In then'os0000 of 100,000 mole and
amid the whom, of the hukestl chorus
assembled in the city, of modern timed,
the World's Columbian Exposition was
formally dedicated an Friday of last
week by the dignitaries of the nation.
The scene preeenbed by the vast gather-
ing in the dedioatdon building was one
never to be forgotten, In many re•
spoobs it was without parallel. Every-
thing wee on the order of the superlative.
The dedication hall, the manufacturers
and liberal arts buildiug, is the largest
Structure ever erected, and in it was
gathered the largest crowd over as-
sembled beneath a single roof. In the
building were probably more distinguish-
ed Americans than wore ever before seen
together on any commemorative on0asion
since the beginning of the Republic. All
those gathered bo do honor to the grant
silent student of 400 years ago, who, in
his way, was the pioueer of them all ;
who led the van of Immunity and manly
daring, and gave to the world a new eon•
tinonb and to posterity an imperishable
reverence for Columbus. This, the name
that was on every Hp, in every ode and
song, that crowned every perorabion, that
found utterance in the opening prayer
and was softly breathed it the closing
benediction. All did homage, and time,
Hutt ripens and mellows the gratitude of
nations, after 400 years gives greatest
homage to his memory and name.

County Poor House,
Ab the June sessions of the Bruoe
County Council of the present year, it
was deoided to obtain an expression of
the opinion of the eleotors on the ques-
tion of $establishing and maintaining a
Horse of Refuge, and that a vote by
ballot should be token for then purpose
at the time of holding the municipal
elections in January next.
The apsoial committee of the commit
appointed to look after the mutter, con-
sisting of J. H. Scott, (chairman), of
Kincardine, A, B. Klien, of Walkerton,
James Bryan, of Intoknow, Robert Long,
of Brant, and Warden Dr. Bradley, met
in the Oonnty Town and decided to, sub-
mit the following statement to the rate-
payers of the County.
The subject has been one of inereaaing
interest, and has been before the council
each session for some years past, The

per cent of the total that, has also ten.

in this County annually for the indigent
seems to be by acting under the statute
which sanotions the establishment of a
Horse of Befnge, and authorizes the
County to control its operation and ex.

fit, Stabiebioe have been obtained dur-
ing the last few years, from every

the result for the years 1885, 1888 and
1887 showed a large increase annually in
the relief expenditure, subsequent years
have proved the earth experience. Fou
the years 1888, 1889 and 1800 from the
returns sent 113, it has beet estimated
that over 411,500 had boon paid out of

250, The average eczema of land in eon-
neetion is 67. The average sum paid for
all salaries is 8075 ranging from 81065 to
$500. This latter is purely a matter of
regulation by bhe County Coanoil, and
for some years, and mita the revenue
from the farm materially increased, it is
probable that the lowest figura would be
eniioient. The average number of int
mates in those institutions has been male

of these per week will average 81.10.
The land in oonneotlon with the house
yield a considerable return. The average
mousy value of the returns of snob lands
in the counties referred to was 81175 an-
nually. The average money value of
the produots of the labor of the inmates
has boeu over 8500 yearly. These
amounts go to reduce bbo expenses of
maintenance.
Regarding the cost of such an iesti-
butlon, the County of Bruce is forbnnely
situated. There are situs available ab
the present time with suitable brick
buildings snflioiently large to commence
with, and well oleared farms in cornea•

farms or lands in connection with the
House are used for its benefit and in
every case yield a respectable revenue.
Sash of the inmates as ars able to work
are compelled to assist in the work nec-
essary to be clone, and to this extent
saves the cost of labor.
The County council greatly desires the
Electors to interest themselves in this
matter which effects the whole County
and to see that a full expression of their
opinion is given at the polls. Separate
ballots on this gnestion will be printed
and placed at the different polling
stations and the same returned, under

from 3,000 to 4,000 Kincardine, from
8,000 to 9,000 ; Aylmer, Port Stanley

A day or so ago J. Oleghorn, the fruit
merchant, of Toronto, was fined $10 for
exposing quail for sale. The game laws
of Ontario prohibit bhe sale or exposure
for sale of quail or partridge for the next
three years, Either bird may be shot,
the law's aim being to prevent quail
shooting being made a business. The
birds exposed were imported from Ohi-
oago and Mr. Cleghoru was unaware Obat
the law was intended to prohibit the sale
of Amoriaan birds. However, the Feline
Magistrate chose to follow the exact
reading of the Ant, whioh stated that no
birds should be exposed, end made no
provision for their importation, The de-
cision has been appealed.

pany. He was to grow the plants and
supply them ou order of defendants'
agent to farmers, who were to cultivate
them and supply the company with to-
maboes for canting. The notion is set
down for trial ab Sandwich, but the
plaintiff thinks he cannot get a fair trial
of the adieu in that county, the fanners
being likely to favor the company which
puroftases their produce. Mr. Winches -
for has made an order refusing to obange
the venue and dismissing the motion.

