A Morixnusr correspondent of the
London Standard (the leading British
Conservative organ) strongly combats
the truthfulness of a recent statement
that in the matter df official corrup•
tint' "there is not a pin to choose be-
tween Liberals and Conservatives,
between Ministers and opposition."
"A more unjust statement it would,"
he says, "1,e difficult to melte, Mr
Laurier, the leader of the 'Opposition,

One by one the Giver of all good is
calling to their last resting place the
pioneers of this township, and this
week it is our painful duty to write of
the sudden but not unexpected demise
of Thomas Jobb, at the ripe age of
87 years, who departed from this
world of pain and sorrow on the 9th.
instant. dr. Jobb was a native of
the County of Tyrone, Ireland, In
the year 1836, he and his brother.
John, accompanied by his young wife,
whom he had married a year before,
set sail for Canada. Their voyage
across the ocean was extremely rough
and stormy, but they eventually landed
in Montreal, after being shipwrecked
at Cape St. Peter, where they lost all
their worldly possessions. After a
'good many ups and down's in the world,
he at last moved to this township,
where he took up his late place of
residence. In the fall of 1876, his
aged partner in life departed from her
life on earth. There are seven sons
left to mourn the;loss of a kind, loving
and indulgent father. The remains
of the deceased were interred in
Wingham cemetery and were followed
to their last resting place.. by a very
large concourse• of friends and ac-
quaintances. _:.

Two very daring robberies have
been perpetrated in our town lately.
On. Saturday eveuing, the 14th inst,
the residence of Mrs Oarlin, east
Goderich street, was entered, The
door was left unbolted so that a young
man who boards in the house might
get in. About 9 o'clock a stranger
entered and at once demanded a dollar
from Mrs Carlin, She got her purse
and handed him what he had asked
for, but he immediately demanded the
whole amount in the purse, which
amounted to about $200. Being
alone and feeling frightened she did so,
and the stranger immediately took his
departure as coolly as he had entered..
Upon the return of the border, who
had gone to meet the evening train,
the police were notified and a search
immediately instigated, but no clue
as to the robber could be found. -
On the Sunday evening following, the
residence of Mrs Engles, organist in
St Thomas' church, was entered by a
back window,wliile the lady mentioned
was at church, and the stun of $9.56
was abstracted from a drawer. The
burglar trade his exit the same way he
had entered. No clue as to the guilty
can be found. -The Good Templars of
this town intend holding a coffee

Lower Wingham•
The eventful night of Nov. 22nd is
one ever to be remembered by the
citizens of Lower Wingham and sub,
urbs. The heavy showers which had
lately fallen had swollen the waters of
the Maitland higher than they have
been for nine years, and some firmly
assert that itis worse than the one
we had nine years ago 'All day Sun-
day and Monday the water was grad•
ually'increasing and when the dawn of
Tuesday woke the people were wild
with excitement, as the Wroxeter and
Gorrie dams had given away and the
whole place here was like a great lake,
cellars were brim full and people were
oonipletely shut up in their houses.
Tho sidewalks were flouting, hen coops
were buried beneath the water. Part
of the dam here had broken away
during the night, etc. As the day
wore on,the-water gradually increased.
The Upper Towuites had to cut • away
their dam and this made the
flood excessive. People had to wade
through the water and seek a place of
safety for the night. The roar of the
water would Almost .eolipse that made
by the Niagara Falls. In the evening
part of the race bank gives away, and
this makes things worse, The water
spreads through the principal streets.
Locomotion is stopped. The harmon-
ious sound of business dies away, and
chaos'and excitement is established.
Tho men and boys who have been
working in the factories are shut out
from their homes. What can be done?
The water across the street is nearly
three feet deep. It is now that Mr A
G McDonald's horse is called into
action, and ft ,lid valuable work by
conveying those abroad to their homes.
Night set in, dark and,stormy, and the
•people go to bed. Some in their
neighbors homes and expect to rise in
the morning only to see that their own
house, which they abandoned, had
been swept away during the night. At
last the grey dawn begins to spread
over the water and many an anxious
eye; which could not steep all night,
is directed towards the flood: Then
a smile of thankfulness lit up the
visage of the anxious looker, when he
finds that the water has ceased rising,
and things ire no worse thou the
night before. But the day is very
stormy and houses are separated from
their owners by the great • streams of
water. People want to get home
How can they ? do you ask. Well,
Mr Saml. Lockeridge brings his boat
on to main street and the town would
put you mind of one in Holland. Pao.
pia are ferried to their homes. The ex.
oiternent begins to subside. The water
begins to go down. The latest reports
are that no lives are lost, except three
of Mr Geo Green's hens. sir John
Meliwain's pig was shut in the pen,
but some one rowed over and let it
out. When it saw how things were,it
swam the streams in the streets and
started for Upper Town, apparently
for the butcher ehop,thinkipg it would
rather be butchered than drowned,
but it was delayedandtaken care of
until after the flood went away. And
at last when the aroused feelings are
put down, the folks begin .to think
about those who are sick. How are
they getting along? Well some have
got better and some others have got
worse. Mr Joe Kerr is all right, but
Mrs Kerr and bis mother are very sick
yet.' Mrs Jackson is still very low,
and Miss Maggie Morrison also is
quite ill, suffering from a severe cold
which has settled on her lungs.

that you would pay our flourishing
