Two Frres.—Shortly after midnight last uight, some person poked a roll of Patriots, satnrated with kerosene oil, under the «loor of the kitchen porch of Mr. W. W. Clarke's residence, and set fire to the roll. The reflec- tion of the flames on a barn in the yard were observed by one of Mr. Clarke's neigh dors who gave the alarm and extinguished the tire. We hope that the person who perpetratei this outrage will be found out and and punished as he deserves to be.

The Battle of Election Petitions

THe Oppositionists did not anticipate reprisals in the game of election petitions. They fondly and vainly imagined that the last day for filing petitions was the on whieh they filed their factious petition against Messrs, McLeod and Blake. But they were wrong—as usual; and as a result of their foolish cabal to overthrow the Government, they will be compelled to respond to no less thaa ten election peti- tions, with the almost certain prospect of having several of their members elect disqualified by the Court. Of course they will have the pleasure of doing what they can to nullify the election ‘of seven Con- servatives elect, and they are welcome to all the fun they may obtain. It is significant that they have not dared to petition against any one of the solid Conservative con- tingent returned by King’s County.
