The Ontario Legislature wound up the business of a short, soft and un- interesting session on Saturday last, o 'but the closing scene was deferred till the fourth inst.' A good spread was work in Mr. Lane's blacksmithing establishment. At the first note of alarm the villagers were on the spot with determination to save the pro- perty or at least. to confine the de- vourer to the premises 'where it origin- ated. The premises could not be saved but no further damage was done. The origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery as no fire was in the shop from four o'clock p.m., of the previous day.

' It was through | from the tone of the Opposition press that the fight would a warm right up to the division, and that the calling in of the members would have demonstrated that the Government is doomed to speedy death, but the grand opportunity has been lost, and men who are anxious for the first division for more reasons than one will have to crub their impatience until the Opposi: tion gets its second wind, for it is evi- dent - that it lost its wind in the liminary canter. It was at first thought that Sir Richard Cartwright ani his fellow stumpers would have made it 80 hot for the Government on the trade question that there would be no peace; but judging by the first assult, which was a very feeble affair indeed, subsequent effort cannot be very spirited. 'Taking this view, a short season may be looked for, unless the anti-French agitators consame time over the Manitoba School Act and other questions in that direction which the Government will be called upon to consider, * But the Opposition will fight clear of these complications. It is playing for office, and cannot afford to take any chances, aig Lon Dr, CraRkE, Medical Health Officer, Peterborough, writes the Review :-- When a case of smallpox appeared here some years ago the Board of Health roso to the occasion and soon stamped it out; but diphtheria is a to- tally different disease and cannot be. driven out: by so-alled vigorous measures, It is the result of many conditions 'slowly operating together, and all shat dan be dons is £3 sep the ip to aD all water or milk, I to say that our supply of either is im- pure, 'but 1t is best to be on the safe side. Avoid depressing inflaences. A child is glad tn get out in the early spring, and will play until he is fatigu- ed, inhaling at the same time a good deal of irritating dust. He then comes in and lies down in a cool place. It is in these moments of languor and depression that the germs of disease make beadway. At the same time everything about the house should be kept in good sdnitary order, and I would here call attention to the pro- visions of the Health Act which re- ire that all yards and premises be oroughly cleaned out hy the 15th of May. The inspectors will soon be no their - rounds and will show no mercy to offenders.
