The /Globe and the Mail affect to beliere that the Canadian Senate is the House of Curses. â€" Eyen the most pacific of the Great Powers, Britian is busy pur- chasing improved repeaters for its in- fantry and fresh mounts for its cavalry. We regaled this as more ominous than anything that has been done by the big bullies of the continent* When a man whose interests and disposition it is to keep the peace begins to roll up bis sleeves there is every prospect of a fight. â€" The United States Congress by the passage of the anti-Mormon BUI has inaugurated firm policy against one of the greateet danglers with which the Bepublic is menaced. Hitherto the action oi the authorities has been somewhat tardy, but the present measure, if it is put into operation, will, it is hoped, have the effect of iBweeping away polygamy. â€" Mr. Stanley starts from London witliin a week on his expedition to the North of Uganda, in Central Africa, to relieve Emin Bey, Gordon's lieuten- ant. He has chosen the Congo in preference to the Zanzibar route. His decision will surprise most people, but Mr. Stanley is the best judge, as he has travelled over both routes and knows tlie difficulties he will have to encounter by each. ttw aninial mofitms yna not laitge, but those present kok jkl^i^ymieEwi in the prosperify andmll being of the Society. • i^ .,,. i m The annual report showed ftbalance in; the treasury of $187,16, besides about 60 members ^ieh represented anothex $60, being{$50 in excess oi the surplus a year ago.

The sudden death of Mr. \rchibald ElUott, ex-deputy reeve of Artemesia on Friday evening last has thrown a gloom oyer the whole community. Deceased was in town on Thursday in his usual health, an d about 4 o'clock in the afternoon was suddenly The Ottawa Parliament was dis- solved last Saturday and the writs issued tor an election, nominations to take place on the 16th, and polling on the 22nd February. If the snow blockade would now dissolve we might expect a lively time. The reason given for adopting the course of dissolving the House instead of allowing it to die of old age, which it would have done in September, is that Parliament having widened its con- stituency by changing the franchise, no longer truely represents the people. The reason is a good one, and exactly that given by iVIr. Mowat for advising the Lieut.- Governor to dissolve the Ontario Legislature. The Conserva- tives, who found fault with Mr. Mowat and now upholds Sir John Macdonald, say that Mr. Mowat was not sincere in it, as a session of the Assembly had' already been held since the constitu- ency was ^widened. That was true, bnt the new election lists had not been prepared until just before Mr. Mowat made his appeal and conse- quently Le could not have appealed to â- the new consntuency earlier. Sir -John also saybthat the Dominion lists have just been completed. Sir John iias also given the regular servant-girl notice, just a month, in which he also -followed the example set by Mr. Mowat. The Liberals cannot, there- fore, complain of lack of notice, though lately they have been declaring that they need two months in which to get ready. The Conservative journals, which have been showing That it was extremely unlikely that :the general elections would be held immediately, are now showing quite as clearly that no other course but that of immediate dissolution was open to ' the Government, and that every body anticipated it. This sort of thing deceives nobody. Everybody nnder- Rtands that the Government of the day chooses the time for the general ieiections which suts its own con- venience and affords tiie best chanoq of success to iiiself. prostrated by an attack of biliary colic; he was immediately conveyed to the house of Mr. George Walker, his father-in-law and medical aid prompt- ly secured. For several hours he suffered intense agony, which was followed by prostration, and in SO hours from the attack death ended his sufferings. THE FUNSBAI. took place on Sunday afternoon to the English Cnurch Cemetry and was very largely attended. The departed haying been a mem- ber of the Orange body, the brethren from neighboring lodges tn rned out in large numbers to pay their last respect to their late lamented brothers 1 14 ot whom (all in morning) headed the cortege, led by Flesherton Brass Band, which played appropriate music The funeral service was conducted by Eey. Jas. Ward. This was we be- lieve the most imposing funeral that has ever taken place in this district. Deceased was an industrious and posperous farmer, an excellent neigh- bor and uuiyeisally respected citizen, a kind and affectionate husband and father, a man of honor and unques- tioned integrity, and we believe a conscientious christian. He was a member of the Artemesia council 12 years, 5 of which he was depty-reeve, some seven years ago he -was appointed a J. P. and in all his public as well as his social and private life his example may be iminated with profit. He leaves a wife (who is in a weak state of health, and may not survive this heavy afliotion) and 6 clulen, together with a large circle of friends to mourn his premature demise.
