THURSDAY, NOV, 1st, 1894, 3R.1'TJSIJ ..?OLr.JT'.l C,S', The government eleetorial campaign in England has fairly opened. Both parties aro very active, and the Con- servatives appear iii high hopes of a return to power, The House of Lords $s the principal topic of agitation,. Lord 1 osoberr'y's speeeh at Bradford was mainly devoted to a discussion of this question, He gave it out as his open• ion,that home rule, and church dises- rablishmeut, and the liquor; question, would be all subordinate to the con- stitutional question—which is the greatest topic of agitation that has oc• cured for two centuries. The British Premier has openly admitted that a second chamber of cowed sort :was an absolute necessity, and he appealed to the eonstituences to take that view of the matter. He regardedithe House of Commons, in. partnership with the House of Lords, as "the predominant partner." The ground taken by Lord Roseberry was that the people of Great Britain were a greater power than thet 'House of Commons in any measure which had for its object a revision of the constitution. The program laid mut by the Premier of England ;was for the Commons first to pass a resolu- tion touching the powers of the Upper Chamber, and then to appeal to the electorate. On the question of whether "Iittle England or greater Britain" was to prevail in the political arena, Lord Roseberry took issue with his pre-decessor (Mr. Gladstone), and more than once the latter had to give way. Since Gladstone's retirement, Mr. La bouchere and Sir Wm. Harcourt have professed to lead the radical;r clique which regards Holland as the ideal commonwealth that ought to be copied by England. But the former leader has scarcely a following, while the present Chancellor of Exchequer's forte is finance. There is no love be- tween the Premier and Sir Win, Ear- sourt; and with the conflicting ele• rents among the Liberals, and the hopeless prospect of union among the Home rulers, there is anything but a smooth future in store for the Rose- berry administration. Lunn. Mr. James Sadlier, G. T. R. Agent, at this place, has been removed to the town of Strathroy. Mr. and Mrs. Sad- lier has spent over ten years in Liman and during that time have become en cleared to everyone.

S. assembled at their resi- dence, and presented them with a beautiful and costly Chair, accompan- ied with a neatly worded address. On Monday night a goodly number of the citizens paid a visit to the G. T. R. Station, and spent a very pleasatt time for several hours. Before leaving they presented Mr. and Mrs. Sadlier with a magnificent Silver Tea Set ac- companied by an address. • Greenway, The Greenway Band of the British and foreign Bible Society will hold their annual meeting at Corbett next Fri- day evening at 8 o'clock.—A gospel temperance meeting and ettertain- anent will be held in Boston Methodist Church Thursday evening, Nov. 1. .Admission free.—Dr. Caw has been Balled several times lately to attend Miss A.

Mr. Theodore Kreeger has a very re- markable and striking novelty in fruit culture in his orchard, being an apple tree, in full bloom which has yielded a heavy crop this season and there is still a quantity of fruit on it, It is as com- plete and profuse as in early spring. This is really a freak of nature.— Every one seemed to have enjoyed the fine weather of the past week and wish it to continue some little timeyet.-Re- vival meetings are still in. progress in the Evangelical church and the people are coming out to the meetings in great numbers. Although the busy season of work is not yet entirely over. It is to be hoped much good will be done by those meetings.—The Y. P, A, of this place held their annual anniyer- sally meeting on Friday evening last, and if reports are true the program given on the evening was a credit to the young people of the society.—One letter too many in an item in the Dash- wood news of the Exeter Times of last week makes quite a difference in the true meaning of the paragraph, It was never the mission of Christ on earth to deal in pigs on the B Line, or any other line, so far as we have learned.

The body was 'discovered by a little son of the deceased about half past. eleven in the forenoon, and at that time life was scarcely extinct. The neighbors were speedily notified and the body removed, and every effort made to restore the unfortunateman to life, but all in vain. The act was a most determined one, the than having to double up his legs iu order to keep them, from the ground. Mrs. Bramfield was at Clinton at the tune. Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, coroner, held an inquest on the remains, and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to his death by hanging, the act having been committed while he was temporarily deranged through over -indulgence in drink.

We are sorry to learn that Mr Rode- rick McKenzie is confined to the house, with a severe attack of lumbago.—The citizeas could not well uuderstand the meaning of such furious driving around back streets for the last couple of days, until it became generally known, tbat Mr. Fred Dundas was conveying terra firma to lay out a new lawn for Mr. D.

McGillivray. A good joke has just leaked out at the expense of two well•known gentle- men from Exeter, one of whom prob- ably is better skilled at handling dry- goods from behind the counter; and the other in compiling the local happenings of his town and vicinity, than they are in finding their way out of a bush. It appears the two young men in ques- tion drove down here from that place is high glee, no doubt wishing to vary the monotony of social and busy whirl, and take back with them a goodly number of that game called black squirrel, After driving their horse back over the farm of Mr. William Dauncey they tied it to the fence and proceeded southward in search of the desired game. After scouring the woods for many miles, and succeeded in bringing down several squirrels, they retraced their steps to where they supposed their horse had been tried; but, lo and be- hold when they got there no horse could be seen and the sun with its crimson hue had by this time sank be- neath the horizon, and it soon became pitch dark. They were now in a great quandry what to do, but dark as it was and weary and tired as they were, a search was made up and down .the fields for the missing horse, but all to no avail They then directed their course, guided by a glimmering light which apnearcd in the distance, to a farm house, The farmer on { seeing their predicament, invited them in to par. take of some e'ood things, to which they did overwhelming justice; and I can assure you it was a surprising fact to see the amount that disappeared. After their capacious "bread baskets" were satisfied the good fax mer put them on track oft the long -looked for steed. We would advise these young gentle men to be more observant in future.— Coss. Tuolkersmith• On the forenoon, of the 28rd inst., a sad accident occurred to a little girl, a daughter of Mr. John McKay, of the 8th on., Tuekersmith, east of the red school house. It seems that the girl who is sevouu years of age was trying to carry two. basins of water, one dold and the other boiling hot, when some how or other she stumbled and sent the hot. water down her back, scalding it throughout its whole extent. A doetor was summoned in haste and dressed 'the scald in the most approved manner and at the last account the little suffer. er was doing as well as can be expect- ed, Th doctor however, warned them that the burn was a dangerous one on account of extent, of surface involved and that she was by no means but of danger.
