On Mr Itaterfordts remonstrating at this most Unfair treat. meat, he was informed that his letter Would be ineerted, if he would pay for it, or home a yearly advertiser to the sweet little tune of ll450! Notwithetanding this refuge], the Farm- er's Bun last week published a second letter from "Huron Petron,"who*oes much furth- er than he did in his first, to his statement against Mr Ransford, the Objeot plsinly being to offset all the possible benefits of the advertisement of the Stapleton Balt Works. Saida an unfair and unbusiness- like transaotion would not, we think, be countenanced by the average eewspaper, and the Canada Farmer's Sun places itself in an unenviable light by its part in the matter; and it should either stop the publi. cation of letters of this nature, or elee re- fund to the Stapleton Salt Works the amount paid it for advertising. In any event Patrons are unwise to pay 60 and 65 cents a barrel to the People's Salt Co, of Kincardine, for Balt, when they can buy it here for 50o. But then the Patrons must expeot to pay for experience like all other people, and the prices they are paying tor salt, and the value of apace in the Canada Farmer's Bun, show somebody is making money out of the Patrons. It appears to an unprejudiced outsider, that there mat be some very good reason or reasons for keeping the Patrons practi- cally in the dark, or at least only informed as to one side of the question. We do hear that the Kincardine Co. have made a very nice thing out of their deal with the Patrons. • what's 0.03 matter with the List The folloWing paragraph we lake from the London Free Press:— 'All the DOtninion Voters' lists 'have teen received except the one for West Huron. Its non-errival will not inter- fere with the election's, as they can be held on the old lists." This may or may not be true, but if it should turn out to be true it is much to be regretted. A list as old as the Wet Huron one is hardly the kind to hold an election upon, but it is just an- - other illustration of the absurdity of trying to maintain a franchise like the Dominion one. The following item is taken from the Toronto Telegram:— "The missing voters' list for West Huron has not been found yet. It is very probable that it will turn upsoon governmentas the has receivedinfor- mation which may result in unpleasant- ness if all is not satisfactory." We don't wish to insinuate that there is any monkeying with West Huron list, but the above paragraphs are sug- gestive, and unless some explanation is given, the public might conclude that an effort is being made to "do up"West Huron. 0 e s' ..•- invitation to re urn for the third year, which Bir Billiton accepted. We4are re requested to announce that hie ordship, the Bishop of Huron, has kindly promised to return to • Clinton at an early date and give his well known lecture on Palestine and Egypt, This will be a great treat.

ST, PATRICE'S ColicEnm.--On Tues- day evening next a grand concert will be given in the town hall under the auspices of St. Joseph's church, the participants being chiefly outside tai- ent, and the concert will be one that will do full honor to St. Patrick. The first part will consist of solos, Trish ballads, choruses by Irish Minstrels in full dress. Part two will represent minist refs from Cape Colony, or the descendants of Irishmen exiled during the penal laws from their own native land. The will also appear in costinne. No pains will be spared to make the occasion one of pleasure, and the hall will be decorated for the occasion. Plan of hall is at Cooper's book store. Huron Presbytery. The Presbytery of Huron met in Willis Church, Clinton, on Tuesday, the 12th inet. The greater part of the day was taken up with the reports from standing committees. Those presented and discus- sed were on Sabbath observance, temper- ance, Sabbath Schools, and state of religion. The tone of these'reports was encouraging, and the discussion interesting and instruc- tive. In connection with the report on the State of Religion the following recommen- dations ware adopted and sent down to Sessions :- 1. That this Presbytery advise the ses- sions under its jurisdiotion, (1) To endeavor to divide their oobgrega- tions into districts, each of which shall be under the care of an elder, who shall visit it pastorally at least once a year. (2) To hold meetings periodically, for conference as to the state of religion within their bounds. (3) To secure as large en attendanbe as possible of elders at Sabbath schools and prayer meetings, anvils full a measure of co-operation as possible by elders in these departments of church work. 2, That pastors be requested to keep the subject of family religion prominently be- fore the people, in their public and in their private teachings; and that sessions aim at having family worship observed .to some extent in every household. The Scriptures ought to be regularly read in every family, and if in any case there is no one present competent to lead in prayer, suitable forms might beinsed. 