Archibatd Thom, . â€" Thes. Niciol, = Agents for the Grey Review. THE REVIEW. Durham, December 5, 1878. â€"â€"A Danish expidition lately visited Greenland, and attermpted to penetrate inâ€" land. The journey proved to be very danâ€" gerous by reason of chasms in the 1ce. However by dint of perâ€"severonce they made eonsiderable progress, and ascended a mountain peak of about 5,020 feet in height from which as far as the eye could. reach nothing was seen but a sea of ice and snow. â€"â€"The name ot Holloway is well known and Holloway‘s Pills and Ointment have a world wide reputation. _ This gentleman has undertaken at his own cost the buildâ€" iag of an Hospital in London near the Virâ€" ginia Station of the South Western Rauilâ€" way. The grounds include twenty four acres and are to be tastefully laid out and adapted for the use of the patients. . This hospital which is known as ‘the Holloway Bunatoriam is capable of accomodating two hundred patients, and is to be devoted t> the treatinent of nervous diseases. investigation into this maltter shows that she is as lizely now to retain thefirst place as at any former perion in her history. From a report presented to the Internatiâ€" onal Agricultural Congress at Paris, it apâ€" pears that the property of British landholdâ€" ers yields an annmal rent of sixty seven million pounds sterling and that the British system of landlord and tenant yields larger returns from an equal extent of land with less outlay. It seems also that owing to superior skill in the art of husbandry the yield of wheat per acre in Great Britain is on an average twonty eight bushels whereas in France it is sixteen, Germany sixteen, India fourteen and in Russia and America enly thirteen, and further the report shows thai Great Britain has, in proportion to the .vernge, a larger proportion of horses sheep and cattle than any other country. All this shows the manifest superiority of Great Britain in these respects. Yet Britâ€" in is rot able to raise sufficient food for her population and requires therefore to import largelyâ€"the value of her aunual importations of grain and butcher‘s meat being about ninety imillion pounds sterling. These facts sufficiently refute the prophets of evil and show what a market Great Britain offers to all Agricultaral countâ€" Yi@s, â€"Seience in our day is very prolific in her discoveries of racauns of improving the condition of the hunsan race. . At the same tme it must be acknowledged that her good offices are used for purposes of a very éifferent kind. A writer in the last numâ€" Ler of the Scientific American draws atâ€" tention to the extensive frauds in wine making. 1t appears thet much of the liquid sold as wine is entirely innocent of the juice of the grape, and consists of water fortified with alchohol, colored with foreign matter and flavoured with different sorts of ether sccording t> the quality, the age or the variet; of the wine which is produeâ€" al,.

In replying to the toast of his health, Lord Dufferin expressed his grateful sense of the honor done him. He complemented the Canadian people on their loyalty and love of country ; spoke of his ministers as able and trustworthy, and referred to the payâ€" ment of the Fishery Award, and passed a warm eulogium on the American people. In conclusion the noble Lord said that this great demonstration was not so much a compliment to himself as an evidence of the interest the English people took in their Canadian fellow countrymen, and econcluded eloquent address amid great applause. â€"For many years British authors and publishers have complained, and with reaâ€" ton, that they were robbed by the Ameriâ€" ean publisher appropriating their works and reproducing them on this side of . the Atlantie so as to supply the American pooâ€" ple with works and engravings at a very much reduced cost, to the profit of the American publisher aud the loss of the British author. Remonstrances were made but the Yaukee quiectly held on his wav, pocketing the profits. Mowever a new pirate has now arisen, and the Americans are up in arms.

