One HUNDRED AND EIGHT YEARS OLD
Last evening at the poor-house in this county
Mrs Margaret Farrow, aged los years, breath
ed her last. She came to the poor-house
from Clayton in 1865, when she was 30 years
old. She has often repeated the story of her
life to those in charge of the institution, and
it has always been the same. In 1872 she
came from England to Montreal with her
husband, who was lieutenant in the English
army. At that time she was - years old and
was the mother of 10 children. Her children
grew up and scattered and her husband died,
leaving her to the charity of the people. She
said she had one daughter living at or near
Millens Bay. She was in good health always;
has never been sick since she has been
resident of the alms-house. About six
months ago her mind became weak, and
her whole system has since seemed to
slowly give away, till at last she died, because
the machinery was all worn out WdteTto.rn

The PRESIDENTS PoLIcY.--A Washington
special dispatch says the President, in CON
versation referred to the difficulties encoun-
tered during his administration, and pointed
out how it would have been impossible for
him to take any action which would have sat
isfed the entire Republican party He found
himself confronted with three questions of
great importance; one related to civil service
appointments. one TO the currency. and most
important of all, in his opinion was the
Southern question. Upon this question. ms
well as upon the others. it was necessary for
him to take immediate action; others could
talk and consider and criticise but he must
act. Concerning each of these questions
there was a large difference of opinion within
the Republican party, and whatever he did
was certain to meet with opposition from one
source or another He had no resort but to
act in such n way as seemed to him to be his
duty, and leave the wisdom of his action to
future demonstration. The President seem
ed to emphasize very strongly the point that
the criticisms and opposition which had come
from within the party were n necessary result
of his being compelled to act upon questions
of great moment, while others had only to
judge and approve, or condemn. which in
vOlved much less responsibility. He regarded
the Southern question as of immensely great
err importance than the other two because it
affected daily the peace and happiness of hun
dreds of thousands of people, both white and
black. In regard to the financial question he
remarked that if there were no President and
no Congress he thought the action of natural
laws would settle that question

peace and happiness, so early in our history
made the habit Of our people. finds in n sur
yey OF the past year new grounds for its Joy
full and grateful manifestations. In all bless
ings which depend upon benignant seasons,
this has indeed been memorable year. Over
the wide territory of our country. with all its
diversity of soil and climate and products. the
earth has yielded n bountiful return TO the Ia
Dor of the husbandman. The health of the
people has been blghted by no prevalent or
widespread diseases No great disasters of

on the seas have brought loss and hardships
to merchants or miners, and clouded the hap

sorrow. In all that concerns our strength

by the protecting providence of God, and is
full of promise and hope for the coming gen

legations to the Great Ruler of times and sea-
sons and events let us humbly ascribe it to
our own faults and frailties, if. in any degree
that perfect concord and happiness, peace and
justice which such great mercies should diff
fuse through the hearts and lives of our pco-
pie, do not altogether and always and every

one voice, lift up praise and thanksgiving to
God for his manifold goodness to our land
his manifest care for our nation.

Thursday the 20th day of November next as a

The first batch of New York liquor sellers
prosecuted by Rev. DIR. Howard Crosbys an
ti-dram shop society have been fined $50 each
by Recorder Hackett. who told them that if
they We're brought up again he should fine
them $3.50 each, and give them years i'm
prisonment The recorder expressed his cor
dial sympathy with the movement, and said
that drinking covered three quarters of the
crime in New York city.
The city of Brooklyn, N. Y, is in Kings
county, and charity commission has for
years had charge of the outdoor relief of the
poor. Recently, there has been an investi-
CATION by the State commissioner into the
management of the city board, and the fact
has transpired that since 1872 no less than
800, 900 has been expended in outdoor re-
lief five-sevenths of which was for groceries
and coal, and two-sevenths for the expenses
of its delivery In one district it appeared
that out of every dollar paid by the board of
supervisors for the relief of the poor, 81. IS
cents We're spent for distribution leaving less
than ID cents of each dollar to meet the wants
of those for whom the appropriation was in
tended. And yet the commissioner who thus
diverted the funds and robbed the poor OF
seven-eighths of the money provided for THEN
extreme needs is II candidate for reelection.
