James G. Blaine is dead. He was certainly a powerful figure in American politica and a great strength to the Ire• publican party. Mr. Blaine had always been a foe to Canada, untiring and at certain times consistent. But in the relations between the two coun- tries one of the serious eompliciotiona has been removed in the death of J arses G. Blaine. Mr. T. H.

Kearns Tent No. 66 has not been organized a very lung time, but it has a good reputetiuo so far, is doing a good work, and will surely continue to prosper in such e good and uuble cause. Promptly at 8 o'clock the chairman, .ler. A. M. 'Todd, of Clinton, took the choir. The openirg ode of the Order was given, Miss Nott presiding at the organ. The chairman explained the objects of the Maccahee Order briefly anti said the Grand Officers would address a public m8eting on the ea1De line more fully in the near future. Mr. J. Carter's magic l•tntern exhibition gave general aatiefactiou. N. tjrich's in9tfnmelltal was applauded. A dialogue, "Ramey in search of a situation," by Metiers. Crich and Britton, received hearty apptov.d. A song by M iss N. Nutt was loudly encored and responded to, The mouth organ selection by H. Johns, with Mr. Crich at the organ, was deservedly encored. •Mr, 11. Watters gave a reading in good feint, while Mr. Britton's song:moved the crowded house Rehding, Mr. 11. Juhna. There was a spendid dialogue entitled "rhe Awful Boots," the performers being Mies Nutt. and Messrs Crich, Layton and Britton. The moral to bo drawn is that a faint heart never won a fair )ally. hiss Nott was the fair lady and Mr, Britton had, in the play, a heart stout, enough to win her as a life partner. Mt'. W. Harland, with Miss Andrews 8t the orgln, gnve a ao.rg in 1)18 u8u8l good form anti was loudly encored. Mr, A. Cozens gave a recitation with a moral that all people, including rho old farmer, are sharpers, and his res sponse to a well merited encore re- newed the applause. Miss A. O'Brien's instrumental was also applauded. Mr, Britton's song caused him to appear a second time. Addison John's reading was greatly appreciated. "Marrying a Poetess" was a dialogue, Mr. Ira Johns, at the age of 50, being anxious to wed, Miss Nott, G. Leyton and three or foul' little folks also took part and each, individually, took their part exceedingly well. Master Fred Gitroy'a recitation, "Bairnie8, Cuddle I)oou," was one of th'e best juvenile pioduc• tions of the evening and he was loudly encored. Mr. Harland's song, "He Never Camo Back," created unbounded mirth and was responded to by a second song. G. Layton gave a read• ing and Fred Gilroy sang "The Land o' the Leal." An instrumental by Mr. N. Cric)r practically brought the long programme to a close. The chairmen thanked all who attended and for maintaining their reputation in keep- ing good order ; he also thanked all who took part in the programme and so materially helped to make the affair such a grand success. The closing ode of the order brought the gathering to a successful apd harmonious close at about 11 o'clock. Robert Fuirbairn'e sale last Friday was a complete success. Milch cows ruts as high as $59 and everything else in proportion. Mr. Fairbnirn will leave for Manitoba shortly, where ho will reside.

Ifonorahlc•Oentlemen of the Senate; Geatlemon of the douse of Commons :— lu aloetin'* you at, the co111nlence- llleni o, 1\I\li'.!:,`•1` Aesslorl of Parliament it affords me pleasure to congratulate you on the continued progress which the history of the past year unfolds with I'egard to Canada. The increase in trade, as illustrated by the exports and imports, dewing the period for which the official returns have been prepared, has been most gratifying, and that increase has con- tinued down to the present time, with promise that the volume of trade during the current year will exceed that of any year in the history of the Domin- ion. The revenues of the country have likewise provided for all the services for which Parliament has made appro- priation and the operation of the Gov- ernment railways htas heel) less burden- some as regards the difference between income tante expenditure than has been the case for •tL long terms of years pre- viously. In Manitoba and the North-west Territories the increase in immigra- tion has been decidedly encouraging, both a4 regrads the number of persons who have come from other countries incl as regards the number of home- stead entries 'vide by settlers of all nationalities. Measures have hien taken to carry into effect the agreements arrived at with the United States 00 the subjects of the boundary of Alaska, the boun- dary line in Passamlaquoc'dy Bay and the prevention of destructive methods of fishing and the prescrt'ation and in- crease of fish life. With regard to reciprocity in wreck- ing and towing, a etaTespunden('1' has taken place which indicates that, privi- leges are demanded for United States vessels in Canadian canals which were not anticipated, but, it is not impossible that a satisfactory conclusion of the discussion May yet be reached. During the recess, n. friendly confer- ence took place between delegates from my Govt'rnnment. and froml the Government of Newfoundland, on the uu c of the united Sa ea were linable to accept the suggestions tonie by ply (.iote1'Ilu.tetlt on the subject of coma tolls, and that the President slturdd It tvt+ thought it necessary to iu peso exut' It ionatolls on Canadians using the Sault Sainte Marie Canal,whieh has so lung been free to the people of both couutries. My Government, while ready to consider in a friendly spirit any proposals which may bo made by the government of the United States. have caused efforts to be made to° (hasten the completion of the Canadian canal works, which will soon afford to the commerce of the Dominion a Iligh- ( Ity within our own country. Measures will be laid before you for the improvement of the Franchise Act; ter the atuenchnentof the laws relating t i civil service and the superannu- ation of civil servants; for regulating the admission of evidence in causes and matter's andel' the control of the Parliament of Canada; fol' extending the system of voting by ballot to the North-west Territories, and for simple Tying the laws relating to lands and land transfers in the Territories.

