Conservatives won a decided victory in North Huron. Every sort of cry imaginable, and even sectarian issues were raised, in order to defeat Mr. Musgrove, but the electors of North Huron refused to listen, end elected Mr. Musgrove by a majority of 171. As soon as the result was known, the celebration began, First was the hundreds of school children, boys and girls; -with horns, tins, blaring torches, anti cheers that trade the old town ring, Later came the larger boys, with a bigger noise. In the meantime, the Town Hall was packed to the doors, A telephone had been installed, and there the Con- servatives received the returns. Mr. Musgrove was cheered loudly as he appeared and thanked the electors for their support. Miss Alba Chisholm then presented Mr. Musgrove, on be- half of a few of his former pupils, with a huge bouquet. A little later, the Citizens' Band, the Fife and Drurn Band and scores of. blazing brooms appeared. A score or more of school boys secured a carriage and when Mr, Musgrove and a few of his workers had been hustled in, the parade began, regardles of the mud caused e by the et/ ' e in n �rain. At the Queen's corner, the herheavyf the hour was obliged again to address the multitude that thronged the streets. By the late 0. P. R. train the Gorrie contingent arrived, and the celebra- tion received new life. Rockets, can- non crackers, etc., added their part. Again, the crowd in the Town Hall took on fresh enthusiasm. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Musgrove, Spotton, R. 0, Sperling of Dauphin, Man., Rev. H. E. AIlen and others. A banquet at Moore's in the early hours of the morning elicited more speeches, and Mr, Musgrove gave his sixth address for the evening. Mr. Jas. Bowman also gave an enthusias- tie address. It was 4 a, m. before the stock of fireworks was exhausted and the celeb- rants had spent their enthusiasm. The - following are the official re- turns for North Huron :— .

SANCTUM PARAORAPOS. . --A.

Break the news gently to Bro. Kerr of the Brussels Post. —The divisions near Brussels show- ed gains for Musgrove. The Post's bitterness made Musgrove votes. —Will the Brussels Post please tell us of all those Morris Conservatives that were going to vote against Mus- grove. Do tell. —"Wait till you hear from Ash- field" was the slogan, but Asbfield refused to be dictated to by the stir- rers -up o£ creed animosity. —Sortie of the pupils in the third. class of Wingham "Public School are still laughing at Archie Hislop's talk about the "County of Cardwell." —Mr. Porter in Centre Huron, where the Liberal majority should be four hundred at least, put up a good fight. His opponent's majority was 150. —The Centre Huron Liberal papers that endeavored to inflame the public mind by appeals to creed, verily have their reward. Their efforts signally failed. --Suppose your side did not win ; never mind, shake bands and make the best of it. You cannot deny, that Mr. Musgrove will make a most credit- able representative. —Quebec elections on Tuesday re- sulted in the election of 50 Liberals ; Opposition, 22; two elections to be held. In the last Legislature the Con- servatives only had 6 ; now 22. "Morris should give Mr. Currie any- where from 40 to 00 majority" said the Brussels. Post. Will the Post please note that the figures are 23. That number was significant, and foretold the doom of the Post's hopes. —A majority of 171 for Musgrove, was North Huron's answer to the Lib- eral papers who endeavored to raise the sectarian issue in this election, and cause bitterness between two sec- tions of the community, that have been living peaceably together. Dear Brussels Post—We .write to in- form you that at the election on Mon- day last, the "Musgrove bird" was not "plucked." Kindly inform Mr. Hislop that the Whitney Government did not p down to oblivion," gas a haven't time to write him. We are busy celebrating. —The prediction of Archie Hislop, that the Whitney Government would "go down to oblivion" at the recent election was not verified. Mr. Hislop does not seem to be any better at pre- dicting future events, than at specify- ing the counties of Ontario. In mak- ing speeches in future, he should steer clear of geography, and keep out of the realm of prophecy, —The Ontario elections are now past, and the result has been most de- cisive. Mr. Whitney gave the pro- vince good, clean, careful administra- tion, and the electors in return have given him an overwhelming majority of 60 in a Legislature of 106. This fa abundant evidence that the province approved of the Government's policy, and refused to be sidetracked, either by the wild cries of the Globe, or the sermonettes of A. G. McKay, Brussels Post.—" Wingham Ad- vance is tnaking itself look silly by the pretended regard it has for ex - Warden Bowman. Well, we never did care much for "looks" anyway. Looks are some- times deceiving. We have it on the authority of insane experts, that it is a failing of those who are really "silly" (and for' whom there is little or no hope,) that they are disposed to imagine that they are all right and that it is some other chap that has gone wrong in his head. This may be the cause of Mr. Kerr's statement re- garding the Advance. tiro. Kerr's political disappointments have been very trying tn deed, hut veare really sorry to see them affect,hirn as they evidently do. We still hope for his permanent recovery. —A strange thing n3 was seen in the Dominion arliament on Friday, when Liberals were engaged obstruct- ing their own estimates, but finally ten million dollars was put through, Dr, Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron, matte an excellent speech and took occasion to give the Hoose a little common sense advice. Ile said that members on both sides of the House talked too long, and talked too much. There is no factory in the land which requires its hands to go to work at 11 n clock and keep et work till three o'clock the next Xnorning. This is a factory where we "inanufecture laws, and empty windbags." He complain- ed of the unsanitary conditions attire - dent upon life at, the eapital, The - death roll of this I'arliatnent was startling, to stay the least.

Terrific Storm, The storm on Monday was disas- trous in Greenock. Near the 13144 Horse, ten barns were wrecked. One of them was a very large one, 85 feet long, belonging to Richard ICaake, who also had two cows killed by the fall of the barna, Ordained In London, Rev. J. 111.
