Nothing has transpired during the past

more promising, as the brine is becoming
stronger, and yesterday it repre ientod 75

been received from Prof. Selwyn, of Ot-

THE PRIVATE SECiETAlsr.—It is with'
pleasure we announce this week that the
famous McDowell Comedy Co, will ap,, ear
in the town hall here ou Monday evening
13ext, when they will present the mirth
provoking comedy, "The Private Secre-
tary." The piece abounds in the most
absurd situations caused by the imperson-
ation by a wild yourg man about town of
his uncle's private secretary, who is a
mild-mannered , curate of most orthodox
inclinations. As a consequence everything
is at Dross purposes, and some excruciat-
ingly funny scenes result. It is rarely that
such a well-balanced and high class com-
pany, like the McDowell's, visit Wingham,
and it is to be hoped they will receive the
hearty encouragement and support of our
townspeople.
OAnxzvw,—The second carnival of the

gids' character costume Miss Minnie Kin-
add, as "Mother Hubbard"' was awarded
first prize, a gold ring. In the gents' com-
petition Robt. Cornyn, as a ;"Knight" , got
first, 20 skating tickets, and Ed. Dinsley,
"Turk,? second, 154skating tickets. Allie
Din'sley, who represented a "Jockey," took
first in tb ;boys-under-twelue competition.
In the competition for best amateur
lady skater a vote was taken by ballot,
among the skaters, and the prize, a pair of
roller skates, was awarded to Miss Sarah
Dodds by is large majority. The green-
horn race didnit conte off,there being no

SIR,—I notice by TIIE: TIAul.s, and
Dante Ruiner also bath it, that you
mean to oiler yourself as a candidate
for this Riding in room of our sitting
(I was about to say sleeping) member.
If so, I entreat you for the sake of
Huron and the :Dominion to pause be-
fern you take this leap in the darty.
Being a non•elector, you may think it.
a piece of gratuitous importinance my
addressing you thus. But, airy a non -
elector as such, and a mere outsider,
is not so apt to have his judgment
warped, as the mere partizan on
either side. This being premised per-
mit me to ask: Has your early train.
ing, or do your avocations give' you
the ghost of a chance in the coining
struggle ? You may answer, "I was
a reeve for some time, and as a grain
dealer 1 know what fanners want."
To the first fact I would say, granted;
but although you were when reeve a
triton among minngws, were you in
Ottawa even now the case would be
reversed, for you would be a minnow
among tritons, a dwarf amidst giants.
That you may know the mind, the
Wishes and the wants of farmers, I
grant at once; but, sir, •there are
burning questions that farmers them
selves are even now discussing. I
fear you would prove a mere ditto
member, reminding one of thepraying
machine of Thibet, whereon your vote
like the prayers, would be fixed, and
Sir John Macdonald,• as political
Pontiff, would grind the organ.

"he Right Man.
To the Editor of Tile TIMES.
DEAR SIR,—I see in your issue of
the 30th alt., that you have (probably
by request) republished an article from
The Golden Rule or Ieouoclast, enti:ed
"The Wrong Man," ;vherein the editor
tries to make sherry over the blunders
he thinks "A Lady Iconoclast " and
Church Official " made in replying
to a former article entitled " Be Lib-
eral," which lately appeared in THE
TIMES. Tho editor of Iconoclast
claims to have been the author of the
article to 1;v1lich we made reply, and
assumes the responsibility. But who
is responsible for its reproduction in
THE `tans ? Not its present editor,
.as he 11as since assumed that honored
chair. I 'am in possession of first-
class authority for the following state-
ments, viz. " That the article ' Be
Liberal' was sent to the editor of THE
WINGIIAM TIMES by a gentleman who,
a short time before that, had charge of
one of the churches in Wingham. It
was sent to his son, and by him hand-
ed to the editor. ,The coley was in
the gentleman's own hand writing, ,
and signed ' Iconoclast, ' It was not
an extract or copy from any other
paper,,. and at that tlme't3~ib editor had
no idea bit that it vitals own pro-
duction. The. "pretended" •author
can take all the tun he likes out of
our replies, but the fact remains that
