A Crisis at Ottawa. On Saturday last a sensation was created throughout the Dominion by the news that Sir C. H. Tupper, Min- ister ofJustice, Mr. Haggart, Minister of Railways and Canals, Mr. Ives, Min- ister of Trade and Commerce, Mr. Dickey, Minister of Militia, Dr. Mon- tague, Minister of Agriculture. Mr. Foster, Minister of Finance, and Mr. Wood, Controller of Customs, had all tendered their resignations to Sir Mac- kenzie Bowell, and the result is a crisis that is said to be without a. parallel in It has the political history of Canada. in the intention of going back again. stood up allowed to take his rent in profound l silence. i that Sir Mackenzie Bowell will probably l bow to the force of circumstances and Gazette. The South African Republic, though it has enjoyed self- gcvernmcut since 1884, owes a little more than nominal allegiance to Great Britain, and the Emperor William, in the plenitude of his conceit and stupid- ity, has intimated that if the Republic proclaims its independence he will take it under his protection; and England, in the plenitude of her indignation, says that the moment a decided step in that direction is taken she will declare war The latest statement is that the Miuietcrs who did not resign are in . strict accord with those who did, and Farmers’ Institute Meeting. We hope that all of our country readers will bear in mind that there is to be a meeting of the East Victoria Farmers’ Institute in Dickson‘s hall on Friday next. the 17th inst., and will make a special effort to be present, as the programmeâ€"of which some hun- dreds have been printed for circulation â€"is a good one, and never before have the people of this district had the op- portunity of listening to men of greater ability or higher standing in their re- spective callings than those who will then address them. Mr. McEwing, who is the chief of the delegation sent out by Superintendent Hodson, is a well known figure in the agricultural world, and has had lougexperiencc in Institute work. Mr. A. H. Pcttit is the well- known President of the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario, and an author- ity on all horticultural subjects. Mr. John Campbell. of Fairview farm.Wood- ville, is the owner of the gold medal given by the Agricultural and Arts Association for the best. managed form in this district, while he is perhaps betâ€" ter known as the leading breeder and exhibitor of Shropshire sheep in Amer- ica. Mr. J. H. Carnegie, M. P. P., of Indian Point farm, is known as a breed- er of thoroughbred stock, and also know a good thing in butter when he sees it, having for several years been engaged extensively in dairying. The other gentlemen whose names appear on the programme are so well known that comment here is unnecessary. A. mo- moment's reflection will convince any one that they are eminently qualified for the work assigned them. The even- ing session will open with a thirty minute instrumental concert, in which some nine or ten leading performers will take part. Most of the singers have not been heard here before, but their reputation is good, and no one should miss the opportunity of hearing them, as well as others who are better known and deservedly popular. A question box will be placed in a con- spicuous place, into which all are invited to drop slips of paper containing ques- tions on any subject in connection with agriculture. These slips will be taken out and read and answered at the open- ing of each session. Municipal Elections. The municipal elections were held throughout the Province on Monday last, and in this village passed off very quietly, as there is no question of any great importance at issue in the muni- cipality, and the weather was so cold that but very few persons were to be Seen at any time around the polling place, into which they were only ad- mitted singly. and hustled out again as soon as they had recorded their votes. It is very difficult. in Fcnelnn Falls, whatever it may be in other places, to predict, under ordinary circumstances, the result of an election ; and the fact that a man is Capable and honest is no guarantee that the “ free and indepen- dent ” will not bounce him in favor of some one not as good. Mr. Dickson, who has been several times reeve of the villagc,cccupicd that position last year; and, although at the nomination no shadow of a charge of any kind was brought against him, and although we frequently heard it stated during the following week that he was the best reeve we ever had, he was set aside for Mr. Ellis, for whom a great many vote because, as a mill owner, he is “ an employer of labor,” forgetting that he is under c. great a compliment to his hands as they are to him, for if they cannot live without work he cannot carry on his business without help. Last. year Mr. Martin was at the head of the poll for councillor, and Mr. Slater was a good second; but this year Mr. Martin, who has had considerable experience and is a very fair all-round man, received the fewest votes of any candidate who was elected, and Mr. Slater, who as an honest and zealous councillor certainly deserved a better fate, was left, in racing parlance, “ no- where." The figurcs were as follows : FOR BEEVE. CANDIDATE our. 1 nrv. 2 TOTAL Ellis, J. A. 59 62 121 Dickson, James 47 55 102 FOR COUNCILLOR. Mason, R.

A Useful Invention. Our townsman, Mr. W. H. Church, who has obtained patents for five or six different articles which have added more to his fame than to his fortune, has, we verily believe, at last hit upon one which will amply repay him for the lime and labor expended upon it. and all his pre- vious inventions. It. is only an im- proved dustpan, but as a dustpan is used almost every day in almost every household, the number sold annually is simply immense, and there ought to be a good deal of money in the one that possesses features that render it superior to all others. Mr. Church's improve- ment consists of n weeden handle about thirty inches long hinged to the dustpnu in such a manner that it. is held by a spring which prevents the hinge from working while the pan is in use; but. when the pan is hung up against a wall, the handle hangs down from it and is entirely out. of the way. The object of the invention is to do away with the necessity of stooping when dust is being swept from the door into the pun ; and the boon this will be to housekeepers â€"cspccially those who are old and obese â€"can be easily imagined. The pain was patented in Canada on the 22nd of last July, and Mr. Church has hopes of obtaining: a patent for it in the United» States. It; is lor sale at Mr. l'leul'd’s, Mr. Martin’s and one or two other stores in town, price 15 cents, and needs only to be seen to be appreciated. Like many other inventors, Mr. Church is cramped by want of capital and is forced to “go slow "; if he had the menus to sow his dustpaus broadcast over the whole Dominion, they would soon bring; him in more “dust” than his pockets would hold. On the evening of Saturday, Jan. 18th, three scenes in the life of a drun- kurd will be given in the barracks. This being a very solemn service, we trust that all who can attend will avail themselves of the opportunity. On January 25th, 26th and 27th Ensign Maltby will assist in three days special meetings. On Monday night, the 27th, there will be a rousing ban- quet and jubilee. Officers from sur- rounding corps will bc in attendance. No possible pains will be spared to make these meetings interesting and soul- bcnefiting. Come one, come all. Capt. J. Brokcnshire, who has been labouring in the eastern battle ground (his last station was Morrisburg), is home on account of sickness. He will soon be ' able to resume his duties, and we fully expect him along with his fiddle. The prochds of these entertainments will be used for the benefit of the residing oflicers, Captain and Mrs. Wynn. 0-. Personals. Mr. J. J. Nevison of Mindon drove to the Falls on Tuesday last and returned to-dny. Miss Agnes Dickson left on Monday to resume her studies at tho Collegiate Institute, Lindsay. Miss Kate Austin left last Friday to take charge of a school two or three miles from Kinmount. Mrs. Wm. Campbell left on Monday for a visit of about a fortnight to her relatives in the county of Two Moun- tains, 28 miles west of the city of Mr ntreal. ' Miss Amy Quibcll, who returned home last fall from Torouto, where she had been living for some considerable time, left the hulls for that city on Wednesday last. The C. P. R. Uar.
