and cattle. 'the premises, lot Tuesday, und : Mr. E. Bowes lippery ground in these days and their day of retribution is nearer than 'they suppose. The familiar adage, 'Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,' is being exemplified all around these times, The base, cor- rupk tyrants unaware that the sword of justice hangs supported by a single hair over their heads, go on from bad to worse till an outraged people snap the thread and Jet the avenging sword fall on the head of the coward tyrant, and it is well that it is so, for a people that will whine and snivil under the misrule of corrupt rulers are unworthy of a better fate. Revolution in its worst form is in every way preferable to submission to corrupt tyrants, the only loyalty that ix worthy of the name is that which at all risk stands forth in defence of justice and liberty for the people, and when corrupt rulers fall the sons of liberty rejoice. The overthrow of the Government of Ven- ezuela as described below is & case in point : Curacao, W.I., Oct. 8.--News has been received here of the complete * overthrow of the de facto Government of Venezuela. This was anticipated, The Government troops, which had taken up their position near Tequos to protect the capital from the insurgent army, were engaged in by the forcos of General Orespo, some fourteen thousand to fifteen thousand strong, and were utterly routed. The place where the battle occurred was at San Pedro, an out-of-the-way village. It was a hot, bloody battle, but of short 'duration, . The discontented soldiers the Kovarnuet army were no ny rained veterns of Orespo, and desertions from the ranks of the government army helped Orespo. Dismayed by the terrible onslaught of the enemy they wavered and fled after the battiehad raged only a short timé. The Oreposit# followed up their. advantage, using guns and matchets to wreak vengeance on the demoalized fugitives. Many were killed in the combat. The slaughter which characterized the pursuit of the unlucky soldiers of the administration was terrible, In this way the killed and wounded among the government troops were more numerous than those who fell in the battle itself. Besides the capture of an immense amount of ammunition and arms the Orespoists mude hundreds of prisoners. The most important capture was that of the Government commander-in-chief. Without waiticg to rest his tired but enthusiastic men, Crespo is report- ed to have given ordors to advance at once upon the capital. Itis quite probable he is now in Oafacas. Crespo hag no one left to oppose him. 'Worthy Sentiments. One of Montreal's prominent citizens, a popular and influential Conservative, on being interviewed by a Witness re- porter made many valuable observa. tions which, though aimed at the pol- o| servative "or Tessier or Fitzpat he thought. the. ves would have to say to , he replied that no matter y said, the Montreal Con- rvs had decided to give ifthe af 'They believe that a great provincial party would secure greater respect for the provincial rights which the present representatives of the pro- vince in the Ottawa Oabinet are : | powerless to protect, and are convine- od that that Oahinet reckons too much much upon the province to commit man; ination which otherwive would not be attempted.' 2 Live Stock. Tf Canada's future prosperity largely depends on ber live stock trade, those men that devote largely of their en- intelligence and ng, breeding or purchas- secures him plunder, but let the plunder cease and the loyal (1) Judes will betray his country to the highest bidder. The workers and not the mouthies are the true patriots. A country's spoilers invariably robe themselves in the flaming garb of loy- alty like the sniveling hypocrite bedeck themselves in the livery of heaven the more effectunlly $o serve the Devil. -------------- Apples on Top. The apple trade of the older pro- vinces of the Dominion is being pushed with much energy and almost every- thing else seems to be dropped till the apples have been disposed of, apple picking is the order of the day end men, women and children are hopping through the trees like wquirels and whole stacks of barrels are mes with in every direction being conveyed towards the shipping stations. In 1891 Cana- dian apples to the value of $1,235,000 were shipped to the British markets and over $203,000 worth to other markets. The first week of the pre sent month 54,489 barrels of Canadian Apples were shipped from the port of Montreal, one day last week one ship took off 11,000 barrels: It is to be hoped thas in the harry due care may have been taken in the packing, other- wise shippers may get left, good prices are being given in the British market for good apples, but bad ones can't be sold at any price and shippers will get them thrown on their hands. 0 great i the apple c FER used a rush in the fm | port of Canadian fruit. Murdering by Wholesale. From the frequent occurrence of double and triple murders it would almost appear as if the slaughter mania was increasing in intensity. First we have an innoffensive old gentleman-- Mr. Borden--and his wife brutally murdered in their own peaceful home without the slightest noise or confu sion, there being three young ladies in the house at the time who all deny any knowledge of the crime. One of the inmates is charged with the crime but no proof has yet been furished of her guilt. Again we have a mother and child mysteriously drowned, the husband and father is charged with foul play in the matter, a jury pronounces him not guilty and here the matter rests. Now we havea triple slaughter, a father, mother and daughter, and the verdict of the coroner's jury is that Charles Luckey, son of the murdered parents and brother of the murdered young lady, is the wilful murderer of the father, mother and sister. The _itical management of that province are [verdict don't prove the guilt of the 0 less applicable to tho political man- t of the Dominion, and poli- iticians, both Tory and Grit, would do well to paste many of the observations ~ We quote the following of the ol to: en a rations of the Toronto in Sack Cloth. | & > 3 prisoner but it involves his commital for trial when the court must either prove him guilty or discarge him, Such a state of things makes civil- the crown of their hats for futures, ion hide ber face with very shame. | Orillia, Got, 16.--Gauduara | Dinner at Heasd's Hotel. | will be interesting.

Stray Oattle.--It will be seen by the advertisement in another column that 17 head of fine fat cattle strayed from Mr. Thos. Druean's pasture fields near Seagrave, Reach, one day last week. He offers a suitable reward for information that will lead to their re- covery. £7" The Paymaster of the pat- rons of the Manchester cheese factory has already paid out the pre- sent season over $5,000 for milk. He With commendible liberality the enterprising proprietor of the Man- chester cheese factory purposes at the close of the season's business on Oct. 31, for three days--commencing Nov. 1--manufacturing cheese, free of charge, for any party who will bring three days' milking to the factory. By-law Quashed. The local option by-law passed at Stouffville last May has been quashed by Judge Morgan. The majority was ouly four and more than this number of votes were declared bad. So a majority of the legal votes are against local option farce. Presbyterians Excluded. Mixxearoris, Oct. 12.--The Na- tional Council of the Congregational Churches of America, in session here, adopted to-day a resolution prohibiting Presbyterian ministers from officiating as pastors of Congregational churches. Hard on Methodism. Mr. P. M. Sauvalle, of the Canadien has taken an action for $200 damages against Mr. J. P.

The discontent, the ferment of revolution, has suddenly subsided. Once wore the party lines are reforming themselves, the old party cohesion is reinstated, and a revitaliz- ed and reinvigorated! orginization dis- places the demoralized and incoherent chaos of six weeks ago. It were idle to speculate on the causes that have conspired to produce this almost magical result. No doubt there are many and diverse, changing as to their character and varying in the manner of their combination according to locality and circumstances. The clumsy interference of the Republican party has done much to weaken and discourage the independent movament, and the old Democratic bosses have been furnished with potent agencies for recovering control by appeals to re- awakened prejudices and passi The Ir. d vers abscess on the k by B.B. té medical aid had failed, and I thought I wontd try it. 1 washed the leg with the 8 tions, After using one bottle I could walk on crutches, after taking three, I threw away the crutehes, took a soythe and went a ok in the field.
