This is not the opinion of traders." We don't know where the Mail gets the opinion of traders, for their opin- ion is precisely as stated by the Ex- positor. Vessel -men ridicule the Can- dian canal, and speak of it in terms of derision, and the main point in its favor is that Canadians are not de- pendent on the American canal. Out- side of this, it was not necessary to construct the canal at all. But the locks of the American Canal will al- low of four boats to stand abreast in them; those of the Canadian canal will barely allow two. Shipping men know what this means, and know also the greater advantage of the American canal. Now that Hon. J. C. Patterson has forsaken West Huron for the more lucrative and honorable position of Lieut. -Governor of Manitoba, we hope the government will defer the election in this riding. We would hate like everything to lick the government in such sultry weather as this. f.. it CLINTON' ERA of the ministry of Christ, illustratedMr Cline, a Winona Farmer, Bold hie sea - by colored charts; Jesus, the S.S.;teaeh- er's ideal; vital steps in teaching. Mr McEwen is a first class man at. this work. A reception. under the auspices of the young people of Willis church, for the students of the town, will be held on the grounds of the manse this (Fri- day) evening. The E. L. of C. E. of Ontario Street Methodist church will hold a Harvest Horne dinner on the evening of Mon- day, Sept. 16th. Special services will be held on Sunday, Sept. 15th, morn- ing and evening. The program for Monday evenings is in the hands of an energetic committee. The Rural Deanery Meeting for the County of Huron, was held in St.Paul's Sunday School Room, on Tdesday. The Rev. Canon Young suet the clergy and lay representatives, and laid be- fore them a uniform scheme for the purpose of furnishing means for Mis- sion work in the Diocese. The assess- ment committee elected are Rev Rural Dean Hodgins, Revs M. Turnbull and J. F. Parke, and Messrs. I-iolmestead of Seafcr th and J. Ransford. Town Council. The regular meeting of the council was held on Monday evening. On the reading of the minutes, Mr. Searle took exception to the grant of $25 to- wards the improves ent of the Colborne road, on the ground that people were not consistent in standing by their own town. It was decided to put 50 cords of gravel on the streets, to be procured from Dyke's pit. 'Deputy - reeve Cantelon would have preferred to get the gravel from our own pit, but this was shown to belmpracticable. The committee decided to fix the water table in front of Mr Geo. Cook's. FINANCE. • The Finance committee recommend- ed payment of the following accounts: Davis & Rowland, $5.50; B. Josling, teaming, $1.55; A. M.

Reynolds, $30; weigh scales, $20,55; hall rent $2; rent of barber shop, $5. Receipts of Cemetery, $43,25. The Street Committee also reported that in reforeni a to the petition re opening of Isaac street, nothing more could be done until Mr McGar•va's re- turn. The Fire and Water committee re- commended the extension of the hydrant system to some point near McMurray & W iltse's; the purchase of an additional play pipe and suction hose; while the Council admitted the propriety of extending the hydrant, the cost Was considered too great to be undertaken this year, and the report was amended to omit that portion. The estimates were submitted. The only increases over last year were $400 to the Public school board and $100 more for street watering, calling for a rate of 21 mills on the dollar. Tile Council pruned these down, re- ducing the Property estimates by $100; the cemetery by $25, the Park by $50 and the incidentals by$100, making an estimated 'reduction in expenditure of, $275; on motion of councillor Bruce, seconded by Deputy -reeve Cantelon, the rate was fixed at 20i mills on the dollar. The Street Committee were instruct- , ed look after the terminus of Mary St. drain. Mr Searle introduced a resolution seconded by Ri eve Kennedy to lower the electric light on the corner of Rattenbury and Orange St. but the motion did not carry. Mr Searle then tendered his re- signation as a member of the board, but the Mayor declared it out of order, and did not receive it. Some of the Toronto business men, opened the eyes of the new G. T. R. President, the other day, in an inter- view with him. They proposed cer- tain reforms in the service, which, in their opinion, are absolutely neces- sary. But Sir Charles Wilson evident- ly thought the changes were too radi- cal, and declines to recommend them. Unless the G.T. R. management is pre- pared to make some very radical re- forms, the line will never be what it should be—financially or otherwise. It is not up-to-date in many respects and the Canadian public know it: From West Huron to Winnipeg On Monday the Hon. J. C. Patter- son was formally sworn in as Lieut.