has occupied the seat for that riding,
Meanwhile W. A. Preston, the ('on-
servative eaiidirlatc, who was declared
. defeated by 15 votes, pursued his stte
eessfut antagonist through the courts.
Early this month Judges Anglin and
Teetzel declared that Preston altould
have been returned as member, and
that his majority was 15. Now, Psasass,.....eseaseasessesseasseasass
les -
tori piers prepared to step with joy into
his seat, when Kennedy made a de-
o.a
t of 100 with moi i z the Re 't't "ir o
IP a L,
f
g
1 the Court of Appeal, and gave notice
e - that he would appeal front the judg-
e went of Judges Teetzel and Anglin.As a result Kennedy is declared out,
and Preston is not allowed legally to
take his scat. The ruling of Port Ar-
thur and Rainy River is disfranchised.
It is thought that, Kennedy has no
intention of pushing the case further,
but has appealed merely to keep his
opponent out of the Legislature. It
is said that the scrutiny cost about
$15,000.
—The contract for construction o
the four Provincial Normal School
aL
t North Bay, Haianilton, Straetfozd
and Peterboro', has been let by th
Ontario Government, the total cos
being $212,100,

—One would think that the two
hundredth anniversary of the "Parlia-
mentary Union of Scotland and Eng-
land,” which was effected in 1707,
would, cause some sort of commotion
in the old land. But although this is
the anniversary year no notice seems
to be taken of the event.

--The Kansas City Titres truthfully
remarks—The time bas passed when
the man who befuddles his brains
with liquor, and neglects his work for
conviviality, can hope to retain em-
ployment in the service of any impor-
tant business concern, or attain a posi-
tion of public trust and usefulness.

—The Indians of Canada, though
known as a dying race, increased in
number, 1,757, or nearly two per cent.,
during 1906. The excess of births over
deaths is only 182, which would seem
to indicate that Indians are being dis-
covered in considerable numbers as
our civilization spreads toward the far
north.
•„
—The sudden death of Hon, A. G.
Blair, removes from the public arena
a man prominent for many years in
the political arena. He died on Fri-
day Iast, while chatting with a friend.
Heart failure was the cause. He was
formerly a, member /of the Laurier
Cabinet, and for many years previous,
Premier of New Brunswick,
• w
Mr. Geo. P. Graham, M. L. A. for
Brockville, has been unaniniously
chosen leader of the Liberals in the
Ontario Legislature. He is a man of _
considerable ability, and a good plat- -
form speaker, His followers in the
House are few at present, but. under
Mr. Graham's leadership they should
be able to do effective work in the
way of criticism of proposed legisla-
tions.
* 4'
—Complete returns on the local op-
tion vote are now in, and the results
are summed up as follows :—Munici-
palities defeating repeal, 71 munici-
palities repealing by-Iaw, 1; munici-
palities carrying local option by vote
of three-fifths or over, 41 ; munici-
palities polling between 50 per cent.
and 60 per cent. for by-law, 46 ; total
places carrying local option, 48; total
places giving majority for, 94; muni-
cipalities giving majority against, 13 ;
total places defeating local option, 14 ;
total number of contests, 108.
—Now there is talk of a short ses-
sion of the Dominion Parliament, and
it is said the present session may end
before May 1st. Why not? The act-
ual business of this country of six
millions of inhabitants is not so com-
plicated that it may not he done in a
session from December to May. If
the unnecessary wind could be shut
off, the actual business of the country
could he speedily transacted, and the
country a gainer thereby. Both sides
of the House are said to favor a short
session, the condition being that there
shall be another session before an ap-
peal to the country.

—The Advance notices by the Ot-
tawa Citizen, that the recent meeting
of the Ottawa Conservative Club was
addressed by Richard Blain, M. P.,
Dr. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron,
and others. The Citizen says :—
"De. Chisholm of East Huron was
given a hearty reception. He said
that while the mines and timber
limits of the West were being held by
government favorites, the people were
freezing to death in that country.
He referred to the Laurier tower
tumbling down, built of poor material
under the very eyea of the members of
parliament. He spoke of the extrava-
gance of the government, and giving
rake -offs to favorites. He compared
the great difference between the way
the coal tnines of British Columbia,
and the
gold mines of
the "Yukon,
which were given to favorites, are be-
ing run, to the way the Cobalt mines
are being run to the benefit of the pro-
vince." Dr. Chisholm remarked—"If
the Yukon had been managed by
Premier Whitney he would have
paid off the national debt,"
*
—The Senate hasappointed a spe-
cial eonarnittee to investigate into the
resources of the undeveloped portion
of Canada, including Labrador, Un-
gava and MacKenzie districts. Wit-
nesses Who explored these regions will
be called to testify, Hon, G. W. floss,
in speaking, said that the reports re-
eeived had been a surprise to every-
one. It had shown unsuspected re-
eonrces of minerals, timber and agri-
cultural stretches, It hard reported
on the great agricultural area in the
north known as the clay belt, which
comprised about sixteen miilion acres.
One result of the exploration and re-
port was the construction by the gov-
ernment of the Temiskaming and
Northern Ontario Railway. The ex-
ploration had cost $75,000, and one of
the direct results from it was a profit
of
malic
1 o and a quarter dollars.
There was an offer to the province of
from fifteen to twenty million dollars
fora very small area of lands opened
aatt a result of the exploration.
THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
The Ontario Legislature opened ee
Thursday Last, with the usual formali-
ties. The Speech from the Throne,
while not so comprehensive as last
session, nevertheless contained indica-
tions of useful legislation. The Speech
refers to the following :--
Gratitude
-
Gratitude to Almighty God for a
bountiful harvest.
The increase of the annual payment
by the Dominion to the province of
$800,000 yearly.