3, That special attention be paid to the young of'our congregations, in order that they may be brought as early as possible to a decision for Clarist, and encouraged to take part in the work of the church. 4. That in view of the general and de- cided satisfaction expressed with the results of the Christian Endeavor and Women's Foreign Missionary Societies, where they have been tried, the organization of braneh- es of these sosieties have been encouraged, where they do not already exist. 5. That in view of the general com- plaints of workeiness, not only in the com- munities in which our congregations are situated, but also in the congregations themselves, and among members as well as adherents, sessions be respested to take this matter Into their prayerful considera- tion, and to devise such means as they think best to meet this great hindrance to vital religion and to the work of the church. The following ministers were appointed commissioners to the next General assem- bly: Messrs M. Barr, Calvin Fletcher, J.A. McDonald, J. A. Hamilton, J. S. Henderson. The elders appointed were the revresenta- tives of Eginondvide, Thames Road, Bruce. field and Blyth. The records of some ses- sions which had not been presented at the last meeting of Presbytery were examined and attested. It was decided to obtain an ordained miesionary for Bayfield and Beth- any, for a period of two years, and to ask the usual grant for Grand Bend, and for Leeburn and Union Churoh, Goderieh township. DEATH OF A MINIETEIL—Rev. D. G. Sutherland, formerly pastor of Batten - bury St. Methodist church, Clinton, died at his residence in Toronto, on Tuesday, in his 56th year. About a year and a half ago Dr. Sutherland contracted a slight illness which de- veloped into a fever. Since then he had been troubled with a continual series of fevers which gradually kept pulling down his constitution. The end was a most peaceful one. A wi- dow, three daughters and one son are left to mourn his loss. Dr. Suther- land was; regarded as one of the wisest and most able ministers of the Metho- dist chin ch. Deceased was born in Hamilton in 1839, and was a son of the late Capt. Sut.herland, who was killed in the Desjardins canal accident just thirty-eight years ago Tuesday. Dr, Sutherland entered the Victoria Col- lege in 1855, and graduated four years later. He next studied law, and en- tered into partnership with Mr Lazier, of Hamilton, until 1864, when he be- came a Methodist minister, and has continued in that capacity ever since. Hullett broke out in the hen house -and Piggery of Mr G. Menne, the other, day, and it had moo to* headwaY before it was elleceSerefto that 'the whale building was consumed, i‘G.' What will he do? The Lion. J. C. Patterson seems to be an uncertain' element in the present political excitement, The Hamilton Times states positively that he is look- ing for the Lieutenant -Governorship of Manitoba, and that Dr. Montague is to succeed him in the cabinet. The London Advertiser states that he is to run for East Middlesest. Mr Mc- Neill, M. P. for North Bruce, told a resident of Huron this week that Mr Patterson could have his constituency if be was appointed to the Senate, the Toronto Telegram reports that he may possibly run in East Toronto, -- while the Hon. Minister himself is reported to have said that "he would not oppose M. C. Cameron in West Huron." Even his own supporters are asking "What will he do?" F, W. Glen, once a Canadian, now a 'resident of New York, predicts that ere long both the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways will be in the hands of receivers, owing to the decline of :heir stock. Others beside Mr Glen anticipate the same thing, and unless a radical improvement takes place quickly, it will not be very long before they are there. Personal. • Miss Eugene Walker, of London, is home on a visit. Mr T. Jackson, jr., is epending the 'week In Toronto. Mr Lack Kennedy and wife spent Sunday at Seaforth.

