Clinton Is the best town in Huron County The Toronto World states that Hon. J. C. Patterson will not represent West Huron during the present ses- sion of parliament, as he intends to leave for California at once, and will enter on his duties as Lieut -Governor of Manitoba in .lune. The Toronto ladies who were respon- sible for yesterday's issue of the Globe certainly showed themselves to be equal to any emergency, and capable of producing a first-class paper. We would like to share up with thein nn advertising receipts of the day. But they omitted that all-important and pertinent inquiry " Has the N.P. made you rich?" Mr. Sifton, Attorney -General of the Manitoba Government, took an active part in Haldimand election, in opposi- tion to Dr. Montague, declaring io the most emphatic manner that the Mani- toba government wculd not recognize the remedial order in any shape or form. The Haldimand people refused to act on Mr Sifton's advice, and gave Montague nearly 700 of a majority. It now remains for the government to enforce the order. ONTARIO LEGISLATURE The session of the Legislature which has just been completed has not been specially exciting, but it has been more than usually interesting. The Mowat Government star. ted with little more than a bare majority while the Conservatives and Patrons made up almost half the house. Very soon after the session opened it became apparent that the Patrons had no intention to join either party formally, but it became ap- parent also that they were on the whole more in sympathy with the government than they were with the Opposition. This was doe, in part at least, to the fact that members of the Opposition adopted the tac- tics of selecting as amendments to supply planks taken from the Patron,,;pl$form, thus compelling the Patrons eithet�_ vote against their own principles or telt, ar to the public se allied with the posit- ion against the government. Thisinind of strategy proved more i nrtatin 3 than effect- ive, for divisions taken on sash tactical mi- nes deceive nobody. The net result of the divisions taken during the session has been to increase the prestige of the government, rather than diminish it. This effect has been enhanced by the remarkable energy and versatility of the venerable Premier, Sir Oliver Mowat. Those who know him best and who have seen most of his leader- ship in previous seasione are unanimous in the opinion that this one has shown no falling off either in physical endurance, in mental power, or in those social qualities which have done more than almost any- thing else to make him the political power be is in this province. Confederation Life. The Globe is pleased to call attention to the fact, in connection with the annual report of the Confederation Life Aesooia • tion, that although the year was one of de- pression, as Sir William Howland, the Pres- ident, stated, yeten advance has been made all along the line. New policies were written for $3,628,204. An increase in pay- ments to policy -holders for the year was made to the extent of $544.134; increase in aeaeta, $350,701; and after making full pro- vision for the reserve under the increased amount Of id aranee in fotoe a net oath sur- plus over all liabilities was shown of $301,- 673. This progress is all the greater, as it bas been made without departing from the conservative lined always adopted by the management of this association, and, judg- ing from what the direotore stated at the meeting, se to the good investment the new Confederation Life building is province to be, it ehonhiinsure for the policyholders of this assooia$iihi a future which will coin - pare with any other life insurance company. —Toronto Globe. {Mt Israel Taylorfett :local representative of this Company ane ?will be pleased to interview those who conl- ititnplate insuring. LODGE OF INSTRUCTION A Lodge of Instruction in Craf Masonry wa,held in the Mason is Hall, Clinton, on Tuesday April 10, under direction of the D.D.G M., Rt. Wor. Bro. Collins, of Exeter The program, as laid down, was Carrie out with very little variation. Man brethren from outside lodges were pre sent. Maitland Lodge, Goderich, exemppli- fled the work in the opening and clos- ing exercises of the First Degree, which was done with the utmost accuracy. The honor of conferring the First Degree having been set aside for Te- cumseh Lodge, Stratford, this duty the Stratford Brethren performed in a manner that not only reflected credit upon the officers, but established a de- sire on the par t of the other brethren present to be brought more frequently into the companionship of those from Stratford, whose magnificent work on this occasion had so forcibly illustrated their abilities as craftsmen. Blyth Lodge opened in the Second Degree, and also conferred the degree, and thevwork of these brethren was of such a character that no fault could be found with it, despite the fact that among the critics of the evening were some of the brightest and most intel- lectual Masonic lights of the district. Lebanon Forest Lodge, of Exeter, performed the work of opening and closing in the ThirdDegree,and it would be superfluous to say th:,t the work was well and truly executed, when the fact is called to mind that this lodge illustrates craft masonry under the keen and critical eye of no less a light in masonry than the present D.D.G.M. Bro. Collins, of Exeter. Clinton Lodge No. 84 performed the work of conferring the Sublime Degr ee of a Master Mason, and to use the cri- ticism of the D.D.G.M., he said that"he had had the privilege of witnessing many of the hest lodges in the jurisdic- tion confer this degree, and he could conscientiously say that to his mind No.84 perfortned its work equal to any and second to no other lodge in his jurisdiction." The committee on the work, whose duty it was to give rulings on technical points, consisted of Rt. \Vor. Brother Shaw, Brussels; Wor. Bro. McKellar, and Wor. Bro. McFadden, Stratford; Wor. Bro.Emigh, Blyth; Rt.\'Vor.Bro, Humber, Goderich; Wor. Bro. Gidley, Blyth, and Wor.Bro. Greene, Goderich The labors of the evening having been completed, the brethren adjourned to refreshments, supplied by Bro. Walter Courts. After having satisfactorily participated in the good cheer, the fol- lowing toast list was announced by the Worshipful Master, Bro. J. W. Shaw: The Queen and Craft.

METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL, CLINTON. Successful, interesting and profitable were the anniversary services held in connection with Rattenhury St. Meth- odist church, on Sunday and Monday East. On Sunday morning Rev. J. W. Shilton, of Walkerton, addressed the children from the words "My cup run- neth over," and had a striking object lesson in connection with it. Into a glass dish partially filled with water, (surrounded by lowers as an indication of the good things surrounding our lives) he poured water from other ves- sels labelled good health, blessings. raiment, &c., showing how God poured into our lives these things; then he emptied a tumbler labelled "anger and lies' into the vessel, which turned the liquid black; after showing how our lives became unpure he used another fluid, indicating blood, and pouring it into the vessel, caused it to overflow and become all a bright red color, B- luster ting how the life was purified by the life -blood of Christ. There were many excellent points in the discourse, po alrofitl.able not only to the children, but t The afternoon exercises were in the nature of an Easter responsive service, interspersed with suitable recitation and singing. Among those taking part were:—Recitations, Master Dun can Stevenson, Mable Doherty, Olive Helyar, Maud Moffatt, Maggie Davis, Flora Cuninghame. Quartettes, Miss Rumhall, Mrs Chown, Mr Sibley and Mr Holloway; double quartette by those named and also Misses Miller, Gcodwin and Messrs Gauleyand Holmes. Duet, Misses Clara olmes and Vire od He wo . Solos Sadie adie J oy and Elsie Kinsman. A ten minute address by Rev. Mr Shilton on "The Resurrection" closed the afternoon service. The exercises on Mon day even ing were of the usual anniversary cnaracter. Af- ter the opening, the Secretary, Mr Bees- ley, read the following report concern- ing the school:—Enrolled membership, 319; an increase of 12 over last year; average attendance, 224, a slight in- crease over last year; verses committed to memory by girls, 5,732; by boys, 3,331. No. of papers distributed to the scholars, Onward, 4,420; Northern Messenger, 4,945; HappyDays and Sun- beams, 1.040. The receipts, including a balance from last year, were $258.30. while the expenditure was the same. The program embraced the follow- ing:—Recitations by Ethel Doherty. Floretta Stephenson, Maud Andrews, Grace Shepherd, Mary Lough, Silas Andrews, Leonard Heywood, Duncan Stevenson, Elsie Bruce, Norman Webb, Fred Stephenson, Olive Cooper, Ida Heywood, Lottie Cook, Ruby .Bruce, Jimmie Doherty, Wilfred Stephenson, Nonie Miller. Solos by Mr Sibley, Bessie Doherty, Earl Seale. Duets by Sadie and Nellie Joy, Vire Heywood and Alve Potts. Quartettes by Misses Miller, Goodwin, R Gauley and E. Holmes; double quartette, Mrs Chown, Miss Rumball, Mr Sibley, Mr Hollo- way Miss Miller, Miss Goodwin, R. Gainey and E. Holmes; Mrs Chown, Miss Rumhall, Mr Sibley- and Mr Hol- loway. Reading by Mahle Doherty. All the scholars performed their parts admirably, but Ruby and Elsie Bruce and Bessie Doherty, all little tots, did exceedingly well. A feature not down on the program was the presentation of a burse ot $50 to Mr Sibley, who for a const*able time has been leader of the singing, and who has been uare-: • South Huron Spring Show. The annual entire stook show under the auspices of the South Huron Agrioultural society was held at Bruoefield on Friday last. The morning was very favorable, but about noon a cold, drizzling rain set in, no doubt -keeping many away and mak. ing it unpleasant for those3who had come. It was generally thought that this being the only entire stook show in the county this year, there would be a good turn out both of people and stook. This expectation, however, was not realized, as the atten- dance of people was small and the compe- tition was light in every class. We have seen a larger number of horses in one class in former years than gy.as on the ground all told on Friday. There were not many bulls, but those exhibited were well worth looking at. There was not an inferior animal in the lot. The following is a list of the prizes awarded: HORSES.—Imported heavy draught, -1st Alex. Innes' "Joe Anderson," 2nd, A. B. Holbert's "Bismarck;" Three years old,— S. Smillie & Son. Canadian draught, two years old,—Geo. Taylor's "Canary Scotch - man." Aged oarriage,—lst Thos. Bisset, Exeter, 2nd Wm. Levy, Blyth. Aged road. sters,—lst John Beacom, 2nd Peter Mc- Gregor, Bruoefield, 3rd Robt. Brook, Tuck. ersmith. Three year olds,—Geo. Whitely, Seaforth. Bungs.