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. 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. 'G.T. rt. 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 noc 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. Th ey 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 DorlSin- 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 in made, and the Manitobans will have to grin and hear it. Governor Patter son is 50 years old. He was horn at Armagh, Ireland, and educated at Duplin. Him 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 1862 he he - came a member 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 10, 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 he 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. The Soo Ountal. The Mail says:—"Accordingto the Brantford Expositor the Saut canal was not needed, and will not be used to any great extent for na iggation purposes. This is not the Winton of traders." We don't know where the Mail gets the opinion of traders, for their opin- ion is prey,isely as stated by the Ex- positor. Vessel -men ridicule the Can- dian eiittgl, and speak of it in terms of derisionf-; 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. . 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 825 to- wards the improver( ent of the Colborne road, 011 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 L yke's pit. Deputy - reeve Cantelon would have preferred to get the gravel from our own pit, but this was shown to be impracticable. 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; II, Josling, teaming, $1.55; A. M. Todd, printing, $4.50; Judge Doyle, expenses Court of Revision, $5,75; J. Miller, street water- ing, 850; J. Wheatley, work bill, charity, etc., $85,21; J. Ferguscn, charity, $4; J. C. Stevenson, burial Miss M. White, $10; Mrs Goodwin, nursing Mrs Thornton, $2; Harland Bros., $6.05; H. Dodd, lumber, $244.32; F. Evans, $6.75; Jas. Howe, $8.35; P. 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 reforence to the petition re opening of Isaac street, nothing more could be done until Mr McGarva's re- turn. The Fire and Water committee re- commended the extension of the hydrant system to some point near McMurray & Wiltse'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 $100 to the Public school board and $100 more for street watering, calling for a rate of 21 mills on the dollar. The 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 Reeve Kennedy to lower the, electric light on the corner of Rattenbury and Orange St. but the motion did not carry. e 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. Church Chimes. The young people of Rattenbury St. church purpose holding an "At Home" on the evening of Friday, Sept. 13th.

Special services will be held in the church on the previous Sunday morning 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 assistant to Dr. McDonald, Seaforth, filled the Pres- byterian pulpit here, giving two very practical and interesting sermons. After the evening service he delivered a short, but spicy, address to the C. E. 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 main of pleasing address and good physique. Rev. John McEwen, Normal Secre- tary. will conduct a Normal institu- tion in Clinton on Tuesday and Wed- nesday, Sept. 18 and 19. Meetings will begin at 3 and 8 p.m. A silver collec- tion will he taken each evening in aid of the necessary expense of the work. Every Sabbath School worker in this vicinity should take note of the date and decide to he present. The pro- araur will consist of discussions on the following topics:—Primary work, its scope and impol..tince; Normal work, its relation to S. S. effilciency; 2,000 years' Bible history at aglance; a bird's ,'eye view of the Bible; a bird's eye view of the ministry of Christ, illustrated 1 by colored charts; Jesus, the d,S.Iteachf- er's ideal; vitt steps Lr teaobing• , Mc McEwen is a first class man at this work.

The Rural Deanery Meeting for the County of Huron, was held in St.Paul's Sunday School Room, on Tuesday. The Rev. Canon Young met 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. +Iolmestead of Seafcrt•h and J. Ransford. For the last four years, conventions have been held regularly by the Huron County Christian Endeavor, which union embraces all societies who have adopted 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 evening, and the sessions all through were largely attended. Full report next week: • Additional Local News. 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 see'l will be got in under the most favorable conditions. BUSINESS MATTERS.—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 i5 possible when engaged in commercial pursuits. Mr Plurnsteel, we believe, will give his personal attention to the nlanagelnent of his two farms in Tuckersmith, while Mr Gibbings will take life easy. Somepersons have assumed that be- cause MWill .Jackson has taken an interest in the new fire] of Jackson & Jackson, it necessarily means his with- drawal from the old and popular firm 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 b identified with half -a -dozen differen concerns, without worry or confusi n, and he would infuse life and activity into them all. The S$aforth Sun says:—The removal of Mr a d Mrs Jackson from Seaforth will be_generally regretted, as both are very popular citizens. Mr Jackson during his residence hire having always evinced an active it l l Brest 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 cannot be sur- passed by dealers in any other place. ,,linton is the place for all who wish to do there trading to the best advantage. Importance of Beginning Early. "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 desirability of life insurance. He says:— "Life insurance is the best savings bank in the world for a young man. He gets it so cheap. Now, here I am, old and poor, and am oarrying 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 I But I must hold on until I whip the fight, I'll whip it sure if I bold on, for old Father Time is banking me. If I had 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. I wish I had done that when I was a young man. Wouldn't it be glorious if I had snob a document for my wife and the girls!" The Confederation Life Association issues polioiee at anoh low rates that a 85,000 policy costs only $80 a year, and the dividends thereon have made it a paid- up polioy for more than its fare value at the expiry of twenty