THE LONDON DISASTER.
Tee new of the terrible disaster on
the Thames, between Sprinvb.nk and
London, will cause a thrill of horror to
go to every heart. That over two
hundred huinan beings, of all grades,
ages and sexes, should be hurried into
eternity in a moment, --in the "twinkling
of an eye"- is a fearful thing to contem-
plate. The quick transition from joy to
sadness, from mirth to despair, from life
to death, will strike everyone who will
give thought to the catastrophe. That
the blare of the direful event rests up-
on some shoulder none will doubt, and
if it be discovered upon whom rests. the
blame, it is but right that just condem-
nation should be accorded. If in hot
blood a miserable wretch strikes down
his victim, the law requires satisfaction
for the offence; how much more should
retribution be demanded of those who
are responsible for the wholesale destruc-
tion Of life, such as that which has hap-
pened at London. An investigation
should at once be called for, and al-
though no result, however satisfactory,
will lift the pall of death, or dispel the
gloom from mourning hearts, yet an
act just and proper will have been done.
That in this enlightened land the greed
for gain on the part 4 the proprietors of
a pleasure boat, or any other public con-
veyance, should be so great as to render
them neglectful of the safety of the
hundreds entrusted to their charge, is a
matter deserving of the greatest censure.
To our mind, the Biddulph murderers
are less deserving 0 the extreme penal-
lty of the law, than the man or men
responsible fur the fearful disaster at
London.
AY our next Town Council meeting we
would like to see suiue we.uber suffi-
ciently public-spirited to make a move in
the direction of • new railway. The
action will be beyond doubt, a popular
one, for almost every )resident of the
town Isar the nOatter (ri heart. Public
opinion 1W giv n no unvy(pui sound
oaths railway question, and es claim
that it is now iiticumbent upon the
prwwntatives 4 the people at the Muni-
cipal Board to bestir themselves. Now
or never, gentlemen
We learn that Mr. E. MoGilhcu.idy of
Lanbton County, his brother and two
sisters have been left • legacy 0 $40,000
in the Old Country. Ned u • decent
fellow, anyhow, and we wish ]titn luck,
but we hope he won't offer us any 0 the
legacy, for fear we would hurt his feelings
by a refusal. When Sir Richard Mc-
Gillicuddy died in 1867, we wouldn't
have anything to do with the property,
for the Fenian excitement was at
its zenith, and being an Irish landlord
was considered an unhealthy business.
Since that time the mortality amongst
landlords in Ireland has, if anything,
been uu the increase, and although edit-
ing a newspaper is considered an un-
healthy occupation, we prefer to stay at
it than go into the landlord business
in Erin. It is appointed unto all men
to die once, but we prefer to depart
quietly 0 starvation, through the medi-
um of delinquent subscribers, than be
aided by some broth of a boy in the
Owld Sod, with a fowling piece and snipe
shot, to "shake off this mortal coil:",
When it conies our tarn to leave this
vale of tears, we want to do it decently
and in order, with our boots off, and our
face turned quietly to the wall. If we
accepted our patrimony, we might be
ushered out so hurriedly, that we would
not have time to lose our latchets, and it
would gall us to be "laid out" with our
boots on. You can take the bonanza,
Teddy, avick, but as for us and our
house, we'll stay in Canada; and you need
never be afraid of us contesting your
right in the matter.
A "MTTHERLESS BAIRN
SENATOR McLEL. is has decided to re-
sign his position in the Upper House,
so that he may be enabled to accept a
seat in the Dominion Cabinet. He is not
satisfied, however, to till the Conserva-
tive gap in Pictou, caused by the ap-
pointment of Hon. James Macdonald to
the position of Chief Justice of Nova
Scotia, and has insisted upon the open-
ing of Colchester county -his old con-
stituency -for his candidacy. So much
the better, say we, ft,r,the chances of
Liberal gains. Colchester may seem to
the Senator to be his pocket -borough;
but he ought -to remember that the Con-
nels held a similar view 0 Carleton
county, when they counted without
David Irvine's opinion. The Senator has
been successful in days gone by, but
there is a possibility that he may meet
his "Waterloo" at Colchester, in the en-
suing contest.
THE Donnelly murder affair has been
galvanized into life through the efforts
of an enterprising scribe of the London
Free Press, About a week ago, a
"cock -and bull" yarn, of some columns
in length, in effect that the two Feeh-
ley's had made a confession, corroborat-
ing the evidence of Johnnie Connors,
was published. The sensational article
revived the interest in the murder, and
caused discussion amongst the wiseacres
and "foolish -acres" too, for twenty-four
hours, but the subsequent silence of the
journals, respecting the alleged confess-
ion, testify to the mere sensationalism
of the Free Press report. Yarns of the
description alluded to, may be in order
on the lut 0 April, but our London con-
frere was a nnonth and a half late, and
exhibited ban taste in publishing the
swish.
LORD SELBORNE, writes to Rev, Mr.
Hingeston on the Bradlaugh cane, that
he can see no reason fur making a mar-
tyr of Mr. Bradlaugh, and that the tac-
tics at present pursued by the ss. -called
religious opponents of the athiest can
only have the result of causing the mem-
ber -elect for Noartharnptns to be looked
upon as the victim of persecution.

