They should have protested against the balance of thti.seats on both sides, and then had a new election all around. That some of the protests aro en. tered purely and solely in order to be used as a "set -oft"' against some other is quite evident, for what earthly use is there in pro- testing South Oxford, for instance, or Kingston even, for that mat- ter. No doubt a good many of the protests will go to trial, but a good many will also be dropped. The petitioner in the Rest Hu- ron protest is Mr Mitchell, of the Goderich Star.- What the charges are we do not know, but presume they aro the usual ones.

Well, he has been appointed to that house of refuge for defeated candidates -the Senate, and will still be able to draw a very liberal allowance from tho exchequer, for he not only gots the sessional indemnity of $1,000, but he retains his port- folio as Minister of Agriculture - for which ho will also rocoivo $7,000 a year.

Mr Alex Brotherston, who got his leg broken some six or seven week, ago, is able to be around on crutches. He is niaking a good recovery, Dr Ferguson, who has been practising at Seaforth, for some time, intends re- moving to Blyth in a few days, and will take up the practice of Dr Sloan in that village. Mr A M Cannpbell, of Stanley, form- erly Deputy -Reeve, has gone to Mis- souri with the hope that the trip and change of air and scene will benefit his health. Messrs Beattie Bros have purchased Messrs Roe and Martin's, 'busses, Wingham, and now have control of the business in town. Only one 'bus is run to the stations now. Mr J Gilchrist, a farmer of the Lon- don Road, near Hensall, died on Mon- day of consumption. He has been ailing for some time. Aged 58 years; he leaves a grown up family. Mr Thos McCracken, who has for some years been employed in Mr Thos Bell's factory, Wingham, left on Wed- nesday for Lansing, Michigan, expect- ing to secure work there at his trade. Mr C E Mason, of Tuckersmith, has disposed of the first prize three-year- old Clydesdale stallion,Monksman(8059) Vol. XII, to Messrs Myer, Youngblut & Farquhar, of Londesboro, for the sum of $1,800. Mr John Jarrot has sold his farm on Parr line, near Hillsgreen, to Mr Wm Consit for $6,000. The farm contains 100 acres, has on it a good brick house and a large bank barn with stone stab- ling underneath. It is one of the best farms in the district. On Wednesday week still another of those pleasant events took place at the residence of James Sproat, Esq., of Tuckersmith, namely the marriage of his daughter, Miss Sarah A, to Mr R Bell, Jr., son of Mr John Bell, of the township of Hay. Mr G A Hyndman, who has conduct- ed a grocery business in Exeter for some twelve years, has been compelled to make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, who hold claims of sums aggregating in the neighborhood of $2,500. A letter from Mr R Gilmore, of the N W mounted police, formerly of Wing - ham, states that he is in the hospital, having been kioked by a broncho horse while shoeing it at Fort McLeod. A small bone in his left leg was broken, but he does not expect to be laid up long. On the evening of Thursday, a little daughter of Mr Frank Flanagan, Wing - ham, aged about six years, accidently tipped the tea pot over on her, the hot tea scalding her terribly on the should- ers and back. Medical aid was procur- ed, bat of no Avail, and death name to the relief of the little sufferer on Sun- day night last. Ot, resuming the livt-ey business, and while cleaning up his stables a few days ago, Mr R Tennant, of\%ingham, came across one of Her Majesty's mail bage, which was securely tied up. On open- ing the bag he was somewhat startled to find that it contained part of ahum- an corpse. i low it came there no one seems to know. Last Monday evening Edwin, the S year old son of 1) Zimmer, of Cron. brook. died after an illness of a few days. it was a great surprise to many. as few krrt'w elf hi'i i111,c4 i. 00 7'hnrs day of last week he wan jumping with OUR LETTFI}L BOX A REPLY TO MR. RANSFORD. To the Editor of the Clinton Yew Eno Snt,-In your last issue Mr Rausford begins his letter by charging me with personal fault finding. I cannot see evhere he has any ground for this in niy letter, and allow me to say that 1 have much respect for Mr Ransford, personally, but