The Goyemor-G«netal has appoint- ed the 17th of November as Thanks- giying day for the Donunion, and the desirability of haTiag a day fizrlier in the season chosen in coming years is being dis cussed in the daily papers. We cannot see any good reason why it might not be six weeks or two months earlier. People uxe generally in better humor for a tbanksgiying service in fine weather than in what we usually get in Nov- ember the objection is giving that the turkeys would not be in as good ae^ape for the table so early. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" The Northern Pacific railway extension to connect with the Red River Valley road will be complete! to th« boundry by the end of this week. The rails on the latter will probably not be laid until the financial question is settled, but the work is now in fuch a position that the road can be put in running order within a month after. â€" Hon. William McMaster, of Toronto, died at his residence Bloor St., last Thursday in the 76th year of his age. By his death Toronto looses one of her most prominent and most munificentcitizens, Mr. McMaster not only made money, but also made good use of it for the promotion of deserving projects. He was no unjust steward, but handled the wealth given him with a wise and liberal hand. â€" A Canadian woman was arrested fit Lockport the other day for smuggl- ing fans mto the United States. She had taken across the line 115 fans at a single load. Nothing would more ef- fectually depress theismuegling indust- ry than a prohibitory tariff on bustles. ^Vhile there are bustles there will be smuggling. Andjwbileithereare women there will be bustles. Perhaps we Bball first run out of tariffs. â€" Toronto is not only filling up her central busmess portions with magnificent substantial structures and her avenues and rural streets with handsome and costly residences, but is also enlarging her borders. She hasfrecently added Dovercourt and Seaton villages together with a suburb tract comprising in all between 18000 and 14000 acres. The city boundary now extends from High Park to the Humber-^a distance of nearly eight mil«8. â€"The Toronto Week hiti it about right in the following: "Without doubt, French-Canadian Separatism is a factor that makes most strongly Against the welding of $he seyeral provinces of the Dominion into a nation. The province of Quebec is a wedge between the Maritime provinces and Western Canada, splitting them asunder. For it is a foreign province having laws and institutions peculiar to itself, the seat of a people speaking another tongue, who pride fcemselves, not on being British citizens or citiaeng of the Confederation, but on being scions of old France, implanted and growing into a new France on Aitieri- causoil. The province of Quebec is tljcir country, not the Dominion of Canada though it is probable they will contmae to lend support to the Confederation while it in tarn affords sijelter to their ^owth as a nation, or rioes hot run contrary to any imtf^ynat Aspiration." Hartin Bmmxj hM hit thndung madiin* in zanning ozder •gain; he is ihzeshing st tiie "Ixub Lake." We have two happy men in onr Tillage at present; tbatisr Mr. Wm. Carney, whose better-half presented him with two g^ and Mr. Thos. Jack wbo reoaived an heiress to his fortune on Wednesday, we propose that tliese gentlemen oelsbrate the event by giving the boys a "spree." • Mr. Wm. Cook and Miss Eate Me- Nally, daughter of John MoNally, were united in matrimony on Sept. 14, at tiie residence of the brides father by the Rev. B. L. Hutton, as we did not get a "bid" we cannot give the pariiculrs, but as far as we can learn, everything was carried out in a satisfactory manner. The happy couple left on the evening train for the Toronto Exhibition and returned on Saturday to their future homo, where we hope they may long remain to enjoy health and happiness. /mportathms WHAT AM I TO DO. The BymptomB of BiUonsnesa are unhappi- ly but too well known. They differ in different individoals to some extent. A Bilious man is eeldoin a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for Uqnids bat ncno for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear in- spection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all OTonts. The digestive system is ^yholly out of order and Diarrkea or Constipation may be asymp- tom or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache ana acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure tty Green's August Flower, it cost but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.
