Quite an interest has been taken in the oase by the public and the disouseion of the subject is very muoh alive yet as to where the line between the two theories, set out at the investigation, ebould be drawn. Some affirm that Nature will work its own eure if ordinary cars is taken while others are as warm in their assertions as to the necessity of medical help and appliances. We sup. pose people will have to mettle these things for themselves bat as the oaee referred to was an unusual one and the result as unusual there has been room for comment wbioh will not be set at rest for some time to some. • Tim POST would like to see a red bot revival in all the churches along the line of the re-establishment of the old family pew. Thera oome bask many pleasing reminiaoences of it to those whose early associations with the meeting house were linked with an undivided family. There were no back seat urchins 6o be called to order in those days, nor half grown chattering young people with less sense t ban their juniors, who sometimes eon - eider themselves too big to take seats with father and mother, and there is not a great deal of: searching ons required as to the influence exerted by the mode adopted in years gone by and at the present day. How would it be if the preaohers of the Truth would occasionally give a whole sonied, practical talk upon some of these old time onetoma that carried with them mach that was of lasting good ? IT is said the bye -election in the West Riding of Hu on will take place early in December. The candidates will be Hon. J. T. Garrow and Major Joe Beek. There is a strong probability that the former will be returned as he in a member of the Cabinet, without portfolio, and a clever, brainy lawyer with wide experience in the practical working out of municipal law. Hon. Mr. Garrow'° name has been freely mentioned as one who will have early promotion to the Judge's Bench audit is hinted that be will not seek re. election in his 0onetituenoy at the Gen- eral Eleotione, thereby making way for othere,to fight for the coveted and worthy. honor of representing Wee6 Huron in the Legislature. West Huron Liberals should give Mr, Garrow an old bouncier of e, majority as a parting shot and ae a warm - op for the next campaign. ',Nita are you going to do in Eaeb Huron at the next Local Home eleabioe ? Thin ie a question not infrequently asked. Well by the way things look just now it would appear that the present worthy representative -Arch. Hislop -the Lib- eral nominee, will be unopposed and will be elected by aoolamation. This may not be realized nor would it be a wise policy for Eaet Ifnron Liberate to take it for granted, but no person appaaee to be very anxious, up to the present date, to bnakle on the harnees for the Opposition,' although there are plenty of good men in the Riding.

Mission. for Neu at Church. of Our Ludy at Guelph. The Daily Mercury of Gaelpb, of Oot. 28, gives the following report that ie worthy of serious consideration in many pointe :- A truly nnexpeoted event took place in the Church of Our Lady last night when stirred by the etoquenoe of Bev, Father O'Sane, S. J., and influenced by the resolutions gradually forming daring the week of the men's mission, nearly every man in that immense church, voluntarily rose, and with uplifted mine joined with the preacher in the promise that for one year they would not, except when ordered as medicine, drink intoxicating liquors. The whole mission has been both an intereeting and important event. It is about t boo fifteen years einoe the last of what the Catholic people oall missions was held in Guelph. Gnelphites will remem- ber the impressive midnight services on. Christmas and New Yeare, the opening of the year of jubilee, whioh commenced the special work for the: year in. Guelph. The present mission is praotioally the. close of the work. Three Jesuit fatbere from New York have been in charge. The lbret week was for the women, last week for the man, the division being necessary to a000mmodate the orowde. Every morning at 5 o'elook and at 9,tbere were masses and sermons, and every morning ab 7.80 a service oonsieting of two sermons and the beuediobion. The servicso aimed rather at the head than at the heart,, the presence of large crowds and personal eaorifioee wbioh had to be made by those who regularly attended being looked" to, to armee entbusiaem rather than fervid appeale to an emotion,. which the fathers declared being easily. roused, would equally speedily deoline after the special servioee were ended.. Sunday afternoon the infante and little tote of the parish were brought in their mothers' arms, and the oburch was filled with the nnusnal congregating, . Father O'linne apoke feelingly of the beautiful sight of a stately edifice filled wibh little pngele-ia the arms of their pions =there. The evening service was for bile closing out for the men, at !meet' Moe bandrod attending, including many whose mem. bership in the thumb has been more in name than in atteodanoe. The services were most solemn and impressive, Al- most all present had during the week oonfeseed and received oommnnion, and the sermon wae,a practical addreee on the means of atioking to the resdatim:et made. At the olose every man rose and with right hand nplilted renewed the 90ws made at baptism. Then the unex. prided happened. No suggestion of a temperance pledge had been made and no one attended for that purpose.