boundaries northward.
Further efforts to secure a suitable
class of immigrants.
The creation of a new judicial dis-
trict itt Northern Ontario.
The work of the Railway and Muni-
cipal Board,
The floating of the Temiskaming
railway loan of $3,000,000 in Canada.
The extension of the Temiskaming
railway to the junction with the
Grand Trunk Pacific.
The taxation of mining companies.
Amendments to the School Law of
last session.
The question of cheaper text books
for schools.
The competition of prison labor
with other labor.
The large increase in the revenues
of the province.
Etc., etc., etc.
EAST HURON TEACHERS.
- From the report of Mr. Robb, In-
spectoe of Schools for East Huron, the
Advance selects a few paragraphs of
interest to our readers :—
The average rate of school taxation
in the rural part of this Inspectorate
for 1906, was 1a tnills for General Rate
and g mill for Special School Section
Rate, or 21 mills in all. The average
of school taxation for urban schools
was 6., !Hills.
Of the one hundred and- twenty-five
teachers in the Inspectorate at the
end of the year, seven held first-class
certificates, sixty-two held seconds,
and fifty-six thirds. Of the eighty-
eight teachers in the rural schools;
thirty-five held seconds and fifty-three
thirds ; and of the thirty-seven teach-
ers in the urban schools, seven held
firsts, twenty-seven seconds, and but
three thirds.
Twenty of the rural school teachers
have one year's experience or less, and
thirty-eight were but one year or less
in the same school. Thirty-two of
those teaching in the rural schools are
"legal infants," being under twenty-
one years of age. There are but two
such "infants" teaching in the urban
schools. At midsummer there were
twenty-five changes of teachers, and
seventeen changes in December, or
forty-two in all.
In the rural schools there are twen-
ty-seven male teachers, and sixty-one
females. In urban schools, six male
teachers and thirty-one females. These
figures are the sante as last year.
Sixteen years ago there were but
two female teachers (assistants) in
Howick out of nineteen, now there
are but three male teachers in this
township.
There are many excellent teachers
is this Inspectorate, none better any-
where ; for in teaching as in other
professions, experience tells. Tucker -
smith is the banner township in this
Inspectorate, having none but Normal
trained teachers of experience, and all
doing excellent work. Indeed, the
work done by the teachers in the In-
spectorate is very satisfactory, con-
sidering the limited experience of
many.
Three hundred and forty candidates
wrote of on the Entrance examination
at the various centres in East Huron.
Of these, two hundred and sixty-six
passed. This is 78 per cent, of those
that wrote. The average age of the
successful candidates was thirteen and
a,half years.

The heavy rain storm of last Satur-
day came very nearly resulting its
serious damage to W. R. Thompson
es Co's dawn on the Teeswatter river.
The most serious damage was done to
the north of the gates where a strop
current strtrrk the embankment and
washed it out to the extent of 8 or 10
feet tinder the road.
Another fancy Cid toss farm changed
hands last week. Geo. Pringle sold
his farm on the 13t1i eon. to Mr. Will.
11, 1-.lowe for $7,000. The farm, be-
sides being a gond piece of land, has
on it a good brick house and one of
the largest barns it the township.
Mr, Pringle has been living in'1'oronto
for a ntwtber of years, and the farm
has been rented to James. Disk.
Judge Barrett has set Thursday,
Jan, 31st, as the clay an which recount
and scrutiny of the 'Teeswater local
option by-law ballots will he made.
The recount wilt take place at the
Town Hall, Teeswater, It will, how-
ever, be conducted privately, none be-
ing admitted but the town clerk, the
poll clerk, and two men to represent
those who asked for the re-count. •
The case of Joseph Schuett, who lest
week was sent up for trial by Magis-
trate McLean on a charge of -perjury,
came before Judge Barret on Tuesday.
Schnett was charged with swearing
falsely at the municipal election here
that he owned property in the village.
He was acquitted, the Jude saying
that he could not possibly give a con-
viction, although the crown had prov-
ed that the accused did not own a par-
ticular piece of property (one that he
had reeently sold), it failed to prove
that he did not own any property in
the corporation,
Culross Council has fixed the sala-
ries of the paid officers as follows :—
Clerk, $125 ; Treasurer, $85; Assessor,
$60; Collector, 800. To these posi-
tions the officers of 1906 were reap-
pointed:—Chas. Button, Clerk; John
Clark, Treasurer ; Jesse Johnston, As-
sessor ; Alfred Caslick, Collector. J.
J. Stephens, Esq., was appointed legal
advisor for the year. The application
of A. D. McKenzie for the township
printing at $65 was accepted. Robt.
Wicks was re -appointed member of
the Board of Health and Dr. M. H.
Gillies was appointed Medical Health
officer.
A Hard Case Over -come.
No Ionger necessary to suffer from
muscular rheumatism. Every case
can be cured. Ferrozone is unfailing
as proved by David Johnston, of Or-
mond, Ont. "My wife was a dreadful
sufferer" he writes : "For two years
she could scarcely do any work. Her
knuckles and joints swelled, causing
torture. To get up or down stairs
was impossible. She took box after
box of Ferrozone and rubbed the sore
places with Nerviline. Improvement
started and she mended fast, To -day
she is quite cured and we thank Fer-
rozone for her recovery." No remedy
more popular with doctors than Fer-
rozone; it does cure, 50c per box at all
