All thie above constituencies won from the Government, in Ontario; while crown the viétory may be recorded the defeat of Sir George E. Cartier in Mon- | treal, by a majority of 1282 votes ! Ap still the good work of ridding this country of Tory representatives goes splendidly forward, and a large nunsber of notable victories are recorded for Reform. Monckhas been taken from McCallum by Edgar; Oornwall carried by Pr.

Of twelve members elected in Ontario that day, only one was a support- er of Sir John. Well may the Union and Prog. men look upen that day. as their "black Friday," for they have scarcely their hope of retaining power shattered. Besides the direct gains to the Reform jay enumerated above, the following Re- ormers have been elected during the past woek:--White for Halton; Tho pson for Haldimand, by acclamation ; Prince Edward; Cockburn, for Muskoka-- new constituency; Flemming, for North «Brant; Trow, for South Perth; Horton # ior Centre Hurou; Cameron for South Hu- ven; D.A. Macdonald, for Glengary; Oliver iéar North Oxford, by acclamation ; +Noatcherd, for North Middlesex, unop- iposed; Bodwell, for South Oxford, unop posed ; Mt. McKenzie, for Laubton, Ly a majority of 634. : During the week, tories have elected Robinsgn for Algoma; Daly, for North Perth-- gain; Keeler, for East No:th- umleriand ; O'Rilly, for South' Renfrew --gnin. At the time of writing the Reform gain in Ontario is 22 sents; with a loss of 4-- inaking a difference of 36 votes in favor of the Opposition on a division; and the elections yet to come off in this Province will increase reform gains. While such a sweeping cliange has taken place in this | part of the Dominion, tlie result in the other Proviuces is cheering. Quebec Liss defedated numerous ministerial supporters," and the prospect is that the Province will be pretty evenly divided. The Montreal classes those elected as 31 Ministerial, 21 Opposition, and. 2 Independent; with 11 elections yet to be held; of which constit- nencies 7 were formerly held by liberals. | Nova Scotia and New Bruwswick are likewise about Jbalanced, and a Quebec Ministerial paper acknowlédges that the wajority of rdpresentatives from the lower Jrouinves are quite as likely to sap- port Messrs. Blake and McKenzie as they are to uphold Sir John and Sir George. There is therefore good ground for hop- | ¢ither of their own declarations of the | ing that the termination of the present | contest will show such a decided majority in opposition to the present ministry, as will force them to give place to better men, and men who will uphold the con- stitution of the country. nm----_ i cna.

The following particulars we take from the Globe :-- In West Peterboro', Mr. Bertram, the Reform candidate, had a majority of forty votes, and supposed himself to be duly elected. Dr. .George Burnham, the re turning ofiicer, appointed by the Gov- eraent to the exclusion of the county | olficials, has decreed otherwise. It appears from the statement of our cofrespondent | that Mr, Cluxton, the Conservative candi- date, was asked by the returning officer | to give in his qualification, but it was not ready, and no defnand was made, in con- sequence, on Mr. Bertram, for his certi- ficate. That gentleman, however gave it | in voluntarily three days before the re. | turn was made. Nevertheless the return- ing officer is said to have declared Mr: Bortrain disqualified, and Mr. Cluxton duly elected. If-this is an accurate stute- ment of the facts, the returning officer wnst ~ be a very extmordinary aun to be'entrusted with such duties. Mr, ¢"nxton was asked for his qualification, nil ho was mot ready.

Now, what their reason is for Th | ; e | Station has been here since the Duilding | of the road, aud has been the best payin, | Station between Toronto and Whitby, an { 1 am not sure, if it docs not pay better | than all the other Stations together; therefore, under these circumstances, people wonder what reason' the Company | can have for removing it, or if it is really intended to do so. The amount of passenger and freight traffic at the Station is large and pays the | Company well for a rural Station, there- | fore, this onght to be sufficient proof that | the Station is needed for the convenience | of the public. The Grand Trunk Railway { Company has time and again been | | with favoring through traffic from the Western States, and neglecting local traffic in Canada. If they close this Station it will Te another proof of this unjust policy. The people of Canada have paid their milliens for the building of the road, thercfore, they certainly have a better claim for consideration by the Company than the people of the Western States. Some very numerously signed. petitions have been sentin to Mr. Brydges, prayi him to re-consider the s=bject, and kee the Station open as before; but wit what success remains yet to be seen. As the trains all stop to take on wood, pas- sengers can get on and off as usual for the |. present. Since writing the above, information has been received that the Station is to be finally closed on Wednesday, the 28th inst. It will, therefore, be seen that the petitions sent in by the people of Picker- ing, have been disregarded by Mr. Bryd and that he has not thought it either | necessary or respectful to answer the { prayer of the people, by even giving his reasons for closing the best paying Station betwoen Turento and Whitby. If Mr. Gibbs cares anything for the interest of his constituents in this part of | the Riding, here is a chance for him to show it, by using his influence with the powers that be, to have the Station con- tinued, and if wuccessful, he will have the first claim to their gratitude.

[From the San Francisco Chronichle.] The following story, as reported to us, has much go 4 in it, but the future may demonstrate its truth, revolutionize commerce. and make the of the marvelous tailsman the veritable Midas of the nineteenth century. It is no less than the discovery of a chemical which when applied to base oe] nig ond Beppe them into pure geld--pure, shining, veri- table gold.

