This is over and above the re- gular profit on the same articles. The farmers will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that the N.

The London people were generous and threw open their houses to delegates,. • but we wonder if it ever Occurred to the members of Conference that there a certain amount of unfairness in expecting private families to open their homes for so long a time and live every day in a style much bet- ter than they have been in the habit of doing. The Conference is too large ..ia‘d takes too long in the transaction of business. POLITIAL Hon. J. B. Patterson, Premier of Vic- toria, Australia, has resigned, owing to the election. The Patrons of Industry of Dundas county, on Saturday, in convention, ten- dered the nomination to Mr S. S.

The various district meetings hall report to their new confer - enoes. Thanks were'redorded to Rev.

The report of the book and publishing committee was adopted, the principal re- commendations being that the price of the Guardian be reduced to $1 a year, a oir. oulation of 30,000 being the figure named as that which should be aimed at by the ministers of the ohuroh. A paid corres- pondent at Winnipeg will be given a page for Manitoba and Northwest matters. Two pages of the Guardian will be given up to Young People's work. • THE DECLARATION OP PRINCIPLES. The following declaration of principles was recommended to conference: 1. That the liquor traffic cannot be li- censed without sin. 2. That it is the duty of the Civil Gov- ernment to prohibit the trade in intoxicat- ing liquors. 3. That the Methodist church stands for righteousness in our nation and believes the principles taught by Jesus Christ should have precedence of all others in the political coin:roils of our people. 4. That we refuse consent to and repud- iate all compact and compromises with the licensed liquor traffic as being unholy. 5. That we hereby give notice that we will do our utmost to utterly destroy all the partnerships between the people of Canada and dealers in alcoholic liquors and their sympathizers. In the use of toba000 the oommittee re- commended that no person be nominated for Sunday School superintendent who is not a total abstainer. Conoluding, it urged that alcoholic wine be not used in the administration of the Lord's Supper. _Liberals of East Huron. 'V r • (30,4) N.104-0) t41 Town and. 00finty Church CatitileS, • .

