Any man or set of men occupying the position of legislators who do not bend their energics in that direction aro enemios to the province and unworthy of the posi- tion of legislator and ought to be driven from it. If it were notso everlastingly costly it would be ludricrous in the extreme to listen to the milk and water politeness with which the Mowat party seek to bow out any attempt to limit their gushing ex- travagance and unpardonable waste. On the bth with contingencies i.e extras, the Government proposed §3,350 for the Lieu Gov's office ; the Opposition proposed to reduce this by at least $1,200. Tho Government said "this was a mere bagatelle" and "as inst., when dealing a matter of good tasto it was inadvis- able to press the reduction of the contingencies" The matter was put to vote, the whole Mowat party endorsing of tho sophistry of the defenders of the ex- travagance voted for giving the Will it be believed that Mr. Paxton, the representative of the Mowat party of N.

Again the Opposition tried to bring the Ministers to their senses and induce them to move at Toast in the direction of economy ; he Jeader of the Opposition moved: "That in the opinion of this House the salaries of the Ministers should be fixed at at $3,500, with $1,000 additional for the Premier ; that the salaries of the deputy heads of the departments should not exceed $2,500, and that all the other salaries of the departmental officers, for which appropria- tionehad not already been made and which are in excess of $800, should be reduced 10 per cent, of the amount thereof, but not to reduce any such salary to an amount below $800, and that the said resolution be forth- with referred back to the Committee of Supply with instructions to reduce the items under fhe head of Executive Council and Attorney General's office accordingly."

S------ Meeting of Delegates. At the call of the Execntive Com= mittee of the I. C. A. of the North Riding of Ontario, a meeting of the Delegates from the minor associa- tions of the Riding was held in the Town Hull, Sunderland, on Monday, 10th inst. The object of the meeting was the nomination of a candidate to repre- sent this riding in the Dominion parliament. Had Mr. Gibbs when be entered a protest against the re- turn of Mr. Wheler, at the same time claimed the seat he would now have a right to it without any fur- ther trouble, but for some cause the seat was not demanded and another election will bo necessary to secure in the Commons, as the voiding of the election of Mr. Wheler, saying no- a representation of N.O thing of his disqualification, leaves this riding without a reprosenta- tive in the dominion parliament.-- So that the chief object of the meet- ing was the nomination of & candi- date for that position. This was decidedly ono of the largest, most enthusiastic and in- telligent delegate meetings we have ever attended and the utmost good feeling and unanimity prevailed throughout. It was obvious that the delegates bad only one end in view in making their seloction--the best interest of the riding and of the Dominion at large. The President took the chair at 1 p- m. and called the meeting to order. The Sec-Troas read the minutes of the preceeding meeting which were on motion confirmed.-- A satisfactory ttatement of the re- ceipts and disbursements was now submitted by the Sec-Treas. The names of the delegates were now called and 119 answered to their names. The President now explained bis reasons for calling the meeting just at this time, and stated that the next business to come before the meeting would be the nominating of a gen tleman to represent this riding in the Dominion Logislature and he would now ask for nominations for that position. No sooner said than done, W. IH. Gibbs, Esq., was at once moved, seconded and by the unanimous voice of the meeting de- clared the nomince of the conven- tion. Mr, Gibbs was sent for--bhe- png in the village at the time--and on entoring the ball was received with rounds of applause. The chair- man informed Mr. Gibbs that the unanimous voice of the meeting said that he should be the representative of this riding in the dominion par- liament. Mr. Gibbs acknowledged the compliment in ore of the neatest and best speechos we ¢ver heard him make, and was cheered to the echo. The President now stated that the bills calling the meeting set forth that a canditate for the representa tion of this riding in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario should be sel- ected at this meeting and he would leave it with the meeting to say whether or not such a selection should be made to-day Several parties expressedthe opin- ion that this matter might well be deferred. On motion it was agreed that such nominations should now ve proceeded with, when several nominations wore made and ballots cast. On the result of tho first ballot being made known all with drew their names except three, when the ballot was again taken for these. At this time the Uxbridge and Bcott delegates had to withdraw; for as they had come by train if they did not return now they could not got home that evening. Tn justice to these townships which would thus be unrepresented it was thought advisable not to proceed further at ' this time with the spleotjon of a candidate for the representation of the riding in the Local Legisiaturo, and with the consent of the mecting farther action was deferred. This action of deferring will meet the approbation of all who fairly consider the matter; it is true that the balloting might have gone on, the number of delegates yet remain- ing amounting to over 90 but would it have been fair to proceed in the absence of two or three municipal- ities? The object of nominating by meetings is to secure to each muni- cipality a proper controlling power over the selection und tht every part of the riding may have its say as to who the representative should be. given no valid objection can be urge itical convention.