The bank- er was very much occupied with Kis cares, overburdened with offers of for dis- count, and harrassed with the of losses on loans for which he held collat- eral in the shape of mining stocks, seem- ingly descending on his hands.

Many of our readers who believe that they are hand- ling the products of our geld wines now daily receive and pay out this substance created from base metals by one of our most unobtrustive citizens. Some of it has been run into the customiiry form of bars, and stamped with the brand znd records of cur most famous refinery, has been shipped abruad, as the basis of exchange for a banking institution on a eolossal scale, to be established on the comparative- ly small beginning of one of our noted banks, and the effort will be to make San Francisco the centr¥ of all comureial ox ch and the great depusitry of the products of the world. e scheme is vast, proportioned to the power which two men hold in their grasp.

There was not a single moment during the last five years when had Mr. Thompson the opportunity he would not have voted to ok the d-Cartier Government overboard neck and heels.

The stranger made no reply, but deposit- ol a leather valice on the banker's desk, opened and took from it a mass 'of dingy like brass, and handed it to him. The man of money examined it curiously, and returned it, saying he was no jk of mineral substances, and had no time to study this particular specimen. A CONFIDENTIAL PERSON'S JUDGEMENT, The stranger asked him if Me would know gold if he saw it, and if not, would he be kind enough to send for some con- fident person, on whose judgement he could rely, to assay and deternjine the uality and value of his lump of metal. he proposition was reluctantly ded to. One of our most minent assayers was summnoned, and examining the bat and inquiring with visible ex- citement, where it came from, and receiv- ing no satisfaction, departed, taking it with him, promisi 'g to report on it the next day but one, at noon. Pupctually at the appointed time the three men met, at the bank. The assayer produged the metal, which had been run into the form of » bar, and had all the appesrance of the ordinary gold ingst of commerce.| That 1 oks like gold, said the banker. Itis gold, said the assayer, nearly a thousand fine --the parest I have gver put in a crucible. 1 ANOTHER SEARCHING TEST. The stranger said nothing. The others plied him with questions evneerning the source from which it came. He avilly, but firmly, declined to furnish any infor- mation, requesting them as a test of its genuinencss, to send it to the mins in this city for coinage. To this they as- sented, and the bar was sent with other bars to the miat. It was therd again submitted to the tests usual in such cases, and the next day itsvaine was returned in double eagles--something more then eight thousand dollars --which way placed to the credit of the now docid :dly ifiterest- ing stranger. For nearly a week fhothing was seen of him, or heard from hiln, The banker was in a fever of excitement. He could think of nothing but the owner of | of the gold.

[From the Buffalo Express, Aug. 17.) The thousands who were uponthe streets yesterday will recollect seeing and hearing twp of musie which traversed that avenue in waggons, followed by a hack, all of the vehicles being decora with cari- ous placards. Those who observed the strange pr i were doubted] amused, and may therefore bg pleased to pussess the key to it-and also the sequel. omplaint having been made to the ice that an insane man was conducting mysterious affair, Superintendent Byrne dispatched two detectives, Messrs.

It approached the Police Head-quarters triumphantly, the bands di ing a Greeley cam air meanwhile, on its arrival at the corner of Pearl street and the Terrace. When the singular pro- cession paused the single occupant of the hack was politely escorted to the office of the gentleman who wished to see him, and he hy unconscious of his position, stalked boldly in. Col. Byrne questioned him and the man told his story in a perfectly easy manner, not at all suggesting insanity. From himself and his wife, who was like- wise interviewed, we learned the following sad and yet amusing history: The insane man's name is Richard Pim, and he is a native of Toronto, Canada. He is a piano tion. At in- tervals for several he'has been a sort of monomaniac, At times his disease has become so violent it was necessary to con- find him in an asylum. Six weeks agc he was released from the aey} ta in Tojuaty, in eonsequence of the belief that he was harmless. been, in fact, hatching up the crowning act of his life, in his estimation. Soon after being discharged, he gathered to- gether all his worldly gouds and convert- ed tiem into gold. e then informed his wife that he had an opportunity to make some money in Buffalo, and was going into ership with a man ramed Cusick. After much urging, his wife con- scnted to recompany him to this city, where such glittering promises were to be fulfilled. They arrived in the early part boarding house on South Division Street, near Michigan. On the pretense of arrang- ing his future businéss in the city, he oc- cupicd the next few days in getting bills printed and posted all over the city. He Fengaged two city bands, two waggons and ® hack for yesterday afternoon, and had placards printed, on which were quaint devices and Bible inscriptions as follows: "" Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to mect him, and when he shall appear we shall be like him;" " Adam and Eve;" ' Wait and see the key to the above," "The way to Paradise," etc. Yesterday afternoon he asked his wife if she would like to take 8 Vide, and she suspecting not! ent 8 carriage, which soon Joined hie band waggon.

She screamed yiolently and rush toward the house, closely folloved by Lim. On reaching the house she seized a shot gun, which lay in the dining room, and warned him not to make any further de- monstrations of injuring her, or she would kill him. He pgid no attention to her ad- monition but advanced, and as he did so, she pulled the trigger Wills fell dead, the contents of the gun having entered There was not a word spoken.