In a few weeks the din of Municipal politics will be upon us, when Reeves and , Deputy RHeeves, will be setting forth their wiso: management of municipal affuirs during their term of office, and asking a just verdict from their constituents. Indeed the fray bas already commenced, or rather we should say, partics are looking to their lines of attack and defence, and closely examining every bit of vautage ground ; so that when the decisive moment comes, viectory may hbe secured. â€"In these cireumâ€" stances and before reason is completely blinded by passion or prejudice, or both, â€"in which case all argument is out of the questionâ€"a word of remonstrauce, as to the way in which municipal elections are generally conducted, may not be amiss. And in the first place,we may say,that the office of municipal councillor is one of great importance aud great responsibility. As oflices are usually regarded those of M. P. and M. P. P. are held in much greater estimation, and considered to be. much more honorable, and in some reâ€" spects this is true ; but the work of muniâ€" cipal councillors so intimately affects the well being of every ratepayer in the municipality that perhaps it is of more im portance, that we should examine more s‘osely into the qualiGications of those seeking municipa) offices, than of those who look after parliamentary honors. The great and radical defect in our system of conducting municipal elections is this, that the qualifications of the candidate seeking election are never considered, or ut all events they reccive vory little conâ€" sideration at the hands of ratepayers genâ€" erally,but the great and important question upon which the issue turns, is, to which political party he bel ngs. Now this is clsarly an abuse of a great privilege which is enjoyed by the ratepayer. Municipal elections have noth‘ng to do with polities. What has the making of roads and ditches, and the repairing of bridges to do with politics? or even thre larger matters of adâ€" judieating upou railway bonuses or temperâ€" ance byâ€"laws. A man who has no conâ€" ception of the naturs of the balanee of ]tr:ulu. or of the rise and fall of stocks, may make a most efficient councillor, but a very indifferent member of Parliament, I ind vice versa. â€" For the office of Councilâ€" lors we thould endeavour to select The reason for this intense party spirit ‘ in municipal elections is singular in it;olf.‘ and from what we have already said can | ouly proceed on the supposition that counâ€". cillors can be of some servics to their resâ€". pective parties when a political contest occurs. But here a very grave error creeps in, for the powor and influence of a muniâ€" cipal councillor in questions of general poliâ€" tics is very insignificant, and if in the 4isâ€" charge of the duties of his office he maniâ€" fests a strong party bias, to favor the one side or the other, this is an uumixed evil and of itself unfits him for the office which he holds. Let us hope that in the coming eleetions men will be chosen on their merâ€" rits aud fitness for office, independent of revery outside consideration; that old and l tried servants, who have proved themselâ€" ves to be wise, intelligent and econounical meaol sound priciucil common sense, men of honesty and intelligence, who are not offics seekers per s°, but who would very much prefer the quiet of retirement to the ca~es of office conld their services be dispensed with. Tle man who seeks the office for its own sake,should at once stand disqualified in the eyes of the ratepayers, for as it is not one of emolument but one which requires considerable sacrifice of time and labour on the part of him who loes his duty we!l, it follows, that some ulterior object 1s in view which bodes no good to the municipality. It has someâ€" times ocenrred that farmers are so anxiâ€" ous to serve the municipality that they allow their fences to tumble down, their Iterior object is in view wh ood to the municipality. _ mes ocenrred that farmers is to serve the municipal low their fences to tumble aildin ;« to get dilapidated, : lecome overran with Ca d the repmuring ol bridy lities ? or even the larger dicating upou railway bor ce byâ€"laws.

Exceptions there are, and have been, but this is the rule asattosted to by all who have given any atter.tion to education. The first year or two at school by a child entoring at five, is spont generally in gazâ€" ‘ ing into vacancy, in inhaling a vitiated atâ€" mosphere, and in contracting bad habits of inactivity, and in having its mental and mus>u‘ar powers terribly impairec. Meanâ€" while however the time of the teacher is too much oceupied with these young childâ€" ren and his attention is diverted from the other pupils who are in positive need of instruction. In these cireninstances, where infant schools are not instituted, or where the Kindergarten system is not in use, it would te : infinitely better for young childrenâ€"better for their health, better for their fature progress in learning and better for their moralsâ€"to be kept at home and receive instruction at their mother‘s knee until they reach the age of seven at Icast.

