We pub- lish it by request. OFFICE OF THE GRAND WORTHY PATRI- ARCH. Sons. of Temperance of Ontario, . Toronto, January, 1873. My Dzaz Sisters xp Brotueas : By perusing the reports presented at the Annual Session of the Grand Division, in London, by the G. W. P. and G, 8., you will learn that our moble Order has made considerable progress during the past year. On the 30th Bert. 1872, the returns from subordinate Divisions shewed an increase of 2314 memters, and 75 Divisions, oie the corresponding period of 1871; &hd now gives us an army of 8939 members, with 141 Divisions, to commence the cam- paign of 1873. This increase of membership, and the fact that our subordinate Divisions are all working harmoniously, cannot fail to gratify all of us ; yet, although our Order is progressing, we must not forget that it has peculiar claims upon the people of Ontario, and the success of the last twelve months is only what it merits. No organi- zation has done more than the Sons of Temperance for our country. For the past quarter of a century it has been fore- ments of the liquor seller, and has also labored earnestly to reclaim the erring-- to restore the drunkard to reason and to- his family -- to reduce pauperism and crime--to lessen taxation--to educate our sobriety, and, in the Division Room, te teach them how to occupy prominent posi- tions in the world ; and in this work we have spent time and thousands of dollars, THE union meetings announced for last week, to be held throughout the world by all evangelical Churches, at the request of the Evangelical Alliance, were, in this town, notwithstanding . the in- clemency of the weather and extreme cold, very well attended. The addresses delivered were excellent; and in all the meetings a fine, christian spirit was mani- fested.

If Mr. Fitz. maurice is guilty of a crime charged ogninst him--and Judge Burnham pro- nounced hini so -- then a more unjust scafence was never on any man in this Province. ; ee E--------------m-- IY Annual M of the BE.

Last Sunday, P. H. Thornton occupied the chair. The Rev. Mr. Huiten delivered an energetic address, dwelling mainly on the pernicious use of tobacco and the benefit of temperance organization. Mr. Edward Carswell followed with a short address, relating in his'own peculiar man- ner a few incidents, old and new, much to the amusement of the audience. It is ex- pected that Rev.

Being men of business Capacity, the new field will give 4mple scope for their "energy, and under the careful supervision of one of themselves will dgubtless prove profitable, besides the connection formed with the commer. cial centre of Ontario will give them such advantages in buying and selling that our community must share in the | benefit.

