FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1895.
The Rosebery Governinent has4teen
working on a very small majority for
a long time, and on Monday it was
Outvoted in the House of:Commons on
a'motion by Mr Broderick to reduce
the salary of the Secretary of War by
£100 on account of an alleged deficien-
cy in the mutitions of war. The •vote
stood 132 to 125. It was a catch vote
• and not a fair representation of the re-
lative strength of parties in the House.
Nevertheless the Goveenrnent resigned.
Lord Salisbury has agreed to form a
Government, provided the Liberal lead-
ers will not oppose the remainder of
-1r4,---the'binsiriess lb be transected in the
o House of Commons,and will not oppose
the re-election of the members of his
• Cabinet. It ia likely these points will
be yielded.
Life Insurance at its best.
The New York Insurance says:—
"We are anxiously looking forward
to the time when the Canada Life As-
surance Co. will be ready to celebrate
ite fiftieth birthday. That time is not
very fardistant. The western contin-
ent has few older life insurance organi-
zations; none with a more honorable
record."
As an evidence of the enterprise and
success of the company, we will give
our readers a, few figures. In the year
1875, the annual income of the Com-
pany was only $582,735. In 1894 it had
increased to $2,861,985, and its assets
from $2,412,362 in 1875, to $15,607,723 in
1894, and as the Company has kept its
expense much under that of any other
Life cotripany, we think its aggressive
enterprise worthy of imitation.
.As a further evidence of enterprise,
its new business for 1894 (taken up)was
$4,723,780, whereas that of the Confed-
eration was only $3,263,050, and the
Ontario Mutual $2,577,200.
Additional confirmation of its econo-
mical management may be found in
the profits paid -to its policy holders.—
Take, for instance, the case of SirOliver
Mowat, who, in 1851 took out a •$4000
whole life policy, paying annually
$94.34. In 1885 the profits had extin-
guished the premium,and the company
were then paying him $28.70 a year,
over and above his premium. In 1890
the amount had been increased to $79M0
and in 1895 to 5144.40, or $50.45 more
than his original premium.
It is doubtful if any other com-
pany can equal this magnificent show-
ing. The Canada Life is represented in
Clinton by Mr J. P. Tisdall.

Tne presiding examiners at the com-
mercial were Inspector Robb and Prin-
cipal Houston. The presiding examin-

union between Knox and Melville con-
gregations are formally arranged, a
welcome social was held on the splen-
did grounds at the manse on Tuesday
evening of this week. Abundance of
provisions were supplied by Melville

both churches were present. •After
the multitude had been fed a lengthy
and varied programme was given on
the lawn, consisting of speeches, solos,
quartettes, selections by the choir, etc.
Rev. John Ross gave an address of
welcome, which was replied to by El-
der Thos. Strachan, of Knox church.

ceeds amounting to about $50. The
band added to the pleasure of the even-
ing.
An exchange says;—Rev. W. J. Ford,
of Dresden, preached his farewell ser-
mon Sunday night, in the Methodist
church there. The church was crowd-
ed, and the aisles had to be filled with
chairs. Mr Ford's many friends are
sorry to see him leave. Both he and
Mrs Ford are very popular. He will
be stationed in Clinton in future. [Mr
Ford will occupy the pulpit of Ontario
Street church, on Sunday next.]
S.A. NOTES. — The battle of music
and song at the barracks last Thursday
night, was very interesting; there was
a fair attendance, and the program was
well arranged and rendered. Mr Thor-
ley, of Toronto, conducted a special
meeting at the barracks last Wednes-
day night. Very special meetings are
being arranged for next Sunday; the
service in the afternoon will take the
form of a song service, entitled "Little
Alice the Match Girl." The balance
sheets for the present quarter will also
be read, showing what money has been
received and how it has been spent.—
The subject for the meeting at 8 p.m.,
will be Hell in Heaven.
LOCAL UNION MEETING,—The next
LOCAL
Local Union meeting, will be held in
Rattenbury Street Methodist church
on the eyening of July 5th. This meet-
ing promises to be the best yet held.
All the speakers have promised to be

gramme of addresses:-1—Hovv best to
to interest the young people in En-
deavor work. 2—How best to prepare

