NEWS NOTES. Kippen.
*8.v8C HOME.—The Methodist
Hon M Drury progrossiug • harvest itOme, on September let, was
favorably, but it will be fur or la great success. The day was one of
five weeks before the results of1 the finest this summer, and the coin -
the fever allow him to be around. PallY seemed delighted with the whole
program, dinner, grove, speeches,
games and Dinging. All the minti,
tem advertised, excepting Rev Joseph
Edge, put in aa appearanee, and
spoke. Dr Willoughby did specially
good service on Sunday and Mouday.
The net proceeds were about $108.
The purchasing committee expect to
expend it on carpet, furniture, etc.,
for the parsonage. Rev S. Acheson
said he hoped the parsonage would be
moved to Kippen, and ail the (Kip -
pen) people said "Amen," so did their
preacher. It seems nonsense to ask
a Kippen, Hill's Green, Chiselhurst
and Drysdale pastor to live at Hensall.
Mrs W Cudznore, who for the past
three weeks has been in Florence, re-
turned on Friday last. Mrs Ivison
is visiting at Toronto this week. The
many friends of the Rev A K Mus-
tard, who three years ago was Rev.
E A Fear's colleague on Hensall
North Circuit, will regret to learn of
the sudden death of hie sister at Staffa
where he is at present residing. We
extend our sincere sympathy to the
bereaved mother and brother. Our
market is now open; Mr McLennan
has again rented the storehouses and
has secured the services of Mr J Mof.

The Ontario Cabinet Com-
pleted.
»The men who have previously -
composed the Ontario Cabinet,
bince Mr M,)wat's advent, have
always been persons of the very
highest standing, and those who
have been caosen V) till the vacant
portfolios are in no respect what-
ever inferior to their predecessors
The new Otita;Th Cabinet now
btancls as follows:—
Him. Oliver Mowitt, Premier and
Attorney General,
Hon. G. W. Ross, Minister of
Education.
Hon. A. S. Hardy, Minister of
Crown Lands.
Hon J. M. Gib on Provincial
Secretary.
Hon. C. P. Frazer, Minister of
Public Woi
Hon. IL Harcourt, Treasurer.
Hon John Dry den, Minister of
.A gri cu I tu re.
Hon .E. II. Bronson, portfolio,)
Hon. Mr Ozi b:1011, who was
defeated at the last election
may yet sit fur Hamilton; 11. 1101,
he will easily- get a seat eke
-
where. The new Ministers are in
in every sense of the word the
right men in the right place.
Hon. Richard Harcourt, M. P. P.
for Monek, the new Provincial
Treaserer, is one of the best all-
round men in public life. lie is
a good speaker, a master of the
Engiish language and unusual-
ly well informed on all matters
affecting his native Province.
Though he has had no special
training for the Treasurership he
is a man who will still be able to
discharge its duties satisfactorily.
Of Hon/John Duden, member
for South Ontario, the new Minis-
ter of Agriculture, it can safely be
said that no man in Ontario is
better adapted to manage a most
important department He
is a progressive farmer, well
informed i on all public ques-
tions, and will be able, either in
the House "or out of it, to give
much assistance to his fellow ag-
riculturist. The other day, the
Farmers' Advocate, an able agri
cultural journal, warmly eulogize
the honorable gentleman. There
can be no doubt that Mr Dryden's
selection will give immense satis-
faction to the public.
Hon E. H. Bronson, of Ottawa,
becomes a Minister without port
folio and receives no salary. This
.extention of the Cabinet is
deemed wise owing to the contin-
ued developement of the Province
especially in its lumbering and
mining interests. This is one of
the strongest appointments that
could havo been made. As an
Eastern member, and having
enormous interests in tho country
Mr Bronson has an intimate
knowledge of what the out -lying
,sections of the Province require.
rft;terill be especially gratifying to
'to the West to learn that the SOY"
vices of Mr Ballantyne, member
for South Perth, are recognized
by the government. He has
been selected as the Minisiorial
candidate for the Speakership,and
that -means his election, Mr
J.BaKantyne is eminently qualified
'n preside over the Logisla,,ittan
He is ono of the best-informod
farmers in the Province, and he
has the happy faculty, both in and
out of the House, of making and
holding close friendship with
members of both political parties.
His prolonged experience in pub-
lic life, coupled with these (vial-
ifications, will no doubt constitute
him a model Speaker. The
Cabinet, as now composed, is a
particularly strong one, and pure-
ly Canadian, every member in it
being a native of Ontario.
In the Methodist General Con •
ference at Montreal,last Monday
evening, Rev Dr. Douglas' resolu
tion, reaffirming the decision of
the last General Conference in
regard to university federaCoi,
was carried by 171 to 76.
It is computed that in the item

