William Johnstooe, aged 30, was drowned near Delaware, Oat., Sun- day moruiog while bathing. A sleeping man was decapitated by the G.T. It. express lSlonday morning near Ballantyne'e Station. The body found in the Niagara River below the talcs has been iden- tified as that of Charles Oberst, Buf- falo. Near Milwaukee, Wis., a girl, in a struggle to obtain a revolver which her druuken father was flourishing, shot him accidentally. Sybilla Liesner, a girl of 18 years living in Mildmay, went in bathing near Port Elgin, Monday, with another girl, and was drowned. Early Sunday morning at Vest Superior, Wis., Jos Hopkins and Chas. Smith, burglars, were shot by (.eo. L. Hicks. They will probobly die. Chester Hoskin, of Niagara, a 80 year-old inmate of St Catharines In- dustrial Home, fell from a high window Monday morning, and was killed. At Port Robinson Monday morning early Mr James McCoffen was beaten almost to death by burglars, and small hopes are entertained of his recovery. Some unknown miscreant entered the stable of Mr Edward Phillips, teamster, of London, the cther even- i,sg and cut the tongue nearly out of his horse's mouth. Oh Thursday last a two-year-old child strayed from the field in which her father and mother were working, about ten miles north of Stirling, in Rawdon Township, and has not been found. The temperence workers of Halton County have resolved to enter on a campaign to place the County under the operation of the local option pro• visions of the license law as amended at the last session of the Ontario Leg- islature. This is the first move in this direction and will be watched with interest. - A New Haven, Conn., despatch says there is a probability that the population of Connecticut may be shown to be not large enough to re- tain the state's present representation offour iniCongress. The farming vill- ages, as shown by the returns in the first district, have decreased in pop- ulation during the last ten years. A servant girl of Mrs Thos. Dow's presented that lady with an agree- ablesurprise the other day. Io burn- ing some papers which she had been instructed to destroy, the girl noticed an envelope that looked as if it had something in it, She opened it and found it contained 8235, which sum she placed in her employer,s posses- sion. No doubt thegirl was handsome - 1v rewarded for her integrity.— Whitby Chronicle. W W Hopkins, of Osage city, Kan says he has been in nine states this spring and the greatest curiosity he has seen in all his founds was a ekunkery at Homer, Mich. A man by the name of Abe Vreeland is raising skunks on a large scale. They are just breeding and he will this sea- son increase the stock nearly 3,000. Choice animals for pets bring about $10 each and the hides bring from 35 to 90 cents each. They are tame, easily controlled, make no offensive smell and it is proving quite a profit- able business. The farmers in Frontenac county are puzzled over a blight that is des- troying a good deal of the gain crop. Oats have turned red, as though from rust, and stopped growing. Wheat is stunted and yellow. Barley is begin- ning to show the same taint: Some oats are infested with a small green louse, but not in any greater number than are seen in years of good crops. Hot, dry weather after such copious rains may have something to be with the blight. The crops on high land is equally affected with those on low ground. Wheat is past help. The Manitoba Department of Agri- culture has issued a bulletin on the condition of the crops and live stock. Three hundred and seventy eight cor- raspondents reportod simultaneously June 15 that the weather was admir- able for seeding. Growth was very slow early in the season, but very rapid later on. The average fall of rain over the athole province has been 1.79 inches and only a few places are reported af. needing any. The acre- age under crop is 1,053,264, an in- crease of 160,000 over last year. The condition of the grain, root and hay , crops in almost every district is ex- cellent and promising. Live stock is also in a flourishing condition. )FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1890. The Liberal Leadership. Perhaps because there is a dearth of othe,' subjects for- editorial dis- cussion at this sweltering period of the year, a liberal paper down east has started a discussion con- cerning the leadership of the party and the discussion is becoming very general. Mr Laurier only ac- cepted the leadership on condition that Mr Blake bhould resume it at sumo future time, but so far as wo are aware, the latter has not sig- nified his desire to again take the position. I+'or our part we have no particular fault to find with Mr Blake though he did not take quit the t,t and that wo would have liked to see hint ul'ce, on a eouple of occasion-, Lit w•e are quite willing to :acct i.t the London Free Preys estimate of hiri ,which says : "No one who has spent a session at Ottawa can deny- that Mr Blalce is a man of marvellous ability, of high scholastic attai a Olen ts.' We like Mr