To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. Thursday last being a very wet day, I thought it would be a good. time to visit the Legislature. It is not every day one can get a comfortable seat, but there were empty galleries, yet a full attendance of members. I wondered what was np that the government side especially was so complete. After a season of making mo- tions, presenting petitions and reading bills for the first time, which was" very tiresome, the House went into committee of supply. Balfour takes the chair, and the members say "Mr Speaker" no longer, but the fa• miller "Mr Chairman" is heard for the time being. The chairman is a little black fellow, lame and smart. He is an old hand at the business, and any one could see that he had a tender inclination to- wards the government. ' He calls out "so many thousand dollars to Her Majesty in the department of Public Works." A moment passes, no critic 'seems to rise, "carried," is on the tongue of the chair- man. "Hold on," shouts Meredith; "don't be in snob a hurry," and the. little chair- man feels the rebuke. Fraser gets up to explain the increase in the amount pro- posed for this department. He wishes to give all his clerks an increase of salary, making, the entrance into the new build- ings a 'jubilee year" for his department. Heretofore he has refrained from asking such increases. Wood, for the Opposition,. gives Fraser credit for this, and the item passes heartily. So much now is named for Crown Lands' department, and brings Hardy to his feet. He is afraid of no body, and is a dangerous man to attack. Wood and Clancy both asked hind . sortie polite questions, which he answers good naturedly. There seems to be no fault to find or they think the best way is to leave him alone. The Educational department, under Ross, seems to be in good shape. The critics find very little objection to the expense, and he gets his cash. In the Treasury department there were severalfinoreases in salary asked fdr, one particularly, to the assistant Treasurer— Cameron, formerly' of Lucknow, a little dust was apparent here. Why not keep him at the same salary the Opposition said, "He has been very few years in the service." But Harcourt, who sits behind Mowat, keeps his head, and as a sharp thrust across the floor points them to other financial institutions in the city as the only safe guide as to the salary at issue. This item passed. Gibson, of Hamilton, has now to answer for his department. It would seem as if he were more vulnerable than the others, probably he leaves himself open to attack. He is no less able than his colleagues; speaks fairly well too, though not so fluent- ly by half as Rose, Hardy or Fraser. He gives an open explanation and this pro- bably less captions. He was battered and tormented even until six o'clock, to be re- vived afterwards, and it was all about ap- pointing a new inspector in the Central Prison -and similer_places. _He . could.not very well state the exact duties of the ap- pointee, nor yet state whether he was be called inspector, foreman or general handy man around these institutions, and here he was attacked. Whitney would pose as a critic, but .can easily be shoved over. Sol. White too, is a tormentor. If he were egnally:kvell posted, with his persist- ent speakingi he,. would be a worthy foe - man in the. House. By the way, he took Garrow to tank, speaking after him on the Budget the other night; I happened to hear both speakers, an anfairer criticism could scarcely have been made. Garrow left during it, probably to ignore it. Clancy deserves credit for making the best of an attack on the item previously mentioned. He does good service to the province as a critic, and with Meredith, possesses the mental proportions of the Opposition, Six o'clock arrived during Rose' speech in answer to White. Meredith repeatedly calls the time, and the speaker is seen coming from hie quarters to ad- journ the House. HCRONIeN. Toronto, April 21st. "BLACK BEAUTY." To E1te•Dditor of the Clinton New Era. 753; trMn EnrxoR:—Some days ago I chriV614 to see your interesting paper, and waifi read to notice you were giving your. 'read` 'we treat in the beautifully written story of "Black Beauty" as a serial. The writer, Anna Sewell, will ever be held in loving remembrance as one of the noblest women, and a true benefactor of the ani- mal creation. I earnestly hope that every one will read it, and trust it may be the means of causing thoughtless people to have compassion for our dumb friends— particularly the most abased but noblest of all—the horse. Parents and teachers are in a great measure responsible for that lack of sym- pathy among children, and it would surely be a great benefit ifs "Band of Mercy" were organized in connection with every public school, es recommended by the "To- ronto EN mane Soolety," Dr. Talmage in his sermon 'on "/tome's CO1ops®nm," eve, "The ortlelties of the Church Notes.