—Aged Durham,—W. J. Biggins, Clinton; Durham, calved since September 20th, 1892,—D. D. Wilson, Seaforth; R. Charters and sons, Tuckersmith; Elcoat Brothers, Tuckersmith; Durham Bull, calved since September,1,93,—D.D.Wilson. Hereford Bull,—Alex. onteith, Tucker - smith. Mr. Biggins' bel was awarded the sweepstakes for the beet bull on the ground. At a union meeting of the directors of the South Huron and Stephen and Usborne ag- ricultural societies held the same day, it was decided to hold a union fall show under the joint auspices of the two societies at Exeter this year, and for which a liberal premium list and other attractions will be offered. The show will be held at Exeter on the first Monday and Tuesday after the Western Fair at London. —Expositor. • CORRESPONDENCE. [We are in no way responsible for anything appearing under this heading.—Enl CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA. To the Editor of the Vew Era : DEAR SIR.—Having read in your last week's issue that there had been a mad dog distributing its poison to ether dogs in your vicinity, I forward the following remedy in case any person should happen to be bitten by such a brute. The receipt was given me by Mr Orr, a gentleman of this village, and to his personal knowledge the cure has been effective in instances where the symptons have even begun to manifest themselves. The remedy should be made use of as soon as possible after the accident. The receipt is as follows:—Take oyster shell lime, hen egg, and olive oil; mix with enough flour to make it eatable, and eat only this for breakfast for three successive mornings. Like many a medi- cine it is very nnpalalable bat very effic"a- cions. I send above with my friend's ap- proval. Hoping no-one will have need to test it I:remain, truly yours, A. K. Bines, Teeswater. SCHOOL MATTERS. To the Editor of the (Tinton New Era. DEAR Sin, --In your last tsane I notice an item to the effect that the Model School trustees were about to expend a thousand dollars on a heating apparatus for the school, and that they have a surplus of $500 on band to commerce the work with. Now, sir, your correspondent would be very glad indeed, if any one would come forward and tell us wbere this great surplus came from. Was it not taken out of the tax -payers of our town? And is it not money that was included in the estimates of previous year, more than was actually required for the yearly expense of the sohool? The tax- payers are not over loaded with money, no matter how muoh they may be with taxes. Some years ago the school board appointed a commiltttee to report on the advisability of heating the building with hot-air fur- s paces; they made an investigation of the building and the difficulties to be overoom- , and decided that it would be neceesany to excavate five feet below the present founda- tion, and that it would simply behole in the ground at best, and rei.ortet against the change being made , (as all furnaces should have not less than seven feet.) There have bo.ii a great many fires re- ported in the press the last... few weeks, that have taken plane in sohool houses, churches e to.oaueed byfurnaces. naoet. In order to heat buildings by furnaces, it is necessary that they should be built with that in view. They should have good base- ments, and if the trustees do away with the stoves that have been heating the sohool for the past twenty-five years, do they imagine that all the difficulties will have been overcome. I think a little more com- mon sense would overcome many difficul- ties. A few days ago I passed through a fine sohool house, twice as large as ours, and fitted up with „every convenience. In this school hot-air fnrnaeee were used for some time, but they never gave satisfaction, and now they have put in the moat im- proved steam heating system, at a Dost of over $1,600, and this has not given satisfac- tion. The trustees have still gone to an- other expense, imagining the difficulty was in the fine; they have placed sixty-five feet of 12 -inch glazed Scotch tile in the chim- ney, and still it does not satisfy; and now these same trustees are about to build it twelve or fifteen feet farther heavenward. I mention these faote to show that other places have their troubles with the whims of the eduoatore of the rising generation. The