The Dione Disaster.

The following particulars have been learned regarding the collision and sinking of the steamer Dione in the

Thames Saturday night. There were a great many pleasure passengers on board the vessel. It was clear moon-

light and the collision occurred about midnight with the large iron steamer Camden, just off Gravesend. The Dione’s port side was stove in and the vessel keeled over and sunk in two minutes. Those who were saved rushed on deck and jumped overboard, halt dressed, and were rescued by tugs. The scenes

are described as terrible and heart rending. Ladies implored men to save their children. Many women were

carrying infants.” One mother placed ber infant on a floating crate, which drifted away

HOW TO MARK THE BALLOTS. Be sure to mark your ballot for the Liberal Conservative Candidate

‘* The elector, on receiving the ballot- paper, shall forthwith proceed into one of the compartmente of the polling station, and there mark his ballot paper, making a cross with a pencil on any part of the ballot- paper within the division containing the name of the candidate for whom he intends to vote, and shall then fold up such balloe- paper, so that the initials on the back can be seen without opening it, and hand it to the Deputy Returuing Officer, who shall,

ing the initials, and the number upon the counterfoil, that it is the same he furnished to the elector, and shall first detach and destroy the counterfoil, and shall then im- mediately, aud in the presence of the elec- tor, place the ballot-paper in the ballot- box. — Ballot Act, Sec 4d,

No yoters should make any mark on the ballot-paper save one cross on any part of the ballot paper within the division con- taining the candidate’s name for whom he intends to vote. If the voter writes his name or initials, or any remarks, he makes his ballot useless,

A simple cross upon the ballot for your candidate will assist in electing him. Any other mark or writing will contribute to their defeat.

1. Poll opens at nine o’clock a. m., and closes at five o’clock p. m.

2. Vote early.

3. See that your Liberal Conservative neighbor votes early also.

4. If you have a vehicle, place it at the service of your Committee to bring tardy voters tothe polls. Give the information to the Secretary of Committee.

5. Do not ‘‘pair’ on polling day with | your Grit neighbor. Poll your own vote | and let him look out for his.

6. Poll every possible vote ; the loss or

gain of asingle vote in each sub-division

may make all the difference between victory

and defeat.

7. If your returning officers and deputy

returning officers are Grits watch them.

8 Each Liberal-Conservative should vote

as though the result of the election de-

pended upon his individual exertions.

% Remember that any bribery, corrupt treating, hiring of vehicles, paying of voters’ expenses, or any undue influence, will not only void the election, bat is pun- ishable by law

10, Electors can only vote at one polling sub-division in the same electoral division, no matier in how many sub-divisions they may have votes.

ll. Any elector’s vote may be challenged who has received anything on account of his vote, or has been promised anything directly or indirectly, either to induce him to vote at the election or for loss of time, travelling expenses, hire of teams, or any other service connected therewith ; or even if the said elecetor has dirctly or indirectly paid or promised anything to any person, either to induce him to vote or to refrain from voting at the election.

15. An elector having more votes than one in the same electoral district should vote in that electoral sub-division in which he resides. Attention to this rule will facilitate the polling, and possibly contri- bute to the individual elector’s comfort.

The practice, according to Demosthenes, prevailed in the popular assembly of the Greek State of Lecri, in Italy. There, according to the constitution framed, it is said, by Zaleucus, anv citizen who proposed a new law did so With a rope around his neck, and if the proposal failed to obtain a majority of the votes the proposer wus at once Strangled.
