A Melancholy Occurrence. , A most melancholy aecident happen ed at Goderich on Wednesday of las week, by which two promising youn men, residents of that town, lost their lives.., On that evening, Ir es F Dickson, editor of the Signal, and Mr Robert D. Carey, M. A., law student went out on the lake for a s.i1, and nev- er returned. The evening is intensely sold, the water rough, and the emit in which they embarked was too fra,i1 and too heavily rigged, even for cairn water, and neither of the unfortunate) victims were competent to manage a boat under such unfavorable circumstances. In- deed. had it not been for thia lack of knowledge and experience, they would not have ventured out on such e day, and especially in such a craft. Before going they were repeatedly warned by cdd and experienced boitt men. of the dangembut being inspired with that love for adventure and daring so common to youthful and buoyant spirits, theYturn- ecl a deaf ear to all warnings,and the forfeit of their live*as the penalty of their daring. They left the wharfShort- Iy after 4 o'clock, and. as evening ap- proached and they did. not return, their friends became alarmed, and e tug boat was sent out to search for them. When about three Miles down the lake, end about an equal distance freed the shore, those on the tug found the ill-fated beet floating bottom uppermost; the 3rt also_ found floating on the water the coat of young Carey, but no further trace has since been found of the unfortunate young men. Mr. Carey is universally I admitted to have been an exemplary young man of much promise. As for Mr. Dickson,it may truly be said of him that he was in every respect a model man. He was but twenty-four years of e age, and few men of his years give bet- ter promise for a usefullife andbrilliant Gamer. As a writer he was pos- sassed of much ability, and as a buainess man he was ahrewd, but retiring, and. better still,. strictly honest and upright. Although so young in years; he was fully master of his pro- fession, and under his. management, the ; Signal was raised from the verge of dis- solution to a poaition of prosperity teed to rank among the first local iournals in the Province. It id. with feelings of the deepest regret and. sincere sorrow, • that we chronicle his sad, and untimely •death, which is at once a heavy blow to his aged. parents and friends, and agreat 10i3S to the entire community. to take longer time to consider the mat- ter. That the Council of 1879 will be better prepared to finally lead with the matter, past experience leads us to be somewhat doubtful. The committee which reported at the recent session is the second or third that has had the matter in charge, and the _final decision was staved off -from year to year just as it has been this year. These committees have. cost the county a, very consider- able etre of raoney, end unless the Conned of next year utilize the informa- tion thus gained, all the money expend- ed will have been absolutely wasted. We hopes, therefore, that between this and next January the ratepayers will use the:information laid before them, and come to such a decision that they may definitely instruct their represen- tatives at the next election either to t proceed With the work at once or to de- g finitely -abandon it. 'After carefully perusing -the information furnished by . the last committee, and considering the . question in all its bearings, we have , every confidence that the people will be abundantly satisfied to incur the trifling expenditure necessary to secure a com- fortable horne for their unfortuuate fel- low mortals. • AnOther Specienen. Last week we gave a specimen what the Opposition eress. of this county can ao in the way.of misrepresentation. Our readers mist not conclude, how- ever, that the samples we give from time to time embrace the whole of that sort of thing indulged in by these jour- nals. ,Were we to reply to and refute : one-fourth of the slanders and lihels heaped upon the Reform candidates and their leaders from week :to week by these papers, the whole of our space would be deVotecl to the nauseous wor 'nag litTRON EX uents, in preference to breaking that pled,ge and supporting his party in try ing to do what he believed. was wrong Not only this; but immediately after giving this vote he received a letter from the 'President of the South Riding Conservative Association, asking him for an explanation of the course he had wards, giving as a reason that she _ thought they were peanuts, "because they cracked in her mouth." Serious * illness resulted, but by medical assist- ance the little child. escaped death. It is not positively known whether she Was poisoned by the bugs or by Paris green wlsich had. beeit sprinkled on the plants. purSued. Greenway immediately • replied_ to that letter, giving an explan- ation, and agreeing at the same time, that if the Conservative Association would say that his course was not in ac- cordance with the principles he pro- • fessed to them before his election, he would at once resign his seat. From that day to this Mr. Greenway has not received an answer to this letter. And -why was this letter not answered? Simply because thOse to whomit was directed knew perfectly well that it was their own political leaders and not their parliamentary representative who had changed base, and played the part of political traitors. The Opposition press may, and no' doubt will, continue to abuse Mr. Greenway, and shout after him" traitor," but they can net; and they dare not tiy to, refute one single word we have said in his behalf. They may pursue and pereecute him, but they can not prove that he acted the part of a" traitor" towards them. It of was the Censeresative party who turned ageinst Mr. Greenway, because he re- fused to desert his peinciples at the bid- ding of his party, and. it was the lead- ers of that piety who deserted the prin- ciples of a life time for the prospect of temporam party gain, and they refused to allow Mr. Greenveay to remain in their ranks unless he would prove as re- creant to his principles as theyhad done 't� theirs: it is a knowledge of this feet that makes thempurmie line so bitter- ly now. He has, however, the proud consciousness of having done right, and. We content content ourselves with an oceanic) I spe�irnen, and from these our read- ers may judge of the ethers. In the Toronto 'Vail of Monday last we notice the following: ' The Mitchell " Advocat9 " tells this story -of the i renegade G-reenwav, Grit candidate in South 1 Huron: "Before till' Grits would consent to let ' line be: eleetNI by acclamation, (at his last oleo - tion) it has f.inee turned up that Mr. Greenway • gave to Elie 'party of purity' a written pledge, • that if unopposed, he would, on all minor mat- , tern, for the first year, vote with Sir John, but if a ' test question came up, he would record his name on thirside of the Government.. 