INSURANCE. -Mr W Cooper has
been appointed agent for the City of
London, and Huron and Middlesex
fire insurance companies. We un -
derstand that Mr Cooper intends to
leave the trade he has so long been
connected with, and enter more deep-
ly into insurance business. He is a
practical man and will give entire
satisfaction in estimating the value of
buildings to be insured.
HALF A MILE OUTWARD. -In-
structions have been given to station
agents, road masters, section boseee
and employees of railroads generally,
to thoroughly carry out the laws re-
garding cattle running at large, and
that is to impound every cow, horse
sheep or pig found running at large

in city, village or county, and. to
prosecute the owners thereof where
they persist in violating the laws.

The news of the death of Charles
Stewart Parnell, that. was flashed across
the chistinent on Wednesday evening,
vas a emprise to all, for no one had the
slightest] intimation that he was ill.
Bie"death is said to be due to a heavy
Chill that he received a week ago. A
roan of much ability, he dropped from
his position as leader of the Home Rule
movement by reason of his intrigue
with Mrs O'Shea, and the question that
bac been prominent in English politics
as to who would be leader of the Irish
party, will be more easily settled now
than it would have been had he lived.
A singular coincidence was 'the sud-
den death at about the same time of
Sir John Pope Hennessy, another Irish
M. P. of note. But Hennessy was the
opposite of Parnell, being the victorious
Anti -Parnell candidate at an election
that occurred soon after the Parnell -
O'Shea episode become public, and on
Which Parnell staked his future.
Tho death of these two men,and also
the death of Hon. Mr Smith, the leader
if the English government, whish oc-
curred Monday, may have an import-
ant bearing upon English politics.

The _Clinton show w,,„1 the most
successful that has been nerd under
the new regime. * * * The man-
agers of this show have ,manifested a
degree of enterprise and energyeal-
culated to secure success, whe the
business men of the town have taken
a deep interest in it and do every-
thing in their power to increase its
interest and all well deserve the
success they have achieved.
Seaforth Show.
Excellent weather was erpeeienced
last Thursday and Friday, the days
of Seaforth show, and on the second
day a largo crowd of people turned
out. There was a fairly good inside
show, but it did not anything like
come up to Clinton, except perhaps
in the amount of ladies work shown.
It certainly does not look well to see
ten or twenty feet of entirely blank
space on the tables, as was the time
there ; it could be 1,lled up with some-
thing or other. As it waw. the fruit
and other exhibits were made to cover
space, so as to make a better display.
In flowers Mr Thos Cottle, of Clinton,
was the chief exhibitor, and he se-
cured nine first prizes; Mrs Cottle also
took let on a pencil sketch. Mr Cot-
tle's flowers,and also his floral design,
were much thought of by the spec-
tators. Mr Joseph Allaneon had
nearly one side of the building filled
with vegetables, and scoured a num-
ber of prizes. Mrs Boyd, of Clinton,
took first prize for the healthiest and
beat looking baby.
In the outside department, the best
display was among the horses and
sheep. There was a really good ex-
hibit of horses of all classes, and
competition was keen. Mr A Mac-
murchie took 2nd prize for single
driver, and was im mediately after-
wards offered 8200 for it, by the
sludges which "Sandy" _.. refused.
Mr Jai Reynolds, of Huliett,
got first prize for heavy draught team,
the same team showing agafast him
that he beat at Clinton show, and the
owner of which thought that partiality
had been shown him; it Is the opinion
of good horsemen that Mr Reynolds
has a team that is hard to beat in
Western Ontario. Mr David Tip -
lady also got first on his general pur-
pose team -another team that is re-
garded as being a very good one.
The Dales also secured a number of
prizes in different horse classes. Mrs
John Spooner, Clinton, took first
prize as lady driver. , Mr Haywood,
linton, got first on top buggy and
2nd on open. Mr James Snell took
several prizes in Leicester sheep,
though he had sold so many he had
not much to show. In the other out-
side departments, the show was only
middling.
The directors do not seem disposed
to make much of a "splurge," nor to
seek the co-operation of the town.
people, as it seems to us they should.
There is no reason in the world why
Seaforth should not have a tip top
show, but somebody needs to get a
move on before it will be done,

WHAT THE PEOPLE ;AT. -That
the article in reference to Mr
McDonagh'® lecture inserted in the
New ERA of last week was timely
and very appropriately written and
its author deserves the eoniaaeadation
ofthe public. . [rens.-We might
just say, to satisfy `toriositiy and, re-
lative blame where unjustly placed,
that tits author of the letter is a
highly esteemed farmir, and not as
some people allege, a resident of
tows]. That swing wheat is sold at
such a low figure lour is altogether
too dear. That Clinton loeai preach-
ers do a lot of oatyide work. That
the NEW ERA is more anxiously look-
ed for every 'Week than any other
paper. That potatolta are a big crop.

