The Soo Canal.
The Mail says:—"According to the
Brantford Expositor the Sault canal
was not needed, and will not be used
to any great extent for navigation
purposes. 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.

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

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.

ed payment of the following accounts:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

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.

country, and he has recently been impress-

de irability of life insurance. He Bays:—
'Life insurance is the beet savings bank

and am carrying only $2,000 on my life,
and it costs me $75 a year ;and it is a hard

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

$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

paid-up policy and draws dividends on it
just like it was stock in a bank. I wish 1

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.
