FRIDAY, SEPT. 13, 1895.
The Trades and Labor Congress of
Toronto had very little to do when it
passed a resolution of sympathy with
Debs, the American agitator, and it
will not win the respect or good will
of Canadians who support any honest
attempt to help and improve the Labor
interest.
The papers that allude to West Hu-
ron as "really a Liberal constituency,"
don't know what they are saying. It
never was aLiberal constituency, not-
/ withstanding,the phenomenal majori-
ty of M. 0. Cameron, in 1::1, of 379.
It was originally formed with the in-
tention of being a safe Conservative
constituency, and.has always been re=
garded as Conservative. although held
at times by the Liberals.
It is semi -officially announced [ that
there will be no- election in West Hu-
ron until the house is dissolved. We
are not going to say this is due to cow-
ardice on the part of the government,
for we do not care an atom what mo-
tive influences the government in this
respect, but we think they are really
entitled to credit. If West Huron
happens to be unrepresented this ses-
sion, it will make very little difference,
so long as a . Liberal represepts it the
next.

ing no pains to make this one of the
best entertainments ever given in
Londesboro.
LOCAL UNION.—The Executive com-
mittee of the Local Union met Tues-
daa evening at Mr H. Foster's resi-
dence. The next Local Union meeting
will be held on Oct. 4th in the Baptist
church. The program is one of unusu-
al interest, the subjects being thor-
oughly practical and in line with the
times; they are assigned to two com-
petent societies—Londesboro and Rat-
tenbury St. E. L. of C. E. The sub-
jects are: -1st, "The social life of
Christ;" 2nd, "Saturday, and its rela-
tion to the observance of the Lord's
Day." A live discussion will follow
the treatment of each subject, in which
discussion all are at liberty to partici-
pate. Reserve the date Oct, 4th.
The celebrated Keir Hardie, one of
the Socialist leaders of England, got
sat upon in Chicago:the other day in a
manner that rather took his breath
away. In the course of an address he
denounced the execution of the An-
archists in that: city, and expressed
the hope that Socialist views would
form the religion of the coming cen-
tury. Some ministers who were pre-
sent jumped on hirn with both feet,
and properly so. and he left the room
in disgust.
HURON CENTRAL EXHIBITION —
Fortunately the great storm which
Prof. Wiggins said some years would
take place during this month, will be a
thin of the past when the great Hu-
ron Central Exhibition opens its doors
on Sept. 24th and 25th. The directors
have continued the policy adopted
some years ago, and present a purely
Agricultural Fair, free from all ob-
jectionable "attractions," and have
expended their surplus funds in adding
to the Prize List. The entries already
received are far in excess of any other
year at the same date, and the con-
tinual demand for prize lists and en-
try forms are c( rtain indications of a
successful fair. All that is now re-
quired to make the year 1895 a red
letter one in the history of the most
successful Agricultural Society in Hu-
ron is fine weather,

