Coneervative Convention at
1313ttia. •
The Liberal. Conservatives of the
North Riding Of Heron held, a Cont en-
-toe at Boland's Rotel, Blyth, ou Friday,
the 7h July. The attendance of dele-
gates was not large,. which, no doubt,
was pertly owing to the busy season of
the year, and partly to the insufficiency
of the notiee given to the municipalities
to call meeting, and elect delegates to
attend said Conventiote Some of the
Townships were well represented, other's
passably, and Isom not at all. How-
ever, shortly after one o'clock the meet-
ing was called to order, -awl: Thomas
Esq,
. Reeve of Morris, placed in
the chair. The chairman explainecl! the
object of the meeting, which. -was; he,
said, to form an Asueatiun similar to
that which exultect in the South
He then entered into the details of the
scheme, and coachnled by hoping that
hinenoey would prevail throughout their
deliberations, and that, unity of action
would. characterize all their proceedings:
After a short discussion, the Convention
proceeded to select its officers, when the
following selection was made :--Joseph
Leech, Esq., Turnberry. President.;
John Mallough, Esq., West Wawan osli,
Vice -President; A. Farrow, Blue:Vale,
Secretary. Several questioes of import-
ance were brought before the Convention
after its organization, which were duly
discussed, arid 'disposed of to the eetire
satisfaction of the Conveation. The
next meeting will be held at Blyth„ on
the first of August. It is the intention
at that meeting to select a • candidate te
contest the'North Riding of Huron at
next election for the House Cif Commens.
Ainleyville.
Itallavetv,-There is quite. an excite-
ment about railways. The Welliegton,
Gret and Bruce dele-ates held a ineet-
irig in this place, on `Friday last, for the
purpose of ascertaining the opinion of
the peoplein regard to their railway.
Mr. McGivern, of Hatnilton, addressed
the meeting at some length. He epoke
on the manner in which they intended
.to build their road. Be ascribed the
delay of their road heretofore to not
having received the sanction of the Bug-
lish Directors of the, Great 'Western.
But now they have obtained that, and
all that is wantecl is the requisite
aid from the municipalities. They ask
as bonus ! $6,000 per mile, or $4,909
if they can get the Government grant'
They express. their willingness tb bnd
themselves to have the load finis ed
one year from the time the boneses o re
paid over- to thein. A Listowel dele
tion accompanied the Hamilton ea u.'
The Listowel _people are very sanguine
of this scheme, and well. they may be,
for it is their only chance. It is es
ported the Wellington, Grey and Bit ca

fered to the London Road: _
we stated last week, salt
was stru.ck at a depth Of 1,012 feet, but
after -boring seven feet through the salt,
shale was again struck. It is expected,
however that another layer of salt will
be struck in a day or. two, as indications
are getting very strang. „

SUICIDE AND 1NQUEST.-A farmer
named Boyd, living about a _Mile from
Wroxeter, committed suicide last -Fri
day, by hanging himself on a tree in the
woods, a short distance froth his. house.
It seems that for some tune past he had
been in a despondent state, owing to
monetary difficulties, and had often told
his acquaintances that he would :not be
long here,and used other expteseions to
the same intent, and thee& his 'family
could scarcely believe that his threats
would end in any attempt on tis own
life, they kept a watch cia hiemovemeitts,
never allowing him to he any length of
time out of sight. Last Friday mainline
however; he left the house about ten
o'clock, and not returning as Swill as he
was expected, lus Airife sent for her son
who was at work on a farm abeut half
mile distant. He and :others! &leached
the woods, and about two o'clock- in the
afternoon bit body was found. ! He had
apparently been dead for some !time. ! A
quantity of _arsenic and a razor were found
in his pocket, ,when examined. 1 Deceas-

