P. for Montmorency and proprietor of Le Canadian, formally laid his charges of umlversation of office and conspiracy to defraud against Mr. Thomas McGrecvy, M. P., and (by in). plicntion) Sir Hector llangcvin, Minis ter of Public.Works. Mr. Lnurier was absent through illness, and Sir Richard Cartwright from some other cause, but. the galleries were literally crowded by persons anxious to heur Mr. Torte. With our limited space we cinnot give his indictment, which, without the pre- liminery remarks, fill three. cllumns of fine type in the city papers, but it is almost enough to make any one's huir stand on end to read it; and if he can prove any one of his accusations the guilty parties should not be allowed to escape with so inadequate a punishment as more expulsion from Parliament. Mr. Torte alleges that during the past. eight years Mr. McGrcevy has, with the connivance of Sir Hector, systemat- ically manipulated contracts for the benefit of the pet firm of Lurkin, Con- rolly &, 00., who have not only paid him from time to time, in hard cash, Sums Yours Respectfully, Jfosan-I HEARD. have received a. choice lot of SUITINGS * ANDâ€"â€" TROWSERINGS. services, but also gave his brother, Rob- ert McGrecvy, 30 per cent. of the profit on one contract. and 20 per cent. of another. Of course this kind of game could not have been worked without the knowledge and consent of the Minis. tor of Public Works, and Mr. McGree- vy’s friends say in his defence that. near- ly all the money thus fraudulently ob- tained was made away with by Sir Hec- tor. Mr. Tartc’s motion to have his charges laid before a select committee were overruled, and they will be passed upon by the Committee of Privileges and Elections. Sir Hector L-mgevin in his reply, which was a general denial of the charges, suid “ I never asked the contractors named for money, cliques or notes, nor did I receive any of them for my own use, profit or advantage ”; but it was noticed and commented upon that he did not say he had never re ceived them at all or used them for any purpose. Mr. McGrcevy denounced the accusation as a conspiracy and de- clared that. the papers in Mr. Turlc's possession Were lorgeries; to which Mr. Torte replied: “If the letters signed by the hon. gentleman's own name are forgeries I will apologise, not. only to the House, but will have no other trout- menl: to expect from the Parliament than to go out of it, and very quick." It is said the Governor-General has usk- ed the First Minister for an explanation ofthe grave charges made in Parliament. involving the honor and integrity of one of his advisers; but Sir John's reply bus not been made public. m.-- The Beeve’s Improvements. A broqd grin corrugated the counten- ances of such of our villagers as happen- ed to be on the main street about 7 o'clock last Monday morning, when ground was broken on the little hill a few yards north of Bond street. On one side of Colborne street at this particu. lar spot is Brneside Hu’. the palatial residence of Mr. Joseph McArthur, and on the other is the brick terrace owned by his brother, Mr. William McArthnr, by the grace of the people reeve of Fen- elon Falls.

Grccnc about a year ago. The articles worn found in her house and she is to be tried in Jordan's hull this evening at 7 o‘clock. do the most good " to the public gcncr- nlly, it. is within the bounds of possibil- ity that the residents of the vicinity of Mowry's boy had wild drcmus ofn few dollars being devoted to making smooth the rough places on what. is still occasion- .bc expended on lending streets only. tl \thth- ‘ varying from $2,000 to $27,000 for his v ally culled culled the “ sawdust road," though nearly all the sawdust. and m'my l p of the logs beneath it. were burned mo or three summers ago. But as it is to haven't. the ghost of a chance. or or not it. was intended that no port of it should be devoted to the improve- ment of sidewalks we are unable to say. but as the money is to be expended at the discretion (or want of discretinu) of the rcevc, and us the sidewalks in the vicinity of his and his brother's houses are in good condition, it. is likely that he will put the narrowest possible construction upon the conditions of the grant. We have no desire to deny that there is a wet spot in spring and full at the side of the road where work ivus commenced, and that at moderate cxpcn- diturc thereon is justifiable; but it. looks at present as if so much money will be spent in tho Mcdrthur vicinity that a mere nothing will be left for improve- ments elsewhere, and there is u notably bad spot higher up Uolbornc street, near the Methodist church. This (Wednes- day) afternoon we went to wherc the men were at work to see now they were getting on, and saw that. they had dug a ditch, nearly five feet deep and about 150 feet long, from just below where the crock crosses the main street to the corner of Bond street. Asking what the ditch was for, we were informed that it was to carry oil the water from a spring that is claimed to have bsen “ found," but which must have temporarily retired from observation, as we could see no signs of it. We heard this morning that the rceve had ordered the ditch to be dog for the purpose of tapping the creek, which, after crossing the road, runs through Mr. Joseph McArthur's lot. If the proprietor of Braeside Hf were a man of taste and a lover of spark- ling wntcr, he. would make that crcck a thing of beauty and a. joy 'till it. freezes; but, being what he is, he doesn’t want it on his premises, and has covered it. out of sight, but in such circumscribed limits that when flush of fluid it. m “(85 its presence known; and not a few believe that his brother kindly intended to rc~ [love him by taking part of the water down street. Not being in the rccvc's confidence, we don't know his intentions; but he has received an intimation that he must not; interfere with the creek. and if the spring that disappeared be- fore he could get a look at it should not turn up again, we don’t see what use the ditch at the roadside can be put to. Even ifthe crock could be topped it would cost no end of money to get. rid of the water, us the drain from Mr. Heard's, into which it would duturnlly be conveyed, would have to be widened and perhaps deepened to where it emp- ties into the creek that crosses the main street south of Francis street. Ap- parently, the village will derive but lit- tle benefit from the expenditure of the $400, but the McArthurs ‘will make well out ofit, us the frontage of their properties will be improved, the move gets 10 per cent. of the money for laying out the rest, and is said to have on interest in the livery stable that supplies the horse-s employed at the work. It seems hardâ€"doesn't it. ?â€"â€"thnt the men who were most. strongly opposed to the Scott Act should get, directly or indirect- ly, more benefit. from the fund arising from it than any other members of the community. After the above was in type a rough stone drain was laid in the ditch, which is now being filled up, and some of the men are at. work on a rise in the ground a little further north.

But, as lumcnmtions over the dccudcncc of the village, though a relief to the feel- lugs, can do no good, and us “what; can’t be cured must be endured," let us take an optimistic view of things, and hope that there is a good time coming and that its arrival may not be loum delayed. a Spring Workâ€"This season has been- vcry favorable for spring work, which has not been interrupted by ruins, and the cool, though windy, weather suited“ both men and teams.