Ford took a load of young folk over to Mr Marshall's Goderich township, to share in an oyster supper, and they report having a good time. Mr John Noble spent Saturday and Sunday re- newing old acquaintances in EiWawa.- nosh and Morris. Mr Thomas Archer treated the young folk to a hop on Friday night, and they report a good time. GRANGE.—Hulletb Grange No. 393, held its regular meeting on Monday night, at Londesboro. After the busi- ness of the meeting was through with, Mr George Hood, of Sunshine, gave a very, interesting but short address on the benefits of the Grange Order. He thought it more important than ever for the farmers to join the Grange; had nothing against the Patrons of Indus- try, but thought the Grange far ahead of it, and hoped it would not be long before they would all join in with us, and make it one grand institution for the farmers. Hullett Grange would only be too glad to see Mr Hood's smil- ing face oftener. The Grange then closed in the usual form, after which the sisters of the Order made prepara- tions for the "inner wants," which they always know how to do in good style. This being the nineteenth anni- versary of Hullett Grange, a short en- tertainment was then held. Mr Brew- er, of the Molsons Bank, Clinton, gave a number of excellent stereopticon views of the World's Fair, which he did in a most pleasing manner, with a running comment thereon, and all ex- pressedWhennselves as highly pleased therewith, and hoped ere long to have him back again. This lasted for about one hour and a half, and was highly inatructivesand interesting. Mr Brew- er gone to great pains in preparing his ews, and the audience were loud in th ir admiration of them. retiting tor the n COMEDY.—The Marks Bros. Dramatic Co. played four nights and Saturday matinee to packed houses last week. The plays put on by the company this visit are better than at any previous visit. Tom Marks still leads the com- pany, and as usual excells as an Irish comedian; he has ghost support. This week the company is in Seaforth, next in Mitchell, and the week of the 25t in Goderich. ECLIPSE OF THE MOON. — A total eclipse of the moon occurred on Sunday evening, the shadow of the earth pass- ing over ft. The moon entered the penumbra at 3 minutes to 8 o'clock and the shadow at 8 minutes to 9. At 10.39 the middle of the eclipse arrived. The moon left the shadow at 12.25 Monday morning. The night was beautifully clear, and there were no clouds to hide the moon's brilliancy. Eager eyes were turned upward as the hour of the eclipse drew - near, and many people had a clear view of a beautiful natural phenomenon that they will never see again. The first sign was the least apparent flattening of the silver circle on its lower side. This crept up until nothing Was to be seen but a thin crescent. The lower part of the moon looked almost a fair orange color. Finally it became alto- gether obscured, and looked like the mouth of a great furnace suspended in the air. A long time it remained thus dimmed, and then the shadow dipped away up across it, turd underneath ap- peared a "horned moon" that developed gradually into its own brilliant self and went cn shedding its even light on the silent earth,just as though nothing had ever happened. Evidently it was quite unaware that vulgar mankind knew its light was borrowed, and that its brilliancy was merely superficial. The Band Supper. The citizen's band is to be congratu- lated upon the success of its first annu- al dinner, which was held at the Hotel Clarendon, on Thursday evening last. The menu was excellent, the attention faultless, the tables beautiful and at- tractive, while about sixty sat down and enjoyed the band's hospitality. The gathering was a representative one, and the occasion was certainly one of the mostpleasant of this nature that has been held here. Mr M. McTaggart occupied the chair, and Mr H. B. Chant the vice -chair. The following were the toasts, with their responses :- Canada, our country, Mr W. E. Rand. The Band, Mr A. J. Holloway. The Mayor, R. Holmes. The Corporation, Messrs Gilroy, Bruce, and S. S. Coeper. Trade and commerce, J. Hoover. Army and navy, Dr Shaw, Messrs Combe and M. McTaggas t. The Professions,Drs. Gunn and Turnbull, Messrs .

Several members of the Marks Co. also contributed to the entertainment. Mr A. Armstrong, before the close, in a neat little speech, alluded to the hand's career, and proposed a vote of thanks to the members, which was warmly responded to. The band came in for considerable complimentary reference in the course of the addresses, and has proved itself worthy of;It all.

