SOUTH ECURON'1113FORMER5 A meeting of the Reform Aseocia- tione a South Hume, as Constituted for Dorrilnion and Provincial purposes, was held in Hensel], on Tuesday lasst. Considering the very ilaa State of the roads, there was a fair.. attendance. The object of the meeting Was to -con- sider the propriety of amalgamating the two Associations, Whieh, *hither- to, have had a, separate existence. This was teceseary uinder the former aerangement of the constituencies,but now that 'both conistituenelee are near- ly the Same, amalgamation .was thought to be desirable. The presi- dent of , the Provincial Association, Mr. T. G. Stanbury, .barrister, of 'Exeter, presided. In a neat address he stetted the object of he .meetiper„and clearly defined, the eituation. .After a thorough MaCWISIOn a 'resolution was unanimoesly passed agreeing to the amalgamation. After -this the meeting , proceeded to organize the amalgamated -Association. • Mr. Alex. Mustard, of Bruce -field, for many years Oesident of the Dominion As - sedation, and ler. Stamburymeho had filled a similar dposition for the Pro- vincial Association, 'expressing their desires to be relieved from' office, Ur: Henry Smith, of: Has, wais. ap- pointed president of the amalgamat- ed Association; Mr: Alexander Mus- tard, let vice president; Mr. 'James Watson;' Seafoeth, 2nd vice presi- dent, and Mr. Jacob Kellerman'Dash- wood, 3rd vice president. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright, and Hon. George P. Graham were appoint- ed honorary vice presidentc Mr. J.G. Stanbury was appointed secretary, and Mr. John Murdoch, of Stanley, treas- urer. The following were appointed municipal chairmen for their respect- ive municipalities; alcKilles, John _McDowell; Seafortte J. le. McCallum; Tuckersmith, George S. Black; Stan- ley, Wm. Murdoch; Bayfield, John 'Fraser ; Goderich township, John Tore; ranee; Hay, Charles Fritz; Hensel', Dr. MeDermid ; Stephen, Jacob Holtz- man ; Exeter, S. Martin; Usborne, Eckert Gardiner. The constitution was -revised, cor- rected, made applicable to the amalga- mated Association-, and adopted. The Matter el fixing the date for the Domini= convention. in Juno, and ar- ranging ifor the' calling of" a con- vention to select a Provincial condi-, date, were left for the executive corn- enittee, *filch is composed of the of - leers of ;the Society and the munici- Pal ch,alr(men. count. It seems that a batch' of ac- coar.ts were sent in by the compeller and of these some $1160,000 were of a nature that according to law they shoeld not be charged to construc- tion. They were missed by the aft- cere of the company and ;by the Public -Works Department of the Government but when they came before the 'Fi- nance Departrneet they were thrown out ane payment was refused and the a:coulits were returned to the corn- - pany. The Opposition wanted to get these refused accounts to see what tbey contained and moved a vote of censure on ;the Government because tee et were returned to the company. Tile Government replied that not hav- inet paid the accounts, they ha,d nee theng further to do with ,them and COnsequently the onlyj course for them to pursue was to ',return; them where • they belonged, which. ;they Oid. If the trailway choseto make improper expenditures of their own meney thee was their affair. So long as the Government properly scrutine ized .the payments for which theie eau:etre' is responsible, and did met permit any „improper payments on this aceount, this is all that is required or them. This view was ttaken by the majority, and so another Opposition scencial vanished into tbin air. The Oprosition would fate better in the lone in if they would. leave the ecendal business alone untn they got a real scandal to work on. This call- ir g of Wolf, Wolf, when there is tr., Wolf, only wastes time and serves to discredit them in the country. The Government measure for the fmilitating of the settlement of dif- _Oa-allies between employers and em- poneed, has been finally passed both in the Cormnone and. the Senate. It waa mare eva.rml,y. received in the letter body than in the farmer, and -was commended by membe_re On beth sites. Sir Mackenzie 13oweII said he hes given a good deal of attention to the measure and he (noticed that it reae 'not entirely satisfactory to either tee employers or the employeee, and ti' took from this that it most be a eery_ fair measure and equita,ole to c coh. Several members of the Senate et :rated that it did not go further and provide for compulsory areitra- t:on. This would ,s-emn the\ indicate the old fellows are lisecernine sere pregreegive and democratic in tem ir ideas than their brethren of the Commons.

On the 19th of February, 1857, Mr. and Mrs. Lakhlin McNeil were married at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lemont, - in this township, the ceremony being performed by the •Rev. Matthew Barr, of Harpurhey. Mr. McNeil was a nat- ive of the township of Dalhousiee in the; county of Lanark, and settled on the 14th concession of Grey, in 1858. Four years thereafter he was mar- ried to his present worthy life part- ner, who was than Miss Sarah Lamont, daughter of Mr. John .Lamont, of the 7th concession. Mr. McNeil had to travel on Met from his home in Grey to Clinton, to procure the necessary license, and which then coot $af On his return trip he called on ths, Rev Mr. Barr, of Haapurhey, who is netill living; out very frail, and arranged with hire to come to Grey and; 'per- form the, marriage Ceremony. This ne, did on the leth of February, mak- ing the journey on horseback, as 'there were no 'buggies in those days and no roads for them, to go on. Mr. John _Lamont, a brother of the bride, who !still -resides on the old homestead, was groomsman and Miss McNeil, 'the sister of the 'groom, who is now lefra. Logan, was the bridesmaid. Mrs. Lo- gan is now a resident of Montana, but is visiting in Grey at the present tine. After the ceremony and accus- tomed festivities the happy bride and groom were driven to their home in an ox sleigh. The home then was a small, hewed log shanty and there wala only a, clearance of a few acres on the farm. But from that modest beginning Mr. and Mrs. 1 McNeil have lived to have a fine homestead of three hundred acres of as fine and fertile land as ;there is in Canada and the log shanty has long been -re- placed by a handsome and commodious brick residence. Mr. McNeil is now his 75th year and his worthy wife Ii 70 years of ag-e but both are still hale and hearty and enjoying good health and it is the fervent wieh of their boats of friends that they may atilt be spared to each other for sev- eral years to come.