Laurier, as a leader, for ho is broad-minded, fearless and outspoken, while ho is at the same time able and eloquent. We known that there is a prejud- ice in sOrne N(CtiOnS against men of his religious views, but if Eng- land was satisfied with the relig ions views of Disraeli, we do not think Canada has any reason to find fault with thoselof Mr Laurier. Further Mr Laurier has one ad- vantage which Mr Blake does not possess, and it is that he is out and out i of free trade. . We arc „ ;oing to quarrel about the leader of the Liberal party. If Dither Mr Blake, Mr Cartwright or Mr Lauriet are willing to tight for the principles that we believe to bo right, we are glad to fight side by side with any of them. Since the above was in type the Globe has published this letter: — MAISONROLGE, Pointe an Pic, P.Q., June 30, 1890. SIR,—My attention having been called to the fact that your recent article has given circulation among Liberals to Conservative allegations that I desire to resume the leadshipof the Liberal party I beg space to say that there is not a grain of truth in these allegations, and I am no more desirous to resume than I was to assume or Ito retain that post. My only wish is that the confidence and affection of Liberals of all shades may induce Mr Laurier to hold the place which he so admirablyjfills. 1 am, etc. EDWARD BLARE. Mr John Cameron resumed the general management of the London Advertiser. Before he left Toronto he was handsomely entertained at a banquet, presided over by Mayor Clarke. The Advertiser will reap the benefit of Mr Cameron's metro- politan experience, and altboueh it has been a good paper in the past, will assurredly be better in the future. General Middleton has resigned command of the militia forces of Canada. The resignation was handed to the Minister of Militia Saturday and will, without doubt be accepted by the Government. The vote of censure by Parliament left the gen- eral no other alternative than to withdraw from the service of Canada. It would have been more commend- able had he resigned long ago, and kept his mouth closed since the action of parliament, for he has been "blowing" for some time that he had no intention of resigning. The Government should appoint some Canadian military man in his place. • The resignation of Rykert is now in order,and he should be asked to baud it in without further delay. Some Canadian papers take the view that our manufacturers could not compete successfully with those on the other side, if we had com- mercial union, but in a conversation the Naw ERA had with an Ameri- can the other day, the latter took a contrary view, and alleged that the American manufacturers were afraid of the Canadian competition that would ensue, if the tariff wall was taken down. .It is exceedingly absurd for the Empire to attack Mr Mowat because he is carrying on the affairs of the Province with an incomplete Cabinet. The country is not suffering, and li the vacant postfolios will undoubted. ly be filled at an early day. What's troubling the Empire worse than anything h the fact that its mana- ger's anticipations (before the Gth of . June) of filling one ot the Cabinet seats, were so badly shattered. IL is alleged that a Toronto "pri- vate detective" has been attempting to tamper with Crown witnesses in the Birchall-Banwell murder case, and a government detective is tri be sent to Oxford to investigate. Friends of the prisoner Birchall in England have subscribed £300 as a defence fund for the accused, and a draft for £100 it now on the way out. The father of the murdered Benwell has been subpoenaed to give evidence at the trial cf the alleged murderer, and will arrive here from England shortly in order to be pres- ent at the trial. It is probable that Mr. B. B. Osler, Q. C., will be en- gaged to defend Birchall. The Ox- ford assizes open at Woodstock on Sept. 18 before Mr. Justice Mac - Mahon. Ata Cameron, banquet to Df r Cam .ion, the retiring manager of the Globe, Prem- ier Mowat said: "Lately, I have had the pleasure of reading some very civil words that Sir John Macdon- ald said of me, at a non-political banquet in my native city in King- ston. Very kind words they were, and I do not know that it would be out of place if I could reciprocate the kind things he said. All Reform- ers will agree with me if I say of him that he has had distinguished suc- cess as a public ljnan; and that that success has been owing to his politi- cal ability, his tact, his courage and his geniality. At the same time, I wish those qualities had been em- ployed in a better cause." (Great applause and laughter.) • NEWS NOTES Waabington despatch sass tl,e lropulaiien of the United States 1' about 64,600,000, against 50,155,783 in 1880. Mr J. McOutchen, f.f Petrulea, had a driving mare choked :,to bath the other day by getting its neck eutwin- ed in the tie rein, while feeding unties hillside. The body of John &libeller, a can - adieu farm band, employed last fall by farmer Ackerman, ofGrand Island, has been found under a lot of