Ton elections in the United States this week resulted in a weeping Repub. lioan viotery, The Tammany power TO, calved a great shaking up, The Re. publioan party will control the next House. CuxxA is asking the other Powers to 'interfere in calling off Japan so that terms of peace may be arranged. The Japanese army is heading for Pekin and the Ohineee troops are fleeing ahead of them refusing to show fight to the in- vaders. $15,000 was the price set by au Ameri- can Electric Light Oompsny to buy up Toronto Oity Council. The investiga- tion now in progress reveals a bad state of affairs at the Queen city and the here- tofore good name of some aldermen will likely be besmirched, if nothing worse, before the matter ie settled, Tam Wingham Advance Says :-"Tus BRUSSELS Poem last week announced that at the Conservative convention held on Friday, James Perkiue, of Gerrie, was said to be the man who would receive the nomination. This was not even a respec- table guess." If the Advance will deny that Mrs Perkins was waited upon and asked to accept the nomination we will agree with him in bis closing sentence. Our item contained these qualifying words, however, "if he will accept." LONDON bye election will be held on Tuesday, 20th, inet., nomination a week earlier. The candidates are already hard at work, Mr. Hobbs carrying the Liberal banner, and Mayor Essery living inanticipation of stepping into Mr. Meredith's shoes. Londoners al- ways go into election contests with a great deal of enthusiasm, and although it Was supposed to be an impregnable Conservative fortress, late years have proven that it is not so any longer as was instanced by the election of Mr. Hyman over Hon. John Carling. Mr. Hobbs .over not be able to compare with his opponent for bluster but we expect to see him win by a good majority. It will be a short, sharp campaign. Tan PosT thinks the Council did wisely in granting an additional $50 to the cus- tomary anneal sum of $25 to theMechan- ios' Institute when the fact is taken into account that a free reading room will be opened in whioh will be on file toe leading daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, dm. at the disposal of allot any resident of Brussels without cost. Also with the knowledge that the Provincial Govern- ment will return dollar for dollar of in- vestment on these lines so that another year the reading room will be self supper. ting. Outside of tbese considerations it is a public duty developing on the Coun- cil to do all they can to aid in the develop- ment of the literary and moral side of the community and in this they are only in line with the majority of enterprising towns and villages in this and other Counties. IN another column we reproduce the opinions of the Liberal and Ooneervative press on the candidature of E. L. Dickin- son in the East Riding of Huron. As to Mr. Dfokinson'e ability as a lawyer there is no doubt but wbere so many candidates were before the Convention and in a rid. ing reported to be so "safe" for a Con. servative candidate it is a little remark- able that web known gentlemen such as Reeve Mooney, ex.Reeve Bryan, B. Berry, W. Clegg, Jas. Perkins and ethers could not be induced to aooept of a certainty - which would have had Mr. Dickinson's heart approval. When the Y pp GoderioB Star speaks of Dr. 77oDonald'e ability a8 a public speaker in the alighting manner he does, he displays his ignorance as can be easily proven by the estimate Mr. Dickinson has of the East Huron M. P, We dont expect the Conservative press to give many bouquets to Dr. McDonald but they should at least be fair if they cant be generous. 1Lix+towel. The directors have asked the ladies of the town to arrange for a concert in aid of the Meobanice' Instituto. T.