Several titions were presented ; one by Mr. Farewell, from A. 8 Whiting and others, for amendments to the laws relating tojthe Hygienic System of Medi- cine. * The debate on the address was resumed. the items were di d bers on both sides, and all passed. Mr, Bethune made an able speech, in which he defended the action of Atty.- Gen, Mowat in accepting office, and elogi- zing him (Mr. Mowatt) in the highst terms. Some remarks from the ition side of the House,in reference to the late sales of timber berths, brought Mr. Scott, to his feet, when he gave a somewhat lenthy and satisfactory statement in reference to the same. The discussion being carried on to considerable length, Mr. Farewell said as they hoped to get away in the spring they were not going to take up time by talking, but would wait till the actual work -of the i d Edward 8, Stokes. . ---- CONDUCT OF TNE CONDEMNED MURDERER IN THE TOMBS -- MIS DEMEANOR AND SURROUNDINGS-- VISITORS AND FRIENDS, Stokes did not arfwe frcm his bed on Wednesday until about nine a.m. He told his friends that he had slept well. He appeared to relish his breakfast and read e newspapers as uspal with interest. The cell he now occupies is No. 4 on the ground floor, and is thejone which hns for years been alloted to those who are con- demned to death, and is by no means so cheerful as his old cell, which was on the upper tier in the prison and was hand- somely furnished. The walls were paper-. ed and hung with a variety of pictures, selected to please the taste of the prisoner. The floor also was ted, and a com- fortable bed and bedding,' chairs, table, books, and little articles of luxury were provided. Cell No. 4 looks bare in com- parison. The walls have been white- washed, and the prisoner has been allow- ed stable, a couple of chairs, his bed and bed-clothes, a narrow strip of carpet on the stone floor, books if he desires them, and this is all. Real and Reynolds, On mosion of Atty.-Gen. Mowat a committee was appointed to draft an address to His Exellency The House adjourned at 12.10. £ Monday, 13th. Among the petitions presented. were those from Hon. Atty.-Gen. Mowat, Mr. Harrington Mr. Cook, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Scott, (Grey) Mr. Monck, and Mr. Clarke (Norfolk), praying that an Act may pass to prevent the manufacture sale of intoxicating drinks. Several Bills were introduced and order- ed for a second reading on Thursday. Mr. Macdonald meved for any Orders in Council or co nee yelerri te the candidature of certain Ontario (de ernment officials for seats im the House of Commons. The gentlemen svecified were : Mr. Bell, the , So he for the South Riding of Lanark; Sheriff Mckindsey, of Halton ; Sheriff Powell, of Carleton ; and Mr. McLellan, Inspector of High Schools, who sought election for West Toronto. He thought it exceedingly improper that Sheriffs and other officials should take part in politics. Attorney General Mowat said he was gladto find his hon. friend advocating views which the party of which he was now the leader in this House had always contended for. Mr. Medonafd said that the treasurer, when Atty.-Gen., had issued a circular to County Attorneys on the subject. . Mr. Crooks said he had intimated to one of the County. Attorneys that, in his opinion, if he became a candidate it would be necessary for him to resign his positich as County Atterney. Hon, E.B., Wook observed that the public question under discussion was a very grave and important one. Several petitions were by Mr. Farewell, others of Whitby resented ; one the Ist Conesssion of the Township of East Whitby, and lots Ne. 18, 19 and 20 in the 1st Concession of the Township of Whitby, as they now are, and for properly defining the same. A number of petitions were presented, praying that the manufacture of intoxicat- ing liquors may be prohibited. The orders of the day being called, Mr. Macdonald said that it was usual, when Ministerial changes took place during the recess between two sessions, that explana- tions from the Ministry should be given to the House. Hon. Mr. Mowat said that the explana- tions which he had to make were extreme- ly few, and he was not aware that they embraced any facts that were not already known to hon. gentlemen. He mi state that it was on Tuesday, the 22nd of Oct., that he was first addressed on the part of his friend Mr. Blake with respect to taking the position, if he should be requested to take it by His Excellency, which he now occupied ; that he was not prepared to say immedi. tely that he would decline in case he rhould be called upon to form a Gov- ernment ; but at the same time he felt very great reluctance to abandon the posi- tion which he then held, which was ex- tremely congenial to his tastes, and which was a position which when he assumed it he expected to occupy for the remainder of his life. There ware, however, impor- ta: § public considerations to he involved in the matter, and he did not feel at liberty to allow personal considerations to influ- ence him entirely to the disregard of those of a mare public character. He had told Mr. Biake that he would give his best con- sideration to the matter, acknowledging the great importance of the suggestions that were hd 1 to him,and that he would endeavour to make up his mind by the following day. Immediately on the return of His a. , he believed, from New Brunswick, Mr. Blake waited upon him on the 22nd Oct., and tendered his resigna- tion. His Excellency asked Mr. Blake whom he should send for, which, as the hon. gentlemen knew, was in accordance with practice, and was proper for His Ex- cellency to do, although, at the same time, he was under ne eonstitutional obligation to accept any suggestion Mr. Blake might make. His Excellency was informed at the same time that Mr. Mackenzie per- emptorily declined forming one of the new Administration. Mr. Blake, in answer to His Excellency's request, asked to be al- lowed until the following day before giving a reply. Before he had seen His Excel. lency the next day he again called upon him (Mr. Mowat), and the answer which he then gave him was that if His Excel- lency chose to call upon him he would en- deavour to form a new Government. On the same day, the 23rd Oet., in the after noon His Excellency had sent for him and had stated to him his wish. He gave no To the Editor of the Ontario Reformer : Dear Sir,--In answer to the communi- cation of *' Subscriber," in your isu; of Jan. 3rd, 1 wish to state that nothing has been done, that I know of, towards a set- tlement of the prizes for the race on Jan. 1st, 1872. As far as [ am concerned, I id over to the treasurer, on the morn- ing of the race, every dollar that was col- lected. At the same time I gave the secretary the subscription list, on which was subscribed the sum of $65.. Out of that Since I collected 5%, which sum 1 paid to the treasurer in the presence of two of the judges, and marked his sub- scription of $5 as paid on the list, which was equivelent to giving him $35. It was than and there agreed that we should give $5 for the *" hack race," and $60 for the ¢' open race," and to make that sum good I gave my check fur $20, making the amount $85. I gave this providing 1 could collect the balance of the subscription. The subscription I have never collected, nor diate , but requested a short period for consideration. In the mean- time he | t it right to send in his re- signation, immediately afterwards he pted the mission with which it was proposed to emfrust him. Subse- quently he from received a te tawa stating that his resignation would be accepted, as a matter of course, on the 25th Oet.; Friday, he was sworn in as a member of the Council, as was also Mr. Pardee, whom he had associated with him in the Administration. Mr. Pardee was on the same day sworn in as Provincial , and Mr. Crooks, who had pre- the At -General, was , is Excellency, on Mr. Blake tendering his resignation, had requested, through him, that the other tinue to hold their offices in the meantime and he (Mr. Mowat) soquiesced in that arrangement so far as related to' M.

