After the longest continuous parlia- mentary sitting in Canada, the Gov- ernment reached a division on the sec- ond reading of the Remedial Bill, on Friday morning last, being sustained by a substantial majority. The Gov- ernment declares its intention of forc- ing the bill to its third and final read- ing, and there is every probability that it may do o, unless the members talk it out be re the 21th of April, when parliainen expires. A delegation has gone to Winnipeg to interview Mr Greenway; in the meantime the discus - on goes on. The Life of Parliament. l.w Sooner than run any risk of its leg- islation being declared illegal, the Cabinet has decided to accept April 24, as the last day of Parliament's life.— This is in accord with the constitution, which declares that "the life of Parlia- ment shall be five years from the re- turn of the writs." As Parliament be- • g'an on the 29th. of April, 1891, it was therefore legally constituted at that time, and could only live for five years thereafter. An Pmergeney might arise whereby dissolution could take place earlier than this. The Mail auncsunces that no other legislation will be taken up :.until Remedial Bill is disposed of, but both Liberals and Conservatives are evidently determined to oppose it, and it is possible that the House may be in continuous session till it dies. Decidedly Wrong. Every now and again a paragrap'e appears in the :papers like the follow- ing: v 1 "$ shortage of several hundred dol- lars has been discovered in the books of Mr Blank; much sympathy is felt for him, as he is very popular." 'This is just where society doeswrong. It's very easy to be popular when you can do so on the strength of other people's money. and often the man who is not popular, is the one who is grinding hard and toiling long every day in order to meet his honest obliga- tions. And society should show the condernnation of one and the approval of the other. There's altogether too much "sympathy" shown delinquents; a little more sterling justice would do good, • • Perhaps He May. It is reported in the press that Mr Mowat will enter Federal politics at the coming general elections, and when asked about it he declined either to deny or affirm it. There may he no truth whatever in the repot t, but com- menting upon it the Montreal Witness says: — "In the interests of the government of the Dominion it is hoped that this announcement will be realized. Sir Oliver Mowat has won the confidence of the whole country as an administra- tor of public affairs. If he could help to establish at Ottawa such an admin- istration as he has given to Ontario for twenty-three years, the people of the Dominion would have cause for re- joicing. If he asks for an opportunity to try what he can in conjunction with Mr Laurier and SirRichard Cartwright, the whole country will be inclined to accede to his request. His candidature in Ontario would strengthen the Liber- als not in Ontario only, but certainly in Quebec and in Manitoba., and probably in the rest of the provinces also." Reduced County Councils. The act for the reduction of county councillors, which passed the Ontarrd Legislature on Tuesday, effects a revo- lution in the management of county affairs. Taking Huron as an example, we will have the number of councillors reduced from 51 tee 18. The new coun- ty council will not be composed of members of the township councils, but will be elected by popular vote. Hu- ron will be divided into nine districts, two councillors will be elected from each district, and each voter will have two votes. The change will effect a very considerable saving. The Dominion Parliament has just twenty parliamentary days more in which to live. Prominent Conservatives state that Mr Maegon, M.P., for North Grey, will get the, Senior Judgeship in Huron. Parliament expiring on April 24th, a new palianient must he elected before the let of July, unless provisional esti- mates to carry on the affairs of the country for three months are passed. Mr McNeil, Conservative, and Hon. Mr Foster, had a lively set-to in the House the other day in the course of which McNeil told Foster "be was'nt fit to lead a county council, let alone a Parliament." The committee appointed by the On- tario government will, it is said, report in favor of retaining Government House, and their report will likely be itdo ted. The people of the Province, we believe, are not favorable to retain- ing Government House, at least not in present form, and it would be both economy and policy to abolish it. Dr. W. A. Dixon, of Chatham, has keen committed' Jen trial on a charge of non-stipp8rting his wife. The pre- liminary enquiry disclosed a most la- mentable condition of affair in the do- mestic life of the principals in the case Additional Local Nowa. PEOPLE WHO TRAVI9L.—Mr Gab, Spi ung and sister left on Wednesday foe L'ar'go, Dakota, and John Hender- son for Morderi, Manitoba. They Welee ticketed by W. Jackson, town, agent.

Smith, Maple Lodge. the highly bred Durham bull, 19th ;Prince of Thule. This bull is just what the farmers should patronize, as in his breeding is combined beef, butter and milk. His dans has a tested record of 62 lbs. of milk in a day and 15 lbs. of butter week. PERSONALS FROM OUR EXCHANGES. —Mrs Taylor, of Clinton, w s the guest of Mrs J. P.

