Euphrasia council has passed a by-law reducing the number of days statute labor per assessment. This is a move in the. right directiuu as the number of days statute labor to be perforated is becoming quite a burden. True the roades in many places need it all, yet the multiplied number of days to be performed does not generally increase the amount of labor performed farmers arc well aware. We hope to see other Municipalities follow Enphrasia's example. Obituary. George Jackbon, Esq., who died on Eriday last at his residence purham vas one of the pioneers of the county, was bom in Hutton. Yorkshire, Eng- land, in 1809. he came to Canada in 1844, and after carrying on milling business for several years at Colling- wood and Meaford, was appointed Crown Lauds Agent in 1848 for Grey and Bruce, removiug then to Durham He WHS district councillor for Bentick and Glenelg in 1849, and first Reeve of Bentick when the Municipal Act came into operation. He retained this office for a great many years by successive re-elections, and during the peroid of such incumbency he was Warden of the County of Grey for five years, three of which were consecutive He was the first parliamen ta ry repres • eutative of the County of Grey when it became an independent County and seperate electoral division. With the exception of but two or three"break8" he has represented either the County of Grey or one of the Ridings into which it has been subsequently divid- ed, ever since that time until 1882 when ho was defeated by the present member for South Grey, Dr. Lander- kin. The very long period during which Mr. Jackson discharged the duties of the most important represen- tatiye positions, carries its own comment as to his popularity. Dece- ased was ill but a short time, his wife a very esteamable lady and sincere christain, died just- a week previous to Lis demise, at the ripe age of 87 years They had no family, and had amassed a veay considerable amount of this worlds goodfl. The funeral (we un- derstand) took place on Sunday last. Taluable Importation. Mr. J. R. Tnmbule, of this village lias purchased from Mr. J. M.

Judging by the tenor of the recent cablegrams, it looks very much as though England and Russia were rapidly drifting into war, as they did into the Crimean conflict. In the opinion of many a struggle is inevitable sooner or later over the frontier question in Afghaniston, owmg to the steady advance of the Russians and their evident determination to extend their frontiers until they come in contact with the British nossessions, and menace the safety of India. The rumors of a native rising in the latter country fomented no doubt by Russian influence, increase the gravity of the situation. Apart from the immediate and osten- sible causes of disagreement, which in cases of this kind are seldom the real underlying motives which occasion war, there is one influential reason why Russia IS likely to provoke a conflict. The Czar's exopire is torn with inter- nal dissensions. Tiie spirit of discon- tent is spreading and Nihilism, though frequently suppressed, is sdways active and patieinftly watching its oppor-. tunity. A feregian war is the time- honored remedy of rulers for internal discontent., it seldom fails to distract the minds of the people from domestic topics, and to overwhelm the demands for reforms with the clamor of glory or revenge. Nothing is more likely than that the Czar may seek respite from a life of continual terror and apprehension by deliberately involving his country in a war with Britain at a time when the latter has already the difficult task of managing Egypt and quelling the Soudau rising on her hands. As to the Hindoos, it would not be surprising should an insurrection ou a large acale break out at any time. The English have done a great deal for India in introducing civilization,, preventing the recurrence of lumiue and pestilence, and suppressing bar- barous practices. But they have managed to get themselves disliked intensely owing to their insolent and overbeanng treatment of the natives, whom they never allow to forget that they are a conquered race. The people have long been disaffected, and thou^ to expel the English and submit to the sterner rule of the Rnssians would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire, it is not nu- likely that the ambitious schemes of Russia may find Biauy adhexents among the Hindooa simply because they are anxious to rid themselves of the English yoke. Present difficulties may be adjusted peaceably, despite the threatening' outlook, but there are all the elements of a fierce and bloody struggle for the snpremaey in Asia of the relations of England, Russia, and India, and about all that can be hoped for is a stavicg off of the final day of settlement. â€" xV«ur«.

Though it has long seemed to outsiderb that the Egyptian trouble was most serious, it has taken a most bloody argument to convince the English that such was the case. It does not look as if there were to be any half- measures, henceforward, m fhe present Egyptian campaign, and the vigor of the prepar- ations now going on indicates that the Mahdi is to be "smashed" inearnest.
