The writ for West Huron has been issued, the ncmination being fixed for the 7th of January, and the election a week later. Although this constituen- cy was the first vacated of all the by - constituencies, itis the last one to be filled, and it looks even now as if the government had determined to dis- franchise the constituency for the com- ing session. The House has been call- ed together for the 2nd of January, and the election is to he 12 days after that. The House may he in session that long, and it.may not; if it. is not the election will be useless, for dissolu- tion must follow the coming session. Speaking on this point the Montreal Witness says:— "Why should West Huron be de- prived of representation for a week or even a day or an hour of the session? Is all sense of justice or fair play en- tirely" ,,extinguished in the government? Constituencies, even if they are Liber- al, have a right to representation. The government in thus preventing them from electing a member is not only un- just hut is antagonizing the spirit, if not the letter, of the constitution. Such a partisan coarse cannot but snatne all right-thinking Conservatives and cannot but weaken the govern- ment in its fight in other by-elections. Surely the love of British fair play is not entirely dead in the admmistra- tinn 1" The Conservative Convention has nominated Mr D. Weismiller. Origin- ally a Liberal, he wentover to the Equal Rights movement in 1890, and afterwards posed an 011 Independent; Accomplishing nothing by this move 'he identified himself with the Conser- vative party, and we presume is wil- ling to accept entire its policy, but bow he can harmonize his position of 1890 with that of 1895 is for him to ex- plain. At. a meeting of the West Huron Liberal Executive, on Wednesday, Mr Cameron heartily accepted the nomin- ation tendered him at Dungannon, and is, therefore, the Liberal candidate in the coming contest. In so doing Mr Cameron makes considerable per- sonal sacriflce, for his medical advisers - have peremptorily ordered him to ab- stain from: anything of an exciting nature, owing to an affection of the heart, which might be serious at any time, hut Mr Cameron is desirous that West Huron should once more be en- rolled under the Liberal banner, and with the united support of West Hu- ron Liberals we expect Ito see this ac- complished. Hon. W. Clark Wallace, Controller of Customs, bas resigned because he cannot approve of the course which the GJvernment has adopted in its at- titude towards the Manitoba school question. Mr Wallace is Grand Master of the Orange Grand Lodge of North America An amusing incident of the North Ontar- io nominaticn was a tiff between J. Lockie Wilson (Patron), of Glengarry, and Mr Mc- Gillivray, the Conservative candidate. Mr Wilson said that recently he ate canned mutton brought into Canada by a subsidiz- ed ship. Mr McGillivray said that was a lie, and .J. Lookte offered to have a can brought on by express, and Mr McGillivray oifered the money for ths purpose. Mr Wileota'e aneertion that he had eaten that devoted mnt;on was made in such an ear- nret way to be very funny ,and the audience enjoyed thefun. MrNlcOi livray wound up hie speech by declaring that he bad taken prizes at fairs for eheep•shearin;; he would not admit the caused mtattnn std*v, how- ever. [Mr Wilauu Luwever, pruuu,ed sev- eral cans of mutton, and exhibited them at every meeting.] « • . Alidlii01101, .Tglt 1400zArkgEhm-Thef'',. ex n4ivation.

