Clinton' mvgxa FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1890. Canada should very plainly tell Gen• e:ral Middleton that "his usefulness is cone.' Mr Porter, in Lis place in the House, eleciares,in effect, that the farmers are in a fairly prosperous condition, It is evident Mr Porter has not been through his own constituency recently. At a recent meeting of South Huron Conservatives the following significant gentence was part of a resolution pass- aed:- "We look with somewhat of appre- 1iensiori on the large increased public ex- penditure and annually enlarging debt." . The following paragraph appears as man advertisement in the Empire : Mr John Brown, of Toronto, announ ees himself as a candidate for the re• •grresentation in the local Legislature of West Huron as au iudependent Liberal Conservative." This is the your; man who did some stumping for Mr Porter during the last campaign. How much chance he has of getting elected may be gathered from the fact that Conservatives in the 'hiding admit that no local candidate can defeat Hon. Mr Ross. Perhaps John Brown is getting paid for allowing himself to be made a viotiui. The Toronto '1'elegran-., an independ- ent Conservative paper. thus frankly speaks of the lvr .wet Government: — "There is much to admire m the Nfrwat Government. It has been the "oarefnl guardian of provincial property, it has husbanded the resources of the province, and in its expenditures has frequently crossed the boundary line be- tween economy and meanness. On its economic side the administration is un- assailable. Its preference for its own partisans has been a sin against Tories . Nebo are excluded from office rather than an offence against the public interest.— The province has been as well served by Grit officials as it could be by Con- servatives and while existingconditions endure a Government cannot ignore the ward politicians whose activity at elec- tion times prolongs its life." 'The Ontario Legislature closed its final session on Monday. Some of our cotemporaries are under the impression .that the elections must be held in June. 'This is a mistake, as the life of the ,Government does not legally expire un- til January next, and the elections can ebe 'held any time before that date. -They are likely to be early in the fall, and as the Mowat Government has looked after the interests of the Prov• ince with a due regard to economy and for the best interests of the people, it is .-only reasonable that the members there- of should expect a renewal of popular .confidence. They can appeal to the electors with a good record, and are Aikely to meet with public endorsation. Solid Truth. 'This is from the Hamilton Times, and is as true as any statement possibly aceaa be :— The farmers of Canada can vote for 'Sir John Macdonald and protection if they choose,but they are simply cutting rods for their own backs when they do so. The tariff robs them when they •Jerre awake and when they are asleep. It loaves them no margin of profit. `The longer they support it the worse toff they will become. There may he a feeling of sublime satisfaction in the mind of a Conservative at election time when he thinks that he has assisted by his vote to whip the opposite party, but it is dear fun. By voting the other /way, the Conservative farmers could relieve themselves of a load. It is not an encouraging business to work all the year round for the tax -gatherer and the protected Millionaire. It is pretty tough for a man who does his duty in- dustriously to cbme out at the end of the year worse off than at the beginning 'Bot that is just where the protective tariff puts the farmers, and where it will keep them until they get sense enough to remove the prime cause of agricultural depression, the protec- tive tariff which is sapping the vitals of the country." NEWS NOTES. Peel Conservatives have tendered the nomination for the IooaI election to Mr James L. Hughes, of Toronto. The priests of the Toronto diocese, I ave presented Archbishop Walsh with a fine team of bay horses worth $600. EASTER SERVICES, R 0,0,00 St. PAUL'S OnU$QIJt There were the ostial special eer. vices in the church during Holy Week and which had been very well attended, they were a good prepay- alio° fur the Easter service in com- memoration of the triumph of our Savour "who was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification" In harmony with the epirituat joy which came to every Christian when he thinks of the Rt aurection, St. Pauls was i n an• nlversay of the'Day of Days," brigbt with Easter brightness; a profusion of flowers massed around pulpit leclean Funt and Holy table told their tale of life and bei,uty once im- prisoned but now free to gladden rien's eye and hearts. Flowers are beautiful symbols 01 the Resurection, and fitly decorate God's House at the tinge wben the victory of JeausCbrist over death sad the grave is [specially dwelt upon. The Easter offeriug was very good. The music wasexception• ally good !est Sunday evening. The Anthem introduced solos by Mrs Shearer and Mies Kate Reid, duet by Misses Worthiugton and Combe, and did credit to the performers. ANNUAL VESTRY MEETING.—Was held on Monday evening. The churchwardens presented their ac- counts, showing ordinary receipts to be $1,482 72. The accounts were re- ferred to the auditors, H B. Combe H. T. Rance. Masers W. W. Farran and W. Jackson were reappointed churchwardens, and Messrs J. Rana - ford and S. G. Plummer delegates to Synod. The Rector made a state• went of the standing of the church and Sunday school. 'After votes of thanks to the Wardens and the Choir and the appointment of a fivance committee, the Vestry adjourned for three weeks. RATTENBUItY STREET CHURCH. A profusion of blooming plants on the altar platform of Rat. St. Church, on Sunday last, gave it unusual at• tractsoness, while the air was filled with the flagrance thereof; the morn- ing service; by the pastor, Mr Living- stone, had special reference to the resurrection. The Sabbath School exercises took the form of responsive readings by the scholars, interspersed with music. Quartette, Now is Christ Rieu. by Mra Marcy, Mise Ida Boles Messrs Sibley and Bruce. Recitation, The HuMhed Tomb, by Miss Hattie Ru"mball. Recitation. The Victor's State, by Miss Anna Irwin. Recita- tion Nature's Sepulchre is Breaking, gt by Master Henry Mason.