0 The second and following years he would vote straight with Mac- :le-1We, under all circumstances. Thase were the terinS of the bargain and sale, and well has he performed his part, but thank Provi,lence his re- ward is nigh at hand." As the above is only one of the many falsehoods • which are being indu triously •. circulated through Sent Huron by Mr. Geeenway's opponent we -need not make any epology fo briefly referring to L it, and placing Mr. Greenway in his proper position before the people, and we would direct the special attention of the Mail, the Advo- cate and all Others who have aided in circulating the above fabrication, t., the statement we make : It is not true that Mr. Greenway gave either a written or a verbal -pledge, as above stated. When Mr. Greenway went to Perliamept there was nothing to prever,t his supporting the Opposition, save his conseience and his sense of right and wrong. On the contrary, he had everything to lose and nothing to gain by taking the course he did. Had Mr. .Greenway adhered firmly to the Opposition, he might have continued to represent South Huron as • long as he wanted to. The party to -which he then belonged were proud of his abilities, and had be been auffi- mealy subservient 'to abandon his honest convictions at the bidding of his political leaders, he would to -day be the idol of the Conservative party in South Huron, as he was in 1874. But, simply because he refused to abandon the prin- ciples of a life time, and give the lie to his past prefessions and teachings, at the dictation of Sir John Macdonald, hose who formerly idolided him new denounce him as a traitor, and never, - veary in slandering and villifying him. There is not a Conservative in South Huron who does net know that while 'was the candidate of that party, at early everyneeeting-he held he avowed iis determined. hostility to a protective asiff. ConservatiVeadid not then find ault with his free trade views, but rather impleuded •them. • That kir. Greenway was irrevolcably • committed both publicly and privately, to oppose an increase in the tariff except for evenue.purposes, there is not a Con- ervative in South Huron will deny; ed the Conservetiyes were perfectly stisfiecl with his position on this tines- , House of Refuge. •- As will be seen by reference to the re- port of the County Council proceedings, definite action in the matter of estab- lishing a House of Refuge and Tndus- trial Farm in this county has been , again deferred until next January. The ; able report of the committee appointed - to visit and. examine, into the working of similar institutions in other counties, sihould receive a careful perusal. 'It plaees.the benefits of the system, and the coniparative cost of its working, very plainly before the people. We may here remark that • the _committee unanimously concurred in •the report.Several raembers who had fonuerly op- posed the scheme admitted that what they had seen and the information they had gained, induced theml to -change 11 their minds and become firm support- I, ers of it. It was also demonstrated that the first cost of establishing the institutien would. only amount to about 01 77 en each 100 acres, and the an- nual expense of maintenance would not exceed 50 cents per 100 acres. Now, *lien we look at the matter in this light, we are not surprised at the eel.1„ version of men/berg- of the committee: Although we arefree to admit that even were a Poor Ilbuse established it would net entirely obviate the neceesiity for municipal and' private charity, ek-'et we cannee that it would. very materially decrease these. • And, although as a matter strictly of dollars and cents the establishment of a House of Refuge might uot be a profitable investment, yet looking at the question from a hu- mane point of view, we must freely ad- mit that the argument is entirely ii fa- vor of such an institution. From the evidenc,e given by the committee, we have no hesitate 1 in deciding, that the extra comfort afforded to the poor and =fortunate in theso institutions, far overbalances any extra expenditure that their establishment and maintenance entail. This seemed, also, to be the universal opinion .of the County Council, but a small raajority, while freely admitting this point, being pos- sessed, as we think, of undue and un- necessary caution, tlaought it advisable can well afford tolet them yelp.. _ Oun Exeter contemporary, the edi- torial:columns of which are, We under- stand,. under the direction of the. Con- servative candidate for .Sonth Huron, seems still to -labor under the delusion that if the Canadian duty cai cattle im- .ported- into this country from the Unit- ed States were increased, the price Of cattle here would also be increased. To show how absurd this contention is, we produce the following figures taken from the trade and navigation returns for the year 1877, which shows the number of 'Cattle imported into Ontario from the h United States, and the number export - e; Cd. from Ontario to the United States r daring that year: tion. It wa§ on this question that Ir. Greenway gave his first vote: against the•Conservative party, as a party, in Parliament. Now, we ask every honest Man, be he Conservative or Reformer, to candidly consider the question and decide for himself which was the proper thing for Mr. Greenway to do to vote in accordance with his ea - pressed and well-known convictions and against his party, pr with his partY and against his convictions. He voted_ in accordance with his convictions and against his party. In doing so,' will any honest man say he did _wrong? But, for doing this, he was read out Of the Conservative ranks. The next day after he gave this vote, the To- ronto Mail denounced him as a traitor, and every member of the Opposition party in Parliament turned their backs upon him, and refused to recognize him, and why? Simply be- cause he kept his pledge to his constit- • Imported. Exported. Horned -cattle• 427 11,144 Hones 172 • 3,648 Sheep.. .... . .. ..... .. 7 169,57P Now, in view of the facts disclosed by the above figure, we ask what earthly benefit could accrue to the Ontario far- mer by increasing the Canadian duty on cattle, horses and sheep? It is scarce-, ly worth while just now to further dis- cuss the question as te -whether or not the Canadian farmer pays the Ameri- can duty. We tried to make it clear to our. contemporaay, by its own illustra- tion, that he does not, but me don't pro- fess to be able to convince those who won't be convinced. In the naeantime we leave to our Eider friend the task of proviug to its readers, iii the face of the above figures, that the doctrine it preaches would, if- adopted, in any measure benefit the farmers of On- tario. • TUE Quebec Government are having a, hard. struggle for emstence.