POLIQE MAGISTRATE. --•• We notice that in several small municipalities the Ontario Government is appoint- ing Police Magistrates—to be paid by the usual magisterial fees—whose duty it is to attend to all cases that may come before them. The idea is a good one, and we think should become general. A mayor, reeve or deputy - reeve of any municipality is a magis- trate by virtue of his office, and the most unpleasant duties they have to perform are magisterial. No matter now fairly a person may endeavor to perform the duties of that office, dis- satisfaction to one or more persons is sure to be the result. A Police Magis- trate is to a certain extent removed from this unpleasantness. We would suggest Mr John McGarva as an ex- ceedingly competent person for Police Magistrate of Clinton, and would be glad to recommend his appointment to the Ontario Government. BREEDER'S ASSOCIATION.—The ninth annual meeting of Dominion Draught Horse Breeder's societyy,was held at the Rattenbury House, Clinton, on Wed- nesday, the attendance showing a con- tinued interest in the society, notwith- standing the dulluess in the horse trade 'The reports of the officers show but little business done during the past year, but the finances continue in good shape, the balance in the bank being some $1400. The time for receiving en- tries will close Feb. 1st, 1806, when vol- ume C will be printed and distributed amongst the members. All entries re- ceived after that date must have four crosses, and it is expected that the So- ciety's record will be placed under go- vernment supervision the same as the other stock books. For this purpose a deputation consisting of President McMillan and Mr C. E.Mason will wait on Minister Dryden on the 19th inst. — All the oid officers were re-elected. The next meeting of the ccuncil will be held during the first week in February. CATTLE FROM HIIRON.—The Chat- ham Banner says:—The Grand Trunk is doing a good work for the farmers of Huron and neighboring counties in bringing cattle here and contracting to return them in the spring at greatly reduced rates. Last week a train of fifteen cars, containing 400 head was brought down from Exeter, and other shipments will follow during the next two weeks. The Grand Trunk carries cattle each way at $1 per head, and farmers in the neighborhood are win- tering them on corn fodder and straw at the rate of $1 per month. The heavy crop of coin in Kent this year has supplied an immense amount of fodder, sufficient for many hundred of outside cattle besides the home stock, and the feeding will be so touch clear gain to the home farmer. The entire cost of sending cattle here, wintering them, and returning them in the spring, will be but $6 per head, whid;h is a great deal better for the owners than importing- feed, or selling just now for what they would bring.

An interesting item of news is always welcomed by THE NEW ERA, we have no use for personalities or insinuations. Old fashioned winter with Its merry sleigh bells and good sleighing is here. The slang phrase, "get a skate on!" has more significance now than it had in August. Teaming has heeh lively this week. The sleighing has brought in a great deal of produce. Shovelling snow may not he very popular at pre- sent., but it is very generally engaged in. It always pays to read NEW ERA a advertisetnents. Put use the ppresent.

The louse '9 `Rel g4 Thursday lust WAS something of a red-letter day, so far as the town a# ()Upton and thefiousp of Refuge was concerned, for it.was the day fixed up, On for theformat opening of .the Rouse, Its inspection by the members of the i County Council, the evening enter- tainment and banquet to the County Cduoeillors. It is not a. little tO the credit of the local committee that the whole thing passed off most success- fully; from beginning to end. There wasn't a bitch in the arrangements, and the councillors expressed them- selves as more than delighted. In ad- dition to the generous work performed by Mr T. Jackson, jr., Messrs Ken- nedy and Cantelon were unceasing in their efforts to look after the smooth - running of all arrangements. At 3 o'clock conveyances started from the town hall, taking the mem- hers of the county council, town coun- cil, clergymen and other invited guests down to the House of Refuge. Here everybody started on a tour of inves- tigation on their own behalf. They spent about an hour in the various parte of the Souse, the councillors and others meantimegexpressing their plea- sure at the neatness of the appoint- ments and the apparent comfort of all the inmates. Some of the councillors when they first noticed the cosily fur- nished private apartments of Mr French, where disposed to think the special cotnmittee had been extrava- gant in furnishing the place, and the handsome Newcomb piano. was rather a stunner to them, but when informed that the council had ncthing to do with these articles, their feelings were greatly relieved. This piano, it may be remarked, was recently purchased from the western representative, Mr Jones, of Woodstoikk, and is a ragni- flcent