Wteten In the best town In Duron County In June the Hon. Mr Foster will likely have the pleasure of looking a six million deficit in the face. It's not a good thing to look at, either. The superannuation leak in Canada is costly. The men in power at Ottawa itaow pay out $200,000 a year more than they receive in superannuating officials; )Many of whom are making a living in i4 4ddition to their superannuation. Mr Jeff. McCarthy, (a namesake of Dalton) is opposing Dr. Montague in Haldimand. We would not suppose his chances of election were worth much, for the fact of him being a resi- dent of Barrie -an absolute stranger in the constituency -is almost enough to defeat him. Hon. Geo. White, of Centreville, N. B.,•has written a letter to the press giving his reasons for deserting the Conservative party. He says they have deliberately misled and misgoverned the people, increased the cost of gov- ernment immensely, and are no longer entitled to confidence or support. We have in type a two -column letter in reply to that of Mr. Ransford, of last week, but it is unavoidably held over until next week. They are sever- al etatemente in the letter which we think should not be, but as the writer signs his full name, we allow them to go. We might say that in future communications, no mat tar what they relate to, we would much prefer it, if they did not exceed one column in length. No less than five divisions were taken in the Local House, on Thursday, the Government being sustained in each case by majorities running from 14 to 89, according to the nature of the reso- lution. In one casethePatrons an3Con- servatives voted against the govern- ment. The most remarkable feature o f the voting was that in every case Mr. Beatty, the Conservative member for Parry Sound, registered with the Liberals. The Local Government certainly made a mistake when it voted down, with the assistance of Conservative members, the Patron proposition to make the acceptance of railway passes by members illegal. We fail to see any justification or excuse for the vote. When members get their mileage paid it:is certainly not proper for them to accept passes, and we think the senti- ment of the country will take this • view of it. • The Canada Farmer's Sun complains because neither the Conservative or Liberal party advocates the abolition of the Senate, and intimates that if the Patrons had the power they would a- bolish it. On this point we agreewith it; we advocated its abolition even:be- fore the Patrons came into existence. We would go so far as to wipe out the Renate; Ill the Provincial Governor's residences, the Superannuation system, and any other form of public expend- iture that is absolutely unwarranted or unjustifiable. SI Loeai Volum. The meeting of the Local Union, in Willis church, op Friday evening last, was a pleasant and successful gather -- tug, especially when it is remembered that special services were in progress in two other churches. Mr Thomas Murch occupied the chair until the President, Mr Coltman, (who was oth- erwise engaged) was at liberty to do 80. The first topic introduced was "The Endeavorer out of Society," by Mr Fred Elferd, of Ilolmesville, who in his preliminary remarks stated that "The Endeavorer should be as good out of the Society as in it; should up hold its principles; the motto of the Society was "Look up -lift up," and he thought that while the first part of the motto was all-important, the second was none the less so. The following pointe were then touched upon: 1st, The endeavor- er should always be ready to show his colors; he should never sit on the fence; sometimes there was no difference be- tween the Endeavorer and one who did not belong to the Society; should be able to say yes or no; the Endeavorer could have a good time without violat- ing any of his principles; should not be half-hearted or afraid to stand up for his convictions. 2nd, The Endeavorer should be . consistent; inconsistency was one of the greatest detriments to the progress of Christ's cause; was in- consistent for an Endeavorer to use tobacco in any form, or to lounge about hotels, unless they had business there. 3rd, The Endeavorer should be partic- ular in his language, and avoid stories of a questionable nature. 4th, Should be whole -hearted, broad-minded, and attend all the means of grace possible. 