'The lord of klealth has been Mr, George Cooke for selling ta.,'Ir and butter froni a cow • that :• incurable • diaease." Mr. •aa says they may be after hfin fk ioiug this but will nut be able •edioll ,for so doing, for the simple reason that ho has done nothing of the kind. It seems he lns Iwo cows, He sold the produet. orlit one which was perfectly herdj.hy. We cheerfully give Mr. Cook's denial of a charge which he con,,iders a reflection on his good name. Two PREM IERS.—Iion.Jobn Rob- son is now premier of the British Columbia legislature and Hon. John Robson Canieron is preinier of the editorial departtnent of the Hamilton Speeteteor. The former was at one time a resident of Bay- field, this county, and while there married a daughter of the late John Lori:worth, of Goderich. The following, froin the Spec is wrong in the matter of tho rescue from jail. Chief Justice Begbie made IkIr. Petison come to time, though pope- yrnpathy was with the editor. Mr. Robson's offence was, if we re- member rightly, contempt of court, "There has been a nowdeal in the British Columbia legislature, and Hon. Johu Robson, late provincial secretary and minister of agriculture and mines, is now premier. Mr. Robson went to British Columbia from Bayfield, Ontario, thiriy years ago, and began the Tublicotion of the lirst newspaper • printed'in that colony--sthe British Columbian, at Now Westminster. Ho was 'down on the government of the day, and pitched into the ministers in such a lively manner as to induce them to put him in jail, charged with libel. The bone and sinew of the country assembled, unlocked the jail with axes, took the editor out and car- ried him triumphantly about the town. Nits Robson has been a pro- minent figure in British Columbia politics over since. Readersof this „ joinnal will know . that British Colure'bia has a premier whose ability is of the first order, and ,w hose integrity is beyond reproach whorl they aro told that ML Robson is an uncle of John Robson Cam- eron, of the Spreta.tor." man who is as conscientious and faithful to his trust as is Mr. Craig is one of the many popular delu- sions indulged in by those who think that labor consists only in the exercise of brawn, forgetful of the fact that mental labor taxes both brawn and brain. We believe Mr., Craig has taken a trip up the lakes, and • we hope that reatjand the in- halation of fresh_orssme bearing the vigorizing arona of the• great unsalt ed seas will conduce to rebuilding up a system somewhat run clown by too close attention to work. LEAVES FOR FODDER.—Farmer Sawyer, of Connecticut, had quite an experience last winter with his cattle. • Ills stock of hay ran out, and being unable to get more in time he gave the cows some of the dry loaves ho had collected for bed- ding, and he was surprised to see that they appeared to enjoy them. The leaves went so well that he conclnded that he wouldn't get any more hay for a while, and, in fact, leaves were the only thing that the six cows, and two horses lived on during the last half of the, winter. While eating hay the cows had given twenty quarts of milk weekly, yielding five. .pounds of butter. After being put on -the diet of leaves the quantity and quality of the milk increased until they gave fifteen 'quarts of milk, yielding seven pounds of butter,. Mr. Sawyer in- tends to use nothing'but leaves dur- Ing the winter hereafter, as the leaves can be had for the trouble of collecting them, and are bettor than costly hay or grain. MA.RRIAGE AT GODERICH.--WO were much pleased on receiving an invitation to be present last week at the wedding of Miss Emma Cox, daughter of Ir. George Cox, to Rev. Hamilton Wigle, of Leaming- ton, Ont. The pleasing ceremon Was performed by the Rev. Mt Richardson, in the North stree Methodist church, Goderich, o Tuesday, 6th inst. •The bride ii maiden blOonn fair and goutle, was attired in a gracefully flowing robe of white, void of .superfluous orna- ment, chaste as the spotless purity of the throbbing heart beneath. The bridesmaids were Miss Frances McLean and Mies Annie Downing; the former neatly, arrayed in a cream colored gaiindnt, the latter in one of more demure shade, approaching a light terra cotta tint. The grooms- men were Rev. Mr. Langford, of London, brother-in-la,v of the groom, and Mr. W. 1). Cox, of Chicago, brother of the bride. There were several hundred present in the church to witness the interesting event. One hundred, or more, as- sembled at the residence of the bride's parents and partook of the lavish hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Cox and wished the newly wedded pair alt manner of marital bliss. Some of the younger ones, doubtless, dreamily indulging in the love of life's young day which still travels on the way and may overtake,,thern in its wandering. The presents were handsome and numerous, and sure we are that a more deserving recipi- ent of such kindly tendered souve- nirs has seldom plighted her troth to favored man. May this wedded life of thine contaiu the best of all that's not divine, and as much of that essence as possible. The happy couple took the four o'clock trai for the oast and will bring up an domicile themselves at Loamingto Apart from the claims of intim friendship we shall make free congratulate Mr, and Mrs. Cox having the destinies of their dau tor in the hands of a young gent man of such excellent parts a promise, for Mr. Cox is the olde t• member of the- art preeorvativo i •the county, having followe1 it for over forty years in Ooderieh, an4 he deserves to have a form ho has taken pr'ide in making np make a good impression. to '!"••• , . fIL14.

