HoN, William Mulock, Postmaster General, arrived home Monday and was met at the railway station by representatives of the United Empire League and other admirers, who ten- dered him a banquet in recognition of bis services in securing a reduc- tion in the postal rate between Can- ada and the Mother Country. Mr. Mulock says the loss of revenue to •Canada will be less than $50,000, slaking no allowance for loss of busi mess, and in view of the savings in other directions which have been effected, this small amount will not be missed. He spoke enthusiastical- ly of the good feeling in great Brit Ain with regard to Canada and the 'Canadians. HURON COUNTY W. C. T. U. CON- MAB,I .ET REPORTS. wsno1IAnt.

Dressed hogs A brief speech by Mr. J, Wilson, and Mrs. Thornley held the audience spell bound, while she cleverly told of the bondage of strong drink and asserted that many a drunkard would vote for prohibition and to her knowledge there were those who were strruggiing against an inherit- ed appetite and were working earn- estly for the plebiscite in committee meetings and otherwise. Then why have we not prohibition ? why is not the great bulk of christians with us ? —Several reasons were given among other. Too many like a little thein- selves—The Monetary hindrance— The party hindrance, There were such slaves to party that no matter what the candidate was he must be sustained if he was on the right side in politics. Unfortunately Judge Doyle was out of town on urgent business or the audience would have been treated to a good straight tem- perance speech, Rev. J. A, Ander- son was the next speaker and called the attention of the audience to the fact that the Liquor Traffic had I caused more crime, more desolated homes, more broken hearted wives, and poverty-stricken children than any other evil in existence ; audi- ence sang hymn.

U A lively discusssion took place among the dela; ates for and against, one lady thought it time enot5gh to admit them, when men extended equal saffratie to women.

Possibly no better evidence ot the abundant harvest just reaped by the farmers, especially in the fine belt of country contiguous to Wingham is to ne found than in the fact that the cotn- modions barns everywhere abounding . are not equal to the task of accom- modating the itrop. During the past 1 week threshing has been the order of i the day, and machines are nutneruus, At present and up to about the tenth of Sept., we will offer all our stock at reduced prices in order to save expense of moving. no fewer than half a dozen operating within a radius of as anany miles, yet it seems impossible in many cases to secure room and the result is seen in a, number of overflow stacks which ornament the front of the outbuild- ings, In some few cases the excess is so great that a straw stack in the 1 rear of the barn fails to afford the desired relief. The yield is very sat-' isfactory. Roots, with the exception of potatoes, are also doing well. The apple crop is excellent and pears have seldom made a better showing. I The apple evaporating industry now being inaugurated in Wingharn will have ample scope and should do well. , The harvest is practically over, and at.d trade will Poon assume a livelier Itrend.
