FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1899, EVE= some of the dear old gentlemen who warm seats in the Senate Chamber are oominground to the that there is urgent need of a remodelling of this ' staid body, and some of the members at least approve of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's proposal to improve it. One of the best ways to do this would be to wipe it out altogether. Tam writ for a new election in North Waterloo to dil the vaoanoy in the Legis. lature caused by the unseating of Dr. Lackner bee been issued. The date of polling is the 23rd inst., and nomination was held on Wednesday. A registration of manhood sufferage voters has taken plane at Berlin. The Reform candidate is Mr. Brienthampt, and the Conservative candidate, Dr. Lackner. Both are resi- dents of Berlin. Ona Most Gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria, will celebrate her 80th birthday on Wednesday of next week and mil. lions of her loyal subjects girdling this old world will swell the mighty chorus of loyalty, "God save our graoioue Queen, Long may Victoria reign." No nation was ever better rated and no sovereign ever exerted the inilnenoc on thio broad planet that Britain's Queen wields today. One of the best ways to inorease the lustre of the British nation is for every subject to make an earnest effort topresent an unblemished character to the world. May good old Queen Vie, be spared for a good many years yet. Tun usefulness of the Farmers' Insti- tute is likely to be extended by a broad- ening of the lines laid down by the On- tario Government, whereby branches will be established for ladies. There are numerous questions that crop up of great interest t0 the gentler sex that world af- ford an excellent range for an interesting program, such as the making of butter, marketing, packing, Lac. ; the vegetable garden ; the flower bed ; dower culture in the home, and many other topics that the ladies could discuss with profit. For various reasons the Farmers' Institutes, except the evening meetings, are looked upon ae for men only, and the proposal to give the farmers' wives and daughters a similar chance should meet with favor both in and out of the Local Legislature. We notice in a press dispatch that two young seamen who attempted to desert from a British man of war at Halifax, were birched until their backs were badly scored and bleeding in many places. If the report is true, we don't hesitate to state that it is a most unmanly way of punishing offenders and not calculated to instil courage or loyalty into any British soldier. That style may do very well in the committal of some heinous crime, but is most degrading in its ten. deny, and to oarry it to the extreme sometimes reported is as brutal as it is humiliating. The cab•and-nine•tails should be relegated to the days of the thumb screw and rack. Let a gleam of the 206h century civilization shine into some of these old and barbarous things that will promote a healthy moral ten- denoy and thereby elevate the dignity of manhood. Wrra a generosity (7) born of a big Irish heart Bro. D. MaGillionddy, of the Goderioh Signal, gives place to the fol. lowing in Iaet week's issue :—"There have been many suggestions regarding the redistributing of Huron county, and amongst them it has been suggested that the Legislative boundaries for the three ridings should be adopted, but The Signal , is of opinion that the adoption of the old North, Centre and South ridings, with some slight amendments, would be in the right direction. The proposed North Riding would comprise the townships of Ashfield, East and West Wawanosb, Morrie, Turnberry and Howiok, with Wingbam, Brussels, Wroxeter and Blyth, making an approximate population of 21,000. Centre Huron would embrace the townships of Colborne, Hullet, Gode. riob, Grey and MoHillop, and the towns of Goderich and Huron, with a papule - tion of 20,000, South Huron would then contain the townships of Tuckersmith, Stanley, Hay, Usborne and Stephen, with the town of Seaforth and the vii. lages of Exeter, Hensall and Bayfield, with an aggregate population of 20,250. The division here outlined would have the merit of maintaining intact the county boundaries is accordance with the Reform contention, and the Tory objection to dividing Goderiab Townebip and Millet would be removed. The population would be fairly represented in each conetituencsy, and the ridings would be compact and easily aocessible at election times. GI•orrie.

Mr. O'Sulli- van passed away at bis residence on the 3rd oonoession of MoKillop on Sunday, 7th inst., having reached the good age of 75 years, Mr. O'Sullivan was a native Limerick, Irsiand, and came to Canada with bis parents and other membore of his family in 1841, he then being only eight years of age. His father settled on the Huron Road, McKillop, on the farm now occapiedlby Peter O'Sullivan. For many years in bis early life he was a school teaober, and for several years clerk for three townships, and when MoKillop was organized as a separate municipality he was appoiutedits first clerk, a position which he continued to fill until a few years ago, when he was succeeded by the preeent olerk. He was a painstaking and competent offioial and was well versed in municipal law. He was a great reader and was possessed of more than ordinary intelligence and shrewdness and was quite a controversialist. He dearly loved an argument on any question and could generally hold bis own with those with whom he came in contaot. He was pos- sessed of the warm hearted, generous die. poeition of his countrymen, and bad many friends and few enemies. Ida was a Conservative in politics, although not a rigid one and prided himself in his inde- peadence of thought on all subjects. He was a consistent and devoted adherent of the Roman Catholic faith, and in every respect aimed to live an honorable, oou- aietent and useful life. For many years be had been engaged in farming, and of late years bis failing health prevented his taking any active part in public affairs. He leaves a widow and family of tour sons and three daughters. A brother and three sisters also survive him, viz t Peter, on the old bomesbead ; Mrs. Thos. Downey and Mrs, Winters, Sbioago, and Mrs, Nash, Montano, The funeral took plasm on Tuesday and was very largely attended. Diiuton.

He bad scarcely left the buggy, however, wbea the horse in rubbing his head against the poet got the bridle fastened in a piece of stick that had been shoved through the bole in the tie poet, and be- coming frightened tore the bridle off his bead and dashed down the road with Mrs. Elliott sitting in the buggy. For- tunately the top ot the buggy was thrown back at the time, and after the horse had run a couple of hundred yards Mrs. Elliott succeeded in getting out over the back part of the buggy and lettiog her- self down to the road, but in doing so she fell upon the road and miraculously es- caped from ber perilous position, with nothing worse than a rough shaking op, and bar hoe slightly scratched by the coarse gravel. The frightened horse, however, ran nearly four miles further before it was captured, and although the horse is not hurt, the buggy will need considerable repairs.
