requisition to become a candidate for the Legisine tive Assembly of the Province of Quobcc, to represent this County, I beg to state, that I thank you\" exceedingly for the honor you have conferred upon me by this very gratifying mark of your confidence, and that, after due consideration, I have decided to accede to your solicitations and to accept nomination.The promisc of support from all parts of the County, as contained in your requisition, leads me to believe that I will be returned, and, should such be the case, I need hardly assure you that I will fulfil the duties of the office independently, honestly, and to the best of my ability, and that my earnest endeavour will be to forward the interests of the County at large, and thus mect with your approval, I havo the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, ALEXANDER CAMERONT° THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF HUNTINGDON.Gentlemen :\u2014In seeking your suffrages for the Legislative Assembly of the Province, I do so in a manner and under circumstances different from those I anticipated or desired.Having been requested by cading men in every part of tho County to come forward a8 a candidate, I desired that the choice should be left to representatives from the different localities, in whose decision I would cheerfully acquiesce.Being informed, however, that an active canvass had been begun, and that many were pledging themselves to others, in the belief that I would not be a candidate, my friends strongly urged upon me the necessity of acceding to their request at once, although such speedy action was averse to my sense of what was due to the memory of your Iate member: with whom I was on terms of personal friendship to the last, 1 wish to state my views briefly on some of the leading subjects likely to come before the Legislature, as 1 have no desire to conceal my opinions from you.I will dlways advocate retrénchment and greater economy in the public expenditure, the abolition of uscleag offices, end the application of all available funds to advance the best interests of the country, Having always taken a decp interest in the cause of education, which I consider one of the most vital to the welfare of the Province, my best efforts shall be directed to its encouragement, and to secure a more equitable and just distribution of the public money, 80 that the grants may be more in proportion to the amount of work actually done, and the value of the instruction imparted, , The gradual curtailment of the grant to the Hunt- ingdon Academy shall receive my attention, and I will eave nothing undone to secure for the Institution the apport la merits demand, ving devoted a largo share of attention to the Municipal Code, I shall do alt in my power to assist in such 8 revision of it, as will make it more simple, uniform, and easily worked, and to remedy those defects on experience has made apparent.In this, as in 9 er maiters, I decm it of the highest importance to and a well digested and consistent scheme of reform.Tot isolated and ill-considered amendments and a hares made without reference to their bearing on et portions of the law, which only lead to further contradictions and confusion.\"J Shall also support a more stringent Election Law, bt ur increase the number of polling places, wd if elections on one and the same day, prnish order Possible prevent

PATENTED Sept.2, 1873.Price, $8.00.Out of the hundreds of Washing Machines contrived by American ingenuity within the past twenty-five years, none have been found to answer the full requirements of a Washer, until the introduction of \u201c THE WALKER WASHER!\" [It performs its work on scientific, Philosophical and common-scnee principles.Simple in construction, easily operated, it saves time, money, and drudgery of © Washing-Day.\u201d It saves clothing, and insures efficiency and clean clothes.The machine is but a little larger than a Wringer, and it is attached to a common tub in such a manner that it can be easily and quickly taken out.The frame of the Machine is made of galvanized iron, and is so constrgoted that the bottom can be extended to fit all Bize tubs.Inside cf | this frame are three rollers ; two small ones are provided with rubber rings, so arranged that the clothes run over the rings.They entirely prevent the clothes from getting caught in the rollers, and also prevent breaking buttons.The large roller to which the crank is attached is fluted, and in the end pieces of the frame are arranged coiled springs which bear on | the journals of the large roller and produce the pressure on the clothes as they are passed between the fluted roller and the rubber rings on the small rollers.In washing, the clothes are