The ''seform. Canctidate• for
North. Huron.
The result of the North Riding
Reform, Convention, the proceedings
at svhieh are reported elsewhere,
will be hailed with satisfaction by
evety true Reformer in the County.
Mr. Somerville is a man of whom
hie party natty well feel proud. He
has pro-ven himself, time and:again,
to be sound and reliable to the core,
and no man deserves better at the
NY
hands of the electors Of North Hu -
ions than he. 1 -He is a pereon. in
. whom the electors can place the
fullest reliance and _confidence.
What he promisee he will carry out.
He has never been an aspirant to
political honors, and has only ac-
cepted his present position upon the
most -continuous and persistent so-
licitations of his friends, He is
not, by` any means, what might be
called an extreme or violent party
man, but by his 'previous career he
,
has proven: his henesty and reliabil-
ity. He'is a man of independent
•spirit and sound judgment, tie:id will
net be led or _driven to vote cor-
trary to the dictates Of, his own con-
science, either by the allurenients of
aain omthe behests of pa•rty, and to

Occutience impossible in future.
It is said that in England. the per-
centage of deaths by lailway acci-
dents is so Small that there is more
danger of tieing struck by lightning
than :of being killed in a railway
smash-ups In America we do not
manage things so -well. Our rail-
ways are built chea.plyr most of them
run through a sparaelY settled coun-
try, and the staff of watchmen and
employees whose occupation is of a
precautionary character is =fr too
snaall.. This state of affairs is quite
unavoidable, -pecuniary consictera-
tions render anything else impos-
siyle. In -England all is different.
Ti e roads run through a densely
populated country, where the most
prcifitable kind of traffic is readily
obtained, the roads are built in the
`mo.et expensive and substantial
mannet, an'clwith hut few excepe
dope have alonble tracks from end
to end. As our own country pro-
gresses 'doubtless railway enterprises
will not lag behind, tin.d in the
fature we may bee the time when
the percentage of deaths by rail-
roads will not exceed that of the
older continent.

REFORM CONVENTIONS.
Lord Dufferine the recently -ap-
pointed Governor-General for the
Dominion of Canada, arrived at
Quebec by the steamer Prussian, on
Tuesday hist. 'His Excellency was
met at the wharf by Sir Hastings
Doyle, several members of the Do-
miaien Government and other dig-
nitaries. He was presented with
an address of welcome immediately
on landing, to which he briefly re-
plied. On Wedneeday, the new
Governor-General was sworn. in,

The Reform Convention for North
Fiuron met at the village of Wing -

pose of selecting a -:aandidate to con-

fully represented by delegates, and,
in addition, a large- number of
staunch men from each municipali-
ty F.howed their interest in the re-
sult of the.proceedings of the day
by being present on the occasion.
The meetiag was called to order by
Mre john Leckie, President of the
old North Huron Reform Associa-
tiou. Mr. Leckie, in opening the
meeting explained the object for
which it had been called, and stated
that owing to the division of the
Comity which had been made, it
wifuld. devolve upon him to :resign
:ais position as President of the As-
sociation. He regretted this. He
had fought many e, hard battle with
the lieformers of the North Riding,
and he now regretted that the liosi-
tion of hie municipality would, in a
certain measure, Prevent hins taking
that interest in their affairs in the
future that he had done in the poet.
However, he could say this fitich,
• that he was still .an elector—in the
Nth Riding, al.f that whoever the
clabice of this Convention might be,
he, would strive ti) Lis utmost to se-
cure his election. He concluded his
reMarks. by calling tor nominations
for President. TI; following gentle-
men' were then 11 proposed for the
position of Preeit- ent :

endMent by Mr.
lvth, seconded by
ary business before the° Cenvention,
the following gentlemen were nom-
inated as candidates:
Moved by Mr. °harks' Girvin,
Reeve of West Wawanosh, second-
ed by Mr. Thomas Powell, of Turn -
berry, That Mr. James Somerville,
of Luelnar, be the Reform ban li-
date.
Moved in amendment by Mr.
Drummond, of Bryth, and seconded
by Mr. James W. Auld, ef Est
-Wawanosh, that Dr. William SI an
be the candidate.
Messrs. Thomas Gibson, M.
of Wroxeten and John Leckie
Ainleyville, were nominated,
declined to stand, and their na
were accordingly withdrawn.
Upon the candidates being cal
upon to address the Convention,
Somerville said that he placed 13
self -entirely in the halide of
Conventf.on. He had freque
been asked, not only for the enst
election, but for others which
gone before, to become a candid
and had. steadily and persistently
fused. - In the view of, late ev4its,
•
hewever, ha felt that all private and
:personal considerations should be
laid aside, and that it was the duty
of any man whom the party might
deem the meet competaut to con
the riding in 'their interests, to p
hiu3self at their disposal. Fee
this, he had at -length consente
allow his name to be brought
ward at this Convention. If, I
ever, the Convention would

sure O them that it would be mot
accordance with his feeling, au
could perhaps do more to near

eould to secure his own. As t
course he would pursue politic
if the candidate, and the succe
candiclat'6, he had not now tin
explaie, but would have ampl
portunity of doing go before

they must judge of -his future c
by his pe!st career.

The Railway Catastrophe.
In another part of tide paper 'will
be found the details of the dreadful
accident of Saturday last, the news
of which: has theilled the country
- with horror. The number of lives
lost sand the dreadful sufferings
many of the unfortunate victims had
to undergo before death, render this
one of the most• appalling 'catastro-
phes which has occurred since\ the
application of steam to locomotion.
The only accident of a, similarly
• horrible character which we can at
present call to mind,' was that which'
occurred at the village of Angola,
N. Y., oa the Lake Shore Railroad,
some five years ago. In that case
several cars loacCd with passengers
were thrown from a high bridge ,in-
to she chasm below-, the 'stoves were

The President, in an address of co
siderable length, thanked the Co
vention for the honor they had. done
him. • He referred to the shameful
division which had been made of the
County. That all the municipali-
ties giving the largest Reform. major-
ities had been. grouped into one Rid-
ing for political purposes, and called
upon every man, whether Reformer
or Conservative, to show his disap-
proval of so disreputable an act, by
votingeagainst the. men who had in-
stigated it. He believed thet by
firna and united action Reform re-
presentatives could be sent from
each of the Hurons. If such a re -
suit; as this could be accoMplished,
and' he believed it could, it would_
show Sir John and his minions that
the , rights of the people couid not
be. trampled upon with impunity, and
that we, as free people were deter-
mined to stand upbravely and nobly
for our rights.
Mr. McLean also briefly thanked
the Convention for the unanimous
appointuient to so important a posi-
tion, and promised to perform its
duties to the best of his ability.
A resolution wasspassed binding