5th, Should be sociable; give the world a good opinion of his inner life; culti- vate cheerfulness, if not a natural gift; be ready to entertain strangers; in brief, the Endeavorer should be true to his motto and endeavor to keep his proper place in the world, and doing this the "tramp, tramp, tramp, of the increasing army of Endeavorers, would help to win the world for Christ." The discussion following was partici- pated in by Messrs L. Stevens, W. F. McRoberts and Robt. Holmes. "Take the next step" was the topic to have been taken by Mrs Ashley, of Londesboro, but owiag to entirety un- avoidable circumstances, she could not be present, and the topic was omitted. "Benetic•ience" was the topic taken by Miss Townsend, of Tuckersmith. Notwithstanding her apparent timidi- ty, which was certainly excusable, she gave an excellent address, dealing alto- gether with the principle of liberality. She took (lst,) as her model of benefi- cence, the most perfect, as set forth by the apostle in the words, "Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that we, through his poverty might be rich. (2) Paul's teaching would seem to indicate that the dispensation of grace but increased, not lessened, responsibility, and that instead of giving an assigned propor- tion ,we were to follow the example of the Master,who gave himself, and cited in proof Rom. 12, 1, "I beseech you, &c" (3) One strong point in her excellent address was that the motive to liberali- ty was changed from law to love, and as the law of love knew no limit but inability, we were under obligation to sacrifice to the utmost, limit of our ca- pability, on the principle that "there is that scattereth and yet increaseth, and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty." The address throughout was more suggest- ive than elaborate, with every point well put, and sustained by most apt and appropriate scriptures. Being ex- temporaneous -instead of reading a pa- per -added greatly to its effectiveness. The discussion following was parti- cipated in by Misses Taylor and Wil- son, Revs. Messrs Stewart, Holmes and Coltman, A.T. Cooper, Jas. Scott, J. Houston, L. Stevens and R. Holmes. EASTER MEAT. Our butchers, with their customary enterprise, make a handsome display of Easter meats, in fact this part of the business has got to be a regular feature, just the same as a millinery opening, and our butchers are like the other business men on these occasions, they put their best foot forward. We are sure that each of the butchers will be pleased to have visitors tall on them. R. FITZSIMONS' DISPLAY. One heifer, 23 months' old, dressed 560 lbs, fed by Jos. Lyon, Hullett.

Attorney - General Sifton will also go to Haldimand. Dr. K. H. L. Cameron, of Cayuga, Ont. died there Monday, aged 41. He was an active member of the Conservative party, and at the time of his death he was secretary of the Conservative Association of Haldimand and Monok. The financial returns of the Dominion for March are gazetted. They show the extraordinary fall-off in ordinary rev- enue of $1,000,000 compared with March of last year. When the Provincial sub- sides and other liabilities accruing in June are met the deficit Will probably reach $6,000,000. �ti�,lri�lfir�lE Church Chimes, Rev.•Ide Stout preached in St Paul's Church on Sunday evening last, Capt. McLeod, of St. Thomas, has taken charge of the Salvation Army here, Mr A,L.Budge a well-known graduate of Clinton Collegiate, has passed his final examination at Knox college. Rev, Thos. ulewortb, Napanee, lies at the point of death, Paralysis.is the affliction. In the years 1870-71 Mr Oleworth was stationed on Londes- boro circuit. Mr Palmer closed a series of success- ful and profitable evangelistic services at the Baptist Church, last (Thursday) night, the rite of baptism being also administered. Rev. Wm. Stout will hold services at Summerhill at 11 a.m., Middleton, 3 p.m., and Holmesville at 7 p.m. on Sunday next. Discourses, "Descrip- tions of the Crucifixion and Resurrec- tion." The special services in Ontario Street church, conducted by Rev. 'Mr. Smyth, have been meeting with gratifying suc- cess. No meeting was held last night, (Thursday) but a meeting will be held to -night, Friday. The state of the roads may be judged from the fact that on;Sundayafternoon after Rev. W. Smyth and J. W. Holmes had succeeded in reaching Turner's appointment, they could not get their horse into the driving shed on account of snow. The Inspector for the Manchester In- surance Co. was in Exeter on Friday, and ad'usted the claim of the Main St. Metho ist Church, giving his order for $5,100 the amount of their policy, This su , together with the brick in the old structure will be applied in the erection of a new church, the members by a proportion of 10 to 1, opposing the proposed union. A correspondent from Seaforth to the Brussels Herald says: -Rev. Mr Holmes, of Clinton, Chairman of the Goderich