Tin recent storm did a vast amount
of damage to the crops in some parts
of Western Ontario. Reports say
that the crops in some places were very
•seriously injured and: buildings struck

TIE nomination of candidates for
tithe representation of the County of
,•Argentical in the Domiuioll Parliament
'will.take place on the 6th ci August,
and'the•voting.on the 13th of August.
•It is understood that Mr, Abbott and
Dr. Christie, will be the candidates..
AT TmE.meeting of the .Liberal Con-
servatives -of . West ,Peterboro on Tues
,day last, held kr -the purposeof select-
ki ng a candidate to represent them
stead of the late Mr. Scott,, Mr: Kin-
•caid was unanimously nominated, who
will no doubt be elected by acclama-
tion, as. the Reformers do notwish to
carry the election to contest.
A CoxsEWvATWE picnic vvillbe -held
'in Sorel, Eastern Towns113ps, on •the
4th of August, being the•occasion of
the inauguration of the works : on the•
River Yee -mike, Addresses will be-
-delivered by .Sir Hector Langevin,
Hon. Messrs. •Caron, Mousseau and a
number of .others. A. grand time is
'expected, without .the. assistance of
'brass bands to "draw the crowd,'`
SINCE our last issue the President
has had a_relapse and uedergoue ;a sur
giea1 operation, • For a few days a great
deal of anxiety was manifested as .to
the cond'ition,of the patient, but. these
.fears have been ,driven- away, ,his coli
clition .being 'very 'much ••iinproved.
At last reports he.•is .in a very . favora-
.b1e condition alxl .we .hope. that .ere
long we maybe able to chronicle the
fact that he is fully restored to good
• health.. --11Iay our hopes, be realized. .
AT first it- was. ,the wet ,weather
which kept pegple.awav fermi the..l3lake
meetings. -Next it was a. doubt as to.,
which road the Oppositon chief. was
travelling' on, which made the crowd st
,small. But the latest effort of the.
Globe correspondent i is ' that the fine
weather will keep the farmers in the
fields. This.:is sad. We 'are to]$1. that
-when the "fiery cross " went forth
"Tile mower forgot to whet Lis blade, '
The plough was in mid -furrow staid."
But the fiery cross of Canadian.Qppe3si
'-tion has no such power.—Mail.
I•r seems thal the bursting up 'of the
Kaoka enterprise, in St:: Thomas, was
all a farce. The St. Thomas Times first
•:.circulated the report, wihichwas after-
wards copied by the .[Beall, and which
has since proved to be false. The aec-
•retary of the firm has written; to the,
11Lail.to say that the report .is a gross'.
libel, that the company is in as :good
a standing as ever and doing a .good'
business • and that they are adding a
•.fruit canning business ',to their. estab-
lishment. This was•the occasion of an
argument against the N. P. by the Grits,
but at this rateit will .all be knocked
in the head. .it's really too bad they,
cannot.got ,some argument.
Woocsteek .Times.—; to " Heaven-
• born statesman' :who. now runs. the

be as " sensitive as.. •a woman." to the

Tire Finance Minister has had the
satisfaction of annoucinir, in the course
of his addresses in the eastern provinces,
a surplus of $3,000,000. which fact will.
be mostecordially received the intelligent
electors •of the Dominion.
Mit, BLAttE's. tour in the easter prov-
inces has evidently been a total failure.
True, the leading' men of the party did
all in their power to prepare addresses,
engage the services of bands—and this.
was given the best attention—as they
thought thebeat way to dray a crowd
and raise a little excitement. •Any
amount of drinks and irefreshments
were also supplied to make a little en.'
thusiasm, but a@1 be no purpose. • The
people could not see the advisability. of.
Blake coming clown two years before
the general election and besides staying
away wit en he was needed by the party in
the recent bye election', was not very.
satisfactory to them Of' course, Mr.'
Blake knew the reason he.could not be•
present just then, there were some
tithe: important persons in attendance,
whom:lieedid not see- satisfied to meet,
On:the other hand Messrs. Tupper and
Tilley are meeting with a most enthu
-clastic reception, the people are full
aware of the fact that they are work-
ing for the interests of the country, and
have practical ' evidence before them
every day, that the country is prosper-
ing under their finaiicial management.

hance rales dor other grades proved

however, are firm in their demands,