MACDONALD, M. P., RECEIVES UNANIMOUS RE -NOMINATION. The, large Town Hall, at Brussels, was filled to the doors on Friday afternoon at the Liberal nominating convention for East Huron. President Hyslop made an ap- propriate opening address, after which a financial report was presented by Treasurer Kerr. One hundred and thirty.eight de- legates responded to their names, repre- senting the eight municipalities in the rid- ing. Dr. Macdonald, the worthy M. P. who redeemed •East • Huron 1887, was -the unanimous choice of the convention, on motion of Mr Thomas Strachan and Mr James Elliott. Rattling speeches were made by Dr, Macdonald, M.P., Mr Thos. Gibson, IL P. P., and Mr M. Y. McLean, M.P.P. The acceptance of the nomination by Dr. M.scdonalli was received with great apport in the coming oonteet. The following resolutions were unani- mously carried before the close of the con- vention:—Moved by Mr N. H. Young, of Blyth seconded by Mr Thos. Gibson, of Fordwich—"That this convention desires to xpress it unfeigned regret and sorrow at the death of Hon. C. F. Fraser, who for so many years occupied such a prominent position in the Administration of Ontario, and who by his honesty, integrity, energy and singleness of purpose set an example which future statesmen might follOw with credit to themselves and honor and advant- age to their country." Moved by Mr G. F. Blair, of Brussels, seconded by Mr J. A. Morton of Wingham: —"That the Liberals of East Huron, in convention assembled, desire to express our continued confidence in Hon. Wilfred Laurier, our honored leader, and oar un- bounded admiration of the magnificent stand that he and the other Liberals mem- bers have, during the last session of Par- liament made in favor of a better and pur- er form of government, and we hereby pledge ourselves to do all that men may when the time comes to return a staunch Liberal to aid him in carrying on the good work of placing our beloved Canada under a pure, progressive and eoonomioal Govern- ment." Moved by Thos. Strachan, Grey, second- ed by Mr Robert Miller, of Wroxeter:— "That this convention desires to express its satisfaction and approval of the pro- gessive, honest and eoonomioal government of the Administration of Sir Oliver Mowat, and to congratulate the Province of Ontario on the fact that the Liberal Government has once more been sustained at the polls, and we have full confidence that they will in the future. as in the past, work with a single eye to the best welfare of the people of this grand Province." Rousing ()been were given for the Queen and the candidate, after which this en. thusiastio gathering was brought to a close. The executive then met and appointed three gentlemen to attend to the revision of the voters' lists for the riding. Dr. Macdonald, it is expected, will be returned by a larger ' majority than in 1890, when he carried East Huron by over 300. General Booth, of the Salvation Army, arrived in Halifax on Saturday, and was tendered an enthusiastic reception by the local corps Mr Laurier and those accompanying him on his western trip are not travelling on passes. They have paid their own way just as ordinary passengers do. This is very much to thp credit of those who are making the journey, and is also greatly to the advantage of the country. When any question conies up in Parliamet hereafter, which the CanadianPacific i interested, the Opposition will nht be tie by favors nits ohief.—TorontdNe A very nice responsive service of the past quarter's lessons has been prepar- ed for Rattenhury St. Sabbath School, for use next Sunday afternoon, and will be interspersed with some excel- lent aud approppiate music. At the last meeting of the Sarnia Presbytery, Rev. J. Elliott, of Nairn, was appointed moderator for the en- suing five months. This is no small honor for as young a man as Mr El- liott, and his many Huron friends con- gratulate him ou his advancement. An exchange thus refers to a former pastor of Rattenhury St. church, Clinton: — "Rev. W. McDonagh, of Kingsville, has entered his 43rd year in the ministry, his old-tiine power in the pulpit has not abated, and he is still one of the abient preachers in the Methodist church." At a meeting of the Epworth League of Ontario St. Church, held Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected:—Hon. Pres., Rev. W. Sm3Sth; Thos. March, Pres.; Miss S. Moore, 1st vice; R. B. Stanley, 2nd vice; Miss Hamilton, 3rd vice; Miss Andrews, 4th vice; H. Israel, Secretary; Miss A. Brickenden, Treas; Miss A. Gibbings, Pianist. The thanksgiving services held Sim - day last, in the Holmesville, Middlet-m and Summerhill churches, were well attended. The services were conduct- ed by the pastor, and Rev. T.E.Higley, of Blyth, preached an impressive ser- mon from the text, Psalrn 50, 14, "Offer unto God thanksgiving." All churches were beautifully decorated with fruit, rain and flower s. The thank -offering in the three places amounted to $51.81. There is every probability that the meeting of the Huron Christian En- deavor representatives, to take place in Rattenhury St. Church, next Thursday and Friday, will be a profitable and largely attended one. Many societies in the county have signified their in - tion to send delegates, an excellent program of topics has been prepared, and the members of Clinton societies will do their utmost to make the visit of strangers pleasant. The sessions will be open to the public. Arrangements had been made to have Educational sermons preached in both Methodist churches on Sunday last by Rev. Mr McDermott, of Napa - nee, and Rev. Mr Paisley, of St. John, N. B., but the former was called home on Saturday owing to the illness of his son, and Rev. Mr Smyth kindly came to the rescue, and filled in the gap. Rev. Mr Paisley preaching in Ontario St. church in the morning and in Rattenhury St. church in the even- ing. In private conversation Mr Pads - ley expressed himself as much pleased with this section of country. consider- ing it greatly superior to that of the aritime provinces. He thought that if a farmer could make a living at all down by the sea, they should easily accumulate wealth here, but the num- ber of "snake" fences here was a sur- prise to him. The gentleman referred to in the fol- lowing paragraph is the grandfather of Rev. E. A. Fear, Holmesville:— "Rev. Samuel Fear, on Saturday, Sept. 15, completed his ninety-second year. That evening he entertained a few friends to tea at his residence, at the old parsonage, Elora. The negt, morn- ing, entering the first day of his ninety- third year, he preached. to large congre- gations in the Elora church. The text was Rom. v. 1-5, dwelling chiefly open "experience.". The sermon, which was three-quarters of an hour long, was delivered with remarkableclearness and strength of voice, and with a large measure of the old-time fire and energy. If not the oldest minister of the Meth- odist church in Canada now living, Father Fear, so far as known is the oldest minister able to preach. He at- tends church on Sabbath and class on Tuesday evening, reads without glass- es, has generally good health, is in- terested in all local and connexional church matters and, best of all, is "strong in faith. giving glory to God." We are sorry to add word has been re- ceived that he is seriously ill. Presentation. Several of Rev L. W. Diehl's friends met at the residence of Mrs Holmes, Princess street, on Monday evening last, and presented that gentleman with a handsome, hunting case, gold watch and guard. The presentation was made by Mr G. M. Kilty, who read the following address : • , • able terms.

