The election in the United States on Tuesday, has, from pros :But appcarances, resulted in the defeat of Cleveland, and there - lore, in the election of General Harrison.. Whether thin result -is different from what was goner_ .;ally expected in the States or not, 1 is impossible to say, but .the opin- ion prevailed throughout 'Canada that Cleveland would receive another term. The election con- test has been a most bitter one - far more so than Canadians are in the habit of experiencing, and while many issues wore involved, one of the principal factors of the t✓on'test was the Mills Tariff Re- form Bill -a measure. that when '!brat introduced' into the House of Representatives, contemplated great reductions in the present American taricf,but which was so .altered before being shelved that 'A was finally a high tariff bill. The .Democrats fought for a low- qer tariff and the Republicans for a higher ono, and the latter have :won. This is not. encouraging to those who had hoped that the days •of high protective tariffs worn ov- air, and indicates that the masses :aro as strongly wedded to protect - 'ion as ever. How the 'election will effect general Canadian interests, or whether- they will be effected at all, remains to bosecn. Tho Fish- 4sries dispute is a matter that must 'be settled, and the probilities are a settlement made by the new Presidential party will not bo' as satisfactory to Canada, as it would have been by Cleveland. No mat- ter what the settlement may bo, it is not likely that any serious 4'omplications will arise. The Iwo countries have got along without a great deal of f_•iction 3)efore, and are likely t3 do. so =again. The Toronto W !d assorts that Alon.John Carling will retire from A° ministry, after the next eos- ation, and be appointed to the Sen- ate. In other words, this means ,.hat being politically dead, he is 'o be buried. Il' the Provincial Government n Manitoba had been a Conscrve- 7.i*o one instead of a Liberal one, does any one think the Dominion 'Government would not have tomo to its assistance in securing a <a'ossing oyer the track of the C. _'R.2 .Burglars entered . the• house of Mr H. 1.

It is stated that some paper in . ;astern Ontario is asking for the :appointment of a French repre- sentative in the Ontario Cabinet, -:'!on the interests of the .French of. this Province. 3Ir Mowat is not ri•kely to pay any attention to the;•oqucst, and it would belilccidedly imprudent if -he did. People learn wisdom slowly. Men who expect ten boars' pay 1.)r nine Hours' work, and strike it' they do not get it, overlook :ertain economic 1)1 inciples that 1-ooncr it later defeat their calcu- lations.

Thecont of the barrel itself is about 20o,, leaving it 4veey small margin. The principal cause of the dullners in the business is, according to tire evidence, owing to the impartation of salt from England. There are unuually Dome 2,400,000 barrels t•misumod in 'Canada, of this affront' 02,000,- 000 barrels are ilnliurted front England.

The removal of the duty on coal would assist to soma ex- tent, but in the opinion of the witnesses, if the industry is not to be discontinued in Canada, either English salt must be shut -out of the market, or a new market opened up. The salt from this district is very pure, 98 per cant, and manufacturers are confident that with an open -American mar- ket they could more than hold their own. Tho News -Record last week al- luded to the fact that a couple of the Elliott boys, now out in. Da- kota, had done well there. This is to their credit, but will the News -Record tell us why mese same persons, and a number of others who always voted Conser- vative when hero, went to the States and took the oath of aIle• giance, instead of going into our own Northwest. And further, if it is disloyal for Canadians who remain in Canada, and thus show their allegiance to Great Britain, to desire only commercial inter- course with the States, what would it term tho action of these Conservatives who not only for- sake their own country, but swear allegiance to a foreign one. • Hon. Mr Dlowat, who gave up his legal practice when he became premier, is about to resume the same. His salary of $5,000 a year certainly would not go very far in a city like Toronto, where he would have to keep up a eels tail) appearance, and no doubt have a good untny calls on his purse. It's very inconvenient to be poor -we've been there. Around the County, 11Ir Theo.Finnen, of East Wtiwanosh, had an arm broken on Friday last by falling, Mr W. Smith, of Seaforth, purchased a 200 acre farm in the township of (-trey, for the sum of $8,000. Mr W. R. Hodgins, of the Hensell Hotel, has sold his hotel property to Mr R. A. McIntyre, of that village. • Mr T. Powell, of Turnberry, has very large potatoes, one of thein weigh. ing not less than 6.4 ounces. Can this be beaten ? . . Mr Christopher C. Dale, of Kinburn, has sold his two year old entire colt to Mr Adams, an American buyer, for something in the neighbor000d of 8400, Mr M.

He was -driving down the hill near Mr A.. McMichael's when the horse fell and broke its leg. On Thursday a very difficult and delioate surgical operation was per- formed on Mrs David Spoart, of Eg- mondville. This was the removal of a cancer from the side near the arm pit. The board of directors of the IIowick Insurance Co. met in IIowick on Sat- urday last. Thirty-two applications passed covering insurance to the amount of 84(1,150.00. The losses for the past year were light, and the insurance low Mr John Irvine, of -McKillop, h as a field of oats this year which yielded 80 bushels to the acre. Twelve years ago it was a thick black ash swamp, but this was the first sown in the spring with the above result. Mr John Thorp has rented his farm on the 2nd concession of Tnckersmith, to Mr Thomas Carter, of the Huron Road, for three years, at an annual rental of 8200.' Mr Thorp intends go- ing to Manitoba in the siring. Mr John T.Dickson, Deputy Register, of Goderich, has purchased from Mr John Hannah, of the same concession, H. R. S., 100 acres, butting his farm, for the sum of $4,875. This makes our friend John possessor of 300 acres en bloc. Col. Coleman, of Seaforth, met with a painfu)Htccident on Friday last while in Mbbntreal on business. When des- cending the stairs the gas light went out, and he missed the step and fell to the bottom, breaking his right arm and otherwise injuring himself. At a meeting of the McKillop council held on Monday last the services of Mr John O'Sullivan as clerk were die- pensed with for some irregularity, nncl Mr John C. Morrison was appoint• ed in his stead. Mr O'Sullivan has been clerk of McKillop for about a quarter of a century, Mr Donald McKay, anotbcr of Hui% on's pioneers, died at the residenQe-.of his sister, Mrs McIntosh, inIiarpurhey, on Friday last.

