The : roeting was hugely attended, Ronsidering' the aeon of the year. ee Resolutions of absolute confidence in Sir Charles Tupper and hie administra- tion were unanimously passed. West Huron Liberals. Mr. M. O. Cameron the unani- mous choice of the convention. The Liberal convention held at Dungan- non on Friday, for the purpose of nomtua- ting a candidate for the Commons, was by general consent the largest, most represen- tative and enthnaiastio gathering of Liber- als ever held in the well-reoognized fighting riding of West Huron. Ever sine the Magnificent viotory auhieved by Mr M. C. Cameron in January last, the Reformers of this constituency are determined to supple- ment that triumph by just such another, when they will aim tooled by a still larger majority a supporter of the Hon. Wilfrid Laurier on the 23rd of June next. Every part of the riding was represented, over 200 delegates responding to the call. evinoing a determination on their part to help place the Liberal oanae and party in the van. - .The meeting was opened in the largest hall in the village, but this not being found anything like large enough, an adjournment was made to the more commodious Agri- cultural Hall, outside the village. The President, Mr D. McGillicuddy,re- sided at the meeting, and after the prelim- inaryibusiness, the convention proceeded to the work of nominating a candidate. Mr J. T. Garrow the popular member in the Legislature, nominated Mr M. C. Cameron, who for nearly thirty years bas been the Liberal standard-bearer in the south and west of Huron. ' Ex -Warden Girvin eeo- ended the nomination. The mention of Mr Cameron's name was the signal for a wild outburst of applause, which onlminated in the entire convention rising to its feet, showing its unanimous desire to once more place him at the head of the polls. Mr Cameron on rising to addrees the con- vention, met with a welcome from "hie old Liberal friends that must have repaid him for the trouble and turmoil of the ten elec- tion contests through whioh it has been his fortune to pass. He reviewed some of the early political battles of the good old County of Huron, and entered into a short resume of the doings of the last session of the Dominion Parliament. He denounced in strong terms the present administra- tion. He spoke in the highest terms of the entry of Sir Oliver Mowat into Dominion politics and predicted a sweeping majority on the 23rd of June for the Liberal natty. He intimated to the convention that if he was to consult his own feelings in the mat- ter, be would retire from political life and allow his party to place the standard in the hands of a younger and stronger man, but he felt hecould not refuse such an earnest call from so many of his friends. He con- cluded one of his old-time speeches by ac- cepting the nomination so unanimously ten- dered him. Mr P. MacKenzie, the Liberal candidate for West Bruce, and Mr Frank Pedley, made a few remarks, and after arrrange- menta fer the thorough organization of the riling had been perfected, resolutions of confidence were passed in the Liberal lead- er and Liberal pokey, and welcoming ttir Oliver Mowat's entrance into Dominion polities, also one affirming confidence in their candidate, Mr M. C. Cameron, and the great convention adjourned. The Mesetrtlis ite Nomination. About sixty members of the Independent party met at Carlow, Saturday last, to nominate a candidate to contest West Ear - on at the next election. J. Murdoch, of Auburn, was in the chair. The following nominations were made: J. Mardooh, of A.ribirrn. M. Lockhart, Wawanosh. Thos. Ginn, Goderich Tp. G. M. Kitty, Summerhill. The three firet named declined in favor of Mr Kitty and his nomination was made unenimous.

Caritelon, general merchant of Lortie, been a welcome visitor to my home in the west; it is the newsy paper of the east and well worth the small price of $1; we were well pleased to bear that M. C. Cameron had snowed under his opponent in the late election." QUEER FISH. -Mr Jas. Pollick, of Bayfleld, sent a very strange sort of fish to Clinton the other day to have the skin stuffed. It is about 17 inches long and has a long, pointed bill with very sharp teeth, and it is the only flsh of the kind that has been known to have been caught in this part of the wor Id. Mr Pollick is quite a fancier of such things and he has a fine collection. BASEBALL -The London Advertiser says: -"Capt. S.

IMpROVING THE STREETS. -Several. of the citizens on Rattenbury St. have been fixing np their boulevards ready for seeding since the road was graded; we hope more will follow Emit. We understand that the Street Committee are willing to work the grader on any street the residents of which make ap- plication for it and are willing to pay simply for the horse hire. It is not 'the intention or the comnrittee to make the boulevards complete; persons owning lots will have to attend to poet of it; in some places there will be plen- ty of soil, and in others parties will have to get*soil to fill up.

