(13) Preparation of the Dominion and Iferovincial voters' lists by the munici- pal officers. (14) Conformity of electoral districts , for both Dominion and Provincial ne- ts preeentation to county boundaries, as , oonstituted for municipal purposes, as far as theprinciple of repesentation by population will allow. With a single exception, this platform %roust whatjLiberals; have been advo- cating for years. We' do not say it :should be supported for that reason, e but for the reason that its planks are -good sound ones. If every farmer would unflinchingly support these prin- , eiples, he would soon bring about a better state of affairs in the country at large. ..ss;• esese-- The Empire is afraid that "under Grit rule, all the provinces are drifting towards direct taxation." We are glad to hear it, and hope that it will prove true. It is nothing to be afraid of, and the quicker that it is reached the bet- ter for the people. • News Notes Arold the County • Last Sunday Michael Howarddied at his home on the 9th con., of Grey aged 80 years. W. Wray, of McKillop, has been en- gaged as successor to T. A. McLauchlin as principal of S. S. No. 11, Morris. Miss Martin, the popular school. teacher of No. S.S. No. 10 Stanley, has been re-engaged for the current years. Tjae 'Wells' Brewery at Saltford was solff fast week 'to Messrs James Clark and James McIntosh, two wealthy gentlemen of Goderich. Mr Wm. Rae, of McKillop, who is at- tending the Model school in Clinton, has been engaged to teach in the Wal tee school next year, as the present teacher Mr. McLaughlin has resigned. On Thursday Mrs. J. W. Brown, aged 88 years and 7 months, died after a very brief illness, at her home on con. 16 of Grey. Her husband died seven or eightyears ago. They were old resid- eats in the township. Mr. Shillinglaw has been reengaged for next year as teacher of the school in section No.' 9, Tuckersmith, at an in- crease of 825 in his salary. He will received $500, and he is worth it, as he is one of the most efficient teachers in the county. Mr. Abraham Hugi 11, of the Huron Road, has purchased from Mr. Thomas McMichael, of Hallett, a very superior Clydesdale filly, two years old, for whioh he paid on the heavy side of 8200. She was sired by Kennelworth, and has Eve registered crosses. On Friday afternoon of last week the residence of Mr. Elliot Fairbairn, of the township of Tuckersmith, was the scene of pleasant and interesting event, mamely, the marriage of Mr. James A. Bell, son of William Bell Esq.eof the village of Hensel], and formerly of the township of Tuckersmith, to Miss Mag- gie, daughter' of Mr. 1 airbairn. Geo. Niebergall has disposed of his farm near Leeburn, formerly the pro- perty of N. Morrish ; the purchasers are X. Baeohler, jr., and his brother Maximillian, for the Bum of $7,500. We understand the new owners will move their portable sawmill from near the Port after a time to cut the timber on the property. What might have proved a serious fire at Henfryn, was averted on Sunday morning of last week. Joseph Gass and family, who live in the station bouse, were awakened by smoke and on going to the waiting room fouled a hole burnt through the floor about a foot square. Had it not been discovered when it was the building would. have been °enflamed. • 'The Court has refused to grant bail to tatdcook, of Torento,charged withl the murder of hie daughter. ,:. .The arri*als of apples at Liverpool op to Oet. 2. amounted to 81,846 barrels against 4,735 barrels for the Ilartie date lost year.

In 1851 he came to Canada, and at that time there a as no railways bere. In 1854 be entered the service of the ,Nortli- ern as brakeman, but was Boon pro- moted to the charge of hie train. — Then he went to the Buffalo & Lake Huron, and finally te the Grand Trunk, before the amalgamation. On January lst, 1889, he was transferred to London, and now his route is from London to the Falls. Mr Holmes bas grown grey in his wdrk, and no wonder, for be has a record of 37 yearly and has travelled 1,800,000 W. K. SNIDER. Owing to the fact that Conductor Snider does duty on the railway and also aims to be a spiritual guide in the journey of life, makes bis name familiar throughout °pearl°. He was bore in Trafalgar, Halton county, Ont., in 1852, went to work as brake- man in 1870, was promoted to a con- ductor's position in 1874. and up to 1886 Billy was 'one ot the boys.' In that year he was converted and bis good -fellowship is now of another character,f hough none the less hearty. Of his usefulness there can be no doubt, for he has preached in nearly 100 different pulpi.s, from Montreal to Windsor, and always to deeply in- terested congregations He is now the London, Huron & Bruce.

On Thursday „last the St. Thomas Journal •celebrated the occupation of its handsome new offices, by at "at Home" that was participated in by a number of newspaper men and a very large orowd of citizens. The building is a fine one, and does credit to a- paper of such advanced and progressive Liberal sentiments as the Journal, which is one of the beat papers in the Dominion, and has -an extensive patronage. We can- intt do better than quote part of what. tho' Globe says in 'reference to' the opening :— For three ter four been the building wasOroteded , with , the people of, Elt.

