It is expected that the Dominion Government will issue the writ for the bye -election in South Huron at an early date. The election is made nec- essary because of the death of the hate 8.0.0tint. Conservative. The Liberals some months ago chose M. Y. McLean as their standard-bearer. Mr. Gunn would undoubtedly have been his op- ponent. Now it becomes necessary for the Conservatives to choose a can- didate, unless it is agreed to let the riding go unrepresented until the gen- eral election. The Exeter Times says : "The suggestion has been made by not a few that the Conservatives would do well not to oppose Mr. McLean in a bye -election." By what kind of yeas• oning or on what authority the state - inept is made we do not know, unless it emanated from one or other of the members of the Liberal joint stock company. that now controls The Times. 1Vby should the Conserva- tives on the death of their member allow a Reform candidate to be elected by acclamation ? Would it not be a little more reasonable for the Liberals t 'to t to allow a Conservative e elected by '►ccla !nation to succeed a Conserva- tive? Because the Liberal was chosen drat. the Times reasonsthat he should be elected by acclamation to avoid an election. That reasoning would un- doubtedly satisfy them, but wonld hardly be acceptable to the general public. NOTIs' AND COMMENTS The Liberals were electe•c! in Ottawa and Centre Volk on Monday for the House of Commons—the former by a largely increased majority. the latter by .t decreased majority—from 124 to l0. Osesip is beginning to got busy with the names of several who are possible candidates for the municipal council of Exeter for ties next year. It is pretty certain that Reeve holier and the present councillors will be in the field again, although they have not definitely said so. \Vnr. Bawden and W. 1i. (,vett, it is said, would not object to taking the reeve's choir. New aspirants to the seats of thec,,un• clllors are scarce, although a few good names have been casually mentioned. It looks like a re-election by evident- ation in 1'sborne Township this year. After many enquiries we learn of no new aspirants, nor do we herr of others desiring friends to run.

Butt acted as chairman, and more than fifty select- ions formed the program, all the children doing credit to themselves, and some parts of the program being exceptionally fine. The trustee's and others made speeches expressing re- gret in some respects at the division of the section, but a good feeling was displayed and all hoped that as neigh - hors and friends they would continue to live in peace and on good terms with one another. The most interest- ing incident in the proceedings was the {presentation of a beautiful silver pickle stand to Miss Sparks, the junior teacher, and a letter portfolio to Miss Bottrill, the senior teacher. These presents were the gifts of the children frons their respective rooms. In con- sequence of the division of the section only one teacher will be required in the future, and Miss Brittrill has been re-engaged.
