Speaking iu this connection, Mr. Weld ob- ucrves ; â€" "There are a few small fanns to be Seen in the low valleys that arc found on this line I Victoria and Nini- luo luilroad). The climate and soil make il a struggle for agiiculturaliHtn to make much here.

IN many parts the "Glorious Twelfth" is more generally observ- ed as a public holiday than Do- minion Day. The deeds of King William III, of "glori- otts. pious and immortal memory," 3Com to be as fresh iu the niimls of tons of thousands of people today as they were one hundred and ninety- eight years ago. And, although our natal day is pretty generally observed as a national holiday, tlure is not the enthusiasm manifested so characteris- tic of the twelfth. No doubt the gay colors, the Htirring notes of tlio fifes, the thundering boom of the drums, coupled with the circnmstanccB which gave rise to the celebration, have much to do with this. .\nd then, too. more than a hundred years before the birth of this rapidly growing young nation north of the '19th parallel, the Orange- men all over the world had mad',' the "Glorious Twelfth" their big day, rind had been wont to assemble themselves to the sounds of fife and drum with every recurrence of that memorable day. Arteniesia Township is noted far and near for its Orange lodges ; but more parlicul.irly for the respectability of its Orani'cnicn. We use this term own town Orangemen largely repres- ented. It is estimated that o\er 2.000 people, including Orangciuen visited Markdale. Stirring and patriotic ad- dresses were delivered by liev. J. W. Shilton, H..\.. of Fleshertou ; Major Joseph liorke, M.I'.P.. of Clarksburg ; llev. A. Wilson, and Rev. Mr. Bug- gins, of Markdale. Thos. Kells, Esq., District Secretary, gave a very inter- esting report iu connection with the Society. There were nine lodges of Oranojemen present, which, when headed by the Markdale Brass IJand, assisted by members of Fleslnerton Band, made an imposing procession. Dr. Sproule. M.P. for East Grey, hav- ing been called out to attend an urgent case ill eonncctio:i with the ))ractice of his profession, was unabM to tokv his place on the platform â€" a fact gen- erally regretted, as the Dr. is an elo- quent speaker and very popular with all classes of the people. Dr. Chris- toe, the grand old Reeveof Artemesia, was absent attending the National Division of the Sons of Temperance in Toronto, where, however, he had the pleasure of witnessing the magni- ficent Orange procession iu the Queen City. The speaking in Markdale took pla;;e on the .Agricultural grounds. The day's celebration passed off in an orderly and plea.sant manner and the visiting brethren returned to their respective homes early in tlie evening. The Twelfth was also celebrated at Maxw-ell, Kimbcrley and Dundalk in a fitting manner â€" largo crowds visit- ing each of those places. In the first named place some three or four lodges marched in procession. In the latter village, the chief feature iu the large procession was the haiid.soniely mii- foriucd members of tlis Young Men's Prot<.'Slant Benevolent Association of Dundalk, who were tlio "observed of all observers." If Orangemen- gener- ally would adopt a uniformity of dress (or uniform) these demon strations would possess much greater interest to outsiders than they do. It is not necessary to go to the expense of pur- chasing costly uniforms in order to bring about such a desideratum ; but let there be a uniformity in the ordi- nary clothing worn, the same as ob- tains in city Orange lodges. uflieials know it. We could depict' advisedly, for many rowdies and "riff- fuarful results from injudicious move- 1 raff"â€" to use a common expression â€" IliUllU. " If [HHiplo will and must leave On- tario, and are desirous of settling down ponuancntly in tlic best agricultural have time and again found their way into Orange lodges to the disgrace of that noble Order. Aneuiesia Orange- men, as a whole, arc as (tod-feariug. disUicta outside these Eastern Pn.vin- , orderly, respectable and fine a body of aoH, it is certainly obvious that Mani- Colia and our North -West Territories should bo their destination, and not IM'itish Columbia or the iuqHiverished Niirtliorn and Southern States and 'i'erri lories. Contrasting the coiidi- liim of the settlers in the North-Wcst wMt tliose iu the I'nited States. Mr. Weld tlwis forcibly remarks : â€" men as can be found in Canada. Why â- ? simply because they live up to the principles of their Order, which are founded on the only solid and suio foundation, vi/.., the Bible.

The smoke of fifteen sawmill chimneys blackens the air above. This appears to be the main industry of the place. Thousands of logs float in the Bay and hundreds of thousands yet to conic. The constant hum of machinery in W(A-k hours and the hiv.ri flitting to and fro of many men demonstrate that this is 110 small trade done here. At present the employees ave out on strike, demanding 10 hours as a day's work, instead of U>^ or 1 1 , and pay every two weeks instead of monthly- The men being principally associated with the Knights of Labor, upjx'ar to be strong and considor they are right in their action, while the mill-owners think that ^ an horn- s day would hurt no one, and as long as the money was sure to bo planked dowir i«y day the men had little to grumble at.
