Green, Gerrie, died last eek With consumption. Leat Monday, Wm. Kelly, of Morri , left Hrussele on a trip to Ireland, West Huron Fall Show will be hel at Goderich, on Sept 20, 21 and 22. H. W. C. Meyer, of Wingham, arrived Safely • at Hamburg, Germany, on the 10th Of May. .9, baby belonging to H. Finn, Bruseels, was serionely burned laet week by falling from a chair against the stove. Last' Monday evening a large company, '° numbering over 150, assembled at the com- modious residence of Mr. John Mooney, Morris, to celebrate the 25th anniversay of Mr. and Mre. Mooney's wedding. Mr. John Hannah, of the Seaforth Cream- ery, has received from the Ontario Creamery Association the diploma and medal awarded at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, for butter exhibited there from the Seaforth Creamery. On Wednesday last, Win. Armour brought to Wingham, a wagon load of 2,100 dozen eggs, whibh he had gathered during the first three days of the week. This is undoubtedly the largest number of hen fruit that has ever Come to town. ' Mr. A. W. Sloan, whose farm adjoins the village of Blyth, has purchased the farm of Mr, ML Boyd of East )Vawanosb, on the op -- Pointe side ofthe road from his own. ' This farm contains 75 acres, and was purchased for $5,000. Mr. Sloan now has one of the finest farms in the county and it contains 250 acres. Last week some mean spirited wretch shaved the -mane and tail of a mare belonging to Mr. Wm Cash, of McKillop. The outrage is all the more dastardly in view of the fact that Mr. Cash is at present in Algoma. No reason can be assigned for the small act, es• cept it be that Mr. Cash belongs to the Board of License Commissioners. The* many friends of 'Mrs. Wm. Lee, of Wroxeter, will be pained to learn of the death of that lady on Thursday last. Mr. Lee has been enjoying good health until about three hours before hel• death, when by the bursting of a blood vessel She was called to ther last long resting home, from which no traveller returns. Deceased was a daughter of the lafe-John -R'obinl;bn;'`enda-sister of Mrs. T. Bowers, and was a resident of Wingham for a number of' years. • Parliamentary Notes. The Government had 19 majority in the vote on the Queen's County election case on Wednesday night. Mr. Masson has presented a petition from the Presbyterian Synocle of Toronto and King. ton protesting against the proposal to exempt wine and beer from the operation of the Scott dot, and praying that the Act may not be weakened in its restrictive provisions. Mr. Guillet and Mr. Hudspeth on Thurs. day presented petitions from the Corporations of Cobourg and Lindeay reciting that the Scott Act had been the means of seriously impairing the municipal revenues and had not produced the results anticipated by its promoters, and should be repealed by Parliament. Mr. Charlton has presented a petition from - the Presbyterian General Assembly of Canada asking for the improvement of the laws for the punishment and prevention of crimes ,h,.agaiust women. The Assembly, through their:petition, call attention. to the anomaly in the law which protects young women of property or expectations from abduction, by Making the offence a felony, pnniehable by fourteen years' - imprisonment, but leaves their less fortunate sisters to their fate,except when aotual force has been used. They re• oommend the adoption of the law lately enacted bythe Imperial Parliament,with such modifications and extensions as may be deem• ed necessary. According to returns received by •the De- partment of Agriculture, the total arrivals of 1 immigrants in the Dominion from January 11. 1887, to April 30th last were 30,864 as com- pared with only 22,723 in the corresponding I period oflast year.. Of the total 17,609 settl- ed in -the Dominion. The settlers locating in the Ncrth west this spring have been mainly` from Great Britain. The arrivals, however, include a number of Seandinavians, as a re- sult of the favorable representations made by relatives who Fettled in Manitoba and the North.weet.last--year. The officials of the Department are of opinion that the tide of Scandinavian immigration which has set in will increase. A return in answer to a motion by Mr. Gordon. shows that from ,January 1Itb,1886, to March 31st, 1887, there arrived 797 Chin. sea at different ports of the Dominion. At Victoria, B. C., 787 ; at Montreal, -1 ; at Em- erson, 1 ; and at Port Arthur, 8. The amount of duty collected was $6,350. The amount paid to British Columbia under the Chinese Restriction Act during the same pe- riod was $2,525. The number of Chinese entered under return certificates was 246, and there entered as students men of science or travellers;. 