With this issue Tux SIGNAL enters on itilsoand year under our management. On the let of September, 1880, the pre- sent pnprietors assumed control of the journal, and a complete change was the result. The typographical "make-up," as well aa the general style and tone of the paper, was at once changed, and re- sulted In the production of a much - improved sheet, viewed from • lite- rary as well as a mechanical standpoint. Immediately dier the publication of the first /sate under our control, we received a congratulatory letter from the then Mayor, B. L Doyle, Esq., testifying, to the great improvements made by us in Tns SIGNAL, mechanically and other- wise; and time and again have similar expreastons of appreciation been receiv- ed by as from other sources. From the veins outset the subscription list inereae- ed, and the a Ivertising custom grew larger, until to -day we occupy a position second to few Provincial journals. Our object has been to provide a wide- awake, newsy journal for this section of th,e country, and we take pride in know- ing that our efforts have nat been in vain, if the increaxed business which Las been our portion noi be looked up - .on as a fair criterion. With confidence we now enter the -_noming year, in the firm belief that, as -in the past our conduct Of TkIl HURON Sweat has merited the approval of the reading public in this section, so will onr efforts to produce a well -printed newsy, cleanly -written family journal be appreciated as fully in the time to come. , 1881.

The municipal council that would re- commend a high rate of taxation just to get a surplus, would be looked upon as public robbers. Our Conservative friends are not in favor of a municipial Surplus, for they must pay that directly; they glory in a Dominion surplus, which they assist to pay indirectly. They fail to see that the custoin house officer and the tax collector are twin brothers. Ls IT DINLoYA L T ? SIR Hector Langevin, st the dinner given in his honor by theTownCouncilof Goderich on Thursday of last week, en- deavored to prove that the abolition of the Senate would knock the principal pillar froin under the structure raised at Confederation. The Speaktr gave a history of the consummatiori of Confeder- ation,andgave reasons why the Senate was formed, but omitted to mention a sin- gle instance wherein the Upper Cham- ber had showed that it was of any ser- vice whatever. We have always contend-• ed, and will continue so to do, !notwith- standing the special pleading of the Hon. Minister of Public Works in its behalf) that the Senate is lif no practical use in the government, of the country, and were every member in it to be called hence in a day, no clog would result to the wheels of Government. Pessibly it was right that soft seats should be inade for a number of worn-out political hacks at the time or Cenfetleration, but the necessity for perpetuating the nuisance has tang ago ceased to exist. Our Tory friends, in Ontario. who despair of ever holding power in this intelligent Pro- eince, are eternally bewailing the fact that we are too much governed, and ere anxious to abolish the Provincial Legis- lature --perhaps the neat useful House of all, to, far as w e are cancern- .ei Surely they must b..1, aware that eur Legislatures %are given us under the raltnanie Act as the Senate, and that if the advocacy of the abolition of the Sen- ate is Ilisloyal, murmuring against the Legislature is equally disloyal. For our I.wn part, we believe that advocating any constitutional change is not a loyal act, and we are willing to see any Home abolished se soon as "its use- fulness is gone,- and it has ceased to he a reflex .4 popular opinion. If the Poi- vincial Legislature has reached that stage, we are willing that the prayer of our Try friends in the matter should be heard. and we will not stigmatize thein as being disloyal when they advacate it* constitutional removal. But we claim —the lame right to express our opinion on any .1 the .aherCharabers that nomi- nally veer* tbe Dominionand have le, hesitancy in stating that the Senate has long ago easeed to he of any practical vidue as an eapemint .1 public 4pinion in the Gevernment of Canada.