brush. Coroner Miller thinks the man was murdered and an investigation will be held. When all the Quebec elections Lave been held it will be found that Mr Mercier will have at least fifty sup• porters in a house of seventy.three members. His majority will be greater than the entire nutnerical strength of the opposition.. ltev. Father Hollinger, the iaith curist, is lying at the point of death at Pittsburg, and will not likely re cover. He attended 10,000 people on St. An•hony's day, but the stain was too much fol hiul, and he bruke down the next day. Father Mel- linger is said to be worth nearly $2,- 000,000. An enthusiastic paper speaks of the Dominion Premier as "the friend of farmers.'' Sir John profesaee to be the friend of everybody who has a vote, but he is the real feiend of only the monopolies. His friendship for the farmers he shows by forcing them to pay combined prices for what they buy and take free trade prices for what they sell. The new Ontario Legislature will not lack for doctors. There will be eleven physicians in the new House: Dr Baxter, of Haldimand; Dr Mc- Kay, of South Oxford: Dr Dowling, of South Renfrew ; Dr McMay of West Victoria; Dr McMahon, of North Wentworth, Dr Gilmour, of West York; Dr Barr, of Dufferin; Dr Preston, of Leeds; Dr Willoughby, of East Northumberland; Dr Wylie, of West Simcoe; Dr Meacham, of Len- nox. Of these the first six are Re- formers, while the remaining five are Conservatives. Among the defeated candidates are four doctors, as follows: Dr Tennent, of South Bruce: Dr Hunt, of Center Grey; Dr Fleming, of West Kent, and Dr R. F. Preston, of North Lanark. Another of the fathers of the Cana- dian confederation has passed away in the person of Earl Carnarvon, whose death is announced by cable- gram. The deceased nobleman was secretary of state for the colonies in the Imperial government in 1866, at the time when the confederation scheme was proposed. and he took charge of the British North America Act and had it passed through the Imperial parliament. The speeches he made in explaining the provisions of the bill have frequently been quot- ed to show what the actual intentions of the authors of the confederation scheme were. Earl Carnarvon visit- ed Canada in 1883 and spent a short time in Ottawa. He was born iu 1831 and became high steward of Oxford University in 1846. He was lord lieutenant of Ireland in 1885 and became a party to the famous bar• gain made between Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr Parnell, by which the Tories undertook to secure the support of the Irish party by promis- ing a measure of Home Rule. Earl Carnarvon was the author of several historical lectures and works on anti- quarian subjects. He was a Conser- vative in politics, but was known to sympathize with Mr Gladstone's Home Rule policy. News Notes Around The County Local Sporting Notes The Exeter cricket club defeated the St Mary's club by 118 to 70. The members of the gun club are ex petting a match with the Loudon club, ' at an early day, There will be a base ball game on the 12th, between either Exeter or Goderich and Clinton. A very good game is looked for. On the 12th of July Wingham la- crosee club will play against our Daunt less team, and, as the last game was very close, a good game may be expect- ed this time. Ou Dominion Day all of our sporting clubs were on the "qui viva" of excite- ment. Three of our clubs played against outsiders, and two of the three were victorious. A large number went to Goderich to see the base ball and lacrosse matches, between teams from Goderich add Clinton. The base ball club was very successful, as will be seen by their snore, but the lacrosse boys "got done up," as it were. They put up a very strong game, however, and made the Goderich boys hustle to beat them. At home the Victorias were true to their name, and defeated the Wingham team quite handily. CL'LCEET. A very pleasant game was played on the Agricultural Grounds, on July 1st, between the Wingham club and the Victorias, of this town. The wickets were pitched t,. -+.30 a.m., and drawn at 1 p.m. Capt. McMurchie, of the Vic• torias, sent his men to bat first, and for the first three wickets things looked very bad for Clinton; three wickets fell for one run, but as the game progressed our boys picked up and succeeded in making a score of 17 runs. Wingham then went to bat, and were- disposed of in true Victoria style for 28 runs; thus the Victorias won by 29 runs. The Winghamites made a very good name for themselves, by their pleasant man- ner, both on and off the field, and the Victories will look forward with a great deal of interest to their return match. The following is the score and bowling analysis : \Wingham. The Choicest Stealings from Our County Exchanges. Over 9,000 pounds of cheese was sold last week by the Morris & Grey cheese factory. A child lit a match in Mrs McGee's house, Bluevale, on Friday, and put it into a knothole. The house might have been burned but for prompt measures. Mrs Hartley, of Bluevale, was call- ed