D A J Horsey and Dr Mark, of Ottawa ; and Dr Orton, M P.Alderman Moonry, Cliairman of the delegation, after stating the object of the visit, read the following resolutions :\u2014 Jiesoh'.idt\u2014That in the opinion of tho meeting, in order tho better to prevent disease and preserve human life, it is advisable that the Dominion Government should organize and sustain a uniform system of vital statistics for tho Dominion.Resolved,\u2014That as immediate action is necessary, the Federal Government bo invited to initiate at once a system of vital statistics, where organized local Boards of Health arp established, so that the statistical information may be utilized by these bodies.Resolved,\u2014That, as Provincial Legislative action is necessary, it is suggested to the Federal Government that it communicate with and secure tho co-operation of the Provincial Government to pass such legislation as will harmonize with and obtain the object of the preceding resolutions.Resolved,\u2014That it is desirable that a central bureau of statistics be established, and if found to be within the province of the Federal Government, a comprehensive system of health returns.Resolved,\u2014That inasmuch as it appears by tho British North America Act that matters of public health aro delegated to the Local Government, this delegation has not included it with the subject of vital statistics ; nevertheless they aro of opinion that it would have been better had it been under the direction of the Federal Government, and beg to suggest that an effort be made to obtain an amendment to the constitution in that direction.The last section was moved by Hon.Dr.Parker and seconded by Dr.Campbell.Hen.Mr.Pope in accepting the resolu-lutiona .declared that the scheme advanced in them met with lus cordial sympathy.He promised to do all in his poweç to farther it and he could promise also the os sistance of his colleagues towards the same end.Nothing, in fact, would be left undone that could in the smallest way serve the purpose of the memorialists.It was a question that was surrounded with many difficulties, inasma«:h as all matters relat ing to the public health were left in the hands of the Local Governments.The Collection of health statistics taken by some of the provinces had been a failure.The honorable gentleman ftdjpd \u201cit would always be a failure, because thp municipal authorities, to whom the work of gather ing statistics was delegated, could not be asked to thoroughly interest themselves in the matter without remuneration for the time they devoted in obtaining such statis tics as could be placed before the public with a knowledge of the figures being reliable.\u201d Sir Chaklkm Tcppeb followed with a few remarks of similar purport He, too, promised riud proposals of tho delegates would meet with the care ful consideration from the Government and they might be assured that Mr.Pope would not only do all he said, but a good deal more, to give effect to the requests ewbydied in the resolutions.Tho Minis ter of Railways further said :\u2014\u201cTho last resolution which they had submitted to tho Minister was an exceedingly good pna.It propounded for tho consideration of the Government a very serious question whether the importance of the subject jrould not warrant a change in the consti tution.could only say that the occa sion must be a Yô*y g*** W?\tSl,cl1 a step, but if there were any question that would warrant it, it was tbe one they were aseewiblod to consider.The matter of public healtrli and freedom from disease in human life was highly important.His honorable friend had been exjiending a good deal of money by bringing immigrants U1 the country, yet they had not been alive to the C^çt that thousands and tens of thousands were down for want of what they were that day endeavouring to establish.Health would ho the means of ineveQsin?the population.He believed that it was wett Forth the eujisiileration of the Government wliether they might ijot propose for the Governments of the vapiup* Legislatures in the Provinces toconsuit with the Federal Government so that both Federal and Liÿÿt Legislatures would have corresponding powers to enable them to co-operate, and \u2022not leave the matter purely confined to municipal authorities.In conclusion he touched upon the deep interest which thQ medical profession at all times took in matters relating to tho public health, and assured the deputation that nothing would be left undone either by himself or his colleagues in bringing about the success of that most important question which they had mot to consider.