CONTRACT FINISHED.—JOB. Naegle,
h'as completted his contract with the
township for the erection of a new
stone abutment to one of our little
bridges in the village. It is a fine
piece of work, and does credit to the
contractor.
AERMOTOR.—Our village blacksmith,
Jas. Jewitt, is erecting a home-made
aermotor (he calls it a windmill) over
his smithy at the cross-roads. The
thing is a "whopper" and is intended
to run his lathes and do lots of other
work in his well-known establishment.
COLLISION.—On Thursday W. Good,
who was coming to the village in a
road cart, had his vehicle overturned
by the careless driving of the occupant
of a buggy, who was racing with an-
other buggy on the highway. The
cart was smashed to pieces, and Mr
Good was thrown out on theroad, nar-
rowly escaping being setiously injured,
but fortunately had but a few slight
scratches. It is high time that this
ast driving on the public roads should
bo put a stop to.
Presbytery of Huron.
The Presbytery of Huron met in
Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday,
the 10th inst., the Rev Dr. McDonald,
of Seaforth, presiding.
It was decided to ask for the same
grants as last year, in aid of all the
supplemented congregations. A min-
ute was adopted, expressing regret
that the Rev Mr McKay had resigned
the pastoral charge of Leeburn and
Union Churches, satisfaction with his
work during his pastorate, and hope
that he might soon find another suit-
able field of labor.
Arrangements for missionary meet-
ings were left to the sessions of the
vario s congregations. Ministers were
also enjoined to have at least one Sab-
bath missionary service in their charg-
es before the end of the year.
Mr H. A. McPherson, theological
student, at present assisting Dr. Mc-
Donald, in Seaforth, read a discourse,
which was cordially sustained by the
Presbytery. Mr A. H. McLeod, of
Brucefleld, asked to be recognized as a
student for the ministry, and after the
usual examination, his request was
granted.
The clerk stated that he had received
notice from Mrs Gavin Ross, of Hen-
sall, that she intended to appeal to the
Synod of Hamilton and London, from
the decision arrived at, in her case by
the Presbytery, at its last meeting.
A committee was appointed to confer
with Mrs Ross, who was present.
From their report, after conference, it
appeared that Mrs Ross complained,
not so much of the decision of Presby-
tery, as of certain statements of the
Moderator of Hensel] Session. The
appeal was, therefore, withdrawn, and
a new committee appointed to look
further into the case, and to bring
about a settlement, if possible, said
committee to report at the next regu-
lar meeting of Presbytery.
NEWS NOTES
ENDEAVOR CONVENTION
THE ANNUAL COUNTY MEETING AT
BLYTH.
During last week the vil-
lage of Blyth was thronged
with Christian Endeavorers
and Epworth Leaguers who
came to attend the fourth
annual convention of the
Huron County Christian Endeavor
Union. In every way did it excel the
previous Conventions held in Wing -
ham, Hensall and Clinton, and every
delegate rejoiced at the increased in-
terest and usefulness of the great
Christian Endeavor movement.
The opening session was 'held on
Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian
church, there being about 600 people
present. As one glanced around the
church the work of the Local Societies
was very noticable for having the de-
corations arranged so nicely, in fact,
the entire church basement trod rill
was very suitably decorated with
flowers, greens, mottoes, bunting, etc.,
and presented a very fine appearance.
A mammoth arch had been built at
the entrance to the church and in it
hung a banner "C. E. Welcome," so
that one felt at home the moment they
entered.
The Reception Committee met all
trains and conveyed the delegates to
the Convention church by means of
a large cab decorated with evergreens
and .bearing,,two large signs, ' To the
Convention.'
The president, Rev. J. Edge, of God-
erich, occupied the chair during the
opening session and after devotional
exercises and, a few opening remarks
he called upon Dr. Ferguson, of Blyth,
President of the '95 Local Committee,
to give the address of welcome, and
right royally did the doctor, on behalf
of the Local Societies and the Chris-
tian people of Blyth, welcome the
delegates, and assured them that their
invitation was meant when they ex-
tended it and that they meant it now.
Rev. Jas. A. Anderson, of Goderich,
then gave an address, "The kind of
people I want in my church." The ad-
dress was practical and full of choice
thoughts. He said that it was the
useful rather than the ornamental
Christian that the church needs to-
day—men and women who stand by delegates adjourned to the Methodist Tuesday morning of last week, aged 40

Wednesday, looking after a horse and rig
which were etolen.on Monday night. The
horse was taken from Mr McMurray, and

As yet he has received no trace of the prop-
erty, but is of the opinion that it was taken

Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson presented the
G. T. R. Institute of Stratford, with £211
on his recent visit.
John Craig, formerly a prominent con-
tractor, of Hamilton, tried to hang himself
in the police cells of that city.
The trade returns for the year ending
July 30th last show imports of $105,557,000
and exports of 8106,440,000. The desrease
compared with tbe preceding year ie over
88,000,000 in exports and $7,000,000 in im-
pede.
A piece of sixteen -inch timber was found
wedged across the Toronto Water Works
conduit in one of the manholes, and eight.
een inches of sand were discovered in the
bottom. This is believed to account for
the accident to the conduit.
So far as known, the only Masonic burl•
al rites that were ever spoken over the body
of a woman were delivered at Novi, Mich.,
when the body of Mrs Mary Bush was
committed to the earth. Her ancestors
bad all been Masons, her husband a Knight
Templar her sons Freemasons and she had
always been a strong partisan of the Mas
onic Order.
Later particulars from Seal Island indi.
cate that the North American Commercial
Company have taken about 15,000 skins,
the maximum limit imposed, during the
-season closed August 15. News received
early in the season led to the belief that
there was an unusual scarcity of Beale in
the islands, and the Commercial Company
would not be able to take more than a
fraction of the quota, but subsequent re-
ports show no material decrease in the
number herding on the islands since last
year.
jest of the next address given by Mr.
John Kerr of Winghaw. U•reat credit
is due Mr. Kerr for having prepared
his subject on short notice and also for
keeping Ms promise to the Executive
by corning to the Convention,although
in very poor health. His remarks were
very practical and it was a faithful
interpretation of the Divine command,
"six days shalt thou work and rest the
Seventh."
Rev. Mr. Priest, President of the
Baptist Young People's Union of
Ontario and Quebec, was introduced to
the Convention and extended their
kindest greetings. Mr. Priest is to
leave in a few months to enter India
as a missionary.
Rev. R. N. Burns, B. A. of Toronto,
was now introduced. He gave an
address on "Bible Study" which we
would like very much to have printed
in full but space will not permit of it.
We hope the suggestions of Mr. Burns
will be acted upon by every delegate.
The report of the Boston Convention
was given by Miss M. S. Washington,
of Clinton. To listen to her one would
almost imagine themselves at the Con-
vention listening to such orators as
Wooley, Moody, Clark, and j eeint;
the sights of Boston. We hope to see
the report in print before many weeks.
"Systematic Visitation" as an aid to
the pastor was the next address, given
by H. A. McPherson, of Seaforth.
Visitation when properly done and
done systematically by Endeavorers
would be a great help to the pastor and
it is something every society ought to
develop among its members.
The report of the Nominating Com-
mittee was accepted and the following
are the officers for the coming year :—
President, Dr. Ferguson, Blyth ; 1st
Vice President, Rev. Mr. Becker,
Auburn; 2nd Vice President, Miss C.