trustees should remember that half the taxes go for school pnrposee, and how is the council to keep miles of sidewalk and streets, culverts and water courses in order, pay for eleotrio lights, and meet all the re- quirements of the town, and not raise the taxes. I would suggest that the trnatees collect the eelpol taxes for themselves, and not throw th responsibility on the'oounoil. I have. often beard the remark made that stoves are not healthful. How many chil- dren live in hooses where only stoves are used, and where they have not high ceil- ings, such as the sohool has, nor the same arrangements for ventilating, and yet we do not hear of eickness arising from this cantle. This talk about making the sohool, more healthful is a bot • , the stoves ars properly used looked after. Yonre, axe,• W. O. Bialas'. TIIE BYE ELECTIONS Dr, Montague elected 'by nearly 700 majority Liberals Win one Seat and hold another. On Wednesday bye elections to fill vacancies in the Dominion House of Commons, took place in four constitu- encies. Iri Haldimand Dr. Montague was op- posed by a McCarthy candidate, the Liberals taking no part in the contest. The fight was an exceedingly hot one, and while Montague's election was ex- pected, his majority of 047 is somewhat surprising. The contest in Quebec West was be- tween McGreevy, of boodling fame, and Dobell, both Conservatives, but the tat' er a free trader. Dobell was elected by 7, which a recount may change. In Antigonish, N.S., the seat held by the late Sir Johp Thompson, the candi- dates were Mr Chisholm, brother-in-law of the late Premier, and Hon.C.F. Mc - Isaac, was the Liberal candidate. He resigned from the Legislature to con- test this election, and was successful in redeeming the seat by 114 majority. The only seat in the four which was formerly represented by a Liberal was Vercheres, Que. Mr. Geoffrion, bro- ther of the late member, was the Lib- eral candidate, and Mr. Bisaillon, the Conservative nominee. The Liberal held the seat by 157 majority.

Gerrie was visited last week by profess ional burglars, but they got nothing of value, Master Willie Howard, Exeter, narrowly escaped serious injury by being wound around a shaft in the planing mill, Mr. John Treble purchased 34 agree of the old Westcott farm close to Exeter from $2, Mr,000. John Willis, last week, for the sum of Mr. T, A. Brown, who taught Exeter Public School for four years, has been ap- pointed teacher of music in the Stratford Publie Schools at a remunerative salary. Mr. John Crioh, of Tuckersmith, who by the way, is over seventy years of age, be- gan to plough on the eighth of this month, and worked at it all morning, but had to stop on account of the frost. Mr. D. D. Wilson has sold the east Mun• dell farm, in Tuckersmith, lately occ-apied by Mr. Gibson, to Mr. Joseph Atkinson, for the sum of $4,350. Mr. Atkinson has been Mr. Wilson's farm and stock foreman for several years. A three -weeks' old child of Duncan and Mrs. Campell's, con. 2, Morris, was buried in the Wingham cemetery on Monday. Owing to the high water it was impossible to get tt• town by the public highway, so those who attended bad to walk in by way of the L. H. B. railway track. The 200 acre farm in Morris, adjoining Wingham, belonging to the Brant Estate, was purchased by Mr. Malcolm Lamont, of town, for $6,030. The 25 acre farm in East \Vawano th, belonging to the same estate, was • purchased by Yr. Wm- Linklater,sr., for $590. The schedule of convictions issued by the Clerk of the Peace for the quarter ending in March ie one of the smallest in the his- tory of the County—only 14 cases in all. Eight of these were for violations of lily .r act, but convictions were had in only three; aside from these, the fines aggregated only $19. A veritable pioneer of Turnberry town- ship expired on Tuesday, in the person of John Kelly, who had reached the age of 91 years and one month. Deceased, who had resided in the township from the time it was a forest, was known far -and wide by reason of his peculiarcustom of not wearing a hat, and was familiarly known as Bare- headed Kelly. NEWS NOTES The L3cal House was prorogued on Tues. day. Mr. Geo. Betts of Chatham blew out his brains with a gun while temporary in- sane. Jacob Bock, an elderly esident of Port - Elgin, was found dead, hanging to a beam in his barn. Mr. Hector Wager was hit by a flying board in Lockwood's sawmill near Enter- prise a d killed. The Rev.

