' .It is of the scented variety, and is about- four feet in height and its '° branches measure over fifteen feet in circumference. The main stem is about two -feet in length and nearly ,two inches in thickness. • - Notice to Farmers • 01 Owingto a very great improvement in the water power of the Lucknow Railer .Mills, which. will enable me to 'run by water about nine months in the year, a very great reduction in running expenses of the mill, no wood, no engineer to pay for, to benefit the fan mers with light wheat in the future if they will clean it well. I will give a return of 50 lbs. of flour and feed in every 60 lbs. of wheat, no matter what it may test. Geo. KERR. A Lesson in Geography If in addressing letters parties would put the County on, they would save a vast amount of trouble to the Post- master and insure correct despatch. There are so many . post offices in the JJouiinion and some so little known that it entails a vast amount of labor and trouble in despatching them.. For instance a boy in school is considered well up in Canadian Geography when he can name all the County towns cor- rectly and the examiner would be con- sidered almost insane should he ask the question to a class Where is such and such a poet .office situated. - Yet the public ask this question two or three hundred times a day o! a P. M. and expects hili to know. The remedy is to put the County on your envelopes and it will save trouble and expediate matters, A goof Summer • ' (ea the' principle that the average temperature fora whole year will not diff greatly from that of former years, it is ':.;redieted that the comingsummer wit an unusually cool one.

Meeting at St Helens • Mr. J. M. Roberts, the Conser twe-candidate for- West-H�urv-a�- on, made his political bow to the electors at St. Helens on Saturday evening last. Mr. Roberts is a very decent fellow and a good business man, but nature never intended him for a politician, and his speech on Saturday evening was anything but forcible. There is one thing, however, we admire about him, and_that is his honesty in telling his hearers that he is no public speaker, and that he is not prepared to say that the charges he makes against the Mowat administration are true or not, as they were nearly all 'read from scraps taken from the Empire' - and other Conservative newspapers. Mr. Jas, Somerville rppiind ; r--'ti'oUY-" este,. - Y speech, and although he spoke highly of Mr. Roberts as a citizen, he ably, defended the .Mowat Government and showed that there was no foundation whatever for the statements made against it by Mr. Meredith and - his colleagues.. The audience grew very enthusiastic while hes was speaking and many times loudly applauded his remarks. Mr. Clegg, of Wingham, followed but his speech failed to charge the feeling of any one present and the meeting broke up with cheers for the Queen, Prince of Wales, and Mr. Garrow. f Incendiary Fires About two o'clock on Saturday morning last, Mr. D. D. Yule, who lives on Victoria street, observed flames issuing from a vacant frame dwelling near the tannery and im- mediately gave the alarm, and in a few minutes the whole village was awaked from its slumbers by the loud ringing of the Methodist church bell. It was a very dark, wet and disagree- able night, but the firemen promptly answered to the call of duty, and soon had the hose reel at the scene of the fire. The hose was quickly attached to the hydrant at the corner of Hamil- ton and Stauffer streets, and in a few minutes the blaze was extinguished. The building is owned by Mr. John Boyd, and has been empty for some time, so that the fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, but the prompt action of the brigade confined the fire to a small space, and' only a few dollars worth of damage was the result. Between nine and ten o'clock, however, on Saturday night another fire was discovered in the stable back of the new Presbyterian church, and before the alarm was sounded the whole structure was enveloped in flames. As on all previous' occasions 'Engineer Douglas had everything in readiness, and in a short time the fire- men had a stream of water pouring on to 1 the burning building, and - the fire' was soon under control. This makes the sixth place that, has been set on fire in as many weeks, and it is cer- tainly time some action was taken to capture the culprits. The Council should offer a liberal reward for their conviction, a sum at least sufficient to pay a detective to come hdre and work up the case. It is true the buildings that have been burned were all of little value, but there is no telling where it is going to end. Lucknow, May 21, 1890. Editor Sentinel.

Although soma were abseot through previous engagement, there was a very representative meet. ing present,. Principal Yule presided, and after partaking of a aumptuolrs supper, the remainder of the evening was spent in speech and song. Pioneer speeches were made by Mr. Geo. Kerr and Mr. J. Grenachn referring to the earlier History of Lucknow and the younger days of the guest. Speeches were eleo made on behalf of the Coun- cil, Sdhooi Boards' and the various Societies with which \ the doctor was identified, all testifying act his self sacrifice and the 'high personal esteem in which ho is held in the community, las also the logs our village will sustain in losing such a public spirited citizen. While the worthy doctor no doubt regrets to Never the ties which have bound him to Lucknow so long, it will be a source of pleasure to him to know that his efforts for public good, while in our Midst, have been ap- preciated, which fact . had he always mainotit h ulightlat ve- noyest kno w = . e obtaining by constitu- tional means the abolition of Separate Schools. 5th. -Doing away with all monopoly' in school book publ;cation. 6th.—That no disposition be made of timber limits or mining lands without consent ., of the Legislature first had and obtained: 7Ihet-That_.the--control-of- - -Li u'or yo Licenses s u c-1 e taken away from •the Government of the day and placed, in the hands of the people and that all revenues arising therefrom be ap- propriated by and expended in the particular municipalities in which they are collected.
