tends to bring out a lot of hands from

part, as the Germans are all industrious
and good workers. -A full meeting of
the officers and directors of the Hay
Branch Agricultural Society was held in

days for the holding of the show. -We
are sorry to state that Mrs. Frederick -
Hess is in e Very critical state of health,

may recover. The sympathy of all will
be extended to Mr. Hess in his trouble.
Brussels.
POLITIGAL.-The Conservative conven-
tion held here on Tuesday:last to select
a candidate to contest 'East Huron, for
the LeteaI Legislature, was a small affair,
and was not in any sense of the word a

posed mainly of people from the village.

persons present, all told. (Particulars
will be found in another column.)

put in the following list of appeals
against the Dominion Voters." Lists in

changes in, names and description of
properties; being about 350 appeals in
all, or enough to carry; a, dozen con-
stituencies if not attended' to. Refer -m-
em are working with a will. to see that
the lists are made perfect, and if the
same diligence is maintained until, the
last apart is held, East Iluron will, at
the next election, vanish as a Tory con-
stituency, and Iluroa will etancl three
in a line for both House -[Hear!

NEW CODNTY.-During the past week
the promoters of the County of Mait-
land, from Listowel, have been holding
meetings here and in Grey, advocating
the formation of a new county. Their
main abject is to get the Town of Lis-
towel made a county town. They do
not pat this forward as a reason, but it
is, nevertheless, the real one. They
have issued a pamphlet, setting forth
their arguments, which they are spread-
ing broadcast. • It is misleading in very
many respects, and parties should thor-
oughly examine it before -accepting the
statements made as sound.

PRESENTATION. -Preparatory to .Mr.
John Wilson's leaving this -part of, the
country, the friends and neighbors of
that gentleman assembled at his resi-
dence on Friday evening last, and after
filling every available nook and corner
to its utmoat capacity, proceeded to
make known their errand. Mr. George
Jackson, on behalf of the company,
read a neatly -worded address, expressive
of the esteem in which Mr. Wilson and
family are held in the com-
munity, and expressing sorrow that
they are ! about to remove from
their midst, whereupon Mrs. W.
Jackson came forward with a large tray
filled with china and presented Mrs.
Wilson with a magnificent set of china
and a purse containing $11 in cash,
Mr. Isaac Wilson with a very handsome
moustache cup, and Miss Wilson with a
beautiful silk handkerehief. Mr. Wm.
Jackson then came forward and pre-
sented Mr. Wilson with an elegantly
cushioned chair, and expressed the wish
that he might have long life and enjoy
many happy evenings in his chair. Rev.
Mr:Sabine then put in an appearance,
and, on behalf of Mrs. Sabine, presented
Mrs. Wilson with a superb set of glass-
ware. Mrs. John ;Jackson, sr., then
presented Miss Wilson with a very
handsome preserve .dish and 'bread
Plate. Mr. Wilson was 'taken so com-
pletely by surprise.that his words seem-
ed to have left him, and if he did not
thank his Remy friends. with words, he
did with looks. Preparations were then
.teade for tea, which, when it arrived,
clearly showed that among the other
good qualities of the ladies of Morris is
that of being able to get up a: splendid
tea. After tea all prepared to enjoy
themselves, the younger part of the
company going up -stairs and leaving the
older and more sedate to enjoy a quiet
chat among themselves. At a season-
able hour all prepared to depart, well
satisfied with the evening's entertain-
ment. In bidding adieu -all wiehed Mr.
Wilson and faniily peace and prosperity
in their new home.