This wee the year of the cera, and on their way up the St. Ls eaence the grew of the boat, taking fi ; et, landed them and some others, wito their bag- gage, in a marsh by the rive: 'a side. A heavy ram was falling, and they took • refuge in a deserted barn, where they remained several days, as so great was the fear of the cholera no money would inducethe passing boatmen to take them on board. Eventually they reached Dundee, where they buried their youngest child, whose death was due to exposure. At Hautiltou they chartered a schooner to take theca to Toronto, to get medical advice for keit. remaining child, who was very ill.— Here they remained for some weeks, and deceased was wont to speak in the highest terms of the. kindness ef the late Dr. Rolph, who attended her boy. When the little fellow, who, was only four years old, was able to travel, they proceeded on their way to Huron,where Mr Mountcastle had already taken up land. it was on this journey that the timid, city -bred girl, sat all night in the waggon holding her child in her arms, while her husband, with gun and blazing fires, kept a hungry pack of wolves from devouring them. After many vicissitudes they tteached the spot, two miles west of Clinton, se long known as the old homestead of the Mountcastles. It was a dense forest, not a tree had been felled, not a bantl- ing erected. A neighbor kindly offered the young couple the use of a room un- til such time as a house could be built. Very speedily a small clearing appeared, in the midst of whioh stood a pictur- esque log dwelling, and here Mrs Mount. castle's life of struggle and hardship began. Here her indomitable energy and perseverance showed what one noble woman cart accomplish. Here she made a home. Here, with drap- eries and pictures all the work of her own hands, the rough walls were made beautiful. Here she burned the midnight lamp (a strip of cotton drawn to the edge of a little tin pan of lard and lighted) and by whose feeble ray •shetpatched_the ragged clothing husband and children. And here she mourned over the dead body of her first born son, the child before men- tioned) who was snatched from her in a moment, through an awful accident, when in full boyish strength and beau- ty. Mr end Mrs Mountcastle, though very romantio, did not expect to live by farming. It was through the fraud or mismanagement of trustees that re- mittances from the old country sudden. ly ceased, and they were reduced to the direst necessity. For the first few years of her life in Canada, Mrs Mount - castle kept a maid of all work; but when the expected money from Eng. land failed to appear, this luxury had to be dispensed with, and the hands that had never before known what it was to work, learned to make bread, to spin, to knit, to weave. to make her own, her husband's and her children's clothing, and also to make butter and cheese; while her love of the beautiful induced her to take every spare moment that could be snatched from these ar- duous labors, to cultivate the flowers and shrubs that had been planted by her husband, and grew in wild luxeri- ance round their dwelling. It was in the midst of all these enterprises, that by taking cold, shortly after the birth of one of her children, she lost her hearing. This was a terrible affliction, but did not damp her wonderful en- ergy, for as years rolled on, there being. no school within reach, she became, governess to her little family, until the death of her father, when she inherited a small sum of money, which enabled her to send them to Toronto to be fin- ished. Many ups and downs followed the- "settler's wife" for years after. Mr Mountoastle entering into business, for whioh he was unfitted, the beauti- ful homestead,witb its wealth of flowers and shrubs, was sold. This was a great blow to his wife, who was then sixty- five years of age. However, with her usual indomitable energy, she began to make a new home near CT oderich, and soon the flowers bloomed round her as before. At the age of 74, after her hue - band's long illness and death, she came to reside on Spencer street, Clinton, where she made another flower garden, forking up the earth and setting out the plants with her own hands. At 80 Mrs Mountcastle was a beautiful and clever women; many a young girl vsould have been proud to possess such a lovely complexion, bright eyes and magnifi- cent hair. She was a great reader, being well versed in the news of the day. She prophesied the miming of the North west rebellion, but never knew that her prophesy was fulfilled, for a year later her intelect failed suddenly, through the bursting of a blood vessel on the brain. In this state she re- mained nearly seven years, the helpless charge of her three unmarried daugh. ters, one of whom is Clinton's well known artist. Deceased was the mo- ther of twelve ohildrex, two were buried in the old country, one at Duedas, one in Clinton, and three at the old home- stead; five still survive, the remaining two being Mr Monntoastle and Mrs Smeltzer, both of Dufferin county.— Devoted to home, husband and chil- dren, Frances Laura Motintoestle was one whose name should be handed deem in the annals of our country as a model wife and mother, in deference to whose wishes tin family will not wear. monrn. ing. 40.

I am not surprised at this,,for 1 am willing to admit that it was a nice buggy that took the prize. As Mr Hayward is a practical man, it shows that he knows good work when he sees it, but it seems to me that it was hardly the fair thing for a buggy man- ufactured by me to be exhibited as the work of some one e'se, the buggy that Mr Hayward received a prize on being manufactured by me. At Seaforth show my name plate had been removed from, the rig, and I have been :inform- ed from good sources, that of Mr I(ay- ward substituted. 1 have not the slight- est objection to My buggies taking prizes anywhere, but I. do object to other parties getting the honor. Neill just say here that Mr Hayward, when spoken to about the Seaforth exhibit, dated that it was done without hie knowledge, but I would like to know how it came to be repeated at Bayfield in the some manner. Yours truly, FRED RUMBALL. Clinton, Oct2Oth, 1891. A PERTINENT INQUIRY 7n the Editor of the New Era.

THOS GINN, Benmiller P,O. • I King of Medicines A Cure c, Almost Miraculous.), " When I was 14 years of age I had 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 T 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 suffering. I feared I never should get well. " Early in 1886 I wen' to Chicago to visit a sister, but was coati to my bed most of the time 1 was there. 1:: ily I read a book, 'A Day with a Circus,' 1 i \ :Itch were statements of cures by Hood's Sa Inutile. I was so im- pressed with the suec. ee of this medicine that 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 tax bottles, I had become so fully released from the disease that I wont to work for the Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then HAVE NOT LOST A 8INDLH DAY on account of sickness. I believe the disease is expelled from my system, I always feel well, =1 la good spirits and have a good appetite. I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well as any ono, except that one limb is a little shorter than the other, owinO, to the less el bone, and the sores formerly on ray right leg. To my frierids my recovery seams almost miraculous, and 1 think Hood's Sarsaparilla 19 the king of medicines." WILLiAm A. Loma, 9 N. Railroad St., 'Kendallville, Ind.
