To be held on Sept. 12th At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the West Huron Liberal Association, on Wednesday, it was decided to hold a con- vention for the nomination of a candidate at Dungannon, on Monday, Sept, 12, at 1 p.m. This date was chosen as the one most suitable for all parties, and the expecta- tion is that there will be a full representa• lion from every polling sub -division in the riding. The-Bye=Elections. It is understood that the Government }las decided not to hold any Dominion bye - elections until the fall. They will all take plane on the same day and under the new Iia ts. Hon. G. VV. Ross thinks the Senate might serve some useful purpose if it was reformed. So might a pole•cat.— but neither serve any useful purpose. The. Toronto Star thinks the Govern- ment made a mistake when it pat corn on the free list. The stock feeders and breeders don't t hink a mistake was made, for they have been able to feed their cattle to much better advantage than they otherwise could. Free cot has been a decided boon to farmers, and they know it. If Dominion Government officials in '—the Yukon are speculating in mining claims,- they should at once be dismiss- ed from the service or notified t hat they must cease doing 60. It is a cte- .Cidedly improper thing to do, and t here `°:)fsould he no hesitation on the part of i`the Government putting an immediate '',stop to it. The township councillors of Osgoode Iia'e passed a by-law saying that hi- yeles shall not be allowed to run in that township because they frighten torses. For the same reason they Might say that a locomotive shall not =run within the same limits, or a score ;of other things. It is exceedingly ',diiiibtful if such a by-law is legal, and +,h, attempt to enforce it, will be con- s d. • ehurch chimes. _' Barron Presbytery will meet atGode- ich on Tuesday next. iMr Pocock will supply in the Baptist ih'tiich Sunday root nin .

The Woman's Missionary Auxiliary, of the Ontario St. Church, were enter- ' tained at the Name of Mrs T. Shipley, on June 10. After a very interesting prograin,prepared by the hostess, seve- ral new members joined the society, and then all repaired to the dining room, which was beautifully decorat- ed with flowers and evergreens. Tea was served and much appreciated by the ladies. They returned to their homes feeling thankful for the kind sympathy they had received in their work. The Petrolia Advertiser of last week thus alludes to a former Clintonian:— "A very large number of the Methodist congregation here met at the church last Monday night to bid farewell to their departing minister, and express their good will towards hinr and Mrs Smyth. The ladies of the church pre- sented Mrs Smyth with a handsome clock, and the sterner sex presented Mr Smyth with a well filled purse and address." Mr Smyth assumed the pas- torate of Welland Avenue church, St. Catharines, on Sunday, and the writer had the pleasure of listeningto two ex- cellent set mons he gave. Mr Evans, student of the Wesley College, Montreal, who is appointed to advocate tilt forward movement for missions in the Goderich District, op- ened his campaign in Rattenbury St. Epworth League on Monday evening, July 4th. He is a pleasing speaker, and explained fully the object of the canvass throughout Canada, impress- ing the fact that the givings of the young people along this line must he a "forward movement," not withdraw- ing their support from the General Missionary Fund, but advancing two cents a week in their offerings. In the hope that the Epworth Leaguers of Canada will, in 1000, be represented by 100 missionaries in foreign fields, the Rattenhur y Sr. Leaguers pledged them- selves to give 550 toward the support of a tnissiuuar y by the Goderich Dis- trict. We would urge all League member's and workers to attend the meetings Mr }';vans will hold in their Societ leo, and be prepared to pledge a certain atnouut—the best you can do — that at the close of his canvass he may carry back to the General Board the message that "Goderich District will support a missionary."

Suspicions of foul play had steadily grown until Thursday last, when the father of the girl, at the instig- nation of Reeve Urquhart, dug, under an old outhouse rat oaee in search oftho body, e r PP o - ed by some to have been buried there, The several hours' labor, however, returned no reward. The circumstances surrounding the affair are peculiar, to say the least. The girl, when quite young, was adopted by ani aged couple living somewhere in Michigan. Some time ago the foster -par- ents died and bequeathed to the girl a good- ly sum of money, which was invested in her behalf until she became 21 years of age, in the meantime the interest accruing being applied to clothe and educate her. The girl was brought home by ber father, and one night, five weeks ago, while a stc.rm raged wildly, elle disappeared, and has not since been seen or heard of. bte'eral regis- tered letters bearing ber address lie in the postoffico at Exeter, and, according to her request, cannot bo given to any other per- son, Mise Cook has since been located in London by an officer. Her reason for dis• appearing was that she did'nt like Honeall. The French Liner, La Bouragogne, through a collision, is sent to the bot- tom, and five hundred lives lost. The aedrden occurred' of Sable Nand, and the oat went down in ten minutess. Town Council Regular meeting of the Council was held on Monday night. The Clerk stated that he had a letter from the Toronto General Trusts Co., w bo hold several of the town debentures, asking if the Council would pay the interes on oue of the debentures which had been lost, provided they gave a bond to secure the town against any posse bility of having to pay it over again. On motion of Councillors Doherty and Taylor it was decided that the interest be paid. THE STAVELY HALL A largely signed petition was pre- sented, asking for the removal of the Stavely Hall to the vacant property opposite the Rattenbury House (pro- vided it could be purchased at a rea- sonable figure.) The Mayor said that the by-law governing Council proceed- ings required all petitions to go at once to a suitable committee, but he would give the Council the opportun- ity of dealing with the petition if de- sired. Councillors Taylor and Doher- ty moved that the matter beir•eferred to the Stavely Committee to deal with it. Councillors Plummer and Jones moved that the matter be fyled. Taylor's motionlwas defeated on the following vote:— Yea— Kennedy, Doherty, Tay- lor; Nay — Plummer, Ford, Wiltse, McKenzie, Jones. The motion of Mr Plummer was then carried.
