• The Wetrcienshire
At the opening of the Countyi eoun-
eil, at Goderich, On Tuesday, eir.J.T.
Currie, of East ,Wawanosh, was elect-
ed -Warden of the County for 1907.
There wag no opposition in the coun-
cil. Thie was the year for a Liberalt
to occupy` tne chair, and Mr. Currie
wee selected in the Liberal caucus..
et,,,,--eanneee
The Dominion Parliament.
The members of the Dernielon Par-
liament have been taking matters more
leisurely during' the past week. There
ha.s not been any business a special
importance transaeted, although there
hese beenf several interesting dis-
cussions of- different subjects. We
may them mention in passin,g that
Hon. Cr. W. Ross and Hon. Tenn
Costigan took their seats, in the
Senate on Thursday, and are now
duly inetalled inernbers of that im-
portant body. An interesting discus-
sion was started a few days ago -by
Mr. Wm. Sloan, respecting the pen -
hem granted United States fisher-
men. ineBritigh Columbia, waters. Mr.
Sloan -Urged the curtailment of these
pervilegee, as he claims that the
United States are exploiting the fish-
ing Waters in British Columbia at
the expense of the towns and •vil-
lages of teat Province. As to the
impartance of the British Columbia
fish.eries, Mr. Sloan pointed out that
the fishermen: of that 'Province ship
one-third of the fish produced in the
whole of Canada, and that in 1905
the value -of the Canadian. catch was
$29,29,562. It was also pointed oat
by Other speakers that the New En-
gland Fier Company alone had
spent $700,000 in Canada last year
for supplies.
The Finance Minister announced that
the Government had decided to do-
nate the sum of $50,000 to assist -the
unfortunate citizens 04 Kingston,
Unlade, and that if it be made( ap-
parent that more aid Is needed ho
eald the Government will probably
ask Parliament for its consent to
another stealer amount and that or-
ders had already been given to ship
needed supplies by a, vessel leaving
Halifax for the unfortunate city. This -
announcement was received with
marks of approval by both sides of
the House.
A very distinguished visitor, in the
pereon of Hon. Elihu r Root, Secre-
tary- of State for the United States,
accompanied by hie wife ane daugh-
ter, arrived in Ottawa On Saturday.
and they were the guests of the
-Governor General. Troy prolonged
their visit until Tuesday. The ob-
ject of this visit, whether merely of
a friendly nature or bn State bus -
iness, or a, little of both, has not
yet transpire,: Bet whatever the ob-
ject, it is a good sign. and a good
thing for the statesmen of the neigh-
boring countries to fraternise with
each other in this way.

Mita/nal Notes and Commen't es
The Ontario Legislature was open-
ed with the usual formalities on
Thursday. The addressin reply to

ed by Mr. Ferguson. the recently el-

- ion Goyfrement at Ottawa, has 'de-
cided to try hie fortunes in the West

The earthquake tragedy at King-
eton, Jamaica, Is proving to be a
great deal more disastrous than was
at first reported. The city is- almost
entirely destroyed. There( were over
one teousand kilted and many thous-
ands injured. The shock wan so se -
Vere that the city rocked like a Yes -
eel on a- choppy sea, and the fire.,
which followed the shockproved
even more di:oestrous than the earth-
quake. The city ,has a population of
about 50,000, the white people nine -
tering abut 4,000. The city has been
-very unfortunate, and has suffered
many disasters. Since 1802 there have
been several floods, fires and cy-
clones), all of which - caueed more or
less loss. In 1880 it guttered from a.
double earthquake shock. This last
'however, le proving the worst On re-

nolo On the hew Nortbl street Meth-
odist church was blo n down and
crashed through the roo of the choir
loft. Ast a, result the n w organ wee
badly damaged. Some of the pipes
were broken by tne failing bricks,
while 'othere were damaged by the
plaster and dirt, Which got into the
fine mechanism of tbe instrument.
The extent of the damage to the or-

ed the wind mill on the farm( of Mr.

had gained considerable headway. A
few patio of_ water were procured
from the cistern pump and the flames
were soon under control, although
the ceiling, wainscotting and floor

of last week as Mr. Arthur Boy was
out !hunting on the farm of Mr. J.

cident, which might have 'beeh ate
tended with) even more eerioup iesults.

and uneven ground he stumbled over
_a, knoll. The muzzle .01 the gun came
against his thigh and falling heed --
long over the gun'It was disehaeg-
ed and being loaded with B. B. shot
the whole, charge lodged in' his leg.
His cries for help attracted the at-
tention of some small boys who -
were playing along the banks otthe
creek and finding out the einem-.
stances, alarmed the neighbors, who
had the wounded boy -removed to • his
home ,Doctors Menzies and McKel-
vey were immediately summoned and
extracted 18 grain's of buckshot from.
the injured leg, They anticipate no
:serious results and we trust the un-
fortunate young lad will soon be
around again, but it might easily
have been worse.
-An 'unfortunate and painful ac-
cident betel Mr. Patrick Ryan, sr.,
on Saturday afternoon. While engag-
ed in splitting up some kindling wood
with aft' axe, he eevered the indebt
finger of the left hand. 'He came to
Walton and had Dr. Menzies dress
the wounded member. We hope he
will soon, be recovered and also that
our genial Pat will be as good a. man,
as many of our younger men who
are possessed of all those useful
membere.