He asked all to help the few to whom intemperance was a curse and even moderate drinking a danger. It it was possible for his hearers to take the pledge they would strengthen their other resolutions, give a thank offering worthy of the occasion and raise their people before God and the world. He would ask them to spend a few mina les. in silent prayer and decision, and then would give the pledge for one year to those who decided to take it. The min. ales passed, andt then e whole • p b � hoe ooagre. gation of nine hundred men, with com- paratively few exceptions rose, and pledged tbemealvee to abstinence for one year.

The mission closed with that servtoe. A PROMISING REGION. Opinion of Sebring- viilc Tourists ell Teus9scamlugne Country. A Stratford Hera- ld reporter had a pleasant talk recently with 1. Kiehna, of Sebriugville,who in oompany with his brother John, of Ellioe, and M. H. Aeb, proprietor of the. Dominion Carriage Works, Sebringville, spent ten days dur- ing the past- month prospecting in the Temieoamingne dietriot of New Ontario, Mr. Biehna and his companions left Sebringville station on the morning of the 11th nit., and travelled on the G. T. R. to North Bay, going via Toronto, thence Eaet on the 0. P. R. to Mattawa on the Ottawa River, where they took a branch line running along the banks of this river ae far aa Neepawa Junction, now called Temieoamingne. Tbey then embarked on a steam boat owned by Mr. Lumsden, M. P. P. for the District of Nipiseing, whish oorried them. to New Liskeard, near the Northern extremity of Lake Temisoamingue, the run oosnpying about ten boors. After resting and securing a guide and enpplies they set out along the govern• ment roads and explored the townships of Dymond, Hudson, Kearns, Hemwood, Beaaobamp and Dack, all of whlob are composed of good agrioultoral lands and timbered quite ae heavily as was this section before the advent of the white man, the only difference being in the kind and quality of the trees. Instead of maple, beech, oak and elm, one will find in these Northern regions the oed,m, bal. cam, spruce, white birch, balm of Gilead, white wood, poplar and pine, many of them being line specimens, towering up to heights varying from 100 to 150 feet. The Boil is of blank loam, very similar t0 that Of the btask ash swamps pf this country and from three to five feat deep. SP , The land varies from rolling to flat with sufficient fall for a good ayatsm of drain• age. The party formed so high an opin- ion ofthis section that they tools up 2,500 acres for themselves_ and friends and will send up men during the Doming• Winter to perform settlers' duties required by the regulations of the Crown Lands De. parbmeot. Mr. Kiehon says the country has great agricultural capabilities and believes that it will prove well adapted for the growth of flax as well as the graine mole :oommon to this pert of Canada,. The chief want of the country he found to be faoilitiee for - reaehiog it and for conveying its products to a remunerative market A line of railroad isro' c p ]e ted from North Bay to the month of the Montreal River, a tributary of the Otta- wa. Dlr..Kiehaa thinks if this was built the oonuary would soon fill up with a. desirable olase of settlers. At pteeent it is a tiresome and costly trip and one that no weakling should undertake. During their exploring tour through the woode the party oamped out at nights and being old timers greatly enjoyed the silvan beauty of the scene. Game is plentiful, moose, bear and fox and other tracks having been seen and 'the lakes and streams are said to teem with fieb. Pheasants were so plentiful and tame that they could • be knocked from their perohee with sticks, • The party left the woods on the 20th ult, and reached their home on the following day.
