paragraphs as if they followed conse-

from the diplomatic paper for the pur-
pose of misleading the public, and
giving, color to ita contention. For
instance : paragraphs 16, 17 and 30 are
quoted, and all the intervening clauses
are left out. Paragraph 16 is explicit on

him for relief, and hie friends even want-
ed him to wind up. No vote was taken,
as the tweeting was clearly in a majority

Yesterday was a memorable day in our
history. It saw the rout of the whisky
party in four out 4 tive counties. It
saw the redemption of Huron by the
largest majority ever polled for the
Canada Temperance Act. It was • day

The tight was forced by the temperance
side from the beginning, and the whisky

OsrrtaRY.-Many of our readers will
hear with feelings of the deepest regret
of the death of Miss Allis Higgins.

Mies Higgins has been in ill -health for
nearly sear, and her death was not un -
looked fur. She c,ntracted a severe
cold which settled on her lungs, an.i ter-
minated in consumption, which finished
its work on Sunday morning last. She
was but twenty yeah of age, and prior
to this was always a remarkably reheat
and healthy person. For some consider-
able time before her illness she hid been
engaged as teacher in the llruesets public
shoal, where she displayed great ability
and aptiude in the profeesien of her
choice, and by her kind and lovable dis-
position had made herself a favorite with
the trustees, her fellow teachers and the
pupils under her charge, and was well
bbd and memorially respected by aH
who knew her. Her bereaved parents
and relatives will have the sincerest sym-
