We have been requested to state that •Sir Richard Cartwright, M. P. for Cen- tre Huron, will deliver an address- on the political affairs of the country, in the village of Brucefield, on Wednesday Octeber 12, at two o'clock p. m. We have no doubt but a large number of the people in this section of the county will avail themselves of this favorable., opportunity for hearing the ex -Finance Minister. A most cordial invitation is extended to all to attend, and even those who are politically opposed to Sir Richd might profit by hearing him. It always does a person good to hear both sides of a question discussed. - THE Toronto Mail and Montreal Star are just now having a very ani mated fight over the important quer tion as to which has the largest circnla tion. It is, to say the least, very un- dignified for two such pretentious journals to waste columns of space over a matter which is at best only of pri- vate 'interest and not of the slightest importance to the public. They should leave this sort of thing to the small dailies and the backwoods locals. If either of them had to depend upon its own enterprise for support., and was consequently forced to chaise a price that would pay the cost of pro- duction and reasonable interest on the money invested, neither of them would have much to boast of in the way of circulation. But, it so happens that both are bolstered up by outside cap- ital ; they both supply their papers at prices that a concern conducted on commercial principles could not afford, and hence their large circulations. Circulations gained in this way are not much to boast about. If we had money enough wo could get up a paper in Sea - forth, which, by giving it away would, in twelve months or less, secure -a larger circulation than either of them. The Mail and Star are not circulated gratuitously, but they ere the next thing to it. A GREAT deal is being said just now about the good qualities of the late President and his wife, and the "wonder- ful fortitude" with which Mrs. Gar- field bears up under her heavy bereave- ment. This is all right enough in its way, but there is such a thing as over- doing it. Severe as Mrs. Garfield's affction is, it is not one whit harder to ,bear than thousands have borne be- fore. The human affections are as strong in the most humble as in per- sons of higli estate. She, certainly, has ty ,hear her grief, and that is a burden of which none can• relieve her, but, in the midst of it all, she has the satis- faction of, knowing that she has, not only the sympathy of the. entire nation, but that pecuniarily, herself and her children, are liberally provided for. Thousands of women have had to bear grief as keen as hers, intensified by a knowledge of the fact that they had lost their only earthly provider and protector,: and the prospect of a life of penury and want before them. Many ouch have received but little sympathy, although probably equally deserving with her who is now the subject of so much condolence and so many fulsome plaudits. This however, is an incon- gruity - of human nature. It has ever been so, and most probably ever will be. Still there is no harm in directing at- tention to its existence. The poor and lowly, although often the most worthy, too frequently receive but scant sympathy. M. JOHN RIORDAN, the celebrated paper maker and real proprietor of the Toronto Mail, is now spoken of as one who is likely to receive the appoint- ment to one of the -vacant Senator - ships. In discussing his claims to the position, the Toronto World says: If service to a party is a ground on which to base a claim, then Mr. Riordan has a good case. He has given the Con- servatives a journal which in its build - is, in the opinion of those competent to ing and facilities for turning out a paper I know, the equal, if not the finest, of any in the world. Moreover, Mr. Riordan i b was one of the first protectionists in the I t country, and as a manufacturer 18 i e thorougghly posted as regards its capaci- ' t ties and products. On questions con- I t netted with the Welland canal, trade, i wi railways,. etc., and the general require- i meats of the oonntry, Mr. Riordan is well up. Though he can scarcely be called a- journalist, still Mr. Riordan is the owner of the most influential jour- nal our nal of . his party, and, as Mr. James Beaty said the other day, the Govern- ment of Sir John Macdonald should nolti be slow to recognize the newspaper' men of his supporters. The late Gov erument made Messrs. Fabre and Penny Senators from Quebec. Now: that George Brown is gone, the jour nalism of Ontario is unrepresented in the Upper House. Ir NOW turns out . that the'medical gentlemen who attended President Garfield were entirely mistaken as to the direction the fatal bullet had taken - as well as to its position in the body. 1 The examination which was made after death illustrated strikingly the defec. tiveness of the materials on which medical diagnosis has to be made, and the consequent liability of even the most