We are confident in predicting a successful career, for is it not written "Blessed are the peacemakers."—Com. TO THE REV. L. W. DIEHL; PASTOR OP M/D. DLETON, ROLM/DE/VILLE AND SuMMEIMILL CHURCHES, DEAR PASTOR, -We have met together this evening to perform a pleasant and at the same time a painful duty; pleasant because it brings back to our memories the scenes and acts of the past five years in which you, dear pastor, have been the central figure; and painful, be. cause it carries us forward to the time in which the ties of love which have bound us together as pastor and people will bo broken. We aro here to testify to your many excellent qualities of head and heart. You have labored unceas- ingly amongst us in church, home and Women's Auxiliary, during the term of your ministra- tion. By your words you have endeavored to make ns wise unto salvation, ever holding up Christ to our view, as tho only mediator be- tween God and man. By your walk amongst 118 you have taught UR many valuable lessons of faith, hope and charity, which we trust will cling to us through life. AB a slight token of our esteem pleme accept this watch and guard. Allow its to congratulate you on your approach- ing marriage. May God's choicest, blessings rest on you and tha estimable lady whom you are about to take as the partner of your joys and sorrows, in your now home, and when we have laid our burdens down, may we all meet in that happy land whore we moot to part no more. , JOHN MIDDLETON Middleton.

Mr David Goldie, a prominent and re- speoted citizen of Ayr, Ont., died Monday morning. • The Manitoba Patrons of Industry pro- pose shipping their wheat direot to Eng- land. Owing to the scarcity of school teachers in Manitoba many country schools are closed. The Lexington hotel in Chicago, valued at 01,000,000, has recently been sold for taxes, for $6,410.73. The soveretn grand lodge of the Inde- pendent Order of Oddfellows have deoided to admit women. Canada's total foreign trade has fallen off $4,500,000 for the first two months of the current fiscal year. The town of Bowmanville on Friday celebrated the oentenne,ry anniversary of the settlement of West Durham. Freight is being hauled by waggon be- tween Winnipeg and some distant Provin- cial towns, to save high railway ()bargee. A terrific cyclone swept over Minnesota, Iowa, and other Western States on Friday nikht, killing soores of people and injuring hundreds more. • lio w about that topn yo.0 are going -16 Paper. this.. fall He has fit more (Spectacles, and baa more good testimonials than any man in Canada.

