They tell a Ale story about Mr Tol- mie, said to true, whruh is worth publishing. He is a Patron, and know- ing the opposition of the Patrons to government House, &c., with its frills, a friend who met him in Ottawa during the session, was surprised to see hint arrayed in a full dress suit, and on his way to one of the state receptions. "Why, Tolmie, I thought you didn't believe in this sort of thing. What'll your Patron friends say?" "Say." replied Tolmie, with a smile, — „level-headed. they would say I was When 1 get am invitation from Lord Aberdeen to dinner, 1 am goingto take it in, and every other good thing that's going. Don't you forget it." And he went. "After all," asks the Ottawa Journal, "Why should not Sir Wilfrid beprimemin- ister of the British empire yet?" Yes; why not? One of these days the Canadian ti nation will be a very much more influential portion of the British empire than it has been in the past. .e London Advertiser mentions ;Mr J. A. Barron, Q.

The fact that some 'Of the best papers in the county were 'tjtedinto the fake, does not make it any Abe less a scheme that good advertisers lrojinw enough to let alone, and some of ffem told Mr Todd their opinion of it ;frankly. Further than this several of -the business men whose names appear ipl the alleged story, have taken the rppnble to verbally endorse the letter iwhich appeared in this paper last week, , TheNew Record's baseless effbr t to 'Waite out that the NEW ERA endorses e ; and swgitldlers ie amusing; it is ;.,,the old story of the thief cuing out fr�ittlp thief," for in this instance, as in the case of the Banner AdvertisingCo. ; so, it was the News -Record that got 'tthe benefit and personally helped for.

The in Chancery, creates a vacant office at the disposal of the Ontario Govarnment During Mr Malcowson's recent illness the duties of the office have been per- formed by Judge Doyle, who was un- der no obligations to do so, but did it purely out of , kindness. We are in- formed that Mr Garrow recommends to the government a new departure in this respect, and we presume it has the approval of the nther Local representa- tives also, which is that the office, as a separate and distinct office shall he abolished, and the duties bc, performed by the County Judges as a part of their regular work. This suggestion is, to our mind, a highly commendable one, and if adopted by the government, as we believe it will be, should entitle all concerned to favorable consideration. Mr 0 -arrow has always shown a desire to lessen the cost of law to the puplic, however natural it might seem for him to he otherwise, and the Ontario Gov- ernment, which exists by the good will of the people and in virtue of its admir- able legislation, has always seconded his .efforts.