passed rapidly between the rollers, and the pressure exerted by the springs forces the water through the clothes.The Washer is warranted for 5 years, and so easy of operation that after a few moments of instruction a child of ten years old can do the washing.It is compact, a child can carry it and never gets out of order.No delay in fitting it to any size tub.It works wholly on the principle of pressure ; does not wear the clothes in the least, being no particle of rubbing or friction in its working.It will wash the finest laces and the most delicate fabrics, or the heaviest carpets, blankets, or bed-quilte.It water boiling is used (which may be continually done, as you are not required to put your hands in the water) you need never to boil clothing to free it from stain or bleach it after using the Little Washer., DANIEL

dirt, grease and stains from clothing, and bleaching them white.Paper makers have for many years used steam in cleaning and bleaching their rags, and they succeed in making, by its agency, the filthicst pickings from the gutter perfectly pure and white.Until the invention of the Steam Washer, or Woman's Friend, although often attempted, no method has been discovered of applying steam directly to the clothing, which could be used in a profitable manner for domestic purposes.The Woman's Friend washes without labor, It will do the washing of an ordinary family in about 30 minutes to an hour, Tho Steam Washer is superior to all other devices, for the tollowing reasons : let, It does ita own work, thereby saving a large portion of the time usually taken in a family.2d.It uses much less soap than is required by any other method.3d.It requires no attention whatever while the process of cleaning is going on.A lady can do hed washing while she is eating her breakfast and doing up the breakfast dishes.4th.Clothing wears double the time, washed in this Washer, that it will washed by a machine, or by hand-labor, or à wash-board.5th.Lace curtaing, and all fine fabrics, are washed in a superior manner.For Flannels this Washer is most desirable, as it will not full them as machine or hand rubbing does.All fabrics, from the finest lace to a bed-blanket, can be washed perfectly, and with ease, without the rubbing-board.R.A.COWAN.Huntingdon.NEW GOODS ano NEW PROPRIETOR \u2014AT\u2014 THE OLD McCOY STORE, HINCHINBROOK.W.H SMITH EGS to inform the inhabitants of Hinchinbrooke and

praying that no licenses be granted, and signed by 8,303 of the women of that city, ap before tho Licensing Court to present it, when one of the ladies, Mrs Inglis, spoke as follows in support of it.Mrs Inglis said\u2014In presenting your Honors with this petition, allow us a few words in support of it in the name of the women of our town, a large town, a large numberof whom are so doop\u2019y oppressed by the curse of thd drink trafflo.\u201cSirs, the unutterable woes of the drunkard\u2019s wife and family, and tho horrors of a drunkard\u2019s eternity are such that if there were only one drunkard in our town would it not be well worth our while as a community to combine ourselves for his sake to rid us of the deadly snare?But it is well known to you that our drunkards are not in units, nor in tens, butin hundreds, may we not say thousands in our midst, and the aggregato misery involved in this can only can only be grasped by an infinite mind.Sirs, is it not tho drink traffic that is the manufactory of drunkards?and as long as it is there it will go on producing them, and the number will just be in pro- rtion to the number of licences yoa grant.What makes the case of the drankard'a wife 80 hopoless, is that she has no redress.Her husbaud spends the wages she so soroly needs in the publican\u2019s and then that publican takes them in exchange for that which turns him either into a raging madman ora maudlin imbecile, and thus he lands in his wretched home with empty pockets, and either a terror to his family or a loathsome aonseless mass, Sirs, wo would respectfully ask you to leave your comfortable homes on Saturday evening especially, and come and judge for yourselves whether or no this picture is overdrawn.You are so implicated in this matter that surely we have aright to ask you to do this.Come down, we say, and judge for yourselves of tho state of our streets and homes on a Saturday evening.Yon will see scenes of unutterable horror that will make you glad to hasten bome to your quiet, comfortable dwellings.But, girs, whero can we, your petitioners of the working-class, flee to hide ourselves ?We and our children must see and hese and suf for without redross.Oh, the tyranny, the bondage, the heavy yoke that the Devil has dubbed with the name of li 1 And it is not wives only, but mothers, alas! that must, with aching hearts, see their sons and daughters being sucked into the fearful vortex.Young men and young women, boys and girls, think nothing with their wages in band.of going into the publican\u2019s for their dram on their way

