The internal state of Russia seems to be getting worse and worse. â€" The iron heel of tyranny, in whatever form it assumes, is followed by similar results, and sooner or later brings its own punishment. Towards the end of last century the despotism of the ehurch and aristocracy brought about the French Revolation, which was a protest against class legislation, and it would seem that Russia, where there exist only two classesâ€"the despots and the sertsâ€"is on the verge ot such another social upheaval which may be still more terrible and farâ€"reaching in its results than the reâ€" â€"From the fishing reports wo learn that the entire catch for 1878 amounted to $13,â€" 215,678, of which the fisheries of Nova Scotia yielded $6,131,596 ; Quebec $2,664,â€" 055 ; New Brunswick $2,305,790; British Columbia $925,766 ; Prince Edward Island $8140,344 ; and Ontario $348,122.

Maedonald was the only raan who was capable of directing public affurs and bringing prosperity back to Canada, and that the National Policy was the only means of accomplishing that object. Sir John has been reinstated in power, the N.

This is a specimen of the inconsistency of National Policy meun after intensifying]the evils of which they complain. In like manner, Dr. Orton the prime initiator of the National Policy, advises Canadian farmers to petition the Imperial Parliament that Canadian proâ€" ducts be admitted free into British ports, while foreign grains andflive stock should be excluded by a prohibitory duty,and this after he voted that British products be exeluded from Canadian ports by a tariff which is virtually prohibitory. _ Surely assurance can go no farther than tlis. «eem to find a place in every corner of the Russian Empire,have forthe present desistâ€" gants for the Grey Review.

Nearly all the houses were of wood, so that the fire, when once kindled, spread like a train of gunpowdet. "It was," says an eveâ€"witness, ‘like a great show of fireâ€" works." â€" Driven by a strong wind, the fire consumed not merely the town itself, but the woods which surfounded it, and many who bad taken refuge there perished misâ€" erably. These and many other acts of gross lawlessness show that the internal condition of Russiais in a most deploraâ€" ble state. ‘"The prontoters of the railroad scheme having for its object the extension of the Waterloo branch of the Grand Frunk to the Georgian Bay have been very reticent of late, but have not been idle. Tt appears that a byâ€"law is about to be stibmitted to the township of Woolwich, proposing to issue debentures to the amount of $60,000 said debentures to run twenty years, and bear six per cent, interest. These debenâ€" tures are to constitute the bonus to be givâ€" en by the township to the railway company Other bonuses are in a fair way of being secured all the way to Owen Sound. The Waterloo Chronicle, published at Waterloo, in the County of Waterloo say s: Tas road job on the gully, in rear of the British Hotel is progressing yery slowly.

""With respect to the route proposed, we have only hearsay, but that is to the effect that it is intended to cross Kingâ€"street in this town, elose to the bridge, and run past Snider‘s mill on the south side, and up the valley of the Mill Creek, crossing the river above St. Jacob‘s, near the dam, and thence through Elmira to Drayton, where the Wellington, Grey and Bruce will be crossed,thence as directly as may be to Owen Sound." This is an old scheme recently revived. It certainly presents many advantages to section of country proposed to be traversed even, perhaps, superior to any other scheme. It is a through line, having diâ€" reet communication with the seaboard and the United States railway system. It is in the fullest sense a competing hne, being controlled by an indepenaent company ar d having a shorter route and more ready aceess to the markets of the world than the other lines of railway which run through this northern peninsula. â€" And in regard to the travelling public, the advantages offerâ€" ad by connection with the Grand Trunk are still greater. The history of railway agitation in the county of G12y does not reâ€" flect any credit upon the G. W. R. Coy., but the opposite, Not quite ten years ago that Compiry, or rather the W. G. & B. Railway Coy., by very specious promises succeeded in diverting the building of the T. G, & B. Ry. from the Garafraxa road to the T. & S. road, thereby inflicting an inâ€" jury upon the trade prospects of the town of Durham which will not be repaired in the lifeâ€"time of the present or next generaâ€" tion. _ It is an old saying that corporations have no consciences, and perhaps this ho‘!ds true, specially of railway companies. That it does hold true of the G. W, R. corâ€" poration, orâ€"rather of its youngest offsho01, the W. G. & B. K., is abundantly manifest, The anxiety af the people of Durham and its neighbor hood to secure railway connece tion with the outer world has led them to suppose that they command the situation, and having us at their mercy, can dictate what terms they please, But in this they perhaps have counted without their host, The Grand Trunk scheme to which we have referred is in a fair way of being placâ€" ed upon a sound financial basis, s@that in afew days such arrangements may be deâ€" finitely concluded as will give us railway connection on easy terms and possessing superior advantages to any that could be offered by the G.

