HARVEST HOME.—The harvest home festival was held in the English church here, on Sunday morning, and an elo- quent sermon was dslivered by the Rev. Mr. Franklin, of Ripley, to a large congregation. The church was handsomely decorated for the occasion, and the rev. ,gentleman was highly pleased with the responses, the deep interest taken by the people, and also the liberal collection taken on this par- ticular occasion. OUR HARBOR.—The march of the Cameron men seems to be in the right direction so far as the harbor at this Port is concerned. According to latest reports from the House the member for West Huron talked plain English on Parliament Hill a few evening ago relative to the matter in question. See here, Charlie, where there is smoke there is sometimes fire. If the hon. gentleman follows up bis proposition and the harbor is put in proper shape, with your permission a good Tory will join you in a general jubilee. Two Disgraceful Episodes. Mall and Empire. Parliament has been disgraced by two exhibitions which, in any other assembly, would certainly have led to the expulsion of the offenders, as un- fit to associate with decent men. The first was presented by Mr. Cameron, of Huron. This Mr. Cameron is the member who made, some years ago, the impudent attack upon Sir John Macdonald's administration of the In- dian Department. The basis of the as- sault was the Indian reports, as pub- lished in the official documents. It appeared from Mr. Camerson's citations friom these reports that the Govern- ment had actually connived at the starvation of the wards of the nation. Everybody hearing the quotations was astonished, for the reports, although carefully read, had revealed no -13t ch enormities as those which Mr. Camer- on extracted from them. Upon fur- ther examination it was discovered that Mr. Cameron had garbled sen- tences to force into them a meaning which in their orginal form they did not bear. The member from Huron repeated his old trick in a speech he delivered the other day on the subject of the Lahgevin block. As regards the erection of that building, sworn testimony was given before a Com- mittee of Parliament. From that evi- dence, which, although reflecting upon the contractor, declared that the struc- ture, considering its size and charac- ter, was not expensive, Mr. Cameron, by unjust extracts, not only made out a case of fearful extravagance, but found the late Government open to the suspicion of having boodled. Any one of course can select isolated pass- ages from a document, or can trim such passages down to make them carry an interpretation that does not belong to them. Anyone can hint and infer a wrong. The trick is not very clover; nor is it particularly honest, and the man who is not naturally mean-spirited would scorn to be guilty of it. A more serious episode was that for which Mr. Lister was responsible. Mr. Lister is the insinuator for the Liberal side of the House. Li -Hung - Chang is said to attribute to every- body bad motiyes. The boodling in China has convinced him that no man can do any public act, or hold any public position, without stealing. Mr. Lister is of the Li -Hung -Chang turn of mind. His associations have given him a low opinion of human nature, and introspection has led him to sup, pose that everybody is more or less a rascal. It was his rascal theory that impelled him to make the false char in Parliament two years ago that Mr. Clarke Wallace had practically sold Customs decisions for a considera- tion. True, he apologized to Mr. Wallace for his fabrication, but an apology is after all poor reparation for a wrong that is not accidental, but de- liberace, and wanton. The same theory led to the attack of Thursday upon the personal honor of Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Foster -an attack which was unfounded, because it was made in Parliament, where Mr. Lister, in common with other members, has the privilege to speak as he pleases without danger of being called to ac- count by the courts. As a matter of fact, Mr. Lister, repeating his proce- dure in the case of Mr. Wallace, shield- ed himself behind his privilege as a member to give currency to libels which he well knew to be such. Mr. Lister has again retracted and apolo- gized. The Opposition forced him thus to acknowledge his mendacity and his meanness. But again his apo- logy, while satisfactory in the case of a mistake as to facts, is poor repara- tion for a wrong that was purposely done. Parliament of course, can- not protect [itself against such members as Mr. Cameron and Mr. Lister. It has to tolerate them, and permit them to libel as they please. But the people are In a different posi- tion. Tbey know how absolutely ne- cessary It is to except nothing that either of these gentlemen may allege at its face value. e A despatch from Grand Tower, Ill., says that an earthquake of thirty seconds duration was felt. It proceed- ed from a north-westerly direction. Purest and Best for Table and Dairy No adulteration.

