WOULD RATHER DO WITHOUT His
r)LNNEn,—A Mitchell subscriber
did' not get his NEws-RECOD last
week, and writes us that "ho would
sooner do without his dinner than
without the NEws-REcono." The
rearrangement of our lists is the
probable reason that he was over-

fayre at Clinton - with attractions
rare. To say more I do"'not dare.

but nevertheless in first-class health

Dakota hen recently had a, worse
time than that. Sho accidently got
shut in the store of a Ivan who
doesn't advertise and remained
there four weeks. When she was
rescued she was a mere wreck, hav-
ing eaten a peck of dried apples and
then drank three or four quarts of
kerosene. During her enforced

VoTER's LIs'rs.—Despite the in-
structions which have been publish-
ed, Township Clerks still persist in
the error of putting Land Owners'
Sons ou the Lists as eligible to vote
at both Legislative and Municipal
elections. Wilmot and Waterloo
Lists are both lying before us and
both contain these orrors.—Laud-
holders' Sons, if qualified as
Farmers' Sons, are eligible to
vote at Municipal elections, but
Land -owners' Sons or Land -holders'
Sons aro not. Where a voter
was formerly entered as a Farmers'
Son, and is still entitled to the fran-
chise as 'such, he should bo entered
on the List as "L. and F. S." When
judges examine the Lists prepara-
tory to certifying them it would be
well if they impressed carefully up-
on Munibipal Clarks the different
qualifications and the proper way to
designate voters ou their Lists.—

RIDING THE GOAT.—L. 0. L. 710
held a very successful degree 'meet-
ing on Tuesday. evening of last
week. , Of lato this lodge has been -
making rapid progress and is flouri
ing under tho wise management of
Bro. Charles Tweedy, W. M. It
might here bo mentioned that
several close blood relatives of
Bro. Tweedy met with a fiery death,
through there heroism iu Ireland
many years ago. Bro. W. G.
Smith makes a capital treasurer; ho
has filled the position for several
years and never fails giving a good
account ,of his stewardship. An
old,vott)ran in the good cause of
Protestantism, Bro. Geo. Hanley,
is the chaplain of 710 as well as of
the county lodge ; he fills the posit-
ion with credit to himself and the,.
lodge. In fact all the officers
"fill the'bill" in a practical manner.
There wore about 150 members at
the meeting. Bro. E. Moody, W.
C. M., occupied the chair, and Bro.
Crooks, of Holrnesville, W. D. M.
of Goderich District, the deputy.
Four candidates were advanced to the
R. A. P. degree. Lunch was served
and a very enjoyable evening spent.
Short addresses were given by Bros.
John Scarlett, P. C. M., W. Crooks,
John Beacom, Cook, Wells, Tweedy,
Todd, Hanley and others. It is
likely a similar mooting will take
place in the course of a couple of
months.

RUBBING IT IN.—The Goderich
Signal returned last week to the
"saw -off" question, and in language
so charcteristic of the buffoon and
the ruffian, Dan .again gives the
whole matter a flat contradiction,
and politely calls the editor of the
Adv'ocate"t liar, and Mr. Birming-
ham, "Bob," whose boots the notor-
ious is not worthy to blacken. Wo
hope both gentlemen will survive
the attack of the well known cham-
pion mud -slinger of Huron, whose
record for hlackguardism is - known
to everyone. Dan demands our
proof for the rumor. Well, if ho
applies to Lawyer I' edge, of this
town, a good Grit, he will be sat•
'sfied that the statement was not
made by ua out of whole cloth. This
gentleman has seen the correspond-
ence on the matter, and although
he has not the liberty to divhlgo
the name of our informant, he can
testify whether true or untrue, that
the charge did not originate with
us. That Mr. Birmingham was ap-
proached to "saw -off" seems to us
beyond all doubt, but we never
pretended to say it was done with
the knowledge or consent of the
Goderich crank. Perhaps the mem-
bers of tho,Toronto Grit club did
not consider him of such import-
ance as to deem it necessary to ask
his permission to proceed in the
mater.—Mitchell Advocate.
As the List now stands, there are
684 voters for Legislative and Mun-
icipal purposes ; 46 widows and
single women, with votes for Muni-
cipal purposes; and Mr. Cyrus
Rellinger has the honor of being
the only Legislative voter as a
Land -holders' Sou. --The town ,of
Galt shows a very similar state of
affairs, for while there is au increase
of 84 inthe number of ordinary
voters; there is a decrease' in what
may be called the fancy franchise
part of some 64. This shows con-
clusively, that unless those votes
aro looked after they will generally
be "found missing", when most re-
quired.—Galt Reporter.
IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.—At
the Division Court held here last
Wednesday, Judge Toms presiding,.
a case of an unusual.natur'e was 'tried.
1\1r. Seagram, a distiller of Waterloo
county, stied Michael holly, ofClin-
ton, for some $80, the price of two
twenty gallon parcels of spirits.
From what we have learned of tho
matter the account was disputed by
Mr. Kelly, as having bceu paid or
something of that sort. But' his
Counsel rested his defence ou the
fact that the Canada Temperance
Act was in force in this county.
And that such being the case any
sale of liquor for other purposes
than sacramental or medicinal, or
for use in some trade art or manu-
facture, was an illegal sale and that
the'amount involved in such tran-
saction could not bo collected. It
could not be proved that Mr. Kelly
used the liquor for any ofltheso
purposes, in fact he denied the soft'
impeachment that hell was either
priest or minister or doctor, or that
he- was engaged in any work of art
or in the manufacture of any -article
of commerce that required the use
of forty gallons of alcoholic spirits.
Nor did'he use it for4ris own domes-
tic purposes. Ho even went so far
as to declare that he brought the
spirits for the purpose of retailing
it as a beverage, and that the seller
was aware that it was to be used
for such purpose contrary to
the provisions of the Canada Tem-
perance Act. The judge decided
in accordance with the contention of
the dofondont and dismissed the
case with costs against the plaintiff.
A curious feature of the case was
that lawyer Scott, the prosecuting
counsel for the Scott ActAssociaton
of the county, was also counsel for the
plaintiff in this case, in which if he
had succeeded the illegality of tho
Scott Act would have to be admitt-
ed. Mr. Powell conducted the case
for the defendant.
