The great drain question. the suit agaitht the Victoria Railway Company and the Dwis embezzlement afforded the two candidates for the llecveship of this village ample material out of which to elaborato long and eloquent speeches at each other's expense; and, consequently, at the nominations both of councillors and sclmul Mom‘s. Dickson and (irecnc carried on a wordy war until the patience of their auditors \\‘;t.s exhausted. The verdict of the ratepayers, after carefully weigh~ ing the uccusationsaud explanations.~ub- milled to them, is, that while the coun- cil are to blame for making no provis- ion for the p.1ymt-ut of the debt incur- red by the expenditure on the school- Illlllrt', their negligence would have cn-’ tailed no lo~s on the ratepayers; but. that. the school trustees were guilty of a groves derelictiou of duty in affording their treasurer tllt: opportunityâ€"which he so cauerly availed ltitnSclf ofâ€"to np- pI'opriate the public funds.

The Result ofa High Tariff. ‘Thc higher the duties on itnporls in- toa county the greater the temptation to engage in illicit. traffic. This obtains everywhere and ought to be a warning' to Governments to keep duties so low as to make smuggling unprofitablc- To do so requires skillul statesmanship at. all times, but most: especially when taxati- on is necessarily high. A good deal of smuggling has been carried on this seas- on on the line betwixt us and the States, and while many of the culprits are caught there are doubtless a large num- her who escaped with there illgotten gains. We have not. seen the record of the seizures (If allicit distilleries in this country; but that for four years and fpur months in'the States has lately appear- ed, and is surely enough to demand a reVision oftlteir tariff. 4061 illicit dis- tillcries were seized ; 733-1 persons were I arrested for illicit distillation ; 26 officers anti employees were killed and 57 wounded in the enforcement of the revenue laws. From this it appears that. the science of political economy is not for advanced amongst our neighbours, or they would have got. beyond it. system oftaxation that goes so far to encourage dishonesty and eventually leads to viol~ once and murder. m " Doctorad ” Liquors. The Yankees have become promrbial , for their incenuity in inventing labour saving machines. This is to their credâ€" it; but their ingenuity frequently Works in the inventing of positive evil. They I have become famous, or rather infam- ous, for adulterating liquors, and by this means poisoa the consumers, cheat the revenue, and rob the public. A striking instance of how this is done was lately related by a chemist to a St. . Louis reporter. By the use of a small Iquantity of a yellowish liquid called I Cognac oil put. in a pint of alcohol and a pint and a half of syrup. :1 ~10 gallon cask of Cologne proof spirit is made into good brandy. This is only a sample of what our be done with other liquors, and is enough to make one doubt if there is such a thin: as ueuuine liquor t drunk anywhere in the States.

The death of Miss Martha 'I'erhune, at Lodi, Bergen county, N. J., is at- tracting considerable attention. especial- ly on account of the as-ertiou that she had starved herself. Miss Terhuue was fifty-pine years of age and had always been regarded as eccentric to a degree bordering on insanity. When nineteen years of age, she and a compan- ion broke through a bed in their sleep, which so frightened Martha that. she ever since declined to sleep on a bed- stead. Miss Mcrhune weighed nearly two hundred pounds at the time she began her singular fast and lost. very little in consequence. On the 18th of September her mother, ninety years of age, was stricken with paralysis, which so shocked Martha that. she formed the resolution not to eat any more. During four weeks she pertook only of the minutest nourishment, and then ceased to take the food altogether. At the end of seven weeks of total abstinence she died. â€". r,-_._.....

But. the death prohccy turned out to b: a fizzle.

Sta :â€" The two projects of communication with the world south of this are now ext-r- cising the minds of those who expect to de- rive benefit if either of them is carried out. In the case of the canal its backers are found both here, far west. and far east. Chicago is supposed to favour it because during summer it will afford a much short- er aud cheaper route for grain, and also for the import of goods. Montreal may tvcll favour it as a route for bringing the traffic of the far West into her harbour, thereby increasing the profits of her mer- chants. With the residents along the line of the canal other questions arise; for they are chiefly interested in the question of how the canal can benefit themâ€"will it enable them to sell their produce at higher prices? can imported goods be brought cheaper to their doors 1’ These are the questions that chiefly concern them, as they determine whether they will be the better for the ca- 'nal or not. The answer may be given thus: The canal, being only open six months in the year, can only be available for that time for an outlet for agricultural products. Beyond that period, whatever is bought for transmission by it must be at. reduced rates, as no buyer is going to lie out of his money for months without interest on it. The ad- vautage it may give to lumbermen during that time is not likely to be much, beyond what they already possess, and, as an out- let. for animals, its value would be nil. Nobody would ever think of going by it on a journey, and. the traffic from one end to the other would not dousuch benefit for the residents on its shores. The proposed railway, it‘ carried out, would afford transit for: goods and passeng- ers, as also cattle, all the year round. Fen- eloa Falls and. Bobcnygeon would be con. 1 nected, as also Petezborough; agricultural products all along the route would be so much nearer the seaboard by way of Exile- ville, and higher prices ought to be got on that account. The country north of this would find an additional outlet for its tain- erals, and people from the south have easiâ€" er ucccss to there, more work would be given in its maintenance than by a canal, ‘ and thereby more money spent where it tru- versed. Of the two schemes, the railway scents preferable for this distsict, but it is not to be forgotten that it need not be ex- pected lobe built without considerable local aid from the municipalities, as also from the Provincial Gavernment. The latter should have the subject placed before it in A large district of country would be greatly benefited by its construction, facilities would be afforded for the developemcnt of its mineral trea- sures, uad by this means benefit would be derived bya wide section of the country. The Grand Junction would reap additional advantages which it well deserved for the noble elforts it has made to furnish a tnain arterial line for a large district of country hitherto without one. The question of hu- nuses is a delicate one in those times, as farmers are not in the humour to vote much that way. Nevertheless, if the railway is to be got, somewhat will have to be done, and that before long. Yours, be” A FARMER. \‘erulum, Dec. '27, 1880. m”, -c - EIAIIIKE'I.‘ RIEPOR’l‘S. FENELON FALLS MARKETS.