- Governor of Manitoba, and enters at once upon, the duties of his position. The people of Manitoba will not take kindly to their new Governor, not be= cause he lacks any of the qualities ne- cessary for the performance of the duties, but because he is an Ontario man. They think, and are at no pains to conceal their opinion, that Manito- ba is big enough and old enough to raise its own Governors. They ask how Ontario would relish having a Manitoban or a Nova Scotian appoint- ed to the Governorship of this Pro- vince, and why does not the Domin- ion Government experiment upon Quebec by sending it a Governor from British Columbia? There are several able-bodied Manitobans, who could' have been prevailed upon to accept the responsibility of succeeding Sir John Schultz. These considerations will modify the warmth of the welcome which Mr Patterson will receive upon his arrival at Winnipeg. However, the appointment is made, and the Manitobans will have to grin and hear it. Governor Patteteon is 56 years old. He was born at Armagh, Ireland, and educated at Dublin. His father was Rev. James Patterson, of Kings- ton, near Dublin. He practised law in Windsor, Ontario, and was elected to the Provincial Legislature as mem- ber for Essex in 1875, and to the House of Commons in 1878. In 1892 he be - carne amember of the Abbott Govern- ment, as Minister of Militia, and has since represented West Huron, being elected here over M. C. Cameron by a majority of 18, in which constituency a vacancy is produced by his present appointment to office. Following the recent Westmore:and precedent, a new election will have to be held here, though the troubleand expense will:be wasted if Parliament is to dissolve be- fore another session is held. Mr Pat. terson was a good organizer and did very effective work for the Conserva- tive party in Western Ontario. His health has not been good for some time, but the climate of Manitoba is very bracing, when reinforced by a good, fat salary. It made a well man of Dr. Schultz, who had been an inva- lid for many years before his appoint- ment. Crisp County U11ppiugs son's fruit crop for $4,000 on the ground.

For the last four years, conventions have been held regularly by the Huron County Chi istian Endeavor, which union embraces all societies who have adcpted the essential principles of Young People's Christian work, viz:— the pledge and consecration meeting. This year the convention was held in Blyth Presbyterian church, and excell- ed all former ones in point of number and interest. Too much credit cannot be given the 1895 local committee for their untiring efforts in receiving and welcoming the delegates end the socie- ties of Blyth for their excellent decor- ations, and the very well arranged sociable and tea which was given in the basement of the Methodist church. All the Christian people of Blyth re- ceived the Endeavorers very kindly, and opened their homes to welcome them during the Convention. The Convention opened on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd and closed Wednesday, Sept. 4th. It is said that the Presbyterian church never before held such an immense crowd as were present on Wednesday everting, and the sessions all through were largely attended. Full report next week. Church Chimes. The young people of Rattenbury St. church purpose holding an "At Home" on the evening of Friday, Sept. 13th. Miss McWhinney is performing the duties of leader of Willis church choir for a couple of Sundays. Bishbp O'Connor will give confit ora- tion in St. Joseph's church, Clinton, on Tuesday next, Sept. 10th, at 10.3(1 a. in. The official board of Petrolia Metho- dist church has made an appropriation of $1000 as salary for Rev. W. Smyth, and also assumes the Superannuation Fund. The membershipof this church is represented by nearly 380 tamilies. Harvest Thanksgiving services will be held by Rev. L. W. Diehl on Sun- day next as follows: — Summerhill, 11 a.m.; Holmesville, 8 p.m.; Middle- ton, 7. p.rn. Liberal offertories for church improvements are solicited. Additional Local News. Mr James Harrison, who was a resident of Morris for over thirty years, has taken up laud in Muskoka and will remove hie family there shortly. Mr John S. Brown, of McKillop, sowed a field of fall wheat cn Monday, the 20th Au- gust. This is the first fall wheat seeding we have heard of this season. Mrs R. Carmichael, Seaforth,whowas re- cently so unfortunate as to have her arm broken in two places by a fall, is progress. ing favorably, and the injury will not be permanent. Last year Geo. M. Elliot, Goderioh, gro- cer, shipped 2,500 baskee of fruit. This season he has shipped—not one. That shows what the fruit crop in this section amounts to. Teddy Winfield, formerly with T. A. Mille, Wingham, is now managing a branch of the great house conducted by Rothschild & Co., Chicago and New York. The head house in the Windy City employs 2,500 hands. A GOOD PROSPECT.—Farmers report that the ground was never in better condition than this season. The dry weather left the ground loose; there being none of the usual heavy showers to pack it, and the late rains have put it in fine working condition The ground is also cleaner than usual, the hot weather not having been favorable to the growth of weeds. The early close of the harvest gives a long sea- son for fall work, and the prospect is that an immense breadth of land will be sown this fall, and that the seed will be got in under the most favorable conditions. son, an employe of the Stewart Man. Co., Woodstock, the other afternoon, the re• 11 suit of which may be disfigurement for life. While casting the white hot fluid in his ladle exploded, splashing on his face and body and burning him severely. The