On Thursday Mr. Z. Lockhart, town -

Queen's hotel stables when the team
moved forward and drew the load sev-
eral feet into the stable, sweeping Mr.
Lockhart off the load on the frozen
ground upon which he fell with con-
siderable violence, but happily escaped
without greater injury than a severe•
lv bruised hip. - Mr. Lockhart had one
of his legs broken a codple of years
since, the fracture hes never complete-
ly united and he was laid up in conse-
quence for a couple of weeks this win-
ter, so that he dared not jump from the
top of the load in order to save the fall,

ing near him, when a strange Maltese
cat came up ..and commenced to purr
and to rub its body against the child,
Iola stooped to place her hand s on the
cat when the brute turned round and
planted both front claws in the child's
face, cutting the eye -brow on one side
so severely as to necessitate the Stitch-
ing of the wound, and sinking its talons
deeply into the little girl's face immed
lately below her other eye. Although
the wounds bled profusely no bad re-
sults are anticipated—and the cat is
dead.

Liberal -Conservative Convention.
On Tuesday afternoon last the Liber-
al Conservative Convention, to select a
candidate for South Huron, assembled
at Hensall, at 1.30 o'clock. About 175
delegates were present, representing
every polling sub -division in the riding.
A more representative or enthusiastic
political convention never met in On-
tario. Only one sentiment animated
the whole meeting—put the best man
in the field and the fight is won. Sev
enty-five of those present, who were
not at the annual meeting at Zurich,
enrolled themselves as members of the
Association.
Is was eventually moved, seconded
and carried that the Convention nom-
inate a candidate to contest South
Huron at the next provincial elections.
Dr,. Rollins moved,' "seconded by D.
Weismiller, that Henry Eilber, of Cred
iton, be the candidate. This motion
was received with universal approval.
Afterward J. Torrance, D. Weismiller,
Dr. Rollins, B B. Gunn, Mr. Holmstead,
L. H. Dickson, Thos E. Hays, John A,
Williams, J. Beacom and Dr. Bethume
were nominated, seconded and in re.
verse order all made rousing speeches
•and retired in favor of Mr. Eilber. Mr
H. Eilber after deliberation accepted
the nomination which was made unan-
imous by a standing vote and amidst
the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Eilber
spoke and after hearty cheers for the
candidate the meeting broke up. Ar-
rangements were made for efficient or
ganization.
The general feeling is that ;Mr. Eil-
ber can carry the riding easily against
any comer. The enthusiasm of the meet-
ing ensures his success.
Never in South Huron was there
such a meeting, or a choice so unani-
mous, or an acceptance so satisfactory.
No better sample of representative men
ever met in South Huron.

passed peacefully away at the residence
of Mrs. Yoe, Egmondvilie, on Saturday,

kind and loving attention and the best
medical skill, he would recover, but the
strain was too severe for a man of his
advanced years. His family consisted
of two sons and five daughters whom
he leaves behind to mourn the loss of a
true and affectionate father.

of Markham, where she remained until
the year 1857 when she moved to the
township of Fullerton, where she re-
sided up to the time of her death. Mr.
Jackson buried his wife only a few
weeks ago, and now his mother has
passed away, and we are sure that he
has the sympathy of the whole com-
munity.