West Huron Agricultural
Society.
At a meeting of the Directors of the
North-Western Exhibition held at God-
erioh on the 3rd inst., the following was
adopted unanimously:
"The Directors of the North-Western
Exhibition regret that the editor of the
Goderioh Signal has, on aoeount of an
imaginary grievance, tried to injure the
interests of the Town of Goderioh and
the North-Western Exhibition by pub-
lishing statements about the Exhibiton
whish are not true and intended to mis-
lead persons not in a position to judge
for themselves.
The membership for 1891 is greater
than that of 1890, and the amount of
prize money awarded this year is more
than 8120 greater than last year, --on
account of the departments being better
filled. These fasts, and the statement
which will be submitted at the annual
meeting will confirm the general opin-
ion that the exhibition was a success."

$10,000 from him he would have
made the matter so clear by doc-
umentary proofs that there would
be no denying it. It is now
known that neither Murphy nor
Robert McGreevy told all they
knew when on the witness stand,
and there is very little danger
that they will be prosecuted. In
an interview Mr Murphy says he
has more of the startling evidence
in connection with the scandals
and would bring it forward
1 next session, when the continua-
tion of the investigation begun
this year is proceeded with. As
regards the contracting for the
Dominion government,' he con-
tinued, 'those Connolly; and Tom
McGreevy ; were the biggest
champs I ever met. We had one
of the softest snaps any one ever
had or ever will have in Canada.
We, as a contracting firm, had
everything in our own hands.
Tom McGreevy worked Sir Hec-
tor and we were right on the in-
side edge, and it was a gilt edge,
I can tell you.'
"It cost us something to work
Sir Hector, but there were big re-
turns for the money invested.
No one could touch ns, as we had
the department with us, and that
meant a heap. Why, if the darn
fools had not quarrelled and tried
to shove me out, we could have
monopolized everything in the
way of big contracts. There will
be several million of dollars spent
liy the government on Montreal
harbor improvements very soon,
and we were d getting
sure of ge g
that contract, and there will be
several other big jobs that we
could have captured. It was to
be so, but the great combination
has been broken up, for Sir Hec-
tor cannot give ont contracts any
longer. He is a dead letter,"
Continuing, Murphy said he
had enough to live on, the Con-
nollys were pretty well fixed,
while Robert McGreevy was

any ons is going to beat him, he
will have to get up early.

The newspapers of St. Peters-
burg denounce the conduct of
merchants and members of the
nobility for seeking profit from
their stores of corn while the peo-
ple are starving. They make a
strong appeal to the Government
to relieve the edict prohibiting
the export of rye and substitute
therefore a heavy tax on the ex-
portation of all corals. Reports
from Baku district and elsewhere
are to the effect that thousands of
persons are dying of starvation.
During the past month grim
death has played sad havoc with
the Rogers family, who live in
the third concession of Sing
township,a few miles from Aurora.
Many years ago James Rogers
settled in the Oak ridges, and had
for years been one of the best
and most respected farmers in the
district. A fine family grew up
around him. In August last
typhoid fever made its appearance
in the household, and on Septem-
ber 1 David Arthur,the eldest BOB,
was dead. Two weeks later Ella,
a beautiful girl of 20, also succum-
bed to the dread disease. The
griefstricken family received an-
other terrible shock Monday
morning, when the father of the
household passed away in his 57th
year.
Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine " makes the weak
Strong." It does not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hood's Sarsaparilla overcomes

In short, gives great bodily, nerve, :ental

A series of accidents occurred
in a funeral procession at Altoona
on Thursday. A procession of 40
carriages was following the re-
mains of Nicholls Holstreet from '°
the church to the cemetery. While
the procession was winding down
a hill a team in the rear became
frightened at a steam threshing
machine, and ran into and upset a
dozen carriages, breaking six of
them into splinters and scattering
the occupants. A panic ensued
and other teams ran away. Men
l and women jumped out from the
carriages only to be tramlped on
by runaway teams. Fully
twenty were more or less injured,
and•a couple killed.