following from La Petrie shows the estimation in which Mr Laurier is held by those who know him test:—"During the entire time he has been chief he has never committed an error. He is poor, he has sacrifice -3 ungrudgingly his personal fortune in the puUio service and at the demand of his party. He has gone from platform to platform in each Province to tell the good story of better times and free trade. He has generously given his time, his energy and his means to the service of the country, and he has for his recompense the sincere friendship of his supporters in Parliament, the enthusiaetic adhersion of the Liberals everywhere, and the respect of his adversaries to a grerter extent than any party chief has ever enjoyed in Canada." Mr Peter McKay, deputy -reeve of Tuck- ersmith, who has purchased a tract of land in Algoma, is about to go to that district to build a new saw -mill. His brother Dan intends going with him. Mr H. Horton, teacher of school section No. 10, Tuckersmith, had to dismiss school one day last week, because one of the small- er animals' had sought its last resting place under the school floor. The youngest daughter, Edie, of Mr John Maudson, Chiselhnrst, had the mis- fortune to have one of 'her eyes plugged out by her younger brother, while at play, with a pair of scissors. The little girl thus loses the sight of one of }ler eyes for life. A thorougbred berkahire hog belonging to Mr John Agen, 7th line, Morris, was struck and killed by lightning on Tuesday evening of last week. The animal was lying beside the fence dead when found shortly after the storm. Mr Michael Purcill, of McKillop, says he has been farming in that township for over 40 years, and he does not remember of any year when there was such a universally good crop as this year. Advices from Rev Dr and Mrs Ure, of Goderich, at Danville, N. Y., report the Doctor much improved by his treatment at the Sanitorium there, and with good prospects of renewing somewhat of hie old vigor and activity. His many friends in this county much regret the continued illness of Barrister J. R. Miller, formerly I.P.B. in West Huron. He is not improving as much as his family would like. The health of his brother Richard, clerk of West Wawanosh, has al- ae been somewhat poor lately. Mr Robert Gordon, one of the oldest set- tlers of McKillop, died on Thursday of last week. Mr Gordon had reached the unusu- al age of 86 years. He was a native of Sather landshire, Scotland, and came to Canada about 54 years ago. He was a con• sietent member of the Preebyterian church, and a staunch Liberal in politica. BUSINESS M.'.TTERs.—Messrs Plum - steel & Gibbings, who have conducted businessthere for some years, announce their intended retirement at the end of the year. This is simply due to the desire to take life a little easier than is possible when engaged in commercial pursuits. Mr Plumsteel, we believe, will give his personal attention tthe management of his two farms in Tuckersmith, while Mr Gibbings will take life easy. Some persons have assumed that be- cause Mr Will Jackson has taken an interest in the new flrm of Jackson & Jackson, it necessarily means his with- drawal from the old and popular flrm of Jackson Bros. This is a mistake, as the new arrangement involves no change in the old. Mr Will Jackson's capacity for business is such that he could be identified with half -a -dozen differentconcerns, without worry or confusin, and he would infuse life and activity into them all. The *forth Sun says:—The removal of Mr�a*d Mrs ffackson from Seaforth will be generally regretted, as both are very popular citizens. Mr Jackson, during his residence here having always evinced an active in trest in the town's doings. In musical circles he will be especially missed. They will be heartily welcomed back to Clinton, their native town. They have the best wishes of the Seaforth people for their future prosperity. Now that the fall season is here, and farmers will do more trading than in the summer, they should bear in mind that Clinton merchants handle the very best lines of all classes of goods and sell at prices that cannotbe sur- passed by dealers in any other place. Clinton is the place for all who wish to do there trading to the best advantage. The E. L. C. E. of Ontario Street Methodist church will hold a harvest home on September 16th, in the base- ment of the church. An energetic committee has the arranging of a pro- gram in hand. Special services will be held in the church on the previous Sunday mot ning and evening. - The official board of the Methodist church, Brussels, has invited the Misses Hall, of Guelph, to assist the pastor in conducting special evangelistic services during the month of October. The ladies referred to have been remark- ably successful in this department of church work. On Sunday last Mr Hugh A. Mc- Pherson, of Galt, and sistant to Dr. McDonald, Seafot th, led the Pres- byterian pulpit here, gi ing t V0 very practical and interesting sermons. After the evening service he\del}-vered a short, bat spicy, address tolife C. is on their subject for the evening, "En- thusiasm." Mr McPherson gives pro- mise of becoming one of the shining lights of the Presbyterian church, be• ing a young man of pleasing address and good physique. Rev.

