MASON, Nov. Is This little place Is
not entirely exempt from exciting events.
We had wind last Monday night aud Tues.

eQualled In this section OF country. We
have had miniature tornadoes passing for
miles over q narrow strip OF territory.
leaving evidence of terrible force, but
such a wind "a this covering so large An
extent OF country, none of our Oldest peo-
pie have any recollection OF There was
no very extensive damage done in Mason,
Yet the wind LEFT It's mark. Barn doors
were blown In, hay-racks were demolished,
trees were uprooted aud broken of, AMI
much damage WAS done To groves and
woodlots. Samuel |. Mills had large lot
ofgrowing pine destroyed. Fences were de-
molished generally, hear OF much de-
struction of property in the vicinity Of
West Bethel. Charles Merrilrs chimney
was blown of, his windows badly broken,
and his fences scattered in every direction,
his family We're so frightened that they
LEFT the house in the night. II was a fearful
time for his wife aud little one. Mr.. Mer
rill WAS absent at the time. The heavy
plsnks, three inches thick, Were blown
from the meadow bridge aud carried some
distance. Levi ~ Bartlett's barn was
partly unroofed. The county road 10 front
of Nahum w. Mason's WAS entirely blocked
up with the tops OF trees II took Il long

A. =. Beans dry house near the G I. de-

rooted, and some OF his sheep were killed.

pine lumber In Bethel was very great, aud
the same may be said of Gilead. But will
not anticipate your live correspondents In
those towns. The Steam Mill Village
bears many visible marks OF the force OF
the tornado.
Winter is upon us. The ground is froz-
en- and covered with few inches OF snow,

Packing Co, took the assets and liabilities
OF Joness old company, and for two years
hiss done a profitable and satisfactory bus
iness. Now Jones comes forward and tries
again 70 assume control OF the business.
He slleged that Col. MattOcks had missp-

also hat he had made exOrbitant charges
for his services. The defense was so com
plete. showing that Col Mattocks had car
ri-d the Company along for two years on

the Company was still indebted 10 him,

THE CABINET Nv COUNCIL


A meeting of the Cabinet, we understand
was held ON Thursday last To consider the ad.
visibility, or otherwise, of calling special
session Of the Legislature during the time of
the proposed coronation. Now the constim.
tion provides, by Article rs, as follows: "The
King, by and with the advice OF his privy
council, convenes the Legislative Assembly at
the seat Of Government, OF at a different place,
il that should become dangerous from an
enemy, OF any dangerous disorder; and in
case il any disagreement between His Majesty
and the Legislative Assembly, he adourns, pro.
rogues, OF diSsolves it, but not beyond the next
ordinary session; under any great emergency
he may convene the Legislature to extraordi-
nary sessions"
1t has been held by some who wish to shove
up the foolery that is abou, to be consum-
mated, that Article 30 affords ample jus,ihca
,ion for the King to act his own discretion in
the matter OF assembling the Legislature ; but
there are happily few who would submit to
such an Interpretation. 1t is evident to any
thoughtful mind that the intention of the con
stitution is clearly that there should be regular
sessions held, and that special sessions should
NOT be called excepting they be made ntcfJsayy
by the occurrence Of some very extraordinary
and unforeseen event. 1t is generally under
stood that the proposed special session is for
the purpose of obtaining additional appropria.
,ions Of money in order to carry out the corona
hon, the appropriation already voted having
been exhausted. Upon this matter let us say,
that the present state OF affairs is no unfore-
seen contingency, bu, one that was anticipated
not only by the outside community, but by the
ministry themselves, and the speech Of J. Mott
Smith in opposition TO the coronation on the
ground Of the inevitable and enormous expense
it would involve, we'll fitted the occasion, and
will be long remembered as timely, temper
ate, but UNDECIDED opinion and argument. 1t is
also patent that members Of the last session
were promised that they should be called again
in February 1883, so that il the pretence of an
an emergency that the King and his Cabine,
sought and designed to create. The Cabinet
well know that so insignificant an appropria-
ton as $4,000 was altogether inadequate to
meet the expenses that would arise in carrying
on, the programme that they themselves had
made, and it was the knowledge and the an.
ticipation of an enormous additional outlay
that united the voice of the country against so
useless ceremony. Under the circumstances
We cannot wonder that even so servile min
istry as are now in Office should object to an
extra session. Let ii be, and we have no
more guarantee OF faith under the constitution
Of the land-one part SO openly and unjustif.
ably broken, all may follow.
