Or THE
Gaeri-entre --
H suing accepted the ,x,sition of Pro-
* iocial Treasurer in Mr, Mowat'. Ad-
.ninistratien, my seat for the West Rid-
ing of Huron thereby becomes vacant,
and 1 must seek again at your hands a
renewal of tett confidence which you
have so tteneruusly extended to oto on
former occasions. The general policy of
the Guvorutnent having been so recently
placed before you, discussed, and by your
vutea,approved, I need not on this occa-
sion make any special reference to many
cf the Provincial questions then brought
before you. But 1 think it is due to yob
to make the assurance that upon- those
most important and vital questions, the
territorial and legialetit•e right♦ of the
Province the Government are determined
that in the future as in the pant those
rights will bo firmly defended and main-
tained.
In accepting the position tendered ate
I do so with a deep aen.e of the respon-
sibilities assumed, and of the honor con-
ferred upon me. I accept it at consider-
able personal sacrifice, but I feel that
having taken upon myself the trusts you
have committed to ore as your represen-
tative, I e.tonot in justice to you refasc
to give to the Aduriuisiratiuu of Mr.
Mowat my best services in the snore Ma -
portant position I have been called up-ln
to fill ; and I can assure you treat while
the opportunities to advance your inter-
ests may be greater its the more re-
sponsible position of a Minister of the
Clown, the desire to faithfully serve
you in the future will be no less sincere
than in the past.
Trusting that the course 1 have taken

noble work, at.d worthy of the devotion
of the earnest ant godly woman who
has given her life to it. It was our
pleasure when in Stratford recently to
pay a visit to the beautiful house now
occupied by Dtias Macpheraon's co-work-
ers, acid their wards. A few weeks 1
ago tho Home was removed_ from Galt
to Stratford, questions of health and geo-
graphical position making it necessary.
The Galt property was sold for the exact
sum required to purchase the fine man- .
sion and estate of Mr. McFerlano, whit
had .removed froin Stratford to Toronto,
and that place was bought. We had the
honor of taking tea with Miss Macpher-
son, and when seated beside her she told
es over the steaming cup something
about the work of her life. She is a
woman of faith, and of energetic work,
too. At a previous visit we had bean
shown over the commodious building.
The .dormitories, with their rows of
little cote, covered with counterpanes,
into which are worked texts of scrip-
ture, hooked snug and cosy. The
walls are adorned by pretty and appro-
priate mottoes,the work of trends across
the sea, The boys and -girls seemed to
have good care, and showed the English
love for singing by rendering some sim-
ple songs and hymns in a hearty manner
Mrs. Merry, sister of Miss Macpherson,
with her husband, is in eharge of the
Stratford Home. Visitors from Gude-
rich will at all times be made welcome
and shown over the premises. The
Home is kept up by voluntary offerings
and new or old clothing for boys or girls
will always be accepted by those who
have the desire to help in the good wort.
Miss Macpherson left on the Sardinian
on Saturday. A prinosea of the blood
royal was on the ship, but a no lees
queenly woman went when Annie Mac-
pherson took passage en another visit to
the workhouses and gutters of England
to lift up the fallen, look after the ne-
glected. and Mar the glad tidings of
God's love to the fatherless and stricken
children of the eld lased.

been offered to and accepted by Col.
Alexander M. Roes, M. PP. for West

emphatically one upon which the Pro-
vince is to be culyratuleted. During
his eight yetu'' reprosontation of West
Huron Colonel Ross has taken the moat
active share pxnssilrlo in the debates of
the House. His p.revi.rus e.treer as a

diligently to aequiring an acquaintance
with the financial affairs of the Province,

of almost any lawyer in the land, and
his long experience in the county
treasurership hes even hint unrivalled
opportunity for becoming acquainted
with municipal athirs generally. He
has also a sound, accurate, and practical
idea of the requirements of agricultur-
ists, and is the happy possessor of an in-
born and cultivate) taste for rural pur-
suits. In his hands, it is safe to con-
clude, the various Provincial agricultural
inetitutiuna will be well managed.
Colonel Ross is in tae prime of life, is
possessed of remarkable mental and
bodily vigor, is an indefatigable work-
er, and is personally one of the moat
highly respected of men. His lone and
honorable service in the volunteers has
brought him into coat..•s t with the risiug
manhood of the country, and it is safe to
say that none who have met hint can fail
to have been favorably impressed.
Colonel Rosa will be sworn in this
morning as Pro*-inoial Treasurer and
Commissioner of Agriculture.
