A wonderful improvement is already noticeable in the grounds surrounding the Methodist church, Tho shed is completed, except painting. The grounds have been levelled, granolithic side walks built on each side of the church, and a convenient kitchen is being erected to the parsonage. When the improvements are completed, there will be few, if any, finer church pro- perties in the county, Electric Railway. It looks as though the project for an electric railway in this county was as- suming definite form. At a recent meeting of Ashfield Council, it was re- solved—That this council subunit a by- law to the ratepayers of Ashfield in favor of the Huron, Bruce and Grey Electric Railway for the sum of $50,- 000, particulars to be arranged by a committee comprising Reeve Dalton and Clerk Stothers in conjunction with the township solicitor. 100 hags of Goose wheat for seed, for sale at T.

The following may prove useful to our readers:—A liniment that is simple to make, but is very efficacious in re- sults, is composed of kerosene, cam- phor gutty and sweet oil. Put a pint of kerosene into a quart bottle, add as much camphor gum as will dissolve, adding a little more camphor gum day by day for three days; then add a half a pint of sweet oil, shake thoroughly, cork well and put in a safe place for future use. For burns, cuts, bruises, stiff neck or joints, sore throats, bun- ions and a few other ills to which flesh is heir, relief is said to be almost magical when this liaitnent is applied. Explosion. Mr. and Mrs. Sperling are in receipt of a letter from their daughter Mrs. (Dr,) Sperling, Wyoming. In it is given 8. report of the acetylene gas ex- plosion that wrecked part of the hotel, in which Dr, and Mrs, Sperling have rooms, The explosion occurred at 5 o'clock ; one hour later and the dining room would have been full, and the loss of life great. Four servant girls were injured, and one of them bas since died. The hotel took fire from the explosion, but an efficient fire brigade soon quenched the flanges. Dr. Sparring was at hand and looked after the wounded, Fortunately, Dr. Sparling's rooms were at the other end of the block, and the occupants only felt a severe shock. The proprietor of the hotel wants no more acetylene gas on his premises. Mrs, (Dr.) Sparl- ing's friends in Wingham will be pleased to hear she escaped so for- tunately. Sewage System. A By-law to provide for a sewerage system for Listowel was recently car- ried by the ratepayers of that town. As such a system is needed in Wing - ham, our readers will be interested in information on the matter. The fol• lowing is gleaned from the Listowel Standard ;—At present the sewage empties into the river, and when there is plenty of water it is not so ohjec- tionable, but in hot weather there is not water to carry it away. The fac- tories, hotels, tannery, etc., are using the river, discharging at forty or fifty different places, instead of all at one place, as was proposed in the septic tank system now under consideration. The system comprises a trunk sewer running from the vicinity of the brewery along the side of the river to .the poit t near -the o. T. R. bridge, rehsre : the disposal tanks would. ,be ,; —M,, Y. 1 eLean, of the rasafortl 'Ex- Iocated. A 12 inch pipe front there to Main street, and 10 inches above Main street, would be sufficient to carry off all sewage entering therein, it not be- ing necessary to provide for storm water. The main sewer would have a capacity of 400,000 gallons, which would be sufficient for a town twice the size of Listowel, and every residence using the system. The disposal tanks would be arranged to discharge from 12 to 21 hours, depending upon the nature of the sewage. After leaving tanks it will pass into filter beds, either of coke' or screened.gravel, the two to be used intermittently, and after being con- verted into liquid by the actlou of bac- teria would flow out at least as pure as the water in the streanr above the town, The mineral matter would fall to the bottom. Three slush tanks would be provided, one at the tannery, another at Main street, and the )third one at the brewery, The two former would be operated from the water- works, the third one having sufficient fall to be operated from the river. These tanks will hold 500 gals. each, and when filled to a certain height will discharge atltortlaticaily. Eight inch feeders will he sufficient to connect with the main sewer, these feeders of course requiring flush tanks at the upper ends, dependent upon water- works.

Tatnilton's parents, who reside in Southwold, Elgin county. Only a few are permitted to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wed- ding day. Mr, and Mrs. Hamilton Sen, have been safely piloted through life's stormy sea, to the advanced age of 75. Four sons, one daughter, other relatives and guests to the nunlber•of one hundred gathered to congratulate theirs op the anniversary day. Tho aged couple were presented with an address and $100 in gold. Short ad- dresses and music enlivened the even- ing, and many kind wishes expressed for the future welfare of the aged couple. Property Bought. Our industrious townsman, Win. Glendenning, has added another to his list of properties on Minnie street by purchasing from J. I3. Ferguson, the house and lot occupied by A, L.

