The Mitchell Recorder makes the following refereece to a very important euhject. lir. Race, the editor-ot tbe Recorder, and no doubt the writer of this article, is a fruit expert, and, having acted as judge' at a great many shows, both large and small, knows whereof he speaks. We are sure his views will accord with those of most others who have hal anything to do with the management of agricultural shows, and we believe if the Recorder suggestions were carried.out, the shows would be made much more useful and popular than they are now. The small addition&I expenditure necessary would no doubt, e more than mede up.fcr, not alonel by the value of the education given, but in the gate receipts, which are and must always be one of the important factors in the conducting of these shows. • The day has gone pa -a when the chief object of our agricuAutal shows is to Sward semebody a Trize for hay ing an article in its particular class better than anyoody else. The agricul- 'tura! show ot to -day is first of all its objects. a means of education. To properly fill this, its first and highest function, its chosen judges should be able and ready t 3 give ieforwation is well as award prize, and the agricul- tural show should provide every conveniences and make ie an object for the judge to Aive infeirmatien. Take the fruit department, in which the writer has had some experience,for an eeample. In all the larger f-_hows of the adjoining States the guard railing, the "hands off" placards, and all such things have been removed. Shorter tables are used with an officiat. standing at thee end of each table to see that nothing is carried away. The Judge is engaged and paid to stay in his department throughout the show. Everybody is allowed access to the fruit, to pick it up, to examine it, and to ask all the questions he likes about it. The judge is supposed to be there and answer these questions. He can give his reasons for awarding a prize in every case to one one particular plate io preference t� another. And he is generally called upon a hundred times to do it, as well as to tell all he knows a hundred tirn over 'about every individual fruriC In this w ty much is learned by the public, and the agricultural show is made a thing of special interest_and profit. Canada 'is slowly dropping into line in the adoption of those methods. at the larger shows. Londen this year led in the removal of all, restrictiens and the adoption. of shorten tablewhich the public could surround and examine the fruit at pleasure. At Toronto every reasonab liberty is given to the public, an( t i ft uit experts are constantly busy tting, handling and explaining the different points about the exhibit, or specimens brought in for name. The sooner the county and all other shows fall into line the mere will they be appreciated by the public. And what is true in the fruit department is applicable to all other departmehts. Will the press not lend its progressive enterprise and influence to the attainment of this end'l Lord Minty having been sworn in as Governo.r-General, the' people will have to get accustomed to the new name, just as they have to practice on the proper figure, in dating their letters, at each New Year. The new Governor's welcome at Quebec and at Montreal was cordial. The Penton case will;cotae up before Mr. Justice Ferguson at Napanee on - Monday next. An appeal has been made to the Goverernent for the de- fence, and the Crown has consented to sehpeona eighteen who reside out of the Bay of Quinte district.

That is good news. With hard wheat • bringing 71 mitts at Fort William, and the tendency of prices being up- ward, full bias will mean much money for the western farmers, and all will share in their prosperity. Preperations are being made to show Britain's strength on land and sea the world over, and in every part of her possessions there is the same loyalty and unanimity of feelicg as there is in the Britieh isles. Whet is occurring to -day is only an eeemplifica- tion of what has been said and sung for a century back that "Britennia rules the waves," and the Queen rules over an empire on which the sun never sets, says the Chicago British American. Never has a retiring Canadian Gov- ernor been given more or herirtier testimonials of popular favor than Lord Aberdeen. This is not hard to account for. No other Governor or Governor's consort has so cultivated the acquaintance of the masses of the people, broken down the barriers of social caste, and entered into the busi- ness and .social life of the country. Lord and Lady Aberdeen have shown a desire not merely to be with u, but to be of us. They have taken an active interest in Canada, its people and its future, and there are few who will not wish them well and hope for a continuance of their interest in our country wherever they may be. Cana- dians will always have them in kindly remembrance. Leg Broken 1 CousseuirlIMOrerillsorroation • Master William Holmes, son of Mr, , Tim3 Conservatives of West a W. S.

