Certainly, because in the case of
the United Statcs,"if we seek we
shall find," -that's disloyalty to
Conservative professions, but if
we "seek the same with Jamaica"
there's no p:nsibility of finding,
and that's loyalty to the same
source.

UNIQUE -A "pioneer social" is to
be held io the lecture room of the

Friday evening, 29th inst. Antique
refreshments, time-honored songs,and
speeches by some of the "oldest ic-

A PRINrER'd JUBILEE. - Social
gatherings have often no other dis-
tinctive feature about them than the
hospitality and good will of those
giving the same, but a social gather-
ing, at the residence of Mr Geo. Cox,
Goderich, on Monday evening last,
had a special reason that does not
often fall to the lot of man. On the
17th of August, 1840, Mr Cox started
to learn the printing trade, and as he
is still actively engaged therein, he
had completed fifty years of service
on Monday, and to commemorate the
event, invited a number of friends to
enjoy his hospitality on that evening.
The Goderich Signal, with which Mr
Cox has so long been Identified, in
different capacities, has always been
a staunch advocate of Liberal princi-
ples, and in the past, as in the pre-
sent, has done noble service in formu-
lating public opinion, and support-
ing the tenets of the Liberal party.
That Mr Cox had won and retained
the respect of political opponents as
well as the esteem of his sympathis-
ers, was shown by the fact that
"around his festi7e •board" sat Tory
and Grit alike, men whb are strong
partizans under other circumstances,
elbowing others of opposite faith, and
forgetting all about their differences
doing honor to one who is in the
fullest sense of the terns a true man.
After all had "filled tbeir cases" with
the food things provided by Airs
Cox, a '.umber of "impressions" were
"run ufl" by those present. Mayor
Butler f-xl>rc-..d the pleasure and
gratific.,tiou it gave him in being
present to observe an event g0 rare in
the average iife of any ohe, and paid
a high tribute to Mr Cox's genuine
character and manliness. Rev Geo.
Richardson said he knew nothing
about hint as a printer, but he did as
a man, and he knew of no one whose
Christianity was more sincere, or life
more consistent, and also gave it as
his opiniol> that no than could lend

exercising an incalculable influence
for gond, and hoped that the years of
usefulness of both himself and wife
might be mote then "three score
years and ten.' .'hart addresses
,tore also made by Messrs W. and J.
Acheetttri, 1'. Adamson, 1). Gordon,
8. Cox, A. Gordon, M. Vanatter, 1).
McGillicuddy, a N rev Ella represent-
ative, and W. 1I. Ball, who also spoke
on behalf of the editor of the News-
itecord. All referred in the most
complitnentary terms to 151r Cox,
whose faithfulness, regularity and
uprightness cannot be too -highly
spnken of. Mr Cox replied feelingly;
he did not believe he was worthy of
all their commendation, and would
much rather have been, for this night
at least, in the position of guest, in-
stead of the host. fie then briefly
referred to his early experience in
printing, noting incidentally the won-
derful progress that had been made
1n the `cart preservative," arid the
changes that had taken place since
his first association with the business.
It was a seasonable hour when the
gathering broke up, after prayer by
Mr Richardson. It may be said just
here that Mr Cox is evidently good
for several years more of active work,
and while we do not know whether or
not he has the honor of having been
continuously connected with printing
for a longer period than any other
man in Ontario, we do know that no
man has built up a more honorable
record than he, and his life is the
proof that he has the assurance when
his work is over he will be admitted
into the eternal presence of that One
who has helped him make his life
what it is. He has accomplished his
aim, which was to

Failure of the Apple Crop.
This week's New England Homes -
stead says :-Apples will be scarcer and
more costly this season than for many
a year. There is but half a Drop of
winter fruit in the famous Annapolis
valley of Nova Scotia, and a still
greater reduction in the apple belt of
southern and western Ontario and
Michigan along the lakes. In main
and limited sections of Vermont and
New Hampshire there is a fair yield of
apples. Throughout southern New Eng-
land, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and the interior states generally
the promise of winter fruit is worse
than ever before known. The apple
belt of western New York, along lakes
Ontario and Erie, whioh in good seasons
ships much more than 1,000,000 bbls
to New York or foriegn markets, has
almost no crop whatever this year.
The Homestead confirms this fact by
she testimony of over 300 correspon-
dents and believes that the great ma-
jority of farmers in that region will not
have enough apples for home comsump-
tion. Curiously enough, there is con-
siderable area in Michigan and Kansas
within a radius of a hundred miles of
Kansas City in which there is a pheno-
menal crop of winter apples of fine
quality. Eastern buyers are already
gobbling it up at good prices. Summer
and fall apples are also short, and com-
mandlgood prices. The Homestead says
that choice western fruit, like prime
Baldwins, will rule at 34 to $5 per bbl
in Boston and New York within three
mouths; 84 has already been bid for
one lot in Addison oounty, Vermont,
and the export of apples from the
United States and Canada of the 1890
crop will not be much over -W0,000 bar-
rels, against 700,000 barrc' 1 last year
and 1,000,000 barrels in I`t.i,