NOTE AND COMMENT. —Compare the candidates and vote as conscience, properly directed, prompts you, • * * —The rascals who have made it their busiuess in recent elections to chew, thumb -mark or switch ballots run heavy risks this time. The new Attorney - General is likely to make it interesting for them. * * e —Under Mr. Whitney, Ontario will have no numbered ballot; he will con- nive at no ballot -switching, ballot burn- ing or other illegal means of depriving honest men of their sacred right—the untramelled use of their franchise. * --The Berlin Telegraph (Liberal) ad- mits that Mr. Whitney will carry the elections, but thinks the majority will be small, Thanks for the admission, brother; it is another indication of suc- cess. Don't worry about the majority. * * * —Mr, A. W. Wright, Conservative organizer, writes thus to Mr. Mitchell:— "You could take no other position consistently with your past, and I am satisfied that no Conservative. even if he doesn't fully agree with your present position, will think the less of you for taking it." * * * --Perhaps the reason Hon. G. W. and his colleagues dread defeat, is that they fear the revelations that will be made when "housecleaning" begins. But pos- sibly the evidence may follow the course of the incriminating ballots, that fur- nished fuel for the furnaces in the parlia- ment buildings. • * * —Has the Globe lost faith in its old historic war cry, "We will Whack Whitney"? Few admired the elegance of the boast, and the province has been disgraced by the methods used to do the "whacking," as the courts exposed them to view. It is time for a change to a secret ballot, and an honest count of every ballot cast. m x * —At the Conservative Convention for West Huron, no hisses were heard, when Prohibition was mentioned; neither were the wishes of temperance people completely ignored, but they were treated with respect and a candi- date with a record selected. That should be sufficient to enable any thoughtful elector to decide, Died. After a long and very painful illness, Mr, Miller J.

Holmes, M, P. who poses as a prohibi- tiouist when he is running his owe cam- paign, is now stumping West Huron for Cameron, who is not a prohibitionist. We are informed that Mr, Holmes is much opposed to the presence in the riding, of Miss Wiggins, the representa- tive of the Provincial W. 0. T. U„ and wants to know "Who is Miss Wiggins, and what right she has to talk politics in our churches"? It is reported that Mr. Holmes assured a citizen "he would just like to meet Miss Wiggins, for he could down her in argument in a few minutes." We are also informed that he has had an invitation to meet Miss Wiggins in debate on the temperance question,during this contest,the time and place to be of his own selection. Will he consent? Not likely. But when the next Dominion election comes along, Bro. Holmes will don his prohibition garb again, It is by such insincerity and hypocrisy that a good cause is throt- tled in the house of its supposed friends. There are electors in West Huron who will not forget this, when the next elec- tion occurs. positor, Libeillal candidate for South Huron, is anxious to know how what he calls the "double shufilet act" is done, He should enquire of some of those sixty Wingham Liberals who signed a petition asking their candidate to with- draw, and then turned right -about-face and are now giving hien their active, loving and sympathetic support. We haven't heard of anything that comes nearer to the thing for which Brer. Mc- Lean is asldug, Served Them Right. Says the Palmerston Spectator :— Two young men drove from here to Harriston a few days ago. On their return,the liveryman whose horse they had driven was so displeased with a whipmark on the animal's side and other signs that he considered indicat- ed ill-usage,that he levied and collected $7 damages. Go to J. E. Mulholland, Gorrie, for your next photo, He solicitt a trial and wilt please you. * * * --Throughout the riding falsehoods have been circulated to the effect that Mr. Mitchell had been making promises to the hotel -keepers in order to secure their vote. In last issne, this was given an unqualified denial. Now, the charge is shifted on to Major Bock. The latter was in town on Tuesday, and most em- phatically denies the charge. Now for the next trumped-up yarn to injure Mr, Mitchell. The plan of campaign by Mr. Mitchell's opponents seems to be --guy misrepresentation, so long as it will pre - vont temperance Liberals from giving Mr. Mitchell their support. • .1 * —As a Conservative, Mr. Mitchell is a supporter of Mr. Whitney's practical, common-sense, general policy. In the matter of temperance, he is free and in- dependent—free to act according to his principles and past record. Liberal papers in this riding regard this as a fit subject for ridicule. The more they ridicule Mr, Mitchell's independent stand on a live moral question, the greater be- comes the number of thoughtful electors who decide to support him. Keep at it my dear fellows. There is a point where ridicule of the good and the right, acts as a boomerang. Respectfully enhmitted, A. 11. ielusgrove, Principal Report was approved and adopted, AccouNTS, Alex.
