years aucl then stepped up to the chair of
101 Deputy•Reeve, which office he 000u -
pied until ho wee chosen County Coun-
cillor nodes the new Act. With the ox.

On the removal of Wm. Bishop to Beech.
villa, Mr. Hislop took his place as Secrs-
tary of East Huron Farmers' Institute,
which position he filled for 7 years. Last
year Mr. Hislop was Chairman of the
Hunse of Refuge Committee, in co11nec•
tion with the Go. Connell. He is a mem •
bey of the Presbyterian church, being on
the Board of Malingers of Melville
church, Brussels. Mr. Hislop is a good
public speaker and well versed in the
political questions of the day. Although
30 years have passed over his head, Mr.
H. is still a bachelor, but it is hinted that
if successful on March 1st he will peal •
ably bring to Lie comfortable homo, on

HENRY DIOONEY,
CONSEIWA'IIrni CANDIDATE.
Mr. Mooney is of Irish parentage and
was born in the Co. of Leeds on March
17211, 1811, Ho in the 2nd 0011 of the late
Win. Mooney. When 10 years of ago
Mr. Mooney's father moved to the 6111
lino of Morris, whore he took up 400 acres
of land, and for the past 42 years Henry
has lived in the same locality, lot 26
being the portion allotted to him. Thirty
years ago ho joined hand and heart with
Miss Alice Sheridan and eight children
aro on the family register, the oldest son
living at Indian Head, IN. W. T. Mr.
Mooney has had considerable experience
in municipal work, serving 10 years as
township Tax Collector ; 10 years as
Cou110illor and 9 years as Reeve. A
peculiar thing in connection with these
years of service is that all his elections
went by acclamation. In December,
1806, he was chosen, along with Mr.
Hislop, to represent this Co. Council
District, and more recently accepted the
nomination of East Huron Conservatives.
For about 35 years Mr. Mooney has been
connected with Brussels Methodist
011110011 and is now a member of the Ofd•
oial Board. With a little more experi-
ence on the platform, he will blossom out
into quite a pnblio speaker. Mr. Mooney
has mado a success of farming and has a
No. 1 100 acres in commotion with his
home. He is a well preserved man and
would pass for considerably younger than
