On Tharsday last we determined to visit Toronto and the first circnm- stance worthy of note was the delay of the morning train eight hours caus- ed by the breaking of an axel under the tender which happened before reaching Chatsworth. The train made the run from Maakdale to Toronto in three and a half hours and we were not a little surprised to see there good sleighing and nearly every vehicle ex- cept the street cars on runners. The following day rain poured down all day making it extremely disagreeable. CANADIIK PBESS ASSOCIATION. The winter session of the C. P. A. was held on Friday in the City JCouncil Chamber, and was thoroughly interest- ing. Able papers were read on vatious subjects pertaining to the "fourth estate" which was followed by practical, and we have no doubt prDfitable discussions. During tlie iitteruoon the Association listened to addresses of welcome from Mayor Clark and also from Alderman Dodds. Chairman of the Eeception Co.mmittee. The Mayor's speech was a glowing tiibate to the worth and work of jouinalism. Aid. Dodds also spoke tloquently, and extended in right hearty terms a welcome to his fellow j^^urualists of the province. Ou Srtur- (lay morning the absorbiug topic of cuuyersation hy all classes was the destructive fire of the preyious even- ing by which the University in Queen's Tiirk was left a mass of ruin. We cropped into Frank Porter's book Btore and found him doing a thriving business. Several orders of $100 and upwards were being filled for Me- chanic's Institutes in various parts of the province. We also found Alex, liani'.ah doing a rattling business. He is located on the corner of Welliogtou and York streets, the Wellmgton Hotel, just one block from the Walker House. Messrs. Bowes Luke are t-lso doing a thriving business lu the reul estate. Saturday evening found us asain at "Home sweet home." â€" The Ontario Government is to be asked to take steps to extend the operations of the Torrents system cf land transfer to the whole Province. â€" Toronto City Council has decided to abolish tax exemptions on real pro- perty except dwelling houses to tbe value of $600 and under. The Council refused to abolish the tax on income and personalty, â€" Miss Wright has heard from Mr. Mercier with reference to her appeal for protection in the pursuit to her evangelisation work in Hull. The Quebec Government will vindicate the authority of the law. â€"The municipal elections which took place in salt Lake City on Mon- day last are regarded as the most im- portant ever held in that city. Tije issue was a straight one between Mormonism and anti-Mormonism, and the latter won a signal victory, 'i'he Gentiles, or Liberals, claim a majority of 1,000, while the Mormons admit that they are beaten by 400. This is the second electoral defeat that the latter haye experienced in six months, and as the Government of Salt Lake city is now in the hands of the Gentiles it would ssem as if the days of polygamy were numbered in Utah. There is the more reason therefore to fear that an effort may be; made to transplant it into C anada.