Tiro annual meeting 0 the members
of the Muehaties' Institute was held this
twentieth day of May, 1881.
Mr. Humber, l'resideut in She chair.
Mr. Geo. Sheppard, Secretary.
Minutes of the last annual meeting
read, and un motion of Mr. Van Every,
seconded by Mr. Bullpen, were confirm-
ed.
The report of the Directors for the
past year w then read, and on motion
of Mr. Hamlllton, seconded by Mr. Clu-
ens. was adopted.
One ,of these little incidents which
have a tendency to create a great com-
motion in the community in which it
occurs happened in Goderich on Friday
night about 9:40 o'clock. At that time
the servant girl employed in the house of
:tfr. Robt. Henderson, was startled by a
knock at the door. As Mr. Henderson
was away attending to his duties of Deputy
Gaoler, and Mrs. Henderson was absent
on a visit to friends in the country, the
girl was greatly surprised at the rap-
ping, and was undecided for a few min-
utes as to whether she would open the
door, which was locked at the time.
Finally she went to the door and asked
"Who's there," and receiving no reply
she went to the side dour, and again
asked if any one was there. There was still
no answer, and seeing nobody, the girl
went around the verandah, and approach-
ing the front door, discovered an in-
fant lying on the door step. The child
was apparently about a month old, and
exceedingly well dressed. With the
child was a quantity of night clothes
and a change of linen, a nursing bottle, a
flask of condensed milk, and a $10 bill
enclosed in the following note :
'Mo*. HENDRRSON,-Please take this
little waif of mine, and make her your
own. Enclosed is only a part of what I
will send, if you take her and (10 not
make any endeavor to find who is her
mother. I have money, but like many
more got led astray. I have heard of
your goodness of heart, and believe you
will take the dear little one and make
her your owit. She will bring a blessing.
Go to the express office to -morrow for
parcel."
The girl teat very touch Mustered on
making the discovery, and locking the
doors, ran off to inform the neighbor-
hood 4 the arrival of the little stranger.
Mr. Henderson was at once summoned,
and he ordered the wee one to be taken
into the house, and cared for. He then
went up town to enquire if night watch-
man Sturdy had noticed any strange
woman and child on his beat, but could
discover no clue to the mystery. Heals() at-
tended the departure of the morning
train on Saturday, but without seeing
any sign of any person upon whom he
could fix suspicion. Enquiring of Con-
ductor McKnight if any woman and
child had come up, on the 7 o'clock train
the evening before, he learned that such
an one had got on at Clinton, and bought
her ticket on the coach, paying for it
with an American 50c. piece. This was
all the information he could glean.
Mrs. Henderson, on corning home on
Saturday at noon, was made aware of
the arrival 4 the little cherub, and at
once decided to adopt it. The in-
fant is a pretty little thing, with a
good share of dark hair, fine dark -blue
eyes, a cunning little nose, and a full
crop of prettydimplea. Shehas had a large
number of callers during the past week,
and all who have seen her greatly praise
her good looks and winning ways. The
child will be called Agnes MAY Hen-
derson, the first name after the foster
mother, the second in remembrance of
the month in which she helped to swell
the ranks of the Goderich girls, and the
third to identify her with the family of
which, though unbidden, she had be-
come a sseber Mrs. Hendersonteldie
the wee one had already wormed itesir
into ler heart, and Bays she would est
like tovet with it.
Mr. Henderson called at the ',tints.