Subsequently, pS the 31st Oct, he was sworn in as Attorney have I one cent of the money sub- scribed in my hands since the ulrning of the race; and as I did not collect the money I consider that I have no right to y the amount of that check, seeing that have received no value for it.

He (Mr. Wood) fully concurred with the mover of this resolution that it would be very -unfortunate if we were to have a rotation of officers, as in{the United States, but the House might mark his words that if a Government like that of Ottawa were to remain long in power, if at every gen- eral election this whole army of locusts of Egypt that was eiingup every green thing in the country from Halifax to Esqui- mault were to be thus made use of, he could tell them that hess the Liberal 0 into power they wou precipi- rnd a very thing which hon, Ri of the Tory y professed to deprecate.

Ladder, the slunderer; joined in the discussion and stated that land valuators of the Ontario Government had every- where been conspicuous for their zeal in the interest of Reform candidates. He mentioned the case of one McRae, who he (Lauder) said had received a létter from Mr. McKellar urging him | ilcRacgts do his best for the Opposition. | Grecian n the course of the debate it was shown | that, when the Commissioner of Crown Lands heard of McRae's proceedings he concelled his appointment ; and that Mr. McKellar had never written to McRae. A letter had, it is true, been written by Mr. McKellar to another gentleman in the county, and this, having been sur- reptiously appropriated by the Jackson party, had been made to do duty in the way Mr. Lauder described. So the great McRae scandal was found, after all, to turn out to the advantage of those it was conningly supposed would be damaged by its invention. Mr. Prince pointed out that if'there had been any undue interferenee it must be laid to the charge of the men who, at Ottawa, rejected the measures that would have protected the electors in the free choice of their representives, and openly declared they would rely on corrupt prac- tices to secure apmjority. Mr. Robinson'had a good deal to tell of the proceedings of Government officials at Kingston. Mr. Wood said that all the employees on the Welland canal had voted for the Dominion candidate. Mr. Lauder said that many of them had voted for Mr. Thompson. Mr. Wood--That is about as true as the Proton charges. (Laughter).