Mrs. John McConnell, of Ribbert, was thrown from her buggy. She was not hurt, • Thieves are operating in Morrie township. 0. G. Campbell's and R McGuire s houses were raneae1 ed and a few dollars secured. Gavin Wilson, of Turnberry, says the Huron and Ontario Electric Rail- way will prove either a paying concern or a gigantic fraud. Through the timely discovery of logs on the C. P. R. track, by T. 11. Mannel at Wingham, a serious smash-up and probably loss of life was averted. The editor of the Wingham Times happened with an accident and is now compelled to write left-handed editor- ials, while the. Grits at Ottawa take kindly to the right. A petition is being circulated for the release of the prisoners who were sen- tenced for participation iu the Field Whitecap case at Wingham. The families of four of them are now on the verge of destitution. During the heavy thunderstorm last Sunday morning, Jacob Haberer, of Zurich, had four calves killed in the field by lightning. He did not discover the dead animals until evening. He estimates the logs about $35, as they were about nine months old and good ones. A meeting of the rural-deeanal chap- ter of Huron was held atSeaforthFriday week. Rev. Rural Dean Hodgins pre- sided, and the following members were present ; Revs. Turnbull,of Goderich ; Higley, of Blyth; Lowe, of Wingham; Bray, of Exeter; Mills, of Hensall; Stout, of Clinton; Griffin, of Brussels; and Messrs, Metcalf, Maxwell, Bulger, Day, and Holmsted. While running a Gordon press in the Wingham Times office on Tuesday morning, S. G. Brown, the editor, had the misfortune to get his hand caught in the press, with the result of break- ing two and bruising two fingers of his right hand. The wounded hand was soon dressed and he was out on the street again in the course of an hour or two. We hope he will soon recover the use of his hand. A movement is on foot to secure from the Dominion Government some recog- nition of the services of those volunteers whoserved their Queen and courtry Bur- inthe time of the Fenian Raid in 1886 In the furtherance of this move- ment a meeting of the officers and men in the vicinity, who were on service on that memorable occasion, was held at the commercial hotel, Seaforth, on Tuesday evening, this week. The duck shootingseason opened Tues- day, Sept. 1, and ends Dec 15. The open season for grouse, pheasants, prairie fowl or partridge,woodcock, snipe, rail- plover,or.any other waterfowl or game, bird or animal, including black or grey squirrels and hares does not begin till Sept. 15, and ends Dec. 15. The open season for quail begins one month later than the others, on Oct. 15, and ends the same day Dec. 15. -Exchange. The,Kincardine Review makes much flee}}rish; in announcing that our an- cieet friend, Alphabetical Pew, has promised to build 50 miles of electric railway, passing through Kincardine, this fall. When the Review becomes a little better acquainted with the great constructor of railways with his mouth, it won't buy a ticket to ride on the Huron -Ontario electric railway until the cars begin to run. -Hamilton Spectator. Thousands of barrels of good apples will this year rot in the orchards, and next winter and spring manya worthy poor family will lack fruit. Why should not most, if not all, of those apples be made use of by individual farmers, or associations of farmers' families, to turn them' to account ? The appliances for evaporing them, for making cider, cider apple sauce, eider vinegar and apple jelly are not very expensive. Could they not be made profitable ? A despatch from Pitlochry, Scot- land, conveys the pleasing news of Mr. Gideon Perrie's success in Scotland. It says: "In the contest held here to -day, September 5th, for the Caledonia Ath- letic championship, between Gideon Perrie of Brussels, Ontario, and the Scotchman, G. H. Johnstone, of Aber- deen, the former won, defeating John- stone in four out of seven events. Two new records were established, Johnstone throwing the twenty pound hammer 92 feet 2 inches, and Perrie putting the twenty-two pound shot 37 feet5 inches," Aeinn a, gowry .$pn a mill est .Fenlon Falls was bturnedt entailing aloes ef.$9.O,000. Prof. Francis .1'. Ob ld, Ph. D,, LL D., of Harvard University, died in Boston Friday. He was 71 years of age. Eighty thoueand men, 7,000 horses and over 400 guns were in action in the German military manoeuvres at Goer- lftz. The death is announced of the Rev. D. W. Keely, a superannuated Metho- dist minister, at Norwich, Ont,, aged 70. Dr. Nansen, the Arctic explorer, was received with public honors at Christ- iania and was decorated by King Os. car. Two cars of the Hamilton Radial railway crashed into each ether, but none of the passengers were seriously injured. Mr. Wm. Sutherland, a farmer in West Gwillimbury, Ont., aged 70, was instantly killed by a train Wednesday afternoon. Meetings of Armenian sympathizers are being called in all the great cities of England and at several of the capi- tals of Europe. Contractor Matt. Mains has the bridge en the 4th concession of Hullett, about completed and is keeping up his high reputation by making a good job of it. In the Dominion House of Commons on Friday the vote for $446,500 for the annual militia drill for the present year was passed through its final stages. Li Hung Chang, who is journeying to the Pacific coast, has telegraphed to Col. Grasett, of Toronto, asking for the names of the policemen who carried his chair at the Exhibition. The bodies of a woman, Mrs. Dutch- er, and her son have been found in the rums of a building destroyed by fire at &eadowbrook, a settlement twelve miles from Moncton, N. 13. It is sup- posed that a double murder took place, Robt. Kittell, an English laborer, living in the township of Hillier, was drowned Saturday afternoon in -the West Lake, near the village of Wel- lington, by the upsetting of a boat in which he was duck hunting. M. Kildischewski, a Russian electri- cian, claims to have discovered an im- provement on the telephone, by the use of which distance has no effect c,n hearing. He intends