The following from the Toronto
News speaks for itself .regarcling an
item which. appeared in the News
some weeks since; and which article
the Expositor takes as the basis of a
long editorial in its last issue; both
the article and the editorial were
founded on "wind." :—There appear-
ed in The News a few days ago a state-
ment thee a deputatation had waited
upon Mr. .T, P. Whitney and urged
that Sir W: R. Meredith a,nd Mr, Joint
Ross Robertson be included in his
ministry-, 'should be form one. The
inform tion mune from a, source hither-
to deemed credible, and was printed
in the fall confidence of it being ac-
enrate, The News is now satisfied that
the whole statement was absolutely
without foundation, and bi justice to
all the gentlemen whose names were
thus unwarrantably employed, it vol-
untarily gives place to this contradic-
tion."
* *
The official returns of the last Fed-
• eral election Pilo* that in Ontario 217,-
829 votes were cast for, Conservatives.
and 213,388 for Liberals; with an Inde-
pendent vote of 2,603, a .Conservative
amajority of 4,411. This gives the Con-
servatives a good majority of Ontario
representatives in the Hoose of Com -
Mena and indicates, so far as figures
can, that the redistribution was fair.
Assuming that thie arrangement of
constituencies for the Legislature is
also fair, it is difficult to see on what
the Ross Government bases its hopes
of obtaining a working majority from
• such an electorate. Of course, the is-
sues are not the same, but the Laurier
Government went to the country met
der exceptionally favorable cireum-
stances, while the Ross 'Government
]has been for two Years trying in vain
to obtain a working miuority in the
Legislature that has just been dissol-
wed.—Toronto News. .

AS AN ENGLISH WRITER SEES US.
We are indebted to Mr. Harry Hems,
of Exeter, England, for a copy of the
Flying Post, a paper published in our
marnesake city—Exeter. It is a bright
sevenlun
compaper of eight pages.
The typographical appearance is clean
and neat, the advertising patronage
large, but of an antique make up, the
"ads" being set in all old-style type
and of a urligne composition cornpa,red
with the modern typography of the
American style. Altogether the Fly-
ing Post is a most comprehensive re-
presentative of the city in which it is
published and apparently well deserves
the brilliant success it appears to enjoy.
The Flying Post commenting upon the
Advocate has this to say:—"Among
may literary collections this week are
copies of the "Exeter Advocate," pub-
lished at Exeter Ontario, for October
27th and Novemiber 10th. It is a clean-
ly sheet of eight pages not quite so
large as the "Flying Post," and is now
in its eighteenth year—quite an infant
eompared with the 141; years of tbe
ancient publication for which I have
been scribbling now just so m ny
twelvemonths as the "Advocate" has
been serving the tauten.° of the Ontario
Exeter. As is the case with most of
the local journals in the New World,
the least important doings of anyone
in the neighborhood are recorded with
faithful minuteness. Among the vil-
lages where the "Advocate" circulates
there is a Orediton, a Clinton, and a
Greenway. Under the Clinton head-
ing is recorded the death of a Mrs.
101endenning at the age of 103, after an
illness lasting only forir days. Scatter-
ed among the pages one comes across
such good Devonshire namesas Gidiey,
Cobbledick, Weekes, johns, Chapman,
Sanders, Sweet, and Creech.
In the "Advocate" for October 27th
is a, paragraph relatiageto.stetse death
of Air, James Pickard, who was, I be-
lieve, born nearNorthtawton, and was
always most hospitable to any Devon-
ian visitors who happened to be at the.
Ontario Exeter. • In the neighborhood
he was known as "Boss" Piekard, arid
was much of the same stamp as the
fete Mr. W. E. Bale, of Natal, brother
of the late Councillor Bale. I believe
both left England about the same
titue. Me. Pickard died at age of 88,
and thie. paper says of hien:— " * *

way to Exeter, Ontaro 1 hope the
eesidents will except an expression of

The following resolution was unani-
inonsly passed at to -day's meeting of
the Waterloo Connty Council: "That
this Couucil strongly endorse the es-
tablishing of o farmer's telephone
system in Waterloo County; that such
a system should be a great benedt to
both farmer and merchant, and we
would suggest that, no exclusive fran-
chises shoul& be given to telephone
companies by municipalities in this
county, whereby the famer's tele-
phone system could be shat out from
obtaining connection with anyinunici-
Panty, and that we again memoralize
the 'Governiberit that until the tele-
phone systems are taken over com-
pulsory service should be given over
any long-distance lines at rates ap-
proved by the Governor in Council,
not exceeding the ordinary rates
charged by the telephone company
owning the line."

WEDDED.—One of those pleasant
events took place on Wednesday of
last week at the residence of Mr. J.
V. Allinson, when his eldest daughter,
Ada Mand, was united in happy wed-
lock to Mr. John Wright, a promising.
young man of this place. The bride
entered the parlor leaning on the arm
of her father and took her place beside
the groom, under a beautiful arch of
evergreens and roses. She wore a
dress of silk crepe de chene, trimmed
with white chiffon, and carried .a bou-
quet of white carnations and chrysan-
themums The ceremoily was per-
formed by Rev. W. Millson, uncle of
the bride. After congratulations were
extended all repaired to the dining
room where a very; elaborate and sum-
ptuous wedding dinner was partaken
of. The remainder of the evening WAS
pleasantly spent socially. The string
band of Whalen rendered several fine
selections. The bride is one of our
fairest young ladies, and the esteem in
which the young couple are held was
clearly shown by the many beautiful
presents received. Guests were pres-
ent from many parts of the surround-
ing country and from Michigan. Your
correspondent joins a host of friends
in wishing the happy couple a long
and prosperous journey through life.

love and appreciation for their teach-
er. Miss Hamilton was taken so un-

that such a thing was going to be ten-
dered her, that she was overcome, and
it was wieh a great deal of effort Halt
she WAS able to thank them for their
kindness.

doctors as little better than rogues. One day my boss asked me'
why X was off work so much and I told him my cOndition. He