Dempsey, who has been spending some time in Wingham, has returned to Clinton. TRIFLES. —Eggs have dropped to about 10 cents. They are coming in plentifully, and Cantelon Bros; are handling several thousand dozen week- ly. The sleighing has disappeared in town, but there's plenty of it yet on some concessions and will be for two weeks yet. There's to be a wedding in town next week, one the following week, and likely others in the near future. WANTED TO BE FAIR.—Last January while Me Hearn was out in the country, he bought some turkeys from a farm- er, the price to be 8c a Ib., which the farmer said he thought would be the market price. Mr . Hearn willingly paid the price and forgot all about the matter until the ether day, when he met the farmer in town, who claimed that he had unintentionally cheated Mr Hearn, as the correct market price was only 7c per lb., and wanted to pay back 'the difference, which Mr Hearn refused to accept. HOUSE MATTERS.—Mr Albert Seeley has bought the property on Mary St., foe ruerly owned by Mr Cadzow. pay- ing therefore the sum of $500 cash; he has got a good property at a very rea- sonable price; having the cage he will soon require to get a bird for it. Chas. Hanley bas bought a house on Fred- rick St. belonging to Hector Junor; the price paid was $750, and the sale was effected through T. M. Carling.— H. W. Cook has rented the house on Rattenbury St. owned by E. Holmes. Geo. Barge has rented a small house of Mrs Cooper's, on Albert street. PIANO REcrree.—Miss Eva Farran's recital will he given in the Foresters' Hall, overBiddlecombe's, on Saturday evening, March, 28th, from 8.30 to 9.30.

Rail' Vocal duet .. .... Misses McMurray and Irwin Vocal solo Mies Herman Sacred quartette -...Come unto me............ Admission free. FRUIT IN HIIRON COUNTY.—Fruit growers in this section have been test- ing fruit buds of various kinds, and up to date Alex. McD. Allen of Goderich, reports most favorably. In apples of all varieties the buds are strong and in v, high -colored bloom, indicating a heavy setting. Peach buds are strong and safe thus far in all varieties, and pears, plums and cherries do not show any winterkilling, or even weakening of bud. With water upon the west and north-west of us it is a rare occur- rence to find in any season that degree of winter frost that would injure buds, and this winter we have escaped the low frost line of nearly every point in this Province. The importance of the fruit crop to this county can be seen, when it is known that in apples alone our orchard ;capacity in bearing now exceeds a half -million barrels. PROMOTION EXAMINATIONS. — The following pupils of Miss O'Neil's Divi- sion have been promoted to the Junior Fourth:—Lillian Agnew, Minnie Kerr, Edna Manning, Willie Young, Bert Blacker, Ida Ross, Stanley Baer, Lot- tie Cook, Jennie Shannon, Silas An- dretvs, B.

SUPPER. — The members of Court Prosperity, A.O F. held their third annual supper on Friday evening last, at the Hotel Clarendon. The incle- ment weather doubtless was respon- sible for a smaller number present than anticipated, yet there was a good turnout, and an excellent time enjoyed. The supper was in keeping with the reputation enjoyed by this house for occasions of this kind. The chair was occupied by F. W. Watts, D.D., and the vice chair by J. D. Kilty. After the usual loyal toasts, that of "Our Society" was responded to by MrWatts and Mr Abell, of Seaforth; Mr Watts' remarks were of considerable length and dealt with the principles and b.metlts of the order. On behalf of the Corporation of Clinton, the Mayor responded, and also Reeve Kennedy, Deputy -Reeve Cooper and Councillor Chidley. "Canada, our home" was responded to by Dr. Freeborn, in an able and lengthy address, which re- viewed its origin, resources and posi- tion. "Sister Societies," by Messrs Holloway and Robson. "Manufactur- ing Interests," by J. P. Doherty, S. S. Cooper and J. Broadfoot, Seaforth. "The Ladies." by F. Pickett, J. Kilty, S. Cooper and R. Box, Seaforth; Mr Kilty gave a burlesque of one of John McMillan's speeches, and did it well. "The Press," by local representatives. "Host and Hostess," by Mr Miller. "Tho li by waiters" Was followed "For they are daisies." Song* were inter- spersed by Messrs R.

Special preparations are being made for the anniversary of Rattenbury St. Sabbath school, on Sunday, April 5. The late Mrs Acheson, of Goderich, bequeated $1000 to the Women's Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist church. Rev. J. W.Holmes was at Strathroy last week attending the funeral of his brother-in-law, the late J. W. Rapley, of Kincardine. On Sunday evening next Rev.

