'Grittlsm on its last Legs in South Victoria. Ere this reaches our readers the dailies Will have informed them that C. 8. od, County Glotky Coduty Treasurer, Official Assignee, Agent for everything in~which ho can get hib finger, M. P. P. for South Vietor- ia, and general candidate for every office in which there is money, was elocted * on Tuesday last over Mr Tudspeth. by a majority of some 74 or less, one half of whom there can be no moral doubt are not worth the paper on' which they marked their crogs--ibe Catholic vote secured Mr Wood's retuin. Uptill Saturday night the majority was in favor of Mr Hudspeth but the Sun- * day's devotions turned the scale, of course the priests would not desec-- oSabbathiby talking politicsbut the faithful bad ehangod their mind by Monday moriing and went Grit witha vengence not by any means from any mercenary motive, O no! fout' from disinterested patriotism, pure love of Gritrule; had Wood not been a mémber of the Government it would have been all the same they would have gone for him thoy néver court the favor of the powers that be and won't be swayed by priest or prebendary. From a majority of 300. while only a simple member--sitaple fenough, dear knows--to 8 majority of T4when .a Government back with all the in- terest sacred and profane, e~claesins- etioal and lay which conld be brought "to bear, tbe fall is alarming ; if such is not an absolute defeat 'then we would like to know what itis. Our advice to Casey is to look sharp and seeure for himself any stray office which be may not already hold, for his ppssession. of tho short-lived 'honors will be brief indeed--no lon- ger, in fact; than it will require to set the matter befors the courts, It is asserted by thoss who know that 'acts of bribery and corruption are bristling all over like the hairs on a cat's back} and: if Casey escapo conviction for' personal bribery he may thank his stars. If farther proof were wanted to show how thoroughly the present, Government and party are Jetested | 'we have only to point to the result of the past contest in South Victoria. In the tooth of Att.-Gen. Mowatt and all his backs ; the O'Donohoes, the Frazers, the Merrioks et hoc genus, only a paltry majority ot 74 could be bribed, bought, coaxed or frightened into supporting a minister while 3000f a majority returned the plain |& Casey. S---- More of that Abominable Group- The missive of Mr. J. N. Blake Pres, of 'the Lake Simcoo Junc- tion Railway: Co'y is mow being spread before the .guod people of Scolt accompanied withthe wholesome ' admonition that if they de not. come dewn with a round $10, 000 in aid of bis road he will apply the 'grouping clause!' screws and wring three times 2s 'much out of the obdurate ones. The name of that, 'abomipable grouping clause Bas only to be mentioned to make people point the finger of scorn at Sharp Se placed such a de- formity ie not th hart. ay of justice or . fair play abodtit.

If the township of Scott can be whipped in by any such lash' they are not made of thestuff we took them to be. ¢ LL trr---- The Munificent Goddess. At this particular season of the year full of promise and big with expectation in which ever direction ono turns his oyes he finds the lap of nature full and overflowing with gifts and rewards for the-toils of the husbandman, with food and eomfort for her numerous and diversified off spring. We admire the devotion of the intellectual Greek, who wishing to peer through the mist and gloom of theological darkness which then overshadowed the land introduced a theology which, if fanciful and dreamy, was simple and beautiful and showed tbat they wished to trace the gifts of nature up to na- ture's God. But the idea of an om~ niscient and omnipresent being was incomprehensible even to that ad- vanced land of intellectual light.-- They knew, however, that a great power rulled and governed all things but they could not grapple with the the idea of the several attributes of a god being concentrated in one being or at least they could not explain it to others and they taught that a sep- arate deity presided over every sep- arate jntorest ; if the object was gentle, beautiful, producing or yield: ing the presiding deity was regarded as feminine, a goddess had the charge ; so that Ceres was styled the goddess of®Agriculture, especially of | the grain crops, while Pomona was | ! rogarded as the goddess of fruits and | autumn generally. i Inarun through a large portion of Rrock ¢n Saturday last one could scarcoly tof which of the fabled godessemCeres, or Pomon?, i8 niost the waving crops ot golden streaked] grain bending over tho head ready to fall into the lap of Cores, present- ed themselves in every direction.-- The yield promises to be not only abundant but choice in quality while tho several descriptions of root crop promise a no less 'abundant yield and are hurrying on to maturity. The hay has already disappeared from the fields and the barley is be- ing harvested. We wondered as we gazed uponthemilesof gently waving grain what should have been done with it had there becn no reapers. On arriving at Sunderland we soon perceived how the IAnrvest HEeLrs were prized. Mr. Carmi- chael's Agricultural Implement Show Room was the centre of at- traction, farmers examining his splendid Reapers, Single and com- bined and those who knew them best and had used them most were loudest in their praise. Mr. Car- michael as an agricultural implement agent has done good service to tha farming interests of Brock. 'He has a thorough kneviedge of the pro- ties of the several machines and implements required on & farm and knows bow to use them all and will sell nothing but the best implements As a fair, honorable, reliable dealer be deserves theliberal and increasing patronage which he is receiving, but the first class machines and imple- ments with which he is "wiping his custoraers are his mendation. + SEm-------- Change of Proprietors.

The Grand Excursion and Pic-Nie {from Whitby and all intermediate Stations and Port Perry to Wash- burn Island under the auspices of the Port Perry Branch Encam p- ment of 1.0, O. F. takes place on Monday next, 16th Augt. From the general preparations and provisions being made for the ocea- sion this will undoubtedly be the Excursion of the Season where ev- erything tending to condace to the comfort and convenience of the ox- cursionists will be fully provided, -- An active and efficient committee have the management of the ar- rangements and they will see that everything is right. A steamerand two flat boats will convey the excur- sionists from Pert Perry to tha Ts- land. The committee extend a hearty and general invitation to all who wish a pleasant and agreeable time by land gnd water to come and take part in the Excursion. DParlies wishing a pleasant "hop" will find ample preparations in' way of con- venient apace, excellent music and an agreeable company gathered from the several parts of the county, Whitby, Oshawa und other places north. Parties disinclined to take part in the dance will find abundance of amusement and enjoyment provided qn board the steamer, and boats, and n 'he Island, RN ores Yo ocal and Iustiumental music and every thing necessary for the full enjoyment. Oddfellowship in all its grades be- ing essentially a charitable institu- tion deserves the countenance, re- spect and support, of our best men, aye, and women too. They have been at considerable expense in pro- viding a first class means of enjoy- ing a healthful, invigorating excur- sion and itis to be hoped that the public will show their Ta Drarative of the effort put forth by a grand turnout. The Granny's Entery rise. The enterprise of our 'Neddy" is past comprehension, as a grinner he is a perfect successs; of course he never coull write a sentence and we should hope nover pretended to, but he willingly gives his editorial "we" toany ass who will scribble for him, and no matter how trashy the stuff may be Neddy knows no better and will stick it in his rag with as broad a grin as if it were the production of one of our best writers. However, Neddy bas got into a box at last; even the most contemptible serib- blers have got ashamed of him and have refused all connection with him and now he bas been driven into accept of tho most contemptible thing in the province to do his serib bling for him. Thie insolent puppy under the recom: | ise of "Castor" has been making himself, if possible more ridiculous tban before. Though the thing's time is worth at least a th dollars an hour he is so profligate of it as to make an assof himself by | peribbling for Neddy merely for the "| aatinfaction of witnessing Neddy's magnificent grine. 1 We have before us a sample of fall | Bu wheat--the yield of the present year, grown by Mr. Thomas Brimicomb, on lot. 20 in the 10th con. of the | | be diffienlt to find a finer sample of | Ne wheat anywhere, plump, clean and | | bright.