The newspapers recently recorded the ^`death of Amos De Cosmos, of Victoria, ; C. Deceased was at one time pro- ri rietot and editor of the British Colo- '1stof that city; an M. P. P ; an M. P,; And Premier of his prbvince. He was a Nova Scotian by birth. He had his *one changed from plain John Smith ?'toAmos De Cosmos by act of the Cali - i, 4irnia Legislature. Reports state that lie made a speech lasting for forty tliours in the British Columbia Assem- iOl`v. This is a mistake. Ex -editor sliVhitely, of Clinton, was present dur- ing a portion of the debate, and states 4, ,that De Cosmos and Leonard McClure, M.P,P., editor of the Victoria Chron- %,ride and afterward of the San Francis - .00 Bulletin, in their joint efforts talked ,for nearly that length of time. Mr ;::McClure, being the most vigorous pian, did the most -talking. They were '•';; Elective members. The House was 'r -then composed of Crown -appointed ttnembers and elective ones. The i?c,;_•er predominated and some of thein Were interested in large grants of land v•,: Bold under certain conditions. These conditions had not been complied with and if an extension of time was not `given 1)y that Legislature, the land Would be thrown open to homestead. ng; The elective members opposed the extension, but not being numeric- ally the stronger, their only chance lay in talking against, bine until the Speculators' grant lapsed by the efflux - on of time. De Cosmos would. have d"ftade aigood running mate with the founder of the Nrw ERA. He was about six feet in height, as straight as tt bean pole, and had the rotundity of 'thatarticle, in close fitting garments. Changes of the weather so affected his Meal co h' demise Doherty Organs. There is no Canadian industry which has grown in volume or• improved in quality to a greater extent than that of the manufact ure of the Doherty Or- gan. They have been developed on progressive lines, resulting in advant- ages and accessories not found in other A high standard of excellence has been attained both from a musical and mechanical standpoint. This iseviden- ced by the fact that the Doherty Organs have enjoyed the distinction of receiv- ing prizes in competition with those made by leading manufacturers in other countries, and by the further fact that the Doherty Organ is to -day re- placing other instruments in foreign countries, and an extensive business has been built up in exporting the Doh- erty Organs to the musical centres of Europe. On perusal . of their hand- some news catalogue, just to hand, we find that they make almost everything in organs, from the little "single reed" to the large "two manual" Cathedral Organ, containing 10 sets of reeds, re- presenting the different tones in the pipe organ,from 2foot to 32 foot pipes. They have three varieties of two -man- ual organs; viz The Victorian, Stud- ents and Cathedral. Their single man • ual organs are made in five, six and seven -and -one third octaves. Their piccolo actions ate furnished with a 2 ft. Celeste in the base end of the or- gan, something entirely new, which is called Harp ]7oline. This is a delicate and delightful variety of the Vox Cel- este, its tones resemble 'those of the harp, zither and two violins played in unison. They are also running their heavy 10 ft. sets through, which gives great variety to the organ. Their new stops this year are: Cornet, a soft echo stop; Cremona, a soft, rich, violin qual- ity, very fine for accompaniments; Dil- ie'ttohas a smooth, mellow, soft, rich quality; the Snb Bourdon, a rich, full tone of great de rth, representing the tone of a pipe 32 foo in length;t he Vox .Tuhilante is a comhit ation stop. com- bining two 8 ft. sets, is very effective as a solo, and when used in combination with other stops it, imparts a peculiar brilliancy to all. In Cases they fairly excel all former styles, bein g late designs of architecture and up Iodate in every particutar,small raised carvings being prominent, and are all furnished with music receptacles or drawers, which are quite an acquis- ition and something new in organs. Their cases are made in both walnut and quarter sawn white oak. The new buildings are nearly com- plete, an account of which, with the $3000 or $4000 wot'.h of new machinery we will furnish later.

Mr Lofft is an old Olintonian, having learned the dry goods business with Irwin & Hodgens. He was raised on the Bayfield road at "Lotft's Corner" and is kindly remem- bered by many friends and relatives in this viciniiy.

The Co- lonial Premiers are tit ed of being feted, and are hastening their departures. The visit of the Premiers has to many Englishmen been something in the nature of a discovery of the Brit- ish colonies, particularly in the cafe of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Premier of Canada, who has been a surprising revelation of capacity. Lady Laurier has had an equal success socially as her husband has politically.

Prices from $1 up. fr Picked Up By A New Era Ram= bier PRETTY AND TASTY.—By the way, how is it that so few farmers make any effort to improve their property by shrubbery, a nice lawn, &c. The outlay for anything of this nature is very tr•ifling, beyond the labor, and the result is surely sufficient recom- pense. Take the grounds of Mr Robt. Acheson, 14th con., Goderich town• ship, as an illustration. He has a nice lawn with a number of spruce and other trees, properly set out, and we will leave it to anyone who has seen it, if it is not pretty and much nicer than a bare uncultated field, like too many farm fronts. BAD ROADwpRI.—In all directions one finds unscreened gravel dumped in a long pile along the highways. Each side of the road is cut into ruts by the rigs trying to avoid the gravel. The larger stones roll eventually down into the ditch, and the first heavy rain washes off nearly all the earth that re- mains. At Mr Acheson's garden party Friday night, several farmers warmly indorsed the stand taken by the AEW ERA concerning roadwork. "Statute labor's a fraud,” "I'm sick and tired of it," "If the work were done by one in- dividual, under contract, it would be much better'." These and similar ex- pressions were used, all emphatically conveying the idea that some changes irr'the time and method of doing the roadwork, should he introduced. Ask- ed their opinion as to the time of year when gravel should be put on, they were unanimous in saying it should be done in the fall. Look This Way. Mr C. C. Beemer of Simcoe was thrown limb and basin a out of a tree whileg fatally injured. A decided sensation was made in Ottawa civic circles Saturday by the resignation of eight aldermen. They opposed a parti- cular make of fire engine, which the rest of the council decided to purchase, and ha,e challenged the other members to resign and seek the verdict of the electors on the ques- tion.