It is expected that 200 families,
or 1000 souls in all, will be
brought over from Dakota to

It is stated that the IManitoba

Last Friday night, while driv-
ing a few miles north of Bradford,
Thomas McNab, a farm hand, fell
from the wagon and broke his neck.
Death resulted very soon after.
Doceasad was 61 years of age,
and is supposed to havo been in-
toxicated.
The most important item of
business transacted by the Gener-
al Conference Wednesday was
the decision to have only one sup-
erintendent. Amongst other
questions discussed was that of
subjecting users of tobacco to
severe discipline.
Mr A. F. Ross, merchant, of
Petrol* started out with a load
of goods to deliver Monday morn-
ing, and before getting very far
complained of feeling sick. He
got off the wagon; and just as he
entered the door of bis store he
dropped, and upon examination
was found to bo dead.
A young girl, aged 16, hanged
herself at her uncle's resi-
denee-, at Headingly, on Saturday.
She was found hanging by a rope
to the kitchen ceiling, on her
uncle's return from Winnipeg.
The girl objected to her father's
second marriaie,which is thought
to havo been the cause of the sui-
cide.
John Cornell,of Glassboro, N.J.,
after vainly trying to throw his
niece, Miss Mary Cornell, beneath
a moving train on Saturday,
jumped in front of the engine him-
self and was mangled to death.
Cornell was an elderly man, and
one of Glassboro's most, respected
citizens.
Mr Bond, of J3 urford, with
Misses Dolly Taylor and Bessie
Taylor, also of Burford, were driv-
ing norne from Brantford Friday
evening,and when passing through
West Brantford the traces got
loose and the team ran away,
throwing the occupants out, the
buggy passing over and seriously
hurting Miss Bessie Taylor. The
team was found in a ditch a little
distance from town, both horses
dead .
A littie son of George Smith
was visiting at Levi Richardson's,
4th concession of Whitechurch
near Newmarket, and went into
the pen where there was a sow
and a litter of pigs. The boy was
attempting to play with them
when the sow attacked him and
got him down, biting him in a
number of places and tearing the
little fellow to such an extent that
he is not likely to recover.
Quite an interesting scene was
witnessed in the coin t house at
Sherbrooke, P. Q., a day or two
since. A deaf mute was arrested
by the Grand Trunk authorities
upon suspicion of stealing some
goods from one of company's
cars. When brought to trial the
prisoner surprised the court by
writing upon a piece of paper
that he intended to defend him-
self, and was quite indifferent as
to whether the trial was carried
on in English or French. Tho
accused then wont to work, and
with paper and pon cross-ques.
tioned the opposing witnesses
with all the ability of a trained
advoca e. In fact, he did so well
that a erdict of not guilty was
returned against the man without
hearing and without speech.

oras. — Mrs Wni. Hannah, of
Pickford, Michigan is at present on a
visit at her father's, Mr Thomas
Neilans. Among those who have
gone from here to Toronto Exhibi-
tion this week are Mrs Samuel Reid,
and Mr James Watt.
CONTEMPLATIVE.—The wheels of
Commerce have begun to roll and
one may see wagons loaded with
different kinds of grain coming from
the north, from the east and from the
west, going to the Hub and else-
where. It makes the musing spec-
tator think that it is a pretty good
country that has enough and so much
to spare, it causes a feeling of con-
tentment and a conclusion that it is
beat not to imigrate for a while.
COONS.—Some of our enterprizing
youths take nocturnal ramblings
through cornfield and meadow in
quest of furry quadrupeds. Almost
any evening the lade may be seen
going forth with clubs artfully shaped
and their old dog. Jumbo, whose
ability as a hunter and pugilistic
qualifications are excelled by few
of his canine brethern. These expe-
ditions have not been entirely fruit-
lestnas the results of the first evening's
chase was a handsome skunk, the
second expedition was more profitable
but less ordoriferous, for they suc-
ceeded in bringing down a large and
well developed coon, which Jim
peeled off next day, profits to be
shared equally.