skilled physicians to seriously err. In this instance the. bullet was not found where it was supposed to be, and had gone in an entirely opposite direc- tion to the one the doctors thought it had taken. After breaking the eleventh rib, it had turned to the left, and not, as was believed, to the right, breaking some of the spinal vertebrae ; and the channel to the right, which the doctors' were all along probing as the real wound, was a cavity formed by pus. There was a great .deal° of sup- purating surface, and several abscesses, ut none in the lungs or liver, Nor was the immediate cause of death neu- algia of the heart from exhaustion,` ut great internal hemorrhage from one f the mesenteric arteries, rupturing he peritoneum. These discoveries hrow no discredit on the physicians, of ourse. They simply illustrate strik- gly the enormous difficulties in the ay of building up a medical science n observable symptoms, there being r every'"symptom so many possible nd widely differing 'causes. It seems ow universally admitted by the phy- cians that President Garfield had no ance of surviving from the first, and ain enough, too, that nothing but a nstitution of extraordinary power ould have enabled him to survive so ng as he did. b r 0 t c in w 0 fo n si ch pl CO my 10 THE Toronto.News, which is a sharp, healthy off -shoot of the Mail,—is in fact better than the parent vine in many respects,—gets off the following truism and couples it with most ex- cellent advice, which, if followed, would have a healthy effect upon all Concerned. It says : Sir John A. Mac- donald is not one risen from the dead. H is opinions about everything and any- thing are not to be accepted as oracular. In fact, if the gifted and genial Premier, the best hated and best loved man in the land, has a decided weak- ness, it is a penchant for humbugging everybody. His staunchest supporters never know when the old fox is laugh- ing at them in his sleeve. He knows that human nature loves taffy, and he deals that cora: iodity out with a lib- eral and cunning hand. For our part, we find the diet monotonous. Since his return from England we have had his views and comments ad nauseiLn . The Opposition jcurnals shower him with vitriol, and their Conservative contemporaries smear him with mo- lasses. Both are wrong. - Give the old man a rest. SAYS the Toronto World : Sabbath observance does not appear to interfere with the enterprise of the Canadian Pacific railway syndicate. Recently some of its members held a business meeting in the Queen's hotel Toronto, city on a Sunday afternoon, and a cir- cular, signed ay A. B. Stiekney, general superintendent of the company, has just been issued in Winnipeg to this effect : "This company, having completedits• track from Portage la Prairie to -;.Bran- don, a distance of seventy-seven miles, the control of this section will be turned over to. the operating department on Sunday, the 25th inst." SIR JOHN MACDONALD was presented with an address of welcome by the council of Ottawa on behalf of the citi- zens of that city on Tuesday last. The presentation took place in the city hall, and was witnessed by a large concourse of citizens. The affair was of a purely non-partisan character. Sir John made a very neat speech in reply, in the course of which he made the pleas- ing announcement that his health was fully restored, and that he felt stronger and more vigorous than he had done for years. - OE THE many funny reasons advanc- ed for the continuance of Upper Canada College, probably the most funny is that put forward by the Wingham Times. It gives as a "prominent" reason "the comparative ease with "which the rejected candidates for en- trance to our High Schools and Colle- "giate Institutes can be received into 'the college." That is, all who are too indolent, or who have not the necessary rain power to prepare themselves for he very moderate examination requir- d to pass the entrance examination to he High Schools, and are too high- oned to defile themselves by contact th the "common herd" in the public schools, can find an asylum in Upper THE Canada College. In other words,- that the Province mast maintain a "college" for blue-blooded drones and inoompe- tentas Probably our contemporary thinks if they can not be made scholars they can be made "gentlemen," so called. Perhaps they can, but the country has no right to pay for this - kind of education. IT is creditable to the American people that they have made ample pro- vision for the widow and family of their late President. Shortly after the fatal shot was fired, a fund with " this object was started, and the good work has been continued, until now it is stated, the sum of $250,000 has been subscribed and paid in. In addition to this and other property possessed by the late President, his life was insured for a considerable sum, -reported to be $25,- 000, in the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, and that a check for the amount was forwarded by the company the day after his death.

