Tiio people have pronounced upon it, and w...i an cmpkasis which mutt be highly gratifying to Dr. Oiristoc. For fiftci'ii years a reeve of the town- ship, and then to be returned for the 1 GUi time with so handsome- a majori- ty as lie has received this time, is i jui< tliiuy almost, if not quite, un- precedented in Ontario municipal matters. Silf-gratulation in this case is iiotnt-tliing highly excusable in l>r. ChriBtoc if he does indulge in it. It has been a great and pleasant surprise 1} many of uis friends, who felt that Ilia return was probable, but his r- jccti'ju possible, owing to the peculiar circumstances of his candidature. These circuiustancos are familiar to . all. Tim Dr. did not intend to be a candidate until the final letter, signed Patrick," appeared in this paper, when ho dtcidtd. justifiably, that he did not care to loaro public life with the publicly-branded stigma of malad- uuiiii;:Mtiori hanging over his head. Tin I'<uv at the eleventh honr, at it were, he placed himselt once more in the hand; of his constituents, and has received, as wo said before, a vordict (which U highly gratifying to himself and to his many friends. This verdict doe.i jut indicate that the people tlii: ;. -1-. \Vii','ht wmild not make a gooil retvc, for w have yet to meet the man who believes that, but simply that they did not care to turn Dr. Chrixtoo out after his long and faith- Oil -> !"Kes in tliuii behalf.

In some cases here obscure individuals have tried this latter plan they have beeu made to suffer severely therefor have even been imprisoned but now that a cabinet minister has created a prece- dent the law will no doubt be changed so as to make good in Canada divorces declared in the I'nited States.
