DECED
IBER 6, 1878. A year and a half have rolled away ; and the Dairy Examiner still lives.
Indeed it may now be truly said that the
ec
Darty Examiner is one of the ‘‘ institu-
tions” of the Province.
An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Dairy Examiner in the city, along
the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people could live without their daily paper.
Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Dairy Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.
Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Darry ExaMIneR, a daily telegra:n containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.
Through the Datry Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan,.in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother
ountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Dairy Exami- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Datty Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.
For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Damy Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.
The original subscribers of the Darty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Darty ExaMINnER would do well to subscribe now.
In connection with the Darry ExaMINER the Wreekty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

Matrimony.
Ah, blessed thought to contemplate
From happy youth to manhvod’s dawn ; Yes, happy stage from marriage date
Till the frail ties of time are sawn ; The joys of two are blended now,
And make the life of each more sweet, Two minds adapted each to each,
The cares of married life to meet.
In childhood’s pure and happy hours, With faith and innocence combined, In image thou was often seen ; Yes, ere thy name could be defined ; A few short years will come and go, The dreams of youth will ripen fast, Yea, now on manhood’s brink you stand, Anc now the consecration’s past.
Such is the fate of most our race,
‘The course which each young lover runs, None differing from the previous one,
ut strangely varied in their turns, The happy day is past and gone,
And tamily cares are to the fore, And each a trast in each repose,
Pray Heaven bless them evermore.
Dependent on those sanctioned ties, ‘The cares of family life spring up,
And, when the first-born is proclaimed, O’erflowing is the pleasure cup ;
As each few years pass o’er their heads Renew again this pleasant time,
Oh man! thou should at once proclaim Marriage ‘‘ with joy alone doth chime.”

OTTAWA.
A GRAND ILLUMINATION AND TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION.
(Special to St. John Sun. ) Orrawa, Dec. 4.
The members of the different deputations from Western Canada, at present in the city, despatched a message to Rideau Hall last night, expressing a desire to pay their respects to Her Royal Highness, and requesting the ap- pointment of an hour for that purpose. Ne 0 answer was received to this message, which was sent shortly after ten o’clock, beyond the announcement that Major DeWinton, the Gov- ernor’s Secretary, had retired. This morning asecond message was despatched, and after considerable delay an answer was received, which announced that the members of deputa- tions would be received at three o'clock. They accordingly went to the hall at that hour and was presented in regular form, H. R. High- ness and his Excellency shaking hands with each of the gentlemen present The Prin- cess was attired ina black velvet dress with satin bodice of same color, jet ornaments and black silk gloves. His Excellency and staff wore a plain morning dress.
The members of the English press were in- vited to dinner at Rideau Hall to-day, and considerable feeling is expressed in a certain circle at members of the Canadian and United States press, who accompanied the Vice-Regal party from Halifax, being ignored, several of them being still in the city.
To-night Ottawa is shining forth in all its glory, the weather being clear, and, although rather cold, on the whole favorable for the postponed torchlight procession. Being Thanksgiving Day, and consequently a_holi- day, citizens have had especial opportunity to decorate and prepare for the illuminations and their efforts in this direction reflected gen- eral credit on their good taste; some of the displays being exceedingly fine. A strong wind prevailed throughout the night and pre- vented many from putting out Chinese lan- terns, which would otherwise have been in far greater profusion. On Parliament Square a thousand lanterns and as many gas jets shone forth in all their refulgence, and as the procession passed under the beautiful Civil
description. Fifty men, stationed on the four towers of the arch, waved flags and torches, and joined in the enthusiastic cheers of the multitude, as the distinguished party passed beneath them. Among the best private dis- plays made was that of J. R, Andy, whose house and grounds were beautifully ijluminat- ed, while im front was an Indian wigwam, a couple of Indians in war paint and feathers, smoking the pipeof peace around the camp fire, adding largely to the effect of a very pics turesque scene. Nearly every street in the city had its share of transparencies, etc., while the leading thoroughfares appeared like streams of fire when viewed from the tewer of Parliament buildings. _ By 6.30 o’clock the torchlight procession was formed at the City Hall Square, and ac- companied by three bands, proceeded to New Edinburgh Bridge, which is half-way between Rideau Hall and _ the city, where they met His Excellency and her Royal Highness and _ suite, who rode in an open carriage accompanied by an escort composed of dragoon guards under Capt. Stewart. The Vice-Regal party having taken their position in the procession, the march through the city was immediately com- menced. ‘There were three hundred torch- bearers, priacipally firemen of the different city corps, who were in uniform. A large bonfire had already been started on a small ‘island near New Edinburgh Bridge, ard its lurid glare lighted up the eee neigh- borhood, and formed a magnificent background to the scene, as the procession started off. As the calvacade passed through the streets, throngs of ple waved their hats, and en- thusiastic cheering was kept up along the entire route. There could not have been less than fifteen thousand people on the streets, and an unbroken line of conveyances of all descriptions fully two miles im length followed after the official carriages, during which bonfires of mammoth proportions were started in three prominent points of the city, and rockets were sent up in all directions; and the bells of city churches rung out a merry peal during the progress of the proces- sion.
The demonstration was undoubtedly the best ever witnessed here.
His Excellency will hold a levee in the Sen- ate Chamber to-morrow afternoon, when it is expected a large number of citizens will pay
| pay their respects.

