The Times. ht naturally be expected t portion of the hard times their close, and they have 7 pressed fearfully hard for ouths-- we had almost said The pressure appeared to inerease and the scew to get another t almost every 'morning until tired ont and exhpusted--wo had al- most said disgusted-- business men "on the right hand and the left gave up the contest in dispair and in . many instances just when the break ers had been ncarly all passed.-- Like the shipwrecked marriner holding on to his plank fatigued and 'worried out, the sport ot the waves loses hope, lets go in dispair and is 10st jast as the land was about to Joom up in the hazy offing. And on the other hand the impatient and worried creditors have swept down on the struggling debtor and pulled away his last and only remaining prop, in.some instances just when the debtor ;was about }to regain his footing and redsem his standing.-- In the province of 'Ontario during the past week no fewer than twenty basiness establishments have gone tothe wall. Two of these were in Toronto, two in Ottawa, two in Barrie, three in St. Catharines ; the others scattered in ones 'throughout the province. That a relaxation of the fearfully hard times may now be lcoked for we think is obvious; but without a certain amount of bearance and forbearance just at this time the disaster may be .aggravated and many may be ship wrecked just within sight of land. -- But the greatest caution will be nec- essary on the part of both debtor and creditor to avoid unnecessary complications, the debtor must mar- ifest a fair and honest disposition to do right as far as possible and thus secure the confidence of the "creditor, for the least leaning towards trickery on thetpart of the debtor will .eertainly shake the confidence of 'the creditor and drive him to meas: ures which he would otherwise have avoided.

The Dunkin Act breathed its last in the city of Toronto, on Thursday, 23rd inst, amidst the deep lamen- tations of its friends. The OBsER- vER and a few other papers from an fhtimate knowledge of the climate of Toronto and the critical condition of Dunkin's health regarded his premature death as a certainty, and we wore not backward in warning his friends of his approaching death. But the city lights including the Globe and other false prophets de- clared that he was certain to live, but on Thursday last his unfavor- up all hope and let him die. and they killed him. the idea of his being killed. that the Dunkin by-law in a rather suspicious light. and who believed that the enforce- evil; but we have no patienco with nor sympathy for your trimming political trickstors as the Globe and its insignificant echoes.O Yes! they it would. With euch support how could any measure succeed ; some making a stepping stone of it to sa- cure political support while others take it up to secure the temperance men's quarters, declaring for victory while they admit that they knew that it would be defeated. Well, may Dunkin pray to be delivered from such frionds. --------- Civic Holiday. The town of Lindsay, as per proclamation, held their civie "holi- day on Tuesday last. A fair pro- portion--fair in quality as well as in quauntity--of the more active inhab- 'itants joined in a pleasure excursion to Niagara and return. Bright and early in the mornipg some eight or nine Grand Trunk passenger coaches were drawn up at the Lindsay sta- tion of the Whitby and Lindsay Railway. These were soon packed full with a gay and happy company anxious to set out on the inter- esting trip, and they had not long to wait ; for after 'a couple of infernal yells from the iron horse the whole eompany go thuuderingon towards the south, passing Port Perryona canter. These nine or ten comfort- able coaches contrasted favorably with the cow catchers which indays gone by were wont to be furnishedjto excursionists from these 'municipal- ities. In the sweet by-gone when the inhabitants of Reach whose con- handsome sum of forty thousand dol. lars--$30,000!given in way of bonus and $10,000 as good as stolen from | them being the portion which ought to have come to Reach from the 840,000--the better rms given by the Government--when these, we say wore supplied with an excursion train it consisted ofa lot of the most unsuitable cattle cars without even sitting accommodation. 6 people were promiscuously togothr able symptoms proved that he could {nt live and his best friends gave Some 2,947 said that he ought to live Lut 4,063 declared that he ebould die Dunkin's murderers gave him a public funeral the same evcning by torch light, and the city appeared greatly to rejoice at getting rid of him. But the most amusing feature in the whole affair is the unaccountable conduct of many of Dunkin's false friends, those who were largely though indirectly responsible for Dunkin's death, such as the Globe and ite numerous echoes, such as Luke & Larke's papers, the Oshawa Vindicator and Reformer and a host of others throughout the country, they roared themselves hoarse in the praises of Dunkin and hooted But now they turn round with all the plausibility of such time servers and declare that it was only what they anticipated, they did not ex- pect that the by-law would be car- jed. Of course they ought them- solves to know best what they did expect but if they did not expect would carry, their repeated assertions to the contrary, places their veracity We have the greatest respect for the honest advocates of the measure, men who deplore the disastrous effocts of the abuse of intoxicants ment of the Dunkin Act would Ji- minish if not entirely remove the knew all along that the bill would;not | carry, but they said all along that .