do the most good. • •
SENSIBLE FOR ONCE.—T110 editor
of the New.Era is alleged to have
'expressed the opinion that the pro-
test pushers' were a pack of fools
when they withdrew the protest
against Mr. Porter. That, however;
was the most sensible 'thing they
did for some time. Their exhibit of
foolishness was when they entered
the protest.

opposite side . of the street, and
whom he thought might have drop-
ped it while endeavoring to get
"satisfaction" out of the Tories.
To say that Mr. R, used the murder-
ous weapon in a "threatening.
manner' is a gratuitous reflection
on the character of a law-abiding
citizen. „
CHEERING NEWS FROM OLD
HURONITES.—On Monday we re-
ceived from Mr.. J. H. Elliott, for-
merly of Goderich township, now
of Carberry, Manitoba, a letter with
enclosure for two NEws-Rnconn
subscription's, one for himself and
ono for Mr. Thos, Muirhead. Mr.,
Elliott and neighbors are evidently
prospering, and an extract from his
letter will be interesting to old
friends in this vicinity. He writes:
"The crops in this country are
splendid -35 to 40 bushels to the
-acre. •William Elliott, an old resi-
dent of Stanley, has 6000 bushels
of grain from 160 acres, Thos.
Mnirhead has 5000 bushels, I had
1600 bushels 3f wheat- from 50
acres. NVe got from 52 to.54 cents
a bushel,"

AN OLD JOURNALIST SAYS :—A
county editor is one who roads news-
papers, writes on any subject, sticks
type, folds papers, makes up mails,
rune errands, saws wood, works in
the garden, is blathed for a thousand
things he never thought of, works
hard all day, is Subject to spring
fever, helps people into office who
forget all about it afterwards and
very frequently gets cheated out of
his earnings ; he puffs up and does
more to build up the town and,
country than anyone else, and the
miser and fogy aro benefitted, yet
they will not take the paper, but
will borrow tt and read it and cuss
the fool editor.
ABOUT TROUSERS.— The St.
Thomas Journal had the following
in a recent issue :—A story is being
whispered around in confidence
by those who pretend to know its
truth, to the effect that a certain
married man when he got down
town the other morning found, in
putting his hands in his pocket,
a roll of $170 in bills. His eyes
bulged out when he froze to
the wad, and he could hardly believe
his eight, until looking at the pants
he wore he found that they belonged
to some other fellow. He returned
home to demand an explanation
from his wife, but found that she
had departed.
JOURNALISTIC.—Wo are glad to
notice that editor Laing of The
Kiucardiue Review is preparing to
expend $1,500 on new mac inery
and type. Tho money was raised
by a sufficient number of su scrib-
ers paying five years subscripton in
advance. Mr. Laing deser es to
succeed, and it is a p1eure to
learn that his success is, to some
extent at least, commensurate with
his undoubted deserts. Consider-
ing the location of the .Review in
a lake town, and that,not the county
seat, and of, necessity deprived of
a constituency ,on ode side, it is mar
-
•venous how the Review has forged
ahead since the present proprietor
took charge of it a couple of years
ago. It is one of the very best
local papers in Ontario, probably in
Canada. It is conducted with an
intelligent appreciation of the func-
tions of a local paper that is verily
beyond all praise. Another( excel-
lent exchange, 7'/,e Brussels Post,

was mtilct'd in -$50 daiinges for
injuries sustained by ono Foy in
falling over a loose plank in the

ligence on the part of the corpora-
tion. There are a number of loose

that may •lead to trouble if not at-

DIDN'T *ANT TO GET INTO HOT
WATER.—There was a 'quilting bee'
at the house of one of our residents
the other afternoon.' About a -score
ofjolly matrons wore present. The
hostess was obliging enough to "lend
a neighbor the loan of some of Ito
water" to help to take the feathers
of a pig which the neighbor had
engaged. the "Captain" to go through
the operation of "sticking" and
dressing. The "Captain" • got as
far
as the door in quest of the hot
water, but when he saw the house
full of women folk lie came to a
sudden halt, his eyes dilated with
surprise, he pinched himself iu
in. order to get the assnrance that
he was yet in the flesh and not in
full view of the portals of paradise.
He was urged to come in by the
dulcet strains of about a wore of fem-
inine voices. But the "Captain,"
was not to be 'inveigled by tho'
sirens. He would not trust to their
mercy. They assured him that
they were all married women and
that ho would be safe. "Married is