at the same time I can- not allow my respect for him to hiuder me from showing where he is wrong-, anci if he cannot boar to be shown his own faults, he should not attsmpt to find fault with others, is it not strange that the very thing be charges nue with he goes}reight into himself, and also 'stakes use of a private conversation, held between himself and me, but does not give it correctly. I never said I would -sit at anybody's feet to learn." What 1 said was, "I would sit and learn from' anyone who would take the Word of God and Leitch nie." 1 never said I hail "invited several clergymen to div - Cuss whether these things were so." - What 1 said was, that "some -ler+„v.nen l:ad told Inc 1 was all wrung. and that 1 had invited then] to ounce to 10' louse and take the Bible. and shunt 1110 wheel 1 tray wrong." Nov,o'[r 1t;ut-for,t can have the same privilege, but if his pre- fers the -ole 11)15 of the N Ica 1:c t fur the purpose, he is at full liberty to expose every evil with which 1 tau connected, either in my business, religion or pri- vate life; (only let hint give Inc the same liberty) 1 have no dread of Mr Rana - ford's exposure, or of any man's. why should 1, when 1 know that 1 have yet to stand beiore the judgment seat of Christ, to receive for that which 1 hold and do now; see 2 Cor, v, 10. And 1 tun persuaded that if Mr Ranstord realized more fully that he will one day have to give an account of his actions here, he wotiid be more careful as to what he does and says. Again, DIr Ransford states that I have failed to answer his question as to how Brethren were to be distinguished from others dwelling in the same town. This unscriptural question I fully answered when I show- ed w- ed that the Lord only acknowledged "one body"-lnott a divided one. The Scriptures given were 1 Cor. 12, 13; 12, 25; John 17, 11-22; Acts 2, 4.4.47. These portions of the Word 1 considered suffi- cient at the time, and do yet, but in order to clear away any remaining dif- ficulty in his mind, I will quote a few more. Paul says, "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ei all ..ym,1k (h, .:eine lhinj, and that there be no di,•%.•7011..' among you." ' See 1 Corm i, 10-13. Mso we read in the third chapter, "And I bre- thren could not speak ionto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even, as unto babes in Christ. For ye are yet carnal, for whereas there is among you (seem J and dry., ., and db lien, are ye not carnal and walk as men? For one saith I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal ?" Ac- cording to these Scriptures Mr Rans- ford is carnal in his views. He seems to consider names of little importance, but Satan has used names very effect- ively . to divide the people of God. - Surely the word of God teaches clearly' that Christians should not be distin- guished from each other. Satan desires that they should, and Mr Ransford endorses his view. As to the term "Brethren," Mr Ransford thinks it "is not sufficient to -day to distinguish in- telligibly among the large number of' Christians." According to this Mr Ransford is wiser than the Lord, who says, "All scripture is given by inspira- tion of God, and is profitable for doc- trine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction. in righteousness, that the man,.f God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works," The Lord says the man of God is thoroughly furnished unto all good works, but Mr Ransford teaches wo should add to the Word. Whom should we believe ?- Surely the Warnings of Scripture, against adding to the Word, should deter him from making such a state- ment. If the Lord considered it need- ful to give additional names He would have done ao. Matt. g3, 8; Heb: 2, and parallel scriptures show the term "Brethren" is sufficient. All Chris- tians, of course, acknowlege the name Christian, and I have used the name in my previous letter. When the name Christian is used, the word does not infer Episcopalian Christians or Roman Catholic Christians, because no such class of Christians existed when the word of God was written, nor was any provision made for such sectarian terms. The term "Christian" em- braces all who profess, jest as the name "Brethren" inolndes all who believe. Mr Ransford says, "Letus seek less after doctrines . and in their stead endeavor to do something that will show to observers we are trying (probably yery feebly) to do his will," Will Mr Ransford tell us how anyone can do the will of God apart from His doctrine ? We are told in Acts ii that 3000 souls "continued steadfastly in the Apostle's doctrine." And in Romans xvi, 17 the Apostle says, "Now I be- seech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them." What doctrine did they learn? The Episcopalian doctrine? Nay 1 The Pharisees and Scribes got a severe reproof from the Lord, when he said, "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the command- ments of men." But Ile also said, "If any man will do His will he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God." Mr Ransford "thanks God the Chris- tianity of to -day is conning nearer the world's need;" had ho said, nearer the world's level, he world have been more scriptural, 1-3; to al see Tim. iv. p2 Tim. iii, 1-13; iv, 1-4; 2 Thos. ii 1-12. Surely, if eve believe those portions of tine Word. Mr Ransfori's statement cannot he accepted. He also A.skR why does not Mr Tedford'e little band net as did the primitive Christians, and linvr all things emmit,nn? he mile, -they earnest thio in not the reason, as lse will see by Lis own quotation' that "ell that believed 1 tc, re hop tlu r,'' but this he, and those ' with him, who uphold the sectarian 1 spirit of these times, reader impossible; and when the truth, which would' tend to this happy state of things is present- ed to those seeking light, he oalls it proselytizing. And now, Mr Ransford, I would just say that if you were more "thoroughly furnished" with the simple doctrines as they are taught in the Word of God, and gave less heed to the doctrines of men, the whole of this cor- respondence would, so far at least as you are ooneerned, have been altogether unnecessary. JOHN TEDFORD. COMMENDATORY. 7'o The Editor of the Clinton 11rt u• Era: SIa,-I do not wish to enter or share in the discussion taking place in your columns, but I was so much pleased at the tone of Mr. Ransford's last letter, that I wish to commend him therefor. I had not expected the catholicity of spirit thereindisplayed, and am all the more pleased at its existence. I gm at one with him in his desire to promote the good of mankind, and would be glad to see his trenchant pen used to oppose all customs that are doing much "to negative the efforts of zealous workers in her taiiity's interest.

A Jersey bull belonging to Mr Joseph Cameron, of Louth township, broke from its enclosure Sunday morning and invaded the premises of Mr Tobias Wismer, who, with his son, started to drive the animal away.

Charles Steeley, about 19 years of age, has been lodged in jail at Stratford on a serious charge. Steeley was sent out to Canada about two years ago by an emigration society. Was hired by Wm Dow, of the 6th con, of Hibbert. He feft Mr Dow's last fall and went to Hugh Kennedy's for the winter. For some reason he harbored a deep-rooted spite against Mr Dow. Between 2 and 3 o'clock last Wednesday morning he entered Mr Dow's house, armed with a heavy club. Leaving his boots in the woodshed he put on a pair of rubbers and walked right into Mr Dow's bed- room. He first struck Mr Dow in the face with his heavy club, making an ugly wound. The next blow fell on Mr Dow's hand, which was thrown up in defence. Mrs Dow by this time war; ed up, and on rising from her pillow re- ceived a heavy blow on her breast. The fellow then became alarmed at the noise he had made and rushed out of the house to the barn, which be. fired and had ablaze in a few minutes. On seeing the fire the inmates of the house rushed out, and had just time to get the live 'stock out of the burning build- ing. The barn was a large and splen- did building, and contained a large gnantity of hay and several hundred bushels of wheat, oats and peas, besides sundry implements. All the hay, grain and contents, with one calf, were burned, and the loss will he heavy, as there was but $100 nr $500 insurance on the whole thing. The loss is put by Rome at 81,700. He was arrested and brought before a Magistrate at Mitchell. He admitted that Mr I)ow had never done him mach harm, but held that he was awing him a small balance of -wages which ler refused to pay.