Rumball, Messrs Sibley and Hollo- way. Solo, "Everlasting Love," Mr Sibley. Mr Foster, Superintendent, took up the leadership of the respon- sive readings, while the scholars re- sponded. The services were unusu ally interesting and were participat- ed in by a large number of eed,om. also. The evening service was attendfd. by a very large congregation. Ten' minute addresses were given in the foliowieg order, "The power that raised Christ from the dead"—R. Holmes. "The influence of the re- surrection on faith"—H,Foster. "The benefits which flow from the resurrec- tion"—Dr Williams, "Our duty to our, risen Lord"—Rev. J. Living- stone. These addresses were inter- spersed with music, the following be- ing the pieces, all of which were admirably rendered; --Anthem, "The Lord is risen to day," Choir. Duet taken by Mrs Marcy and Mr Walton. Quartette, "Come Sinners Come," by Mrs Marcy, Miss Gauley, MesarsBruce and Walton. Quartette, "When the King comes in," Misses Rumball and Stevenson, Messrs Doherty and Jones. Duet, "Holiness," Messrs Squires and Walton. Quartette with obligato, "The tired sinner," byMisses Wilson and Rumball,Messrs Doherty and Holloway. ONTARIO STREET CHURCH. The altar of this church was pro• fusely decorated with flowers and plants on Sunday last, all of which made it look very lovely and attrac- tive. Tho sermon in the morning was ou "The vacant Tomb" and was an able exposition by the pastor. In the evening the services were out of the ordinary, and were particulary in- teresting. After the customary open- ing exercises the rite of baptism was administered, and the pastor then called upon Mr Lewis Trouse for a short address, which be gave on "The Historical Facts of the resarrection;" this was the first time the young man had taken a service of this nat- ure and he did remarkably well. Mr Thos. Diamond then gave an address on "The facts of Christ's death," pointing out the reality of that cir• cumstance, and its influence on the world; his address contained a lot of good matter. Mr D. Tiplady dealt with "The benefits of the resurrec- tion', taking it as the basis of church organization and subsequent develop- ment. The choir rendered excellent music between the addresses, singing "Great and marvellous," from Henry Farmer's celebrated mass, "The Sav- iour lraweth nigh," a chorus anthem "Morning breaks upon the tomb" and "Jesus bath risen" Quartette, Miss Walker and Messrs Harland, Foster and Say "Christ arise" The services throughout were interesting and impressive, and were appreciated by the large audience. TOWNCOUNCIL. The Conservatives of East Simcoe leave put Mr Andrew Misoampbell, of Midland in the field against Hon. Charles Drury. Mr W. M. Daol-, M. P. P„ was again chosen by the Centre Bruce Liberals on Wednesday, to carry the standard in the Ontario elections. Seventy-five per cent. of the whole crop in many counties in Texas has been destroyed by insects. One of these creatures is similar to the North- ern chinch bug and the other is the .common lady bug.

