murdered and who herself was fright-
fully slashed by the long swords of the
assassins, is now out of danger. Al-

deed.

PROSPECTING.—Mr J. T. Garrow,
the Liberal candidate for West Hur-
on, was in town on Monday, accom•
panied by Col. Rose. Mr Roberts,
the Conservative candidate, was also
in town accompanied by Mr F. W.

making calls upon their expected sup-
porters, and we presume that both
met with kind receptions.

year.
GooD Geowril.—Mr E. Wise,
gardener, of this town, has a grape
vine that is two years old, that he has
raised from the seed. It has been
cut back twice, but is now more than
four feet high. He has it in a pot in
the house in full leaf. He has no
name for it yet, but we suggest that
be call it the "Wise Grape."
A DANGEROUS PASTDAE.—On Sun-
day last a couple of youths, who no
doubt thought they were doing a
smart thing, kicked the bung out and
let the water:out of the barrel that
° stands at the end of the iron railway
bridge near town. Unless they have
more money than brains, they had
better not repeat the experiment, or
they will ha7e to stand a trial. VPe
are informed that scarcely a week
passes without large stones being plac-
ed on the rails,"for fun,"to the danger
Of life and prorerty. If trtsepassers
on the railway property get punished,
they, will have no one to blame but
themselves.
"CATTLE.—Sume really excellent
cattle were shlppod frow here last
week. In Mr McLean's lot were the
following; 15 bead bought of Mr E.

ACOMINa ENTERTAINMENT.—The
concert to be given in the Town Hall
on the evening of the 29th, by the
young people of the Rattenbury, St.

merit. Several vocalists from ad-
joining towns have been engaged to
take part, and in addition will be the
lady whistler, Miss McManis, of In-
dianapolis, of whom the Toronto
Mail says:—
"A very pleasing feature of the
entertainment was furnished by Miss
Laura McManis, a young lady whose
ability as a whistler charmed her
audience, elicited many admiring
comments and much vigotonely giv-
' en applauses. Whistling is evident-
ly becoming popular among the lad-
ies, and may soon be an accomplish-
ment generally possessed. Mies Mc-
Manis trills out her notes with the
facility and sweetness of a canary,
following faithfully the moot difficult
passages in the not simple pieces of
music selected. She was accompani-
ed by her sister on the piano,"

IMPROVING. — The recent heavy
rains have wonderfully improved the
appearance of fall wheat, for in plac-
es where it looked to be killed, it is
now looking splendid. Spring grains
are also coming on well, and at pres-
ent prospects for fruit are good. It
was the frost of May 29 that last year
did the damage.
We are pleased to mention the
names of the following succesful com-
petitors wbo wrote at Clinton in con-
nection %with the Scheme of Higher
Religious Instruction of the Presby-
terian Church;—A. L. Budge, who
took a medal in the senior depart-
ment for an essay; the Misses Ross,
daughters of Mrs J Ross, Brucefield,
who took respectively a medal and
prize in the junor department of his-
tory, and W. H. Anderson, ot Bruce -
field, who took a prize in the same
department.
A PROTEST --Local politicians,
both Conservative and Reform, are
kicking at what they regard as an
unfair arrangement by the head
manager@ of the telegraph companies
concerning reports of the elections, to
to be furnished on the night thereof.
Last year each party paid $15 for
telegraph returns. This year they
are asked $20 each, They admit that
the extra work to be done by opera
tors at a time like election night -
should be reasonably well paid for,
but they do think the amount now,
asked is unreasonable, and the proba-
bilities are that unless some other
arrangement is made by the com-
panies, politicians will go home the
night of the election, sleep the sleep
of the just, and get their political
digest from the papers next morning.
Local Sporting Notes
LACROSSE.
On Monday evening match No. 2 of
the series of games between the town
and Doherty factory lacrosse teams
took place. The last game having
resulted in a draw -0 to 0—it was
thought that this game would be very
exciting, and accordingly a large
number of sportsmen, and also ladies,
were assembled on the grounds.—
Nor were they disappointed, for the
game was intensely interesting. It
resulted again in a draw -0 to 0. The
following were the teams :—

