One of Beattie's livery horses was
driven to Stratfprd last Thursday night
and on the return journey Friday
afternoon died near (Clinton opposite
the Shipley farm. The horse was at
Stratford washed with the waterworks
as is the custom and Chid is supported to
have affected the animal. Along with
•Friday's melting heat in driving home
the animal gave out and in a short
' time died.

NIXON STURDY, Clerk.
To'The Eleetors of South Huron.,;
GENTLEMEN.—Having agreed to'"i
come a candidate at the approaching
election for the representation of
South Huton, it Is fitting that I should
state my views on some of the ques-
tions that may likely be brought be-
fore you.
I am in hearty sympathy with those
whobelieve in the maintenance of Brit-
ish connection, and I belieye that a
closer union of all parts of the British
empire would be greatly to our benrtit.
I believe that the constituation of
this country as agreed upon at con-
federation should be maintained in its
entirety, and that the rights of minori-
ties having a grievance which the
Federal government can and has the
power to redress, should be fairly and
impartially considered.
The platform of the patrons of In-
dustry I believe to be in the interest
of the country, and if elected, I will
support such legislation as may be
calculated to carry out that platform,
come from what party it may. I
think that extra indemnity to mem-
bers should not be allowed, neither
should mileage be allowed to members
travelling on tree railway passes.
I am in favor of strict integrity and
economy in the conduct of the affairs
of the country, and shall be in favor of
any legislation tending to decrease the
expenses of the Government without
effecting the efficiency of the same.
I am in favor of protection to manu-
facturers, and also to farmers Situat-
ed,as we are, alongside of a country that
closes its markets to our products,
we cannot afford to let their producers
make a slaughter market of our
country. or to destroy our manufactur-
ing and agricultural industries. I am
in favor of trading on fair terms.
During the progress of the cam-
paign I hope to have opportunities of
addressing you upon the foregoing
and other subjects of interest, and I
hope that on election day yon will
have no difficulty in corm -tens to the
conclusion to mark your ballots for
Yours truly.

marriage of his daughter, Maggie, to
Mr. Carson Moore.
The firemen of Wingham were called
out on Tuesday morning last to put
out a drethat had been started in the
boy's closet at the public school. By
the time the water was turned on the
building was about destroyed. Cause
of fire is unknown.
The residence of Mr. James Forsyth,

Grey township Council has agreed to
expend $10O for gravel on the Western
boundary, on condition that Morris
township does likewise, When it is
considered that there is about ten
miles of road, and part of that very
badly in need of attention, the sum of
$200 will have to be stretched pretty
well to cover the ground.
ANOTHER OLD IDEA 'EX-
PLODED,
The old fashioned notion that to
keep warm one had to he loaded with
a succession of garments till the
weight of them was a burden and one
felt too bulky to move has been ex-
ploded. The age of common sense and
comfort has arrived, when a man can
adapt his clothing to suit all Weather
without swathing himself like a
mummy. Fibre Chamois, the inter-
lining which makes this possible has
gained its great popularity, because it
is an absolute non-conductor of heat
and cold. No breath of cold or frosty
wind can penetrate it from without'
neither can the natural heat of the
body escape throdgh it, and it is so
light that clothing may be interlined
with it, all through, without its add-
ing any perceptible weight.
Thirty years ago Tuesday was a live-

Rev. W. F. Tierney, of King-
ston, Deavon, England, arrived in
Blyth on Monday evening of last week
and is now sojournin at the residence
of his brother, Mr. J. B. Tierney, in
East Wawanosh. He was so favor-
ably impressed with Canada, while
here one year ago, that he decided on
resigning his parish in England and
making this country his future home.
We welcome the reverend gentleman
amongst us and trust that he will never
have occasion to regret the decision
made to make the land of the maple
leaf the home of his adoption.
June is likely to have her usual quota
of weddings. Already some have
taken advantage of the month of roses
while others will follow ere the waning
of the moon is over. Mr. Irwin Patti -
Ben was the lucky man this week, and
the bride was one of Morris' most
popular yoting ladies, Miss Bertha E.
Lawrence. The ceremony was per-
formed at her borne, near Belgrave,
Wednesday evening in the presence of
a host of friends, the Rev. Mr. Shaw

