Principles Wanted.
Tue following is what the Montreal Witness has to say on the situation. | The Witness is more confirmed ia its} Gritism than near neighbor, the| Family Herald and Weekly Star. The latter claims to be independent in poli- tics, and so it is to a certain extent, but its readers will invariably find that for the one good word it has to say for Sir John’s Government, it has ten for the Grit Opposition :—
its
‘* The Liberals of Montreal have called a meeting of the judicious and the zealous of the party for the purpose of thoroughly organizing for the work during the ap- proaching elections. They ascribe their failures hitherto to the lack of thorough organization, and are determined that, in the district of Montreal at least, the next election, which is generally looked for next year, will not find them unprepared. Organization is highly necessary, is in fact indiypensable, but it is not the prime necessity. It seemsto us that what the Liberals of Canada need most of all is clearly defined principles, which it will be worth while organizing to carry out, which will inspire enthusiasm enough in Liberals to make organization oasy, and which the electors will consider apart from the question of the outs and ins. Their present attitude toward many questions 1s such as to create indifference among many in the ranks of their own party, with- out ip eny way winning support from their opponents. For instance, as to the fiscal policy of the country, they are neither Free Traders nor Protectionists, and, conse quently, disgust Free Trade Liberals, with- out at all allaying the suspicions of Protec tionists. While the majority of the party both in Parliament and in the country are in favor of prohibition, and it is alinost cer- tain that if a majority of Liberals were returned a prohibitory measure would be carried, yet the party does not pledge itsolf to prohibition. The Liberals have, there- fore, the oppositioa of the liquor party without support of the prohibitory party. There are local questions of importance which the Liberals do not raise and pledge themselves to solve. Organization without any policy worthy the name will not effect much for a party which is nothing if not one of principle.
Loss of the General Middleton.
Mr. Jonny McDonatp, of the firm of McDonald, McDonald & Co,, Souris, ar- rived from St. John’s, Nfld., last evening. He was on board the General Middleton, which was wrecked at Rose Blanch. From him we learn that on Friday, the 31st Oct., the General Middleton sailed from Bras d’or Like, bound for Newfoundland. The wind southwest, blowing hard. At3p. m. the wind increasing toagale. The schooner layed too until 4 p. m. of the ist Oct., and made sail again. The wind was north- west. She passed Cape Ray at 1p m.,and sighted Rose Blanch light at 5 c’clock The weather looked bad, and the wind was
northeast. The captain thought it prudent to harbor the _ vesse!. He had a _ pilot on board, and = got nearly into the harbor where the
schooner mistayed. He dropped anchor, but the chains parted at once, The schooner then went among the rocks and became a total wreck. The crew barely had time to get inte the boat (loosing every thing,) when the schooner was dashed to pieces. The boat landed at Rose Bianche. Ali were kind'y treated by Mr. Fourneaux and Me. Sorsolid, who showed every kindness to Mr. MeDonald, the Captaiv, and the crew.

MysTeR1ovus rumors, says the Halifax Chronicle, are efloat regarding a schooner which left here in September for St Pierre, Miq , with a cargo of liquor and tobacco, Her cargo, which was in bond, was, it is said, landed a short distance to the eastward of here. The vessel has not eince been beard from. Itis rumored that she went to P. FE. Island in disguise and in baliast, and took a cargo of potatoes under a false name thence to New York.

Mxssrs. Tice *& CavanaGu have placed a light in front of their Livery Stable, Grafton Street, wh'ch they inten! continuing every night until the electric light is completed, The citizens in that vicinity will apprec ate this kindness. Since these gentiemen have started the livery business, their trade has increased to such an extent that they have been obliged to add to their premises a large waiting room, where parties can, with comfort, remain uutil their teame are ready.