members expres sed themselves as unfavorable to Mr.Jenkins, on account ofhie being unfitted for the ition.Mackentie said the Dominion had & numher of agen scattered over Harope, and feit they needed some one to look after them.The Government also propessd that Mr Jenkins shouid have an office centeraily situ - ated, where Canadians in london could obtain information and inspect books of reference and news- pers.The suggestion for the establishment of such & buresu was not à new one, and they had no hesite- tion in acting upon it.Mr Jenkins would look after general Interests of the Dominion.Bir Joha®A.Macdonald said be was glad to hear thas Mr Jenkins was not appointed as an ambassador.T be iden in this country general was that bis pogl- tion wae as nearly that ao sm! 48 OUP COB- gection with the mother country would permit, He supposed that ides arose principally from the tone of Mr Jenkins\u2019 own specch to bis constituents at Dundee.Sir John said that speech was offensive in tone #nd expression to the Diseseli Ministry and likely to prejudice them against Canada.He hoped that no negotiations with the Im 1 Government, io which the Government ho, to be successful, would be placed in Mr Jenking\u2019 bands ; and, indeed his own opinion was that the sppointment shoatd have been as an emigration agent snd agent for gen- oral matters alone, without any connection whatever with political matters of high importance.The appointment of colonial #gents bad been found to work detrimenta 'a against some of the tralisa cflonies, and was afraid the same thisg would result with regard to Cassada.Mr Mackenzie said the right bon gestieman would not expect him either to defend or blame Mr Jenkins for the Speech referred to.It was made entirely ap- on his own reshonsibility ss a member of the British House of Commons, and in no way connected with his capacity a: Agent-General for Casadé.Me.Jenkins was selected as Agent-Ge for Cennds in the firat instance, because vas n Canadien and living in England ; because be an Intimate ksow- ledge of Canads acd everything relating to it, and also of England and everything relating to- it, ead ospeeially of smigradon masters.LA was » compleiat that reasbed the Government from all qancters, ie residents of the United Brates went to London, tould, through the American ambassador, get facre- duetions anywhere, while Canadisse werd NDS wpos as British cabjonts, and pot entitled > opbuiet Lj Thot was to some extens : fans wees 2 mach smo wee ve shock ap tes ue te introdece them, and soch an cffice ae ot accommodation.He did net antisipate that any evil results id follow the tons of Me Jenkins bat I thers was s Pie appolateumat, oo in United States people, and the Government to jrgarepte cœvnnnets cvnue, te Ay he lum of the which ft, which, upon expériehce mo des psa - = RT RT ERAT TE MERA lS ES | JE SUR SR Let on Gn nae .x i To 3 - - = * Ie om \u2014 se a | - Att ST \u2014 : \u2014 mtainol 20 NAMB wogian ship Harold Haarfargen ; also sink.the lettor, as is proved by the following!

The debate was adjourned.BREAKING UP OF THE iCE-BRIDGE AT QUEBEC.Ar twenty-five minutes past three o'clock on Friday the ice-bridge concluded to leave, and moved off accordingly in n very majestic manner with the tide.The steamers Rescue and Prince Edward, both belonging to the St Lawrence Tow-Boat Company, had been working since Wodnesday in trying to clear a channel across the river, and but a strip of ice not wider than the length of the Rescue remained to be cut through when farther efforts to separate the floating mass became unnecessary as it commenced to move off.The Prince Edward at once made the best of her way to the whart af Levis, where she took shelter below it ; the Rescue also managed to got clear of the field of drifting ice by putt ng on steam and making directiy for Indian Cove, As soon ss it became known that the ice was on the move, tho crowds that had been watching the steamers ail day from Durbam Terrace and from all the wharves received a vast accession to their number.Tho good tolks in the Lower Town, where business had been at a standstill on account of the unusual de- the in the opening of navigation, became with excitement, and peo- plo might have been seen talking the matter over excitedly, or taking gigantic strides riverward to fonst their eyes on the long- wished for t.Picking up our hat we read frantically down to river, and sentiy find ourself on the wharf in the very mda!