experimenting on the Atlantic cables between London and New York. Arthur Prentiss was last week found guilty of the murder of Thomas Ling- ard in the township of Hope on the tenth of June, and was sentenced to be hanged on December 17th. The jury brought in a recommendation to mercy. The Thirteenth Battalion team, of Hamilton, Wednesday won the Walk- er match at the Dominion Rifle As- sociation meeting in Ottawa, with an average of 94 out of a possible 105, which has never before been equalled in an open match in Canada. Millie Flannigan, of Portsmouth, Ohio, a child of five years, :deliberate- ly attempted to commit suicide on Thursday by swallowing carbolic acid because she thought her father was was going to take her from her mother from whoin he had obtained a divorce. Friday was bhe last day of the Great Toronto Industrial Fair, and the atten- dance was away above the average for the closing day. The Exhibition man- agement can congratulate themselves on the successful conclusion of the largest attended annual show that has so far been held under their auspices. The buildings on the farm of Mrs. Mills, Huron Road, Hullett, were last week burned along with a quantity of grain, sleighs, &c, The premises were occupied by E. Jones. It is supposed the conflagration was cansed by tramps, as there was no lightning at the time. Saturday afternoon in Toronto, a man named Abraham Roberts was seized with what he supposed to he cramps, and securing a prescription from a physician, had it made up at a drug store. He took a dose of the med- icine, hut became rapidly worse, and died Sunday evening. A visit from Hon. Joseph Chamber- lain would be appreciated by the Can- adian people at this particular junc- ture, when grave differences upon a constitutional question have arisen be- tween the Governor-General and his late advisers. It will be a pity if he should return to London without pay- ing a visit to Ottawa, as it appears to be his intention to do. A chunk of gold from the Cariboo Hydraulic mine, situated 195 miles north of Ashcroft station, on the Can- adian Pacific Railway arrived in Tor- onto Thursday morning, and is now in the Bank of Montreal. It is in the form of a.cone, weighs 895 lbs., and is valued at $81,822. This gold is the re- sult of the first clean up of the mine this season. The mine is owned by a few gentlemen residing in Toronto and Montreal, most of them connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway. A meeting of the ratepayers of the township of Turnberry was held in Holmes School House on Saturday to take into consideration the granting of the right of way to the Huron and On- tario Electric Railway. Reeve Mc- Phereon was appointed chairman and after stating the object of the meeting he introduced J. G. Murdoch of Luck - now, one of the directors of the Com- pany. Mr. Murdoch stated that some time ago Mr. Pew had called meetings in seine of the towns and villages of the -proposed railway and had obtain- ed the necessary money to obtain a charter from Parliament to construct a railway from Port Perry to Goderich and now they were trying to secure the right of way from the different municipalities through which it would pass, out of 42 municipalities they had already secured the consent of between 30 and 40. An engineer has surveyed the road and had report- ed that considerable improvements had to be made to the road bed and nearly all the bridges had to be either strengthened or made wider which ex- Pense had to be borne by the company. The ticket 'rate as agreed upon was 8 miles for 5c. One could get a 1000 mile ticket for $10, the cars stopping to accommodate passengers wherever necessary. Although the charter does not call for the road to Wingham the directors had decided to come from Walkerton to Goderieh by Wingham. On a vote being taken a majority was in faVor of granting the company their( request. Constable Oruickshanks, of the North-West Mounted Police, stationed at Duck Lake, shot and killed himself there on Wednesday. 0Q l .00000�!+ !!d ` 0�EI !il,*t 0000 iM GD 0, 000000 b era practical lin clluniete with a fully egoped Hen* t ladpT - Wo repair and clean (PINS and SEWING MA:(„11 IBS of all . liud, matt* and styles; if any of the parts are broken or wore out we can snake new.

"FARMING"For Septe m ber-(publish- ed by The Bryant Press, Toronto) is a magnificent number. It opens out with a full and readable description of what is being done for agriculture in Ontario by means of governmental enterprise and voluntary association, giving an account of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, and of its work, and of many of the associations and societies that have been formed to advance agriculture in Ontario, such as the different live stock associations, the different dairy associations, the farmers' institutes, etc. This acti- cle is illustrated by nearly sixty portraits and views. Other lead- ing articles take up the Silo, the Heavy Horse Trade, The En- riching of Impoverished Soils, How to. Make Money out of Poultry Draining Roads, etc., many of them illustrated. The programme for the year includes a number of articles on the Dairy In- dustry, the Sheep Industry, the Beef Industry, the Pork Industry, New Methods of Tillage, Suitable Seeds for Special Soils, etc. We commend "Farming" to our farmers and stock- men, as being worth many times over the subscription price, which is only $1.00.

The animal tore his shirt and reared to tramp him while out to water, but Mr. Beattles miraculously escaped serious injury. The horse was used at a threshing and accidentally secured its liber( while being watered. A BITTER MISTAKE.—A local fruit tree agent stopped over night at a far- mer's and, assisted by a dog, managed to secure what he supposed to be a coon. Ere the animal was dead he in his excitement caught it .by the tail, wbich was all that could be seen of it, and drew It as though from a prize lottery. To his surprise he drew a splendid substitute for sable. We again give the old advice, "Do not grasp too much, or you may lose all.” iBIRTHS.