| if he could find fish, tribution to that road overtoped the Lindsay friends their improved cir- cumstances bat the contrast forces the conclusion that of the many sins and iniquities common to the least otherwise the proverbially generous people of Reach would not have beon 80 shabbily treated; for it cannot be dennied that whatever little the Managing Director may now be he is indebtad to Reach it. He camo to Reach en- tirely destitute of resources physical, intellectual and financial, and while he did not improve in either during for his somewhat protracted stay in Pr'nce Albert still it were the people of Reach, who introduced him to the parties who gave him the position which has made him whatever he is. We would not for a moment attach any blame to any one for that over which he has no control, it was his misfortune and not his fault but he should not be unmindful of those who have shown him a way out ot his difficulty. A few weeks ago when the people of Prince Albert built a side walk from tho village to the railway station furnishing the means out of their own pockets, the pathmaster of the village beat asked the ungrate. ful James to supply a few plank to lay over the gutters within the station enclosure and thus complete the walk to the station platform. The Managing Director flew into a towering passion and declared in his own peculiar classic and amiable style that he would not give Prince Albert a plank to save it from --, -- (mud we suppose.) This 'was naughty in Mr. Holden so to treat a village; which has. done so much for him, street in the village he would not be Were he to plank every doing enough for what the village has done for him. ------------ Rather Fishy. The 'High Joint Commissioners" now arbitrating on the value of Cauadian fish are having a good time of it and appear to be coming prefty near to each others view in their estimate with regard to the money value of the privilege enjoyed by the United States in the use of our fisheries and other privileges, as to landing, curing, &c. So far there are only fifteen millions of dollars between them, In the Treaty of 1871 the British (not tLe Canadians) granted the American fisher- men rights to enter our great bays such as that of Chaleur, of Fundy and so on. Up till this time they did not go nearer to the shore than three miles Lut at that time this limit was done away with and in fature Jonathan might sail right up to our doors "Liberty of landing, curing fish, &o., &c., we.e also granted. As mackerel are always taken within the three mile limit, this doing away with the limit gave tho Americans the advantage of mackerel fishing which is an immense ad- vantage to that nation, These and other similar advantages taken into account are regarded by Britain as worth about a million and a quarter dollars a year or fifteen millions of dollars for twolve years. The Americans on the oontrary assert that Britain has no claim to a dollar for these supposed privileges ; that the Americans claim as a right which they could not think of surrendering an unalienable claim to pass within the headlands of such bays as Fundy and the like and consequently no compensation can be allowed for that.-- They assert that the proportion of mackerel to be got under - the treaty limits is bnt small ; besides, they consider the freedoms granted by the Htates to British fishermen at least equal in value to any freedoms granted to the Americans by Britain, and therefore Britain can claim no compensation money atall, Bo hero it stands, just fifteen millions and a headland difficulty between them, The Americans claim as a right to pass within the headlands, and the British say they have no such right. Requires Investigation. An exchange states that it is reported that copies of the recent examination papers for first and second class teachers' certificates were obtained by certain candidates from the printer before the examination took place, aud consequently such candidates had the advantage of seeing the questions be- fore the day of examination, How TeEY Wire Derzoren.--The very large percentage of correct answers given by a number of can- didates created suspigion in the minds of some of the éxaminer and they! set thomselves to find out whether there might not be some fraud connected with this astonish- ingly correct answering, when to their surprise they found that large numbers of the examination papers had been obtained from the printing office and were in the hands of these candidates some 'time before the examination. - This has created a a rumpus and the cowardly tamper- ers with the papers will find that they have "committed a' grave terror, The loss of honor is much '|more to be regretted than the The Bastern War: Wild war's deadly blast blows hore itselt on us and naturally leads to |fiercely and hoarsely than ever and the SOY8 thirsty sword drinks moro deeply of the best blood of two infatuated nations.

