He. was sure from the feeling everywhere eiepressd that the public were aware of the danger of having a Govern- ment bidding one. day for the stip- port of Quebec and the next for some other section. He told of the money wasted in buying a residence for Mr.'Larkin in England' and a hotel in Paris where several millions of Canadian money was squandered at a time when Canada could not pay its debts. • Mr. j. J. Merner also spoke and his reception showed he was as warm a favorite as ever in South Huron. After a very hot, sultry day on Friday last an electric storm of unusual violence developed in the vicinity of Seaforth about $:30 in the 'evening; accompanied by rain. The flashes of lightning were for a time continuous, causing a most weird effect. There was not much damage done. The chimney on Mr. A. Lowry'% house was struck and Mr. Bennett's barn on the Goderich road where a pig was killed. The light, service in town had a large number of fuse plugs 'blown out. The street lighting machine was badly damaged and will have to be partly replaced before the lights can be put on again.
