He was riding with his twin brother George, aged seven years, on a stone-boa.t,his father was driving,when the boat came in contact with astump,a.nd he ` had his left thigh bone broken in two places and his knee-cap knocked out of joint.

A Rons1NdTxMs.-Satnrday of last weelr was an exciting day in Midland, and culmi- . nated in thearrest of the Chief Constable followed by that of the acting assignee of the -estate of Hall &_ Oonnell, _who failed here recently; An attempt was made to ar- . rest an" individual known as James Bush, but he was allowed to go. The circum- stances which induced to such acaptnre are these. About a. month ago Hall & Connell, made an assignment for the benet of their creditors in trust to E. C. Clarkson, of Toronto, and J. W. Strachan, was sent to take charge of the estate which _np to his arrival had been looked after -by John Brawor J other things seized under the assignment, wasaspan of horses which Bush had at; one of the Town constables. Among ~ tained possession `of before the estate was vested in the assignee, and had at work at Old, Fort, some`-three miles from Town.. The team were advertised to be sold by `auction and Brawer, as auctioneer opened _the sale on` Saturday._ Quite a crowd had gathered as a report obtained that Bush was likely to cause some fun. Brawer how- ever, stationed himself on the platform of the Queen's` Hotel while Strachan, was standing close` beside him. N o sooner had Brawer, commenced the sale than constable Hicks stepped up andelaying one hand on Brawer's shoulder and the other on Strach- an, in stentorian voice proclaimed You are my prisoners. The sale was then ad- I I jonrned siuedie. Bush then rushed for the horses which he attempted to obtain by force but was prevented by the crowd from doing so, still he retained his hold of the lines until he entered the Qneen s Hotel yard when he was assisted out bv the pro- prietor. Brawer, who amonzr the excite- ment had been let go by the constable, at once arrested Bush. for creating a. disturb- ance on the street in contravention of the Town By-law'but was obliged to abandon I the arrest as he himself was a prisoner.` I A Both Brawer and Strachan, were taken to` the Police Cort where it was ascertained ` that an information had been laid by Bush ; charging the prisoners with obtaining goods I under false pretence. The information had I been prepared by Bush's Solicitor in Barrie I and was in blank to be sworn to by who- ever could do so; One Smith Choate who I had the custody of the -horses when they [ were seized refused to lay the information I and it was subsequently laid as above. - The prisoners were admitted to bail to appear on \Vednesda.v and mi that rim: Hm r-nan 1 I 1 1 4 1 }_u`La"I1|t:ru were numlueu E0 mm to appear Wednesday and on that day the case wasldismissed.

' ' Where an administration is extravagant and wasteful of public money, it will gen- = erally he in what is known as the coxitro1l- ' able expenditure, that is, in that expendi- ' ture that can be increased or decreased at will. In a country like Canada the con- ! trollablo expenditure must gradually in- ` [ crease as the country becomes more thickly populated, and the areas of trade expand. But that increase can be made with an eye J to economy, or it can be lavished reckless- ly and with disregard to the public trust. Acomparison of this .expen_diture_ under Reform and Conservative rule will estab- lish beyond cavail which party has been extravagant and which economical. ' Such comparisonis attempted inthe sheet above - referred too, purporting to have been taken from page 1.8 of the. fublic Accounts. This com arisen, as might be expected from t 9 character its sponsors", is decidedly untrustwor- thy. No such gures are to be found on page 18 of` the Public Accounts ; the comparison is unfair in almost every par- ticular, and the figures are many of them incorrect.

The increase under Conserva- tive rule resulted from a legitimate increase of trade and population. Yet the increase under the Mackenzie Administration more than doubles that under the Administration of Sir J.ohn.A. Macdonald. In the one in- stanceit was $31,673,540; in the other it was $604,909, a difierence of $1,068,631. The Reform Party have always posed as the party of economy and retrenchment. Thev always have, and are now, promising a reduction in the expenditure. Now, when they are aspiring for office, it is time for them to come down from asse'rtim1 and allegation to hard facts. The above re- cords show that their etforts in the direc- tion nf retrenchment prm'e(l a disastrous failure ; and yet they have the hardihood to-appeal tn" the people on the score of economy. This first shot has proven that a portioneat least of their ammunition is worthless, that the recoil is intinitively more dangerous thanthe discharge. In future numbers we will show that the bal- ance of the charges made in the same document are as worthless as the one we have just dealt with.