But what is money and what are war materials to the precious lives being sacrificed by the thousands, who shall fill the vacant places created at the hearth and homes? Who shall take the places of the thousands of fathers and protect and provide for the mother and the children? Who shall take tho positions of those many thousands sons and brothers, become the stay of the aged parents and the defence of the unprotected ones? This deadly war so far 'has accomplished little mare than the loss of seventy or eighty thousand lives, the destruction of untold property and leav- ing matters relatively between the two countries just about where they commen®ed. Bo far Russia has beenjbadly sold, in fact she appears to have been driven to her wit's end, The Emperor is 'war sick and home sick. The men are brave and daring but the Aristocratical Commanders cannot in sending a formidable army across the Danube, the would-be Generals each on his own account appeared to rin off with a fraction of the men expecting to meet and defeat the Turks and thus end the struggle on his own account.-- Ong runs to Kars another to Erzeroum an- other to Srlistria. In fact every chief town or city appeared fo be selected by some would-be officer as hn objective point a spot where he would gain immortal fame by de- clslvely defeating the enemy; one mad-cap was even foolist enough to lead a squad over the Balkans. The Turks amazed at first soon became amused al the antics of their would=be cnquorers spoiled their fun by driving them back in the greatest con- fusion to the base of their operation where they mow wait in Llank bewilderment scarcely knowing vhat the next move ought to be, whether they ought to gothome, go in. to winter quarters or doa little more runn. ingere the season closes. Let the brave soldiers send fhe Enperor home and let all the aristocrats every man of them accomp- any the Emperor to St. Petersburg and re- main there with him. Let the soldiers then select their Lest men as. commanders and goat the enemy systematically and long before Christmas they will have 'a a well-dressed Turkey on their table or 'at their feet. But if they prefer following the aristocrats they had better follow them home. E---- On the Defensive. The corn war appears as far from a success. ful termination as ever, Mr. B. Crandell, now one of the principal agriculturists of Port Perry rushing to the rescue of the fair agri- cultural fame of that municipality has lined our office with corn trees--we had almost said--towering over twelve fect in height and does not rest with demanding from ug A verdict in favor of his cbrn against all competitors but opens a field wide enough for an Empire. Fooling indignant that Prince Albert or Manchester should dare to claim preeminence in agricultural purenits he has thrown down a gauntlet to these two villages heavy enough to make it risky for for any ordinary mortal to take up. As to the growing of corn he regards his success and consequently that of Port Perry as a foregone conelusion and points to his grand specimens in proof of his claim, But not satisfied with what he thus regards as an easy victory he enlarges his sphere and tells these two villages in so many words that either or both of them may regard them" selves whipped should they attempt to enter the lists with Port Perry morally, intellect- ually, financially or agricti furally. Bring on your proofs of superiority in the other de. partments and we will try and decide, EE Changed His Base. Our late respected Triend of the '"Beaver- ton Bee" kicked upa general rumpus a couple of weeks ago, swarmed and left the hive, assigning as a caase the lack of flowers from which to extract honey in that barren field, The chancesare however that his Beeship did not use the necessary effort to obtain honey. If he expected to find honey ready made he expected too much ; he should have ajplied his own probocis and extracted honey from such flowers as came in his way. Even the gods are not credited with anything further than helping those who help themselves and more should not have been expected of the Beavertonians, That matter however is be. tween the late Bee and its patrons.

