Thos. Cobb, Seaforth, has been t removed to Norwich, and his successor is the Rev. John Mills. Rev. Mr. Baugh, of Walton, is appointed to Bay- field ; Rev. James Livingston, of Bay - was out of the house, but on Saturday last he got up in the forenoon'washed and dressed himself, and sat for over an hoar rekding. Complaining then of being unusually tired and weak, he re- tired to bed before noon, and never again rose from it. Thronghout his entire illness he was always cheerful, and nothing pleased him better than to have a social chat with 'a friend or neigh bor. Until within the last few days he soffered very little physical pain. His disease, whatever it was, caused only a gradual wasting away of the system He could always sleep well, but for -some months before his death he took very little nourishment of any kind. Mr. Dallas was the second son of the late James Dallas, of Badenoch, Inver- nesshire, Scotland. He was born in the Parish of Perthshire, and was aged 60 years and 6 months at the time of his death. He came to Canada in the year 1843, and settled in the town,ship of Noeth Easthope, in the County of Perth. He Was married there, and in, the year 1848 he removed to Tackeramith, and settled on the farm on which he -con- tinued to reside until the end, It was one ruabroken forest when he settled • upon it, and he cleared the greater part of it with his own hands, and he left it one of the best tilled and most com- fortable homesteads in the County of Huron. Mr. Dallas was a man of more than ordinary ability and intelligence. He was an extensive reader, and pos- sessed a most retentive memory, and there are few men in the ordinary spheres of life who have at their dna- mend so general a store of knowledge and who can use it.to better advantage. While he never neglected home or busi- ness duties he took an active interest in all public matters and in many sources, Of social enjOyments He dearly loted a game of checkers, and when he was in playing trim it took a good man to beat him. He has also occuelied prominent positions of honor and teust among his fellows, having been a mem- ber of the township Council for many years, and for several year in Emcees- sion he represented his township in the County Council. He was, in short, a good, useful man, a kind, -'true friend, and a generous, loving and thoughtful husband atid father, and there are few who pass from this sphere more deeply and sincerely regretted by those who knew him most intimately than James Dallas. He leaves a sorrowing widow and a large family of sons and clang's - - en, but they are all comfortably pro- vided for, although they will long sadly miss him who has gone, never to re- turn. field, to Walton; Rev.

Brine, of Harpurhey, got pretty badly bitten by a dog. She had given the brute some feed. and after he ate it he was coining into the house. She undertook to turn him out when . he sprang at her and first caught her foot, tearing her shoe and making a nasty wound with his teeth; and then made another attack upon her and caught her by the arm, tearing it bs.dly. Her criee brought assistance, and the brute was driven off. Medical aid was at once secured. The wounds, although somewhat painful, are not considered dangerous, and the young lady suffered more from. the nervous shock than from the other injuries. She is now recovering. The dog was at once killed. He had been in Mr. Brine's possession, and had been around the house for five or six years, and al- though a little cross was never con- sidered dangerous. A FALSE REPORT REFUTED. --MR. EDITOR. -DEAR SIR, - Having heard some time ago there were rumors of a very unpleasant character afloat in several localities in this neigh-borhood, concerning M. L. Rossvally, M. D.., the converted Jew, and having taken the position I did in connection with him, giving a public testimonial to his worth, I felt desirous of finding out at head- quarters whether his standing in the Methodist Protestant church. in Amer- ica was as he represented. Accordingly I wrote -on the 9th of May to Dr. Staple, the president of the conference; and received the following reply, which speaks for itself: Nsw (Lw, May 24th, 1832. Rev. J. McCor,-DEnt Sre,-Your letter of the 9th inst. has been received, and in reply to your inquiry in relation to Dr. Rossvally I assure you that he is in good standing in the Methodist P. church, and his credentials and testimonials are valid. 1 hare had but little personal acquain tance -with Dr. Rossvally, but so far as my knowledge of him extends-, I have no reason to withhold my Christian confidence. I believe him. to be a good Y011td truly, M. ST.A.PL. An early insertion of thie communi- cation will oblige.-JOSEPII MCCOY, Egmondville. • THE LATE Sures DALEAs.-Mr. Jas. Dallas died at his residence in Tucker - smith., on Tuesday morning last. As is known by many of our readers, he -has been in poor health. for some time. About 14 months age he first com- menced to find his health failing him, but having been all his life a remark- ably robust, healthy man, himself and his friends felt no anxiety about his indisposition, and naturally thought it would only be temporary. He con- tinued, however, to gradually grow worse, and ultimately determined to take a trip to his native country, with a hope of effecting an improvement. He only renaained in Scotland a few weeks, when he became tired of travelling around, and conceived a strong .desire to return home. His visit did not' re - suit in any material improvement, and he gradually continued to grow worse until near the end, when he went very fast, and we might say unexpectedly. Just a week before his death he ex- pressed a wish- to have a look around the farm, and his son took him in a '' earriaee, and at his request drove him to thefield that he first cleared. While here lee remarked to his wife that he never was happier in his life than when he was engaged in clearing that field, and that he would never enter it again. Bo that even then he must have had a premonition of what was in store for .hira. This was the last time that he • MESSRS. CAMERON AND PORTER Ciasems.