Among the most terrible incidents is that of a 'man who went for a doctor to attend his wife, and was frogen to death on his' way home. The next day when the doct g other murderers, have passed un- easy nights in the same place. Three meals every day are furnished the prisoner by the Matron of the institution. He is iveh whatever kind of food he asks for. esterday. he was allowed to walk for exercise for some length of time in the corridor in front of his cell. There were a large number -of people who came to look at him during the day. Some of them were people living 100 miles away; | #®ho had become familiar with and inte- rested in the details of his crime and trial, and who came to gratify a morbid curio- sity. Many of the visitors are well-dress- ed females. Some Lhe latter, in aa upper gallery, while Btokes was ing the wk corridor, called to him By Rae mick name of '""Ed.," and otherwise tried to attract his attention. When he looked at them it was with indifference, and some- times with a sardonic smile. Carefulness in dress seems to be a second nature with the man, and his attire yesterday was, as it always is, scrupulously neat. To. look at him, the ordinary observer would .not detect much physical change in him. His keepers, however, have remarked a con- siderable alteration in his appearance since the unexpected verdict of the jury. | He appears to them like a. man making a strong effort to act a part. They observe an increasing pallor in his face, and parti- ally 1 dejection. But few murderers who have been in- carcerated in the Tombs under sentence of death have been executed at the time first fixed by the Court. A year generally asses before they are brought to the gal- ows. Real spent two years in prison before his doom was sealed, and Foster has been twice sentenced. Stokes is believed by his keepers to be bolstered up by the belief that a stay of proceedings will be obtain- ed. His council are still steadfast to his fortunes. Mr. Tremain's associate, Mr. Townsend, visited him yesterday, and con- versed with him for some time. Several clergymen also called, among whom were Revs. Mr. Smith, Dr. 'Montgomery, and Dr. Schumaker, of Sing Sing Prison. The latter had a long conversation with him. Stokes told his keepers that he did not wish to receive any visitors except his relatives and most intimate friends. No strangers except reporters, were admitted to talk with him. He greeted his friends in his accustomed manner, but with a shade more of care and anxiety than be- fore his removal to Cell No. 4 Ve naturally he is not as well pleased with his present as with his former accommodation. He has, however, but little to say on the subject. - His father, mother, and sister did not visit him yesterday. His brother Horace remai around the prison pre- cincts all day in attendance uw his un- fortunate Eeiative, wud exhibited more igns of distress than prisoner. _ I carefully watch pin a who 1s allowed access to: Stokes, and it would appear that great care is taken to prevent him from becoming possessed of anything to inflict' injury upon himself. Acting Warden Finley is doing everything in his power to make his charge as ortable as is consistent with the p! regula- tions. A Fraternal Visit. (San Francisco, December 28) Some ten years ago two brothers left their home in Illinois and came to Cali- fornia. The elder was a man of the most steady habits, .who b 'received a tho- rough business educatidn in' his native State, and who had made.up his mind to rosper. in the new country he had chosen, e other wasinclined ta be dissipated, and had figured in so many scrapes at home that he stood in very bad 'odour in the village. The brothers lived together for some time in San Francisco, while both looked for situations. The younger bro- ther, however, fell into bad ¢ompany and bad habits, and after a few months they separated by mutual consent.! The elder obtained a sifuation in a wholesale store as porter, and by his diligence and steadi- ness soon worked himself into the confi- dence of his employers. Of his brother he saw but little. One day a note reach- ed him from'his wild relative, who was confined in the city prison on a charge of petit larcency. He bailed him out and employed councel to defend him... Though circumstantially evident that the prisoner had committed the crime alleged, yet the actuel proof was so meagre that in his trial at the Municipal Court he was acquitted. The elder brother now renou- nced the criminal slsopuehes, and until Christmas Eve they had not met for near- ly ten years. Advancing rapidly in the esteem of his smployers the industrious young man soon found himself in the re- ceipt of a good salary, and gradually rose to a partnership in the firm which he had entered as store-porter. He purchased a house on Bush street, married a lady with a considerable fortune of her own, and on last Christmas he saw three bean-. tiful children arvund him to enjoy the wonders of the Christmas tree. That night the family retired about midnight. Towards two o'clock in the morning the gentleman heard a noise below stairs, and moving quietly vut of bed stood at the head of the stairs to assure himself that his suspicions of lars being in the house were correct. e gleam of a candle in the parler assured him, and re- turning to his bedroom and arming him- self he crept down stairs to capture the thief. He had proceeded so cautiously that the burglar was not aware of auy one stirring in the household, and when he reached the parlor door he saw a man en- deavouring to pry open the buffet where he kept his silver. Levelling his revolver at the thief he shouted, "Stop, or you are a desd man," and he had the burglar completely at his mercy. The "Jimmy" dropped from his nervous hands, and the gentleman was advancing to secure him, when to his infinite horror, he perceived that it waa his younger brother whom he had thus detected in the act of crime. Both stood motionless for a moment, and then the unfortunate wretch, dropping on his knees, cried out: " As God is my judge Robert, I did not know that yau lived re 1" The other bélicved him, and bid- ding him sit down, asked him what could have led to the commission of such a crime. "Twas the old storey.

Noticing that persons sick with the small-pox were often visited by flies, he placed near an open window of a hospital a saucer filled with glycerine. Soon the flies gathered and were caught like birds with glue. In their endeavours to free themselves, all the foreign matter which had adhered to them was left in the glycerine; which was at omce submitted to observation with the microscope. It was found that the glycerine, which was chemi- cally pure when offered to the flies, was full of strange cells very similar to those seen on persons attacked by small-pox, but never on flies, --a discovery which proves sotwlusively Shad these insects are not only filthy, but can be a very dangerous means of spreading contagious diseases. : Tue sndden death of the ex-Emperor Napoleon took every-body at: Chisel. hurst, as well as at London, by surprise.