Hensall ENTERTAINMENT. — The Methodist choir will give a musical entertainment on Monday evening March 25th, at which a celebrated soloist from Detroit will take part, when they will have their new church organ. Rev Mr Tor- rance, formerly of Hensall, is expected to preach on Sunday and lecture on Monday eVening. ROYAL TEMPLARS.—Rev 3.. W. Bell. of Hamilton, is here, in the interests of the Royal Tempters of Temperance, endeavoring to resuscitate the R. T. of T. Council here, and endeavoringto put it on a more substantial basis, viz,: that of having a lite insurance scheme or select degree with it. He preached in the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning, and in the Methodist in the evening, and lectured on Monday and Tuesday evenings, on "The gin mill" and "John and Messy," or "Poverty, its cause and cure," respectively. COLLEGIATE NOTES. —The scratch of the pen on the examination paper has ceased, and will not be heard again for two months. The results of the exami- nation which has just been held are, on the whole, satisfactory. In many cases there is room for improvement, but we suppose when the reports are read, the pupils will be excited to try to get higher marks next time. There was almost a serious accident in the gymnasium on Wednesday. The boys of the third and fourth forms had as- sembled to he instructed in drill by Mr Coombs; as David Smith was crossing the room with a pair of dumb -belle in his hand he stepped on some snow which had drifted in, and fell very for- cibly on the floor, The direct result of the fall was a badly sprained wrist, and the severe shaking up made him quite ill. He has taken a couple of holidays and is now at school again. The doc- tor attended to the wrist, which is still much swollen. Quite a number of 'the pupils have had a slight attack of measles; he disease is not the ordinary dangerous kind, but shows itself in a harsh rash, which, under careful att en- tention, usually disappears in n couple of days. We suppose they are special or High School measles. During the rough weather, outside sports have been entirely suspended; now that the fine weather it' coming, we hope that the football practice will be vigorously undertaken. This problem, together with the following, is engagingsthe at- tention f the mathematicians of our school. Problem 1-11 0, roan is driv- ing along the road,whlch goes quicker, the top or bottom of a wheel? Prob- lem 2—How can four ride in a cutter" that has only room for one ? Problem 3—If a small boy of. form II talke at the rate of 85a words a minute, how long would it take a big boy of form IV, talkingat the rate of 167 27-35 words a minute, to exhaust the pa- tience of the teacher? Bay field. NOTES.—Mrs Huston, who has been suffering from a severe illness this last week, we are pleased to hear is im- proving. Brigadier Margarets from London, and Adj. Taylor, of Seaforth, conducted the meeting in the Salva- tion Army last Friday evening. Mr Porterfield, of Marnock, who was vis. iting his sister, Mies Maggie Porter. field, left on Monday for Nebraska. Mr John StAnbury, who bas been spending a short vacation at borne, re. turned to Toronto on Friday last. ,4„. , ........„ L. I Mail—Preparations for a general election are in an advanced state in case the Gov- ernment should determine upon a dissolu- tion before s session. The Clerk of the Crown in Chancery has all the writs pre- pared for issuing at a moment's notice. There were lively scenes about the Nova Scotia Legislature Wednesday, when the vote on the motion to extend the franchise ty women came up. The motion was op- posed by all the members of the Govern- ment, and lost on a division by 21 to 12. The latest trolitical rumor among local Conservatives is that the Greenway Gov- ernment contemplate dissolution immed- iately on the close of the present session of the Legislature about April 1. By that time the Dominion Government will have asked Mr Greenway to give redress to -the Catholics. Mr Greenway will refuse and declare- that hp will stand by his present school law, and on that declaration he will go to the country. NOTES.—Mr B. Thomson has bought park lot A, at present occupied by Mr iKydel; from Mr Petty. Mr Ellis, pho- tographer, has moved his family to Hensall. The Home Circle of this place appears to be in a very flourishing con- dition, there being four initiations at there last meeting. Miss Brownlee bas returned, after spending a few weeks in Clinton. Mr D. Burns is in Goderich, being a jut yman at the assizes being held `there. Mr Jas. Bon- thron has completed his duties as ass- essor for the township of Hay. Mrs James Suthealand one day last week slipped on the sidewalk, spraining her wrist, and injuring her fingers on the other hand. DEBATE.