A reporter for the Guelph -Mercury
Is going around in company with an
angry scowl and a coiled suit of
clothes. He was in a grocery store
examining some maple syrup. It was
a genuine local article, the product of
Canadian industry, and it resented the
patronizing manner in which the Grit
reporter was handling it. Just as the
newspaper man had his eye down to
the stopper to see how it worked, the
stopper flew up at him and the syrup
followed suit. The reporter got some
of the contents in the neck; also on his
face and shirt front and new coat and
vest. Though the syrup was exceed-
ingly sweet, it is said the scribe feels
decidedly sour ever since the accident
happened.
Mr. John Cameron, pump maker, of
Lucknow, had a very narrow escape
from fatal accident on Tuesday week
last. Ile was engaged putting in a
curbing into a well on the farm of Mr.
R. Woods, of West Wawanosh, when
a.portinn of the ground caved in and
Mr. Cameron fell nearly 50 feet to the
bottom of the well. Fortunately for
Mr. Cameron he slipped into the well
Leet first, as the falling earth buried
him nearly to the shoulders, and al-
though he was badly bruised, he is not
seriously hurt and no bones are brok-
en. He had a close call, and his escape
from fatal accident was miraculous.
Last Sunday morning at 9.30 o'clock
Martin Farrow, one of the old settlers
of Turnberry, passed peacefully away
at the ripe old age of 90 years and six
months. Mr. Farrow was horn in
Lincolnshire, England, in 1805. He
came to Canada in 1819, taking up his
residence in the township of Clark,
near Port Hope, where he lived for
eighteen years, until in 1867 he moved
to Bluevale and resided with his son,
John Farrow, until his death last Sun-
day. Three sons and one daughter
survive him—John Farrow, gristmiller,
Bluevale; Thos. Farrow, ex -M. P.,
postmaster at Brussels; Asher Farrow,
collector of customs, Goderich; Mrs,
Wm. Smith. Bluevale. His death was
caused by blood poisoning, and up to
the time of his last illness he scarcely
knew what it was to be unwell. He
was a staunch Conservative, a member
of the Methodist church, and was high-
ly respected by all who knew him and
by whom he will be much missed.—
Wingham Advance,
On Friday week last, Mr. Robt.
Campbell, of McKillop, with his broth-
er and daughter, was going into Sea -
forth with a span of horses and a
double carriage. and when a short dis-
tance north of the first concession., rte
horses got frightened at an old reaper
table which had been left on the side
of the road, and shying to one side,
upset the vehicle into the ditch. Mr.
Campbell very ninpisily..held on to the,
horses and kept them from running
away, although he got his leg pretty
badly bruised, and was pretty badly
shaken up. His brother escaped in-
jury, but we. are sorry to learn that
iss (:anipbell did not escape so for-
tunately. She had her leg broken
between the knee and ankle. After
having the injured limb attended to,
she was taken home, and is getting
along as well as could be expected, but
it will be some titne before she will he
around again, as the fracture is a very
severe one. The horses or carriage
were not injured. It was very care-
less on the part of the authorities to
have an obsticle of this kind on the
road side.
Church of England Sunday School
Convention of the County of
Nuron
(From an occasional Correspondent.1
The resounding peals of the Clinton
town bell aroused the good citizens
from their slumbers on the morning of
Tuesday, June 2nd, at 6 o'clock, by
which time certain early birds of the
St. Paul's Sunday School having as-
sembled at the schoolhouse, mounted
a surrey, and behind a spanking team
of chestnuts from the stables ot Davis
& Mcelool, were soon howling along
the delightful road to Blyth. The air
fresh and cool, the sunshine touching
up the dewdrops by the wayside turn-
ing them into sparkling jewels, the
clear azure sky alone — put each
and every one in the best of
spirits and filled with pleasurable
anticipations the septette who were
one halt of the delegation who rep-
resented the Hub on this occasion. One's
thoughts naturally turned to thank-
fulness for living in such a country as
this. The delightful variety of scenery
and landscape, the undulating roads in
splendid order the restful green tints
of tree and field, the peaceful and
prosperous aspect of the countryside
filled the heart with thankfulness to
Him who cast our lot in this favored
Viand.
Exchanging a few words with friend
T. W. Scott in passing through Blyth,
the conveyance was headed for Wal-
ton, where the church corners were
reached without incident. save the at-
tacking of lunch baskets with appetite
sharpened by the fresh morning air,
much to their depletion.- The north-
ward turn leads us Brusselsward, the
road becoming now enlivened by
teams of varied kinds from stage wag-
gon and loads of hogs to bikes and at
length the tree lined streets of the
cleanly town were reached and traver-
sed and the Clinton representatives
had the honor of being about the first
if nut the veryfirst in the field.
Punctually at 0) the carriage with its
precious load was drawn up at Chris.
Tilliax's hotel, and by 10 a. m. the
ladies of the party, having removed
the signs of travel and adjusted their
headgear, were seated in the cool and
pretty little church of St. John and re-
ceived with the greatest cordiality by