upright; 71 octave, dark wal- nut, with the' late -et improved re- petition -action and all the modern features; it was brought into use dur- ing the exercises by Mise Washington and the Misses McNaughton, each of whom proficiently brought out its ex- cellent musical qualities. It might al- so be said that the Newcombe pianos were awarded silver medal, New Or- leans, U.S.A., 1884-5; medal and diplo- ma, London, Eng., 1886; highest award. (medal and diploma) Chicago, 1:43 After an hour's investigation of the House, the orowd gathered in the wo- men's dining room, where the chair was taken by Warden McPherson, who briefly spoke of the House, and formerly declared it open. Speeches were then delivered by Revs. Messrs Harris, Stout, Holmes, Stewart and Ford, and Messrs T. Gibson, M,P.P., Dr. Chamberlain, Inspector of Prisons, H. Eilber and W.H. Kerr. Several of the addresses were really excellent, and in the main complimented the county upon having reached that stage when consideration for the poor and helpless was the chief and important feature associated with the erection of so fine a building. Dr. Chamberlain was particularly happy in his address. and stated that out of all.t•he similar institutions in the Province there was none that so fully satisfied him as the one he had the pleasure of being in to- day; he complimented the council, the contractor, tie committee and all who. had been associated with'sthe erection of the building, and then gave a num- ber of interesting facts regarding the several charitable institutions under direction of the Ontario government. During the speeches music was provid- ed by Miss Maggie Washington, who presided at the Doherty organ. The concert given in the town ball in the evening was a grand success. The following report of it is from this week's Brussels Post, whose editor was one of the speakers:— Before 8 o'clock the large Town Hall was packed to the doors; the aisles were crowd- ed with ohaire, and about 60 persons mem- pied seats on thetplatform. Mayor Holmes presided with his accustomed grace and capable performance of the duties devolving upon the occupant of the chair. The pro- gram was first class in every particular, the musical and literary bill of fare com- paring favorably with the best going, and ander the able management of T. Jackson, jr., as conductor, the various numbers were rendered without the semblance of a hitch or stumble. First came the opening chorus "The Maple Leaf", by 50 voices, the child. ren eiuging the verses. It went with a ring. The Chairman's address was brief, pleasant and pithy, and made the visiting Co. Councillors and officials feel perfectly at home. The first song "The Old Bri- gade" was splendidly rendered by the full chorus, and was followed by a solo "Whose little girl are you?",by LoloMiller, a young girl who sang with the grape and 'ability of a professional soloist. A hearty encore was deservedly given and cheerfully re- sponded to. Miss Anna Taylor, (formerly teacher in Brussels) had a class of 8little tote, who, garmented in night dresses and night caps, gave the "Good Night Doll Drill", in a manner that was most heartily appreciated by the audience. Dr.Chamber- lain was palled upon, and gave numerous interesting facts concerning his work as In- speotor of public charitable institntione. "A baby of your own", in which dolls were made to do duty for 'meat" babies, was nicely sung by 10 young girls, and then name the hit of the evening. It was called a "Cake Walk", in which five oonples, Ethi- opian in color, and clad in the most fantas- tic, comical, and variegated costumes, took part. The songs interepereed between the pedestrian tours round the platform, were sung with a gusto and gesture by the "Snowball" family, that convulsed the house again and again. The baby couple should have the cake. "Yonstole my Love" showed the excellent training of the ehorus, and will stand repeating. Mr Foster, a first olase:basso, sang "The Snip I Love," and responded to th'e encore with another song which was equally as !rood as the first. M. Y. McLean, M. P. P. fvr South Huron, gave a terse, timely add,ess and was fol- lowed by a pleasing iInyn1ovation to most programs, viz., a la•Sies' quartette, who gave with excellent effort "TI e Merry Huntsman." Mrs J.! C. Greig, of Seaforth, nee Miss Acheson. -delighted the audience with a reoitaticyfi, "Second Trial." It is not too much do say that Mrs Greig com- pares very f• vorably with tbe queens of elocution -• AAgnee Knox Black and Jessie Alexander The selet tion evoked a loud recallya�,nd the fait lady acquiesced. Thos. Gibson, M.P.P. for East Huron, wae call- ed/upon and althou h taken by surprised, 1 fe acqnitted himself well. "The IIero's /Return" was a good solo so well sung by Mr Spalding that his socond appearance was demanded. After a few remarks from the Reeve of Brnsei-ls, in which he moved a vote of thanks to all taking part in tbe evening's exorcises, Mr Down's com- ic song and encore in a most amusing style were given and the program 'brought to a close by the "National Anthem."