Str.â€"Secing in your last issuo a lefter f:om "A Citizen" asking for information. I have to trouble you again in That Hat affair. To the Review He states thai the Hat cost $4, that $2.10 had been paid on account and the balance carried to the Chairmau‘s private account. [ aim grieved to have to correct that stateâ€" ment. _ That Hiat did certainly cost about $4, but only 75 cents were paid on accoun and the balancewas mot carried to the Chairman‘s private account. ‘That is "The truth about That Hat." How "A Citizen" should hazard an assertion on a question o¢ such â€"vital. importance as "That Hat" simp‘y on conjecture is more thar I can aeco int for. â€" And the string of invectives rande agiinst this unfortunate, are simply distressing.. He says "small men have small ways" yes! some men have extremeâ€" ly small. 1 never heard the proverb before but it strikes me as somewhat peculiar that only small men should have small ways and not big men. However the proyâ€" erb is too deep for my limited education. He asks me if I intended to "insult the party who got the Hat." â€" Such a thing never was meditated and I feel sorry that "A Citizen" or any one else should suppose one was offered as I respect the Chairman as much as they do. Some of the subscribers appeared to me to be rather dilatory and the only way to get at them was through the Chairmar, and I did it as the result proved, in regard to the publicity of the affair, "A Citizen" and I will have to agree to differ on that subject. Stz..â€"It appears some of the Deputy Reâ€" turning officers for this riding of Grey, have met with a dissappointment. The voting was at their Residences and as usual hive made a charge tor it, but Mr. Lauder has objected to pay it unless a certificate is procured to prove that the House was used for that purâ€" pose. Mr. Lander is respectfully asked ‘‘who are the parties to certify." Another election must scon take place and &s a matter of justâ€" ice this should at once be explained. **M yours etc. i Depeuty Returning Officer, He then states about the scenervy from the school house and as the Auctioneer says, "Articles too numerous to mention." But my opinion is, that the best way to see the village is by night, and & dark night. Thanking you for your kinduess and courâ€" tesy, and trusting tho elongated plug is finished. I remain as ever Jixxs. He also states that I "cast slurs on the village and surroundings." What a shame for me to do such a thing ! If I could have only known before the first epistle of That Hat" came out that he would have taken the matter so much to heart, I would have tried to have pictured a small paraâ€" dise out of the place. _ The City of Toronto I believe was one time known by the classic name of "Muddy York" but that does not apperr to have stunted its growth or done sway with its prosperity, and I think if this village is going to be any thing whether it is situated in a swamp or on the top of a mountain will make no difference, and if "A Citizen" will look at the matter in the proper light he will see that "That Hat" has been of great service to the viilage, as through your valuable paper people are asking "where is Dundalk," who perhaps never would have heard of it otherwise. _ Now Mr. Editor 1 have nothing further to say to "A Citizen" but if you wilt allow me I wouid like to say a few words to "A memâ€" ber of the Committee," bus how I am going to do it is a puzzle as he is writing about one thing, I another. I wrote about the "payment" he is writing about the "presâ€" entation," and goes on about an "economiâ€" cal sidewalk," wellâ€"I consigned that to what I considered its proper destination. I cannot congratulate him on his ambition and am sorry his single aim missed fireâ€" better luck next time. To the Review.

Railway. On the arâ€" vival of the train at Monet3n Junetion in Nova Bcotia they were welcomed by a :::gntuhfio- were pnnnudâ€"the school« children who were marshalled on the platâ€" formsinging "God save the Queen." â€" The most important point was Riumouski where the French inhabitants assembled in great numbers to welcome their Excellencies, addresses were presented by the dignataries of ,t.ho Roman Catholic Church, and were re:N to by Lord Lorn in French. At this point Hon. Mr. Joly and the members of the Quebec Cabinet came on board the rain and were presented to the Goverâ€" nor General. From the Globe we learn that all along the route from Halifax to Montreal the reception was most enthusi astic. . But it is to be regretted that the first impressions of the interior of Canada received by their Excellencies were not of a more flattering character. â€" It is true that the scenery of the valley of the Metapediac through which the railway runs, is in many places grand, and would remind Lord Lorn of his native hills ; and that the glimpses of the St. Lawrence occasionâ€" ally obtained from the train are very fine, but the country as a whole, after leaving Remouski, is most ininviting. â€" Agriculture ; is evidently two or three centuries behind, the houses and outer building are of a most primitive charnacter â€" being chiefly thatched with straw, and with the excepâ€" tion of a large church here and there, no public buildings aze anywhere to be seen. The train arrived at Montreal about acon on Friday. The civic dignataries, in their robes of office, received the Marguis and H r Royal Mighuess at the station, and after the presentation of addresses and replies given by Lord Lorn, the whole party were escorted by a procession of an immense size to to the Windsor Hotel. In the evening they were entertained together by the 8; Andrew‘s Society at the St. Andrew‘s ball, and on the following even ing their Excellencies were present at a concert given by the St. Andrews Society. On Monday the 2nd inst., the Marquis and Her Royal Highness visited the Ville Marie convent and MeGill University, receiving the most enthusisastie receptions at both places. â€" Various addres es fromthe profesâ€"ions and learned socities wore preâ€" sented to the Governor Gemeral, and an address ftrom the Ladies Educational Asâ€" sociation was presented to Her Royal Highness. _ On Tucsday forencon the Regal party left Mortzeal amid the chcerâ€" ing of thousands of the citizens and reached Ottowa about four in the afternoon, Unfortunately the violent inclemency of the weather sadly interfered with the arâ€" :rnngeumnts of the citizens : indeed put a perfect damper on the grand display which they proposed making. _ However, notwithstanding the rain and wind the civic authorities and many of the people were at the station, and an address of welcome was presented by the Mayor, t> which the Murquis male an eloquent reply. .

