Durha-mâ€", September 8, 1881. â€"After much and anxious eonsultation, President Garficld has been removed fmm‘ the White House to Long Branch on the seside in the State of New Jersey. The reasou for this step was the prevalerite of malaria, aFoumd the White House, and the sonsequent imjurions effects upou the paâ€" tient. The discomforts of the joarney were well borne, and at latest advices no,change for the worse had occurred.

As might be expected, the Torontonians have made elabâ€" orate preparations for the reception of vistâ€" tors aud exhibitors, and there is every proability of this great Fair being snâ€" perior to that of Inast year, Among the enriocitics of the exhibition is an electric elock, the invention of F. F. Cordray of Ohi~. The clock stands fourteen feet high, is eight feet wide and weighs 5000 lbs. The electric current is generated by w powertui battery placed on the base of the clock, and so aceurately adjusted that tho movements are perfectly regular. Beâ€" sides indicating the time of day, it also shows the phases of the moon‘s age, the movements of the earth and sea and moon, tides and seaÂ¥ons, and many other interesting astronomical facts.

Anderson, seconded by James Burnet, That one hundred dollars be graited out of the general funds of the ‘fown to assist in grading and gravelling on Chester street and Bruce Street. Mr. Auderson, in moving the motion, | said that this grant ought to be made in all fairness to the North Ward. During the past two years over $700 has been expendâ€" ed or appropriated out of the general fands of the Town, in the West and East Wirds, and ouly $50 out of the same durâ€" ing the ‘same time to the North Ward, while at the same time the North Ward paid a far larger amount of taxes than either of the other Wards. Mr, Burnet stated that the streets now being opened up were of great hbenefit to the whole Town, and while they asked only §100 from the Town, the ratepayers of the North Ward had contributed §220 out of their own pockets, besides $100 appropriâ€" ated out of the statute labor funds of the North Ward. Although they had voted this motion down last regular meeting, yet it was unfair to do so, Mr. John Robertson said that the road was needed, and opened out & portion of of the Town that would soon be built up, and if the Council did not make this grant it would show that they were not willing to do what was fair to the North Ward, and he should consider they were unfairly delt with. â€" Of course he knew that by the East and West Wards combining together they could vote down any motion made by the members of the North Ward, but such proceedings on the part of East and West Ward Counciliors was not creditable to them. * Mr. . McKechnie said he acknowledgâ€" old that the road opened out a large portion of the Town, which would not otherwise be built up, at the same time there was a standing resolution of the Council that no grants should be made out of the genâ€" eral funds except on Garafraxa . street, Lambton street and the Durham Road, Mr. J. Brown said that before the work was let of making these roads, they should have petitioned the Council for the grant and showed that it was necessary. He did not consider that it was necessary, as it was not a leading road. Mi Durnet said that the resolution in regard to monéy taken from the general funds had already been set aside in a grant to Bruce and Saddler streets. The motion was then put, Messrs. Andâ€" erson, Burnet and Robertson voting for â€"it, aidl Messrs. MeKechnie, Brown, Bull and Storey against it. Moved by W. A. Anderson, seconded Dy H. Storey, That the report of the Finance Committe be receivel and addopted and cleques issued for the same.â€"Carried.

The constant passing of trains gives a wonderfal air of business to the village, but when trains garrying iron and ties pass through on Sunday with an immense amâ€" mount of whistling angd puffing we think it ratber much of the good thing. Some years ago a certain farmer near Elmwood was forcibly prevented from moviog a stack of grain which was spoiling from rain on Sunday. .

How far it extended we have been unable to learu as yet, but from what we do know, it must have exâ€" tended over many thousands of square wmiles of countgy..

The streets and buildings wore an orange tint: in fact. noarly everything looked as thonugh viewed through an orange glass, The gas was now lit, and instead of its usual yellow,. burned. a bluish whiteâ€"almost as . while as the elecâ€" trie light. As sunset approached the orange hue decpened on city and sky alike, and the streets were filled with an interâ€" ested population gazingâ€"at the strange, weird glory of the scene, and indulging in all sorts of speculationsâ€"some of them terrifyingâ€"â€"as to the cause of the unwont ed spectacle. â€" Bush ‘fires were held reâ€" sponsible by some. Others said it was an eclipse. Omngcmen jocularly declared it as an Orange display a little late in the nesson, and thonsands took a more serions view, and predictions of Mother Shipton‘s prophecy that "The world to an end shall come In eighteen bundred and eightyâ€"one," _ mingled strangely with Grimmer‘s terrible {:redictions, and produced a dread in the réasts of thousands that the end of the world WÂ¥ad come.
