• 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.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION AT BRUSBELS—DR.
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

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.

During the horse races in connection

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

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-

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.

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

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

rel. High quality generally means high
prices.
