The votes of 50 members were recorded against this farce. The M. P's for both North and South On- tario voted for the white washing of the mur: derers. On Monday I5th inst., Mr Mckenzie intro- duced a very much needed bill--this was a bill for the better protection of the lives and limbs of persons traveling by railway cars.

Dr. Kenealy is the advocate who espoused the cause of the famous Tichborne Claimant, detending him at all hazards, daring, insulting and nearly pulling the ears of both Bench and Bar, snubbed the Government and defied the crown tawyers. For this he had his robes tripped off him and he was driven from the benches and the pliable erowd said amen. The other day they elected him to a seat in the Commons.

The man "what" runs the Oshawa Pre- Varicator is in a dreadful stew over some supposed attempt at repudiation which he sees looming up before his fevered imagina- tion. With that native modesty (?) which always characterizes this Oshawa sage he takes upon himself the very useless and no less thankless task of lecturing some of the members of the Reach Council on what he is pleased to term their advocacy of repudia- tion. After amusing himself--and no doubt fancying he is amusing others--yith. a highly original history of the whole tran saction--its originality being its only merit The Report of the Registrar-Gen- eral for the Province of Ontario of the registered births, marriages and deaths in the province of Ontario for the year ending Dec 31st 1873 is now before us and while accuracy is not claimed for the information con- tained still the information isnot un- interesting and is on the whole high- ly encouraging. In the matter of BIRTHS we find that there were 27,5562 registered in this provive in 1873; of these 14,295 were males and 13,338 females. Of the above there were 200 pair of twins and one instanee of three at a birth. Of the total number of births there are 230 chance children or not al- together comme il faut. The number of registered births in the county of Ontario for 1873 was 911 of which 485 were males and 426 females. MARRIAGES. The total number of marriages re- gistred in the province in 1873, was 11,000 couples or 22,000 individuals, of these over one half were under 25 years of age, and about one third under 35 years. There were 84 over 60; 62 over 70. and 18 avar R0 years of age at the time of their marriage. Amongst the unusual cases may be mentioned a youth of 86 married | a lady of 54 ; a man of 84 married a woman of 55; a stripling of 80 mar- ried a lady of 60; one of 76 married a wife of 34 ; a batebelor of 71 mar- ried a matron of 70; a lad of 17 mar- ried-a girl of 15; a young man of 22 married a lass of 14. The following show that the some- what venerable individuals selected wives from another generation, A man of 70 married a woman of '24 ; one 76 married one of 34; one of 70 married one of 35; ene of 67 mar- ried one of 22, one of 55 ono of 18. The total number ot marriages registered in the county of On- tario in 1873 was 365, or one mar- riage for every day in the year Sun days and all. --as it unfortunately has not a rag of truth to hang by, this bashful and no less truthful indignant over the conclusion drawn from his own premises, and fairly raves against the representatives of Reach for their daring to question whether or not Reach is indebted for all that ix moralist waxes how does the Vindicator Know that Reach is non-resident fund. Who knows what ha, become of all the money which Reach bas already paid on the debentures issued on the strength of the non-resident lands. Is it not soon enough for Reach to pay money When County's Councilsfrom year to year winked at the em bezslement of thousands of dollars ofthe pub. lic money, who kauows but that large amounts which should have been placed to the credit of the township have been pocketed and when she finds she really owes it? with criminal carelessness the zled with the other pickings, Reach is abundantly able and no less willing to pay every cent which can fairly charced ron ner, Dut she ud an absolute fool to pay one dollar till she knew that she really owed it. Messrs Ewers and St John can well afford to despise the awkward taunts of the Vindicator ; their reputation for. honor and integrity are too well established to be at all effected by any such silly twad- dle. -- Sacrilege. Tn 'these days when the severity of half a dozen wint rs is being crowded into one, overcoats, caps and mufflers become of 8pec- ial importance, and it would appear require to be well watched. On Sabbath, 7th inst. while the Rev. Mr. Chesney was condncting the morning service in the Baptist Church. Port Perry, while he-was delivering the thun- ders of the law against transgres sorsand en- Joining a strict observance of the ten com- mandments, some scamp was in the vestry either playing off an awkward joke or tearing in pieces the 8th commandment ; for when his reverence had done his work and went to the vestry to get his cap and muffler it was found that some one had taken them away and the only alternative left for the 'minister was either to go home without a hat or borrow one ; he adopted the latter. The 'most singular feature of the whole is that rthere was no one seen around except thei own people, and it was always supposed that no one had access to the vestry except DEATHS. The number of deaths registered in the province in 1873 was 11,070 of whom 5838 were males and 5,232 foroales. Considerably more than one fourth of all the deaths is made up of ehild- gen under 3 years of age. This shows the rough road the dear little anes have to trave! when over one-fonwth of all the children that are born diedbefore they are 3 years old. «One fifth.ef all that pass the age of '3 years diebefore they roach 21 years, and one third of all thal pass 21 die before -they-ave 40. The names of some .sixteen are give whodied at the age of:100 years and over, of whom twelve were men it may the cap certainly was taken away.-- It may have been by mistake. The morn. ing was fearfully coldand it may be that some one got ahead of the preacherand put on two caps by mistake and 'the party may be ashamed to acknowledge his bluntler 'and bring back the cap--we are not aware that any hat or cap was left in the place of the missing one, If any ons took the cap by | anistake, which is most likely the case, it vere better o restore it to its owner at once sad not have the fama go abroad that we two at 103, two at 104, four at 105, two.at 107 and one at 115.

Certainly & community like Prince Albert would not stand by with folded hands for over a year according to heir own showing, and see influences at work which could and should be stopped at once but never make an attempt to do it. Mr Ewers said that Mr Forman had pre- sented a very hard case, a something demand. ing a remedy : but there happens to be an- other side to the question. The, law has prescribed a remedy for the evil of which Mr Forman complains and itis the fault of the parties concerned if they do not make neo of the rem. dy provided. It must not be overlooked that there is a large amount of money invested in these hotels and if the license were taken away the property would be almost worthless Both houses have been favorably reported on and he would be in fa- vor of granting license for both, the machin- ery to be set in motion by the by-law is snch as will secme an observance of the law. Mr St Joha does not see that the granting of the prayer of the petition would effect any- thing as it would only cause all the disorder represented by Mr Forman to be confined to one in place of two if he would go in for one he would go in for two ; he certainly does not understand what motive the petitioners have inasking for one house to be licensed Mr Forman has said tha. both houses had & cor- rupting influence on the people especially on the youth, and if such is the case he cannot see why they should ask for either house to be sustained, if nothing but closing the houses c&n correct the evil why pray to have one of them kept open.

The Committee have gone to work with becoming energy, senton some ten or a dozen teams and at no small expense have suceeded in making one of the best, if not th - best track they ever had. Now, boys, go into training and be thoroughly prepared for the races on Tuesday and Wednesday next, Our cotem the Ottawa Free Press in his "horse nofes" says :-- The Brockville Trotting races are to come off on the 17th and 18th inst, one week after the Toronto meeting, and we would advise our Cttawa eporting friends to go to work immediately and raise the funds necessary (say $500) to have a grand trotting meeting here, the week after the Brockville races.-- If $500 can be raised by subscription, purses to the amount of $1000 can be safely given, and if that is done, there is no reeson why we should not have one of the best winter meetings to be held in Canada. No time should be lost as the track at the driving park is undoubtedly the best place for the for the races, and will have to be cleared im- mediately, and there'a great deal of work to be done. On account of the inclemency of the weather the above Races have been postponed until TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, FEB. 23rd and 24th.