years. After that period cash dividends are paid every five years, and the polio3 increases in cash value 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• oago, 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 be would go the same way, took his life. His father was mysteriously murdered a year ago, his body being found on a railroad track near his home. Crisp County Clippings Mr jft. G. Simpson, Brumfield, has recov- ered from his recent illness. Mr Fowler, of.East Wawanosh, father of Mrs Crooke, Belgrave, died euddenly on Wednesday morning last. Me Jos. Laird, Wingham, has purchased land near Bruoe Mines, and iuyends to go farming. Cold in the head—Nasal Balm gives instant relief; speedily cares. Never fails The Eureka bakery, Wingham, has pass- ed into the hands of Jacob King, its pro- prietor, who will in future condnot the busi- ness. Mr John Shepherd, Reeve of Tucker - smith; Mr John Latta and Mr Robert Var- ley have returned from their trip to the old country. Mr James Harrison, wbo was a resident of Morris for over thirty years, has taken up land in Muskoka and will remove his family there shortly. Mr John S. Brown, of McKillop, soweda field of fall wheaten Monday, the 26th Au- gust. This is the first fall wheat seeding we have heard of this season. Mrs R. Carmichael, Seaforth, who was re- cently so unfortunate as to have her arm broken in two plaoes by a fall, is progress- ing favorably, and the injury will not be permanent. . Last year Geo. M. Elliot, Goderich, gro- cer, shipped 2,500 baskets 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. Mr Peter McKay, deputy -reeve of Tack- eramith, who has purchased a tract of land in Algoma, is about to go to that district to build a new saw -mill. His brother Ilan intends going with him. Mr H. Horton, teacher of school section No. 10, Tnckersmith, 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 slaughter, Edie, of Mr John Maudson, Chiselhurst, had the mis• fortune to have one of her eyes plugged cut by her younger brother, while at play, with a pair of scissors. The little girl thus loses the sight of one of her eyes for life. A thorongbred berkshire 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. Ur 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 Sanitarium there, and with good prospects of renewing somewhat of his old vigor and activity. His many friends in this county much regret the continued illness of Barrister J. R. Miller, formerly I.P.S. 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- so 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 H6 °years. He was a native of Suther landshire, Scotland, and came to Canada about 54 years ago. He was a con. sistent member of the Presbyterian church, and a staunch Liberal in politics. Conductor Parker called in the 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 had not been sold at that place for Kincardine that day. On some pbrson in Kin:,ardine paying his fare, the young man was allowed to proceed on his journey the same night. OnjMonday, a painter named Neil MoDer- mid hired a rig from Mr Thos. Murdock, Hensall, stating that be 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 Hay- field ayfield he found that the horse had been trad- ed to a man named Stinson for another, Stinson giving $12 to boot. The fellow then lift with Stinson's horse and Mur - dock's rig and Stinsoh is now looking for him with fire in his eye. On Thursday afternoon, what might have been a fatal accident betel Messrs. Wm. and Thos. Moore, of Wingham. They were putting a tar and gravel roof on Messrs, Button's & Feesant's chair factory, and something got wrong with the windlass 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 oheoked by his brother's intervention, bad presence of mind enough to catch the wall of the building and thus 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 medioal aid summoned. The Goderich Star says: — "Yesterday tour of the oldest and best known settlers of Huron County met in town and bad theirhotos taken in a group. These were Sheriff Gibbons, of town, Wm. Young, sr., Chas. Girvin and John Morris, 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 stook that turned this county from a wilderness of forest into the rich agricultural garden which it is to -day. Comparing notes es to their respective achievements it was found that three are ex•wardens of the oonnty, three were ser- geants in the rebellion of 1887, and two— Messrs. Gibbons and Girvin—were District Councillors in the old days of the united Counties of Huron, Perth and Bruce. It was agreed they should be accorded the fol - towing championships: The Sheriff, the champion chopper of the county; Girvin, chairman of church socials; Young,—well—, what was it7—oh, yes, temperance, and all. round good fellow; and Morris—oh, John! —the ladies' favorite! May they each and all enjoy tor many years yet the traits of their industry and integrity. Mr Cline, a Winona farmer, sold his sea- son's fruit orop for 84,000 on the Found, Rev. D. J, Maodonnell, of Toronto, is seriously ill at the residence of his father- in-law at Fergus. Mr Richard Reeves, of Hamilton, died in the ambulance on his way to the ho- spital. Mr Alton F. Clerk, a Montreal stock- broker, who had met with heavy losses, shot himself dead. Robert Porter, a St. Marys man, has been in the Stratford jail for eleven yeare for the prime of being old, blind and friend - lose. Levi Wigle, ex -M. P., of Leamington, has gone in for water melons as a field crop. He has 20 sores of them and expects to realize 83,000 dollars from the produot. A terrible accident befell Joseph Robin- son, an employe of the Stewart Man. Co., Woodstock, the other afternoon, the re snit of which may be disfigurement for life. While casting the white hot fluid in his ladle exploded, splashing on his fade and body and burning him severely. The following from La Patrie shows the estimation in which Mr Laurier is held by those who iknow him Lest: -"During the entire time he has been chief he has never committed an error. He is poor, he has sacrifices ungrudgingly his personal fortune in the putlio 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 generousiy given his time, pis energy ar and hie ea to the service of the country, and he has for his recompense the sincere friendship of his supporters in Parliament, the enthusiastic adhersion of the Liberals everywhere, and the respect of his adversaries to a grerter extent than any party chief has ever enjoyed in Canada."