'fele Twenty First annual Sunday School Convention ot the County of Huron was held in Blyth on 'Tuesday anti Wednesday of last week. The first sessions were held in the Presby- terian church, ltev. W. 1' Campbell, Ph. D., acting as President, owing to the absence ot Mr. \V. 11. Kerr,' who teas attending the County Council. A goodly number of delegates arrived by the IU:2,3 a. m. train, at which a rig was in waiting to convey them to the Pres- byterian church, where they were billeted to the different homes in Blyth. The first s salon opened at 1:..30 p, m.,' with devotional exereiaes, after which Rev. A. L. Russell, of Exeter, gave an addr eis on " Some Features ot lnter- modiato Sunday `011001 Work " The subject was handled in excellent style, which showed the speaker to be well up in Sunday School matters. '1'ho subject on the programme to be taken up by Rev. J. II. Simpson, of Brucelield, wt)s handled by Mr. \V. M. Gray, of Seaforth, owing to Mt'. Simpson being unavoidably absent. This was followed by Mr. D.D. Wilson, of Seaforth, who gave a rousing address on " flow to Encourage and I nprove the Sunday School StatlY Mr. Wilson suggested as one method a more friendly spirit among teachers and officers, and laid groat stress on Normal School work as a means of improvement. Rev. Mr. Higley gave words of wel- come to delegates, and Rev. Dir. Hughes, of Winghani, replied during the evening session. Mr. Houston, M. A., of Clinton, although not on tho programme, gave a splendid address during the evening session, on " Aima in Sunday School Work," which was followed by.Rev. Mr. Ross, o[. Brussels, who gave a pointed and practical address on "The Relation of Young People's Societies to the Sun- day School." .. The last speaker during the evening session was Rev. .1. S. Henderson, of Hensall. His subject was, " The Greatest Need in the Sunday School World." It is needless to say that the reverend gentleman did justice to his subject, and impressed most favorably on his hearers the necessity of being Cully consecrated to the work, and' being baptized with " Fire." On Wednesday the sessions were held in the Methodist church, and were opened by a prayer and praise service by Rev. A, McLean, of Blyth, which was 'ollowed by a thoughtful paper by Mr. James Smilie, of Walton, on "Missions." Mr. Smilie's was a capital paper, and fully pointed out the duty of the Sun.-, day School to Missions. Mr. Snaffle ad- vocated giving nil collections made by Sunday Schools to the above purpose. To this some objection was taken. Rev. G. F. Salton's address on '' Nor- mal Class Work," was one of the best of tbe Convention. Mr. Salton taught*, lesson to the delegates on " The Har- mony of the Gospels." which was well received, and as a result a number of schools will, during the coming year, endeavor to organize such classes. Mr. 'Taylor's address on "'t'eacher's Interest in Pupil in and out of School," was highly beneficial. Mr. Day, 0t Deer Park, and Mr. Gray, of Seaforth, gave two splendid addresses at two o'clock p. nt. to the children, which were well received. Mr. Gray took as his text, " A Bag With Holes." Mr. Day attended to the Question Drawer in good shape, and indeed many artd copious questions dill he answer. The evening session was addressed by Rev. Mr. Shilton, of Clinton, the subject being " General Knowledge of the Bible Eesentiat to Efficient Sunday School Teaching " Mr. Day, Provincial Secre- tary, also addressecr the meeting at some length, and asked the parents' hearty co operation in Sunday School Work. The meeting was one of the most successful ever held in the hist my of the County Convention. The Nominating Committee present- ed their report of the oiiicers for the current year:—President, 11ov.
