M2 avuodvillc 3mm», As announced in our last issue a meeting was held in the Town Hall, on Friday evening to discuss some im~ portant village business. It turned out that the trustees consider that the con~ venience of the villagers requires the construction of some new sidewalk and accordingly request a levy ot $100 to be made on the taxable property of the village to enable them to put their plans into execution. The meeting was not largely attended but all those present were unanimously of the opin- ion that the asked for grant should be made. It is the intention of the True- tees to rebuild the sidewalk on the main street from the corner of Church street to the Presbyterian church, lays ing a walk five feet wide. The old walk will be laid from the church to the school-house which has long been necessary, and an endeavor will be made to build a new one on theMariposa side of the main street. The amount of the levy is insignificant in comparison with the convenience and benefit to be derived, and we do not think that any objection will be made. If the assessâ€" ment was extended to an annual one it would be a tax which Would well repay the ratepayers, and in a few years we could boast of a handsome and neat village. A vote is to be taken on the matter next Monday week, 29th inst, when the council will be peti- tioned to make the increased asaese‘ ment. “wmm. Tun opium traflic forced upon the Chinese by the British government, has becomeso great, and the use of the drug so confirmed, that it is thought attempts to.eradiute it would prove worse than useless. Since the war with Chine the consumption has gradually increased to almost double. In 1860 India. exported to China 58,600,63 chests and in 1872, the last year of which there me any re- turns, it had risen to 93,364,00. From time to time the discussion on this great national blot is resumed and it is safe to say it will constantly recur until the clause of the treaty forcing the Chinese government to allow of the import of the drug from India he annulled. Thc contemplation of the aituution is Ear from palatable to the British mind. The forcing of a terrible cum upon a helpless country, by a nation which ranks“ the leading Christian people of the world, is, to say the least inconsis- Unit, and A \v'itherifig sarcasm to minion- arim in tluc land. The Catholic heirarchy of Ireland have reported their opinion of the Land Bilh They recognize in it an honest and etateemunlike purpose of placing on meolid and equitable basis the relations of landlord and tenant in Irelend. To effect a permanent and satisfactory sets tlement of the land question they recom- l mend. eighteen alterations in the bill, ‘ but Mr. Gladstone in reviewing the alterations proposed eayt:â€"â€"" 1 am sensible of the weight attaching to the representations of I body to intimately associated with the people, and thankful for their acknowledgment of the intenn tione with which the land Bill Walt (ruined. 1 can assure them that if the Bill ll recognized. unit appears to he. by the Irish people and their represent- atives an vnlueble, the Government will show. no eleckneee in putting it forward until it becomes law.

In Denmark the Folkething has been discussing divorced persons. In Spain the Sagasta Minstry is busied about the reestablishment of civil marriages. M. Naquetfs bill for legal- izing divorce was defeated a short time ago by the French Chamber, which is now called upon to deal with proposals legalizing the marriage of brothers-in-law with their BiIWWiu~law and the mar- riage of priests. In Italy the divorce question has been brought before the Legislature by a proposal to sanction divorce when either the husband or the wife has been condemned to penal ser- vitude for life, and to convert a legal separation into a divorce when three years, in case of childless marriages, or five years, if there are children, have elapsed without a reconciliation after the judgment of separation was pro»- nounced. ' By this proposal every ‘ “separation dc cows" would ripen inma divorce by lapse of time. It will be in- terestingtosee how so drastic a proposal l will be received by the Italian Chamber. â€"-Pall Mall Gazette. The Nihilists of Russia since the death of the late Czar, have become more active than ever and the hanging of the assassins has but. tended to reuse them to still greater energy. The new Czar has been condemned to death and also the Empress and any moment may see the tragedy of a few weeks since repeat- ed. At present the Czar ieshut up in the castle of Gatsohina which has been fortified and guarded as if it were beaeig- ed. Nihilism is increasing and it is very evident that immense concessions must he made by the Czar before trail- quility will be restored. A few days Since a. delegate of the Revolutionary Committee placed betel-e the Czar the the conditions on which the Nihilists are Willing to cease their agitation. The Czar listened to all the messenger had to say and then had him arrested. This has induced a still deeper feeling of resentment and the future is looked forward to with extreme apprehension. The Russian people demand liberty. Centuries of despotic autocracy has had its eti‘ect on Russia and to day she stands the most backward of all the European Nations. The Russian people are fast swaking to a sense of this fact and un- less some form of government is granted them which will place them on the same level with other nations, nothing may be expected but assassination and conspiracy. Ademand for liberty is called treason and the only answer is banishment or death. A few days ago 12,200 convicts mostly all politicsl were sent to Silaria and the horrors of that exile are getting too well known to re- quire description. It is with no ordinary pride and satisfaction that we lately had the hon or of an introduction to one of the meat eminent men of the age, Professor Thomas Holloway, a gentleman who has done more for the advancement of medical science than any other man that can be named. It is true the public have long been fumilinr with his great reputation. The enormous demand which exists throughout the whole of Europe, Australia. the East Indies, and most other parts of the oiVilized world, for his famous Pills and Ointment have Imulehim known. For proceeding atop by step, on strict- ly scientific principles, the Professor, at the early part of his career attained to a discovery. He noticed how much of the boosted medical knowledge of ti. present day was empirical, and how little was really known of the laws of hnmenphywiology. Continuing his in- vestigations, a happy thought struck him, like an inapirntion. and he located every disease,â€"â€"no matter what its mu ture end diagnosisâ€"in theblood. The blood has vitalityâ€"the blood is alive ; it is indeed, in the language of Scripture “tho life of mum." If that atrmun of existence isimpnra, how can the human being be other wise than feeble, exhaust- od,emncintod and ntfiicted by various forms of diseaw’i To purify the blood, and keep it pure, is virtually to banish richness from the earth. Here, then is hope for tho unfloror. The poor invalid, despairing of memory, may go forth to the world «renovated. and strong man. Professor Hollowny's treatment eradi- cntus all our nihwmts; whether they are oftho ntonmch, liver, kidneys. lungs, heart or skin, he refers thoir origin to the blood, and restores tho apparently diaensod organ to pristine and perfect health.