REPORT or DIRECTO&t,
We, your retiring Direotore, beg to
present you with an account of the luau -
agement 0 the Institute during the past
year
.Meaux rehii.- Tho membership for the
past year has not been as large as we
would have wished, being 152, of which
59 are mechanics. A number of ladies
have become members during the year,
and a considerable number 4 the young
people have also availed themselves of
the privileges of the reading rtx,m and
library.
\'ctr Ittvk..-During the year we have
added 226 new books to the library, con-
sisting of history-, biography, voyages
and travels, scientific and philosophical
works, and works of fiction, at an ex-
penditure of $259.34. Besides this, $92
have been appropriated for books which
will be very soon on the shelves of the
library. There have been issued from
the library during the year, 1,312 vol-
umes.
Rrad'n, Ronne- The reading, room,
which is open every day (except unday)
from 9 an., to 10 p.m., is fairly patron-
ized. It is supplied with seventeen
daily and weekly newspapers and seven
magazines.
Lectures cud Entertaiwnenta. - We
have had one lecture and one local enter-
tainment. The lecture, though fairly at-
tended, resulted financially in a small
los, owing to the almost unpassble
state of the roads. The local entertain-
ment, bath financially and as a literary
entertainment, was very successful, re-
sulting in net proceeds to $31.90.
Your Board has to thank the Munici-
pal Council of the town for the grant of
$100. This amount, with the legislative
grant of $400, and the subscriptions
from members and donations, makes the
whole receipts 4 the year $927.03.
Your Board had the 'natter of evening
classes under consideration, but owing
to the difficulty of securing peeper ac-
commodation, did not take any action.
We would draw your attention to the
Treasurers report, which shows a de-
tailed statement of the receipts and ex-
penditure.
In retiring, your Directors would urge
upon the members the necesity of mak-
ing an effort to increase the membership.
We think that with a very alight effort
each member could secure one other,
which increased subscription would en-
able the Direct'8rs to successfully carry
on the working if the Institutg.
During the year we lost by death one
of our fellow -Directors, and according
to constitution filled the vacancy by the
election of Mr. W. R. Miller.
In closing, your Directors would sug-
gest that our constitution be BO amended
as to make the Board of Directors consist
of nine members instead of thirteen, viz:
a President, two vice -Presidents, a Sec-
retary, a Treasurer and four Directors.
THE TREASURER'R REPORT
was then read and on motion of Mr. F.
Johnston, sec. by Mr. Mcgaw, was
adopted.

Mr. Humber then submitted seine
changes in the regulations relating to
Mechanics' Institutes, sent for consider-
ation by the Minister of Education. It
was decided to leave the matter for the
consideration of the Directors. Mr.
Humber then thanked the members for
the position of President, which he had
occupied for two years, but owing to his
time being so fully occupied, must de-
cline their very urgent request to allow
himself to be re-elected.
The chair was then vacated, and on
motion, Mr. Van Every was choe"n
chairman, and the election 0 officers for
the ensuing year proceeded with.

pected this year. May it never he
otherwise.
FIRE. -About half past four on Satur-
day morning our citizens were awakened
from their slumbers by the cry of "Fire!"
and the ringing of the alarm bell. It
was ascertained that the fire was in
Christie & Robertson s Planing Mill,
and thither many hastened, others run-
ning for the fire engine, which was
quickly on the scene, but nut until all
need for its services had been dispensed
with, the flames having been extineeish-
ed by, the use of buckets.
PERSONAL -On Wednesday, the 9th
inst., Messrs. Andrew and D. McCall and
Archibald Hamilton, left here for the
city of Alpena, Mich. The former make
a jolly livelihod ploughing the waters of
the deep, as fishermen, while the latter
was a laborer. We did not hear what
employment he intends taking up after
he lands. We wish them a safe and
pleasant journey, also a long life in their

There was considerable excitement in

10 a. m. During the afternoon the
the programme consisted of running,
jumping and other athletic sports, which
were well contested. In the evening a
concert was given in the Temperance
Hall, which was largely attended. Mrs.
John Bennett sang very acceptably. The
singing by the Misses Mutch was ad-
mired. W. J. Seymour on the horizontal
bar called forth much applause.
During the day some of the old bum-
