ATTACH' O.N SIR JOHN SOY.
We think that the public attack re-
eently mado on Sir John Thompson by
Rev, J. C. Madill, who represents the
P.P.A. organization, was very ill ad-
vised and calculated to do no good lent
stir up strife, As Protestants we boast
•of our religious toleration—as Orange-
men we pride ourselves on inculcating
:liberty of conscience --and in this
young Canada of ours, where the cry
of race and creed shoul I never be al-
lowed to form a barrier to any civic or
,political appointment, it is,,.our deliber-
ate opinion that no. one should be boy
cotted because of his religious opinions,
Sir John Thompson, as Premier of Can-
ada, and holding the responsible once
as well of Minister of Justice, does not
need our feeble defence in the attacks
vhieh have been made upon him from
:time to time by certain Protestant big
tits. But we cannot help reminding
our readers that in Sir John's public
career, since coming to Ottawa, there
is nothing to which an unbiassed pub
lie can point which sustains the charge
of favoritism to Roman Catholics or of
ilnfairness to Protestants. When the
unfortunate Riel trouble came before
Parliament, Sir John Thompson stood
by his farmer chieftain in meting out
justice to a French Catholic who was a.
rebel against British law. Later still,
when Manitoba passed an Act abolish-
ing separate schools in that proyinee,
Sir John resisted all pressure . then
brought to bear upon him for disallow
ing the provincial Act. Again, when
the Privy Council in England declared
the Manitoba School Act to be intra
rite., and petitions were addressed to
Government asking for remedial legis- e
laden, Sir John declined to interfere
but referred the whole question to the
Courts as a question of pure law, And
lastly, when the R. C. minority in the
North West tad their fears aroused
over an ordinance passed. there relat-
ing to education, the Premier again re-
sisted strong pressure on the part of
the Roman Catholics out West asking
for disallowance—and even incurred
the odium of his French co -religionists
who charged him with playing into
the hands of the Protestants. No one
-will deny that Sir John Thompson is
fizeile prine ps the ablest statesman in
Canada; and unless the public can put
its finger on some one act of partiality
or unfairness in his admiuistration of
affairs, when questions of race or re-
ligion came before him, there is no
:ground or reason why he should not
3oe sustained by the electorate of Can
ada when the proper time arrives, nor
• why Mr. Laurier should be chosen as
Premier—who would be more likely
than Sir John to yield to the pressing
demands made upon him by his French
confreres.
ing names haye been given, as their I
insetiptioes will show, vis: Bleak
House, Woodbine, Ivanhoe, East Lynne
Alderstde, Idylwyld,, Chesneywold, Ivy
Cottage, The Oaks, Boffin's Bower,.
Dingley Dell, and Dotheboy's. Hall—
which last is occupied by Mr, and Mrs:
Spackman and occasional family visi-
tors. Besides those neat cottages
which -cart be rented at a moderate
cost by the week er by the month, or
for the season,—there is a dining hall,
a boat house, observatory, dressing
teats for bathers, a grocery with all
needed requisites, and every facility
for swings, and other innocent amuse
ments for young and old. Several
families pitch their tents or marquees
within the camping grounds, and stay
with their families for a good part of
the season. People come from London
Toroute, Detroit, Chicago end many
surrounding towns and villages in
Western Ontario. There is a daily
burr from Parkhill, 13 miles, and a tri-
weekly one from Exeter, 15 miles. Lots
of ladies and children spend weeks here
and much of their time is taken up
with bathing, boating, etc. For tran-
sient tourists there is a large hotel con-
venient affording acommodation for
50 boarders, As to bathing facilities,
they could not be excelled, as the beach
slopes gradually out, and the blue wat-
ers of Lake Huron are so clear and
pellucid that one can see the bottom
readily, and their is no danger for
young or old, It was most refreshing
to plume at early morn or towards
evening twilight into the luxurious
basin of water, where with a cleansing
bath night and morning one feels, like
renewing one's youth. I had nearly
forgotten to state that the social sur
roundings among the occupants of the
several cottages and tents are such
that you feel as if they were just one
big happy family. The evenings are
usually spent in music and laughter,
and the concerts would do credit to any
community. When I listened to the.
music—sacred and secular—in which
he four parts were well sustained,
ither by parties in boats or at their
nug cottages—I could not help think -
ng of Longfellow's words:
The night will be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day
hall fold their tents like the Arabs
ud as silently steal away."
ut my space is nearly exhausted, and
'an only further say, if tourists des-
ire health and comfort at a most mod -
rate rate, they cannot do better than
repair for a few weeks to Grand Beud
Park, H. D. S.