W. T. Hunter, one of the parties im- plicated in a rape case a few years ago, and Samuel Beattie, a livery keeper, both of Brussels, who were sent for trial on a charge of receiving stolen goods from the store of Adam Good, came before Judge Toms on Tuesday. The charge was that they had procured the goods through a young lad employed to do chores in the store, but the evi- dence failed to convict, and they were discharged. Mr Robert Govenlock, of MoKillop, near Seaforth, met with rather a ser- ious accident a short time ago from the effects of which he has been laid up since. It seems that as Mr Govenlook was engaged in picking apples he placed a ladder against the limb of a tree, and got on it to piok off the fruit. When the apples had allbeen taken from the. limb it roselup, and the ladder on which Mr GovenIook wad standing Blipped through under it. In trying to save him- self he fell backwards a distance of ten or twelve feet. The injury proved more serious than he at first thought, as some bones are broken. The other night a young farmer by the name of Bolton was returning to his home in MoKillop, after selling a load of grain in Brussels, when he was attacked by a man who climbed into the wagon. After being twice struck, he coter-ageously grappled with his.aestailant until the seat fell baokwards into the box, giving the scoundrel a chance to escape. When he arrived at Leadbury, he presented a dreadful appearance :root the injuries inflicted by the blud- geon. Unfortunately there is no clue to the would behighway robber. The Exeter Times tells this story: - The other day a clergyman visited town, and as is eustomary,put up at a friend's, who is a merchant., Before leaving for home, however, he learned of the bar. gains given by another merchant, and wag anxious to embrace the opportunity. He went to the store where the bargains were offered, but not having come to town for the purpose of making pur- chases, and being short of cash, asked the merchant to credit him. This the merchant refused to do, whereupon the purchaser approached his friend, the general merchant, and borrowed of him money with which he made extensive purchases at the store of the neighbor- ing merchant. This might be consid- ered a joke on the merchant who loaned '1ne for the urchaee of goods the m elsewhere, ut we are peure the clergy- man did it unthinkingly. . NEWS NOTES.

Toronto has become so very wicked that Police Magistrate Denison can no longer find time to try the army of prisoners that cone before him in the course of a year and at the same time find opportunity to maintain his pre- paredness for war, which he regards as an absolute necessity to his existence.

They have been.,asked to render an apology, and if they fail to do this Mr Alclwell will issue a writ for damages. Both young men stoutly protest their innocence, and the affair has created quite a 1y11zi of excitement among the friends of the interested patties. A remarkable wager is abort to be de- cided by a jury- that is, if the wagerer comes to the scratch. Mr J.

Mr Blue, secretary of the Bureau of Indeetriea, has issued the follow- ing review of the harvesting era- tione of the year, based upon the re- ports of 870 correspondents: , TUE ORA IN OROPS. The fall wheat was so thinned out by the dry and cold weather of early spring that the yield has hardly reached a good average in any part of the Province, but the ripening season was so favorable that the grain matured well in respect' of quality. It is plump and hard, and generally exceeds the standard weight. The spring crops were superior in the eouthwestern and extreme eastern part of the Province, but on the Georgian Bay, and as far east as Brockville on the St. Lawrence, the drouth of June and July had an almost disastrous effect. Spring wheat suffered least, bnt oats, ba -ley and peas were greatly stunted in their growth The rains of the bar- ves:,ing season were also bad for the spring crops, and a great deal of the barley was discolored Id the west ern counties oats, barley and peas, were heavy crops, and they were se- cured in fair condition.

CLOVER SEED. ' The winter and epring were trying on clover fields already -thinned by drouth, and the second dry summer left the crop in'a very unsatisfactory condition. The fall rains helped the growth of leaf and stock, but the midge was almost everywhere. In-. Home of the St. Lawrence counties clover is not only a failure as a seed crop, but is steadily dying out in the pastures. PASTURES ARD LIVE STOCK. Cattle will go into winter quarters in better form than was hoped for two months ago, but in view of the scarcity of hay and fodder generally many animals were parted with at a sacrifice. Sheep weresold freely dur- ing the summer,and only choice mut- ton will be kept for the winter. A great number of young hogs have al- ready changed owners- Those hand- ling pork speak favorably of the con- dition of the market during the fall. Not single case of disease was re- ported among cattle, sheep or swine. a VIE DAIRY. The drouth bas had a marks] ef- fect upon the dairying industry. The popularity of creameries and cheese factories has never been more severe- ly tested than during the present sea- son. " THE NEW CROP OF FALL WHEAT. The reports indicate for the acre- age of the new crop of fall wheat con- siderable falling off in the south- western part of the Province, and a large increase in the other sections. FALL PLOWING. Fall plowing is well advanced throughout the Province, the only notable exception being in the coun- triesof Dundas, Stormont and Glen• (sarry.