A Kincardine despatch says: Wm Remington, father of the young man now in jail on the charge of murder- ing Agent Flett, at Arthur, died at his farm near Hunter. Ever since the arrest of his son Mr. Remington has been in a very depressed state, and latterly has been confined to his bed, being much weakened by fits of weeping which overwhelmed him at the thought of the disgrace bfougbt upon his honor- able name. He has never seen his son since his arrests, and it is said that his family were afraid to let him visit Joe, as he had threatened to shoot him. A Quebec despatch says: -The party of men who left town a few days ago to seize some Whiskey concealed down the river returned home on Saturday even- ing without the whiskey. The men were shown large quantities cf contra- band cigars and liquors of all kinds, the value of which is estimated at $60,- 000, but the entire populace armed it- self with various weapons: chiefly fire- arms, and defied the officials to make any seizure. The schooner, after a time, moved around the island. but about fifty men, armed to the teeth,fol- lowed it on shore, keeping a watch on it. A Bretz cable says: A farmer named Wishart, living with his wife and two children in the outskirts of this city, has of late been making love to a hand- some young woman in the neighboring village of Preing. Heartbroken at her husband's treachery, Mrs Wishart locked all the doors, strangled her children, clothed herself in white, and, having saturated a bed with oil, lay down upon it and set it afire. At the same moment she cut her throat with a razor to make doubly sure of death. The house was nearly destroyed by fire, and the bodies of the mother and two children were burned to a crisp. A very serious accident occurred within a mile of Shelburne, on Satur- day, whereby the sixteen -year old son of Mr R. J. Whitton lost his lite, the boy and a younger brother were playing around the barn. In their rambles they found a small piece of plough line. The boy had read or heard of a thir- teen -year-old boy hanging himself, and he was apparently trying to explain to his younger brother how it was done, He fastened the plough line to a beam and made a noose of the rope, in which he placed his head. The ground being ms t have and Rli er he see o slanting1 lost hifooting, slippery, dywas strangled be- fore assistance arrived. Itis father drove into the yard then, and palled to him, thinkinghe was fooling` but re- ceived no repy. lie immediately Out him down and summoned I)r Nortop, brit when the doctor reaehed him life was extinct.

The piano sharpers who recently worked in the neighborhood of London have worked their scheme near Whitby, as would appear by the following tel- egram from that plat's: "The Assizes opened here Monday, Justice hose pre. siding. The first case tried was Madill vs. Stewart, an action to recover 54801 on a note secured from a Dlara farmer by some piano men. Last July two strange men named Vanderpool and Lattimore visited defondent, and en-' gaged,storage for a piano for six months in his parlor. These men were to send along a musician to use the in- strument and canvass for orders. If orders were secured Stewart was to have his piano free. 11e bit at once. They took the agreement, ache suppos- ed, that compelled him to deliver the piano at the end of the six months, providing none were sold near there. Throe days afterwards another agent came along with papers, and produced the agreement as formerly signed by Stewart, showing that lie agreed to take the piano for keeps at 1?480. IIe w'as frightened into signing for the amount. The stranger, Butler, took the note to Mr Madill, a Beaverton leanker,who interviewed Stewart, and dilscounted it. In defense, Stewart now alleges that he told Madill the note was a swindle before the latter pur- chased it, Madill testifying the very opposite. The jury returned a verdict for the amount of note and costs." King of Medicines A Cure c"Almost Mfrac4alous.'" " When I was 14 years of age Yhad a severe attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for 11 years 1 was an invalid, being confined to my bed 6 years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap- peared and broke, causing me great pain and suffe'ing. I feared I never should get well. "Early in 1886 I went to Chicago to visit a sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time I was there. In July I read a book, A Day with a Circus,' in which were statements of cures by RordNselersaparilla. I was so im- pressed with the success of this medicine tliat I decided to try it. To my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel better and in a short time I was up and Out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar- saparilla for about a year, when, having used six bottles, I had become so fully released from the disease' that I went to work for the Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then HAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAY on account of sickness. I believe the disease is expelled [rem my system, I always feel well, am in good spirits and have a good appetite. I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well as any one, except that one limb is a little shorter than the other, owing to the loss of bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg. To my friends my recovery seems almost mlracnlou8, and I think Hood's Sarsaparilla 1s the king of medicines." WILLIAM A. Leta, 9 N. Railroad St., Kendallville, Ind.