Reeve McMurchie called attention to the fact that only part of the livery and billiard license fees for last year had been paid; be admitted that the members of last year's council had been negligent in not seeing that the full amount had been coL'ec.ed from each licensee, and tt.e inspector was instructed to collect amounts still in arrears It was decided to make no change iu the Customs office the rent thereof being $36 per year, and the room in the Grand Union offered being $50 a year and taxes. Mr Manning moved and Mr Mc- Murchie,secoudqtl that the sum of $10 be paid Mr Corbett for his services as assessor for the time that he had been in office, this sum to be without any prejudice to any subsequent pro- ceedings that might be instituted. Mr Manning said ho had no confer- ence with Mr Corbett concerning it, but he thohght it only fair that he should receive some coinpeneatinn for what work had been done by him; he reeve endorsed this view. Mr Corbett thought the amount should be 815 as he had gone to some ex- pense, and if this sum was paid he would guarantee to take no further proceeding+ The council carried the moti"n as it stood. Sir Forrester tendered his resignation as Civil En- eineer for the town, but it was not accepted for &'the time being. Mr Searle called attention to some inju- dicious expenditures for charity, and thought all such should be done by the Charity Committee. The, Whitely Case. The defendant acquitted. The trial of this case was resumed at Goderich last Friday morning. The evidence, as already given in these columns at the preliminary examina- tion, was gone over again and nothing new elecited. For the prosecution a couple of additional witnesses were called, but their evidence was unim- portant. The defence rested their case largely on the evidence of the medical men, who had already testified before the coroner, and on that of Thos Death - man, the clerk employed at Worthing- ton's at the time Miss Johnstonolaimed to have bought the arsenic, who denied having sold any at that time. Miss Johnston was subject to a very rigid cross-examination, which she bore well and without much alteration to her evidence. But the weak part of it apparently to the jury,washer presence and silence at the time the poison was alleged to be administered. Mr Cameron, in his address to the jury, laid much stress on the presumed unreliability of the testimony of Minnie Johnston, and said that if her own statement was true, they would be told by the Judge was an accomplice in the crime, and on her uncorroborated testi: mony they would not be justified in finding a verdict of guilty. In was in- conceivable that a woman of the prison- er's intelligence should openly, in the presence of this girl, attempt the crime with which she stood charged. Ott the other hand he advanced the testimony given by Dr Reeve, who for a life -time had practised his profession in the county, and who had unequivocally ex- pressed his full belief that yellow atrophy of the liver and not poisoning was the cause of Whitely's death, and the ailment he suffered horn previous to his death. He concluded an eloquent appeal for the release of the prisoner to rejoin her present husband, who was anxiously watching the result of the trial in the Court, and to her son of tender years. Mr E. J. B. Johnston, for the Crown, stated the eatisfaction he felt that the defence of such an important case should have fallen to one so able as Mr Cameron. He then proceeded in a tem- perate but very forcible manner to show the strong points of the Crown and the weakness of the theory of the defence. His Lordship's summing up was a most careful review of the testimony given, and was pointed as to the great care that must be taken in weighing the evidence of the principal witness,Minnie Johnston, upon whose testimony the Crown mainly relied, which, as she was by own statement an accomplice in the crime charged, must be most amply corroborated. On the whole,the charge was very favorable to the prisoner. The jury after a brief retirement re- turned to the court room with a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner, who dur- 'ng the progress of the trial had betray- ed little emotion or interest in the pro- ceedings, was completely overcome, and had to be assisted into an adjacent room by her present husband, Mr Edwards, and other friends. Mrs Edwards ih now visiting friend in this vicinity. A. letter received from Hudson's Bay in the -Athabaska district says great distress existed among the Indians near Lesser Slave Lake during the winter, and in some oases the redskins killed and ate their own ohildren, and dogs and all kinds of domestic animals were used for food,from whioh many Indians died. Mrs Burchell, accompanied by her father, Mr David Stevenson, and her sister, Mrs WestJones, left the Fella on the 7.45 a.m.train on Monday for Wood- stock. Mrs Burohell and her sister will remain at Woodstock until after the trial of her husband, Mr Stevenson her father to New York, from where he will sail on the White Star Line steamship Germania for England. The Kincardine Reporter thus allud- es to a son of Mr W. Hiles, of Londes- boro:—On another page will be found a lengthy letter from Mr John Hiles, clerk of Kincardine nehip. The duties of the clerk 4M, rural munici- pality are onerous and very responsible It is impossible for any man, no matter what his literary ability may be, to be an efficient clerk off -band. Mr Hiles does not require a certificate of corn - potency from us ho would have no right to thank us for such. Still, knowing him as we do, and having some knowledge of h s work and in what shapa.he executes it, we are bound to say he carefully guards the interests of the ratepayers insofar as such per- tains to his office, and be possestes all the qualities which go to make up a first•olaas township clerk. We will grant that there may be as good muni- cipal clerk, in the province, but there are none better. STREET COMMITTEE'S REPORT.

