Then followed the speeches. The chairman was Mr. John Neil, County Master, South Huron, who called on Mayor Gray, who, in. behalf of tlae town welcomed the Orangemen and hoped it would soon be Seaforth's turn to have them back again. Rey, J. Hodgins Seaforth, corrected, the prevailing error held by many in reference to the Orangemen. It was their object to advance the eause of temperance and morality, and lend as- sistance to all in need, regardless of re- ligious denomin.ations or beliefs. It was not the intention of Orangemen to iusult Roman Catholics, but to promote good feeling among all citizens. Rev. Mr. Bond dealt with the Mani- toba scheol question as it affected the Orangemeu and all protestants, and called upon all to stand up for the re. leligious and civil rights of the people of Manitoba, and to resist all endeav • ours of Rome to force Separate sell Dols upon the people of that province. Dr. J. Freeborn, of Clinton, followed, and made a telling address, on much the saris° lines. Rev. Mr. Stout, of Hensall, county chaplain, made a strong plea to all Protestants, Rome had professed to have been reformed, but her actions had proved differently. It was the ob- ject of Orangemen to free the. country from the tyranny which the Pope and the Church desired. Other speakers were Dr, McDonald, Seaforth, and the Rey. Mr. Armstrong, Bayfield.

Burned to Death. J. W. Reid, a tailor residing at Ailsa Craig, was burned to death there on Friday last. He was in a house, which caught fire, it is said, through a lamp being tipped over, and Reid was not able to save himself. He is alleged to have been drinking, Crown Attorney Magee, of London, received word of the accident, and has ordered Coroner Anderson to hold an inquest. Ried was a comparatively young fellow, and a good workman, but addicted to per- iodical sprees, 20 lashes George leavie is now the names for the irrepressible "Dr. Lock, hart," of carnal propensities, and be answered on s Saturday for a fiftle charge before His Honor Judge Doyle. An owaer has been found for the horse and rig with whits's. he entered this county, in the person of Jonathan. F. Quigley, of lot 28, con. 3, Lambton. county, who is an uncle of the insatia- ble Doctor. George was charged be- fore P. M. Seeger with stealing the horse, ho.rn,ess, sulky, a robe and. an overcoat, and as the eyidence was over- whelming he owned up without any waste of words. In the hearing a lets ter was read which he had written, his ",dear uncle," with whos ! he was stay- ing, and had left on the table when be Was nsovecl by force of desperate cir- curnstanees to take the goods and chattels aforesaid and depart from Eupheraia township. The document is a curious one, ond characterizes its writer as either every stupid ora very audacious criminal. On Tuesday His Honor Judge Doyle spoke at some length on the enormity of the offence against the Charlton act and the cases of indecent assault and afterwards of his gross conduct in the stealing case. He then sentenced Lockhart to five years in penitentiary and to receive twenty strokes with the cat, ten to be administered in the third year of im- prisonment and ten in the fifth. Oa the three charges of indecent assault the sentence was one year for each, and for the horse -stealing. and theft or cart and harness, the prisoner, in the name of Geo. Davie got three years on each, the whole of the sentences to run concurrently. Clinton: Just at 12 o'clock on Wed- nesday, a stable at the north end of town, used by Mr. John Medd, was dis- covered to be on fire. The Fire Com- pany promptly responded to the alarm, and in just about 15 .minutes after- wards the fire was completely subdued. This is remarkable quick, considerine that the engine and the hose had to be taken eight hundred yards. The fire had communicated to thee/kitchen of the house also, but was stopped before much headway bad beeis made, In the stab. le was Mr. Skid's horse, which it was impossible to release, and the poor brute was suffocated, It happened that Mr. Medd, was away, having gone to London for the day, Tho origin of the fire la a tuYaterY, belt suppesed to have been caused by a child playing with matches. There was no tissue. since. • Ailsa Craig: Mr. Charles McCabe of Dundalk, who has leased the Queen's Hotel, for a term of years, took charge of the hotel -premises on the 5th inst. The new proprietor is a genial, whole- souled and energetic man and has been one of Dundalk's most prominent busi- ness men, from, which place he brings most excellent testimonials of his ster- ling worth and character. Hensall: While at Grand Bend Mr - John MacArthur, hardWare merchant here, met with a bad accident the other day, one which caused his lying at the Bend several days. He was driving along the road, when the horse shied, and turning suddenly, the buggy cap- sized, throwing Mr. MacArthur violent- •ly on the ground. Besides some minor injuries, Mr. Mac had one oT his legs broken at the ankle. Parkhill: Mr, W. M. Thompson, who has been Grand Trunk station agent here for twenty years, has gone to Can- field Junction, between Brantford and Fort Erie where he will have charge of two stations. Mr. Thompson has occu- pied the positions of Mayor, Reeve, Councillor and School Trustee, in Park- hill, and has always taken an active part in all matters concerning the wel- fare of that town. His removal, as welt as that of Mrs. Thompson, who has a large circle of friends in Parkhill and 'vicinity, will be regretted. Mr. Thomp- son's successor here will be Mr. Har- vey, of Canfield, Nairn: On Sunday, while Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McCallum were attending divine service in St. Andrews Church, Nairn, sneak thieves broke in to their house between 8 and 4 o'clock p. m., and stole about $70 worth of contents, consisting of two suits of clothes, sillier plated ware, jewelry, brushes, combs, silk pocket hankerchiefs, gloves and other articles, also four jars of preserv- es. The thieves ransacked drawers, sideboard and desk, upsetting every- thing that came in their way. Two suspicious looking characters were seen by the neighbors passing about 3 p. Mr. McCallum arrived home about 5 o'clock and finding that his house had. been entered by thieves he alarmed the neighbors, but night coming on the marauders escaped. Kr. McCallum offers a liberal reward for the apprehen- sion of the robbers aud the racoyery of She stolen property. Clinton: On Friday evening while Mr, Arthur Cook was driving home, with several others in the rig, down near Kippen, the axle of the wagon broke; all were thrown out, but Mr. Cook was the only one hurt, he being injured on the face and otle leg. The other night while Mr. Thos. Fleming' was driving home, his horse ran away and he was thrown out, getting his hand badly bruised. Mrs. B. P. Sibley happened to break a Medic in her hand. the other day, and it needed a doctor's services to get it out. The wife of Mr. W. Cantelon met with a painful acci- dent on Saturday-, by running a nail into her foot; under a doetor's care she is doing nicely. On Wednesday morn- ing, while the son of Mr W. 11. &CS - ley, aged about three veers, was play - leg in the yard, he fell on the head of a nail, whieh pierced his thigh to the depth'of an ineb, making a. nasty flesh wound, 1111EPOS.