IV EST HURON MBES 1:LLS °arrow and Hormers the Nominees The Liberals. of West Huron were. called upon Friday last to perform the somewhat, unusual task of selecting candidates ta contest bye -elections for both the Local aliel Dominion Houses. Despite the cold weather, the snow, and a gale off Lake Hurcn, fully 250 farmers attended the meeting, some coming from a distance of 21 miles. About one-half of these wereidelegiftee to one or other of the nominations Looti,t to be made. For the Local House there was but one ratre mentioned, and the nomina- tion was unanimously tendered Mr. J. T. (arrow, Q.c , the late member. Ile thanked the delegates in his usual frank manner, and referred to the ruinotie whi.th had been going the rounds of the Conservative press to the effect that he was about te enter Dominion politics, For the Domirioe House there was a superabundance of c.ndidates, but the list was ,finally reduced to three, namely, Robert Holmes, mayor of Clinton, and editor of the Clinton New. Era; Mr. M. G. Cemeron, Goderich, son of the late Hon. M. C. Cameron, and -Mr. J.- L. Grant, a sturdy farmer frem All were strong men, and any one witild have made a capital candidate. The choice fell upon Mr. Holmes, and the general feeling is that the choice was a wise one. It is perhaps particu- larly fortunate that to Clinton falls the honor of being the home of the candidate chosen for the Commons. Clinton is the recognised pivotal point in West Huron elections. There M. Holmes has much influence, hav- ing been mayor for the last five years. Mr. Holmes is president of the Cana- dian Preas Association and president of the Huron Sabbath School Associ- ation. He is a son of Mr. E. Holmes, formerly assistant provineigl librarian, now of St. Catharines, where Mr. Holmes wac born 45 years ago. Mr. Holmes' father purchased the New Era in 1865. If the by -word of 'West Ifuron, "As Clint in goes so goes the riding," is well founded, Mr. Holmes will undoubtedly be elected. Mr. McDonald, of Wingharn, M.P. for East Huron, and Mr. Alex. Smith, Liberal organizer, were present at the con vention. Resolutions expressing sympathy with the wife of the late M. C. Cameron, and commending the Domin- ion and Ontario Governments were unanimously passed. Messrs. Garrow and. Holmes, after their notnination, made stirring speeches, predicting victory. Mr. M. G, Cameron and Mr. .1.. L. Grant submitted gracefully to the evll of the /convention and piotnised Mr. Holmes their hearty support. Speeches were also made by the other nominees who had withdrawn, namely, Wrn. Proud - foot, a partner of Mr. (Jarrow ; Philip Ifolt, Goderich; ,Wm. Coe 3s, Clinton; Dan McGillicuddy, editor of the Huron Signal; Morgan Dalt )n, Deputy of Ashfield; J. N. McKenzie, Reeve of Ashfield, and J. 0, Martin.

Our Grain Markets Despite the bad reads and disagree- able weather. of the past week, the grain still flows into the market, and it is a daily occurrence to see farmers here from all the surroundiug town- ships, some of them coming over 20 miles. The big prices that our buyers are paying, and the splendid accomo- dation, at our elevators, brings them in. The prices paid on Thursday are: Wheat, 68e to 69c Peas, 59c to 60c Oats, 26c to 27c 'Barley, 440c to 45c. according to Long Distant:* Telephone A new long distance telephone instiutnent has heen placed in the local telephone office here at Mr. G.

Twelve Thousand Barrels The pest season with the enormous quantity of apples that have been shipped from the Lucknow station, has been a busy one with the barrel makers, and our own local manufac- turer, Mr. William Geddes, has turned out from his works at. the corher of Campbell and Ilavelock _streets,. over 12,000 barrels for the local shippers.