" Ado Fly " club, says. "their hicteey
was a very questionable sine, however."
Now,- we don't think that a majerity of
49 runs in seven innings is a victory at
all "questionable," in feet, it looks like
very decided one. The only thing
that apia aee at all "lnestionahle " is
the Sanity of the writer, in giving such
statements to the pu 'dee iathe face ()latch
unquestionable proofs to the contrary.
That all the Ainleyville ''players regard
the victory as questionable We very
ntuch doubt, as we believe there are
some of the players who have the court -
est to acknowledge • (and. in fact have
acknowledged) their defeat, - and who
Would neither write such a letter nor
endorse its coostents. . He then kindly
informs us that the " `Slito- Fly' pitcher
delivored unfair balls.' We need merely
say it reply, that Mr.' Dalton telegraph-
ed to Mr. Canteron, of the Seaforth club,
-oft Monday, asking his -opinioe of the
fairness of the balls, and received the
following teply : "1 coneider them fair
balls." -Mr. George T. Brown, formerly
ecapte...in of the Bluevale • club, who has
aeted as umpire in several matches in
this vicinity, was also written t�; he
replied 'All balls I Saw delivered
eonsidet fair." With all deference to
the Aitleyville authority on base ball
matters, we opine. that he is a little out
this tirne. He them copies a base ball
rule for the benefit of the Wroxeter club
no doubt, which is to the effece that all
base ball matches not plas ed. 'according
to rules and regulations shall not be con-
sideted. as e re.gular." Now, we do uot

claim that the match was "regular ;"
vcey few regular games are played by
base ball clubs oa the "Shoo Bly " md
" Maitland" grade, and it is -well knewn
to base ball players that such is the close,
We are safe in saying thatnot one metch
out of a dozen is played exactly award-
ing to regulations ; the rules concerning
the calling of bars and mealy others are
almost universally &sit:garde/1; by
second and thirdiate clubs; but thole is
one distinction AI 11 kb. we willingly ac-
cord to the Ainleyville Club, (oara her
to those members of it, who claim that
the " Shoo Fly" elub did not (min the
match,) and that is, . they are tlie irst
club to our knewletige, 'who would at-
tempt to wriggle out of a defeat- in such
a manner, lie 2-,oes on to state " the
rules o!. the game were violated, th !aa -
fore the " Maitiands " contend that the
-
game goes for nothing." After that,1 we
would advise the " Maitiands" to on-
tenl that they gained a victory, and t my
may in thne succred in gainhig one, 1 y a
a mneh easier plan than to bat and I- eld
for it. When they are in this content ing
line they might just as well do the
whole business. They may perhaps . ue-
ceed in convincing themsetres that t ley
did gain a victory by pure " schamit g,
as Pat says. He then tells us that mlbe-
fore the game c menced. the Ain ey-
title players obj cted to the Wrox 'ter
ipitcher's style of delivering a ball, tnd
I attempted to go' Mr. Cameron, of the
' Seaforth "Stars ! chosen umpire, but
the " Shoo Flies' would not listen to -
this, so rather th n let the game deop,
Ainleyvelle " ga -e in." Very kind. of
Ainleyville indee 1, after being so shaine-
fully wronfted, to give in. But -aceOrd-
Mg to the testae iny of alessrs. Cameron
and Brown, the sells were fair, and we
think it weak4 e a pretty nice "go"
if the Wroxeter layers -simply because
the Ainleyville layers objected to the
" style "-would give in when they
knew they were in the right. If we
mistake not, Mr. Cameron was !referred
to on the ground as to the fairness of
the balls, and he thee sustained Wrox!
eter's style of pit •
hina Had there been
e
any satisfactory r ason for changing the
umpire, the Wro. eter players were per-
fectly willing to accept Mr. Cameron,
but did not choos to do so simply because
the Ainleyvillepl yen " objected." IJe
tells us "the Ainleyville players ad nit
being beaten in a game resembling he
old style of base ball, but still consiler
themselves a match for Wroxeter iii a
proper game." We mutt acknowleilge
ourselves in favor of the old style of base
ball, if the new s yle consists in gatung
matches in the ea y Ainleyville Is ding
in this ease; and as to their consider ng
themselves a mat li. for ' Wroxeter ii. a
proper game, the3 are quite welcome to
consider just as ti ey please, for ther is
neither pleasure m satisfaction in piby-
ing with a club wi o have -not the court-
esy- to own up hen beaten. We are
very doubtful if A mieyville is entitled to
the game, ever in the proper !style of
doing things, for le players bad ta wait
more than thirty mutes on the groeud
for the Ainleyvill t. nine; and Section 3,
Rule 5, declares t le game to be forfeited
