The northern contingent lett Clinton about 3 p. m. and arrived at St. Thomas at 8 o'clock. The distance to the camp ground from the depot is probably a mile ants a half. Lynhurst is a very picturesque camping plane, sur, rounded by ravines, woods, shrub• bogy, etc. The 33rd appeared on parade on Wednesday in the after- noon, and have paraded every day up to time of. writing -Saturday noels -from 7,45 to 8.45 and from I0.80 to 12 noon, and from 2.30 to 4.30 p. nr.

Todd is the high chuck a -muck of the Orangemen in that county, and is well known to many of the breth- ren here, who visited Clinton at his invitation a couple of years ago." Lieuts. Combe and Rance are pro- nounced on all hands the "dudes" of the battalion. They are both school men and a great acquisition to the camp. I.ieut Rance was presi- dent ot'the muss at dinner on Thurs. day. lie makes a model president and carries a clerical aspect when he says grace. The callers lit No. 4 tent have been numerous and will increase by the time Tee News•lliteolto goes to press. The several battalions are all friendly and the officers exchange ideas in the evenings. Sergeant Young, No. 4 Co., with ono exception, is credited with being the most proficient N. C. 0. in camp. Bugler Ball has been promoted to Lance Corporal. Ile is a hustler and a credit to the corps and is great- ly admired from the Colonel to the cook. Sergeants Barge and Dennis are efficient and trustworthy and have many duties to perform. Corporals Read, Kerr and Carter are well into line with the senior N. C. O's. Mese Sergeant Y uill, of Wingham, looks after the officer's wants and does his work well. THE NEWS•RECORD arrived in camp Friday and the supply was soon ex- hausted. All were anxious for local news.

Wilson is in camp for the first time with that rank, Capt. Roberts, of Seaforth, is a jolly good fellow, and his sociability is enhanced in that he is a very staunch Conservative. Capt. Hays had a peculiar experi- ence wheu checking his baggage at Seaforth. He is a barrister. A young lady claimed his trunk and wanted it checked for Wiugham. Site could not be perauaded that she was mistaken until Capt. Hays open- ed the trunk, unpacked the contents, and asked the lady to don a brave "Boger" uniform and come to camp. The Capt. is still single but is now away on leave of absence. The Carlow company, under come mend of Capt. Young and Lieut. Houston, did not arrive until Wed- nesday evening. Major Vercoe re, ported Friday afternoon. Dr. Shaw is ono of the happiest officers in camp. He has been on duty, so report says, in and out of the lines all week. He is much taken up with the city and the sur- rounding natural scenery. The march out, sham battle and review day, and the day at the butts, will take up a good portion of the week.

ELECTRIC LIGDTNING.-It seems to be agreed that the system of light. ing business places and residences with electric lights iP commending itself by reason of its sanitary ad- vantages. Physicians now declare that much of the throat affection and diptheria is canned by emana- tions thrown off by -coal oil as burn- ed in ordinary lamps. An exchange remarks about the advantages of electric lighting : - It enables women and men to see what they are buying and get the worth of their money; the electric light en- ables them to buy et night as well as day, and in many instances far bettor. What is the good of itn- monse plate glace windows, if they are so banked up with goods as to shut out all daylight from the in- side, except what comes through the door i Selfish, cunning and greedy dealers fill up their windows with best kinds of dry geode, ostensibly for show ; the real object is to darken their goods, and enable them to palm off shoddy and inferior goods on the simple, unwary and unsuspecting. Those dealers make up in palaver and flattery what their goods lack in quality ; they do business in dark, dingy shops, use mise cable smoking,eickening lamps. Poor, cheap coal oil, half consumed, emit; an odor at once offensive, depressing and hurtful. At one time only corporations or wealthy companies could afford to use the electric light ; seventy-five cente or otie dollar a night per lamp was rjitTfe .it' IAic "fdl'' linty . R.

There are 34,310 native voters in Chicago ; 19,334 of Irish birth ; 22,961 of German birth; 5,581 of Euglish birth and 4,345 of Cana- dian birth, out of a total vote of 161,945. The Glole said the other day that he first froat in Mani.oba this year ,vas felt at a place called Cartwright, his is according to the eternal tnoss of things. The filet political cost felt this year in Ontario was ey a party called Cartwright. That very gritty sheet called Grit, is not always, though generally,wrong. It is right when it compares the manly course of the Dominion Government with the closed doors, whitewashing business of '.t!r. Mowat's Govern- ment. A lawyer now living and practic- ing at Rat Portage wants to he tip - pointed a commissiouer etc. He was sworn in at 'Toronto and is on the barrister's roll is "W, 13. Thibodo." When he went west he did business as Thibeadeau. He will not apply in his real name of Thibodo, and now purposes to ask Parliament to legalize his using the name Thibeadeau• Of the total Canadian exports from 1874 to 1890 eighty one per cont went to the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Last year 83 per cent of Canadian exports wont to Britain and colonies. This is most excellent proof that had we com- mercial unions with the various parts of the Empire we would nut need to care much how foreign countries restricted their trade with 08, as the United Statoe have dove. The American Agriculturist figures out that the product of cereals in the United States this year will be ; corn 2,000,000,000 bushels, wheat 500,000,000, oats 622,000,000. It is obvious that re- ciprocity in grain between Canada and the United States would not give ua a market for our surplus. The only effect reciprocity would have would he:to divert a portion of the immense surplus farm products of the United States to Canada and compel our farmers to accept a less price than they now get for what they sell for honto consumption. Grip is endeavoring to cast its baleful influence over the Conserva- tive party. It says : "Tho Con- servative leaders at Ottawa deserve Grip's warmest praise for the gener• ally straightforward and above boat d course it is pursuing in bringing to light the various boemirchmente on its own escutcheon. Anyhow the course followed at Ottawa stands out in bold contrast with that pur- sued some years ago by the Govern- ment of this Province when boodle• ments and booklements had to be investigated. On that occasion the enquiry was made with closed doors -the evidence was never. print5tlx and the euepect„epas,e.,,„,,. heat i ly whitewashed. Abbott and Thompson will loso nothing by the manly course they are new taking." -The ornpe in Fnpland and Sortland, are ball ruined by -heavy rain.