s The New Stud Book. - -
Another meeting of horsemen and
breeders, in regard to the establishment
of a new stud book,was held at the
Rattenbury House, Clinten, last Mon-
day afternoon. There • was a fair at-
tendance of those interested. The first
business taken up was the completion
of organization by the consideration of
rules and regulations prepared by the
Board of Directors. A lengthy and
careful discussion resulted in the adop-
tion of the following rules and regula-
tions:
1. The association shall be known as
the Dominion Draught Horse Breeders'
Society.
2. The objects of the society shall be
to promote the ipterests of breeders of
draught horses in Canada, and to pro-
tect from deception dealers and users of
our breeding animals. To effect these
'objects we propose to establish a Book
of Registry, to be known as The .Do-
minion Stud Book, for Clydes, Shares
and their Crosses'," and to be under the
inanagement of a council composed of
fifteen persoms chosen from the members
of the society at an annual meeting,
thne and place of meeting fixed at the
last previous annual meeting. But the
said council shall be guided by such reg-
ulations as may, from time to time, be
adoptectat a iy general meeting of mem-
bers regularly called.
3. Two croSses in an animal shall con-
stitute eligib lity to registration; but
the council shall ,have discretionary
power to reje t inferior animals.
4. Foals wi h the -necessary breeding
shall - be eligil le for registration.
5. Horses - 'hich have been sold out
of Canada a any time if having the
necessary bre ding.
6. That no nimal shall be recorded
. .
until the pe igree has been reported
favorably upo1 by a committee selected
for that pur se.
7. That l4essrs. John McMillan,
David Mc-Int4sh, V. S., J. J. Fisher,
Wm. Wellwo d and Jas. E. Blackall,
V. S., be a committee to examine and
report upon all applications for registry,
and that thre4. of said committee be a
quorum, said ninmittee to be known as
the Execittive Committee. -
S. Every a plidation for entry must
be accompapi d by.proof that the ani-
mal sought to e registered is the 'pro-
duce of a pure bred or imported Clydes-
dale or of a p re bred or imported Shire
horse, and a mare with at least one
cross of either of the breeds named, but
an imported s re must be either regis-
tered or the pi oduce of a. registered sire
or dam. But the council shall have
discretionary sower to ,exclude from
entry animals f two croses, but deemed
unworthy of place ' among breeding
stock. _ .
9. The con itions of membership.
shall, up to th time of the publication
of the first vo ume, be the payment of
Five Dollars nto the treasury of the
society.
10. The fee for registry shall be, for
entires made by members of societ
$1 for each animal registered; by others,
$3 for each animal registered, both of
which will in hide. certificate. Special
certificate of bntry, 25 cents. In the
case of 'mice ed - applications the fee
shall be return d.
It was resolsfed that steps be taken at
once to secure the incorporation of the
society. Sever�i new meinbers were also
enrolled; and 'a, number of entries for
registration w re handed in. These
latter will be considered at the next
meeting of the Directors, which will be
called by the President so soon as the
incorporation. of the society has been
completed, wh n the permanent &gen-
ization will 'a so be effected. The so-
ciety, howeveri, may now be considered
an accomplish d fact. '
Men ury Barley. -
. The Toron Globe of Wednesday
last says: in reference to the
-note, on Mens ry. barley, we have re-
ceived a letter ffrom a Hamilton malting
and brewing jirm, stating: " That on
the 29th of Ja uary they placed in steep
about 300 bushels of this grain, and in
proper time it was converted into malt,
althoughatakin a day or two longer in
the process: T e grain worked thorough-
ly well on . the growing floors, and at-
tained a fine mellow condition before
placing - on t e kiln for drying. The
yield produced was 77 9-10 lbs. of malt
for each 100 lbs. of barley steeped,
which yield v ould no doubt have been
higher if our armers weuld only clean
np their grain properly.

AXIS CUT PEBBLES.
The frauds that have been perpetrated on the
spectacle wearing public by most dealers and
pedlars giving -assumed and fancy names to or-
dinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the,
public generally in the all important subject of
the preservation of the sight. There are outs
-
two articles from which spectacle lenses can be
manufactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass
by any other name it still remains glass. Pebbles
on the ether hand, is from Nature's own mans- -
factory. It is a natural -crystal, found•generally
in freestone foundation, and is harder than this
ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the
diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less
than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of dia-
mond dust, an the greatest amount of pow% is
placed immediately over the centre of the grain
found in all pebble: It will give to the spectacle
wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feel-
ing that the ordinaay spectacle lenses cannot
by any possibility impart. All spectacles and
Eye Glasses are stamped B. L. A. C. P., and can
only be purchaj3ed from