Monday afternoon a rather clerical looking ppeoreen walked up and down the platform at Clinton station• with soft felt 1tat,elightly rakish, long beard, broad -cloth coat, he had the outward appearance of a min- ister. Some one noticing him remarked, to a companion : "Who's that minister there ?" "Re's Wellen," was the laconic reply. The other did not understand, and remarked, "Well, he's not kneeling now, though that may be bis business; what's his name?" "He's Neilan, don't you know ? Nei- lan, of the Seaforth Sun." "Oh, the dickens it is; why don't he dress himself so that people won't mis- take a poor editor for a respectable clergyman?" and the train moving out the victim of this little incident has- tened away. Presbytery of Huron. This court met in Union Church, Brucefield, on Tuesday,May 12th. The following are the chief items of busi- ness transacted:- Mr ransacted:Mr Martin, having served for the usual period as representative ot the Presbytery in the Assembly's Home Mission Committee, asked to be re- lieved, and Mr Acheson was appointed in his stead. A carefully prepared sta- tistical report was presented by Mr Fletcher, and fully discussed by the Presbytery. The report showed a con- siderable increase in the membership of the churcb, and iri the contributions of the congregations, during the year. Messrs Stewart and Habkirk declined appointment as commissioners to the General Assembly, and Messrs Shaw and Hilien were elected in their stead. A motion, that the Presbytery should meet quarterly instead of bi-monthly, as at present, was lost. Mr Fletcher askedleave of absence for three months. The request was granted, and Mr Mar- tin was appointed Moderator of the Sessions ot Thames broad and Kirkton, until Mr Fletcher's return. The com- mittee appoicted some time ago, to consider the advisability of forming a Presbyterial Union of the Societies of Christian Endeavor connected wit h the congregations within the bounds, reported that the attention of the lo- cal societies had been directed to the subject, and that most of them had discussed it; that though a majority were in favor of the proposed union, it was desirable that a copy of the con- stitution should be sent to each local society, and time allowed for further consideration, before taking final ac- tion. The report was received, and the recommendation adopted. Mr D. A. Fowlie, assistitnt to Dr. McDonald, Seaforth, was reported as the only theological student at present within ,the bounds, and the committee on the superintendence of students was in- structed to present to him subjects for the usual exercises. Notices were read from several Presbyteries, of their in- tention to apply to the next General Assembly for the reception of minis- ters at present belonging to other churches. Mr Musgrave was appoint- ed to represent the Presbytery on the Assembly's Committee on bills and overtures. The decision of the Synod of Hamilton and London, in the ap- peal of Mrs Gavin Ross from the judg- ment of Presbytery, on .certain person- al charges against Mr J. S. Henderson, minister of Carmel church. Hensall, was read. The Synod sustained the action of the Presbytery, and dismiss- ed the appeal, thus clearing Mr Hen- derson's character in relation to these- charges. But inasmuch as it appeared from the record, that Mrs Ross had a grievance against the Session of Hen- sall, on account of their refusing a cer- tificate cf church membership some years ago, on the ground of chargee which were never investigated, the Synod directed the Presbytery to look into this matter, with a view to the removal of the grievance, and the vin- dicature of Mrs Ross' character and standing. Mrs Ross and the Session were present in answer to the Clerk's East Huron Teachers i'dn a rwtltekingieu aI "Bnglitn Met* r* sctpp.Tho oX the . wxJ ow."e: 0001 tneho a oPrens #tuoto icma ,empha+l g be, lm s ..o :dl wuoptrete theAga ak.1b1o, anot •Ie4nng b3>ln .to thluk, for.Intnself.

Mips Vobert- agar of the ?Wiughnmublio sghoole, gave -number of methods, illuatrative of her tine, thuds in teaghiog aoveral enbjectr of the public aohool corse. She dealt on the im- portence of the use of a map in teaching history and literature. Her proseutationof the methods exhibited were creditable to herself, as well as instructive and suggestive to ell present. On resuming business an Friday morning, the financial statement for 1895 was pre- sented by the secretary -treasurer, showing a balance on hand of $110.63, On motion of Mr Lough, seconded by Mr Robb, the re- port was adopted. The next order of busi- ness was the election of officers, which re- sulted as fellows; President._ Mr J. S. Cameron; first vice president, Mr J. T. Dodds; second vice president, Mise Robert- son; seoretary-treasurer, A. H. Plummer; executive committee -Memo Dobson, Forsyth, MoDonald, and Misses Reynolds and Willson. The newly elected president then took his position in the chair, and (salted for the address of Mr Scott, the re- tiring president, who dealt with the sub- ject of "Written examinations." Hie re- marks were concise and to the point, and in his address suggested some changes, partic- ularly with regard to uniform promoters/ examinations, claiming that the examinee tion would be more uniform if no teacher examined the paper of hie own pupils. He also thought it better to have the drawing books and book-keeping books disosrded on entrance and•publio sobool leaving examin- ations. This provoked a lively discussion, Mr. Sohmidt,of the Seaforth Collegiate In- stitute, next took up the subject of gram- mar, whin.'. he handled in a very able man- ner, showing the mistakes most frequently met with in teaching the subject, and bow to correct them. Next Mr. Forsyth, of bohool Section Na. 2, Tuokersmith, read a very instructive paper on " How to keep pupils employed in school." He presented the subject that no one listening could fail to receive benefit. Mr Ingram, of No. 1, Tuokersmith, took up the subject, "Voice culture in reading," which he dealt with very exhaustively, throwing out many valuable hints regarding the teaching of reading. After the usual vote of thanks, the meet- ing closed, to meet at the oa)l of the exeou- tive committee. It may be here mention- ed that the Association will henceforth meet during the mid -summer holidays, so as to avoid breaking the teaching term. APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.

After the opening exercises by Mr Lough, and the caning of the roll, the regular busi- ness of the meeting was proceeded with. The first order of bosiness was the appoint- ment of committees, after which the sub- ject of mensuration, "How to teach tbe circle," was very ably presented by Mr Wynn, of Cianbrook, the method being to show the relations of different parts of the circle by the objeot. In this manner the rule for finding the area, oircumference and diameter of the eirole was found by aottial examination by pupils themselves, thug avoiding the use of rules, which the pupil dM not understand or vsould soon for- got, This was discussed at some length by Messrs Cheawright and Hogg. The next subject taken tip was "Elemen- tary ruler: in arithmetic, by Mr W. H. Stsrivert, of Igo. 1, Grey, showing how be would introduce the study of arithmetic to the &Lid. He laid great terms on mechan- ical operations in the early stages, mom - mending the mastering cif all its oombina- taking up another.