THE DATIY Ee
Smallpox in the City. NINE CASES DISCOVERED,
THe city was last evening thrown into a fever of excitement over the announcement of Dr. Jenkins that several cases of small- pox existed in four midst, The authorities
|were at once informed, and the Health
Officer, Dr. Johnson, took charge of the infected district. He flagged the street on which the houses are situated at both ends, and placed the police and several constables in charge of the street and houses theron.
A meeting of the Board of Health was held this morning. Dr. Johnson, who was present, informed the Board that seven cases existed in the city. Four were in one
house, that of widow Thompson, which is situated on Long Street. Two of these were critical cases, and two were developing. In_ the
house next to Thompson's the Health Officer found another case, that of Mrs. U'Hara. She was suffering slightly from the disease. In another house a girl named Way was sick of the disease, and in another Mrs. Chilton. William Jones, a sailor on board the bark Lucy Pope, was also found suffering from symptoms of smallpox—contracted, it is supposed, at Thompson's.
The Health Officer urged upon the Board the necessity of procuring an hospital out- side of the eity where the victims could be removed immediately after they contracted the disease.
The Mayor, Councillors Orabbe and Morris, and Dr. Jenkins, were appointed a committee to actin conjunction with the Health Officer and Quarantine Officer, and were instructed by the Board to use every means in their power to eradicate the C1sease.
Tho greatest unanimity prevailed at the meeting, and the members of the Board are determined not to spare money in their efforts to prevent the spread of the epidemie in this city.
It is difficult to find out the origin of the disease. The Thompson family have been ill for several weeks. One of the children first took chicken pox. ‘This one got well, but another, five yeers of age, also took the same disease, died after a short iliness, and was buried on Sunday. In the m:an- time James, the eldest of the family, and three others bscame ill, and were under medical treatment for ordinary ailments. Last night Dr. Jenkins visited the family, and on brief examination pronounced their malady smallpox. A snbsequent examiua- tion also brought to light the ether cases above stated.
To-day Dr. Johnston made a personal inspection of all houses in the infected dis- trict, and examined all the inmates of houses on Long Street.
NOTES.
William Jones, who is suffering from smallpox symptoms, was this afternoon re- moved to the Marine Hospital in charge of Dr. Warburton. The Lucy Pope was, after his departure, thoroughly fumigated.
The report circulated that smallpox exists in the family of Mr. B. Pickard is with- out foundation,
The house of a family called Way in Gay !
town has also been isolated.
A meeting of the clergymen of various denominations was held in the vestry of St. Paul’s Church to-day, and Kev. C. O’Meara was appointed to attend all patients suffering from Smallpox.
Wovutp it not be well for some of our druggists to import a quantity of Lane’s celebrated Micmac Remedy. A gentleman who has experience with it says it is a cer- tain cure and preventative of smallpox.
Avother case of smallpox has been dis. covered, making nine altogether in the city. Mrs. Began, who resides on Long Street, is the victim.
A house on Queen Street, occupied by Mr. James Breen, has been isolated, as members of the family yesterday visited one of the houges on,Long Street which was infected with the disease.
The old Insane Asylum has been secured from the Local Government It will be used ass an hospital for all patients suffering from small- pox, and will be under control of the City Board of Health. Country patients will be admitted and we learn their expenses will be paid by the Local Government,
The cffices of all the physicians in the city to-day were besieged by men, women ond children, anrious to be vaccinated.
The patients will be removed to the Hospital to morrow. Hereafter, all partics showing symptoms of smal-pox will be removed to the Hospital without delay, by the Board of Health.
The Convents and the City Schools have been cl «ed until Monday.
THe steamer Worcester arrived from Bos- ton yesterday morning with freight and,the following passengers:—James McDonald, H. M. Customs; John Bortram, Heury Allan, Miss Lucy McCurdy, Mary E. Hur- rev, Josie Anderson. Katie McSwain, John Nickerson, Alex McLean. She sailed this morning with a large freight and the fol- lowing passengers :—Robert oe. me Barns, David Ba‘cher, John Muilen, Rose Murray, A. Gamble.

To gain the public confideace is e*sertial to business success, and it can only be gaia- el by a steady course of faithful desliog with them. It is by this course fhat Messrs Tuckett & Son have secured the grest sne- cess of their “Myrtle Navy” tabacso. This confidence is not ovly .a source of busi- nes* to the firm. but alse a source of economy which the consumers get the benefit of. The merchant never loses a moment ef time in examiniug the quality of tobacce. The name fixes the quality as absolutely as the miut stamp fixes the value of the guinea. I: is not even necessary for the commercial traveller’s truak to be burdened with a sample of “‘Myrtle Navy,” all his customers know what itis, and know in an instant when it has been supplied. There is no room for any dispute aboutit. No waste of time or portage in writing complaints about it. These may look like trifles to the an- initated, bat they save money, and ‘enable merchants to perform the work of distribu- tion at the smallest possible cost. They are part of the reasons why the finest quality of tobacco grown cin be sold at so cheap a price.

Big Horses.—Atthe resent horse show in New York two remarkable animals were on exhibition. One is the monster draugl.t horse Jumbo, 8 years old, 195 hands high, and weighing 2,400 pounds. The other is Jumbos comrade. They i-ok like twins, and weigh together just 4,000
