The first anniversary of Gladstone's
death was ce:etrated on Friday. The
great Commoner's good deeds live
after hire. That was a remarkable
testimony borne to his worth the
)they day by Rev. Theodore Cayler/
who asid that Gladstone had wielded

Mr. Henderson if his calling the

iag this troublesome coin.
The Hon. John Dryden steps down
and out. The evidence on Friday
produced at the trial at «'hithy
showed that money had been offered
to, and accepted by, voters, though
none of them admitted that they had
been influenced by the money to vote
dilh:rently the way they had
intended o vote. , Judges were
of opinion that ,the)investigation
ought to have gone arther, but the
lawyers oa both sides demurred at
the expense of continuing the trial,
after enough had been proveid to void
the seat.
Reports received by Chicago Board

to the damage to the winter wheat
crop from the severe winter, the late
spring unfavorable wea.ttier generally
and the Hessian fly, the crop of winter
wheat this year will be the lightest

1881. Some ;go as far as to state
that the crop will be almost an entire'

that the teaching of agriculture in the
schools is not to teach them how te

more intelligent conception of the
scenes among which their daily life is
speet ; to show them how to read
with new interest and appreciation

Sound Advice.
!al this age of dyspepsia, drugs and
faith cares this advice of the Medical
Record is worthy of being taken to
heart : Drink less, breathe more ;
eat lese, chew more; ride less, walk
more ; clothe less, bathe more ;
worry less, work more ; waste less,
give more ; write less, road more ;
preach less, practise more.”
Nine People Killed
The through train from Chicago to
Minneapolis over the Rock Island and
Burlington, and Cedar Rapids and
Northern Railway was wrecked at 1.15
Stinday morning at the crossing of
Sink Creek. The train consisted of
six cars, smoking car, two passenger
coaches and a sleeper. Nine persons
were killed ani 23 injured. A cloud-
burst had washed the sand and gravel
roadbed, leaving the track unsupported
for a stretch of 20 feet,
Praise for the Band
The Goilerich Star in speaking of
the sports at Dungannon on the 24th,
has thia to say of our band : " Dur-
ing 'the dinner hqur the Lucknow
band, consiating of 15 members,
played a select programme in the
village. The musicians from the
Sepoy burg received favorable com-
ments for their concert, and also for
the numbers played on the Agricul-
tural , park grounds during the
afternoon, and the comments were
well deserved, 58 the playing was
-first class from start to finish.
Heavy Rain
One of the heaviest rain storms that
has ever visited this section occurred
on Sunday afternoon last, and a trifle
over two and two -third inches of
water fell on the level. It was also
accompanied lky yivid flashes of light-
ning and. loud claps of thunder, and
although we have heard of no damage
being done 'Ler the lightning, several
small bridges have been washed away
by the high water ia the creeks. The
bridge on the boundary east, near Mr.
Peter Torrance's farm, has been badly
damaged, and will have to he rebuilt.
Poor Wages.
The complaint of the Grand Trunk
one. While the 0. P. R. pays their
G. T. R. pays only $1 frons which 3c
is deaucted for insurance, reducing
the wage to 97c a day. It will be
readily seen that these men are so
poorly paid as to make the problem of
meeting living expenies for men with
families to support exceedingly
problematical, to say nothing of laying
up anything for a rainy day This is
just as necessary ass providing for
daily wants, as it is a recognized
principle with the G. T. It. authorities
that whenever a man through siekness
or old age becomes ineapacitated he is
turned adrift like an old horse to shift
for himself.

The citizens of the village will be
pleased to see Mr. Ma Mng, our
popular Chinese laundrymen, back to
the village, after an absence of seven
months, during which time he spent in
Vancouver and other parts of British
Columbia. Unlike the majority of
his countrymen, Ma is gifted with a
social and somewhat generous nature,
and how the fair maidens of the West
allowed him to return uuattended is
at present difficult to solve. Ma will
again enter the laundry business in his
former site on Stauffer street.
Good Advertising StoPY•
The National Advertiser tells a
story of an old bachelor who henght
a pair of socks, and found attached

these words : " I am a young lady of
20 and would like to correspond with
a bachelor, with e view to nsatrimony."
Name and address were given. The
bachelor wrote, and in a few days got
hie letter : " Mamma was married
twenty years ago. The merchant
you bought those socks from evidently
did not advertise or he would have
sold them long ago. Mamma banded
me your letter, and said possibly I

Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Northern

the most violent storms known in
years, raulting in the loss of nearly
a dozen lives an doing daniage to
property and c s that will run into
the hundreds of thousands. In the
States of Nebraska, South Dakota,
and Iowa, tornadoes, the real old

waste large sections of the country,
converting hundreds of farm houses
and buildings into kindling wood,
killing stcck and tearing up trees

have been reported since Friday, In

Death of Mrs. Chambers
Few deaths have ever occurred in
the village that has caused more uni-
versal regret by all classes of the
coinniunity, than the demise of Mrs,
Jessie Chambers, which took place at
her residence on Wednesday after-
noon. The deceased lady had reached
the ripe old age of seventy-three years
and ten days, and during her residence
in Lucknow for over thirty years, had
endeared herself to all who knew her.
She was an exempiarly Christian,
and a life-long member and earnest
worker of the Methodist Church, but
her many acts of kindness and true
Christian sympathy were not confined
to any one Church or people, but to
all dationsinations alike, and the name
of Mrs, Chambers will long be remem-
bered in loving kindness by the people
of Lucknow. She had been a great
sufferer from an absess, and for many
years, and for several weeks had been
confined to the house, but she bore it
all with Christian resignetion, and
when the hour ot her departure had
come she was fully wady to meet her
Heavenly Father, whom she had so
faithfully loved and served while on
earth. For Rome fifteen years she
had been leader of the ladies' class in
the Methodist Church, and 8110 was
also a earnest member of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. The
funeral takes place this (Thursday)
afternoon to the Zion cemetery, and
the body will be interred alongside
those of her deceased husband, the
late Robert Chambers, who died 110030
seventeen years ago.

A Large Funeral.
" The funeral of the late W. IF
Johnston, on Saturday last, was largely
attended. The members of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
and the Independent Order of
Foresters, of which the deceased was
a tnetuber, attended the funeral in a
body and walked in procession to the
cemetery. Besides the societies
present at the funeral, there was
large concourse of friends and relatives
in attendance, which testified to the
very high esteem In which the deceased
was held in the community. Mr.
Johnston was born in Hastings County
on May 19th, 1852, and came with his
parents to Lucknow when eight years
of age. He was converted in 1884,
under the ministry of the Rev. George
R. Turk, and since that time had been
a faithful and consistent member of
the Methodist Church, and for many
years had been a class -leader and
Member of the official Board of the
church. He was a kind and devoted
hueband and loving father, and his
widow and five children, two sons and
three daughters, have the sympathy of
in their sad bereavement. The