--Messrs. M. C. Cameron a Robert Porter, the candidates for We Huron, held a meeting at Clinton ! Monday evening last. The town h was packed fall, and many who we unable to obtain seats were forced stand throughout the entire Meetin The audience were remarkably orderl and both candidates were accord4 good and patient - hearing. The inee ing was opened by Mr. Cameron. ii had been unwell for some days previoti ly, and even then was so hoarse th it was difficult for him to speak. No withstanding his indisposition, hovveve he held the attention of his -vast aud once closely for nearly two hours. II discussed exhaustively the questions the Boundary Award,Provincial Rigb the Paciflb Railway Bargain, ti North west, Lands and Colonizatio Policy, the laurplus and the expenditui by the Government. On each one these counts he made out a strong a convincing case against the Gover ment, and. concludedby expressing firm belief that the country would fuse to condone the many acts of m administration on the part of the Go erement. me. Cameron was follow by Mr. Porter who conimenoed by sa ing that he did not intend to follow reply, to Mr. Cameron on the snbject he had dwelt upon. He would confari hiznself mainly to the National Polio' as he considered that the real question or, at least, by far the most importan question at issue between the partie at the present time. The Nations Policy, he aid, meant business, an business was, he supposed, what' th people most,desired to hear about. H then proceeded to descant upon th cominercial depression during.the Mac kenzie regime, and the wave of pros perity that had floated over the coun try since 1878, and attributed the for mer to the inaction of the party in power, and the latter to the benign in fineries of the National Policy. IN dwelt at great length upon the revenue producing powers of - the present tariff as instanced by the existing and increas ng surplus in the public treasury, and ook up the old and thread -bare theory hat upon ,iraported articles of the n o aature and class of those which we urselves produce the producer pays he duty, while upon such productions s are indiginous to the country, and an net be grown or manufactured here he duty has, of course, to be paid by he consumer. He denied that the igh tariff had inereased the price of ny article to the consumer, as by pre- enting importation it had created an ncreased demand for homeraade wares, nd consequently the home manufac- urers could get along svith smaller roflts by reason of the increased pro - notion. The National Policy, he aid, had also proved a boon and a leasing to the farmer, for while it had ot increased the price of what he ate nd wore, it enhanced the value of hat he had to sell, as it prevented, the mericans from competing with and nderselling the Ontarioans in the Manitoba market, and hence he attri- uted the high price of horses, beef attle and pork in this Province at the resent time tothe fact of the great de - and for these in the Northwest, and he Americans being kept out of that arket by the National Policy, and at he same tioae he anocnnted for the low rice of wool by the fact that the abrics which formerly were made from nr long wools have gone out of fashion nd are unsaleable, and we have not s yet got a supply of fine wool to place the market. He merely touched pon the Boundary Award, and his efense of the Government on this ques- on was of the lamest and most halt - g chawter, and he wisely eschewed 1 refirence to the other burningns Tlestaowhich had been so exhaus- vely discussed by his opponent. He noluded an hour's speech by a most arcastic reference to a remark made Mr.. Cameron respecting the titled stocrato and monied lords who are pidly gaining large proprietory in - rests in the Great Northwest, and a a a A u ,na a a in ti in al ti CO by ari ra te though repeatedly ured to proceed, he declined to speak 'longer, evidently being glad to avail himself of aw ax- e -use to be relieved frem the very trying and unpleasant position of having to apologize for what he in his heart must condemn. Mr. Porter was followed by Mr. John McMillan, the Reform can- didate for South Huron, who, on the invitation of Mr. Cameron, closed the discussion by a vigorous twenty min- utes speech, in which he' replied to several of Mr. Porter's most palpably absurd National Pohoy theories. The meeting was brought Ito a termination about eleven o'clock.: Mayor Forester occupied the chair, and the -exceeding- ly orderly meeting wes due in no small degree to the tact he !displayed in that position, for although the major portion of the audience seemed peaceably dis- posed, there were a few obstreperous epirits present who occasionally per. their feelings to get the better of theirigood judgment, and had they not been carefully managed by the chairman and speakers, the meeting would have been, much less orderly. • LOCAL BRIEFS. -Mr e Joseph -Higgins preached in the Egtoondville-Presby- terian church on Sunday morning last.

Watson, of Wineharn ; James Mitchell, Howick, and Mr. John McMillan, candidate for South Huron, addressed a Very crowd- ed house on politioal topios. Mr. Wade telt the floor first and delivered a very eff dive speech, dealing with the N. P., the Boundary Award and the disallow- anee of the Strearcis Bill. He was fol- lowed by Mr. V+4atson, who seemed bent on giving the house the idea that the Reform speakers were neither more noe less than eo mariy Spanish matadores throwing "red flag" in the face of the th people to keep ei minds off the main issiies. He displayed a number of his so-italled red flag, (in his mind), but un ortunately thet udience could. not xecbgnize them a such. After Mr. ' Watson, Mr. Jame a Mitchell took the floor, and put the N. P. before the house in such a way that no unprejudiced hearer could fail to see it in its true light, namely, ae a big fraud. Mr. McMillan followed, and. dealt with all the issues of the tirie for over an hour and a half, and wa listened to during the: whole of that time with almost breathless interest, and without a single interruption. Mr. Watson rose again to repls , but his wholei 1 theme seethed to be the "red flags;" bet being follbwed by Mr. McMillan again he was obliged to show the white feather. After cheering the leading men of the day and the speakers, the meeting broke up at 2.30 a. m. Saturday morning. 1 I [PROM THE NEW gRA.] Al LoNci TRAMP. -Speaking about the Manitoba fever the other day, one of the Oldest residentsof this town, whose word is as good se his bond, stated that while residing in Toronto nearly fifty years ago, a person whom he knew vol nteered his eervices with Lord Sel- e ; kir and went out to the Northwest, b but : ecoming disgusted therewith, he desrted and returned to Toronto, hay- ing tnade the whole distance on foot, with the exception of where rivers had to bp crossed.