After a somewhat lengthy trial the judge held the evi- dence for the Crown not sufficient to warrant a conviction, although the magistrates were quite justified in send- ing the case up for trial. —Daring the dry spell the people in the vicinity of Amberley, township of Ashfield, were very badly off for water. Nearly all the wells in .,the settlement were dry, and many farmers had to draw all the water they required for their stock, as well as for domestic use, in barrels, some having to carry it as far as three and four miles. —The first funeral under the auspices of the Foresters' Lodge in Wingham w s that of Mr. James Naylor, and took place on Saturday of last week.

Sir Rec- tor's celebration is bearing early fruit. —A few days ago, while Mr. W. Fair- bairn, of Exeter,_ was out shooting, he happened with what might have been a serious accident.

It is thought there will be no disfiguration. —Quite a sensation was caused in the township of Grey the other day by the sudden disappearance, under cover of darkness, of one Wm. Radway, oc- cupying the farm of Mrs. Clark, 16th concession, as tenant. It is supposed he has gone to the happy -hunting grounds of Uncle Sam. He leaves be- hind him a retinue of mourning creditors. —Burglars have been "doing" Exe- ter, and two cases are reported for last week. The victims were Mr. Wm. Hawkshaw, of the Commercial Hotel, and Mr. Hamlin, a private citizen. An, entrance to Mr. Hamlin's house was effected, it is thought, through the window, and the room where Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin slept was' entered, not- withstanding there was a light burning, and a valuable gold watch, belonging to Mrs. Hamlin, which had been left on the bureau, was taken by the thieves, who escaped unheard = any of the in- mates of the house. $n awaking oa Friday morning, Mrs. Hamlin was sur- prised to find that her watch was gone, and that a bottle containing brandy for medicinal purposes, had been taken from the bureau drawer and left stand- ing on the top of it. Mrs. Hamlin had been awake after twelve o'clock, and observed,that the watch was there at that time. Nothing but the watch has been missed. The burglars entered Mr. Hawkshaw's bedroom also on the fol- lowing night, and stole from his pocket $72 in cash, a silver -cased watch, gold chain and locket.

The attendance was not quite as large " as was anticipated, but may be accounted for in consequence of the busy season and the short notice given. —An amusingscene was enacted in the Great Western Railway depot at Toronto on the departure of the 12.50 train last Friday. An Irishman named Patrick Finnigan with his wife and six children purchased tickets for Detroit and made a rush for the train as it was moving out of the depot. The father and sons succeeded in getting aboard, and two policemen endeavoured to lift the wife on the rear end of the car, but she kicked violently and refused to board the train unless she could step on at the same place her husband did; The train had gone a considerable distance, but the conductor slowed up and th e • woman was forced on board. Mean- while Finnigan and his offspring had left the train to seek the wife and mother, and when the train started again, the father, who could not keep track of his sons, leaped on the plat- form of the rear car, where he stood wringing his hands and shouting, "My boys ! my.boys 1 Lord forgive me if I haven't got you all with me."

The negate of the prizes was $164. One of the saddest cases to be ce- ded in connection with the Michi- fires is that of Mr. Michael Crow - formerly of Ellice. His daughter ried a Michigan man some years e. She and her two children were fly burned in the recent fires and husband is so badly scorched that feared he will not recover.

Theyoung man is about 20 years of age, andhad suffered a long time from diseaseof the bone. From the time of theoperation up to Saturday of last week hegot oia very well, but complained verymuch of cramping pains in the footthat was gone. Day and night he saidthat he felt that the foot was still apart of his physical system, and hecould distinctly feel cramping pains init. On Friday, 16th inst. Mr. Rockwas in town and. told a fiiend aboutthe matter. The friend asked himwhat disposition had been made of the severed limb, as he had read of c where amputated limbs had b thrown into uncomfortable positi and that the patients from whom t were severed felt much distresse consequence and could not be quie until the lost member had been moved and placed in an easier more comfortable shape. Mr. R smiled an incredulous snaile at the id and said the limb was all right. I) ing that night the young man snffe more than usual, and insisted that toes were all drawn up and crushed gether.

Then why a should those with one month less have "no chance whatever 2" It seems that uS the cause of your correspondent's ba - he ionsness is on account of the notalious to Huron students leaving Seaforth. et These students had very good reasons for going to the Collegiate Institutes. They knew they were going to institu- tions whose reputations had already been made, whose names were known in every corner of the Province, and whose advantages for students were un- surpassed. These schools stood high- est in the Inspector's report for effici- ency and discipline. They had suc- ceeded by the ability and energy of their masters to the proud distinction of Collegiate Institutes, a term indica- tive of succeesful work. - The head master of St. Catharines Collegiate Institute in his prospectus for 1882 says that 33 counties were re- presented at that school during the year. Is not that a sufficient reason in itself for Students to attend that school. Would it be possible to get a, better proof of the high efficiency of the school ? Every student has a right to go where he pleases, and he generally goes where he can get the most 'value for his money. The fact that the Btu.- dents who left Huron failed does not prove the fact that they would have succeeded had they attended Seaforth. Your correspondent says that the only fair comparison between schools must be on the nunaber who wrote, and not on those who never tried to pass. We admit it, but with the qualification. that there be none of the candidates requested not to write. Towszds the end of his letter the writer has turned critic. Oh, ye gods ! preserve us from such critics. Seldom have we ever seen such a display of compound ignorance. He asks the question, "What is educated air?" Since to properly understand the term we must inhale some of it, we would ask our interrogator to take a trip down to Hamilton, Brantford or St. Cathar- ines and spend most of his time in or near the Collegiate Institutes of those places. He next asks, "How much does a man feel when he feels uncon- sciously ?" What consummate stupid- ity If the.writer will give the sen- tence to sonh-e of the junior pupils in the High School, or to the fourth class in the Public School, and if they have been properly taught grammar, they will tell him inamediately -that =COM- sciously is an adverb modifying driszking, and instead of feeling unconsciously, it means drinking unconsciously. "Oh, the classicality of Fligh School Eng- lish l" He then tries to make out that we do not understand what we write. If he will take the trouble to read Cox's History of Greece, he will find that the "Pythian Festival" was in- tended to:call forth rather the rivalry ef the poets than the conapetition of the chariot race." We used festival synonymous with spring, and as the festival was to bring out the rivalry of the poets, what great blunder was it to use the term as meaning a striving after knowledge. In conclusion we would say that this is cur last. We would not have writ- ten this were it not in self-defence. It is not our wish to injure the Seaforth High School. Should it ever gain the proud distinction of Collegiate Insti- tute, no person- would be better pleased than COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. The Last on a Worn Out To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. Sm.—I do not think the article in the Sun of last week worthy of a reply, nor does it require one. The article itself is quite sufficient to condemn both writer andipublither, the one is worthy of the other ; and as Mr. Neelin said to me on the 22rd ult., it is a matter of life or depth with them, and we can hardly wonder at them making a des- perate struggle for the fornaer by lying this matter through. As to their abuse of me I care not a fig, since I am satis- fied that the public have by this time made up their minds about the printing of t he pamphlet, and have exonerated you from the malicious charges made against you in connection with it.

