McLean, Editor of the Huron Expositor, as the standard bearer at the forthoonling election to the Legis. lature. Mr. McLean is well known in the riding where he has resided for many years. Ile is not a bitter partisan but true to his principles and he will make a useful member in the House. The prospects of his election are prououneed good by those qualified to .judge. Arab. Bishop, the present member, declined to accept nomination, Mr. Weismiller, a Hansen merchant, is the Conservative candidate for South Huron. TEs POST would like to see something done toward seaming a new fire alarm and as we have before stated we think the $150 now in hand, as surplus from Dominion day celebrations, could not be put to any purpose in whioh the citizens would receive the benefit more generally than by applying it as pert payment on a new bell with modern fire alarm attachment. The necessary outlay this year was so heavy that the Council saw no way to spare the necessary funds from the treasury for a bell but with the $150 mentioned above this difficulty would be largely obviated. This question of fire alarm is one that very materially effects every ratepayer for on it may depend the saving or loss of many hundred dollars worth of property. Tan Court of Appeal delivered judg- ment in the case of the Queen vs. Holli- day, an appeal by the Attorney -General of Ontario from the order of the Sessions of the oonnty of Wellington, quashing a summary oonviotion of defendant by the police magistrate for the city of Guelph for violation of the Liquor Aot. The de- fendant is a brewer, having a wholesale license from the Ontario Government, and the offense was that of allowing beer to be oousumed in his brewery, which counsel for the prosecution contended is a warehouse. The defendant contended that the Provincial legislation with re - spent to wholesale licenses was ultra vires, and that he (defendant) was not bound by his wholesale license. The Attorney• General for'Oai,eea was notified of the intention to raise the bums, ',nt did not ) appear. The court held that the',vs,:_. lation was oonatitutional as to wholesale licenses, and that the stook-oellar of the defendant wee a warehouse, and the original oonviotion right and should be restored. Appeal allowed.

Directions for the guidance of voters are outlined in the Plebiscite Aot ae stated below : The voter will go into one of the oom- partmente, and with the pencil provided in the compartment, place a prose (thus ,it) on the right hand side, in the upper space if he desires to vote "Yes" on the question, and in the lower space if he desires to vote "No" on the question. The voter will fold up his ballot paper so as to show the name or initials of the Deputy -Returning Officer (or Returning Officer, as the case may be) signed on the back, and leaving the compartment will, without showing the front of the paper to any person, deliver such ballot ae folded to the Deputy -Returning Officer, (or Returning Officer, at the case may be) and forthwith quit the polling place. If the voter inadvertently spoils a ballot paper, he may return it to the DeputyReturning Officer (or Returning Officer, as the case may be), who will, 11 satisfied of such inadvertence, give him another ballot payer. If the voter plebes on the paper more than one mark, or plaoos any mark on the paper by which he may be afterwards identified, his ballot paper will be void, and will not bo counted. If the voter takss it ballot paper out of the polling place, or deposits in the box any other paper than the one given to him by the Deputy -Returning Officer (or Returning Officer, as the ease may be), Ile will be subject to imprisonment for any ream not exceeding six months, with oe without hard labor.