424 Chinese. The cost of admin ietering the Chinese Restriction Act for the fiscal year was $162,926. Sir Charles Tapper, Minister of Finance, in an interview concerning the protest of the , British manufacturers against the Canadian from dutiee,said:-No further changes will be made despite the representations made by the Colonial Secretary. A similar •protest was made in 1879 when the tariff resolntions went into effect but it was only temporary, because the English manufacturers soon discovered that the changes simply tended to increase Canada's prosperity without affecting the imports from Great Britain. The result will prove the same in the present in- stance. Oar trade relations with England will if anything be strengthened, while the impetus to be given to our riob etore of iron and coal will go a long way toward building up a powerful British- nationality in this country. The Toronto World . stated on Wednesday that Hon. Edward Blake was positively going to retire from public life on account of ill. health, and the Globe contradicts this as fol- lows :-"The cireumetantial story of Mr. Blake's intention to resign the Liberal leader- ship at the close of the session, as published in several Tory organs of to day, creates a good deal of amusement here. The report was deliberately concocted out of whole cloth for the purpose of a morning sensation and its value is estimated accordingly. The Lib- erals in the House are entirely satisfied with the present arrangement by which the man- agement of the Opposition is directed by the advieary committee, and Mr. Blake does not seek nor would' not ho be permitted to retire from th e position of supreme control which Aa he now holds with the most hearty approval of every member of the party. • • Henry Chap6eld, a Brooklyn merchant, died on Sunday from the effects of the lodgment ofan orange seed in his intestines. He had been ill for several weeks with in- flammation of the intestines, followed by ulceration, and a mediad• operation waw 111‘' performed as a last resort. The patient, however, was unable to rally from the shock. NEWS NOTES. Gaudaur defeated Haulan in the race on Calumet Lake near Chicago, on Monday. A steamer with 750 persona on board was caught in a cyclone near Calcutta and is missing. Mr. L. L. Lewis, school teacher, of Wyoming,has been fined $5.50 for illtreat- ing one of this pupils, A Chatham doctor has been committed on the charge of causing the death of a girl' Ruth Harlow, by abortion. There was a,disastrous explosion in the Udston coal pit at Blantyre. near Glasgow on Saturday, 200 men were lost. On Saturday the Oshawa Farmers' Club declared io favor of the removal of all trade restrictions between Canada and the Unit- ed States. A six-year-old son of Mr. George T. Walker, G,T,R, engineer, St. Thomas, was indulging in the pleasures of a swing on Monday. A meat hook in the shed roof attracted his attention, and as he flew to- wards the hook he tried to see if he could touch it. The fleshy part of the right hand caught in the hook and pulled him' from the awing, and he hung in midair by the band until his cries brought relief. He was taken to a doctor's.

In the Record this week, The Great Uash Man, alias The Poor Man's Friend, l says, this ends our say. CHEAPSIDE says AmAmen Amen, Aen, Brother. --If you had attended to your T - own busiaes'sa(as the other merchant done,) in the first instance, it might have been more to your credit now, as you forced "C HEAPS tDE" into a contest, who was very much opposed going into, but had to do, as this Great Cash Man; ever since he 'opened out, has always been harping to hold himself up as Tho Poor Man's Friend. Cheapside says he is, if not more so, as intelligent as this Great Cash man. Cheapside would ask the public, who drew this unfortunate family before the people in the first place: why this.Great Cash Man alias the Poor Man's Friend., who only sells for cash, "WHAT," CASH, (no Credit, no:) He, fellow citizens, drew them up Co Goderich in the first place, (lost the suit) t'len had their household effects drawn up town and sold. As regards the privilege of ad- vertising your goods, Cheapside was not aware that he was the means of hinder- ing The Great Cash Ivian advertising to his heart's content, so•long as he paid for it, the Poor printers would be glad. Cheapside will end.. his little say now, and would infortn this Great Gash Man alias The Poor Man's Friend, that he was hero in Clinton clerking for Messra.al'Win & Liodgens over 20 years ago, long before this usurper calling himdelf the Poor Man's Friend was ever heard of.
