Friday. March 11th, 1892. The Quebec Elections. The general elections in Quebec on ' O 0 Tuesday resulted It) a crushing defeat 'lor the Mcrcicri'tes. the Conservatives having a majority of between thirty and forty. The Count himself was elected. but has resigned, and it is stated posi- tivcly that he and Pucaud and two or three others are to be prosecuted for embezzling the public funds. Very properly so, too; and, if louud guilty, we hope their high social position will not save them from condign punishment. “ He that prigs what isn’t his’n, When he’s cotohed must go to prison.” Just Like Sam. According to a Fenelon farmer, who had business in East Simcoc a few day before the recent election. Mr. Sam Hughes, the hopeful M. P. for North Victoria, was nicely caught at his old trick of“ drawing on his imagination for his facts” while crating at a public meeting in favor of the Tory candidate. “There can he no doubt," said Sam, f‘ that England is the natural market for Canadian heavy horses; and from the township of Mariposa, the home cf the Clydesdale, five carloads of them were shipped every week to the old country during last season.” Where- upon a Mariposa farmer who was in the audience jumped up and said: “ That is not true, Mr. Hughes. I was born in M ariposa and live there, and have owned Clydesdale horses mayself, and not one of them left the township for England last season.” This would have “ sqdelch- ed ’-’ a comm n man; but. he kept right on, and presently, while waxing eloquent on the subject of hogs, told his audience that " Mr. George Matthews, the great pork packer of the Midland district, could add many thousands of dollars a year to his profits by buying American hogs and paying the duty and freight on there; but he patrioticully persisted in purchasing pork from Canadian farm- ers although he could buy it cheaper across the lines. So astounding a state- ment naturally made his healers open their eyes, and at last one of them said: " See here, Mr. Hughes; is the Mr. Matthews you are telling us about a business mun, or is he a. darned fool ? " The question wasa very natural one; but if the person who asked it had known Mr. Hughes and Mr. Matthews as Well as they are known here, he would have doubled the veracity of the former instead of the sanity of the latter; for its just like Sun: to indulge in fibbiug, and it isn't at all like G. M., though a .benevolcnt and kind-hearted man, to buy in a dear market when a cheaper one is open to him. m Surprise Party and Presentation. On the evening of Thursday, the 3rd iust , about 130 friends and neighbors of Mr. Thomas Keown met at his rosi- ; inst. l deuce on lot 17 in the 2nd con. of Ver- 5 18th, at 7. 30. Lord. We thcrelore beg you'to accent these two chairs, cruel, and lamp, not for their intrinsic value, but as a slight token of our esteem for yon. We regret very much the removal of such genial neighbors from our midst. You have our best wishes and prayers that you and your family may be spared many years in the full enjoyment of your new home. If prosperity dawns upon you none will rejoice more than we; if adversity, none will more fullv sym- pathize than your old friends; and if Prov- idence so rules, as We hope lie will, that you again visit our neighborhood, he assured you shall receive a most hearty wrlcomc.

Manny The souvenirs mentioned were pre‘ seated at the right moment by the three young ladies whose names are appended to the address, at the conclusion of which Mr. and Mrs. Keowu made brief replies. Short speeches were then dc- livered by Messrs. Alex. Ellis, Andrew Knox, John Junkin, Sit, Johu Junkin, Jr., and John Stinson ; “after which ta- bleshvere spread in the large diningr room and a. bountiful repast was partaken of. This having been disposed of, the num- erous visitors separated into groups, the old folks chatting about affairs of mutual interest, and the young ones in~ dulging in various innocent amusements. The proceedings were c'imluctod by the Rev. '1‘. Suowdeu, of Bibcaygcon, and that all present enjoyed themselves tlm roughly may be inferred from the fact that they did not take their depu‘turc until nearly ‘2. o‘clock next morning.

Mr. Manning is antic-ring l'rmnXLcnmplaiut of the liver which, though somewhat. serious, his Inauy friends hope will yicll to the skill of the attendant physicians. A Cnmcar. Orsusnoxrâ€"A few days ago Mr. Thomas Cashore, who lives not far from here. had a mare taken sick with indigestion. and ctllcxl in Dr. Mason, of this village. who, doubting that medicine would save her. punctured a hole through her side into her iatcs- tines. thus allowing the accumulated 213 to escape. After the lapse of an hour the operation was reported and . the animal’s life was saved. The oper- ation required great skill and cure. as the more was heavy with foil. This is the second operation of the kind pro- formed by tho doctor since he came to the Falls, and the first was also a success. W A Little Figuring. There were 3548 liquor licenses grant: 0-] in Ontario last year. The total rov- cnuc derived from these and from lines was 368029868. of this the Province kept 3308.2th 17 and gave the munici- palities $294,968 26. The fines ulone amounted to 322.583.07.1m increase of $1.500 over the previous year, which shows that violations of law by license: is increasing, instead of the opposite, as some contend. It. is only fair to say, however, that there is a large decrease in the number committed for drunkeu~ ness. Taking one with another we should say the keepers of taverns in cities average to receive daily over their bars from $50 to $l50â€"suy $100 each all around. In towns and villages $20. In townships 810. It will not be out of the way at all to estimate that the holders of tavern licenses throughout the Province average 815 pa day over the bar. In shops more nmnuy's worth is given for the dollar, and if they do not average $50 worth a day expenses and Stock cannot be paid. There were 438 shops. There were 24 wholesale licenses. and these no “doubt do 8200 p :r day. 71 beer and ‘wiue licensu may be put at $5 per day each. Nm figure this all out: 3005 taverns at 81?) per day. 8â€"i5.075. and 845,075x333 days: 514,108,475 428 shops at. $50 per day, $21,400, and $21,400x3l3 = 6,698,200 24 wholesale at $200 per day. 84.800, and 8! 800x313 : 1.502.400 71 beer and wine at $5 per day 335.3 and 8551:1313 -.: 111,1[5 Total liquor bill for 1 year $22,420,160 To those who may say our figures are too high, we reply that. the sales made in hundreds of places on 5?. Sundays in the your are not included. To those who say our figures are too low. we reply that they are bad enough, dear knows. It is safe to say that each license of the 3548 ruins one home each year and brings want and rain and disgrace to 5: people. This means 17,740 peoples“ hopes gone with the twentyâ€"two and a half millions of dollars. If each of them makes two men a day drunk, it means 4,221,048 men madcdruuk to- disgrace and torture their families and relatives. We cannot take time to estimate the amount of wealth lost to ‘ country by reason of lost time, nor can we attempt to enumerate the crimes committed. or picture the misery entails cdâ€"thc homes turned into hells. the hearts broken, the bickerings, crucltlcs and deaths. Could any country prosper under such a system. Money, comforts, homes, liVes. everything sacrificed to love for drink ! No excuse is allowed to shield any other evil. Where do the National Policy or Unrestricted Reciprocity come in beside this awful slaughter of our interests and lives? Could war itself be more devastating or deadly in its effects ?