"The Bureau of Statistics of Great Britain furnishes the following statement of the quantities of wheat imported into the United Kingdom during the fifteen months preced- ing March 31st 1877. From the Uuited States forty millions five hundred thousand bushels; from Russia nearly seventeen million bushels ; from Brit- ish India between six and seven million bushels ; from Egypt and Turkey six million five hundred thousand bushels ; from British America a little over four million bushels ; and a little over twenty-five millions from other countries, Ot course during the present year nothing can be expected from Russia, Turkey, Egypt or India so that at least thirty millions of bushels will have to bedrawn from other countries. -------- A Wise Suggestion. It has been suggested to place our Gov- ernments on half or perhaps third pay until our workmen can be fully employed and on tull pay. If anything will cause our rulers to change their fiscal policy that will. But while honorables and their wives are allow: ed tosimper andstarall over the country and extort $25 each day oft the toiling ones what do they care if the country went to the dogs, if they can be made sure of a contin- uance of their shamefully extravagant pay.-- Of course in going round if they can so pal- aver with their "goody--goody" as to gull the simple constituents so as to continue them in office and of course quietly continue the pay the whole aim of the staring will have been accomplished and the expensive blathering tours will be repeated from year to year until the toiling jones kick over the traces and drive the incompetents from office by brute force.

The advocates of county Poor Houses had better make a note of the working of their special favorites. Bavmiors, Md., August 19th --The _offic- ial report of tne investigation of the charitc able institutions in the Btate discloses a shocking conditon of affairs, Five hundred insane and idiotic people are utterly uincared for. Some of the county almhousés are dis- gusting dens of filth and prostitution, sicken- ing to contemplate, In Alleghany county the almhouses, sane and insane, are indis- criminately associated with regard to sex, An epileptic colored girl has had three chil- dren, two born in the almshouse. In Anne Arundel county almshouse the white inmates live in unrestricted concubinage, one insane woman having had three illegitimate chil- dren jn the almshonse. The Baltimore county almshouse is fearfully overcrowded, the inmates sleeping in bath rooms and water-closets. Caroline county almshouse is a mockery of charity and a nursery of pol. lution, One woman bore two, another six children in the institution. The colored department is worse than a pig stye. In one small room were five women, two chil- dren, several cats and dogs, and other living things. In Cecil county almshouse the sexes so easily mingle that several illegiti- mate births occured. One idiot white wo- man, herself born in the almshouse, gave birth to six children. Washington county almshouse is a common nuisance more shocking and revolting than the others. et -------- We find from the Galt Reporter that a highly interesting and important Seed Fair was held in that town on Tuesday of last week. A large amount of grain was ex- hibited. The "Clawson" was exhibited in in large quantity and excellent quality, but millers speak unfavorably of this description of wheat and would give five cents a bushel more for almost any other variety, The «Silver Chaff" was quite a favorite and all that was presented was rapidly sold at $1.75 per bushel, This seems to be an excoed- ingly productive variety, All those who had it on the ground re- ported immense yields from this grain. Mr. Evans, of Blenheim, had some of the grain which we noticed in last issue on the ground. After cleahing thoroughly, from one bushel of seed sown--on a trifle over an acre of ground--he had a yield of sixty-one bushels and four pounds, Now let the Ed. of the Ezpositor come in here. He was complaing loudly in his last week's issue of his cotems blowing so much and so percistently over big yiclds that there was no way for him to come in. Here is pow a favorable opportunity for him we know what hs can do in the blowing line he can give such a yield as will silence all compet- itors and it would be a charity to do it for really this is awful and ought to be stopped. Fifty-four and fifty.five bushels to the acre was regarded as clapping the climax but when they climb over their "sixty.one" it is high time that our friend of the Expositor come in with his *'big push" and gave them a silencer, tein An Extending Market.
