CONVENTION of the Reformers of the Last Riding of Hurou will bo held in the Town Hall, Brussels, on Monday, Sept. 23rd, commencing at 2 o'clock. It is ex- pected that at this meeting a oandidate will bo chosen as standard bearer in the coming election for the Local Legislature for this Biding. A large attendance of delegates is expected from all the muni- cipalities. In all probability one of the members of the Cabinet will be on hand, along with local speakers, to adclress the gathering. Hex. G. W. Ross, Minister of Educa- tion, will be present at the East Huron Reform Convention on Monday, Sept, 23rd. We have pleasure in making the above announcement. Tn1 election trial is over in Haldinrand County and Mr. Colter is out of his seat for bribery by agents, unknown to him. A new election will now be in order and the probabilities are that the standard bearers will be Colter and Montague once more. DANIEL McLs,ur, member for Dennis, was sworn hi as Provincial Secretary Tuesday, in the Manitoba Legislature. Mr. McLean is an old-tiiite Reformer from the county of Elgin, Ont. It is stated that he will also be Minister of Education when that portfolio is created next session. Tme Toronto News says: -The Mani- toba Government has given the first in- timation that it manna business in re. Lard to the assertion that it intended to do away with the dual language in that province. The last issue of the Official Gazette is printed entirely in English. Whatever men's political views may be they must, if they be loyal to the land in which they live, unite in support of the course which the Minitel/an Gov- ernment has taken. The French in that province form but a small part of the population, and to keep up the dual language in official papers in the Legis. lature and in the courts merely for thein benefit is a misuse of funds which the Legislature would wisely put a stop to. English is the recognized official lenge• age of the country, and English it should be from one end of the continent to the other. In Quebec the large majority of the people speak the French tongue, and, unless of their own free will, English will never be substituted for it, but in Manitoba and the other provinces where the English are in the majority and the French comparatively few in numbers, anomalies such as the dual language in public life or the schools should not be encouraged. The Manitoba Govern- ment has taken a step in the right di• rection and is deserving of credit there. for. I•r occurs to us that the real pleasure of athletic games and sports is rapidly vanishing and what is known as the "fake" or hippidrome is rapidly taking its place. Betting has taken the front seat and the result is that suspicion is cast on almost all contests. Some mon foolishly fritter money away in making ridiculous bete that should be applied in liquidating their debts or providing necessaries. The following olipping from the Toronto News of last Tuesday rather hits the nail on the head :- Rev. L'. Nohiverca, the oraugelist, will conduct services in Stratford next monist. Bev. 1V. H. Battcr.hy, 111, A., has ar• rived from England to take the curacy of St. :fame' Church, Stratford.

Clarke, has sold out his business in Lis. towel to J. S. Bowman and purposes travelling for a wholesale house. A Rugby football club has been formed in Stratford with the following officers: President, W. S. Watson; captain, S. Johnson ; mascot, W. Baker ; sec.•treae., John 13. \Vaagh ; managing committee, E. Tiffin, S. Johnson and J.B. Waugh. The Mitchell Recorder offers (hie kind and timely suggestion :-The Woodstock, Stratford and other town papers are showing up the so-called "Indy" baseball team of Chicago, which is now malting a tour of Ontario. As wo notice quite a number of betels advertising for cooks and servant girls, these baeoballers ought to have their attention drawn to the advertisements. Huron County. Thos. Rae, of Wroxeter, has purchas- ed the bankrupt stook of R. F. Howson, of Fordwich. The Howick Agricultural Sooioty will hold their animal fall show in Corrie on Satmdcy, Oat. 51b. Jno.