The society has lately purchased a

ell, Toronto, and an excellent supply

Considerable excitement prevailed
in sporting circles on Wednesday,
over a threatened magistrate's case
between the officers ot the Base Ball
Club and the members of the Gun
Club, arising from some misunder-
standing. Each bad retained legal
counsel, but instead of allowing it to
go to trial, wiser counsels prevailed)
and it was referred to Messrs W. Mc-
Gee and A. H. Manning, to settle by
arbitration, they to call in a third
person. The matter will be amicably
arranged, and the same good feeling.
that has been displayed between the
various clubs in town, should prevail
continually.
CRUCRET.—The Victoria Cricket
Club has accepted a challenge from
the Seniors of Exeter, to play a match
at that place, on the 29th of May,
A . Iq curtain section of this county,
the Eq,ual Bi bts party were Very,
0404 lsl. i?u .n end n
l ld, anti after duo consideration
they decided, upon tendering the`
nomination to one arbour we wo will
.call Mr Blank. Hy naturally Belt
honored that his name shouldltave,
beefy selected;` barthe factry that he
was an officer of the Reform Associa-
tion in the Riding, the editor of a
recognized Reform paper, and in uo
way'desireus of nomination, or in sym-
pathy with the movement, prevented
his acceptance thereof.' "We are not
at liberty to divulge his name.
Mr Musgrove, the Conservative
candidate for East Huron, was once
called in to attend a school examina-
tion at Wingham. One of the echol-
are failed to pass a certain examina-
tion, and at its close the father of the
unfortunate scholar came up to Mr
Musgrove and said:—"Well, if my
boy failed to day, he will pass yet,
for I am determined that be shall
mow up to be a second Edward
Blake." Tbat "boy" is the Conser-
vative candidate in South Huron at
the present election, J. G. Holmes,
and as Musgrove tells the story him-
self, it hae an intereet in being re-
counted at the present time.
Prior to the last local election, it
wad generally understood among the
Conservatives of South Huron that
Dr Coleman, of Seaforth, would be
their candidate. He was regarded by
the rank -and -file of the party 'as the
coming man, and it is said thathe
spent several hundred dollars in look-
ing atter the revision of the voters'
lists, and other preliminary work.
When a convention was held to
nominate a candidate he was selected,
but was afterwards unceremoniously
thrown overboard, and Mr Swener-
ton, of Exeter, taken up. Naturally
enough this action not only caused
the Conservatives the lose of Mr
Coleman's vote and support, but it is
currently stated that other equally
prominent Conservatives helped in
that election to swell Mr Bishop's
majority.
It is singular bow an odd name,
given to an individual, will some-
times stick. In West Wawanosh
there resides a well-to-do Conservative
farmer, who is known by the some-
what peculiar cognomen of "Steel -
rails Johnston." The wav he got
the name is as follows :—In 1877 a
monster Reform demonstration was
held in Clinton, at which the Hon. A.
Mackenzie, then Premier, was one of
the speakers. While he was detail-
ing the purchase of a quantity of steel
rails, then lying on the north shore,
for the line of the C P.R., and de-
fending himself from the charge of
the Conservative press, Johnston in-
terrupted him with the remark,
"They're all rusting and you had to
buy thousands of dollars worth of
paint to cover them." The extrava-
gance of Johnston's figures caught
the crowd with laughter, and he was
allowed to go to the platform to ex-
plain himself, which he attempted to
do. Some one in the crowd called
out "Steel.rail Johnston, sit down,"
and to this day the name has stuck
to him.
THE INSIDE FACTS.—A week or
two ago the Conservatiyes of South
Huron met in convention at Aensall.
The report thereof that appeared in
the Empire next day, conveyed the
idea that the meeting was a most un-
animous one and that the selection
of Mr J. G. Holmes, of Toronto. as
standard bearer, was at the urgent re-
quest of the couvention. We are as•
sured on the best of authority that
this is not strictly true. The nomina-
tion was first offered to every promin-
ent Conservative in theridiog. Point
blank and emphatically they refused
to be sacrificed. One prominent
Conservative told the convention,fur-
ther, so we are assured, that be
thought the best thing they could do
was to snow over Mr Meredith, and
when asked what he meant, be said
that he did not approve of all he was
doing, and be should be got rid of.
Another person was offered a purse of
$500 cash, if he would run, but he de-
clined. The convention then wanted
to postpone their nomination until
after the Liberals had selected their
candidate, but,Mr Birmingham took
forcible possession of the meeting and
said "Thii'S convention connot be
postponed, it must select a candidate,
and if a local man can not be brought
out, you must take Holmes." And
this is the recommendation that Mr
Birmingham gave him. "He is
eager for nomination, has plentyof
wealth, comes here to win, and you
will find him a second Montague, for
he knows how to work along the side-
lines." These particulars were public-
ly stated at Hernial!, on Tuesday, on
the authority of a delegate to the
Conservative convention.
Local Church Chimes.
Rev. W. Cosens, of Seaforth, occu-
pied the pulpit of Ontario St. Church
on Sunday morning, and was well
liked.

of an address given by Rev J. Edge,

At the quarterly meeting of the
Official Board of the Glencoe Meth-
odist Church, held the other night,
a resolution to invite the Rev. W. H.
Butt, son of Mr Joseph Butt, Base
Line, back to Glencoe circuit for an
other year was unanimously carried
We have the pleasure bf announc-
ing that one of the successful gradu-
ates of the Chicago College of Science
in the 1'h. B. course, is Rev E. Medd,
of Iona, son of the late Henry Medd,
of Hullett. This is all the more cred-
itable to Mr Medd when it is known
that most of his studies have been
done while he has •also• been doing
circuit work, and it is well known
that the latter has not been neglected.
The General conference of the
Methodist church of Canada will be
held in Montreal in St. James Church
opening Wednesday, Sept. 10 next.
This conference meets once every
four years, and is the legislative body
of the church, being composed of an
equal number of representative min-
isters and laymen. Some inepertant
matters will come up at the &infer-
ence, the question of college federa-
tion will be threshed out again, and
the proposition to lengthen the min-
ister's stay on a circuit will he discuss-
ed and legislated upon. This will be
the second General Conference held
since the union and the second held
in Mon'rral, it having been held
twelve years ago in Dominion Square
Church.