What brings you here so often, if it was curiosity, the first or second night would suffice, bat you come every night, which is a proof that the lecturer is web worth listening to. Mr Patrick Matthews, son of James Matthews, of McKillop, who left for Michigan last fall, is novel running a lumber d. camp fur Haley & Covertt, of Rev. T. W. Illegally, rector of St. James' Episcopal Church, St. Marys, died at 11 o'clock Friday morning of inflammation of the bowels. The de- ceased was formerly rector of Seaforth, and had only removed to St. Marys on the fl-st of March last. Mr Wm. Bothe has resigned his seat as councillor iu East Wawanosh, to which he was elected last January. He has sold his property and is leaving the township. This causes another election, and the nomination will be held on Sat- urday, 12th inst. The other night, Mr Thomas Shute of Usborne, when about to enter the door of Mr Wm. Balman,he wassevere- ly bitten by the watch -dog. The dog sprang suddenly from ilia opened door and evidently mistook the visitor, as it knew Mr Shute quite well. Mr Benjamin Philips has purchased from Mr John Reith, of Hensall, the old Reith homestead farm, on the 2ud concession of Hay, for 15,500. This farm contains 100 acres, has good build- ings and is one of the choicest farms in the township. It was purchased a little over a year ago for $6,500. There died in Osborne on the 1st inst., a well known and much respect- ed resident of that township, in the person of Mr Andrew Campbell. He has been ill for some years of catarrh of the stomach, which supplemented by an attack of la grippe, caused his death. He was aged 45 years. Mr James Westcott, of Exeter, has made an assignment of his goods and chattels for the benefit of his creditors, and has gone to California lwe under- stand. He sold his 50 acre farm in Osborne, to Mr George Fisher some time ago for 12,400, Mr Fisher assum- ing the mortgages. A thoroughbred Jersey cow belong- ing to Mr John Hannah, of Tucker - smith, has a particularly good milk record. During the past season she gave milk for nine and sr half months, and during that time she gave 4,800 lbs. of milk, and fifteen and a half pounds of milk produced a pound of butter, She thus produced 320 lbs. of butter, which at au average price of 17 cents per pound would make the yield of the cow in cash $54 for the season, besides the skim milk which would be worth a considerable sum. She only received the same feed and care as Mr Hannah's other cows. East Huron License Commissioners met at the Central Hotel, Brussels, on Friday, to deal with the applications for hotel licenses for the incoming lic- ense year. There are 26 applications in this riding, same number as last year. The new applications for license for hotels not holding license last year are Isaac Gill, of Ethel and Geo. ZiUiax Henfryn. A great deal has been said of late about the Ontario Government and their officials showing favor to their friends in the question of license. In East Huron out of the 26 applicants but 5 are Reformers. Two hotels lic- ensed last year were burned during the year and not rebuilt,•hence the number of applicants are the same as in 1889. There are no applicatione for shop lic- ense in the Riding. A correspondent at the Nile says;— Some excitement and a good deal of amusement was caused here by a case in which bailiff John Knox seized some property belonging to Robert Mullin, the well known hotel ikeeper and placed it in charge of our village blacksmith, Mr Grummett was evidently not "up to snuff," and while away at tea Mullin took French leave with the property, a horse and buggy, and when the deputy bailiff got back his charge was gone. What will be the outcome remains to be seen. Mullin, jt,is understood, goes back to farming. iii 'which we hope he will be more successful than in hotel keeping. He has a successor here, but without wishing any special harm, we hope his experience may not be any more profitable. We do not need the business here at all, and public senti- ment in this section is against it. twv "! vlr rtzt ;r Sj,prthorf,t Butt for Sale.
