The slailghter of cattle in Kansas City for 10 months ending Oct. 31 amounted to More than `tliree• quarters of a million head; exceeding the killing for the corresponding period of 1892 by almost one-fourth of a million. The Halifax Herald has created a small sensation by informing the public that Sir John Thompson is not a man to be bull- dozed by Sir Charles Tupper over the French treaty. Its. goes so far as to say that even if the two Tappers should resign their positions they could not carry two Maritime Province constituencies with them. This is token to mean that the fend between the Toppers and the Government is serious, that The Herald sides with the Thompson faction, and means to defy the Tappers to their worst. Mr Steen, editor of the Winnipeg Com' mercial, in an interview with the Montrea- Star, said the people of Manitoba are "nn, animus for tariff reform. They do not,' he said, "believe in monopoly. In the oity of Winnipeg there is not a citizen of im- portance who will pose as the ohampion of protection." He expressed the opinion that Mr Hugh Sohn Macdonald's resigna- tion was as mach due to dislike of the Government's policy as to press of private business. Sir John Thompson missed one of the great chances of his political life -time when he failed to pardon Mr Ellis. He knew that the `judgment consigning hie enemy to jail would not have stood if tech- nicalities had not protected it against at- tack in the Supreme Court. He knew that such a sentence would have been reversed by the Privy Counoil. Knowing this, Sir Job.o'Thompson has not added to his fame -by permitting a prinoiple which ought to be dear to every free man to be wounded in the person of an adversary.—Toronto Telegram.

SUPPER. ----Mr Frank Ash- ton, who has lately been in the employ of Mr Thomas Townsend, treated his friendsto an oyster supper, at the resi- dence of White Bros., 2nd con., last Friday night; the usual garnes were engaged in, and a very enjoyable time, was spent. NQTEs.—Plowing is now nearly fin- ished in this vicinit . The usual Hal- lowe'en tricks we not practised this year, nothing be g out of place; it is hoped that this, good order will con- tinue, that other townships and vil- lages may__profit by a good example. Mr James Watters, of Stratford, spent Sunday under the parental roof. Miss Hattie Dodd, of Clinton, spent a few days visiting friends here. Miss Carrie Johns spent Sunday with friends at Holmesville. COUNCIL MEETING.—The council met at Kyle's hotel on Nov. 'let. The chief business was adjusting accounts, of which about 51100 was passed and paid. A petition was presented signed by A. Story and eight others interest- ed in the big ditch; asking to be re- lieved from paying any share of the cost of cleaning out the ditch, on the ground that the work was chiefly above their properties, and therefore of no benefit to them. The council could not grant therayer of the petition, as to do so would be a violation of the pro- visions of the statute made and provid- ed for their guidance. A settlement was effected 'of the.. claim of Mr H. Chesney, for damage to a horse caused by a defective culvert, by paying him $23. The council will meet again at Weber's hotel, Nov. 20th. at 10 o'clock, when it is hoped all outstanding ac- counts will be presented, so that the financial statement of Dec. 14th shall be as full as possible. A few pathmas- ters have faired to return their lists. Without these the gravel accounts are incomplete. S. Smna.nr, Clerk. Goderieh. CYCLING.—A number of the members of our Bicycle Club took a forty-two mile spin on their wheels one day lately, over our fine roads. They went via Clinton and Blyth, and at Man- ehester met some other members of the club, andcame home together. SENTENCED TO PENITENTIARY.—Jn. Walker, the tramp who assaulted Mrs Wm. Sheriff, at St. Helens, recently, was tried before Judge Doyle Monday morning last. The sentence passed upon him was that he be confined in the Provincial penitentiary for theft for three years, for indecent assault three years, for false pretencestwo years, and for personation three years —the sentences to run concurrently. CHURCH.—Victoria street Methodist church is'rejoiciiig"over the success" of its re -opening services, last Sabbath. Large congregations greeted Miss Wil- liams at each service during the Sab- bath, the church being unable to hold the crowds at night, and her addresses were just what might be expected from a sincerely devoted and able young lady like her; she has in the past done good service in the grand cause in which she is engaged, but nowhere were her services More appreciated than here. On Monday, about 300 sat down to the tea served by the ladies, and afterwards listened to excellent speaking and singing in the body of the church. All admired the great im- provements visible in the interior of the church. The expenses of the reno- vating being $225, this sum and about $38 floating debts were asked for by the pastor, and the people responded with over $290. This leaves a surplus, after meeting all liabilities—the first, probably in the history of the church. Revs. J. W. Holmes, Dr tire and J. E. Howell did excsl'refit service Monday night, each 6f'whom were listened to with the greatest of appreciation and interest. Varna PROPERTY CHANGES.—Mr S. A. Mof- fatt has purchased Mr A.Forbes' farm, on the Bayfield road, near Varna, for the sum of $3100; this farm is joining his, and will make about 140 acres, and is a very desirable property. Mr John Torrance, Reeve of Stanley, purchased at the assignees sale of H. Happel, Zurich, a farm of 150 acres with ex- cellent buildings for the sum of 57,000; this is surely a big bargain, the build- ings alone cost nearly that amount; we regret very much at losing such a good citizen as Mr Torrance, but must congratulate the Zurich folks in secur- ing such an estimable gentleman to reside among them. NOTES.—Mr R. McCool, of Harring- ton, paid our town a flying visit last Saturday, looking hale and hearty, Mr Geo. Boyd and Miss Maggie Noble, of Seaforth, spent Sunday last in Var- na. Mr Frank Keyes, our local con- tractor, has just completed shingling the Methodist church; the large and commodious shed of the Methodist church has just been nicely painted, and looks very nice.

