Mr. Tisdale, when the redistribution bill comes wu; for consideration, will move that it be referred to a commission, to con- sist of the chiel justice of the highest courts of the judicature in each of the provinces of Canada, for the purpose of fixing the boundaries for each con stituency, and to determine the num- ber of members to be elected for each riding. Second, that such commission shall consider the distribution of population according to the latest census, and shall particularly have regard to the 'principle of representation by popula tion, geographical compactness of po sition, and also as far as practicable to the boundaries of counties, muni cipalities and cities. In view of the many fatal accidents which have occurred recently in Otta awa, a proposal is made that the fin ance committee be: instructed to en gage an expert to examine into the system adopted by the different com panies, and in the event of his find: ing any defects or lack of proper safe guards or Jrecautions, to suggest such means as he may consider necessary to obviate the danger.

He owns 200 acres of good land, well im: proved, and considerphle stock and grain, and is out of debt. His stand- ing is good among his neighbors, and 1 there is nothing queer about him, ex- cept a little inoffensive eccentricity. Seen at his farm, he spoke freely of his matrimonial hopes, and described the woman he is seeking "She must be young enough to cae kle, and she musn't be afraid to work nor too tired to spruce up a hit and go to a picnic with me once in a while," Overmyer said: "I like them Sunday excursions, too, and I don' want to drag no dead woman around with me. She must have good sense and suit my eye for looks." Overmyer is a good-looking fellow of about fifty, dresses neatly, has 4 pleasant home, and raises fine stock, He declares. that he can do stunts in farm work with the best man in the country. He has eleven heirs, ond will 'divide his property and give his acceptea wife her share in "cold eoin" at the wedding. "I'm. a good provider," he continu ed, "and will contract to kill three young beeves and five hogs on the place every year.
