The result of the election in West Northumberland shows that the Con- servntives have no reason whatever to doubt a grand and sweeping victory at the general elections. West Northum- berland gave the Reformers a splendid chance to prove that the people had lost confidence in the Government, but they failed to do it, and after a hard fight {or several days, the election on Monday last, showedamajority for the Conâ€"‘ servative candidate of 68 votes. In 1874 the Reformers carried the riding by 231 votes. and in 1878 the Conservative majority was 88. Every possible effort was made by the Opposition to carry the election on Monday. They well know what a good influence it would have for the party if a Reformer was elected, and Blake stumped the riding, and delivered a number of eloquent ad- dresses. His speeches were good ones, and one is almost inclined to believe that the people must be convinced by his remarks. There seems to be a manly, spirited and patriotic ring about the language he uses, but his past experience and the prosperous state of the country is against him. It‘s Reform Governâ€" ment was returned in ’83 they could not repidiate the contract with the Syndi- cate, without checking the progress of the North-West, and losing millions of dollars t tho-'(EOuntry-; they. could not abolis he National Policy, or make any natio» sages in the tarifl‘, so what is the use condemning these acts. The electors scythat the return of a Reformer would not tend to benefit the country any, that ‘there is no change which could be made that would im- prove the state of trade. or the settle- ment of the great Northâ€"West, and therefore Blake’s earnest appeals ap- parently are without any effect. The Beformers may just as 'well make up their minds that they are not going to succeed in ’83, on either the N. P. or the Syndicate cry, they Will not even hold their own. The indications are that the Conservative party will be even stronger than in ’83. It’s hard for them to realize, but its true all the same.

A committee will call at the different: houses in the vill- age on Saturday morning. for curiosities, but those who can send their articles to the hall, will confer a great. favor on the Com- mittee, as there is a great amount ot work to do. The Directors of the Instttute guarantee that every article will be handled carefully, and returned safely. There are many persons who have volunteered to send in articles without beingr canvassed, and as it will be almost impossible to canvass all, the commtttee hope that any who may not be visited wrll send word to the officers, or leave their articles at the hall. In either case they will be entitiled to the hearty thanks and lasting gratitude of the Direct- ors.

A public Meeting was held last night in the Orange Hull,for the purpose of discussing matters in regard to our newly incorporated village, and naming men to form our Council,which will be nominated next Monday. Mr. John Abell was called to the chair by a. unanimous vote, and Mr. C. J. Agar appointed Secretary. The hall was packed to the doors. The chairman opened the meeting by saying great care should be taken in forming the new Council, and men should be put in who will be economical in all business en- trusted to them by the electors. Mr. N. C.Wallace M. P , spoke at considerable length about the future welfare of our villmze, and wound up by inviting those who had alreadv formed a.

We are pretty well fixed for Fire protection, and that question must take a rest now. We believe all the old Council will stand, and there will likely be one or two new names, but we have not. heard any- thing definite. It is said Dr J.

There are some new names mentioned for the Council, a- inongst others that of Mr H Dewsbury. If there is any change made in the present Council, it will not be through their un- popularity. or because the electors are con- vtnced that other men would manage our village interests more carefully and advan- tugeouuly. but chiefly throu 3h a desire that sometimes influgnces public opinion, at elections, for a little change,â€"-to give new men a chance of having Municrpal Honors.

Rupert, of this village. found that his wallet, containing 3100 in Bank Bills, about the same in promissory notes, and some private letlers, was missing from the hip pocket, in his pants, where he had been accustomed to carry it. On searching through the house, he found the doors unlocked, and some standing ajnr. As they were not left in this poeitiou when he retired for the night, it is evident that some one must have entered the house. Mr Rupert was immediately convinced that a robbery had been comâ€" mitted, but to make certain that the wallet was not, mislaid or dropped. searched around the house, stable and yard, where he had been the previous evening attending tovhis horses, after he had placed the wallet in his pocket. The search resultedas he expected,â€" unsuccesst‘ully. He then advertised by bills, that. the wallet was either lost or stolen, offering a reward for its return, and threatening prosecution if' it was found in the possession of any one. No tracerhas yet been/obtained of either the wallet, notes or letters. The loss is a serious one, and the robber must be an uncommonly bold scoundrel, to go through a house, enter a bed room,where a lamp was burni , «and quietly reâ€" move a pocket boo from the owner’s pants.

The Vaughan Plowmnn’s Association met on Saturday evening last, at the Palmer House. and settled up the business for the year, which appeared to be very favorable. After the business was trans- acted, Mr Palmer invited the member: and officers to an Oyster Supper, which was served in elegant style. Speeches were made by the President. Mr John Lahmer, Mr John Campbell. Vice. Hr Wm Robin-- son, See, and Mr Jamel McNeil, Trees. Mr Leeds Richardson. Auditor. It was a grand afi‘eir, if the reports of all who were there, are correct, and we believe they are. Mr Palmer is making many warm friends. He is getting to be favorably known. and Ippeara to be cut out for a genial lenulord. A little boy, son of Mr Wilson, on the 3rd Con. of Vaughan, was leading a horse to water on 'iuesday, another boy struck the animal, and it kicked the lad in the face. hurting his cheek badly.
