CLINTON, FRIDAY, ,T'AN, 28T11", 11881.
MR, KE$Lt,t, the member for East
Northumberland, died very suddenly
of heart disease at the Russel House,,
Ottawa, on Friday last. , In politica
he was Couservative, but was very
much respected by both sides of the
House.
Among the names of the new Syndi,
ate we notice those of Messrs. H.
H. Cook and Major John Walker. If
we mistake not, these gentlemen were
among the number, who not long ago
predicted that the Government would
not be able to get any, company to take.
the Pacific Railway in hand. Times
Lave changed. i
The amountof ow which has fall-
en during the past winter has been
unusually large. All along the. line
of the Grand Trunk Railway, reports
come to the effect that the roads are
being continually blocked, and even in
Toronto, where the snow, is generally
very scarce, they have had more snow
than for many years.
On Wednesday morning a vote was
taken on Mr. Blake's famous amend-
ment with the following result
Yeas, 54; nays, 140. A motion .was
carried to read resolution a second tilde
on the same division. We are of the
opinion that some of Mr. Blake's sup-
porters are not always to' be depended
an. Of course they have their reasons.
What about all the petitions against
the Pacific Railway contract nowt It
is very evident that the. signatore of
every Tom, Dick and Harry does not
have much weight with Parliament
How do the people who were doing' co
much crowing for the past ten days feel
over the division - o• Mr. Blake's
amendment 9 Remember, .it was well
-understood that Vi most of Mr. Blake's
followers were in their proper places
at the time.
Coderia.
The anniversary services of the North
street Methbdiat Sunday sebool was
held last Monday evening, Rev. Dr.
Williams occupied the chair, and ad-
dresses were given to the children by
Mr. Geo. Acheson, Mr, Mitchell of the
Star, and 1%1r. McGillicudy of the Sig-
nal. Excellent music was rendered by
the children.
A one hour go-as-you-pletae race
will take place on the ice at the skat-
ing rink on Friday evening, Jan. 28.
A silver cup will be given as a prize.
Westfield.
It is our painful duty to record the
severe illness of Mr John Mitchell,
who is suffering from conjestion of the
lungs, aceompanied with an affectation
of the brain; but under the able treat
ment of Dr. Sloan we hope to see him
around egaii..
Special meetings have commenced .in.
the Canada Methodist church here,
under the able ;supervision • of RPirs.
Birks and Harrison.
The Sabbath School in connection
with the Methodist church, Donybrook,
' was re opened .last 's4►hbath, with. Mr.
J. Jeffersea as , superintendent.
Geo. Hannaford and family leave
for their nett Home in Muskoka on
Tnesday next. " May they prosper" is
the wish of many.
Tan "Ricoan" is very popular in
this village and on Saturdays our post
mister has a great amount of extra
labor in delivering to the waiting crowd
the numerous copied, which come to
this office.
The Bid,lulph murder trial opened.
in the Court hense, . London, ea Mon-
day before their Lordships Jus e
Cameron, and Osler. The room •.was
crowded to excess with Jurors, and the
friends of the Donnely's and of the
prisoners. Messrs. Irving and Magee
appeared for the Crown, and Messrs.
McMahon, Meredith, and J. J. Blake
for the, prisoners. Of the Jury sel.
acted, only one is a Biddu.lpher. -The
trial is still going on, and up to the
time of going to press, considerable
evidence aas been elicited.
HoN. WM. MCDOUOALL has been the
latest victim of slander from some of
the Opposition papers. While he con-
tinued to express himself as opposed to
certain clauses of the agreementwith
the Syndicate, he was courted with all
sorts of favors—and in fact was almost
worshipped—but as moon as those were
fully- explained and he declared him-
self a strong supporter of the bargain,
the Oppohition press heaped upon him
the heaviest tirades of abuse. The hon.
gentleman is not looked upon as
brilliantly by the Gritparty as he was
two weeks ago.
