Dr. Campbell, who gave his reasons for

prateated his adherence to Reform prin-
ciples!, but he claimed that the conven-
tion alt which Mr. McMillan was nom 7
inatec was not fairly constituted, but
. had b ,en packed in his favor. He also
oppos d Mr: McMillan on account of his

WILspN vs. -KEMP.—We notice by.
the Toronto papers that this case has
again 1een decided in favor of Mr.
Kemp. The plaintiff, James Wilson, is
a weal hy man residing in the town of
Seaforth, where the defendant, Walter
Kemp, who is a laboring man, also
resides. 1 The plaintiff brought this
action to eject the defendant nfrom a
certain property in the town of Sea -forth
on the ground that the defendant had
made default in the payment of the pur-
chase money:, Mr. Kemp's defence was
that he was always ready to pay the
purchase money but that Mr. Wilson
could not give him a good title. The
case was tried at the Chancery sittings
in Goderich I in Septeinber last when
judgment was given in favar of Mr.
Kemp and Mr. Wilson was ordered to
pay all costs. Not being satisfied • with
this decree Mr. Wilson carried the case
to a higher court with -the above result.
We congratulate Mr. Best on his success
and the able manner with which he has
conducted the .case for his client, Mr.

Mr. Taylor was born in the; town of
Perth, county of Lanark, in the y ar

township of Hibbert and was one of he
pioneer settlers of that township. IHc

ship of Usborne, at Elimville, where be
remained Until the spring of '1884 w ,en
he emigrated to Dakota with his famly.
He enjoyed good health for two ye rs
when he was taken ill with some dise se
which baffled all medical skill, and he
continued to grow weaker in spite of ,,he
ministering of kind friends and :medical
aid, and death put an end tohis suffer-
ings on the 26th of January last. Jr)
Taylor bore his illness very patienItlY
and without a murmer. He was quiet;

his dealings with his fellow. men; a g od
neighbor and a kind father, and a fai h7
ful member of the Presbyterian chut

whom he was acquainted. He 1 -as

Sociare—On Thursday night . of 1
week a successful social was held, at
residence of Mr. John Jardine, on
4th concession of Howiek. The.atte
ance was very large, notwithstand'ng
the bad condition of the roads. Af er
ample justice had been done the excel-
lent provision prepared for the oceasi n,
the entertainment,- consisting of . vo
and instruthental inesie, recitations a
speeches, was commenced. The (or
band, under the leadership of Mr.' Hy
lon, was present and addetl much to he a)
h le
enjoyment: . The proceeds,. whic
amounted to i,`,,'1.7), are to be expended

takes charge of the bakery. ---At th6
Scott Act trial one of the .witnesses was

sWered "Short." "What did it taste
like ?" Answer — It tasted like
short.'" We do not know what is the
correct name for " short ;"but if
" short " is a name given to intoxicat-
ing liquors, the name is very appro-
priate. Alcoholic liquors short -en the
tempers as well as the lives of those who
U se them too freely. Strong Would be -
another very significant term to apply to
suds -liquors. We have seen men who
were physically strong stagger and
even fall in conseq trace of having taken
-too much liquor.—Tuesday was nomin-
ation day and there was a large crowd in
the village—the largest that has been
here for a considerable time. The town-
shipball could not hold all. Some of
those present had been imbibing too
freely of soinething that affected them
as whisky used to affect those who
drank too much of it; but, as the Scott
_Act is in force here, and a Police -Magis-
trate living in our village, it is pbssible
that nothing stronger than short"
could be procured.

FOOT BAT, MATM.---A friendly foot
ball match was played, on Saturday
last, between the pupils of school sec-
tions nine awl two. The snow storm
on Saturday made the ground heavy,
thus giving the advantieee to the team
representing No. 2, tini boys being
much larger than thoae of No.19. The
field was very evenly contested. Dur-
ing the first half-time no goal was made,
in the second half-time No. 2 made! two
goals. As No's 9 and 2 are always :at
peace with each other, the, beat of feel- '
ing prevailed throughout. the game. A
return match is to be play
frail Saturday. A- LMOST FATAL A. evi_
DENT.- -As the pupils of School Section
NO. 1, Turnberry, were retnrning home
from school on Monday, the 7th inst.,
: one of the boys, a lad about 17 years of
age, took a basket for a foot hall be-
longing to Frank Wright, aged 9 years,
son of Mr. Win. Wright. The child in
his endeavors to get his basket did not
observe a team -coming along with a
load of salt of :30 eWt. Ere the man
could stop his horses, they were. on the
boy, and knocked him down. One of
the corks of the horse& feet went above
the eye and another through his (shin
and the whole load Of salt went over
him. The teacher andherbrother were
close behind and took the wounde.d
child in their cutter, but never tied up
his wounds. It was a very cold, stormy
night, the wind was in his faee, anm.:.
notwithstanding the child was eovered
with blood, they left him at the gate, ei
distance of over 40 rods from his home,
to the mercy of three small boys to
carry borne. l f is head was greatly
swollen with the cold. Dr. Smale was
immediately sent for, and pronounced
t c my to be in a very dangerous eon-