District, occupied the pulpit of the Methodist church on Sunday ev- ening, and delivered an excellent ser- mon, so delightful and practical that it was remarked that it was the best ser- mon of its kind delivered from the pulpit of the Methodist church. The ladies of the W.C.T.U. and oth- ers, to the number of 21, held their final meeting at the residence of Mrs S. Crich, on March 29th, and finished up their sewing for the winter. After making two quilts, two shirts, a pair pants, and repairing many otherar- ments too numerous to mention, they sat down to tea, and later on in the evening, all having spent the time profitably and pleasantly, they de- parted to their homes. At a regular meeting of the Official Board of Dungannon circuit it was unanimously resolved to express the very high appreciation of the services of Rev. D. Rodgers, the pastor for the past three years, in all the relations which his high calling as minister of the Gospel bears to the circuit; and al- so to express to his amiable wife a deep sense of appreciation for her kindness and of icienttico•operation in the work of the 3ircuit, • The friends of Rev. Jas. Ferguson, of Southampton, forrtierly of Londesboro, will be pleased to know that he is suc- ceeding well on that circuit, and that the health of himself and wife is much better than at any time since leaving Londesboro. Last year they were able to pay $200 of the church debt, bought a new parsonage and organ, have the salary paid up in full and the Connexional funds in advance of the previous year. This is an evidence of gratifying progress. The S. S. anniversary services of Rattenbury St. Sabbath School will be held on Sunday and Monday next. Sunday •morning Rev. J. W. Shilton will preach to the children, who will be massed in the body of the church; in the afternoon a special Easter re- sponsive service will be held, with also an address by Mr Shilton, who will preside again at the edening service. On Monday night the usual anniver- sary services will be held. Singing, appropriate to the occasion, is being specially prepared under direction of Mr Sibley. The officers of the school ask for a contribution of $50 towards the running expenses, and look for a most successful anniversary. Easter service is held in St. Paul's Church, today, special music being pre- pared for the occasion. Below is the musical program fpr both services on Sunday:- MATINS. Hymn No. 179 Havergal Venue ...

In view of the circumstances the fol- lowing particulars concerning hydro- phobia are of interest: -"All dogs that are actually bitten by mad dogs do not always develop rabies. The bacilli rabii has got to be at a certain stage of development in the attacking ani- mal or otherwise the bite is inoccuoug. The germ of the disease rabies are in the troth that runs from the dog's mouth, and if this should have the bacilli well matured and the froth or spittle should get Into a wound, the chances are that madness would be developed in the bitten animal. The time that it would take to develop if a dog has been inoculated by rabies virus from the other dog, will vary from 4 to 80 days, or probably longer than this, before one would noticefully developed hydrophobia. And then one might not be able to distinguish the disease, from the fact that all dogs which de- velope rabies are not necessarily "mad" or vicious, and bite other animals. In fact,only a small proportion of hydro- phoia dogs are savage and vicious. The first symptoms of madness will be loss of appetite. accompanied by a dull, sleepy appearance. This is followed 'hy restlessness, and a nervous action, and a feverish state of the system. .rhe eyes become congested, and often blood -shot. The throat begins to swell and swallowing 1s accompanied by in- tense pain. This is why the animal instinctively fears water, because it pains him to swallow, although he has a most ungovernable desire to drink. At this stage the dog froths at the mouth, and -the disease is tully, deve- loped and dangerous to come in con- tact with, although he may bite or may not. The animal will have several paroxysms, as the disease advances, with intervening spells of quietude and ease and appear to get better. They ehould be killed at once." NEWS NOTES Mr Geo. Laing, an old merchant of Bowmanville, is dead. Major Geo. D. Potter of the 30th Battalion died at Guelph. Mr Thomas Kirkpatrick, Postmaster at Thedford, is dead, aged 84 years. The American Government will es- tablish a Consular agency at Brant- ford. There is great fear that Japan will be afflicted with a cholera epidemic this year. Mr J. S. Bowman, a leading citizen, and deputy reeve