See how vigorous the grow- ing wood looks on the trees." And certainly Mr. LeTouzel's treat- ment of his orchard seem to have ooni- pletely rejuvenated it. The farm con- sists of 160 acres, and the plough is kept going pretty steadily, as Mr. LeTouzel believes in good cultivation. He has some choice fall wheat this season, show- ing that his cider and sorghum enter- prise has not led hini to neglect the rais- ing of good grain. Our visit to Cherrydale, however, was chiefly to make a note of the new indus- tries just inaugurated on the farm, and regarding them we gleaned the follow- ing facts : TH1 Government have now three Senatorship. at their disposal. One vacancy, caused by the death of Senator Bull, is beyond question an opening for a western man. Of course there will be a number of aspirants for the position made vacant in the west, but we do not believe that a more graceful tribute could be paid this section that would be done were our energetic townsman, Mr. Joseph Kidd, appointed to the position. Mr. Kidd is a shrewd and successful business man and a staunch supporter of the party in power. His appoint- ment would give satisfaction to all par- ties in this section. NON- RT IZ A -V RECEP TIONS. We would suggest that, at any future demonstration gotten up by the Town Council in honor of a Minister of the Crown, discriminetion be exercised by the committee of management with respeet to the naming of gentlemen to respond tdo toasts. On Thursday of last week the greatest unanimity of feeling was evinced by the representative men of both political parties to do honor to the Minister of Public Works. Reform- ers vied with Conservatives in endeavor- ing to make the sojourn (4 the hon. gentleman in Goderich as pleasant as posaible, and the result was that Sir Hector will remember his reception by the Council of Goderich, when the recol- lection of his visit to other places on the present tour will have faded away. Such being the case, it was a pity that some of the gentlemen of the same poli- tical party as the hon. gentleman, had so little sense, that when called upen to reply to certain toasts they found in de- cessary to act like partizans, and en- deavor to direct their remarks to straight political issues. Fortunately the per- sons who thus forget what decency re. quired on the occasion, keow little about the science ef g )verninent,and only talked in the manner they did be- cause 4,f their inability to reply in any other fashion; nevertheless, they suc- ceeded in throwing a damper on the proceedings which would otherwise not have eeen the case. Sir Hector Lan- gevin expressed his regret that the breach in decorum was made by his friends; the prominent Conservatives present 1.bjected to the tenor of the re- marks ef at least one 4,f the speakers, and cut him short in his oratorical flow; and the Reformers felt chagrined that their good offices in helping to make the reception a success had not been ap- preciated, solely through the blunder- ing stupidity of one or two of the lesser lights of the oppoeite party. However, a lessen has been taught and dig this: At no future banquet of a non-partman character should any person's name be coupled with a toast, unless he is known to he able to "open his mouth without putting his foot in it " We're gointo her a multi' time.

The great bulk ot the cider, however, will be made later in the year, for bottling. The mill will be run on the same principle as a grist mill; farmers who bring good apples can get their cider on toll. The entire affair will be run by water power. The power will be supplied ey a neverfailing spring which runs through Cherrydale.

Mr. LeTUlizel leading, we went through a twelve acre field 44 sorghum. The tall canes. waving with their seed crowns away in the air, brought to our fancy a Seuthern plantation scene. The early part of the season was not favor- able for the growth 01 so hum, but during the past two or three weeks it had made rapid growth, and Mr. Le - Teazel expects it fair yield eff his "plant- ation.- The cane will yield from 100 to 150 gallons to the acre, and the leaves make excellent foddet for live stock. Briefly described, the manufacture of sorghum syrup is as f4,11ews: About the close of September the cane is cut. The stalk is caught at the top, and the hand being Orought rapidly down along the cane, the leaves are dexterously stripped. A sharp cut at the second joint severs the cane, and the head is tiung into a heap either for food for stock or for .eed The nine is then cured, and in a few weeks is firelight to the mill. The crusher is a ponderous, one, equal to some 20 tons. The juice is fully ex- tracted, and passes into a large tank. while the refuse, 4,r borgame, goes off into a heap and can he utilised as fuel. The juice is then led into an evaporator, some 16 feet in length, and slowly potato through different compartments, until at -last it arrives at the proper fonsuitence. The syrup is then run into cooler*, and is flnalli.barrelled up for the warehouse. Mr. Le ouzel says he mayattempt the mi enufacture of raw sugar n • few years, when more sorghum is raised.
