our faith in geography- is shaken on account of the following paragraph in the barrio gazette the days commence to shorten now in this distant clime the days are gradually setting longer and we sympathise withbarrie evex the dullest intellects and the extrcmest partisans come to the con clusion by this time that the little tyrant knows something of consti tutional law all the bluster about

anything but that the dull weather seemed to carry a premoni tion of disaster in the air and reports come of dradful casualities by land anp water a mississippi steamboat was buined to the waters edge and only 14 out of 300 people arc known to have been saved a similar scene was enacted on pngct sound where seven persons perished in the flames of a burning steamboat in toronto one man was killed

not pluck enough to speak out plainly about matters of public interest but who can pepper itito each other or any other journal in great shape of this class are the uxbridge journal and times for two or three mouths they have been firing- poisoned shafts into each other in a manner equalled only by the arizona kicker for a time after the light started each of the bel ligerents had a few friends and sym pathisers now we doubt if either of them has a single syinpathisdri the latest phase of this fuss is the publica tion of letters being passed between them with the view of going- to law we should recommend the two editors to do as the bownanville journalists j do when they hve trouble go to a grocery store and secure two cabbage heads with the- stem attached take hold of the sterns in both hands and lay into each other for all thy are worth if they think the gate re ceipts will warrant them in guaran teeing expenses our lighting editor will go out and referee the cabbage- head business it will be a standing disgrace to the intelligence of this town if it decs not erect a monument to the live aldermen who displayed such wisdow in their choice of material for street crossing observer is glad to know that no other town has attempted to infringe on the patent there is some excuse for the tour classes first named by mr brown the other evening in his address for not giving their influence to the sabbath schools but there is a sixth class the most contemptible of all who call them selves christians they are the retired gentry such christians know no god but their money may the lord have mercy on such benighted and blinded souls if they are building on the hope that their wealth is to secure for them an entrance into heaven tkoy wijl be treated as the slothful servant who hid his talent in the earth vbound hand and foot and i cast into outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing- of teeth the board of health clings to the old adage if a little is good a good deal is better so they furnished to the smallpox family nineteen pounds of sulphur to be burned as a fumigator and disinfectant this large quautity rio doubt is to make up for the small amount allowed for provisions sul phur is cheaper than meat you know the intelligence of five large bony stalwart and not the least of them hightoned aldermen can be measured by the width of a certain