—A very interesting debs te was held in Kippen on Thursday even- ing of last week, the subject being, "Resolved that annexation to the U.S. would be more to the interest of Cana- dians than Canadian independence." The affirmative was upheld by Messrs J. C. Stoneman, J. T. Wren and Win. Buchanan, of Hensall,, and the nega- tive by Messrs J. T. McKay, F. Butch - art and T. Forsythe. Mr Prendergast, of Seaforth, to whom the question was referred, decided in favor of the affirm- ative. We think debates should he en- couraged, especially among the young, as it enables them, not only to know more about the subject debated, but also to think when on their feet, and express their views publicly. Jon W. Pattersen, acting teller of the Traders' Batik at Strathroy, has disappear- ed with $4,000 of the bank's money. Mr Fred Charles, aged 40, a married farmer, living one mile north of Burford, was engaged in drawing and cutting timber in the bush on Saturday, when a tree fell and killed him. The bill providing the whipping -poet for men criminally assaulting children under sixteen has been defeated by a small ma- jority in the New York Assembly. The return of Inland Revenue during the month of February shows a decrease of twenty-flve thousand dollars as compared with the corresponding month of 1894. Mr Jae. Dunn, a very old resident in the vicinity of Woodstock, Ont„ died Wednes- day, aged 81. He had been a resident of Oxford for more than half a Century. Worth, the famous man dressmaker, of Paris is dead. He was born at Bourne, in Lincolnshire, in 1825, and the king of fa- shion was, therefore, not, as generally sup- posed, a Frenchman, but an Englishman. M. Worth has made dresses for all the qneens of Europe, with the single exception of Queen Viotoria, and women of fashion all the world over. Stratford Herald: As the time for the trial of 4.1meda Chattelle, the self-confess- ed perpetrator of one of the most heinous crimes on record, draws closer, there is deeper interest and greater activity dis- played in the ease. It has been generally supposed that the prisoner's confession had as good as sealed his fate, and as no special effort has been made by friends in his be- • half, it was thought there would be no- thing beyond a formal hearing. Such, however, appears to be very, far from the (venal facts. It is understood a plea of insanity may bo entered, and not, it is said, without good cause; but most people will be shocked to imagine it possible for 'the self-confessed murderer to escape con- dign punishment. The Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West, which is now in session at St Cath- arines, Wednesday declared against the exclusion of 'all religious teaching in the Public schools, and in very strong terms protested against any interference b1 the Dominion Government in the Manitoba school question. It also declared in favor of securing such an alteration of the Act of Confederation as will abolish existing sec- tarian or Separate schools throughout Can- ada, and make English the official language of the Dcminion and of all the provinces. Political Affairs. At Belleville. on Tuesday the reception banquet to Sir Maokenzie Howell was a splendid success. There were two divisions in the Ontario Legislature on Wednesday. By a majority of seven the question of the maintenance of Government House.was referred to a com- mittee. The second vote on the system of purchasing snppliee for the pnblio institu- tions. The Government was sustained by a majority of 18. The Greed Orange Lodge of Western Ontario opened on Tuesday in St. Cathar- ines, when Grand Master James L. Hughes delivered his annual address. Referring to the Manitoba sehool question, he said he though that remedial legislation within certain limits, should be granted to the Roman Catholic minority of Manitoba. The ToronioWorld (Conservative) snorts that the political situation itt Ottawa is critical. It says the Cabinet is divided, and the men in power cannot agree among themselves whether to dissolve and go to the country or hold another session of Par- liament—whether. they will grant immedi. diate remedial legislation in connection with the Manitoba school ease, or at least make a definite declaration of their inten. time in regard thereto, er shall take *he whole twitter into further considstation7 The fad is, the w u now In [lower at 01.