Salton, preached in the First Methodist church, St. Thomas, Sun- day, being the church which has invit- ed him for pastor:at the close of his term in Stratford. His pulpit here was occupied by Robert Holmes, pub- lisher of the Clinton NEW ERA, who preached excellent and practical ser- mons. Mr Holmes is well qualified, al- though a layman, to hold up his end with the better -than -average preacher, and need offer no applogy when called upon to officiate in an emergency. There will be special meetings in the S. A. Barracks on Good Friday, April 3rd. Brigadier Margolis, of London, the Provincial Secretary, will lead on. He will be assisted by Ensign Oglivie and Captain Comstock, of Stratford; Capt. and Mrs Sloate, of Goderich; Capt. and Mrs Clark, of Bayfield, anti Capt. Orchard and Lieut. Hancock, of Seaforth.

Stephen. FIRE.—On Saturday last the pump shopowned by Henry and John Silber was destroyed by fire. It appears that th..y were in the building and did seine work in the morning; they came down town for a few minutes, and in that time the shop caught fire. The bucket brigade turned out in full force and did all they could, but to no avail. Everything was destroyed. Oneof our citizens turned out with a tree sprayer. Exeter BLOOD VESSEL BURST. — Jonathan Kydd, of Exeter North, the other day burst a blood vessel in his head and has since been out of his mind. His recovery is doubtful, as the blood has clotted throughout his head. NARROW ESCAPE. — What might have resulted in a serioue conflagr ation happened at the Trivitt ,Memorial church, Exeter, the other evening. It seems the sexton, Jas. Dennis, a as charging the gasoline tank, and in so doing spilt a portion of gasoline on top of the tank, and on approaching it with a lamp the ignitable fluid took tire, and it was with considerable dif- ficulty that the flames were extin- guished. NOTES.—The Stephen and TJaborne branch agricultural society will not hold a spring fair this year. Mre New- comb is quite ill, her mental faculties having become impaired. Mrs Towl, mother of Hezekiah Towl, of town, died at Centralia on the 20th. Ricliard Gould's dwelling came nearly being burned down on Monday morning last; the chimney caught fire, and be- fore noticed the fire was blazing out in the room. CHURCH NOTES.—Revival services are being conducted in the James St. church this week. Sunday morning last ten persons more joined the Main St. church, making in all neatly sev- enty to enroll their names, of the one hundred converts, the result of the re- cent protracted meetings. A vestry meeting was held in the Trivitt Mem- orial church last Monday evening, to consider the resignation of Rev. Mr Hunt; several propositions were made but nothing was definitely decided upon. VALUARLA HORSES KILLED.—The Allen steamer. Numidian, which- ar- rived at Halifax from Liverpool, on Monday experienced strong westerly gales. Two thorohred stallions died at sea. They were owned by Messrs Hor- ton & Tunes, of Clinton. The loss of these animals will be pretty heavy, as the iritteranee Companies will not take much of a risk on them. THE WING SCANDAL. Wingham, Maroh.—There is intense excitement bete as a result of tho death at the London hospital of J. G. Field, of this town, who was taken from his house by a mob ou the night of M`s oh 10, in bis night clothes, and subjected to a wbippiug on account of a charge that he bed been having improper relations with his daught- er. On the night prreceding, an attempt wee made to entice Field from bis house which was not eacoeseful, and the affair appears to have been deliberately planned. The mob evidently was led b ' certain worthless characters, who have since left town, but others of a respectable class are alleged to have been concerned And they are shaking in their Ones. Merchants were solicited for money to buy whiskey for the crowd, lampblack to blacken their faces, and for whips, bat although there had been drinking, the crowd was not a drunken one. Field had to be taken from his house by force, and is said to have put up snob a vigorous defence that one of his assailants was nearly choked. A MOOR TRIAL. A mook trial had gone through when he was taken outside, and he Protested in- nocence of the orime charged to him. He was kept atandingin the snow for abcut half an hour in hie bare feet, with the temperature below zero, and as he was taken back to the house he was flogged till blood came. His feet and legs were frozen. While this was being oarried on by the more disorderly element, unsuccessful efforts were made to interfere by the older and more sober apeotators. The severity of the whipping given him is a -matter of doubt, but a number of blows were snack. Whether he was struck or not however, the exposure to the intense cold was such an ordeal as few men could endure and live. NOT THE FIRST TIME. Three years ago, under similar circum- stances, Field's house was visited by a gang of men for the purpose of giving him a coat of tar and feathers. He escaped and ran to the house of Mayor Clegg, begging for protection. The Mayor took bim in and then spoke to the mob, saying he wculd proteot Field and punish anyone who en- deavored to molest him. He assured them that ho would investigate the matter and if there was any evidence on which to aot, take legal proceeding. Field was escorted home by constables, but no ground sufficient for the laying of an information could