\u201d Sir Charles Tl'ppeu\u2019s references to the resolution proposed by Dr.Parker were pertinent and valuable, and shewed very clearly that he has seized the point which the delegation sought to impress.It is a grave matter, certainly, to even suggest a change in tho constitution, but no one will doubt that tho health of the community is a question of tho very greatest importance and moment, and as such it is fully entitled to consideration.Hon.Mr.Carom also fully concurred in the views expressed by his colleagues, and promised his assistance in furthering the demands of the gentlemen present.After a few short replies were made to the remarks of the Ministers, the delegation withdrew.Later in tho day, the members held a meeting, and taking advantage of the presence in the city of so large a number of representative medical men, resolved to form a Sanitary Association for the whole Dominion.This body will seek to promote by its influence, the best principles of sanitary science and education, and to secure which a provisional committee was nominated.This committee is composed of Drs.Playter and Wright, and Aid.Taylor, of Toronto ; Drs.Marsden and Roy, of Quebec ; Drs.Botsford and Daniel, of New Brunswick ; Drs.Almon and Macdonald, of Nova Scotia ; Dr.Conroy, Prince Edward Island ; Dr.J.A.Grant, Ottawa ; Drs.Campbell and Mount and Aid.Fairbaim, of Montreal ;

to contest his own constituency, while at tho same time accepting a nomination in Mr.Greenway s riding.This is Mr.Norquay\u2019» statement of the reasons which induced him to thus bravely join issues with the leader of the Opposition :\u2014 \u201cAs I might construe my election as an evidence of support of my views, if elected in my constituency, and that if Air.Greenway were elected in his constituency ho would also be justified in believing that the peculiar views he entertained with regard to the powers of the legislature here were sustained by the people, and as he had licen kind enough at a previous meeting iu the town of Emerson to invite myself, with other gentlemen, to run in his constituency in opposition to him, I was very happy to inform him that his request, \u2019 backed oy a requisition extensively signed by the electors of Mountain, induced me to accept a nomination, and, not to be outdone in courtesy, I hoped that he would accept a nomination in my constituency.Thus, and only in that way, the electors would thereby effectually determine whose views should prevail and who should be entrusted with the carrying out of them.Mr.Green way, I may add, did not evince any disposition to accept the invitation.\u201d The significance of the results of the elections will be easily comprehended with the distinction between parties so clearly defined as they have now fortunately come to be in Manitoba.Quebec Central Bailway.During the last five years a great public work has been steadily going on on tne South Shore of the St.Ijawrenco, very quietly and unostentatiously, which is destined to make & great change in the face of the country through which it passes.We allude to the Quebec Central Railway, opened for traffic a few months ago from Levis to Sherbrooke, a distance of 139 miles.As few of our readers, probably, have been over this new road, a brief description of it may prove interesting.Leaving tho present temporary depot on tbe heights of Levis, seated in one of tho most comfortable of first-class carriages, the traveller is carried swiftly and smoothly southward towards the valley of the Chaudière, crossing the Intercolonial Railway at St.Henri, and passing in succession, through the level old settled parishes of 8t.Henri, St.Anselme, St Henedine, and reaching tho Chaudière River at Scott\u2019s station.Thence up the valley of that river, through one of the most beautiful countries which it is possible to see.A valley thickly populated, studded with old fashioned, comfortable farm houses, whose capacious barns give evidence of the productiveness of the soil.Through the richüporiah of St Mary\u2019s, with its village, or rather town, of the same name,of well built houses, and boaat'ngt of a magnificent church, built in cut stone, and large and handsome enough to bo the cathedral of a wealthy diocese.Thence through the parish of St.Joseph, until Beauce junction is reached, at a distance of 40 miles from Levi*.From tho junction a branch line of five miles is in operation to the village of St.Joseph, and some 15 miles additional are under construction to St.Francis.Leaving Beauce junctiou, where, by the way, an excellent dinner is furnished for a very modest sum, the main line crosses tho River Chaudière and heads inland for Sherbrooke, passing through the old parish of St.Frederic, and that more recently established, of Tring.From this point to within a few miles of Sherbrooke, a distance of about 80 miles, tbe railway passes through a country which until a year ago was an unbroken forest, a veritable wilderness without inhabitants.Tcvday the whole face of the country