The extradition of Mrs Mack, who is al- leged to be implicated in the postage stamp swindle in Hamilton, Ont., has been asked for by the United States authorities. Engineer Farr of Winnipeg has been ar- reston ed a charge of attemptingti ng to barn the house in which hie wife and children were sleeping. He has since escaped. A telegraph messenger boy in Pembroke named John Harvey was oPught in the belt- ing of the machinery in Beatty's sash factory in that town, and was killed almost instantly. A severe earthquake was felt throughout Austria, Italy and adjacent parts of Europe Monday, which did serious damage to churches and buildings of all kinds. At Trieste 31 shooks were felt in seven hours and several persons were killed by falling walls. The Canadian Business College, of Chat- ham, is meeting with great success in get- ting its students placed in good positions. Week before last, John McMahon, 9ne of the students, secured a position in the office of the Dayton Paper Novelty Co. piChioago, last week, Wm. S.

Insurance in all branches has during the past decade been so diligently and persist- ; early planed before the Canadian public, that few men are unacquainted with at, least some of the benefits to be derived therefrom. It is not the intention of this article to deal with insurance generally, but more espeoially with that system of insurance called the ENDOWMENT PLAN. Under this form of policy immediate and complete provision is made for thedepend- ent ones in the event of syhe death of the insured, and, at the samel.• time capital is built up from year to year to be used by the insured himself in his old age, or at snob time when he feels he would lake to retire from active busipees life. By the exercise of ;foresight, and the observance of the well-known precept, "Make hay while the sumshinee," a man can, by taking out an endowment policy in the CONFEDERATION LIFE ASSOCIATION, provide for the necessities cf himself and his family, and in the day of adversity save himselfand them from dependence upon friends or the cold oharity ot the world. In foot, there is no other way in which one can save or invest money more wisely or to grealter advantage. The money invested will give a better return than if the same amount had been deposited in the bank, or similar institution, carrying with it as well all the benefits of life insurance proper. The unconditional Accumulative endow- ment policy offers to the insured the great- est number of benefits and advantages ever embodied in any one contract. It is absolutely free from all restrictions. It has but one condition, namely: the payment of the premium. It allows thirty days grace in payment of renewal premiums. It offers six modes of settlement at the end of the dividend period. It is absolutely and automatically non - forfeitable after two years, the insured being entitled'to (a) Extended insurance, without applica• tion, tor the full' amount of the policy for the further period of time definitely set forth in the policy, or on surrender to a (b) Paid up policy, the amount of which is written in the policy, or after five years to a (c) Cash value as guaitanteed in the polioy. Thus after two yesMs premiums have been paid, even should the insured be un- able to make any further payments, he will receive full value for the money he has al- ready invested, as per following illustra- tions; EXTENDED INSURANCE. An applicant, age 30, takes out a policy for $5,000 on the 20 year Endowment Plan; annual premium $216.50. He pays, we will say, for seven years, and fails to pay his eighth annual premium. Without any application on his part, the full amount of the policy ($5,000) would be narried for the balance of the term, namely, 13 years, and if living at the end of that time (the date the original policy would have matured, had it been duly kept in force) the insured would also receive in cash the sum of $975. In other words, his risk for $5,000 has been carried by the company for 20 years, and, in addition, he receives at the end of that time $.975, for which he has paid only seven years' premiums, PAIL -Up POLICY. On application within three months of the time the third annual of any subsequent premium fell due, and was not paid, the insured would be entitled (on application) to receive a Paid-up Policy for as many tenth, fifteenth or twentieth parts as there haveebeen annual premiums paid. Example: Under a 20 year endowment policy for $5,000, two years paid, the paid-up policy would be for 2-20 of $5,000 or $500; five years paid, 5-20 of $5,000 or $1,250. CASH VALUE. After five years the insured would be en. titled on application to a cash value based on a certain percentage of the Government Reserve definitely stated in the policy. We do not wish to make any invidious comparisons with other companies. The intending insurer who is not satisfied that this is the best policy contract issued to- day will make inquiries for himself. We are satisfied that on doing so he will decide in favor of an endowment policy in the CONFEDERATION LIFE ASSOCIATION. Rates and any other information desired will be furnished on application to Mr Israel Taylor, Clinton, who is local agent. SALE REGISTER.