Ellerbeck, a Raleigh township farmer, was shot in the leg on Saturday night by an unknown man, of whom he had solicited a lift on the road. Joseph Clohecy, son of Mr Thomas Clo- hecy, Hamilton, aged 16, died at his par- ents' residence of lockjaw. Three weeks ago he stepped on a nail. Crossley and Hunter, the Method'st evangelists, began a series of union meet- ings at Pembroke on Sunday. The curling and skating rink is being used, all the churches being too small for the crowds attending. Five horses belonging to A. B. Choate, of Ingersoll, got at a bag of wheat and ate too much. Two of them died. one of them being his famous Clear Grit breeding mare, for which he refused $175 only a short time ego. During the horse races in connection with the first day of the North Ontario Fall Fair the horse Ben Hur, owned by A. E. Claughton, of Utica, Ont., ran against a four-by-four scantling, which went clear through him from side to side, ' throwing him and bis rider violently to theground. His rider, Tuoker, of Sunderland, miracu- lously escaped unhurt. The horse, which was a valuable one, had to be killed ini- mediately. It is not well for a man to nuture a re- vengeful feeling against anyone. The man Truskey, who shat and killed Constable Lindsay at Comber, may end his life on the gallows because he allowed his revenge- ful nature to get the better of him. The constable had had him punished f'or itt- using a horse, which stirred Truskey's re- sentment so that he went about with mur- der in his heart against the officer. He satisfied his desire for revenge, but it will cost him his life. In the six years following the year 1886 the production of cheese in Ontario in• creased from $5,893,000 worth to $8,859,000. This was an increase of over fifty per dent, and might be considered a fairly satisfac- tory showing, but Our progress was not nearly up to that of Quebee,which increased her output in the same period from $2,- 265,000 to 35,647,000, an advance of about 150,per cent. Ontario will have to hustle, or the sister Province will soon,surpass her as a cheese producer. Thomas Nicholson, gardener, Ottawa, recently resolved to make a trial ship- ment of Ottawa grown tomatoes to the mother country. He sent over a consign- ment of four varieties. The tomatoes were shipped in their green state, each one being wrapped in paper, but in shipping them there was no advantage as to cold storage. They were sent as ordinary freight, reaching Liverpool in splendid condition, and realizing a shilling per lb on the Liverpool market. A remarkable accident occurred the other day in New York. A young man went to make a call upon his sweetheart. She saw him coming, and, opening the door, stood at the top of the steps waiting for him. There was an iron handrail at the side of the steps, and when the young man came up to the girl he put one band on the rail. He fell dead at her feet. An electric wire, used for driving a fan in tbe adjoining building, by coming in contact with a metal cornice which touched the handrail, had charged the rail se with electricity that the young man was in- stantly killed when he touched it. The young woman was so affected by the oc- currence) that Ms doubtful if she will recover. Last June some extensive depredations by cattle thieves occurred in the Western part of Wentworth and in Brant county. A farmer named Skelly in South Dumfries lost 10 bead of very fine animals. Another farmer lost 6, and others Ioet smaller bnnohes. Nothing was heard of the ani - male nntil recently, when what looked like the hides of Skelly's cattle were found in the Hamilton market, being offered for sale. The hides were traced to a local slaughter house, where the animals had been killed. As the cattle were valuable animals, Mr Skelly had had eaoh one tag- ged on the ear, the same as at the Agricul- tural Farm, the tag showing the date of birth and other notes regarding the pedi- gree of the animal. In this way the hides were identified. The ears had been ont off and buried with other slaughter home refuse, but when a search was instituted at the place the tagged ears were found. Froin farther information obtained the hides were traced back and the supposed gnilty parties arrested. Their names are Thomas Bishop, Oliver Kitchen and J, Bacon, of Lynden, and they have been taken to Brantford to trial, The dote°. tive work in this ease was, quite clever. NEWS NO'IES The Governor-General and Countess of Aberdeen were warmly welcomed at Port Arthur on Monday evening. Lewis Young has arrived at Tacoma, Washington, having ridden a bicycle from Pittsburg, P. He was 3ix months making the trip. Sixty houses in the city of Blazki, Russian Poland, where cholera is raging, were set on fire Monday night and destroy- ed. A number of inmates suffering from the disease were burned to death. Mr Geo. Barker, and well-known farmer and horticulturist, living near Lobo village, committed suioide Monday afternoon, (Sept. 24th) by taking a dose of Paris green. A young farmer named Conklin rode to the rear of the banking -house of Bloom- field & Co., at Mount Sterling, Ill., and with a double-barrelled shotgun held up the cashier and his associates, gathered up $411 and attempted to get away, but was caught and the money taken from him. A story comes from Stamford, Ont., by way of Niagara Falls, N. Y., that Mr Nel- son Stotts, while climbing over a pile of rook on the Canadian side, run into a den of rattlesmakes. He made his escape bv climbing a cedar tree, and when the snakes had retired to their den be came borne with one of the reptiles, which he had kill- ed, which measured five feet in length and had 11 rattles. K. M. Walton, postmaster, of Clifford post office, has been dismissed from office. Mr Walton's offence was the opening of letters passing through his hands. In at- dition to being dismissed he WR4 prosecuted for wrongfully opening letters,an t was fined $20 and costs. The wayward postmaster has been erring for some time, the opening of the letters being prompted apparently by curiosity as to their contents. WHAT WE EXPORT. Our cheese exports are steadly improv- ing, whereas our butter exports appear to be in a very unsatisfactory condition. Ac- cording to the Trade Bulletin of Montreal for the season up to Sept. 14, 1,057,762 packages of cheese and 13,671 packages of butter, as against 934,250 packages of cheese and 38,454 packages cf butter for the same period in 1893. If the decline in butter ex- port to one-third of those of last season be explained by the drouth, we are confronted by the increase of cheese exports by nearly 0,000,000 pounds. If the explanation be given that butter has gone into cold storage for speculative purposes, then we may rest assured that the Canadian butter industry will receive another set -back, for John Bull wants his butter fresh, and will use no other on bis table. The Canadian Horticulturist for Septem- ber contains two items that should be placed side by side and examined by our farmers. The first is an extract from an Ingersoll apple-grower:—"I sprayed my apple orchard five times -this summer, and I have, 1 think, the finest samples all through I ever saw." The other is from a report by a Chicago firm as to that market: —"Fancy fruit, from 12.40 to 32 60; choice fruit, from 61.15 to 62 25." Spraying the trees at a cost of a few cents a tree will in many oases make the difference of Il1 a bar- rel. High quality generally means high prices. SALE REGISTER.