Henry Dennis, Esq., the genial secre-
tary of the eonvention .
Proceedings were opened hy a short
service of hymns and prayer and the
recitation of the creed, and this was
followed by an admirable address of
weiconie to the convention, delivered
with h ;lrt_y kindness and sincere
warmth by Rev, K. Griffin of St.
Johns, the president, who set all at
their ease -and struck the keynote of
the convention in the course of his .re-
marks which were much to the point
and duly appreciated. Ile said that he
considered that the benefit conferred
on the parish of Brussels by the pres-
ence of this convention were very
large and the good done the cause was
great.
The secretary read the minutes of
last year's meeting at Seaforth and the
chief interest then centered on the
reading of the reports of the various
Sunday Schools in the Deanery of
Huron, which were of a very satisfac-
tory nature. nearly all the parish was
represented and such as were not
reported on appeared to be caused by
the vacancy of the parish or mission.
The discussion on the questions asked
revealed the fact that the greatest
hindrance to the regularity of atten-
dance was the indifference of the
parents to their duty in seeing that
the children were sent to the schools,
The report also showed that there
existed great divergence of custom as
to the method of opening and closing
the schools as well as the Hymnal
used and a resolution, proposed by
Rev. C. R. Gunne M. A., of Gorrie, re-
questinga greater uniformity in these
and recommending the Institute sys-
tem of lessons which properly marked
the varying seasons of the church's
year, was unanimously adopted.
The convention then adjourned to
the basement of the church in which
about two hundred delegates were
entertained in a very sumptuous man-
ner by the ladies of St. John's congre-
gation.
After a short stroll through the
neat, clean and bright business part ot
the town the convention reassembled
under the presidency of the Rural
Dean, J. W. Hodgins, of Seaforth,
when three admirable papers were
read, prepared by Miss Brown, of Sea -
forth, on the Primary teacher; on "The
Teacher's Aim," by J. Ades Fowler, C.
E., of Clinton; and on "How to Retain
Scholars in the Sunday School" by
Mrs. Foster of Wingham; these were
followed by extensive discussion on
each. The backwardness of the ladies
to take part in the expression of opin-
ion was -deprecated by more than one
of the reverend gentlemen present.
A splendid illustrative lesson in Mis-
sionary Instruction was given by Mrs.
Griffin, Brussels, who was assisted by
a class whose readiness in answering
and acquaintance with the church
Catechism were much commended.
The election of officers resulted in
Exeter beingchosen as the place of
meetinpl and as no rector is at present
appointed and the S'e'ctor of the parish
is exyofcia president that office will
be tilled by whoe'r'er is the rector of
Exeter nest year. 'Mr. Perkins, of Ger-
rie, was chosen Vice -President and
Miss Sweet, of Exeter, Cor. Secretary
and Treasurer, whilst Henry Dennis,
of Brussels, was re-elected Recording
Secretary.
Another grand spread was made hy
the ledies of the church whose abun-
dant kindness was greatly appreciated
and at 7.30 the church was completely
filled by the visitors and congregation
when Divine service was held, Rural
Dean Hodgins and Rev. Higley saying
the prayers ; Revs. Mark Turnbull
and Roy reading the lessons. A
grand sermon listened to by all with
close attention was preached hy Rev.
C. R. Gunne, M. A., on the subject of
loyalty to the doctrines and system of
the church, which he handled with
copspicuous ability. The choir of the
church supplied good music and the
days proceedings were closed with
leavetakihgs and congratulations on
their enthusiastic and profitable na-
ture throughout.
A delightful drive through the peace-
ful country roads and quiet farms and
villages brought the day to a success-
ful endir.g, all feeling that it was good
to have been there and that the hands
of the too little appreciated S. S.
Teacher's would be much strengthened
and that they would be encouraged
to go on and do still more for the Mas-
ter and His Church.
WITH INVALIDS.
Yes I with invalids the appetite is
capricious and needs coaxing, that is
just the reason they improve so rapid-
ly under Scott's Emulsion, which is as
palatable as cream.
A pretty and interesting wedding
ceremony was performed in St. James
church, Seaforth on Tuesday morning
of last week when Mr. Lewis Malone,
eldest son of Mr. John Malone, of
Beechwood, and Mlss Lizzie McConnel,
daughter of the late Mr. Peter Mc
Connel, of 'nickel -smith were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony by
Rev. Father Kennedy.

Mr. N. Clarke Wallace addressed a
meeting in the interests of Robert
Newman in Peterborough last Thurs-
day. This is the same Newman, the
notorious_pproven fabricator, who catbe
to West Huron, last winter and made
an unworthy record for himself. Tan
NEws-Ra oltn is greatly surprised
thatMr. Wallace, a gentleman whom we
have always highly respected, would
lend his assistance to such a candidate
as Newman. The independent electors
of West Peterborough surely do not
place a high estimate on their, political
morals. The last stage is really to be
deplored if electors are to be guided by
the advice of some of these people who
have been a) btiely convicted of worse
than dere a e a n.