William Lanark, a :wealthy old
farmer of Lanark County, died
fourteen years ago, leaving $81,-
000, the distribution of which
was made the occasion of a law
suit by some of the surviving
members of his family. Among
the male heirs was Stephen Holi-
day, a married son, who in 1864
left his wife and two children and
wont sailing on the lakes in the
schooner Ada Drake, which was
lost in a heavy storm off Cleve-
land, and Holiday's family sup•
posed he went down with the
vessel. Itis widow subsequently
married a Toronto man named
Derusha,and secured an order for
the payment, of Stephen's share of
his father's money to her and her
two sons. This was followed by
an order that the money should
remain in the court. Four years
ago Mrs Derusha, Stephen's wife,
died, and lately Stephen returned
to Canada, and told of his miracu-
lous escape from the wreck, after
being waYhed aliout the lake for
hours lashed to a ppm, and of
being picked up by a _propeller,
after which he went to Honduras,
and Central America. He has
been identified by hie only sur-
viving son and a neighbor who

If everybody will follow out the
sentiment of the street phrase
"Get a move on," they would be
surprised to see how it would ac-
cellerate business.
The Empire'sleditorial ;refer-
ing to the new members of the
Ontario Cabinet was as disagree-
able a snarl as has appeared in
that paper yet. It could not havo
said much more about a lot of

The facts are Mrs Green was called

ter of Mr Hanley, nor any relation • her
maiden name was Gardner, a fact' the
editor of the NewaRecord very well
knowe, as the relationehip between the
(baker farni4 and hie own is too close
to admit of his not knowing all about it.
Query, does the editor of the N -R make
such misrepresentations purely for love
of saying that which does not accord
with the truth; or has he got so imbued
with the habit of misrepresenting that
he cannot discern truth from falsehood?
or is the cause to be found in his being
a little "off" that day; which was 11? -
Echo answers, which.
Again, in an editorial on the tariff,he
says: "The present moderate tariff has
kept the farmers from positive ruin."
As an offset to this assertion, let me
quote from his illustrious leader, then
the Hon. John A. Macdonald, who, in a
speech in Hamilton about thirty years
ago, is reported to have said
"The great cause of the prosperity of
the farmers of Upper Canada is the Re-
ciprocity Treaty, and the consequent
interchange of agricultural products and
raw materials. He has found a market
where there was none at all before for
him. Although that treaty has existed
for ten years, and is to exist for ten
years yet; its repeal would bring injury
to Canada as well as to the United
States," And at a dinner given to
him at Caledonia about the same time,
he said: "If there is one measure of
late date which benefits the country
more than another, it is the Reciprocity
Treaty, negotiated, indeed, by Hincks'
Government, but perfected by Sir Al-
len's. You know that, whereas wheat
used to pay 20 cents per bushel to enter
the United States, it now goes in free,
nd every fanner here is 20 cents per
nahel richer for that measure."
These were the views of Sir John on
tl.e trade question until political exi•
is changed them, and the same
ay quite possibly change them
g in, when a sharp curve may be tak-
n, and the N• It will call as lustily for
free Tirade as it now does for the N.Y.
In the face of such opinions, given by
men of eminent ability, and the fact
well known to every person that the
Canadian farmer can live and prosper
without reciprocity, and in spite of the
injurious influence of the N.Y.. what is
to be gained by such assertions as that
"the tariff has kept farmers from posi•
tive ruin." Is it done purely for the
love of lying? Again echo whispers
why?
But the crowning effort of the inglor•
ions attempt of the N.R. to reach the
climax of untruth and absurdity, lies in
the diatribe on the use of tobacco. Were
it not that the article is inserted as an
editorial, I would infer that it had been
written by some novice, whose suffer-
ings from "ecechia scribendi" are of
such a nature that even salt does not
save him. The article is too lengthy to
admit of a review, but a few extracts
may seem interesting.
Regarding his references to General
Booth I need only say that he and the
army are engaged in a great and glori-
ous work, and can well afford to allow
the likes of the N.R. to have their little