addition, the Government are to be authorized The contracts giving the Government the power to take on paying the companies the amount of their outlay.There is no provision what ever as to when any of tho sections are Such is an Why should they bring down any scheme at all ?ls it a time to talk of building & road that evory insane projeot of tho old one.They wore put in to secure a reversal of policy, and if the reasonable expectations of the will ultimately be turned out of office.Mr Mackenzio's explanations why ho thus at.tompts to bring.back to life this Pacific monster, boding ruin to the country, will be awaited with anxiety.: EE Kuosz who talk as if it were in the power of Parliament to make Canada a great manufacturing country, have had, this -spring, vory tangible evidence of one insarmount- able barrier to the realisation of their wishes, A country which is sealed to the outer world for over six months ia the year by ice, can never compete with countries whose harbors are open every day jn the year.Supposing our factories depended solely on the home market, they would have to lay in a six months\u2019 supply of the raw material, thereby incurring a heavy charge which the manufacturer more happily.situated, snd who buys ae he needs, altogether escapee.But no Protectionist can defend the imposition of high duties merely on the ground of keeping the home market a pri- vats preserve far a fow manufsctarers, The [argument of the Proteotionist is, Pat on | heavy duties and you will thereby faster our manufacteres inte such a state of per.even if Canada could manufacture as cheaply as England, she could compete with ber in the markets of the world.All she has to tell would have to be shipped in the summer, for the cost of transportation in winter would be out of tho question.The case would therefore stand thus.Would foreign countries prefor dealing with Canada, which year, or with England which ould shih to them whenover they wished ?This great natural impediment to Canada\u2019s commerce is constantly overlooked, and in Parliament and out of it we have people who assume that what is possible in more temperate countries is possible here.But the laws of nature cannot be reversed and it ia folly to imagine Canada cun ever become a manufacturing country.Certain kinds of manufactures we will always have despite any tariff.Goods, as certain grades of woollens, for which we bave the ruw material, will always be made here, as will implements and other manufactures too bulky or too fragile to bear ocean transportation.All other manufactures, especially thoso which require the raw material to bo imported or for which the demand is so limited that they can only be produced at a profit in places which command a large export trade, can never be established here to the advantage of the majority.To use the old Free Trade comparieon, oranges can be grown in Canada, but ii is better to import them from where they grow naturally than to build hot houses here.Tho prudent course to pursue, is to dovelope the industries for which our country is suited and to supply us with what it does not naturally or profitably yield at the lowest cost, without the addition of any protective duties.Tue permanent results of the financial crisis in the States are daily becoming more evident.Nothing has tonduced more to the progress of the Weat than the.extension of the railroad system, which has been effected almost wholly by English and other foreign capital.For the future it seems improbable that another dollar can be so borrowed.Since the crash of last Fall, over 70 railroad companies Lave failed to meet the interest on their mortgage bonds.The suffering and loss entailed on those across the Atlantic by this wholesale failure to meet their engagoments is a sad enough subject for contemplation, but it is obvious the gain will not be all on one side.If the Old Country people thus loso their money, they will lend no more on American railroad mortgage bonds, so that the capital necessary to extend existing linos and build new ones will not be forthcoming\u2014a very serious matter indeed to a new country which is worthless without rapid and cheap modes of communication.No doubt this dear-bought experience will bd forgotten in time, but the period when it will be is far distant.It may be said the lenders can foreclose their mortgages and take possession of the roads.This is true and would be done, were it not for the fact that nono of the roads yield any profit.Quite a serious accident oncurred in Franklin on the evening of the bth inst.It appears they two lads, Albert Smith and Andrew Hall, were engaged at some work near the woods of Mr M.A.Mills, and fancying that perceived some game, attempted to snatch up their fowling-pieces which were lying near them.Ono of the guns became, in some manner or other, entangled in the bush, and as young Hall imprudently jerked it towards him, it went off, the whole charge, happily light, entering at the point of the chin, tearing away the teeth and a portion of the left jaw and embedding iteelf in the fleshy part of the cheek.As soon as assistance could be procured, ho

