CLIFTON ITEMS.

Editor Register;
Thepass SIX months have been very un-
favorable to the growth and prosperity OF
our town, from the fact that during most
ofthat period, low water or ice has pre-
vented the Iron and Nail Mill Company
from obtaining material necessary to keep
the works in operation more than bali the
time, and for the same reasons no shipments
of nails, salt or coal could be made. thus
causing q general stagustion in business
matters. At this time matters look more
favorable, as the various works are in OPP
Grafton excepting some Of the coal works
which are at present merely supplying the
local demands
The accident to Mr.. Anderson did not
occur in thenines as stated in the Regis
Ter, but at the Nail Mil. Mr.. Anderson
was workiugat the rolls and attempted to
remove with bis foot, a small piece Of iron
aiherins to the rolls, and being perhaps
little careless, his foot was caught between
tue ponderous rolls aud his leg drawn in
almost to the knee, when a fellow-work-
man seized him and prevented him from
passing entirely through the rolls. Had
not the workman caught him before bis
knee entered tho roll nothing could have
saved him from q horrible death. AS it
was, be came out with foot badly crush.

The international prison congress, composed
OF delegates from all the leading nations of
Europe and America, has just closed its labors
in London, having been in session about two
weeks. number of questions In relation to
prison discipline were discussed, and much sta
tistlcal information OF interest presented. A
large majority OF the delegates were deeply i'm
pressed with the importance of temperIng jus
tce with mercy, and the wisdom of teaching
prisoners some useful trade, 30 that they can
gain an honest livelihood after they are set at
liberty. The Home Secretary OF Great Britain,
who was present. attributed the decrease of
crime in his country to the influence Of indus
trial schools and reformatories in cutting off tho
supply of criminals; to the phiIanthropic labors
or discharged prisoners aid societies. and to the
general diffusion Of knowledge. The question
whether prison labor should be merely penal or
industrial was under discussion during the SEES
sion, and the general judgment of the congress
was against the treadmill, and in favor of in
Gustrial labor for prisoners

England certainly nee DIS proportionalrepresen

England certainly needs proportionalr epresen-
tstion to remedy the infamous "rotten borough,
system, but as bad as it is there, it is worse in
Ireland. A statement made in the British
House of Commons abont the distribution of
voting power in Ireland is to the effect that the
franchise Is enjoyed by 10000 males, and
1,2so 600 men are deprived of the rights of cit-
zenshiP. Even admitting that every seventh
man is perfectly capable of representing at the
polls the views of another six who are disfran-
chised, 1t appears that the distribution of votes
Is still very unequal. There are thrty-one Irish
members of the House of Commons who repre-
sent but 1900 electors, and there are twenty
eight me mbers who represent 100 900; eight con-
stituencies with 2,c0O electors return the same
number of members as four constituencies with
AZ 600. and so on.
