ANOEae, the Liberal candidate in the Charlevoix, Quebec, election, was eleoted on Monday by 150 over Mr. Cimon, Conservative. These bye -elect- ions don'taopear to add much strength to Sir MoKensie Bowell. Tris POST has much pleasure this week in congratulating Reece Strachan, the worthy Reeve of Grey, on his eleceion to the Wordenthip of Huron County. This is the first time Grey was so honored, Warden Strachan will do honor to the position. Emmen will be pleased to observe the upward tendency of wheat and the an- ticipated improvement in the pork and live hog market. The rise can't come any too soon as the country has been waiting for a good while to see something "turn up." Ix the Provincial bye elections held last Friday in South Wentworth and West Wellington IbIr. Diokensou, Liberal, was returned in the former by over 800, and Mr. Tucker, Patron, in the latter by 200. The wentworth seat was opened by he resignation of Mr. Awrey who is like. ly to be appointed Registrar of that County. In Wellington the necessity for the election was the unseating and dia. qualification of Mr. Tucker, a brother to • the gentleman now elected. Parliament will convene on Feb. 11th. "Gen Save our Gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen," are words very familiar to eveiy British subject, but we often lose sight of the fact that if the Queen lives through this year—and we all hope that she may live for many a day yet—hers will become the longest reign of any sovereign who has ever sat on the British throne. Hitherto the longest reign has been made by Geo. 8rd, who ascended the throne on Oct. 25th, 1760, and reigned until Jan. 29th, 1820, though for nearly 10 years of that time he only reigned in name, as he was a mental and physical wreck, and the mum try was under a regency. He thus reign- ed 59 years And 96 days. Queen Vic- toria began to reign on June 205h, 1837. In her case 59 years and 98 days will expire on Sept. 24th, 1896. Queen Vic- toria will be 77 years old if she celebrates her next birthday. While war has been loudly talked of and the British Empire and our good Queen assailed we feel sure the loyal subjects will hearily endorse this verse from the National hymn :— "Thy choicest gifte in store On her be pleased to pour, Long may she reign ; My she defend our laws, And evergive us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen." P1'Li;SBYl'Gli1,1L OF W. F. M. S. The Huron Presbyterial of the Wo. man's Foreign Missionary Society met in the Presbyterian church, Seaforth. The different societies were well repro. sensed ; the reports from each auxiliary were full of interest, many ofthem full of encouragement and hopes'of better work for another year. During the year 81134 was raised by the S ,ciety, $242 89 by Mission Bands, and clothing sent to the Northwest valued at 4509, making the total of about $1900.

Mrs. Fletcher theu gave her annual re. port ; she spoke first of disatinointments and ohanaes among the auxiliaries, and many snoouragements that God had been pleased to give them. She then spoke of the true sacrifice of giving our lives to Christ, filled with God and emptied of self, Master Reggie Wilson, one of the members of the little Miesioa Band, Sea.. forth, gave a recitation.

Between the two it is difficult to decide what to do. Our request now is that all those whom we have so far favored, make an effort to pay us up in full within the next 10 days. We want money, and we want it a great deal and very quickly. GENTLEMEN, PLEASE PAY UP. POLITICAL.
