big, but lies ilaiiKeriins. And Johnston has had long experience in |>ut(ilistic encounters with lii.s iieigh)M<rs. It is therefore hard to say liow the battle will end. After a perliminary skirmish, Ixth parties adjourned to the office of the 3.P.-llni,e Herald. The conviction of Saniiiel Hailey for stealing a sheep from Mrs. Lmhtliody. in the ("onnty of (irey a year mid a half ago, is a feather 111 the cap of constable Heffer- iiBii. Uailey might have enjoyed his mutton ill |H-ace, if Helleninn had not hear<l of the feast. Since his appoint- ment as a coiistalilc, he lias secured the conviction of Hovend (ddutfenders.- - Knicr Hnahl. Hallowe'en was not celebrated to any very considerable extent in Thornbury. The Ispys erected a fine big pyramid, con- sisting chietly of liiirrels, on ihe cehlre of the biii'i:;i' over the Heaver iivi>r. .lust as the job wa.s iiiiely toinpleleil, a force of cpiislables .specially sworn in for the occasion iil.ru|itly put in an appearance and politely but tirmly leipiested the young iiiun to demolish the el«gant struc- ture they had erected and return the barrels to their respective owners.
