• NOTES AND COMMENTS
---
The latest developments all point
• towards an immediate session of the
Ontario Legislature, and the probabil-
ity that the assembly will be called
directly after New Year's is exceeding-
ly strong. The clerks in the depart-
ments are overwhelmed with a sudden
rush of the work of preparing bills.
The withdrawal of most of the elec-
tion petitions removed the only ',doable
obstacle to the opening of the session.

The Huron Signal says "the petition
againstyr. Mclean in South Huron
has been withdrawn, Every Liberal is
now out of the woods, and the only
crises likely to go on trial are four
Conservatives. The Signal must sure-
ly have drawn upon his imagination, as
the decision of the Conservatives at a
recent meeting, to proceed with the
protest, was published in several of the
dailies on Monday week. The trial
will take place about January 8th.

There have been thirteen cases of
small pox in the Province during the
last two weeks. Two of these have
proved fatal. The town of Strathroy
has been most unfortunate. There
-have 'been seven cases in that town, two
• of which have proved fatal. There ara
three cases of the disease in Logan
township. There is one case in Ral-
• eigh township, near Chatham, and one
-in St. Thomas. There is but one case
in Toronto. As the cases are so wide-
• spread it is feared, despite the efforts of
the Proyineial Health Department, that
the disease may in a short time become
alarming.

Interest in Municipal circles is
centering largly around the Iteeveship
contest., and it seems at present as
if there ',will be a three cornered
fight. The preeent incumbent, Mr.
Wm. Bawden, announces that he is in
the field, while deputy reeve Bissett
and councillor Bobier intend entering
the contest. They are all strong men,
and to predict as to the successful one
• would be useless, the old factions being
• likely to transform into new. For
deputy•reeve Councillor Carling is free-
ly spoken of, and if a black horse does
not come forward, he will likely be
• elected by acclamation. His know-
ledge of municipal matters in general
highly qualifies him for the office.
The withdrawal of Messrs. Carling and
Bobier from the Council will leave a
• vacancy, and an election is among
certainties. Besides the present
• members there are a few names
mentioned, and those more frequently
Spoken of are: Dr. Lutz, A. 3.
Rollins, R. S. Lang, B. S. O'Neil, To
H. Dickson E. S. Howard and Jas.

McCarthy Made the following coal" '
periods of prices of farm produce hi
Onteriet between 1884 and. 1894 :-
1894 1884.
Wheat $ 55 8• 80
Barley, l A A . .A. A A A A A I, ... • 4 38 •53

The ostensible 'object of Mr. Mc-
Carthy was to show that the National
Policy was in some way connected with
this low price of farm produce, either
positive or negative, lt is hardly
possible that Mr. . McCarthy could
think that -any • point., to be
made against the Government by
instituting this comparison. Canadian
farmers know too well that the prices
Of their productions are not fixed by
our. administration, Any gay, the
prices here quoted for 1804 are very
favorable for Ontario as compared -with
the rest:of the world, or at any rate
with prices received by farmers on this
continent. The western farmer only
gets 40 to 45 cents a bushel for his
wheat, audabout 20 cents for his oats,
and his other cereale in like proportion.
In fact, in England wheat has sold as
low as 26 shillings by the quarter, or
something like 78 cents a bushel. So
low prices are not confined to Ontario,
nor the United States, nor England,
but prevail all over. General; prices
for farm produoe fall outside the in.
fluence of any legislative measures.
But the bushel of wheat now, at 55
cents a bushel, buys more than the
same measure at $1 in 1884, and yet,
according to Mr. McCarthy, the farmer
onlf got 80 cents in that year. When
a farmer can get 26 pounds of granulated
sugar for a dollar, and tea at 25 cents a
pound, and boots, shoes, cottons, cloth-
ing, etc., b. like cheapness, the dollar
goes a long way, and the Canadian
farmer gets as much value for his bushel
of wheat in manufactured goods and
the first necessities of life in Ontario as
in any other part of the world.

The Premier Dead
All Canada was shocked on Wednes-
day last by the startling cablegram that
Sir John Thompson was dead. It was
difficult to believe the bare bald
announcement, but it was too true. He
died suddenly at Windsor Castle a few
minutes after he was sworn in as a
member ofelho Queen's Privy Council.
Her Majesty was greatly shocked when
the news was broken to her, and ex-
pressed great sorrow. He was,to have
dined with the Queen on the evening
of Wednesday.
Although the picture of health and
strength, Siralohn was troubled with
fatty degeneration of the heart, and
his death' was no doubt due to heart
disease,
Sir John Thompson was a remarkably
clean public man, and intellectual
giant, a deliberate but eloquent orator,
and a very genial companion. II is rise
in public was rapid, and. death claimed
him when he should haye been only at
his prime, having turned his fiftieth
birthday last month, Ontario and the
west did not know him any too well,
but in Neya'Scotia he Was greatly re-
spected by all patties, and the grief
occasioned byline death will be general
and sincere.

The following from the Canadian

a former Exeterite:-A. prominent name
in the long liet of successful physicians
whom Ontario has given the western
metropolis is that of Henry M. Cowen, As
M., M. D. Dr. Cowen was born in
Exeter, Huron County, and comes of a
line of physicians on both sides of the
house, his father being a practitioner of
repute and four paternal uncles dispensers

indeed for generations batik the family has
never been without its medical member.
Or. Cowen was educated hi the Toronto
Medical School, where he made a very
creditable record, and after graduating

Europe, spending six years in London,

real, made the above statement with a
wenderful degree of thankfulness and
joy, after being:oured of a most dangerous
disease that bad firmly laid hold on her,
and defied the best efforts of physicians.
Suffering from Bright's disease, Mrs
Kelly was taken to the hospital in order to
secure the moat approved treatment known
to the medical faculty. After spending
some time in hospital, Mrs Belly became
worse, and the physicians plainly told her
that she was incurable, and she was dis-
charged- sent home to die.
When impelled almost fled, when the
body was weak and frail., and life
almost extinguished, Mrs Kelly heard the
glad news of Paine's Celery Com pound -
was told what it had done for others who
had been pronounced incurable, and she at
once determined to test it powers.
After using three ettles of the life-

day to day, until a perfect mete was effect-

Mrs Kelly, now as strong as she ever
was in her life, wishes to direct the at-
tention of other sufferers to the medicine
that cured her, She writes as follows: -
"I am of opinion that I than be crinfer-
ring good upon my fellow creatures by
informing them of what Paine's Celery
Compound has done for me in the past.
"Two and a half years ago I had a severe
pain in my left side, which became serious
and alarming. I was informed afterwards
by my doctor that I had Bright's disease,
indeed Ibis was generally acknowledged by
all who know me.
"I was under the doctor's care and taking
medicine for a long time without recelyieg
any relief. Getting worse I was sent to the
Montreal General Hospital, where 1 was
treated be the best doctors. .After re-
maining in the hospital for some time, I
was sent away, as they told me there was
no cure for me.
1. continued doctoring at home for nearly
a year, but grew weaker and trailer. At
this time 1 was urged by my -brother-in-
law to try Paine's Celery Compound. The
first bottle used gave me great relief. I
continued the use of the Compound, and
to -day can truly say that I am perfectly
cured, and feel as strong as ever before in
my life. Paine's Celery Compound saved
my life, and 1 mill always gratefully re-
member the fact."