Last Saturday forenoon/Judge Doyle
held a court for the purpose of hearing
the appeals in connection with the
Brussels Voters' List for 1890. The
result was as follows: -Reform appeals
12. Struck off 4 put on municipal
voters. Conservative appeals 38. Struck
off 3, put on 4 municipal voters and 3
parliamentary. Thos. Ballantyne was
tined $2 kr not being in attendance
at Court when called. Iia was sub-
pomed as a witness by the Conservative
party. It seems Mr Ballantyne was at
the Hall, went house for his dinner
and while absent was called for. This
is the first instance of the kind on
record in Brussele.
The Seaforth Expositor says:- Mr
F. W. Crich, of this town. this week
sold to Mr Christopher F. Dale, jr., of
Hullett, one of his farms. This farm
is situated on the 8th concession, near
Kinburn, and contains 100 acres. It
was sold for $4,300. It is an excellent
farm, but there are no buildings of
any account on it, and has been fairly
well sold considering the way that
lands are now selling. Mr Dale is now
the owner of six hundred acres in the
township of Hullett, and all as good
land as there is in Canada. He has a
splendid estate of five hundred acres in
a block. He has Blade the most of it
by his own industry and good manage-
ment, and is a comparatively young
Ulan yet.
A rather strange accident occurred
to Mr Dennis Downey, son of Mr
Stephen Downey, of McKillop. It
seems that on the morning of the 9th
inst. he went out a hunting, and that
while going over a fence his foot slipped
and he fell -his right side striking
against the fence. A long lead pencil
happened to be in his breast pocket.
The sharp endlran into his side near
the arm pit, and took a direction for-
ward and upward through the fleshy
part of the breast. He extracted it
with considerable difficulty as it must
havo been nearly four inches in the
flesh It bled freely, but young Dow-
ney kept up pressure with a hander -
chief and got Mr Strong, who happen-
ed to 5be passing at the time, to drive
him to Seaforth, where he had the
wound dressed by a doctor, and as far
as we know he is doing well. The ac-
cident is a very strange one,and had it
occurred on the left side instead of the
right, the pencil might have caused his
death by piercing the heart, t his has
happened before. He ought to be
thankful at the result.

-
To the Editor of the Clinton Nero
DEAR Stit, -Is there any law in Clin-
ton to protect the owners of gardens
from having their fruit trees robbed,
not only in the most shamefullmanner
in broad day light, but also between 10
and 11 p.m., by the aid of electric light.
If our council would do as many other
councils have done, pass a by-law tri:
arrest all boys and girls under 15 years
of age, found roaming the streets after
9 p.m., without being able to give any
sufficient reason for being abroad, it
would be a great benefit to Clinton, and
a still greater benefit to the young
people thereof. Yours truly,
answer em as e evon
shire man said, when his wife was beat-
ing him, "It plaizes ur and it don't urt
I." Nevertheless, when a person who
poses as a leader of public thought,
makes use of such expressions as we
find in said article, for instance, "a man
can smoke for the glory and honor of
God as well as he can eat for his honor
and glory," it may lead those whose
minds are not yet matured, to think
that smoking may not be a bad thing
after all; and when he compares the
eating of beef, for the nourishment of
our bodies, to the gratifying of a de-
praved appetite by smoking, and tells
us that "the art of smoking is a purely
intellectual gratification without a taint
of sensuality er sensuousness about it,"
he merely makes statements and ex-
presses sentiments that could only have
originated in a brain either bedimed by
tobacco or befuddled with alcohol, and
are worthy of just such authorship.
While reading such statements as the
following, "Smoking is one of correc-
tives in such cases, appealing, asit does,
to the intellectual portion of man, and
helping it to triumph over the carnal,"
it has been a question in my mind how
much tobacco would it take to enable
that writer to "triumph" over his pro•
pensity for untruthfulness and prevari-
cation, and elevate him to the standard
of mediocrity in morals, intellect and
common sense. Methinks I hear the
echo, how much ?
This article would not bo complete
were I not to show you what the real
action of tobacco on the human system
is, but as I have already occupied a good
deal of space I will have to reserve that
for a future time. Before closing, how-
ever, let me just say that I am fully de-
cided in the opinion that our all -absorb-
ing mission in this world isto preparefor
a future stage of existence; consequent-
ly,it just depends on what sphere a per•
son expects to occupy, how he prepares
for it. If a man expects to spend his
future existence among fire and smoke,
by all means let him begin now to
habituate himself to it. If, on the
other hand, he expects to dwell amongst
the things that are pure and holy,
being made white in the blood of the
Lunt>, then by all means let him at
once eschew every thing that defileth,
laying aside every weig,ht (not forget-
ting to include the filthy habit of smok-
ing) which cloth sc paveerfully beset him.
