THE REVIEW. «â€"â€"It is ramonred abroad , that ‘Siz John will, at the close of the appronching session. of the Dominion Parliament dissoive the HMouse and appeal to the counutry. . KHowâ€" ever, the Hamilton BSpectator, a. devoted ."uh; of Sir John and his friends, says that if an appeal has been determined{upon, 1# has no knowledge of any such purpose. ‘This must of gourse be received as aut(h'b;- ea, whether he will rule within the limits of the Constitution, or use the Republic a# a meore instrument in the exercise of an irâ€" responmible personal rule. The question is â€"of great importance to France ard Enrope was well, for peraonal rule in Fauce in the n it it e e â€"â€"Step by step the Syndicate is making known to the world the spirit it is of. Not Jong ago announcement was made that the Syudicate farm lands would be sold at two .dollars and a half an acre, with a further rebate of one dollar and a quarter for every acre brought into eultivation within atafive.. Indeed it would be an estraordinâ€" ary thing if any such step was taken at the present time. . As a politician Sis John A. MeDouald bas a wellâ€"earned repuiation for astuteness, aund he would scarcely risk the chanee of a defeat, at the polls where there is every probability of his retaining oiflce undisturbed fortwo years more. four years. Meanwhile, the adjacent Govâ€" ernment lands along the railway were bought up by private individuals, joint stock Companies and speculators, and in eonsequence, a rush was made for the Synâ€" dicate lands. Now came the Syudicate‘s â€"opportunity. It could not, so soon after. the price of lands was fixed, rescind the. order and raise the price, but conditions were attached to the purchase which effect. wally barred the door against nineâ€"tenths of the settlers seeking lands in the Northâ€" West, the conditions being : that buiidings be erected satisfictory to the Syndicate, 4bat oneâ€"half the land be broken up and eropped within four years, and that the payments of principal and interest on the purehase money be kept up, otherwise, the land reverts to the Syndicate without any â€"â€"For some years M. Gambetta has been known to be the power behind the throne in Republican France. At the recent elsc tions his party carried the day by a large mamjority, and now he has accepted office as Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs. KEver since the Francoâ€"German War N. Gambetts has lived in the heart of the Freuch people, and has been regarded as the ‘eommg man,‘ . Now that he bolds the reins of power, and enjoys the unlimited eonfidence of the people theâ€"question arisâ€" M bas .l&l’l led & i + po!le f io I to y 0 national legalprocess. As very fow settlers will have #he capital required to warrant them in un â€" dertaking any such obligations, the Syndiâ€" eate lands will be allowed to remain in the hands of the Compauy, when in the course of a fow months,a new order will be issued fring the" price of Syndicate lands at five to ten dollars an acre with some relaxation dn ‘the Canadian prairie. of ibe conditions of purchase. When it is ramembered that the Syndieate owns a large proportion of all the valuable luaud in the North Wost it will: be at once observed what an iron despotism is being erected â€"â€"The correspondent of the Gloke han! teaclied Ireland and has commenced his | investigations into the work of the Land League, and the working of the Land Act. (The Land Leagus it seems is still alive, though nuder a clond and afraid of the terrors of tho law. _ Its leaders sver_} their intention of carrying on the agitation agninst rents, &c, secretly, and of boyâ€"cottâ€" ing all those who are disposed to be law abiding citizensâ€"that is to say, if they can do so without putting themselves in danger ot being cast into prison. Thus a comâ€" mendable tincture of diseretion permeates the valour of these fine wouther patriots. Meanwhile, the Land Act Comimissiners arse going on with their work vigorously .. Bo far upwards of 45,000 appliontions for reduction of reat have bean raade to the Court, and in nearly all eases reductions hate been made; in some the reduction has heen very large. There is ao question wot that ysaoy of the landlorde, especially ‘thie atpaller oned, will suffer by this wholeâ€" eale reduction of rent. But »o seform of that even the high reuts to forse in the past, have been nearly. absorbed by the interess on:the money borrowesl, wnusl ‘tu eash sases where the rents are reduced hardship must ensos. .