and whom he attacked in a manner considered by many present so personal that Mr Ames and Mr Gordon, pro- tosted strongly against the etylo of his remarks.Mr Maclaren, who had not been invited to be presont but who was in attendance, was called on by a vote of the meeting to address them, which he did, replying eifectively to the Doctor's statements.On motion of F.Amos, Exq., seconded by F.Anthony E-q., a vote of confidence was passed in favor of Mr Maclaren, after which on motion of Dr Fergusson a vote of thanks wero tendered Dr Cameron for his address.On Monday evening the Doctor

STAFF OF LIFE IN ENGLAND.Tae Liverpool Daily Albion, in concluding à series of articles upon the corn trade of the port, gives tho following intorestin and suggestive sketch of the change whic has been effected in the class of food consumed by the working classes, and in their social habits : \u201cIt will appear a singular anomaly after the figures which we have given, respecting the grain trade of the port, to state that during tho past ten years there has been a remarkable falling off in the consumption of bread in Liverpool, and, we suppose, in most othor towns as well.In cvidenco we shall tule a particular district, but any locality of the town would suit our purpose.Mill street is the principal shopping street in Toxteth Parl, and has a large working-class population in its vicinity.Curiously enough, howevér, the number of bread shops in Mill street is tho same as fifteen years ago, whilo in the same period the number of butchers\u2019 shops has increased \"from seven to thirty.Nor is this all, for the trade of the bakers\u2019 shops has declined, while in some of the butchers\u2019 shops the quantity and quality of the meat shown are equal to the displays made in the foremost shops of the town ten or fifteen years ago.Then, in Upper ill street, between the end of Mill street and Windsor street, there were threo bakers\u2019 shops a few years ago; now there is not a single bread-shop, three butchers\u2019 shops having taken their place.We lave, in tact, to a great extent outlived the truth of tho saying that ¢ bread is the staff of life\u2019 Tt cortainly secms singular that the use of bread should have fallen off so largely, as bakers of great experience inform us it has done, while the consumption of butchers\u2019 meat has enormously increased, when the fact is taken into consideration that, relatively to other necessaries of life, bread never was so cheap and beef never so dear as now.The secret of the matter, no doubt, lies mainly in the great increase of the wages of the working men within the past few yoars, which enables them with their families, to obtain butcher's meat and vogotables, in place of the bread and tea and herring of former times.No doubt the change has tended to material comfort, and it will be well if the prosperity of the country remains ever such that the toiling millions of our population may never be compelled to return to the homely fare which they have forsaken for the enjoyment of comparative luxuries.The abundance and cheapness of vegetables has also, no doubt, something to do with the Jessened consumption of bread among the working classes.Nowadays our markets are abundantly supplied all the year round with vegetables, either of our own growth or brought by fast-sailing steamers fresh from the gardens and fields of the Continent.And whero is the man who prefers bread, and a herring to a juicy steak with potatoes and other vegetables ?Tho hardship, too, of the working man being unablo to go\u2019 home during the \u2018dinner hour is got over, to a large extent, by increased omnibus and other accommodation.For instance, a gentleman got into one of the dock omnibuses some little time ago, and found that nine out of ten other persons who wero passengers were carrying ot dinners.When the omnibus stopped he had the curiosity to follow two of these people into a public house.Ono of them opened the tin which she carried, and it proved to bo divided into three compartments, one of which contained meat and gravy, the two She