FRIDAY, FEB. 5th Complimentary —or otherwise. _ The order has been made to Mr J. J.'S-rm. kills, through the Conservative organizer for Birminghan, to take the field in West Huron against Mr M. 0, Cemeron. John Joseph is used to defeat and doesn't mind it. He will consequently consent, in allprobability, to again becoming a victine—Stratford Beacon. ' Organizer Birmingham has fixed on Mr J. J. Hawkins, of Brantford, to contest West Huron in the Consrvative interest. Mr Hawkins may obey the order with docility, but that doesn't go for much. The electors of West Huron are to be reckoned with, and Mr Hawkins may rest assured that Jim•Stephensing is not a kind of political tactics to be frequently repeated. If Mr Cameron is to have opposition, how- ever, John Joseph will probably be as good a nuili to set up to be bowled over as any other. And he is not likely to worry over it either.—Hamilton Times. The Goderich Star denies that -111r Hawkins' name was ever mentioned at the convention. This May be true, and he might still become the candi- date. The Liberals of West Huron, as con- stituted for Dominion purposes, will meet in annual convention, in Dungan- non, on Friday, Febritari5th, at 11 a. tn The election ofetlicers .and other bu- siness will be transacted. .A candidate to contest'the corning election, will also I be selected. Every subdivision is en- titled to send three representatives.— Let there be a -full attendance. A. H. MANNING, President. The Wardenship.' We congratulate Mr John Torrance, Reeve of Stanley, on his elevation to the Warden's chair for the current year.i There are older men in the council than Mr Torrance, but there are few, if any, whose selection to the position would be more acceptable to all the members of the council. The duties of , the position are not very onerous, .but will, nevertheless, tie well discharged by the new incumbent. The Reconstructed Cabinet. ' On Monday, Mr J. C. Patterson, ex - M. P. for North Essex, entered the Dominion Cabinet, and with the changes previously announced, the Cabinet is complete as follows:— Prime Minister and President of the Privy Council—John Joseph Caldwell Abbott. Minister of Justice—Sir John Thompson. Minister of Public Works—Joseph A. Ouimet. Minister of Customs—Joseph Adolehe Chapleau. . Minister of Finance—George E. Foster. Minister of Railways and Canals —J elm G. He.ggart. Minister of Militia and Defense—Mac- kenzie Bowel'. Minister of Agriculture—John Carling Minister of Inland Revenue—John Cos. tigan eff Secretary of State—James Colebrook Patterson. Minister of Marine and Fisheries— Charles Tupper. Postmaster General—Sir Adolphe Car- on.' Minister of the' Interior—Edgar Dewd- ney. Without Portfolio—Frank Smith. This is not the re -organization that a good many people looked for, as it was generally expected that some of the old merribers of the ministry would retire. Why Mr Patterson, who was defeated at the last election, was taken into the Cabinet, is a mys- tery to most people, and is equivalent to saying that no member of the House Was suitable for the position. That the changes are not giving satisfaction to even the Conservatives is shown by the following extract from the editor- ial columns of that statinch Conserva- tive paper, the Hamilton Spectator:— "If the cabinet changes announced on Monday were announced as a finality they would be received by the country with more than a little dissatisfaction. • * We are unable to see that the acces- sion of /Mr Patterson, of Essex, will strengthen the government. That gentle- man entered parliammit in 1878 and served with fair ability but without making any great impression upon the country until he was defeated last year." It was generally thnught that Mr Meredith would enter the:Cabinet, and, ft is generally hinted that he will do so yet, after the Quebec elections are over, his well-known opposition to the Oath- olics,Theingsonsidered a barrier to his elevation, until danger is passed. The Cabinet is net strong, as regards, ,mqrs al sentiment, but doubtless will he effective for all practical purposes, and that is evidently all that politicians care for nowadays. How Farmers Might Amend •fheir Circumstances- • -- There was a meeting of the Farmers' Institute in tqwn last week. A unin- ber of farmers attended it a good many remained away, all present re- ceived some profit from the discus- sion e that took place, because no one can listen to the practical ex- perience of other farmers without get- ting light and information. By at- tending these meetings good only can be the result to the individual. The man who stays away loses informa- tion that he might otherwise obtain free of cost. Often it may be infor- mation that could be obtained in no other way, and it can be laid down as an undeniable fact, that the man who acts upon the information he thus de- rives will be,a better farmer bY reason of it, and will get a better return for his labor. This is one way by which farmers may amend their circumstances. There is another that is no harder to put in practice. Let him sit :down and do a little so( lid thinking. Study the* Trade and Navigatien returns; study the market reports; look into the cost of govern- ment; investigate the various public questions; aelk himself whether it is easier to sell an article to a man who lives only a few miles away, or to one I i wing several thousand. Let him state what earthly use it is to keep custom officers on 3,000 miles of Canadian frontier. If the farmer looks at these questions and gives them some thought, he will probably arrive at a conclusion that will be of profit to him; a conclu- sion that will put money into his poc- ket. And what is of equal importance, it will not cost him any morejhan his time to gain the knowledge. Here are two ways whereby farmers may amend theft circumstances. The opportunity to use the one is :past for the present. The opportunity to use the second is ever present. The Conservatives' of Lendon ere' seemingly "in a hole" at present. They gave nut that Mr John Carling was to be their candidate for the bye -election, but this was evidently not satisfactory and the Free Press then put forth a whining appeal for Mr Meredith, in- timating that the salvation of the party in the city depended on his going into the Cabinet, and with his prestige, redeeming the constituency. But he did not go into the Cabinet, and wisely refuses to sacrifice a lucrativeactice for the chance of getting a seat at Ottawa. The probabilities are that Mr Carling will be,"Hobson's choice," and evenConservatives admit that his defeat is a foregone conclusion. West Huron, it is said, was also offered to Mr Meredith, but if he will not accept his native city, he is not likely to face certain defeat in a strange riding. The Commercial Travellers' Associa- tion ofOntario has shown its sympathy with temperance sentiment by issuing a circular urging its Members to dis- eountenance the treating habit. Now let the 'traveller? themselves live up to this circular, and'MIA* go d Iti.4 he the result. West Huron Farmers' Institute. The regular Jannary meeting of the West Huron Farmers' Institute was held in Clinton, on January 221id and 23rd. The speakers present were Jelin I. Hobson, W. J. Palnaer, B.S., A. McD. Allen, R: McMillan, D. D.Wilson, John Hannah and others. The meetingcommenced on Friday afternoon, and was addressed by John I. Hobson, Robt. McMillan, D. D. Wil- son and A. McD. Allan. The addresses were pointed and practical, and were attentively listened. to. Mi. McMillan gave a splendid address op ensillage for winter feeding, showing how much cheaper it is to feed cattle on ensilage than any other way. The evening meeting was not very well attended, on account of other attractions. Mr D. Forrester was elected chairman, and spoke of the loss the farmers sustained by not attending the Farmers' Insti- tutes and gaining by the experience of others. The xnusicaPpart of the pro- gram was given byG. F. Oakes, assist- ed by other s, and judging by the way each piece was received, it was much appreciated by those present. Mr Hob- son addressed the meeting on....Mrecul- tural depression, and gave some of the reasons. why farmers are not getting as good returns as forinerly. Mr Palmer also spoke on "A peep int o the unseen world around us,' explaining the different causes of disease in man- kind and the animal. Mr Allan spoke (by request) on fruit, for a few minutes. explaining the position different apples held in both the home and foreign market, giving their value and keeping qualities. Mr Wilson also spoke on the apple, and told some facts which he saw in Great Britian, regarding the selling of the apple. CM the second day the meeting was opened at 10 a.m., by the President.. After some routine business, Mr Hobson spoke on "Sum- mer fallowing versus green crops," ex- plaining the advantages of one over the other. He favored the growing of rape for the fattening of lambs in the fall. The afternoon meeting was pre- sided over by Henry Morris in the ab- sence of the President. Air Palmer spoke on the testing of milk, explain- ing the different methods psed,... and the-derreetheiErtif the- feat Mr- Hob- son spoke on "Farm yard manure," telling of some ways in which he found it best to use manure. also in the sav- ing of same. Mr Jon Hannah spoke on the shipping of butter to foreign markets, showing the price which good would command. Mr Allan gave an address on small fruits for prcfit, naming the different varieties which were the most profitable to the grower. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:—Wm. Bailie, Pres.; Henry Morris, 1st Vice Pres.; D. For- rester, 2nd Vice Pres.; W. N. Howell, Sec.