Are" not these plunderers on a big scale treated too leniently? j It is just possible that prompt Drsconian treatment might be- come a check, othermeans failing; The cause, the crlmeand the remedy are worthy the `most careful consideration of society at large. _ The sixty-three years, since this country store transaction took place have wrought some notable changes. Fishers Glen is a beautiful and romantic spot on the shore of Lake Erie in the township of Charlotteville, "Norfolk county, and is a place of. resort -`for picnic and pleasure parties generally. Whether there is any store there now or not we do not know, but the prices of articles mentioned in the bill above quoted would not now di'er much from the prices of the same articles in Barrie. It may not be amiss for those who grieve over the departure of the good old times, to compare the prices of articles of consumption then and now. Snu' which was then $2.00 a pound can be obtained for 60c. or by the ounce at 5 cents per ounce. Eight barrels of salt can be purchased new for the price paid for one barrel in 1828. Three and a third pounds of the best tea used here, can be bought at the same price as was then paid for one pound and ten pounds of such tea as many people use. Soap can be purchased at ve cents a pound instead of 37 or more than seven times the quantity. Cotton then 37% cents a yard can be hot; :13`, now for seven or eight cents and as low as ve cents a yard. A note worthyfact is that butter was selling then at about the same price that it now bears in the winter season. The best butter in the Barrie market was selling from 17 to 200. a pound last Saturday, the. price paid at Fisher's Glen in 1828 was -23; cents. We must not conclude however, that because of the dierence in prices of articles that people are that much more better 011`. Though we can buy almost everything, nominally, for less money,the value is away down. Oottons and woollens for clothing do not last a fourth of the time that they formerly did, sometimes a pair of stockings purchased at the store are full of holes by one week's `wear. Kitcken` utensils of every sort i have not the tenth of the wear in them as those of therdays we are referring ' to. While spices and all other things which admit of adulteration` are not one fth of the value. These together with the requirements of modern society,render the cost of" living much greater than in the dear times of old, so that with a given in- come not so muchcan be annually saved. While the old times had drawbacks and in conveniencies they had also their pleasures and advfantagesand the same may be said of our day. _' e l V ' '1 -rant am` now. i The British Canadian" of Simcoe.` Norfolk County has the followinr:--Gap- tsln Spain has an old scconnt wherein Messrs Cross & Fisher at their store, (now Fisher's Glen) sold a customer a bill of goods as follows : ' ' A.__..__L n-I_ -ennn w1.egeived payment Dec. 31st, -1828 Signed, Cnoss & Fxsnnn.

This is perfectly logical. The Presbyterians, the Methodists and any other religious body that existed in Manitoba prior to the passing of the Public School Act are just as much en- titled to Separate schools as the denomin- ation in jvhose favor the courts have lately decided. If all the religious bodies push their claims and get them allowed, fare- well to the Public School system of Maui- toba_and.the Northsiest. We are utterly opposed to the Separate School. system.

We notice that the Electric Light Com- pany are asking for a ten year s contract. That sort of thing will never do. No council should be permitted to bind their successors in the matter of lighting the streets for such a term. A one year con- tract is quite long enough. As we are well supplied with facilities for street lighting it should be open to tender and the council should annually use its judg- ment as to which is the most economical and the best method. We have had a number of years of large expenditure for necessary public works. These having been supplied, it is now time to enter on a period of retrenchment and economy, and every ratepayer will stoutly protest against giving a contract for lighting the streets for any term of years, in view of the fact, that in a much shorter period than ten years light may be procurable at A fth of its present cost.

Ml`: Jnhn nhnunl Ann an-um ant` The news from India which appeared in the press on Saturday is of more than common interest. Blood has been shed in an attack on a British frontier post by Russo-border tribes. The place was cap- tured by these tribes and retaken by British and Sepoy troops, resulting in a number being killed and wounded. Among the wounded are three or four British oicers. The news. caused great excitement in London and much activity was witnessed at the India Department. _ Russia s aggressive policy both in Asia and Europe is energetic and persistent and it would not be surprising if the great war so long predicted should have its be- ginning in such an act reported from the Roof of the World. The nancial pos- ition of Russia is alleged to be in no con- dition for an expensive war. Nations how- ever do not always wait till their treasuries are full to commence such contests. If the internal state of the Russian Empire be; as is reported, almost in a state of rebel- lion from the hunger of its people and the operations of nihilists, a war would serve to distract attention from domestic evils to foreign enemies. There is no country in -Europe whose people could he made accept a war more cheerfully except it might be the French against the `Germans. I a Lord Salisbury is iust the man to deal with Russian aggression in India. Rus- sia's game is to separate Chinese `territory from the British posessions nd a way to the Bay of Bengal "and join hands with the French. The London Times intimates that Russian designs must at all hazards be frustrated. The Imperial Prime Min-c ister will be handicapped in dealing with the question by the coming eiections, but we mistake not if his policy will not be as prompt and vigorous as the occasion`. It looksmas though the closing years of the nineteenth century were destined to bring about some wonderful changes.