Auburn, PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS,—On Mohday evening, Oct, 30th, the Mem- ber and adherents of Smith's Hill con- gregation, to the number of about forty, assembled at the Manse, Au- burn, and presented their pastor, Rev. B. Henderson, and wife, with an ad- dress and a beautiful clock and pastor lamp, as a mark of their appreciation of their latlbrs amongst them and a token of their esteem and regard. The following is the address: To REV. AND MRS. R. HENDERSO{d, DEAR FRIENDS, It was with great pleasure that your many friends in the Smith's lull con- gregation learned that the manse was to be again opened, and that we would be privileged to welcome to our midst, as our pastor's wife one whom we have not to learn to admire and respect, but one who has grown up amongst,us. and whom we already love. As a token of our esteem and affection we present you this clock and lamp, and pray that God may still continue to bless you, both temporarily and spiritually, that together you may long be spared to ad- vance the cause and kingdom of the Mesiah in this portion of the Lord's vineyard, and that here you may win many souls for Christ, which shall shine as stars in your crowns of rejoicing on that day when He comes to make up His jewels. Signed, JOSEPH STALKER, MRS. W. N. HOWELL, G. L. FEROLISON, MARY ROBERTSON, GORDON YOUNG.

Kippen iToo late for last week.) NOT'DEA'D nui' SLEEPING SwbETLY. —One of the readers of the ERA re- marked to your correspondent toot Kippen must be dead, for there was never any news from it in the paper. Not so, my friend, not so 1 Just listen to what I overheard two gentlemen, who were travelling through this sec- tion of country, and taking in the principal towns and cities, say, "This is really a very lively, clean little town, and the people are so sociable. Look at how the station agent looked after our baggage, and took as much inte- rest in hunting up those traps that had gone astray as if they had been his own. It's suprising to see so many shipments made from such a small place. I'd like to put up at e, few more hotels like the Shaffer House; I'm not at all surprised that so many travellers comehere in preference to larger towns; such elegant spreads and every- thing beautifully clean." At this point I had to leave, as 1 had an engagement farther on. NOTES.—Mr Cridmore is shipping large quantities of hay. Mr Shaffer is doing an immense business on the market, buying beef, pork, eggs and almost everything in the farm produce line.

The R. T. of T. are to have their anniversary sermon preached in the Presbyterian church, oh Sabbath next; Mr Henderson, of Hensall, is to preach a rousing sermon on prohibition.

Although young ladies are very scarce in our little village, we very much fear some, are thinking seriously of leaving. Mr. Robt. Elgie, of Tuckersmith, had a sale of farm stock on Tuesday; everything. sold at a very good price; Robert is a, first class fellow, and we are glad tip see him getting along so well. D. C.

The Orange- men had a sermon preached to them by the pastor in the Sharon church in the afternoon. At the meeting of the Quarterly Board, on Monday, it was decided that the pastor would be at Holmesville every Sunday evening in the future, so that instead of being absent at another of the outside ap- pointments every third night, it will be every third morning; thus leaving him home for the night. Hensall HAPPENINGS.—The Royal Templars of this place intend having a grand tea meeting and entertainment this (Thurs- day), evening—particulars next week.

"Mr Snider denies that he has any thought of leaving the Grand Trunk and devot- ing his time entirely to evangelibtic work, as was reported recently.' eHe als that it would injure his`influ ce for good were he to leave tie count.. ando out as an evangelist. i Besides the Grand Trunk has been very kind to him, never having refused him leave of absence for the purpose of preaching.