Tv IS, NONE' Or OUR FUNERAL. --
When the Clinton Gritprophets
wore starting on their pilgrimage to
Goderich last spring to do up' the
blawsted Tories, a kind hearted
Conservative was struck . with the
dolorous aspect of the crowd and
asked if they were going to a funeral,
'"Ves 1" was the reply, "and we
will show you Tories the liveliest
corpse you ever saw iu West Huron."
The corpse has •Iiot, turned .out very
lively. It has been buried- a thous-
and fathoms deep, and witli it the
hopes of faction, Gritism and
revenge. Requiescat in pace.
Now AND •THEN,.—After the last
general election wo were ,told by
our town cotem. that there was more
than enough bribery in Clinton
alone to unseat Mr. Porter. Wo
wore told that men had been bonght
(like cattle) for $4, others • got $10
.
for a bag of potatoes, tea was paid
for votes, etc., etc. In fact the
Tories of 'Clinton were set down as
a lot of criminals, and at the proper
time the Courts would make some
terrible disclosures. The way the
matter now stands the New Era's
Statements do not appear to have
been very truthful. It should crawl
into a hole and pull the hoie in
after it.

CHEESE It.—It is estimated that
there are 38,000. boxes of cheese
north of Stratford, which . Includes
the Listowel district, yet unsold,
about 35,000 in the London district,
and 25,000 in -the smaller districts,
such as Tilsonburg, Ingersoll and

about 100,000 boxes yet unsold west

GIVE THE BOY A LIFT.—"IS it
any kindness," writes a perplexed
uncle "to give a stupid boy a Nigh
Sc000l educationi" Certainly it is.
It makes him much stupider.. If
stupidity is his only talent, develop
it, strengthen it, increase its general
density, and it will be useful to
him. It . will get him elected a
school trustee, and maybe make him
president of the I.:loard of Education.
Don't bury his talent.
VANDALISM SUSTAINED. — Chief
Justice Galt decided an important
question Friday, in the ease of the
Queen vs. Stonge., Defendant, who
was an employe of the G. N. W.
Telegraph Co, had been convicted
B
in arrie for having destroyed trees
while at work arranging and repair-
inabtelegraph wires. Upon motion
made to .quash the conviction, His
Lordship held that under Mc statu-
tes relating—thereto, a telegraph
company and their servants are ex-
onerated from blame in respect .of
illjurice to trees, so long as no
unnecessary damage is done„ The
conviction was quashed.
- HURON PRESBYTERY.—The Pres-
bytery .of Huron, met in Seaforth,
Tuesday of last week. The Presby-
tery recommended that the assembly
meet triennially instead of annually
and that commissioners be elected
by rotation and that their expenses
be paid. A remit on the marriage
question'was deferred. The Book
of .Forms was submitted to a emit -
tee consisting of Messrs. McDonald,
Dr. Uro, 'Stewart, McLean, Scott,,
and McCaughey, to report at next
meeting. The: resignation of Rev.
Mr. Thompson, of Hensall, occupis
ed the attention of Presbytery for
some time. Mr. Thompson declar-
ed his adherence to his .resignation
as his medical adviser said a chancre
was necessary. Members of Presby-
tery were heard expressing regret at
parting with Mr. Thompson. It
was agreed to accept of his resignat-
ion and the pulpit be declared vac-
ant on Sabbath December 4th. by
"Mr. Fletcher and that he act as in-
terim Moderator of Sessiou. The
call to Mr. Simpson, Brucefield,
from Goderich, was read by Dr.
Ure. Tho call was signed by 307
members and 229 adherents; salary
$900 and free manse. Mr. McDonald
was appointed to exchange pulpits
• with Mr. Simpson on Sabbath,
November 20th, and cite the con-
gregation to appear for their inter-
ests in Willis' church, Clinton, ou
December 6th, at eleven o'clock, a.
m. The next meeting of Presbytery
is to be held in the Thames Road
church, ou the third Tuesday of
January, 1888, at eleven o'clock,
a. m,, and hold the Sabbath school
conference on Wednesday, com-
mencing at nine a. m. Instead of
of entsrtaining the members of the
congreffation, they were all taken to
Weir's Royal Hotel, it being deem-
ed right that as Mr. Weir is keep-
ing a temperance hotel all the legiti-
mate patronage possible should be
placed in his way.