of Listowel, died very suddenly on Monday. Mr Geo. Laraway, a well-to-do farm- er, living three miles from Dunham, Quebec, committed suicide by hanging. A despatch from Glasgow says that Wslliam Henderson, the last survivor of the founders of the Anchor line of steamships, is (lead. Tlre•Hyams aim trying to get their case postponed from next Toronto as- sizes. They are afraid of the influence of the Hendershott case. Mrs. H. A. Davies obtained a verdict atHamilton for $5,000 damages against Bracey Bros. &Co. for the loss of her husband, who was killed while thawing out dynamite. At a recent meeting of unemployed workingmen in Toronto it was stated that 20,000 workers were out of employ- ment in that city at the present time. The N. P. is not making them rich. A West Virginia man has recovered $9,- 000 damages from a telephone company for destruction of his residence by fire com- municated by its wires. The precedent thus established is regarded as one of great importance. Wednesday morning the Roman Catholic convent and church in Fort William, Ont., were completely de- stroyed by fire. In the evening an- other fire destroyed several buildings in the place. When Parliament meets at Ottawa onThursday week,one of the questions for settlement by the men in power will be how to make up the deficit in the treasury, which, before the end of the financial year, will certainly be be- tween $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. Hugh John Macdonald told the Win- nipeg Young Conservatives the other night that to his mind there had been but four public rnen in Canada proper- ly entitled to have the term orator ap- plied to them. They were Howe, D'- Arcy McGee, Laurier and Davin. The Mulvey school -house, one of the finest additions to the Public school buildings of Winnipeg, was totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, in- cluding the Local Government muse- um. The school, which was erected in 1893, cost $25,000, and the museum was valued at about $10,000. There is an insurance of $16,800 on the school. ° Rev I. J. Lousing accused President Cleveland of immoderate drinking, in an address at the New England Confer- ence at Salem, Mass., recently. Mr. Cleveland took the matter up and pitched into the clergyman as a scand- almonger, and several of the Presid- ent's political opponents repudiate the Rev. gentleman's statements. Mr. Lansing has withdrawn his offensive charges with apologies and regrets. TEE EASTER WAR CRY -This week's War Cry, the Easter paper, is one of the most elaborate numbers yet issued from the presses of the Salvation Army in Canada. It is abundantly illustrat- ed with handsome cuts, and as a sup- plement contains an excellent copy of Hoffman's beautiful painting, "Christ before Pilate." The reading matter is unusually good, and, all told, the num- ber is one which the editor of the pa- per has reason to feel proud of, and which, no doubt, not only the mem- bers of the Army, but the community at large, will show their appreciation of by purchasing as a souvenir copy. ODDFELLOWS ANNUAL REPORT. The annual report of the Grand Sec- retary, Independent Order of Oddfel- lows, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1894, is most satisfactory, showing that the Order, notwithstanding the prevailing depression in commercial business, is still enjoying increasing prosperity. The net increase in membership for the year was 1,104, within a trifle of the best since 1879, and twelve subordinate lodges have been instituted,with every prospect of several further additions in the near future, the total membership in good standing being 21,662. During the year 3,000 brothers, 156 widows and 27 children had received sick benefits and relief amounting to $79,555.44. The total amouht paid for current expenses was $75,845.55, making total disburse- ments $155,400.99, the average cost per member for all purposes being $7.17. The total average receipts per member was $9.34, making total receipts $202,- 515.47. The funds of the society are as follows -General benefit fund, $764,- 061.45; widows' and orphans' fund, $79,- 036, and contingent fund, $17,866.55; total, $860,967. The Rebekah Branch also continues to prosper, having gained 736 members during the year, with in- crease of assets of $743.57. A YOUNG LAD AND HIS FAITHFUL FRIEND.

Spencer Millichamp, paying teller in the Bank of Toronto, shot him- self through the headin the bank offices Monday. In the absence of any known motive for suicide the friends of the deceased think the sad event may have been an accident. BORN • SMALL. -In Wingham, onMarch 28th, Mrs Robt. Small, of a son.
