NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" A 625,000 fire ocotured in a grain :: store in Brooklyn last iteek. â€" ^Listowel is inviting tenders for lighting the town by electric light. â€" Hamilton will give Lord and Lady Stanley a grand reception next week. â€"The Winnipeg market building -was burned on Wednesday of last week loss $80,000. â€" Miss Macdonald, sister of the Premier, died at Kingston on Sunday iast. She was 70 years of age. â€" The Dominion Government have raised the export duty on pine logs ::from $2 to $3 per thousand. â€" Senator Palmer, of Michigan, says that the manifest destiny of Can- ada and the United States is political, not Commercial Union. eYer have hop«d to do with Mr. Gleve- lahd's. There is this at any rate to be considered, and it'is so far well, that the likehhoods are there will be no farther talk of enforcing Betaliation against us. But here again no one can speak positively without more accurate knowledge than any cne out- side of the very small ofBicial circle in Washington can possibly possess. There is no saying what a Bepublican administration may think the exigen- cies of national dignity require. All that Canadians can do m tbe mean- time is to hope that things will torn out well for the maintenance of the most friendly relations between the two neighbours, that all causes of friction will be removed, and that "peace with honour" will unceasingly prevail. DISTBICT DOINGS. â-²H INTSBESTINO SUUKABT TZOU OUR XXCHAMOX8 iND OTHEBWISS, PABA- OBAPHED rOBflTANDABD BBADEBS. fori â€" It is a Singular fact that despite the abandonment of the policy ot as- sisted passages by the Dominion Gov- ernment, the volume of immigration to Canada has increased considerably. The arrivals for the ten months of the year were 146,607, an increase of 18,347 over those for the same period ^last year. â€" President Cleveland is still in the 'prime of life. He will leave the White House at least $75,000 richer than when he entered it. This, added to his other investments, ought to give him a comfortable fortune of upwards "of 1200,000. Mrs. Cleveland through the division of the Fblscm estate in Omaha, is heiress in her own right and is probably worth not less than $500,000. â€" A Yankee girl has secured a wealthy Englishman for a husband, and the press of the United States •cackles over the event like a pullet over her first egg. It is true tha! Mr. Chamberlain is a widower with a fam- ily of grown children but then he writes "Honorable" before his name. The people of the United States are nothing if not democratic. â€"The "Mail" still keeps pegging away at the French Canadians and ultra moatanism and draws a very .gloomy pictnreof tbe future of Canada when the Eoman Catholic element gets the upper hand, not only in Quebec, but in all the other Provinces. In Ontario, it seems that in a short time the French Canadians will have six or â- eight representarives in the Local Government, and that they will then insist upon one of their number being â-  in the ministry, and French being made an official language, with all which implies. It would be in every way to be deplored, should all this take place. But how the national in- crease ot a prolific people is to be pre- vented is not easily seen. That the French will eyer gain the upper hand in Canada is not likely, but if they do, the blame will be, not with them, but with the careless and indifferent Protestants. â€" The United States election strng- • gle resulted in a complete victory for the Republican party, which thus re- sumes the power which, until four years ago, it had held uninterruptedly for a quarter of a century. It is not likely that the change from Democratic 10 Republican administration will make any difference so far as Canada is concerned. Possibly, it may ren- der the prospects of freer trade rela- tions between the two conntiies less promising, as the R^ublican party is more deeply pledged to thft^mainten- aneeof a high prota^ve poficy. But ' etvett this cannot be Assected dogma^ •cally. It may corn oat that C'aoada ,^j «ilVbe able to make mwe^Mtiafiwstoty Wiarton cuilers have organized the. season. ' Orangeyille'.:! electric lights coiA 18 cents each pei night. Burglars have been prospecting in Dundalk, without "striking oil" how- ever. Toronto is to kave a new hotel, on Queen Street, near Yonge, to cost $100,000. The last local mail boat for the season left Owen Sound last week for points up the lakes. David Little, merchant tailor of Mitchell, dropped dead of heart dis- ease on Saturday last. Thompson's saw mill and lath factory at Teeswater was burned on Friday night. Loss $6,000 In- surance $1,000. A Seaforth barber named Hodgins, suspected of incendiarism, has been tracked by Government dectives and will be examined shortly. Hanover foundry has changed hands and a eash and door factory will be run in connection therewith. Disney Devhn Co., are the new proprietors. Judge Macpherson recently drove from Owen Sound to Meaford on bus- iness, and was so disgusted with the state of the roads that he returned yia Toronto. Mr. Hood, merchant of Creemore, and Mr. Heasley, his foreman, have been the recipients of a presentation and address each at the hands of ciiizens of that village. The Chesley Enterprise has been enlarged and is up with its neighbors generally. We congraulate its editor, Mr. A. W. Robb, on this sign of pro- sperity BO soon after rising out of the ashes. Ou.e John Aikey, after getting as drunk as the money he had would alloWj deliberately mixed five grains of Strychnine in whiskey, drank the compound and died last Thursday at Newmarket. At a threshing out at J. Dalgleish's, Bentinck, the other day a horse be- longing to Mr. Alex. McCormick got its tail Caught on the spindle, and i wound up, so tightly that there was ' danger of it being puUed out by the root. The owner of the thresher how- ever didn't sympathise with the horse and was more annoyed about a knuckle on the spindle being broken. â€" Grey Review. A bear owned by one J. Piatt, of Parkdale, got loose last Sunday night and nearly killed a man named John Shaw. Two policemen and several firemen arrived on the scene in time to saye Shaw. They fired eight ire- volver shots into bruin, and then had to spUt the infuriated animal's head open with an axe in order to end his persistent treachery. POWDER Absolutely P|ire.