During the Gest seven months of this
year 23,007 recruits wore ridged, against
10,050 during the same period of 1891.
The return shows that where, on August
1, 1891, thorn was a deficiency in the
seteblishmsnt of bhe2Bribish army of 5,-
496 nou•oommissioued officers and men,
the deficiency on August 1, this year,
was only 2,188. But the gain in the in-
fantry of the line, where the deficiency
is always greeted, is only 337. Tbis is
no improvement at all, for the infantry
of the line is still 2,607 men below its
establishment. Other arms of She service
are greatly in excess of their establish-
ment. This would seem to show that

One of the most thrilling bear fights

order to reach Jack's Mountain. They
were ona chestnut gathering expedition,
and while walking along they heard a
noise in the underbrush by the wayside,
and in another instant a large blaok beat'
emerged from the thialcet and pounced
upon the party. 01 sunk its teeth into
Goodheert's left shoulder and bit him
severely in the left arm. His companions
took to their heels ab first, bub when their
attention was arrested by the unfortun-

and fired at the ferocious animal. The
balls took immediate effect and just in

Tun Two Onruaxs,—The Brussels
Band have engaged the Frost and Fan-
shawe Oo. to play "The Two Orphans,"
for their benefit, at the Town Hall next
Wednesday evening, Nov. and. This
company is one 01 the oldest and strong-
est in the Sta es and are in Canada a
short time daring the Presidental elec-
tion and our oitizene are very fortunate
in securing their servioes. The following
is what the prominent papers of Mont-
real and Quebec have to say of them
"Frost and Fanahawe'a Co. made their
first appearance in Montreal yesterday,
producing the old and popular play, 'The '
Two Orphans.' The play was very well
presented and met with the enthusiastic
commendation of the audience. Mr.
Fanshawe gave a very good impereon-
anion of the principal character, and was
ably aseiated by Miss Herrington and the
other members of the oompany."—Mont-
real Morning Gazette, July 6, '92. The
Quebeo Telegraph of June 24110 says :—
Last night, notwithstanding other at-
traotions, Tara Hall was web filled with
s large and fashionable audience, among
whom we noticed many of Quebec's ebite.
D'Enuery'a famous drama 'The Two
Orphans,' held the boards. Mrs. Her-
rington in the diameter of 'Louise; the
blind orphan, wee very strong. A. L.
Fansbawe in the double role of'Pierrs
Froahard,' the cripple, and 'Chevalier
Maariee De Vaadry,' as usual was realis-
tic, more °specially in the former thereto.
ter when he showed some powerful act-
ing. Miss Aline A. Herrington in the
double role of 'La Froobard' (mother of
Jacques) and the 'Countess De Linniora,
sustained her already earned reputation
as an aobrsss of a high order. The
whole personnell of the company acted
their parte in a faultless manner,"—
The Quebeo Chroniole, Aug. 3rd, says
"Among the many notable features of
Prost and Fauebawe's performances and
one not given special attention to by other
companies, is the musioal entertainment
interspersing the drama at various
periods iu oonjnnobion with the pabhetio
and Immo:Mud passages of the play. Ths
musical numbers are selected with care
to suit the phases of the different scenes,
whioh enhances the modern produotioa
and relieves the monotony of pbrasy
dialogues, 'Editha' leads the list of
numbers with a charming childish ditty
in 'Wont yea cone out to play,' and re.
spends to an encore with a ballast ',Jeer
old Irish home,' and follows with John
Howard Payne's Athlone melody 'Home,
Sweet Homo,' whioh, while sung in every
part of the world, she whistles in a
(harming, pleasant manner, like sweet
voiced feathered songsters of the woods,
the accomplishment she has reason to be
proud oI as ib is possessed by only three
others. Miss Mabel May favors the
guests of Simon Slade's bosblory with a
cheering ballad 'Keep a place at the
table for Jook,' followed by the popular
stagy in poetic form 'My Mary Groan,'
Incidental to the play little Mabel Kitts,
only 8 ysors old, gives the boys some
good advice about their money, and af-
tarwards tells then (bout au old oharaa-
ter who etill wears the seine old hat, ani
then with a lightning °bang° she sings
and dances in a =telly manner,'Vbe
prettiest song of all.' Last but nob least
in this varied musical program of this
versatile oompany is A. G. Herrington,
who informs yon in a humorous manner
about people who hnmdle dangerous
materials in a oaroless manner and the