ham.
The "Question Drawer," under the
charge of Mr. N. Elford, Holmesville,
brought out a number of practical
points and Mr. Elford is to be con-
gratulated on his having answered
them so satisfactorily. This brought
the afternoon session to a close and the
Crisp County Clippings
Mr Walter )Petty intends removing from
Hensall to Yorkshire, England.
John $awkehaw, Exeter, last week
threshed tbirteeh sores of 'oats and it is
said the yield was 77 bushels to the more.

Friday. Mr Thompson was employed by
the Government some time ago, in making

roads and bridges in Algoma- He reside
in Brnseele for some time and from there
moved to Toronto.
Mr Wm. Hogarth, of Egmondville, seems
to be the champion sunflower grower of
those parts. He has a fine prop growing in
his garden. He has one stalk with 109
flower's on it; he has also a flower that
measures fifty inches in circumference,
and a stalk which measures 12 feet in
length.
Mr John Carroll, who for the past two
years has kept the Union Hotel, Saltford,
has been removed by death. Deceased was
born in this neighborhood, being a son of
the late Patrick Carroll, one of our best
known farmers. He has/been in failing
health for some years, being compelled to
give up farming on that account.
J. Webster, of Fordyce, W. •Wawanoeh,
who took a number of cattle to the Old
Country market at London and other pointe
and was accompanied on the voyage by T.G.
Allen, principal of Fordyce public school,
returned home last week. He reports hav-
ing had a pleasant trip and realized a prof-
itable sum for the cattle.
A meeting of the shareholders of the
Union Furniture Company, Wingham,
was held on Wednesday, when Mr Thos.
Bell made an offer to sell hie factory to the
Company, if they would build an addition
to the factory and employ 100 hands. The
meeting seemed favorably disposed towards
the offer, and an adjournment was made
till tbe 16th instant to consider the same.
Mrs John Stafford, of McKillop, near
here, passed away to her long home early
literary age there was no excuse for
ignorance, because good books could
be got cheap and every chance was
given to young people to study if they
wanted to. That literary study was
necessary to thorough Bible study,
especially a knowledge of the Greek
and Hebrew, languages, and yet no
literary course could open to anyone
God's true meaning without the direc-
tion of the Holy Spirit. tonal singing.

Saunders, of Wroxeter, The second,
"The Endeavor Society and the Young

The third, "The Endeavor Society and
the Young Woman," by Mrs. M. L.
Ashley, of Londesboro. They were
three excellent papers and will be
printed in full and notice sent to the
different societies.
"Why a Junior Society," by Miss L.
Holmes, of Clinton, and "Juniors and
their Bibles"' by Miss Lamie, Hensall,
were two splendid papers on junior
work and we trust that many Junior
Societies will be formed during the
corning year. These will also be pub-
mittee for their excellent work in pre-
paration during the progress of our
sessions.—To the families who have so
hospitably received us into there
homes.—To the Railways for reduced
fares.—To the Secretary, Mr. Cooper,
for his efficient service.—To the Rev.
Mr. Cohhledick for his valuable ser-
vices as chairman.—To the retiring
president for his faithful work.—To
the Rev. R. N. Burns, B. A., for his
kindness in attending this Convention

Then carne the address "What

Endeavor Society," Rev. J.
Holmes, Clinton. Mr. Holmes has had
much to do with young people's move-
ments since its organization and his re-
marks on this subject were pointed
and practical. Ile thought the young
people ought to pray for their pastor
and be ready at a moments notice for
active service and fill up the ranks in
Christian warfare. The attendance at
all church services was also expected
of every Endenvorer.
The. Secretary's report showed an
increase of 7 societies and 132 rueuc-
hers,• making the total membership
3,278 for 07 societies; of these 0 are
Junior Societies with a membership of
191;
The societies numbering 100 and
over are : Presbyterian — Lochalsh,