His work will be local- ly supplied for him. Rev. W. Smyth will preach in Dub- lin St. church, Guelph, on Sunday next, his work here being supplied by Mr Gilpin, of Bayfield. Rev. J. E. Howell will conduct quarterly services in the Varna Metho- dist church, on Sunday next. Rev. Geo. McKinley of Hensel!, will take Mr Howell's work in Goderich. Rev. J. Walker Shilton, B. A., (and Rev. Dr. Potts) will deliver the educa- tional addresses at the Guelph Con- ference next June. Rev. Mr Smythe is slated for an evangelistic address. , A union meeting of the young people of Rattenbury and Ontario street churches, was held in the rooms of the former on Monday evening, the ser- vices being in charge of the members from Ontario street. Rev. Mr Wood, the new rector of St. Paul's church, 1V,iargham, conduct- ed the services on Sunday Last. His discourses were of a most practical nature, and were greatly appreciated by his congregations. Messrs Crossley & Hunter held a service in North St. Methodist'church, Goderich, Wednesday evening, in con- nection with the receirtir,ii of members into full connection. The evangelists gave suitable addresses to the occasion. A Granton corresponden t says: -The Rev. Mr Smythe, of Clinton, lectured in, the Granton Methodist church, on Tuesday evening, to a large and en- thusiastic audience. The lecture was very much appreciated, and Mr Smyth will be warmly welcomed should he visit Granton again. Messrs Crossley snd Hunter, the well- known evangelists, were passengers on the train to Goderich on Wednesday afternoon. Interviewed as to the pos- sibility of coming to Clinton to hold services, they admitted their willing- ness to come here some time next fall, provided arrangements were made by the two Methodist churches for union services. Next Sunday Rev. Mr Ayers, of Holmesville circuit, (who had arrang- ed to be away) will, however, take hes own work as follows, preaching at Holmesville in the morning, Sharon in the afternoon and administering sacra- ment, and at Ebenezer in the evening, (Rudd's appointment.) There will also be service at Holmesville in the even- ing. THE PIPE ORGAN.—Word has been received from Messrs R. S. Williams & Son, the builders of the Pipe Organ, for the Ratten bury St. Methodist Church, that they are waiting the arrival of the French pipes to complete the organ The pipes were shipped on the 18th inst., and are expected to be in Oshawa next week, so that the organ will likely be placed in the church about the 1st of June. The ministerial examinations at the Ra,tterid,ury St: church; held last week, were concluded on Thursday evening last. On Wednesday evening Rev. Dr. Williams, of Mount Forest, gave a homiletic criticism on the sermons of the young men, and on Thursday ev- ening Revs. Messrs Richardson and Willoughby addressed the young men. Rev. Mr Chown afterwards presented certificates to the young men who had passed their exartrinations. A very cordial vote of thanks was tendered the people of Clinton, for courtesies shown the examiners while here, all speaking in the highest terms of their treatment. BIRD SHOOTERS, BEWARE.—Many boys in this vicinity, are in the habit of using air -guns for the purpose of killing small birds, and the authorities should puta stop to it. Do nut those who offer these air -guns for sale know that it is illegal, that they are liable to a heavy fine for sellinglthem, and every- one veryone of those air -guns may beconflscated by the authorities? Every boy or man who is found with an air -gun, even if he is not killing birds, can be fined for having such gun in his possession, so both merchants and boys should take warning, for chapter 1.48 of the Dom- inion statutes makes carrying air -gens an imprisonable offence, The boy who shoots birds with slims or air -guns does not do so because lie is vicious or cruel, or because he has any spite against the birds. He does it becaues he is filled with impulses which he cannot himself explain, andbecause the restless acti- vities of his nature are always seeking some kind of a vont. Most boys admire the plumage and song of birds, and would be very sorry if the feathered nest -builders were never seen on our trees. Why, then, do they hunt them with such eagerness, wounding, killing and driving them from their chosen haunts? The boys themselves cannot answer this question. No one juvenile bird hunter in twenty could, If pinned down to it;, give any reason whatever • for engaging in the cruel Tar of ex. termination, NSW SRA zumr a: NOTE$ groat :and snow ,4040 One. considerable danaage inthe western States within the last week. . >air Saudieou, the borsaeza farmer, Bran- don, Men, has started to put ie a orop, of 7,000 acre's of wheat.

In October last Mrs F. Grayburn was taken ill in the office of a local lawyer, Mr T. F. Nellie. Mr Nellis sent for a medical man to attend to Mrs Grayburn. The doctor sent his account to Nellie, who disputed payment, contending that Mrs Grayburn ought to pay it. The judge decided that Nellis was liable for the fees of the medical man, as he had summon- ed him. Many cattle exporters met at Toronto on Tuesday, to confer with British cattle importers in reference to restric- tions at present imposed on the Canadian cattle trade. Among those who ad- dressed the cattleman was Thos. Swan, of J. Swan & Son, Glasgow, and John Marks, a prominent agriculturist of Edinburg. Both gentlemen expressed full confidence in Canadian cattle. They bad never seen any pleuro -pneumonia affections in Canadian beeves, and thought they were the healthi- est brought to the British markets. By resolution the exporters expressed their be. lief in the entire absence of the infection in Canadian cattle. AND NO baby Carriage !