Mr, ,Patch, grails buyer, handed theStandard a branch pia raspberry bush,on wbioh were a number of ripe rasp, berries. They grew in Mrs. Wilson's garden on Wallace street, where, Mr, Petah says quite a number at ripe rasp. berries Wave been gathered during the past month. I l J eB ides, One day last week as Arthur Forbes,. of Seaforth, was delivering apple trees on the 0th eon. of ItfeKillop, he left bill CAM on the road side while he went into a house, Something startled tbe horses and they ran off. They overtook two young men, sone of Los Hoegy, who were driving along tbe road with a horse and cart. The men did not notice the runaway horses until they were almost .upon them, The cart and horse were capsized and the man thrown out, but fortunately no damage was done further than badly damaging the vehiole. Mr. Forbes' team ran for about two melee, when they were captured by Jae. Lacey. The tongue of the wagon was broken and the horses were somewhat out but not seriously injured. A'Pr'ntiiTED SutaaDn.-An old lady nom. ed Alexander made a desperate attempt to eommit suioide last week. She had been staying for some time at the meld - once of James Hays, 6th con„ Moliiliop. On Wednesday night, having retired as usual, unknown to any of the members of the family, she got up and left the house. In the morning, as soon as she was miss- ed, a vigorous search was instituted for her, but was fruitless until Friday after- noon, when George Diokeon and ems others found her in Mr. McMichael's woods, some aousiderable distance from Mr. Hays' place. She was lying under the shelter of the roots of an upturned tree, and her face and person were partly covered by leaves. It was thought at first that she was dead • a closer inspec- tion, however, revealed the fact that she was still living, and it was aleo found that there was a ant clear oorose her throat from which blood was freely ooz- ing. She was taken up and conveyed to Mr. Hays' residence and medical aid pro. cured. It was learned that the wound in the neck was not deep enough to prove fatal, and that she was Buffering mainly from exposure and lose of blood. Every possible attention that kind hearts could suggest has been given her by Mr. Hays' family, and she is recovering as speedily as possible. She is said to be about 80 years of age, and it is supposed she wan• dared awes, and committed the rash not while temporarily insane. She was very lightly dressed when she went away, and as she was out two nights it is a wonder that the exposure did not prove fatal. The knife with which the wound was 10- fiioted was afterwards found where she had been lying. It is a knife that she had carried for some time, and it is now remembered that she was seen sharpen• ing it a day or two before she strayed away. If this is the ease, no doubt she had the taking of her own lite in her mind for some time, The case is'a very sad one and looks as if the old lady will need to be very closely looked after, as her mind being turned in this direotion, there is little doubt but she will try the same thing again should she reoover from this attempt, and an opportunity offers. A. Postmaster's Story. A STRANGE ATTACK AND '1'1111 DIRE RESULTS THAT FOLLOWED. Mr. Robert Sharp, of Starkville, Tolls of 5018 Sutferhrgs-Last the Me of Both Hands and Feel and wits Forced to Give Up Business -The Timely Action of a Friend Pointed the Way to Renew Activity. From the Bewmanvine News. Mr. Robert Sharpe is a well-known resident of Starkville, Durham county, who has been living in Canada for about thirteen years. He is by trade a black- smith, and on coming to this country be located in the township of Haldimand, in the county of 18orthumberland: After working there for a time he purchased a residence and shop at Starkville, where he worked at his trade and established a nice business. Being both courteous and obliging he was well Liked and was appointed postmaster for the place. Ho was in the best of health and with the exception of a slight asthma trouble had no complaint of any kind. In the month of Marsh, 1892, he attended an auction sale in the neighborhood and came home in the evening apparently all right, but during the night was taken with a chill, accompanied by a violent pain whioh gradually grew worse and before morn- ing he went into oonvnlsione and became naconecioue. A doctor was summoned who bled him freely, which seemed to relieve him for a time, and next day he seemed better, and the doctor told him lie would bo all right in a few days. This however, was not verified, and although he could go around ho was fast failing m health and at times would be in an agony of pain. One doctor said he had sciatica, and another told him that it was rheuma- tism of the spine and that he would never be better. He tried many mei.s e cin but all failed to do him any good. At this time he was so weak that leo could only hobble around with the as- sistance of two sticks, and had to give up work. The pain continued day and night and finally he lost the use of both hands and feet and often longed for death to relieve him of his sufferings. About this time Mrs. Sharpe wrote a letter for him to a frieend for whom he had worked when he first came to this country, and this friend sent himacouple of boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, urging him to give them a lair trial. Be- fore the second box was done he felt somewhat better and purchased another supply. To hasten the story, Mr, Sharpe continued the use of the Pink Pills until he bad taken fourteen boxes, by whioh time he had completely recovered and is now as well as ever he was, and has lost all the astluna trouble all well. He is now able to do a hard day's work and ie loud in his praise of Dr, Williams' wonderful Pink Pills. As the reporter was leaving, a Mr. Stark, an intelligent farmer who lives close by, called, and verified all that Mr, Sharpe had said, and referred the reporter to others in the neighborhood who knew the cireunl- et:mace as well, One who had never seen Mr. Sharpe before would not think, looking at him to -day, that he had come through the ordeal he has, as he seems he very picture of health and both he and Mrs. Sharpe attribute the whole cure 0 Pink Pills, TEX BRU.