STRAINED RELATIONS..—The other day Mr, 'W. Doherty was driving a spirited horse just outside the town when the relations between the driver and the animal became some- what strained. So strained that they parted company, Mr. Doherty and his young son being spilled out of the buggy, the horse striking out for the town at a go -as -you - please, gait, leaving the buggy as well as the occupants behind.

He was calm to the last, and maintained his innocence. Bryson was hanged for the mut der of Annie Lindstrom in 1888. The woman was hie mis- tress. She had a few hundred dollars, which Bryson squandered. It is supposed he then tired of her and killed her to get rid of her.

DorMa THE COUNTRY AND TOWNS. -- 'Last. week an excursion Party of • oung people from Strathroy took .many of the sights in Huron, Lopping at Bayfield Clinton and ' other places. They were driving and seemed to enjoy old Huron's breezes immensely. While in town they • were the guests of Miss Buchanan. WEEK before last the Rist pub- lished two bogus birth notices, and the alleged parents are on the war path, possibly to snatch ye editor bald headed. It is best not to publish birth or marriage notices except such'are furnished by inter- ested parties. We consider if they do not think worth while to send such to the editor they ate not worth publishing. BASE BALL MATO1L—On Wed- nesday last a game of base ball was played on the agricultural grotnads between theClinton team and a pick- ed n ine from Ving.ha m,Belgravo an d vicinity, and was Ivo n•by•the unions by al score of 20 to 12. The game was rather rocky at first, but was redeemed by sharp:)cleau playing in thea last innings. Both pitched did 'excellent work. McTaggart, of Clinton, pitched. a steady game and was finely supported , behindthe bat by Quigly, Duffield of Wing - ham, also pitched effectively, but Mooney gave him rather poor sup port. The brilliant feature of the retie however was the umpiring by Mr. • Sterling of Belgrave. It was Jim rankest umpiringever seen—wo ron't say in Cliuton, but --on the ice of the earth. rt is claimed ho id his best: this we won't deny but ertainly he shonld have retired ind lot a man who had the abiliti tnpire the game. The Clintod. team certainly suffered far more than their opponents by his rank decisions. "Kicking" was indulged in freely and indeed so rotten Was his work that the spectators hooted jeered and laughed at him till they wore tired: such a scene was never before witnessed on a Clinton base ball ground. There seemed to be nu ill -feeling, however, after the game was over.—Com. EQUAL RIGHTS.—A meeting in the interest of the Equal Rights movement was held in the council chamber on Monday, evening. On motion Mr. J. C. Stevenson ' took the chair and briefly stated the object of the meeting.

It was pointed out that these were the doolared principles of the Equal Rights Association," formed in Toronto in Juno last, and an explanation was given of the steps necessary to be taken in order to the organization of a branch of that association in the town, a course which was suggested as advisable.

RIGHTS RESERVED FOR MEN.— A Pennaylvania editor answers a correspondent who propounds the the query, "Did you ever see a baldheaded woman 1" in the follow- ing strain:—"No we never did.' Nor did we ever see a woman walt- zing around town in her shirt sloevee with a cigar between her teeth. 'We never saw n woman go fishing with a bottle in hor hip pocket, sit around on the damp ground all day and go home 'boozed' in:the evening. Neither have we seen a woman yank off her coat, spit on hor hands, and swear she could whip any man in town.