Description of Grand Bend.
THE RECTORY, KIRI;:TON,
August 10th, 1894.
EDITOR ADVOCATE.
Having just returned from a flying
isit to Grand Bend Park, on Lake
Huron, as a short relief frotn the wear
and tear of parochial duty, I Basten to
comply with a friendly request to give
your readers some idea of the above
popular resort. It is only a little over
three years ago since my friend Mr.
John Spackman, of Exeter, inited this
delightful pleasure ground for attrac-
ting tourists in search of pure air and
a summer outing; and now, after a
considerable expenditure of capital, he
earl boast of one of the loveliest parks
on Lake Huron. Already many have
come to appreeiate the advantages of
this summer resort; and, as a, result,
people are flocking from many parts of
Canada and the United States who
have heard of the admirable facilittee
afforded by Grand Bend Park for a
few weeks enjoyment, and of the geni-
al qualities displayed by the proprietor
and his pains ta: ing wife to minister
to the accommodation and comfort of
their many patrons, The grounds se-
lected by Mr. Spackman for this sum-
mer resort consist of over fifty acres
of undulating land, with numerous
little knolls formed criginally by the
Sea or lake on which are interspersed
Clumps of red eedar Norway pine,white
pine, and oak trees in the immediate
vicinity of one of the most beautiful
beachee for bathing to be found in all
Canada, Mr. Spackman has erected
at considerable cost not lessth
t at 12
Cottages on several rising' ; knolls
Of

distance from town cleared off his
whole harvest with the aid of his wife,
who loaded 40 acres of hay, cut 10 ac-
res of oats with a binder, and loaded 20
acres of flax, This farmer should con-
gratulate himself on having such a
worthy helpmate.

Dashwood: We understand that
while Messrs Kalfass & Naoe, were at
Mr. J. B. Foster's and just after they
bad finished threshing, they hitched a
team to tee engine, and the horses
getting' frightened, started to ran away
They did not get far, as they ran, un
der the shed, tore off the smoke stack
and did damage to the extent of about
$50. It was a lucky job that they did
not run into the straw stack, as there
was still fire in the furnace.
Clinton: 11r. John Hunter and Mr
R. Cudmore, who recently went to the
old country with a number of cattle,
taking also several horses owned, by
Mr, P. McGregor, Bruceeeld, they sold
at a good price; Mr, Oliver Johnston's
team were the envy of several, would-
be purchasers, and were left in the
hands of a gentlemen who conditionally
purchased them ; he said they were the
best matched, easiest handled and most
carefully broken carriage team he had
come across..
Blyth: Tuesday noon eicelillan's
saw mill and about 100,000 feet of lum
ber, principally maple, was burned.
The men left the mill shortly after 12
o'clock for dinner, leaving everything
in apparantly good shape,and1n twenty
five min Utes the building was a mass of
flames,
Although the men were only
a few minutes away from the mill, the
lire spread so rapidly that they could
not enter the building from any quar-
ter. Ali the lumber of any conse-
quence was destroyed, • including two
teat -cars which had just been load-
ed for shipping, The men declare the
fire did not start from the furnace and
its prigin is a mystery. Mr. McMillan's
loss is very heavy, a low estimate put-
ting it at $4,500. There is a small in-
suranee. U.
Goderich: On Tuesday evening of
last week, while driving around with
his little-eephew, a sore of Mrs, Tanner
Mr. James Wilson left the rig in fron
of his drug store while he called in fo.
a few minutes. The youngster, who i
about five years old, was snapping thl
whip, when the horse started ori, an
ran around the Square, eluding severs
attempts to stop him, and then dasher
down Newgate street to Mr. Wilson',
house, where, in turning sharply intc
the gateway it threw the boy out
causing one of his legs to be broken
two places and otherwise cutting and
bruising him. Dr. Whitely was sum
mooed and attended to the injuries
and the patient is doing well. The
damage to the buggy was not severe
but the boy's escape from death was
very close.
Stratford: Bush fires have been pre-
valent in this neighborhood for some
days, notably in the Ellice swamps
near Gadshill, to the north, and consid
arable loss and damage is the result
Since Monday and Tuesday' a bad fire
has been in progress in South Easthope;
near the little lakes, and large quanti
ties of cordwood and valuable stand
ing timber have been destroyed. Thr
farmers in this vicinity are kept busy
taking measures for the protection of
their houses and barns, in which they
are assisted very materially so far by
the absence pf wind. A through car
of freight, consisting of gesuera f mer
chandise, from Boston to Chicago, hi
bond, took fire when near Tavistock
yesterday afternoon, and 'there being
no means at hand for extinguishing,
the flames, the car was detached from
the train and allowed to burn, result-
ing in the total loss of the car and con-
