Mr. McKowan will have full control of this branch of the business, and th e business men who have favored us with their patronage. so largely in the past may be assured of e~ti re satisfaction in all orders for printing with which t)iey favor us in future. THE Toronto Evening Neivs is Mr. 13untiag's evening ed1tio!l of the M ail, but in charge of a diff<Jrent editor. H ere is a. rebuke administ ered t o he morning Mail by the eve ning edition on Monday last :- " P rivat e advices this m ornin g 11tate t.hat Mr. P l ummer has been retarned for Algoma by 200 majority, but ,anyone reading the editorial in t he Mail this morning admitting Mr. P lummer 's defeat , and pnurin~ forth a t orrent of vir tuous indignatiou, will n ot be disposed to c-redit the "private ad,·ices ." The editorial ir. q uestion refers t o the Ontario Government and its " emissaries" ns " flagrantly d ishonest ," "cynically corrupt," " in· famous in victory," and "politically d ishonored. " T hey have " violated the law," 11 li!·iq~g ~~Q!'~~ of electors, intimidat ed those in their power/ "di~fra,n<;bised hundreds of electors," " neglected to provide for Conservat ive electors," and " paid :ag1mts dictated concer~1ing the r ecep tion of ballots." T heir agent s were " bullies a nd policemen, foot -pads, sluggers, bullp ups, and hood·lu rns with full flasks and faller pockets." It seems that "the laten ess of the hour " prevented the M ai! from expr essing the fulness of its wrath, or it wo uld have said more. From t he above trifling expressions of dissatisfaction, however, we gather the idea t hat t he Mail believes Mr. Lion t o have been elected. " I a t his an instance of Sa.tan re· proving Sin 1 (Continued rrom S"l'.A'l'E!lll\U:K, Sept. ~I.) We kuow ot no co\mtry villag'e that can show a better business reoord than .Orono. lts business men are enterprisiIJg, industrious, respectable and mostly wealthy. The general stores are highly creditable to the village, keeping, as they do, full 'lines of staple goods, which are eold at prices that compare f ..vorably with town and city stores. One reason for the sound financial standing of the c?mmercial industries of Orono is the e:xcelleot e.gricultural country by which it i~ sufrounded. The farms are of the ver) beet soil for grain ~ro""ing and stock> rai11ing combined ; the farmers are coneeqnently wealthy as a class, so that business men have fevr losses from bad debts. J;. person who visited tlie Fair in Orono on Saturday observed that the farmers were a well-dressed and intelli~ent lot of men ; that the ladies and young people were stylishly and richly dre~sed,and show that they <\re abreast with t.he advance of civilization and ma rch of iutellect that characterize this era of the world's history. It is true. We d11fy any part of Canada. to show a more enli ghtened, respectable, industrious and wealthy class of farmers the.I\ the township of Clarke. Their farms a.re well cultivated, the d\Tellings and farm buildings are large and convenient ; many of them have thriving orchards which with the fields are surrounded by nice shade and orna mental trees and llhrubbery; fine large churches and schoolhouses are num erolls and well attended,a.nd with many other tbipgs combine to make Clarke one of the leadin g townships of the Province. Therefore, we 11ay, Orono is destined to be an·important business centre. Great and rapid progress has been made in the last live years in the buildings on Main Street, and few villages in Canada with 1,000 of a population possess a finer row of stores tha n Miller's, Thompson's and other blocks on the east side and Heary's and other blocks on the west sid6 of Main Street, Orono, There are a.lso several fine residences and we 11re pleased to h ear tha t se veral others a.re to 'be built in the near future. Another thing to be admired in Orono is the clean, orderly, tasty and· n eat appearance of the dwellings. P ret ty la.wns and flo wer gardens with shrubbery and ornamental trees in gr~at profusion surround the houses ; the housec1 are nicely painted, flowe rs a.nd ·foliage plants d ecorat e the win dows ; pr etty fences and gales complete the picture. There ore many homes, h owever, tha t will bear many of the p leasant features we have indicated, and which will nu dcmbt b e improved shortly. The citizens ap preciate their educstional ad vantages, as is show11 by the large attendance of children at the village schools. The churches are also well attended - another sign of social l!efiaement and intelligence, a nd last ly they ar e p reeminently a t emperance people. I ndeed it is no flattery t o the citizens of Orono to call them a christai people. The writer hopes t o see the risi ng generation, when they reach years of responsibility and t ake th eir stand in the places of their fathers and mothers, fill those positions with as m uch credit t o themselves and t o the community as they a re now filled. So m ote it be. llONS O:F TEMPBR ANQ.E. THE ORONO GADINET FAC~ORY ia one of the growing mannfactories of the village. It was recently built &nd is now turning out large quantities of Co:tage Furnitur~-badsteads,bureaus, etc. Large quantities of furnitnre are shipped to different parts of the Dominion in actdition to a large local trade. Mr. A. A. Tucker mane.gee the business with excelleoL success. Several hands are constantly em· ployed and large quaotitiee of maple, birch, elm and basswood are used. The iustitnt10n is a 11;reat credit to Orono and the enterprise of the energetic proprietor. Dr. M. M. Tncker is the proprietor. He keeps well-furnished ware·room11, where we noticed full liues of furniture of all grades and prices. Dr. Tucker has been practising medicine five years in the village and has a good practise.

The Township of Clarke is one of the old~st and beat settled on the north shore. It ls bounded on the North by the Township of Manvers, West by Darlington, South by Lake Ontario and East by .l::l.ope, and was surveyed iu 1797, and firgt permanently settled by Richard LoTekin, who loca'e.i land in 1801 at or near 'he con:fl.uence of Baldwin's, now "Wilmot's Creek ; shortly follow6d by one Wilson, who took up land at a point west of the creek. These pioneers were the first actual 1ettlers of the towndhip, and were sqbsl!quently followed by 01ht1ra, many of whom were U. E.