The Legisla- ture has voted $30,000 for the sufferers. TORNADO IN ILLINOIS.—Tile tornado which visited Quincy on Saturday did $150,000 worth of damage in the sur-• rounding country. The wife of Dr. Watts was killed at Canaden by a fall- ing building. The damage to property in Camden village is $40,000. ha th be th se er, is up TERRIFIC HURRICANE.— Unfortunate Michigan has suffered from the ele- ments, first fire, now wind. A terrific hurricane which was accompanied by p violent thunder and lightning, visited the upper part of the State on the night h of the 21st inst., and did great daniage re to property in a wide extent of country. In the vicinity of Atwood's station on d the Harrison Branch, over 2,000,000 a 'feet of timber was blown down, and s. two men named Wm.

The trees were snapped like e pipe stems, and the work of destruc- tion was awful in its suddenness and completeness; Reply to "High School." MR. EDITOR, — In your last issue "High School" endeavors to shew that the paragraph we referred to was not intended as an "advertising dodge," by taking the following grounds : (1.) The Minister of Education first set the ex- ample by publishing the results of schools in tabular form. (2.) By fol- lowing the example set by the much despised Collegiate Institutes, a num- ber of which he mentions. (3.) Be- cause other local papers did so. (4.) The students and friends wish to know the results ; aud lastly he winds up with a quotation from the Canada School Journal, which we look in vain to find the end of. In the EXPOSITOR of August the 19th were published the names of the successful candidates, with the exception of one, which was somehow overlooked. Now, nobody could be so unreasonable as to find fault with this: Had the School Board given the results in tabular and made a fair comparison, we would never have troubled them. Here he has half a column of irrelevant matter entirely foreign to the subject. Let us dispose of it at once, and in summing it up, all we can say abont it is, that it is six inches long, two inches wide, and weighs half an ounce avoirdupois. Our High School man was evidently not satisfied with his comparison. After taking such unscrupulous pains to secure the largest possible perceetage, it would never have done not to let all the world know it, and to bring especi- ally before the minds of the public the wonderful fact . that nearly all the Huron students who went abroad I failed. Most students who have failed have sufficient sensitiveness to be mor'' tified at the thoughts of it, and we do not consider "High Schoora gentleman when he prides himself in publishing such facts—facts which all interested parties learn soon enough for them- selves. Such attacks on private feel- ings deserve the scorn and contempt of every honest person. Even the wit of the writer and his withering sarcasm are no. eXcuses for the utter disregard he has for the feelings of others. Those who stoop to write "advertis- ing dodges" may well stoop to puff them, and that the basest of all trades should be carried on in the basest of all manners is quite proper and as it should be. But how any man with the least self-respect, the least regard for his personal dignity, will condescend to persecute the public with his "Yankee —Another accident is added to the list in cennection with steam threshers. On Friday, in Thurlow, County of Hastings, several persons were working with a steam thresher, when the boiler exploded, killing three men and a little girl aged eleven years. Three other workmen and a little girl were seriously injured by the explosion. Through some defect of the gauge or careless- ness on the part of the engineer the head of steam carried was not fully known. —A lake captain writes to the St. Catharines Journal complainine of the condition in which the coaractors have left the rock cut of the new Wel- land Canal. Although the unfinished cut is _apparently wider than the old canal, it is really not so, on account of rock projections yet to be removed, while the excavation has still to be con- siderably deepened in some places. The writer questions whether the work of excavation can be completed by the con eactors during the coming winter unless they show more signs of prepar- ation than they are now doing.
