Usborne
One of the remaining pioneers of
this township passed away in Clinton
on Thursday, in the person of Mrs. M.
Wiseman, relict of the late David Wise•
man, one of the early sett lera of this
township. For some. time Mrs. Wise-
man has made her home with her son
John, in Clinton. She was a Dative of
the county of. Antrim, .Ireland, and
after a short -residence in Lanark mov-
ed with her husband to the boundary of
Usborne about 40 years ago, where
they settled and passed through all the
incidents common to• pioneer life.
About 18 years ago Mr. Wiseman died,
leaving her with the eare of the farm;
after this was placed in charge of one
of her sons, who still resides on it, she
made her home with her children. For
many years a member of the Presby•
torten church, her life was governed
by the teachings of divine truth She
was a woman of good constitution and
always enjoyed the best of health, her
death being due alone to age; she was
ust vergieg on her 80th year. A
amity of five sons and two daughters
re left to mourn her loss. The fatter -

John Wiseman Saturday morning at 7

Arva, on Saturday, the 18th ihst —Th
severest thunder storm which has visit-
ed this locality for a number of years
took place Friday afternoon, lasting
about two hours, and doing .consider-
able damage in the village and vicin-
ity, playing havoc with telephone poles.
A large fire was discovered in the di
rection of Ailsa Craig, and another on
the Roman Line. The school house
belonging to No. 6 section in the town-
ship was struck, and the chimney and
stovepipes knocked to "smithereens."
Though almost a miracle the pupils es-
caped unhurt, An awning over Mrs.
Smith's grocery store opposite the post
office on Main street was knocked down
and badly damaged. The telephone
instrument in Mr. B. Stanley's residence
was also rendered useless and frames•
torn from pictures hanging on the
walls of the roosts. -Mr. Donald Stew-
art, of McGillivray, bad his barns com-
pletely destroyed by lightning during
the storm. Thirty tons of hay, 3,000
bushels of wheat, were also destroyed.
On the whole it was the severest light-
ning and thunder storm accompanied
with hail, rain and wind, that has visit-
ed this vicinity of late years.—It looks
very much as if we are to he treated to
a home paper in the near future. Mr.
H. J. Benner, our popular village prin-
ter, called on the chief busiaese men of
the place to -day, accompanied by his
son -fn -law, Mr. A. M. Bock, of Port
higin, a. practical printer, to see what
the prospects might be for the estab
lishmeut of a home paper. It is under•
stood thrift Mr. Bock wilt take full
charge of the business during the oleo
tion campaign, and while Mr Benner,
who has . has 3 long experience in journal-
istic work, will no doubt devote to it a
portion of his time, it is hinted that
during the approaching contest he will
be engaged in stumping the riding for
the man of his choice.
The Sutherland Imbroglio
EDITOR EXLTS!ln ADVOCATE.
DEAR Silt:—Whereas an article ap-
peared in the Exeter Times of April
16th under the heading of "Mr. Suther-
land seeks peace" and in which my
name is personally and prominently
mentioned as a disturber of the peace,
a falsifier, an unmannerly person, etc.,
and in which certain phases of the now
famous Sutherland Appeal Case are
stated in a very misleading way and
placed in an entirely false light, there-
fore I wishwith your permission to say
a few wade in defence of the truth and
of my own good name. The article is
signed by Mr. G. J. Sutherland and is
the same epistle that was rejected by
Mr. Neelaud of the Hensall Observer,
although it now appears in a slightly
modified form. Although it purports
to be a reply to my article of April 2nd,
which appeared in the local paper and
was signed "Ono who was there," yet
as such it is evidently a dismal failure,
but as an embodiment of cheek, egotism,
satanic perversion of truth, childish-
ness and poor English—it is a topical
triumph G. J. Sutherland commences
his epistle by quoting the report given
by the Observer, re the meeting of the
Presbytery of Huron and which he has
the audacity to say, "was quite impar-
tial and in the interests of peace." The
Presbytery of Huron —a judicial delih
erative body—meets to try ae,d decide
a couple of appeals from the action of
Carmel Church session in removing
certain names from the roll; what in
all fairness I ask had the public and
the congregation the most right to
know? Had they not the right to know
whether the appeals were sustained or
dismissed? Surely. And yet G. J.
Sutherland has the audacity to call
such a report—and which was garbled
not as his own suggestion but at tha t
of his father, Mr James Sutherland,post-
master—"a fair and impartial one."
I+or fear that any misunderstanding
should arise in the minds of your read
ere, regarding the personality and idea ,
thy of these two individuals it might
be well at the outset to explain that G.
J. Sutherland sometimes stands dor
himself and sometimes for James Suth-
erland, and vice versa. The twain are
one flesh and are so mixed Up in the
imbroglio that it is difficult to tell
"tether from which " As G. J. Suther-
land seems to ground all, or nearly all;
his personal charges against me upou
an explanation made by me in the Ob-
server of March 19th, it wilt be best to
quote it in full. The offensive article
reads as follows:—"We take the respon-
sibility of saying that unfortunately
an important omission occurred in the
report published in the Observer last
week of the regular meeting of the
Presbytery of Huron which was held
in the Carmel Presbyterian Church, on
Tuesday 10th inst. The report failed
to state that the principal business done
at the afternoon sederttut was the hear-
lee''
ear:lug of the appealvof James Sutherland
in behalf of Mrs. Sutherland, his wife,
and G. 3. Sutherland, hisson, against
the action of the session of Carmel
Church in removing these names from
the roll for non-attendance at commun-
ion. The action of, the church session
in removing the names was unanimous
ly sustained by the Presbytery. After-
wards a committee was appointed to
confer with the appellants and members
of session with e view to an amicable
settlement and reconeilation • between
the parties and which was Subsequent-
ly effected and their report submitted to
a life-long, staunch Conservative; the Presbytery at the evening sederunt.