-Treas. The Directors appointed were:—W.Weir, A. Macmurchie, Clin- ton; Jas. Cornish, Jas. Snell, Hullett; H. Elford, James Connolly, Goderich township; Alex. Saunders, Mr Tom, Goderich; John Dustow, Norman Ker- ninghan, Colborne; Mr Anderson. Jn. Mallough, Ashfield; W. P. Grierson, Chas. Washington, West Wawanosh; Thos. Brown, R. Currie, E.Wawanosh; M. McQuarrie, C. Hamilton, Blyth; J. A. Morton, John Hannah, Wingham. J. A. Mallough and Jos. Heathermgton ,were appointed auditors. Henry Mor- ris was appointed delegate to the Cen- tral Institute. The President of the Institute, Mr W. Bailie, of the Nile, is one of the most highly respected farm- ers of West Huron ; keen, intelligent and with a good mental grasp of all questiobs affecting the interests of the, fanner,' while no better person could fill the position of Secretary than the young gentleman who does so—Mr W. N. Howell, of Colborne. A Deserved Testimonial. When Mr James Turnbull retired from the Principalship of the Clinton Collegiate Institute, the Board passed a resolution relating theretio, but Mr Turnbull's illness prevented the formal presentation of the address. He being in town this week, the board availed themselves of the opportunity, and presented Mr Turnbull with the follow- ing testimonial. suitably engrossed, which speaks for itself:— Moved. by Robert Coats, seconded by Horace Foster, That upon the occasion of the sever- ance of the official tie which has so long existed between this Board and James Turnbull, Esq., B.A., the retiring Prin- cipal of the Institute, the Board desires ea place upon record its appreciation of the valuable services which he has rendered to the cause of higher educa- tion, during his long and honorable career as a teacher in this town. The Board desires to acknowledge that a large measure of the prominence of the Clinton Collegiate Institute, as a seat of learning, is due to the ability, learn- ing and tact of Mr Turnbull, who, for nearly a quarter of a century, has giv- en his attention to its advancement Receiving the appointment to the Prin- cipalship of the Grammar School, on the 3rd April, 1868, and entering upon the duties of the office on the 15th April, 1868, two years; after its .eatab- lishment, he brought to its manage- mhnt the benefits of good scholarship and a vigorous manhood, Which soon manifested itself in an • creased atten- • . . . , donee. The School was under his sole management until the year 1872, when the first assistant was appointed; it was found necessary to obtain a second assistant a few years afterwards; in 1878 a third was added, and in 1882 the number of the staff Was increased th five, at which number it has remained iintil the present. During the twenty- two years of Mr Turnbull's Principal- ship there has been a steady increase in the attendance., In June, 1866, a few months after the &opening of the school, the number, on the roll was re- ported to be 19; in January, 1869, seven months after Mr Turnbull had taken charge, the number had increased to 36; in the first term of 1879 the roll re- cords the names of 66; in 1884, of 73; in 1888, the year in which the School was raised to the status of a po1legiate In- stitute, the attendancevas reported as 129, and in the first term of the pre- sent year it was 130. The Board ear- nestly hopes that Mr- .,Turnbull may long live to enjoy a well earned rest from active duty, Assured that his en- joyment will be enhanced by the sec - cess in life of the many citizen's who have received a part of their training under his direction. It is further res. solved that a copy of this resolution, signed by the Chairman and Seceetary, wi thlthe official seal attached, be handed to Mr Turnbull.— Carried.

ONE NIGHT'S EXPERIENCE IN A Ho- TEL.—Did you ever try to sleep in a hotel where lady guests were to retire after attending a hall? If not, try it once, and I will bet one dollar to a doughnut you will feel somewhat dis- gusted with the thoughtlessness dis- played. In the fore part of the night everything is in apple pie order for a good night's rest, but woe unto you when the expected guests arrive! First you hear the hall door open, and then tramp, tramp, tramp, stamp, stamp, stamp; and then ge-he-he-he, and the giggle, giggle, giggle, and then, "Nell, I did not like her dress." "Neither did I." "The music was grand." "He is a lovely fellow to dance." Then more chatter, as if a hundred geese and gos- lins were at the edge of it pond fishing after green frogs. Then it is good-bye and all is quiet. Men, as a rule, go to bed without scarcely speaking, they exhausted all their small chat while marching in the ball room.

Clinton DEAR S1R,—Owing to sickness being very prevalent in our midst, and so' many of the bread earners laid aside, although the ladies of the different churches have been giving some need-, ful assistance to many, there is gre diffictilty in poor persons gettin&w.o d at reasonable rates. Most otthe loads corning onto the market for sale cost four or five dollars to buy them, and that is more than some- poor women can raise; and the wood is cut in so many lengths. I have seen some pay the same price for 18 inch wood as for 22 inch. wood, not knowing -any better... if If they go to the wood yards they get their measure, but the extreteammg and profit costs fifty cents a cord more. Can any one suggest how the poor can get their wood as cheap as others. W. C. SEARLE. BORN COSENS.—In Tuckeremitb, on the 23rd inst., the wife of Mr Abner Cousins, of a son.