of the Baptist Church, and the E. L. of
Ontario St. Church. Discussions will
follow the presentations of each topic.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
young people of the community and
the public in general.
The directors of the Huron Central
are determined that each year shall
see improvements in their already ex-
cellent exhibition. With this object
in view they have this year largely in-
creased the prize list in horses. They
also purpose adding another class for
pigs suitable for packing house pur-
poses. They offer this year a erize of
35 and $9 for collections of grains and
grasses. This should . stimulate some
of our 'farmer's sons and daughters,and
should bring out some fine collections.
The following changes in the rules
and regulations have been made: On
all prizes of $10 and upward, ten per
cent will be retained as a contribution
• to the funds of the 9ociety. In classes
where there is no competition, first
prizes oniy will be awarded. All en-
tries must be made not later than six
• o'clock on the day preceding the first
day of show; any entry made after that
date, or any change of entry, will be
• charged for at the rate of 25c for each
such entry or change. In ladies work
no article' which has taken a prize in
• former years will be allowed to com-
'pete, except when entered in collection.
The prize list is now in course of pre-
• paration, and will be mailed to all
• Members without application, and to
• any °theta who desire it, on application
tre the Secretary Wm. tjoats, Clinton.

He was in his factory, dressing lumber.
In trying to manage a warped piece
his hand slipped, and came in contact
with the machinery, badly injuring
the second and third fingers of the
right hand, leaving the little finger
hanging from the hand, attached by a
small piece ef skin, and badly lacerat-
ing a small portion of -the palm - -A
doctor was called in, who amputated
the little finger, and dressed the other
injured parts. It is doing as well as
could be expected.
ALL WERE EQUALLY GUILT Y.—A
certain party who lives not far from
this village, and his partner, whose
residence is nearer the lake, last Friday
brought from near the village of Brus-
sels, a youthful maiden,whose spark of
true womanhood had fled, and heart
lessly de 3erted her, leaving the fence to
shield, and the blue vault of heaven to
cover her. Constable Asquith arrest-
ed her on Saturday evening, wander-
ing about, and brought her before
Messrs Caldwell, Wilson and McDon-
ald, J.Ps. They instructed Constable
Asquith to escort her to Goderich forth-
with, entrusting him with a letter of
recommendation to Jailor Dickson on
her behalf, ordering him to entertain
her at Her Majesty's boarding house,
for the next 21 days. There is the one.
Where are the other two? At large.

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD—Mr W.
G. McMillan and Mr W. C. Fitzgerald,
both officers of the Fraternal Society
of "Woodmen of the World," were in
town this week endeavoring to forth a
camp in this town. While Clinton has
nearly all the societies of this kind in
its midst, we understand that their ef-
forts have been successful, and another
will be added to the list. Dr Freeborn
will be the medical examiner.
CRICKET—The Cricket Club will give
the people of Clinton the 'chance to see
the finest game of cricket that has ever
been played in this town, when the
Parkdale club of Toronto, will play a
game on Wednesday next, commencing
at 10 a.m., sharp. Our boys are in con-
stant practice and expect to put up a
good game. The Toronto Club are on
a week's tour, and are playing the 2nd
game here. Through the influence of
and indefatigable efforts of Mr Joseph
Medley, no admisaion will be charged
and seats will heprovided for the ladies.
The club would like to see the citizens
• of Clinton turn out.
was the closing day, and was spent ne
ieview before the critical review of pa-
rents and interested friends, a large
numbet �V Whom attended, A. very
pleasant 'task was performed by Rev
T. L. Armstrong and Mr John Esson,
in the presentation of some hundred
prizes to the pupils. A' number pre-
sent made speeches, en which the uni-
versal sentiment was a very high ap-
preciation of the excellent work done
by Principal McCluskey and Miss Por-
terfield, and of the satisfactory report
of the students.
A GROWING INDUSTRY. —About nine
months ago Mr W. N. Walker moved
here from Detroit, and started ag up-
holstering and mattress making estab-
lishment on Main street. Be made a
very creditable exhibit at the fall fair,
which introduced him as a clever work-
man, a reputation which is steadily in-
creasing. He does considerable furni-
ture repairing, but his main employ-
ment comes from firms in Clinton,
Goderich, etc., who send their work
here. A few days ago Mr Walker was
approached by a large firm in Seaforth
to move there and enter their employ,
but we hope he will remain here,where
he has built up a flourishing trade. Mr
Walker is industrious and careful, and
deserves his success.
SAFE BATHING.—There are no safer
bathing grounds along the lake than
those used by the hotels here, but not-
withstanding this fact we hear once in
a while of parties who say they found
unsafe places along the shore near
Bayfield. •Certainly, this may be true,
but it does not alter the truth of our
statement. If people coming here, ig-
norant more or less of the formation
of the beach, will deliberately choose
ground not commonly used for bathing
by those who live here and ought to
know, they must run the risk connect-
ed with their rashness. Among the
thousands, however, who are in the
Bayfield waters every year, not a sin-
gle drowning accident has occurred
during the last decade, while we fre-
quently hear of deaths at Goderich,
Grand Bend, etc. If visitors will bathe
anywhere away from close to the piers
but preferably south of the river, they
will find the beach as did the editor of
the Expositor, " The safest bathing
ground on Lake Huron, and a perfect
CHURCH NEWS. —Rev. T. L. Arm-
strong, of Trinity church, attended
Synod at London, last week.
Rev J. McConnell, of Chalk Lake,
formerly of Varna, occupied the pulpit
of St. Andrew's church, on Sabbath
mot ning, and Rev Mr Leech, of Varna,
in the evening.
Next Sabbath, we understand, is
Rev E. Olivaries last Sabbath in Bay-
field; he goes to Benmiller.
One of the best features in the S. A.
here for some time was the visit of the
Lassies' Brass Band, on Friday even-
ing. So novel was the sight of a dozen
fine looking young ladies marching
through town and playing musical in-
struments, that almost everyone was
out to see and hear them. They played
very sweetly indeed, and received
many words of praise from those who
listened. The singing of Capt. Scott,
an old favorite here, and Lieut. Petit,
was very much appreciated at the
evening meeting, which was well at-
tended. paradise for women and children.
The children's services in connection JUST THE THINGe—In the Clinton
with the Methodist church, on Sunday, locals last week there was a suggestion
were very interesting. The singing
and reciting by the children exhibited
good voices and training. Mr Courtice,
of Holruesville, spoke in the morning,
while Rev E. Olivant addressed a large
audience in the evening.
Everyone who attended the Trinity
• Sunday school picnic, on Tuesday, was
delighted with the pleasant time spent
at the grove. The program of amuse-
ment was excellently executed, and re-
flects great credit on all concerned.