Mountcastle, of Clinton, of unanimously electing her as a member of the Soolety. Wm. Atoheson, of the 4th con., Mo. Kiliop, has gone extensively into the keeping of bees. He has at present about 60 hives, from which he has ob. tained over a thousand lbs. of honey. Through the influence of W. W. Clary, the .'European ageut of W. Doherty ce Co., Organ Manufacturers, Clinton, an agency for the sale of these world•renowned in- struments has been established at Paris, France. Jno. Beesley, of Moosejaw, N.W.T., formerly of Clinton, has just finished cutting his grain, which he expects will yield at the very least 20 bushels to the acre, thus giving him about 2000 bushels of wheat. At the last meeting of the Seaforth Foot Ball Club the following officers were elected :-W. 0. Reid, Hon., Presi- dent; J. 0. Aird, 1st Hon. Vice -Presi- dent ; H. Thompson, Sod Hon. 1710e - President ; R. Logan, President ; S. D. Dickson, Vioe-President ; G. A. Dewar, Captain ; W. McDonald, Sec.-Treas. ; Committee, T. Stephens, G. Ewing, W. Willis, D. McDonald, J. Kiloran. The fourteenth annual games of the Luckuow Caledonian Society were held there on Wednesday in the beautiful park belonging to the Society and were a saco0ss in every particular. The weather was all that could be desired, and although the number of spectators was not so large as on some former oe- oaeions, fully five thousand peoplowere present. There was n big array of lead- ing athletes, pipers and dancers present, but the great attractions cf the day were the splendid exhibition of fancy drill by the sixteen uniformed Caledonian cadets, ander command of Capt. George E. Kerr, the magnificeet selections ren- dered by the band of the Berlin Musioal Society, the great clan contest between the McDonalds and MoKenzies and the famous tug-of-war pull between the champion Zorra team and eight men sel- ected from the Counties of Huron and Bruce, which was won by the former men in two straight pulls. This was the greatest struggle ever witnessed in Luck - now, and so intense was the excitement among the epeotators that it was with the greatest difficulty the crowd was re- strained from taking hold of therope and helping their favorite sides. The whole program was fully carried oat and ,noth- ing occurred during the day to mar in the least the pleasure of the vast audience. The village was gaily decorated with fiags, bunting, eto. Four magnificent evergreen arches were erected along the main street, while many of the hotels and other buildings were also nicely decorated, whioh gave the place a very fine appearance. "The men who planed their money 011 O'Connor in Monday's race and lost it will now be prepared to admit that bet- ting is a very reprehensible practice. If they had been on the other side of the betting, and had the proceeds of chance in their pockets, they would take a diff. erent view. Yet it is a poor way to make money, and to pursue it ae a means of livelihood is to truly court the ups and downs of life. A man to be successful at it needs to have all his wits, and very sharp once, about him, and even then he is at the best a victim of oiroumstanoes, or what he galls luck. At present the Canadian betters are very much down at the heel, so far as thole wooing of fortune is concerned, and it ie the more remarkable when it is consider- ed how acute or knowing they think themselves to be. They rushers to the attpport of O'Connor without rhyme or reason, solely because their sympathies rather than their sense carried them in that direction. They overlooked the foot that the opponent of their favorite bad made the beat time that had ever been made on hie native river, the Pare. - matte, and that Hanlan, who ought to rank as it good judge, declared him to be the finest oarsman he ever sew.

It was reported on Saturday that Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper, had gone over Niagara Falls in a robber suit. The olr- oumstances, however, do not warrant any belief whatever in the truthfulness of the report, 'which appears to have been start- ed by the fakir himself and a couple of his friends. 'That,' said E. W. Tuttle to The Planet, on Tuesday, as he held out a small pear, 'was plucked off a tree 75 feat in height.' The tree, Mr. Tuttle said, was on a farm on the River road, Raleigh, about five miles from town. A fruit -bearing tree of that height in this country is quite a curiosity. Chatham Planet.

For over a year past Mr. Barber, of the Georgetown paper mile, has been engag- ed erecting a large dam a0roae the Credit River, below the paper mills.

Over these the whole power of the Credit River is being conveyed by electric eurrent. The motor now running 12 sixty horse power, and the largest ever started.