An impartial reading of the above wit

makes against me in his letter. is
It will give the lie to his statemon
charging me with being a disturber o
the peace and a stirrer up of strife a
there is nothing in the above to justif
such a statement. There is such
thing as purchasing peace too dearly, t
wit at the expense of truth and justice
G. J. Sutherland labors to leave the int
pression upon the public mind that the
Presbytery gave no decision in the case,
but simply through the appointment
of a committee an amicable settlement
was arrived at and also that the said
settlement was entirely in favor of the
appellants. Nothing could he further
from the truth as any one may see who
examines the minutes of Presbytery.
At the afternoon sederunt the Presby
tory tried the case on its merits and
sustained the action of the session by
dismissing the appeals._The settlement
was effected afterwttrds'by the appoint-
ment of a committee. This last was an
irregular and'fnformal proceeding and
nohthe action of the Presbytery as a
deliberative body. 2nd, It will give
the lie to his statement that "I became
guilty of untruth in the very fact of
withholding truth when he ostensibly
proceeded to give all the facts." My
article did not proport to be a report,
but was only an explanation supply-
ing an omission from a report suggest
ed and arranged by Mr. James Sather
land and which placed this case in a
false light. G. J. Sutherland says that
I, as an outsider, had no right to inter-
fere in the matter, but I wish to say
that I am a member of Carmel Presby
terian Church and have a right to con-
cern myself with whatever pertains to
her interests. If the Messrs. Sutherland
had had common sense enough to leave
he Editor of the Observer to make out
Ms own report it would have been more
impartial and in the interests of peace."
f they had even suggested that no re-
port:be given, nothing would have been
aid by outsiders, but the Sutherlauds
ad no right to suggest such a partial
nd misleading report even although
one professedly "in the interests of
ease." 3rd, It will give the lie to his
nsinuation that "the Editor assumed
uthorship for Daniel Stewart" and
hich he uses to justify himself in hay.
ug his article "between two fires"
rinted in editorial form. The esplana-
ion above quoted was inserted along
ith other news items' under a local
ending which I have been using for
erne months to head my correspond-
nce. Does G. J. Sutherland pretend
o say that the Editor of the Huron Ex-
ositor assumes authorship for the gos-
irewhieb he contributes weekly to that
apes? G. J. Sutherland speaks of me
s the "giant defender of the session,"
ut I can assure him that the session
f Cannel Church needs no defender,
ud no one knows this better than the
cssrs. Sutherland. G. J. Sutherland
