WATCHMAKER, JEWELLER, &c., CLINTON This ,Huntingdon Election. The following, from the Mon- treal Witness, which is right on the scene, will show how the gov- ernment tried to defeat Mr S3riv- er, who was elected on Monday by 261 of a majority and which the Edlipire claims was a "moral victory." The Witness says:— Judging from the comments of the press, a great deat of interest was taken throughout the Dom- inion in the contest which ended yesterday in Huntingdon County. The electors of the county have done themselves honor by with- standing the extraordinary in- fluences brought to bear upon them by the Government to de- feat Mr Scriver and re-electing their old representative by a large majority. The Government's probable majority in the present Parliament, though not a large one, would. in ordinary timed, be a sufficient one forlall practical purposes, but, in view of the pre- sent temper of the country to- wards protection sad the more in- dependent atti„ude assumed. by many of the Conservative candi- dates during the recenteampaign, Sir John Macdonald probably feels that he will need to strengthen and consolidate 1'is majority at every opportunity and by every meal in his power. At any rate •overt' means known to the Gov- •ernment to influence by-elections, which they seldom fail to carry, resorted to in the case of Hunt- ingdon. The national prejudices of the Irish, Scotch and French residents of the Bounty were ap pealed to by compatriots, and the -religious feelings of the French were stirred up against Mr S crir- •er, who voted against tne Jesuit Act. The influence of one of the priests was openly declared and Used against Mr Scriver and the French w r to under stand by election agents that tho low, marshy land occupied by some of them would bedrai ned and guarded against an overflow of the St. Lawrence by public works at the expense of the Government. Tho organization of the Conservatives is said to have been perfect, and the presence of two cabinet Min- isters in the county was no doubt cecouraging, and seemed a suffi- cient guarantee that' the Govern- ment were so desirous of winning the county that incase it return- ed a Conservative member the at - most corisiderationwould be given to its interests by the 'Cabinet. Under toes© circumstances -it •i$ not strangevf Mr Scriver and the Liberals of the county entertained some doubts as to ,-the result. It is therefore 'creditable :10 (the -county that• it .has; in spite of everything, given its old member a m.ijority of over two hundred and fifty. Though not an unre- stricted reciprocitarian who would -discriminatoagaipst Great Britain Mr Scriver is, we understand, a free trader who would support the largest rneasur'e of reciprocity ,both as to manufactures and as to natural products which could be obtained with strict regard to friendliest attitude towards the Mother Country. Mr Blake's opinion that unrestricted recipro- 'city would mean political union with theUnitedStates was made the most of.in the contest, and it,per- baps, eaysed some 1u1 ewarmness towards the candidate of the Liber, al party. The result is, however, another protest against protection and constitutes a warning to Canr dian manufacturers that the end of a policy which favors thein at the expense of the people in yen- I oral is within measurable dirt- siesweneselwilawase CLINTON MARK ',18 Osrreoted every Thursday afternoon.

The butchers were present in full, force, but were rather slow to be- gin operations. Towards 11 o'clock trade became quite brisk, and for some time there was some difficulty in gett- ing the cattle weighed as fast as their owners desired. Prices of anything not very prime were lower than they were last week. Extra beeves sold at 5c to 5.A and, first-class animals at about 4;tc per lb, with the rougher beasts down to 3hc per lb, but trade was slow in anything but prime animals. Five extra beeves were bought at 5Jlc per lb, and been previouslylirgered for ten of the best animals in is lot. The best calves were bought up before reaching the market to day, as there is a very brisk demand for good veals. Six good calves •were bought for$72,also fifteen superior sheep (yearlings) at Oc per lb live weight and five good spring lambs'kt $7 each. There were a good many spring lambs offered here to -day which were much too small, and some of them would scarcely bring $3. Fat hogs are plenti- ful, and sell in large lots at from 5c to 5}c per lb; but a few choice porkers, sold up to 6c per lb the receipts is of live stock at the yards of the Montreal Stock Yards Company, Point St, Charles, for the week ending March 21 were:—Gail cattle, 34 sheep, 135 hogs, 106 calves. The supply of butchers, cattle was rather short of the demand. Prices were well maintained, and everything sold with the exception of a couple of loads held over for the Easter market, With continued light receipts of hogs values have improved, closing about 5.1c for choice Iota. The prospects for the Easter tfkrle are good. There are several loads of "extra" Stock already in, and a number reported, but with the light supply of last wee': butchers, have but little old stock on hand, and the gineial impression prevails that the Easter trade will be unusually active.

Mrs Stratford, of Tilbury West, went to Windsor last week to have an arm amputated. It had been poisoned by ivy about two months ago, and, despite all efforts to effect a cure, the arm be- came worse and amputation wasresort- ed to as a means of saving her life. Rev Wm Morton, of Hamilton, one of the oldest Methodist ministers on the list, yet his superannuation dates back only five years, is dead. In 1842 he .commenced his ministerial labors in St. Andrews, Quo, In 1846 he was ordained, and received into full fellowship. His last illness was contracted on Sunday, March 15th, while driving 1 ome from Jarvis, where he had preached three timesuring the day. on the wayhotne he tool( a chill and severe cold, which, settling on his Lungs, developed into in- flammation, resulting in his death at a late hour Monday averring.

Ask your Dry Goods dealer for it In the Brant avenue Methodist church in Brantford, Sunday night the Rev. James Awde preached a sermon on the "treating custom. The first point taken up u s y the prevalence of treating among men of haleness. This phase of the evil had been considerably abated of late years, but still many men in mercantile life favored the custom as an aid of trade. in this connection the speaker said: "More titan one-half the commer- cial travellers resort to this method to increase their sales. This is true mainly of the ordinary class of`drummers.' The men of superior ability and character, the men most trusted by employers and custonr;rs, disdain to resort to such a dangerous sacrifice. Many young men of fine parts are put 'upon the road,' which also proves for them thu road to disgrace and ruin."