The hall and stage were tastefully arranged and presented a home -like appearance. Mrs. lirYan, president of the local union, tdok charge of the program. Instrumental selections on the piano by the Misses Sinith, Armstrong and Lees were listened to with interest, and the guitar selections by Miss Berry and Mr. McMorran, were very much ap- preciated. Miss li‘tie McIntosh sang twice very sweetly, and Miss Sadie Johnston's recitation,' . "Woman's Sphere," was fully enjoyed. Mrs. Jack Armstrong's exquisite. recitation, "A light Over. The. Range," was rendered in a very effective manner. -Short addresses were delivered by Revs. Duthie, Olivant aed LearoYd. Refreslunents were served and the strains of.tte band enlivened the pro- ceedings. The ruembers of the Unicn are grateful to a1)who took part, and as they have in iew a worthy object, hope that a fish interest will be awakened in the&r work. • Railway Accidents During the hist few days accident and death has been stalking along the railway tracks east of Toronto. Near Havelock station on Monday morning a C. P. It. train going forty miles an hour, was ditched,- and five persons were injured. On Monday the express from Montreal, on the Gradd Trunk, crashed into a freight train through an open switch. On Tuesday morning the Grand Trunk express from Mont- real, ran into a freight near Trenton, killing ten people and seriously injur- ing twenty-five. Geerge ,Pauline, cattle buyer, of Chesley, was among the injured. Its Origin Rev. Mr. Howson, of Meaford, gives this little piece of infortnatiion about that popular hymen, "What a friend we have in Jesus." There lies buried on the shores of Rice Lake, north of Pert Hope, said Mr. Howson, one James Scrivener wdo at one time was wealthy. Scrivener was an extremely liberal minded wan and eventually became very poor owing to his liberal- ity. Friends forgot him, as they often do in such extremities, and it was then he wrote that beautiful hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus," of which it is said more than fifty million copies have heed printed. A Dastardly Act A car load of oats was shipped from the Lucknow . Elevator Compsny's storo house at the station here on the 1th of October last, for Portland, Maine, and when it arrived at its destination it was found to be 1:!3 bushels and 18 pounds short in weight.1 Au investigation showed that several holes had been bored in the bottom of the car with an inch auger, and the grain ,allowed to run out along the track. It appears that the perpetrator of this diabolical act, after boring the holes in the car, in order to, cover up hie dasstardly work, put temporary plugs into the holes, well knowing that With the shaking of the car these would drop out, and allow the grain to fall to the ground. Before the car reached Portlitud only a portion of the plugs had fallen out, however, or in all probability the whole car load of grain would have been scattered along the rails. 'Who the culprit is, or where the car was when the holes wete bored into it, is a difficult matter to solve just now, but we understand the Grand Trunk Railway Company, who after all are the actual loaers by this outrageous act, witi leave nothing undone to find ont the guilty parties. a -— A Severe Winter Coming All the indications on which great reliance is always placed point to a long and severe winter, says the Albany Express. In the first place there is the goose bone. For the first time in eight years it is very wide and rearly all white, which is a sure sign of early sneess., deep snow, and Snow of long duration. Then there is the rag weed. It, ie unusually tall Thus does nature provide for the feeding of the non migratory birds when there is to be deep snow. Moreover, examin- ation of corn husks has disclosed that they are unusually heavy. That is *pother sign of extreme cold The dioodchuck, furthermore, corroborates the other evidence with fur of unusual thickness. That is a sign that never fails, even when others do Laiitly there is to be considered that ore is a surplus of temperature wnich will have to be wipid out by a correspond- ing deficit. These indications will convince even the more -skee': d and induce them to make wise provision time. ee I eh ir fir°ar% vD os tn appearancer a mati c :e Lucknowaudienceaudience on Wed- nb°riday.T fTmohrePaean:L'dmuahucAlidekd" attendance was not as large as the performance deserved. The company is a good one and deserves the patrogage of all who appreciate good acting. The special- ties introduced between the acts were of a high order. The singing of Miss Maud Henderson was exceptionally good. The performance throughout was one of the best ever presented to a Lucknow audience, and to -night we predict for them a packed house. McLeod vs McDougall This was a local action tried at the Assizes at Walkerton this week. It was -brought by Alex. McLeod against Peter McDougall for damages for assault whereby McLeod lost an eye and his head was otherwise injured, in a quarrel between the two men on the night of Calsdonian day last. It appears the parties had some words in the village, but no harm was done until they met later at the Grey Ox corner on their !way home. The plaintifT clamed the defendant then assaulted him without justification and di•I the injury complained of, but the defen- dant claimed McLeod first assaulted him, and that he was only defending himself, and the injury was an accident of the trouble. The case was tried by a jury but resulted in a dis- agreement. The jury thoueht that the plaintiff was the aggressor, that the defendant was only defending himself and asked the Judge if they could under these circumstances, give the plaintiff damages for sympathy. The Judge said not unless they found more force was used in defeieeling himself than necessary. e The jury then con- sidered this point, but were unable to agree on it, eight of the jury saying no more force than necessary was used, and four sympathazing with the plaintiff and wanting to give him a small sum for damages. The result is the matter will have to be tried over at the next Spring Assizes. Mr. Morrison appeared for the plaitiff, and Mr. H. P. O'Connor and P. A. Mal- comson for the defendant.

