The Snow Storm.
Hallway. and 'Telegraphs under the
weather -"lo go by Lane Or Ocean
Bad Walking aud not many people
in our streets.
The storm which has raged for the
past two cr three days is one of the
severest .that has visited this section m
ten years or more. It eves accompan
ied by a vary heavy snow fall, and
business was almost at a standstill.
The roade itt thetcountry districts are
bloekaded verysseriously by the heavy
drifts, and on our side walks the snow
plow has made but little impression,
and the delivery boys and others have
to drag themselves through the clog-
ging whiteness as well as they can.
The north wind Monday night assum-
ed the proportions of a blizzard, and
drove the failing snow with great force
blocking up windows and piling; up
fantastic shapes everywhe,re. The rail
ways are fighting the .paralyzing ef
fects of the storm with desperation.
Telegraph line are down, here and
there sections of roads are blocked, and
train from fat West have lost hours in
fighting their way through. •
Along the line of the London Huron
& Bruce the blizzard has raged with
the g•reatest severity, and the quantity
.of snow that has fallenat the northern
endtol the line is Said to be double in
extent than here. The big snow plow
was sent over a part of the L. H.& Bs,
yesterday,. and had some difficulty in
getting, throtigh. The t WO snow -plows
on this division have been kept ,hard
at work. The noon trains going west
had to lay up at Hyde Park, until the
snow plow could clear the road to Ko-
moka, where trains from the west were
also snow -bound.
The freight traffic is delayed also,
'incl only such 'goods fIS require im-
mediate handling are being touched at
all.
The Express and Freight trains are
all late or not arriving, at all. Mails
have bee.n irregular since Monday
The lull in the storm allowed Mr.
Creech to pet the snow plow through
our streets, and at present high banks
of snow 'such as have not been seen for
years, are very conspicuous on all our
streets'.
A fact which ..even political °cone
mists are apt to forget is that a manii.
facturer's rate of profit is not the only
essential element to success; the aggro
gate profit at tne end of the year is
of far greater importance, and this in
most ceses is greater out of a low rate
of profit than out of a high rate, be
cause of the increased business, which
the lower price gives rise to. It was
on this prieciple that Messrs. Tuckett
& on acted in introdueing tleir now
famous "Myrtle Navy" tobacco, and to
this principle they have ever since ad-
hered. This is one of the rersons why
people of Canada are smoking which
can be produeed at a cheaper price'
than any other potpie can tray a Simi-
lar article,
tete,
1893.
Notwithstanding the heavy made
and severe weather on Sunday laseSt.
Patriek's chnrch was well filled by an
attentive and appreeiative audience,
when the .Incumbent discoursed on
"The true, sphere and ihfluence of Wo
man." The only regret felt was that
the new church sheds, owing to the
stormy weather of the previous week,
were. not it v ai la ble. When completed,
the sheds will prove a great aceommo-
dation re the public. Next Sunday
a sermon will be preaehed on "The
Ediphany," and a special collection
taken up for "Foreign Missions."

men were F. Green, F. Trieubner, and.
W. Sanders. The .diseussion Was
lengthy and very ably handled by both
sides. The decision of the judges was
that the law remain as it is at least for
another year. The question for Wed
nesday,15 testes the comparative evils
of tobacco and opiutrt versus liquor.
The captains are the Sodom twins. As
it is likely to be a very ititeresting sub
ject, and judging from the past, we
may reasonally expect to have a very
instructive and. interestleg meeting.
In addition it is expeeeed there will be,
some dialogues. We hope to see a full

bate is Wednesday of everyother

ance.

Poor .Elouse.
Stephen, January 10th, 1893.
DEAR EDITOR, --I see in the papers
that only one person voted in favor of
a poor house at the nomination seeet-
ing ab Crediton, on Monday, Dec. 26th,
whilst a crowded hall voted against it.
The reasons why this person so voted,
was because 'heehotight that he was
not otily,advocatieg the cause of mo"
relay, trapanity and christieuity, but
financiallra very great saviegt to our
county and township. As it now is,we
have to help the towns and villages
pay for their poor. The poor rate for
Stephen fer 1892 is 8241; in addition to
this we have to pay to the county
nearly $110 to assist other municipalit
ties in paying for their poor. Had we
a Poor House conducted as the one in
Brant melt municipality would be re
sponsible for its own poor, and I have
no doubt but that the saving to the
county by having a Poor House, in 10
years, would be sufficient to pay off the
money invested. '
So far as concerns the large majority
against me 1 might just say that the
majority was against Luther when he
stood alone at Wurms. The majority
was against Noah when for 120 years
he warned the world of corning de
struction The majority was against
Elijah when he stood on Monnt Carmel
confronted by 800 false prophets. The
majority was against Paul when he
proelaimed Christ on Mars Hill and be•
fore Nero, and it was the majority who
said away with Him, away with Hine
crucify Him, crucify Him. In a few
years from now When a Poor House
will heve been established in Huron
and the poor better cared for than now,
and our county and township poor rate
greatly reduced, then it will be ,said
"that fellow who voted in, the Town
Crediten, on 26th Thee 1892, in
favor of a PoorXouse, wee not such a
big foOk:as we thought."