The Influence of Newspapers.
A school-teacher, who had been a long time engaged in his prefession and witnessed the intiaence of a newspaper upon the minds of a family of children, writes as follows :—
I have found it to be a universal fact, with- out exception, that those scholars, of both sexes and of all ages, who have access to news- papers at home, when compared with those who have not, are :+-
1. Better readers, excellent ‘in pronuncia- tion, and subsequently read more and under- standingly.
2. They are better spellers, and define words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of geo- graphy in almost half the time it requires of others, as the newspapers have made them ac- quainted with the location of the important places of nations, their government and doings on the globe. :
4, They are better grammarians, for having become so familiar with every variety of style in the newspapers, from the common place ad- vertisement to the finished and classical ora- tion of the statesman, they more readily com- prehend the meaning of the text and conse- quently analyze its construction with accu- racy.
5. They write better composition, using bet- ter language, conducing more thoughts, more clearly and correctly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for years been readers of newspapers and are always taking the lead in debating societies, exhibit a mere extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects and express their views with greater fluency, clearness and correct: ness.

BirtH on Surpsoarp.—Mrs. Morine, wife of Capt. Morine, of the barque ‘‘Scot- land,” gave birth to a son on Thursday evening, on board the Cromwell steamer ‘“‘Cortes,” on her passage from New York. Everything possible for her comfort was done, and mother and child are both doing well. The baby is to be christened ‘‘Cortes.’ —Hzx. Herald.
Secretary Thompson, says the New York ‘* World,” while at Breakfast on Monday, was suddenly taking with a fainting fit, which lasted for some moments. Medical assistance was promptly summoned and in a short time the Secretary recovered, although he was not able to leave his house that day. Stories were circulated on the Washington streets that he had been stricken with apoplexy aud - lysis. His physicians think that his illness was caused by the excessive use of tobacco.

DeaTu or Mr. G. H. Lewes.—The des- patches lately announced the death of this author, whose History of Philosophy, Life of Geethe, Physiology of Common Life, Problems of Life and Mind—his greatest book—and many other works so well known. He is also known as the husband of ‘* George Eliot,” and, if we mistake not, he co-operated with her in producing her latest great novel, Daniel Deronda. His philosophy was ma- terialistic, but he recognized the existence of a personal Deity.

The writ for the local election in East Tor- onto has been issued. Nomination day is set down for the 14th inst., and polling for the “lst. Mr. Morris, is the Liberal-Conservative candidate, and is almost certain of success, notwithstanding the efforts of the Globe and other Ontario Grit papers to stir up a feeling against him on account of his nationality—he being a Scotchman, and the constituency large- ly Irish. Such mean political dodges in vulgar parlance, are about ‘“‘played out,” with Can- adian people, as they have learned that an Irishman or a Scotchman, or any other, can vern the country equally well, if they pos- sess the ability and the desire to do so.

We all saw Lora Beaconstield on Wednes- day in Downing Street, and yet the evidence as to how he looked and acted is utterly con- flicting. The representative of the Dundee “Advertiser” says: ‘‘Lord Beaconsfield was so feeble that he walked from his carriage to the official residence with some difficulty; while the correspondent of the Glasgow ‘‘News” declared ‘His Lordship looked ex- ceedingly well.” If I may contribute a third version, I would say ‘‘he did not look ex- ceedingly,” for he has a face waxen and habi- tually ashen pale, on which suffering or pleas- ure, or, indeed, emotion of any kind, is never allowed to appear. But he walked in that curious pather-like stride of his as calmly and steadily as any time I have seen him these twenty years past.—/ondon correspondence of the Liverpool Post.

Tue Misses LePacs are now conducting a first-class boarding house on the corner of Great George and King streets, in tke building heretofore known as the “Broad- way House.” This house, being refitted in excellent style, situated in a most con- venient of the city, and conducted by obliging ladies, is therefore one of the most desirable for permanent boarders. 1m