next went to the counter and obtained a pint of beer far two- once, and then placed before her waiting usband as comfortable adinner as she could have givon him at his home.Altogether in this public house, on the occhsion refer red to, there were seventeen working mon enjoying hot dinners which had been brought to them by wife or child, and there did not appear to a couple of ounces of bread among them.Ten years ago the same men would have dined on bread, with sorae little relish added, but now they are enabled by better wages not only to pay for a meat dinner, but can afford the omnibus faro of the carrier.In the same way, the bakers complain that the retail trade in flour has fallen off, while oatmeal is scarcely over sought.Ono lauge firm in this town, of twenty-five years\u2019 standing, during the first seven or nine years of their, business disposed of from 1,500 to 2,000 loads of oatmeal a week, but during the last three years they havo scarcely had a load for sale, there being no demand.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MORE FIGHTING IN ARKANSAS, LITTLE Rock, Arr, May 8\u2014A struggle which cost at least six lives occu on Thursday night between two hundred color ed men of the Brooks party and some twenty-five of the Baxter men, who had embarked on board of a steamer for the purpose gies turidg some arms belonging tq the other side which were being conveyed down the Arkansas River.The Brooks men got.word of the steamer sont by Baxter to captare tho arms, and left by train for a point on the river where the vessel would ave t0 pass, whote thoy concealed themselves behind tho trocs and bushes on the bank.About 9 o'clock the steamer they waited for, the Hattie, hove in sight when t.Groves went down to tbe bank and Ca onlled oat sural ties to stop the bongpdrt thicker than water ; that the people of England have \u2014 sho steamed On faster and blew a distress whistle, Capt.Bam Heuston, in command of the boat, asked what was wanted, and was informed by Capt.Groves that he must turn the boat and return to Little Rock.A man on the boat applied offensive wae epithets to Capt.Groves, and a Bed i him, but he got behind à tros.Another Baxter man then rushed out from the cabin of the boat.The Brooks men then upened fire, and a fusilade was kept up for balf an hour.The boat had been carried by the current over toward.Brooks\u2019 men ; bat, during the fight got into another current and drifted to the opposite bank, the firing all the while being vbry brisk.A bole was shot through the steam-pipe, and the boat, drifting with the ourrent, reached the shore.The Baxter men, about thirty in number, rushed up the bagk and fled into the woods in all directions.A white flag was then hoisted Ly the mate of the boat, and the firing ceased.He msked Col.Brooker to send aid to the wounded, and skiffs, containing eight men cach, wore sent on board.The bole in the steam: pipe was plugged, and twenty-five men, under an officer, were put on board the boat to take her back to Little Rock.The casualties on the Baxter side were as follows : Frank Trimms, shot intho temple; died instantly.Sam Heuston, Captain of tho boat, shot through the lung.ounded \u2014Capt.Mayer, shot in tho breast and leg ; will robabl be dead in an hour.L.B.Leigh was shot in the leg.The mate, Ed.Heuston jumped out of the pilot-houso to get water for Heuston, and broke his leg.On the Brooks side, Jackson, colored, of Company

all the butter marketed, might be made, with proper caro and system, worth twenty per cent.more, and at actually less expense than itis now produced ; and something of this sort the buttermakers must do to compote with the artificial product.It can, in our judgment, be accomplished by the farmers adopting some ?an of co-operative butter- making, as is done by cheese factories.We do not say that the same plan may be suited to every locality or applicable to every section.Where the population is sufficiently dense, the regular butter factory, taking the milk directly from the firmer, may bo adopted.Where the difficulties of trausport.ing the milk are too great to admit of (his plan, the farmers might churn their cream and oarry the raw butter itself to a central factory to be manipulated by some such method as is proposed by the Dake process, by which all the different grades of butter could be thoroughly worked over, and a uniform quality and color obtained.Factory butter, like factory cheese, now commands an extra price.Washington, May 12.\u2014Thoro seems some prospect that the negotiations .now going on with a view to a new Troaty of Commercial Reciprocity with the