be found at that time, and the matter was dropped. Persistent rumors of immorality oontinued, and there has been some feeling against Mr. Clegg for not proceeding, but he had no jurisdiction, so he claims. A MYSTERIOUS GIRL. A majority of the people have never seen Rosie, (the girl in question,) to their know- ledge, and mystery surrounds her daily life as it does her birth. The man who has lived next door to them for eight months would not know her if he sa,v her on the street. He. may have seen her hang- ing out clothes, but never saw her pass his hoose. James Netterfleld lives within a very short distance of the hoose, and he says he has seen her carrying water from the spring, as be has seen the boys, but ne- v er the other girls, but did not know her, and would hardly recognize her on the street. This is the story which is heard on every side. The pastor of the family, Rev. Mr Perry, hid never seen her. The neigh- bors do not even know her appearance, and it is almost impossible to learn the story of her life. The common report is that she was kept at the hard and rough work of the household. In this connection Dr Towler today stated that in his attendance on Ro- eie he noticed that her hands were misshap- en and deformed, as if from excessive labor. It was not eaob deformity as would arise from rheumatism or any similar pause. As to her mental condition he was not in a position to speak professionally. He could merely repeat thecommonly accepted story that she was not altogether wise, bat this he could only say as a matter of hearsay. If any credence is to be given to the com- mon belief among the people, Fields used his family with great severity, but this the family stoutly degies. Endless stories are told of the terror of him in whioh they liv- ed, but no one seems to have seen him strike any one of them. Thomae Fields and Lily stoutly maintdin that their father was always good to them, but in common with the rest of the family, they refused to discuss the case further. Mrs Tamblyn,the wife of Dr Tamlyn, says that though she frequently sat all day in her husband's of- fice, which was above Field's botcher shop, she never heard or saw anything which would lead her to suspect that Fields was abusive to hie family. Everybody admits that when Fields and his children appear- ed in public they seemed to be on the best of terms. He drank to excess periodically and was then very violent. He was arrest- ed some six years ago for drawing a knife on the Salvation army and chasing them on the streets. A couple of men who are known to have taken an active part in the attack have left the town, but they are all well-known. They mast have been recog- nized by the members of the Field family. Their whereabouts is pretty generally known, so that they could be reached in & very short time if necessary. Others are still in town, and declare their intention of remaining and standing anything that may Dome ap. ON woo TOOK PART. Among those who participated in the at- tack and made no effort to disguise the fact is Robert Harrison, a Lightly built man of 27. To a reporter he told his story of the affair with every appearance of sinner ity. He declares that he took no part in the first demonstration on the previous against Fields, but admits freely his part in the second attack. It was not, he said, the result of any Gudden premien. The proposal to mob Fields had been discussed for days and was encouraged by reepon- sible members of the community, who, Harr:son was given to understand by his companions, promised to see the boys through in the event of any trouble. As to the breaking in of the doors he says noth- ing. He entered the house, but fired no shots and had no revolver in his poseesion. Shots were fired by sore members of the crowd, and one by Thos. Fields. Those fired by the 'crowd were with blank cart- ridges, and young Fields fired his In the air. Harrison denies that he was thrown down by old man Fields, but says that he received a blow from him on the arm with a club. He says that young Fields begged of the flret three men who entered the house not to hurt bis father and that he(Harrison) assured him that no violence wound be used, that the crowd simply wanted to administer a little horsewhitping to him and that they would bring him back safe. Yoang Fields wanted to go with the crowd but Harrison advised him to remain in the house. THE CROWN Wrrr. Ace. The Ontario Government has decided to take up the investigation of the Wingham outrage, and within a day or so an officer will be sent from Toronto. Thieinformat- ion cornea from the Drown authorities at London, and the stop bas open taken, so that the attendant experitiewill be borne by the Provinoialanthorties, and notby either the municipalities of London it Winghr<m. Now that the crown bas decided . to take the eititeee lits >4n attempt will deubtlrse be matlp fix tijirosw' 414l4 Open whet nothing whatever has beep chid about heretofore namely, Fields' wanderfpge after he waa put upon the train atBelgraeo by hie eon pod seat to Lensing, ;Mich. Tee result of the autopsy will be Deride known on There - day night. It will be remembered that Fields became delirious, rind was removed to the "D. T." ward before it wee disoovered that he was cluttering from inflammatioq of the lungs. The poet mortem will prob- ably show whether the delirium wee caused by the inflammation or by liquor.