At a meeting of D'Alton McCarthy's sup- porters in Toronto, on Monday, the follow- ing resolution was carried unanimously:— "That we proceed to form ourselves into an association to support the principles enun- ciated by D'Alton McCarthy, M.P., in his late speeches in Parliament and in the Aditorium in this city." It is learned at B,ideau Hall that His Excellency the Governor-General ie deeply grieved and not at all well owing to the worry caused by hie sou'e continued illness, followed by the illness and death of his brother, His Excellency the Earl of Derby. Do RIGHT ANYHOW.—Don't always be worrying about what people say of you, _ No matter what you say or what you do the action will be different in Entering into particulars, he says: "Why, not to speak at all of the counties in the eastern section of the Province below the city, there are places within nine miles cf Quebec which were once thickly populated and comfortable, if not prosperous, where every honse for miles along the roadside has its windows and doors boarded up, the owners having within the last three, years emigrated to the United States, and no one having since replaced them. A large por- tion of the Irish Catholic settlements of St. Catherine, in Portnenf; Valcartier and Stoneham, in Quebec county; Frampton and Cranbonrne, in Dorchester, and St. Sylvestre, jn Lobiniere, have also been bodily transplanted to Vermont and New Hampshire, Californa, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin within the last ten years or so, and it is only a question of"tithe when ilia remainder will be driven to follow, if the present state of things in different eyes..

Joseph Robinson, a wealthy farmer and local preacher in the vicinity of Leam- ington, has lost some of his confidence in human nature. Last Saturday nighta man with a clerical cast of features called at his home, represented himself es a preacher and said that he'was on his way to Berlin. He was very tired; would Mr Robinson help a brother in distress and allow him to re• main for the night ? The repuest was readily granted and for several hours the two talked of spiritual things and debated deep questions of theology. At 10 o'clook there was a knock at the door. The new comer was a man. He wanted to see a clergyman, as be and hid companion, a young woman, were anxious to be married. ':Why," said Mr Robinson, "we have a preacher right here in the house, and if you have a license he can join you." The anx- ions couple gladly entered the house and the alleged theologian went through the usual form of words. Of.conrse there bad to be witnesses. Mr and Mrs Robinson consented to act in that capacity and promptly affixed their signature to a docu- ment which they supposed was a marriage certificate. The happy couple then depart- ed, giving the clergyman $25 for his pains. The latter remained all night and he was so grateful for the kindness of Mr and Mrs R binson that Ise presented each of them with a crisp $5 bill. A week elapsed and Wednesday the genial host was surprised to received a telegram from the Windsor bank to the effect that an if 325 note of his had just been discounted there. Mr Robin- son was very much surprised, but ho at once went to Windsor and it soon dawned upon him very forcibly that the marriage cer- tificate he had signed was nothing more nor less than a promissory. dote. As for, the preacher and Bridal conple,•it le believed alit etre Detrt* crake and ati attempt For thirteen years the manufacturers of this country have had it all their own way with the Government. They have been an oligarchy at whose behests and in whose interests the people of Canada have been taxed. For thirteen years they have been running np to Ottawa and demanding that new taxes be laid or old ones increased for their benefit, and the Government has, during that long period, steadily consider- ed their demands and increased the taxa- tion until at last the oppressed taxpayers show signs of rebellion. Now, the Gov- ernment, frightened by the rebellion, have, in order to save their places, not because they have changed their principles at all, declared their intention to reduce the tariff. Before doing so, however, they asked for time to make enquiries throughout the country. One would naturally suppose that the enquiries would be made of those who complained of the tariff and who have compelled the Government to promise con- cessions. The, farmers who in Canada form the vast body of the consumers, the artisans and laborers, the merchants are the classes who have suffered from the op- pression of the tariff. Yet they are the very people who are not to be consulted by the Finance Minister. Indeed the Gov- ernment organs have informed the people that Mr Foster does not intend to be inter- viewed by people having grievances against the tariff. Only the manufacturers who are in favor of the high protection tariff against which the people are rebelling, are to be allowed to present their needs and interoete to Mr Foster. That ie very nice ' for the Government or rather for Mr Fos- ter and his colleagues who will hear no- thing against their beloved policy of pre• tection, but will, on the contrary, be as- sured that the country is prosperous and contented, and that what ie really needed is not a'reduction of the tariff but an in- crease in its duties.—Montreal Witness.