"Bill Arp" is one of the most entertain- ing writers in the Southern press of this country, and he has recently been impress- ing upon the youth of America the de irability of life insurance. He Bays:— 'Life insurance is the beet savings bank in the world for a young man. He gate it so cheap. Now, here I am, old and poor, and am carrying only $2,000 on my life, and it costs me $75 a year ;and it is a hard struggle to meet the premiums. I began only five years ago. Too late! Too late! But I must hold on until I whip the fight. I'll whip it sure if I hold on, for old Father Time is backing me. If I bad begun at 21 or 35 the premiums would have been about $40, and the dividends would have been paid on that long before this. I heard a man say the other day that he paid on $10,000 for twenty years, and now has a paid-up policy and draws dividends on it just like it was stock in a bank.

After that period cash dividends are paid every five years, and the policy increases in cash valve from year to year. Ask Mr Israel Taylor, Clinton, local agent, or Mr W. Taylor, General agent for the county, to show you these policies. Albert MoDonald, 15 years old, of Chi. Dago, shot himself because he was growing too fast, being nearly six feet -tall. His brother, 13 years old, died a short time ago, being six feet two inches in height, of a dis- ease peculiar to such a rapid growth, and Albert, fearing he would go the same way, took his life. His fad:L.!' was mysterionsly murdered a year ago. his body being found on a railroad track near bis home. A . Great . Saving .. To Books.

Conductor Parker called in She services of Chief Bullard, of Wingham, one night last week, to arrest a young man who re- fused to pay"his fare on the train. He pro. tested that he had bought a ticket at Sar- nia for Kincardine, but inquiry showed that a ticket bad not been sold at that place for Kincardine that day. On some person in Kincardine paying his fare, the young man was allowed to proceed on his journey the same night. On:Monday, a painter named Neil MoDer- mid hired a rig from Mr Thos. Murdock, Hensall, stating that he intended going to see an uncle of his who lived near Bayfield. After a reasonable time had elapsed, Mr Murdock naturally became anxious and went in quest of his rig. On reaching Bay- field he found that the horse had been trad- ed to a man named Stinson for another, Stinson giving $12 to boot. The fellow then left with Stinson's horse and Mur - dock's rig and Stinson is now looking for him with fire in his eye. On Thursday afternoon, what might have been a fatal accident befel Mesare. Wm. and Thos. Moore, of Wingham. They were putting a tar and gravel roof on Messrs. Button's & Feseant's chair factory, and something got wrong wit.4-the ndlass with which they were elevating the materi- al, and Mr Thos. Moore, in trying to fix it, lost his foothold and was falling to the ground beneath, when Mr Wm. Moore grabbed him by the suspenders to save him, but these broke and Mr Wm. Moore fell to the ground beneath, a distance of about thirty feet, striking on his head and shoul- ders. Mr Thos. Moore, whose fall was checked by bis brother's intervention, had presence of mind enough to catch the wall of the building and thne save himself, and he was but slightly injured. Mr Wm. Moore was pretty severely injured about the neck and shoulders, but no bones were broken. He was taken to his home and medical aid summoned. The Goderich Star says: — "Yesterday four of the oldest and best known settlers of Huron County met in town and had their photos taken in a group. These were Sheriff Gibbons, of town, Wm. Young, sr., Chas. Girvin and John Morrie, all of Col. borne township. Their united ages reach 328 years, an average of 82, and all are still vigorous and hearty, worthy represen- tatives of the good stock that turned this county from a wilderness of forest into the rich agricultural garden which it is to -day. Comparing notes as to their respective achievements it was found that three are ex -wardens of the county, three were ser- geants in the rebellion of 1837, and two— Messrs. Gibbons and Girvin—were District Councillors in the old days of the united Counties of Huron, Perth and Brnce. It was agreed they should be accorded the fol- lowing championships; The Sheriff, the champion chopper of the county; Girvin, chairman of church socials; Yonng,-well—, what was it?—oh, yea, temperance, and all- round good fellow; and Morrie --oh, John! —the ladies' favorite!