G. & B. R. R., about twentyâ€"eight miles south of Owen Sounrd, and is the market town for a section of country about as large as Dereham and the half of the two Norwiches, dividing them north and south. It has several general itores, one regular hardware store, a sash and blind factory, tinshop, bakery, drug store, two churches, an Orange Hail, three taverns, and another in the course of erection, a liquor store, and three public schools. It has suffered severely from fires this spring but is fast rebuilding, and numâ€" bers about 700 inhabitants. One store emâ€" ploys seven clerks, and though it is not the husy season they all seem to be doing well. The country around is new as yet, but is fast developing into a fine farming country. To the west it is gravely,and is not so good as to the east. Though there are many stones the soil is good, and is grandly rollâ€" ing, with some lofty hills.

Mr. Stoddart hid ween living here for about twelve years and during that time had been a usaful citizen to the town, having been seston to Trinity Church, and caretaker of the Pubâ€" lic School for a number of years previous to his death, The funeral took place on Saturday last and was largely attended. Previous to his residence in Durham, the deceased lived in the County of Simcoe, near Batrie, we understand, for nearly fifty years. We haveo also to tesord, with regrel, the death of Mr. 8. E. Legate, who died on Monday last, one of the oldest and most widely known residents of Durham. Mr. Legate eame to this place about 28 years ago, from the County of Wicklow, Ireland, and for some time had charge of the Edge ‘ Mills. For a number of years he was enâ€" gaged in the merchantile business and built the stone store at present owned and occupied by Mr. George Russell. For a number of years past the deceased occupiâ€" ed the position of Secretary of the South Grey Agricultural Society, which office he held up to the time of his death. He was Conservative in pol:ties and an active sup porter of his Party, but was of a very friendâ€" ly disposition to those who differed from llzisg views. â€" Having come to Durham when it was in its infancy he always took akeen interest in anything that was for the beneâ€" fit of the town. He was a noted floricul turist, and had a very fine display of greenâ€" house plants in bloom nearly all winter, and was at much trouble ia looking after them. The deceased leaves a wife,to lament his loss. The funcral, which took place yesâ€" terday, was one of the largest that has taken place in this town, the remains beâ€" ing taken to the English Church Cemetry. Last Thursday night Thomas Cronkhite‘s woollen factory, known as the Durham Woollen Mills, Orono, with the contents was completely destroyed by fire. As the wind was blowing strong, ii was only by the most strenuous efforts of the people that it was not communicated to other buildings, The contents of at least a dozen dwellings were carried out and conâ€" siderably damaged, particularly the dwellâ€" ing and failor‘s shop of Andrew Know, which suffered severely, and had the flames not been subdued here, the greatest part of the village must have been swept away. The origin of the firs is unknown. Cronkâ€" hite‘s loss is estrmated at about $12,000, with only $2,000 insurance, 1 The house of Wm. Funnell, near Morâ€" ven, was recently entered in daylight by a thief. Mrs. Funnell was upstairs making the beds, and the rgbber took from a chest a gold chain, a watch, and $8. As she deâ€" scended the thief was outside the door,and turned round with the watch in his hand. She hurried to the chest and took a revolâ€" ver and confronted the robber, demanded the watch,or she would put a little eylinder of daylight in his person. He dropped his spoil and ran away, Samuel Wilson, a farmer of Garafraxa, was killed on Tuesday by lightning while leading his horse to the barn. His man, who was close by, was badly stunned. Mr. Wilson leayos a large family. Those who have enjoyed the society of the deceased, in the unreservea freedom of the domestic cirele; who have witnessed her uniform kindâ€"heartedness, and frosh and joyous disposition, . as life goes on, will not fail to perpetuate her meâ€" mory ; while the remembrance of her blameless, happy life will serve to illumme and sanctify the hearts of her surviving friends. There :s a voiee from the tomb swoeter than song; there is a remembrance of the dead to which we turn even from the charms of the living. Every kind look, every gracious word, every gentle action, come througing back upon the memory to tenderly console and sanctify the broken spirit. _ At such a time we turn aside from present pleasures, we disengage ourselves from the bustling world around as, and eall to mind the solemn mementocs of the past Human nature is thus made up of tanderâ€" ness and affection ; setting forth, ever and anon the beautiful sentiment uttered by Sir Walter Scott in these words :â€" "Bome feejings are to mortals given With }ess of earth in them than Heavon."