away on Wednesday, by telegram, to the death bed of her sister, Miss Sewell, who died on Friday, and was buried last Monday. Mr M. J. White, editor of the Ex- eter Times, was married the other night to Mies M. Helena Clark, daughter of Mr N. J. Clark, of Butte City, Mont., and will bring his bride to Ontario, Murdock McGregor, an old resi- dent of Blyth, while working in his garden last Monday morning was stricken with paralysis, the result of sun stroke, from which he died on the evening of the same day. Mrs Joseph Robb, of the 1st con. of Morris, was severely bitten on the hand by a dog belonging to her father-in-law, Henry Robb. The savage brute caught her hand as she was crossing the lane and would scarcely let go bis bold. They shot the dog. Maitland Presbytery will convene in Wingham on Tuesday, July 8th. The resignation of Rev. G. B. Howie, as patter of Knox church, Brussels, will probably be handed in at this meeting. It is reported that the revetend gentleman will go as a mis- sionary to Jerusalem. Rev. W. L. Rutledge, who goes to Cobourg Methodist church, was tendered a farewell social on Friday evening at Winnipeg, and presented with a purse of $250 by the congre- gation of Grace Church. The rever- end gentleman is the youngest bro- ther of Mrs J. L. Kerr, of Brussels. At the recent vestry meeting of Christ Church, Wingham, a resolu- tion was unanimously adopted to ask the Bishop of the diocese to appoint Rev. Mr Hughes, Listowel, to the Wingham rectory. The Bishop has consented and conveyed to Rev. Mr Hughes the resolntion of the Wing - ham vestry meeting. On Tuesday evening, of last week, a large number of the young people in connection with the Methodist church, Blyth, met at the parsonage and presented their pastor, Rev. A. W. Tonge, and his wife, with a band - some clip and saucer and a beautiful photograph album respectively, as a alight token of the esteem in which they were held.

The Dauntless lacrosse club left on the 10 a.m. train last Tuesday for Gode- rich, to play the junior club of that town. They arrived at 11 a.m., and at once proceeded to the Albion House, where they immediately made ready for the game. The playing commenced at 12 and lasted for one and a half hours. During the first half of time no goal was scored ny either team, the game being well contested. Five min- utes after second half time the first goal was put in by Goderich. The se- cond game was got after fifteen minutes hard play, and the third one minute before time was called. The boys speak in the highest terms of their cor- dial treatment at the hands of the Goderich boys, and eagerly look forward to the time when it will be in their power to reciprocate their kindly ac- tions.

The fielding of both teams was splendid, but the Clintons led in the batting, the Goderich team not being able to "catch on" to Agnew's curves. The following is the score : • 1 2 3 4 Goderich .... 1 0 0 0— 1 Clinton .... 5 3 0 1— 9 13 1 '2 0 0 1 3 2a 0 i>ag ler srant . effort, but Arnot return- ed the ball to Seaforth goal, where Mat- thews drove the leather into Oleo -lien's hands, who made a brilliant atop. Crawford and Smith then got off and, passing to centre, the Boots goal nearly fell. The deaforth team were playing by far the beat game, the Scots being all at sixes a•ld sevens and when the got a chance were too slow to take ad- vantage of it. Livingstone at half was working hard and repeatedly he beat the Scots' loft wing by square tackling. Dewar was being well watched by Ed- monds, but at last the former got on the run and, stepping past Edmonds, oar- ried the ball right up to the Scots' goal, this splendid effort resulting in a well. earned goal,kicked by Smith. Seaforth 1 ; Soots, 0. Fifteen minutes from half• time Jack Edmond's kuee gave out, but with great pluck he remained in the field, thoughcompletely lamed. The Seaforth team had ouly occasionally to act on the defensive during the remain• der of the period, but their goal had two or three narrow escapes. Half- time was called with the score still un• changed, After the Eick-off Ilenderson the Hurons' centre, sent in two lovely shots,which just missed by a foot. The Hurons' goal was now twice threat- ened through the fine work of Mannison assisted by Wilson At this point Mc- \Vhirter, who was in the act of heading the hall, was accidentally kicked by one of the Hurons above the left eye. -- With the nasty wound intlicied and his optic completetly closed,McWhirter was compelled to leave the field. The Scots although in evil plight, with one goal down and playing nine men against eleven, as Edmonds was practically a spectator, played with such spirit and dash that in a short time an equalizing goal was scored, Patterson dropping the ball fair on the goal keeper, from whose head it glanced off and through, amid the terrific cheering of the spectators. The remainder of the game saw some lively play by the Scottish forwards,but the match ended without a goal being scored. The Scots thus win the series by a single goal.

