SEISIRISY Home, the returning ofeoer for North Perth, has issued hie proolaut• &Won, announoiug Friday 16th as Pomin- Delon day and the 23rd as polling day. Nexe Tuesday evening Sir Riohard J. tetrtwright will address a public meeting in the Agricultural Hall, Wroxeter, meeting to commence at 7:30 o'clock. An euergetie local Committee have the preliminary arrangements in hand and they are preparing for a big crowd to hear Sir Richard dismiss the Trade ques• tions of the day. Many who have heard him iu the past will be glad to again have an oppontunity of listening to him. How is it that every Grand Jury meet- ing at the county town present strong pleas for a House of Refuge in Huron County, yet when members of the County Council attempt to even ask for privi- leges to secure to necessary information to thoroughly understand the matter a fell stop is put 'to the proceeding by a stubborn vote. We hope this very im- portant question will be kep. before the people and that the oppoeitioniets will at least have the fairness to allow the facts and figures to be placed before the in- telligent, charitably disposed electorate. THE Pose congratulates M. Y. McLean, of the Huron Expositor, on his election to the position of Reeve in the town of Seaforth. Mae. will make s. careful legislator at the Council Board and will not take a "bath seat" at the county par- liament. H. G. Hearin, of the Seaforth Sun, was also elected to the town coun- cil. Editor Bryan, afthe Luoknow Sen- tinel, was saved the bother of an election by having 'the iubcdf placed in his hands for 1.69e "hy AttelarneAion. The news- paper men b'eve as good a right to innni. honors at anybody else, if they de- sire them. Ws are pietteedif; noticethat the cash system of doing business is slowly win- ning ite way in Brussels. Every busi- ness man believes in it and rants and rears abeut the folly and toes of the cre- dit plan of working, yet we appear to emit alters to do the experimenting as to the Teal benefit of "Pay as yon go." Whet will a man who does a ;ash busi- ness be etwved ? Loss of goods, money, tim^, werrry and bad Viands. Surely if there were no other reasons these shou'd seam, Business men can sell cheaper, if doing a each trade and eensequently it will be a saving to the customers of a good many dollars in a year. WE urge, as we have done before, the necessity of an iuquest being held over Sunday evening's fire so as to arrive at the tads of the mese as far as possible. We are aware that some "big heads" pooh.pooh the idea but if witnesses were examined, evidence taken, and twelve ins o permitted to bring in a ver• diet, some satisfactory resale would be arrived at, we have no doubt. The re. peeked fires in Brussels do not tend to elevate us before the eyes of the world, more especially when no proper steps are taken to ascertain the cause of the des- trnetion of valuable property. The in- surance companies have their eyes open and are taking stock of this and other uot to our ad- Meitland Whitely, a native of Gode. rich, mid A graduate of the Oetarlo Col. lege of Phermaey, has located in Ching°.

The Sea. forth Sun stated that James Lannon, of MoKillep, has been on the farm upon wbich Ile was born for 53 years. Hp at this end of the vineyard we have a man who has been 61 years continuously an m on the ane farin the person of Alex. Taylor, of the Huron Road, Goderioh township, and we verily believe he heads the procession for length of years on the old homeeteed.—FInron Signal. J. B. Williams writes the Gorrie Vidette as fellows :—"As there are a few people in this vicinity who would like to know bow I succeeded with the new var- iety of potatoes whith I brought from New Orleans two years ago, I woeld abate that I brought with me 10 oz. ot seed, from which I raised teat year 25 lbs. of firet•class potatoes, out of which I plant. ed. this year, 1890, 17 lbs., from which I raised over 10 bushels, by measurement, off a piece of ground one rod wide by three rads long.