Local Unions. have been formed in
Goderich, Seaforth, Clinton and with
Wingham, which was organized be-
fore, there are now four Local Unions
in the county ; it is expected, however,
that Blyth, Exeter, Hensall, Brussels,
Wroxeter and Gorrie will organize
during the coming year.
After the opening exercises of Wed-
nesday afternoon the first address was
by Miss Wilson of Clinton on the
Endeavorers relation to mission work.
The aim should he to impart the great-
est information along missionary lines
and to adopt some systematic way of
giving. She reviewed the field of
mission work, condensing an immense
amount of information into a half hour
scholarly address.
The President's address was the next
in order hot unfortunately the presi-
dent could not he present for which the
delegates were very sorry, his address
therefore was not given.
The Past President, occupied the
chair during the President's absence; all
were pleased to see him in that position
and everything was satisfactorily
carried out in his (Rev. G. H. Cobble -
dick) charge.
"Sabbath O servence" was the sub -
and Sahhath School," by Rev. G. H.
Cobbledick, of Brussels. Although the
church was packed to its utmost
capacity Mr. Cobbledick got a pati-
ent hearing and he gave one of
the hest addresses of the Convention.
He said the problem of keeping the
children in the S.S. was a very import-
ant one, each parent and teacher were
personally responsible and we should
use every effort to keep the children
in the Sahhath School and Endeavor
Societies. One organization was not
enough, we need both, and if these
were properly conducted better results
are sure to follow. He also suggested
the combining of the two organizations
known as the ('onnty Sabbath Organ-
izat inn and the County C. E. Union.
Rev, 1t•. N. Barns, B. A., then gave
the last address of the Convention,
entitled "Thy Kingdom ('once." Ile
made a strong plea for more thorough
missionary work, and urged all to
learn more about the work needed,
also what is being done and adopt a
system of systematic giving to this
great cause. We ought to have more
of the Napoleon spirit and accept the
command as a personal commission
and if we cannot go ourselves we ought
to send some one else. Do all we can
as well as we can and thus he prepared
for the coming of Christ's kingdom.
The closing Consecration service was
led by Rev, Mr. Becker, of Auburn,
and was very impressive, every dele-
gate going out resolved to do all they
could to "look' up and lift up" for
Christ and His Church.
NOTES.
Mr. Becker made an excellent leader
of song.
The Billetting Committee did their
work well.
There were 175 delegates present.
The next Convention will be held in
Goderich.
Rev. G.H. Cohhledick made an excel-
lent chairman.
Everybody regretted the absence of
Rev. Jos. Edge, the president.
The Blyth people know what hospi-
tality means.
TnE YACHT RACE.—The yacht races
which are taking place at New York
for the American Cup this week, be-
, ween the Ameriran boat, Defender,
and the British heat, Valkyrie I1I.
The Defender won the first rare, which
was run on Saturday, by 8 minutes
and 49 seconds; the second race, which
took place on Tuesday, was captured
by the Valkyrie by two minutes and
18 seconds. On a protest, entered by
Defender, the racingcommittee has
given its decision in avor of the latter.
Lon Reid, son of Adam Reid, Brussels,
met with what might have been a fatal ac•
eident the other day. He was in Grey, at
Duncan Taylor's, and was driving the team
drawing out manure and fell off the wagon,
behind the horses. They started and the
wagon passed over his body. One wheel
nearly went over his head. No bones were
broken but he was badly bruised. So far
no serious results are anticipated.
Mr John Scott, of Seaforth, has tele-
graphed the chief of police that his small
son, Arthur, has run away trom home, and
left for Toronto on the train arriving in the
city at midnight on Saturday. The bey
had no shoes or stockings on, and wore a
white hat. He has no friends in Toronto.
So far the police have not been able to ob.
tain any news of him.
Mr W. F. Tate, who recently purchased
the photograph business from Mr A. Bans -
laugh, Seaforth, has decided to give up bus-
iness, and will shortly leave town. Mr
Tate's eye sight has been very poor. It is
his intention to go to Australia, where his
friends live, while Mrs Tate and family
will return to North Bay. We are sorry to
lose Mr Tate and family as they have prov-
ed during their short stay, to be a most
worthy acquisition to our town.
On Sabbath last the remains of the late
Mrs Martha Campbell(relict of the late W.
Campbell)of West Wawanosh,were interred
in Dungannon cemetery and were escorted
thither from her late residence by a large
company Of sorrowing relatives, friends and
acquaintances. The obsequies were im•
pressively oonduoted by Rev R. Fairbairn.
The age of the deceased was 86 years. She
was taken away very suddenly, her decease
was caused by falling down stairs during
Tuesday night previous, from the effects
of which she succumbed. The bereaved
son has the sympathy of the community.
Since the recent speed performances on
the English West Coast and East Coast
railway, between London and Aberdeen,
which showed the remarkable feat of cover-
ing 540 miles in 538 minutes, the officials
of the New York Central have been study-
ing the figures and it is reported that a
movement is on foot to show that American
locomotives can make better time than the
English flyers.