opportune, and if acted upon would,
we believe, be profitable to the proprie-
tor of the line, and at the same time a
great convenience to Clintonians. This

Mrs Parker has purchased the house

local anglers are finding the fishing in
the river and off the piers specially
good. Messrs Hugh Grieves, of Sea -
forth, and McMurray and Bruce, of
Clinton, have rented the cottages
which have just been erected by Mr T.
J. Marks; they look very pretty with
their verandahs overlooking the lake
and the picturesque scenery of the
riyer. Picnic parties from London
road and Hullett were the happy visit-
ors to the grove and beach on Satur-
day. The S. S. Adjula, Capt. G. A.

taking on provisions; it was on its way
from Collingwood to Toronto. Court
BRIEFS. —Mr Colin Young, a student
of Queen's College, Kingston, occupied
the pulpit of the Presbyterian church
on Sabbath week. Mr James Young
last week went to Hamilton to attend
a meeting of the Grand Lodge of For-
esters. Miss Mary Sturdy went to To-
ronto to attend the session of the
Grand Lodge of the Independent Order
of Good Templars. The various Sab-
bath schools had a grand picnic on Fri-
day. Our public school is to be enlarg-
ed during the summer holidays; Mr
James Young has secured the contract.
Miss Jenkins, who has been engaged
for thepast two years in our `village
school, in the junior department, has
resigned her situation, to take effect

day, the Rev A. McLean, of Blyth, of-
ficiating; the. sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was observed on Sabbath; Rev
Mr McKay, of Leeburn, will preach

Sabbath school teachers of the Metho-
dist church were absent last Sunday,
attending the revival services at Gode-
rich. Mr Acheson, of Goderich, has
opened a branch store here, under the
management of Mr W. F. Youngblut,
in Mr G. F. Youngblut's building. Mr
D. Munro has sold out his hardware to
Mr Wel tlaufer, purposing to go into
boots and shoes instead; opposition is
the life of trade, so it is stated, and we
may expect lively times here now. Mr
C. Howson and J. P. Brown are busy
at present purchasing horses, intend-
ing to start next week for the old coun-
try with a car load. Mr Munro Baer
is busy putting up a new house at pre-
sent; Mr Jas. Young has the contract.
Crop reports from ()velem show that this

THANKS, BROTHER. — Accept crur
bumble thanks, brother Brucefield, for
your kindness in calling our attention
to the fact that there is such a thing
as the fourth commandment. We in
Bayfleld might soon forget about it if
we mixed very much with the crowds
from Brucefield and neighbor hood who
come here on Sunday, but we have
three evangelical churches and one of
the largest Salvation Army corps in
the county, who counteract the evil'
effect of our friends from Brucefleld.
But our fellow scribe seems to have a
wrong ides. of Slinday at Bayfield.
Though so many come here, the Sab-
bath is strictly observed, so far at least
as the Bayfield authorities are respon-
sible. While this is the case, it re-
mains a matter of conscience with the
visitors, and not a matter on which we
can either censure or be censured. As
long as our Sunday guests conduct
themselves as well as they have here-
tofore, the ERA correspondent will
welcome them in the name of the Bay-
field people.