is changed.Clearings everywhere, and villages, stores and saw mjllj) at almost every station.At Broughton station there is a new village, built of Vau-Lee-louking houses, suggestive of New England.A( Robertson station, only just opened, ouite a nice village in the bush, and a gooci steam mill, owned by Air.Jos.Bolduc, M.P., hard by.At 1'hetford station a large business is coming to the railway from the asbestos mines, now being worked by a New York Company.At Black Lake another asbestos mine ia being opened, and promises well.At D\u2019israeli station three years ago there was one house.To-day there is a large village there, on the banks of Lake Aylmer, built in good substantial houses\u2014two storey most of them\u2014several good stores ; and apparently a brisk business being done in shingles, cordwood, ties and lumber.At Garthly station is another nice village, brand new, a fine steam saw mill, cutting for the United States market, a nice steamer to navigate the waters of the largo lake, and a good business going on in lumber and t^u bark.Near Dudswell station there are largo limekilns, connected with the railway by a branch line, which are said to furnish the road with 100 cars of freight per month.At Angers, twelve months ago, there wan an unbroken forest.To-day there is the beginning of a settlement, and there is also a sub stantial ada tant etripl it is said, furnish the railway with 600 cars of freight per annum.From Angers to Sherbrooke the road follows the many windings of the St.Francis River, and sharp grades give evidence that the railway, like the river, has a considerable hill to go down.At Sherbrooke the Quebec Central connects with the Grand ÿniuk, the Intercolonial, tfie Passumpsio, and the Waterloo and Magog Railways for all parts of Canada and the United States.Sherbrooke ia reaping the reward of the energy of her citizens in starting this and other railways, her population having increased from 4,000 in 1871 to 8,000 in 1881, and the business of the city in a corresponding ratio.Since the opening of tho Quebec Central no less than ten aaw-millfl, a pulp mill, and other industries have been established along the line.The effect of the opening of the railway upon the country through which it runs has been almost magical, and is a convincing proof of the benefits resulting from that great instrument of modern civilization.Within a very few years a large population will doubtless be established oloqg the line, where only a few mouths ago wan an1 unbroken wilderness.The same result is possible in other parts of the Provinca hitherto isolated, and particularly, we believe, north of Quebec, whore tbe soil, the timber, and the lower elevation continue to offer advantage* certainly quite equal, if not superior, to those enjoyed by the greater part of the new country traversed by the Quebec Centrai.The policy of tbe Provincial Government with regard to local railways has certainly proved kn unqualified success, and the case of this railway goes to shew that the policy of subsidizing roads is infinitely cheaper and better than that of building them.In this case the Province has received 1G0 miles of excellent, well constructed railway by means of a subsidy of about three-quarters of a million of dollars ; whereas to attain the same result on the North side of the St.Lawrence by building at the Government expense, some eight milllcns of dollars had to be expended.With regard to the road itself, although not extravagantly built, it appears to be a {;ood solid road, with a smooth track, excel-ent rolling stock, courteous employees, prompt time, and every evidence of good management.As a pleasure route it is bound to become very popular, and when the deepwater terminus at Levis is completed, and the various industries along the line fully developed, there can be no doubt that tbe Quebec Centrai will (jo an excellent business.It is only a pity that it ia not, by means of a bridge, connected with Quebec.' It would be unfair (o dose this sketch without a word of praise for the energetic promoters of this enterprise, and especially the Hon.J.G.Robertson, late Provincial Treasurer ; Air.J.R.Woodward, General Alan-ager, of Sherbrooke ; and Air.James G.Rosa, of this city.These gentlemen have done a great good to their province, and have built a monument to thair uamea, which will long survive them.HII\u2019art l)E»'k 1 AiAfi Lost.\u2014i^uulon, Dec.1»\u2014 Ship \u201cWalter D Wallett\u201d (Br), Stewart, at Liverpool from Three Rivers.Quebec, lost the greater pnrtii it «I her deck load on the passago.Bark \u201cAlarin Sophia\u201d (Ger), Lignitz, from Hamburg viiv Plymouth, for Wilmington, NO, has arrived off tho Isle of Wight leaky and with loss of sails, St.John\u2019s, NF, Dec 7\u2014P»iig \u201cKlizalieth Arc-Lea\u2019'!