The deputation came to the city by way of Hamilton, having left Goldâ€" stone, on the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce, in Mr. Broughton‘s private car, which that gentleman placed at their disposal, the Great Western Railway being interested in the construction of the proposed road, which is to comnect Goldstone and Arthur, a disâ€" tance of seven miles. The deputation conâ€" gisted of Charles Clarke, M.P.P., John Meâ€" Gowan, M. P. P., Dr. Barr, M. P. P., ®. J, Chadwick, _ Francis Gauhan, Edward iO‘Connor, James Goldie, Caleb Chase, A. Sharp, Guelph ; Win. Clark (Reeve), John Anderson (Registrar), A. Buschlan, W. H. \Drummond. E. J, O‘Callaghan, A, Fraser, Arthur village. The officers of the Comâ€" pany are:â€"J. Dimpor, President ; F. J. Chadwick, Viceâ€"President ; E. J, O‘Calâ€" laghan, Secretary. The gentlemen were introduced to the Premier by Mr. Clarke, M.P.P., who called upon Mr. Chadwaick to speak. Mr. Chad wick said he would endesvour to explain the object of the deputation us briefly as possible, Some time ago the people of Arthur and the section of country surrounding it thought that they required more raulway mccommodation than they had at present, and accordingly began to move in the direction of supplying this want. â€" Latterly they brought this matter to a focus by Iaying it before Mr. Broughâ€" ton, Manager of the Gre.t Western Railâ€" way, and Hon. H.C. Childers, who was then in the country. The scheme received the hearty approval of these geuticinen,and it was afterwards endorsed by the Great Western Board. ‘The scheme was to build a road between Goldstone and Arthur, a distance of seven miles, and so give the latter village direct communication with the markets of the world. The estimated coâ€"t of the line was $45,000, but it would probâ€" ably run to $50,000, The Attorneyâ€"Generalâ€"That‘s a very low sum. The Attorneyâ€"General said the gentle~ mun seemed to mauke but that it was anm important piece of roadway, At the sume time there were dificulties is the way. Tue policy of the Legislavire waus to give no assistunce to sections of railway less than twenty miles in extent. Numerous appliâ€" eations for aid to short lines had been made, but in only one iustanceâ€"the Thunder Bay roadâ€"had aid been granted If the Arthur Junetion Ruilway conmnected with the Georgian Bay and Wellington Railway that difficulty would be removed, for then the amailgamated lines would exâ€" tend over twenty miles, Another rule was not to make a promise to any roud until its financial basis was accomplished. In this case that was searcely yet completed, At the same time it was well to hear statements, although unable to arrive a conclusions. Mr, Chadwick replied yes,. The grade between the two poiuts was an ernsy one. The Company proposed to raise $35,000 by bonuses from municipulities, and ask the Government to grant aid at the rate of $#,â€" 000 per mile, or $14,000 altogetuer. All theCompany would have to do was to grade Arthur Junction Railway. A number of other gentlemen baving spoken. theCompany would have to do was to grade the road, the Great Western Railwauy hayâ€" ing promised to do the restâ€"ilay the iron and put it in runming order. Thue soil uroumd Arthur was good, and eventuaily the district would become a fine section uf country. The people were willing to tux themselves to the extent of $85,000to have a road to the seaboard. No doult the Goyâ€" ernment would be liberal enough to grunt what was asked. Mr. O‘Callaghan asked if the chances of both roads â€"the Georgian Bay and Welâ€" lington and the Arthur Junetionâ€"for aid would be better by amailgamation. Mr, Chadwick said he understood, from the Attorneyâ€"Geperal‘s remarks that the best way to settle the matter would be for the railway to start from Goldstonc, run through Arthur to Mount Forest, and thence to the lake. That would obviate the difficulty as regards the shortness of the line. The Attorneyâ€"General seid it would b impossible to say at the present tune. The Attorneyâ€"General said he would be glad to consider the matter more fully aya future day.