Very sincerely yours, B. L. Dorms+. At 11 o'clock the same evening con- siderablyover 100 persons eatdown toa complimentary banquet, given the County Council, at the Hotel Claren- don. Mayor Holmes occupied the chair and Deputy -Reeve Kennedy the vice -chair. A most excellent supper was spread, at the close of which a short toast list was observed. After the usual loyal toasts, "The local par- liament" was responded to by Dr. Chamberlain, and a song by T. Gibson, M.P.P.; "The County Council" by Reeves Eilber, Kerr and Kay; ''The professional interests" by Dr. Holmes and P. Holt, Goderich, and Dr. Free- born; "Agricultural interests" by De- puty -reeve Hyslop and Reeve Monnet'; "Manufacturing interest," Mr Hutch- inson, Goderich; "The ladies," G. Mc - Ewan, Elensall, and Dr. Elliott, De- troit; "The press," Messrs Todd and Holmes. The Uonnty Councillors were loud in their compliments to Clinton, on account of the hearty man- ner in which they were entertained, and expressed the hope that someday in the near future the council might again be held here. It may be stated that on the former visit of the County Council to Clinton, Mr Thos. Green- way, now Manitoba's premier, was a member of the council, which was at that time entertained to a banquet by the Olintonians. The Expositor this week, in its report of ithe proceedings, says:— ''The musical part of the entertainment was under the direction of Mr Thomas Jackson, and he is to be congratulated upon the success which attended his efforts, while those under him, and who took part in the several choruses, glees, solos, etc., ars to be elually commended for the high order of talent displayed. It was really an excellent entertainment, and seemed to be thorough- ly enjoyed by all, and particularly by the county oounoillors, in whose honor and mainly for whose entertainment it was got- ten up. At the conolueion of the concert the councillors and other invited guests re- paired to the Hotel Clarendon, where, on be- half of the town, they were entertained at a complimentary banquet by the Clinton council. The members of Huron Parlia- ment were load in their praises of the hoe. pitable manner in which they were reoeived by Clinton's representatives, and indeed we incline to the opinion that for such emin- ently staid and sober gentlemen, they had jest about as much attention and dissipa- tion ae they could stand for one day. God- erioh will have to look out for its interests or the Clintoniane will be seducing the county council permanently from the county town. They would do it if they could." Donnybrook CHURCH,—Rev. Mr Becker preached with much acceptance at Westfield last Sabbath. An E we rth League was formed last Tuesday at Donny- brook, with Mr Johnson as president; Miss Patterson, vice pres., and Miss Robinson sec treas., with 20 members, how 0 Mail any Xmas Presents? Varna. CONCERT.—On Tuesday evening last a concert under the auspices of Varna Coun- cil R. T. of T., was held in the Temperance Hall. Mr R. Pearce, the celebrated ven- triloquist, with his two dolls Jo and Jerry, was well received, and there was- loads of fun for the young folks. An excellent pro- gramms was also rendered, consisting of readings, recitations, and instrumental music; all those who were present spent a very enjoyable evening. BIIILE Soonirv.—The annual meeting of the Varna Bible Society was held in the Methodist church on Wednesday evening. Rev. Mr Faller', of Point Edward, agent of the aooiets, was present; Rev. J. A.lMcDon- ald, president of the society, was in the chair. The following members were ap- pointed for the ensuing year:—Pres., Rev. J. A. McDonald; Vice Pres., Rev. Mr Rob- son; Seo., Jas. Armstrong; Treas., Wm. Purdy; Board of Directors, John MoAsh, W. Logan, J. McClymont; the collectors wore tbsn appointed and elr Fellae, was called upon to give an address, when he gave a very able and interesting account of the working of the British and Foreign Bible Society. West Huron Conservatives. (Press Despatch.) The West Huron Conservative con- vention held at Smith's Hill on Tues- day was one of the largest in attend- ance and most enthusiastic ever held in the county. One hundred and sev- en delegates were present, besides a large number of ardent Conservatives, representing every part of the riding. After President Beck had explained the business of the convention, nomi- nations were called for, and the follow- ing gentlemen were named as possible candidates:—Joseph Beck, Saltford; Dr. Holmes, Mayor Butler, Robert Mc- Lean, and Ernest Heaton, Goderich; J. M. Roberts and Dr, T. E. Case, Dun- gannon; D. Weismillar, Hensall, and Dr. Freeborn, Clinton. Short speeches were made by each of those gentlemen, those of Dr. Holmes, Mr Heaton and Mr Weismiller, being capital in their matter and spirit. All declined but Messrs. Butler, Beck and Weismillar. A vote was then taken! resulting in the latter receiving a majority on the first ballot. Mr Weismillar briefly thanked the convention and promised to wage the contest with all the energy and strength possible. Dr Roome, M P. for West Middlesex, was present, and after explaining the absence of Hon. Dr. Montague, who was expected to be present, he briefly reviewed the political questions, and gave some advice on the work of organization.