CHARGED WITH LUNACY. On Friday evening Ellen Bowler, aged 39, of Ashfield township, who was conamitted to the county jail a few weeks since as a lunatic, was brought before Judge Masson charged with beiug insane, says the Goderich Star. A large number of witnesses were exaaiined, and had *it not been for the doctor's testimony Miss Bowler would niost likely have had her freedom. The defeniant is not at all a bad looking woman, though rather stout, and her expression would not lead lookers on to believe that she had even a taint of insanity. The facts of the case appeer to be that from her youth up till some ten years since she had been subject to elipetic hts, and that recently she had used a table as an altar, and had got up in the night and moved about the house with burning lamps and candles. The first two witnesses called knew nothing about the defendant, except by hear- say. Jas. Griffin was present on one occasion when defendant walked into the kitchen and told a man to get up from a chair, and eat down in it when the inan got up. Dr. Cassiday said he had attended the family for 30 yeara ; that she had convulsions up till ten years ago; that five or six years since her parents told him that the detendant was dangerous, and that she said a Lucknow doctor had given her poison . in het medicine. That when he suggested treatment for it, Miss Bowler said "No, let it stay there." Here defendant said that Dr. Caseiday had not examinee her nor had she consulted him I r five years. The doctor said his impreesion as a medical man was that the epilepsy will produce mania and that the defen- dant might injure herself. Continu- ing. the doctor said he had examined her that morning and found her to be improving. Robt. Henderson, turn- key, said he had seen Miss Bowier every day for four or five weeks, anil that when elle came in she felt much annoyed at being placed in eel Mr. Henderson &leo stated thst sl*" lied very much improved the last two weeks.

Here defendant said she had a 3andle, and that her father knew it perfectly well, but wanted to put her away. Judge Masson asked witness: the Biz& of his farm and the stock on it, saying that he would have to pay for her if he sent her to an asylum. Bowler a answer ViaGI "Let her out, then," and defendant interjected, 'it's himself' that ought to be there, not me." lispi answer to Judge Masson the witness - said his daughter had never threateneil to burn the place. Dr, Shannon, sr, had examined her three times, aud found that she was under the delusion that a doctor had given her poison. In answer to Judge Masson the doctor said such a belief became a manus, that degeneracy advances as epilepsy continues, that the delusion that she hal taken poisou in her medicine might make her dangerous. and that she ought to be 'in the asylum tor protectiqn. Dr. Hunter concurred in Dr. Shannon's evidence, and thought' the chances of defendant's recovery slight. The defendant in answer to the Judge said that she had & lamp and a candle on the emission mention- ed, and that her father had no realm to fear her., During the eourse of t trial Miss newler said, "The doct take a wrong view of my case .