But by such measures the confinesofthe evil are barely touched. That permatient good uray beâ€"mecomplished,parâ€" ents imust look nbre closely after thoir childâ€" ren, the usoral sense must be awakened, and theso wayward young men brought to see the true goal to which such vicions babits inâ€" evitably lead. Every now andâ€"again we hear complaints of young meu having nothing to do, of ‘allthe avenuesto wealth and fame being closed, of there being no good situations open, aud of the difficulty of securing the coveted place when it‘ is open. ‘There is no donbt a great deal "of truth in all this. ‘The professions are unâ€" doubtedly overâ€"crowded and many»trad are suffering from the same cause. Tow many young men unfortunately io this day shirk honest labour, and consider it a degâ€" radaticn to earu their bread ‘ by the #weat of the brow, in the literal asceptation of the term , and henea it is, that the gush isâ€" so great for "vacant sitnations," â€" «But when the situation is Oltained, or the business perhaps secured, it is then, too often, that the line of Mxsipation 1s entered apon, that ‘ drinking and gambling form the reereations of the long winter evenings, and that the fond hopes of parents are dashed to the groind by the waywardness of their eluldran, Tius is no fancifal pictare. It is an everyâ€"day . occurrance. _ Failure in business and loss of sitnations inevitably follow the beer shop and the gambling table. â€" They stand in the relation of canse and effect. .And when the crash does come, it is attributed to keen competition, overâ€" growded state of the business, or some othâ€" er cartse equally far removed from. the true one. Jt never strikes these young men who lose their sitnations, or who, barely succeed in their bnisness,that the fault lies wmaiuly with themselves, nor does it ever occur to them that their employers on the ane hand, or those with . whom they may have business relations on the other,can ue verhbave any confidence in young men who give themselves up to unlimited cards and whiskey cocktails. Recreation is a very good thing, a very necessary clemont in the life of young and old, butâ€"nos :one will eontead that indulgence in habits of deâ€" bauchery have the merit of recreation. l'l‘hey simply debaso the whole charseter and unfit for the transaction of avy. busiâ€" lnoss,or for duing auny work, however, simâ€" ple it may be, as it ought to be done. â€" The young man who, with his eyes open, al lows vicious babits to interfere with his business, or with the services which he should render to his employer, is doing a «tupid and an unworthy thing, but if misforâ€" tunes do coree, as they inevitably will in such a case, let these young men attribute thewm to the true cause. Mcoovy.â€"There is no doubt Durham has some singu!ar ¢haracteristics, and none more so, perhaps, when the age and. push of the place are takem into consideration, than the wretched state of most of its streets in muddy weather, and.the disconnection and exclusiveness of ityâ€"muddy sidewalks, Why, Dundalk, wliich shad. no existence uine years ago can borgR a sidewalk to alâ€" most every ratepayer‘sedoor already, Durâ€" ham, incorporated as a Town of mne years stauding, is divided into three Wards, but lu far as connection with each other by means of the necessary links in the sideâ€" walk, save in one caÂ¥e, such a thing has never been tolerated. ~For instance, the West Ward is bound on the east by Garaâ€" fraxa streetâ€"the main business thoroughâ€" ‘fano“bo'rovnâ€"andtbo same wtreet is the western Loundary of the East Ward, and although: theré ara cousiderable stretchâ€" es of silewulk on cach side of the street, yet, as we heard ¥éh:arked the other Edlay, the nearest ervssing on Garafraza on the North side of Latnbton street is at Chat«â€" worth, nineteen miles distant, and south of Lawmbton street at Mount Forestâ€"Six« toen miles.

The estabâ€" lishment of the proposed .route is very deâ€" mrable and would moet with general apâ€" proval, as a large quantity of mal matter passes between the points indicated, but under the prosent arrangement has to take a very cizcuitous route, involving both deâ€" lay and expeuse. A leiter from there to Besboro, Peabody, or Marmion,foriugtance has . to go all, the. way round. by Owen ‘[s.sun(] ard Kilsyth, imvolving a delay of nearly a week before an answer can be had ’ whereas by the proposed route an answer could be had the following day, whilsb mail waiter from Ower Sonud by coming, this way, would reach these points much more speedity apd regnlarly than it does at pre, seut. A stage botween thore and Chesley could also be .run in connection with the mail carrying, faking in the points wmenâ€" tioned, and.would no doubt be well patronâ€" ized. The propesed route would no donkht be the most convenient for the section of the couutry intere«ted, as well as the most economical for the Government. _ Mr. Mi«daugh, of Durham, is sperking of runâ€" ning a stage line betweeu that point and frwen Sounrd.

In so doing, by a sleightâ€"ofâ€"hand, he immannged to extract the box with the ten dollars,â€"and then allowed a person to bave a draw fpon paying $8,with n chance, as he said, jof \mking $10.~~The sharper had imaie: $12 mside of ten..amiuntes, when a politema® eame round nnd the fellow :made himself scarce. ‘Theâ€" men who were "tuken in" felt about as sheap as they possibly could have done, for they considered themselves too shrewd to be victimized so easily.â€" Guelph Meroury. | "The directors of the Saungeen Valley have decided to ask tor aâ€"renewal of the charter for five years,/and for power to extend to the lake to corinect witis any railway which way "be desired.

The oyerativers, who inclade s large nuniber of femalss, escaped uwbort, A strong southâ€"westoerly Wind was blowâ€" ing, and the main building, being prineiâ€"| ‘pu‘.ly of wood, was in a short time vhnlh" consumed.. As there were no appliances ;with which to fight the flames in the vil~1 }hgn, teleprams ware sant to Thorold and St. Catharines for assistance, which was promptly feplied to, each place sending a steamer. They, however, arrived too late: to be of much service. . The storehouse, containing manafactured rtook, was sepâ€" !urn(od from the wonin building, and was lanved. The canse is snpposed to bar» beon from over heating. During the whole season the mills hav6 been very busy, runâ€" ning at their full capasity.