The ceremony of prorogation took place on Tuesday at 3 p, m. When the Lieu:Gov, bad taken his seat the Clerk of the House read over the titles of nearly one hundred bills, sixty-two of these were private bills, the rest public bills. The private bills may be all good enough and whatever public bills have been under the care of private members may be workable and stand longer than one year without tinkering ; but it may be taken for granted that some will be rotten ripe for change long before another session Spectators say that it was heart rending to witness the agonizing looks which not a few bon, members cast on seats which they Ministers clinging with the grip of dispair to the Treasury benches, seats which they have can never again occupy. are legislation and which even the constitution of the country says they should have relin- quished over a month ago.

And all the people shall say "Amen." -- Dominion Parliament. The Dominion House have got down to their work like bees. Capt Purdy gave hon, gentlemen an oppor- tunity to find the range of their guns and since then the two sides have been firing away, the Government party had both the right side of the question and the best speaking in the debate. Under all circum- stances the country has no reason to com- plain of the dismissal of Capt Purdy. This subject brought on the general question of dismissals which so turned the tables on the late Government that the chances are that they regretted the stirring up of the Purdy case. Mr. McCarthy is pressing on his Controverted Elections bill with energy which will be found a great improvement on the one now in force. From present appearances the Tasolvent received from the Fishery Award came up us abone of contention, but it is to be hoped ing that the greatest possible good may be secured to the entire Dominion from the judicious expenditure of 60 large an amount | of money, $5,500,000, Doubtless the Maritime Provinces and New d have 8 just claim to the lion's share but no single Province should set itself » mp as dictaor fn the matter.

Again taking into consideration the tightness of the times the Goveroment have wisely determined to save $1,490,000. in the matter of the redemption of debt, this will prove of much advantage to the Domine fon in these bard times, But the estimated expenditure on public works will exceed that of last year by $1,384,000, This is a commendable feature,there 1s no better time + a to press public works than during a scarcity of labor and men require employment -- Last year the Mackenzie government with the view of keeping down the estimates cut down the estimates on Public Works heed- less that their doing so in a scarcity of labor deprived many hundreds of laborers of the means of subsistance.

In witer, teed sweet, early-cut hay, well-cured corn fodder, roots, cabbages, etc., and a ration of 'bran cormeal, ground oats, or middliags.

A reliable ther- mometer is a necessity to cvery good dairy- man, MILKING. The milking should be done quietly and at regular times, and the utmost cleanliness observed. Nothing is tainted quicker than milk by foul odors, and surcly at times with nearly all cows there is enaugh animal odor to it, without adding any more. SETTING. Strain the milk slowly into the pans) four to six inches deep, It is an excellent plan to strain the milk into a large tan set in sold water; and cool down to 60 degrees before putting into the small pans. The milk must be set in a pure atmosphere, at such a temperature as will permit the cream to raise in from thirty to thirty-six hours after setting. In order to do that the room should be kept at about 60 or 65 degrees, and not allowed to vary much either above or below. In hot weather keep a. forse piece of icc in & tub in the room. Cover it over with a thick blaiiket, and, if arranged so that the water will rug off; it will keep a long time and keep the room very uniform, In cold weather some arrangement for warming the milk room sheuld be adopted. BRIMMING, Skim as spon as the milk begins to turn soir, Do mot neglect this rule, as it is 'imposeible to make good Lutter from cream that has become old and sour. When you pour your cream into, the cream jar, splash as little as possible. Stir the cream every time you add more to it, and wipe the sides of the pot.