Se FORTH vs. TORONTO.—The long foot• ball season has been brought to a close, and the championship trophy, remains in Toronto for another six months. The Seaforth team arrived in Toronto, on Saturday, ahortly after noon, and were met by a few of the Scots, who ac- companied them to the Russell house, where they pnt up. At 6.20 the teams lined up as follows : Hurons. Toronto Scottish. Clonnan Goal . ...McDonald Willie Arnot Racks W. McDonald...) Nowbtgglnq Jackson ) Edmonds D. McDonaldHalf backs Paterson Livingstone ...) McCallum Crawford Wilson Smith.... ........) Wright Henderson Forwards Mnnnieon Killoran Dewar ... McVVhirter / . Matthews Umpire- D. M. Duncan, Varsity F.H.C. Referee—Dr. J. M. McCallum. The Seaforth men won the toss and decided to attack the eastern goal. Mannison set the ball a moving and for several minutes the Scots had the ad- vantage, but thestrong defence put up by McDonald, Livingstone and Willis kept them at bay. The Hurons now bean to settle down to their task of getting two goals to win, and treated thespecta- tors for35 minutes to some magnificent pieces of combined play, the ball fre- quently travelling the whole length of the field several times without a Scotch toe getting near enough to touch the feather. Dewar was soon spotted by the crowd and he earned a round of cheer• pieces that are suffering for rain, we need rain in this section badly, it has rained in all sections around u but we have had none of late. The crops look much better than they did this time last year, for we had occasional showers through seeding and the grain all came up good. The gophers in some sections are destroy- ing the crops badly, but the town- ship is providing the farmers with strychnine. The hay crop is going to be very short, feed was very scarce this spring, hay $10 per ton, oats 50 cents per bushel, barley 50 cents, Hay at the present time is worth from $15 00 to- $22.00 per ton. The general opinion is if we have rain this incoming week that we will have good average crops. We have things very convenient here, school one mile from my place, church every Sabbath, one Sunday Baptist the nett Presbyterian. All that is re- quired in this Southern Manitoba is actual settlers, their is so much land held by apaculatora and companies. I said all that was required was act- ual settlers, I wish to explain what I mean by those, for we have so many that are not, for they are nothing but old bachelors, no use to this country, nor any other, while they remain in that state. I would say to the young ladies of Hullett and surrounding country that, while the young men of that locality have come to this country to make homes for themselves, "to go thou and do likewise," for this will never be a good prosperous country without more of the female sex. Wages for the female sex are from $8 to $15 per month, and very hard to get at that for those who wish to work out, and if you wish to start dress -making or tailoring, much better, as a suit of clothes costs $10.00 to get a tailor to make them. I have in about 300 acres of crop, it all looks well, about 190 of wheat, the remainder oats and barley; 1 have about 40 acres broken There is plenty of first class water in this section, as I dug a well last week and only had to go 13ft and have 313 feet of good soft water. No more this time. Yours Ron. F. SPRUNG. • HOW WE SPENT DOMINION DAY. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. DEAR. Sia,—Quite a number of our citizene,with their families, spent the day by taking a drive through Gode- rich township to Bayfield, and on the way there I was pleased at the scen- ery of the road, the smooth, narrow, shady and winding route, with cedar trees on each side of the road, for the last three miles, make it a pleasant drive. It reminds me of the parks in 1country,to the d the o nobility. We noticed our old friends, Mr Jewett and family, with their smiling conntenances,seemed to have been taken by surprise. His picnic grounds and buildings were soon alive with double and single rigs, some from the south as far as Exeter. The Royal Templare from Seaforth, Brucefield, Varna and Bayfield were there, also the Army corps from Clin- ton, who spent some time in open air service, in the park. Two fishing boats made quite 'a pull,' by taking parties out for an excursion on the water, at 10 cents a trip. Several row boats were also in use, making quite a fleet on the lake. Long strings of fish were to be seen at even time, and every one seemed to enjoy them -y • . I r 0 t '`I 1 KEEP KOOL BY BUYING ONE OF OUR NICE - NEW - FANS JUST RECEIVED.
