YOUREX IN .ONTARIO.—The On-
tario Government Detective Rogers
arrived in Toronto on Saturday, after
a month's absence with a prisoner
whom he brought from Germany on
a charge of perjury. His name is
Chester Wilmott Yerex, who was
engaged in the seed grain business in
the country and is accused of forging
several bills of exchange on a private
bank in Lucan owned by R & J Fox.
The amount involved reaches $4,000.
Yerex was arrested in Bremen and
held till the detective arrived to
bring him back. W. Yourex was
formally charSed in the Belleville 1
sol ee_court; on Tuesday morning.—
The charge read was that on Novem-
ber 28th last he uttered a forged bill
of exchange for $200, purporting to
have been drawn by R. and J. Fox,
bankers, Lucan, knowing the same to
have been forged, and with intent to
defraud. The prisoner was remanded
until Tuesday next. It is expected
hat he will make a confession.
COMPLIMENTARY.—A Dungannon
correspondent thus refers to a speech
delivered by Mr A H Manning, the
week of the election:—On Mr Man-
ning taking the platform he was
heartily cheered by the immense
audience, which bad largely increased
from the opening of the meeting.
In the course of his speech, which
lasted nearly two hours; he adverted
in a forbible; logical and intelligent
manner to the leading political
questions of the day, maintaining
throughout a spirit of gentleman-
liness and leniency where it was
proper to whose who differed with
i him on the subject in hand. The
gentlemanly manner and spirit shown
by the speaker? and also the lucid,
straightforward arguments advanced
by him against the current objections
to free trade, were in direct contrast
to what has been too much the maii•
ner of some who use vituperative
language in former elections against
their opponents. The speech de-
livered by Mr Manning was pro-
nounced by the intelligent members
of both parties to be one of the best,
if not the best, ever delivered on
polities in Dungannon.
FIRE. — O'Hara's hotel, better
know n as Kelly's, located on Victor•
is street, near the G T R track, was
entirely destroyed by fire, at about
4.30 Tuesday morning. The fire,
which tis thought to ;have orignated in
the kitchen, must have been burning
a con siderable length of time before
it was discovered, for when Mr -O'Ha-
ra awakened, the whole building
was in flames, and it was with diffi•
culty that the inmates escaped with
their lives, not even securing their
wear ing apparrel. Mrs O'Hara
man aged to get out a trunk that con-
tained a few valuables, &c., but Mrs
Kelly lost everything she possessed.
The building being frame burned
very rapidly, in fact when the engine
got d own it was completely in ruins,
and the engine had been taken down
with unmet( speed, Mr Morris having
hitched a team of horses to it almost
on the first alarm of the bell. A
high wind was blowing to the north-'
east, and it was this fact alone that
preventod the destruction of the
adjoining property, the sparks for-
tunately being carried away from it.
The building was owned by Mr W
13utler, who will lose considerably,
notwithstanding the insurance. Mr
O'Hara loses heavily on the contents,
which were not insured, It is not
likely that the premises will he re-
built.
STOCK NOTES.—Mr Neil McDon-
ald, of Morris, Blyth P 0, has pur-
chased from W J Biggins, Elmhurst
Farm, Clinton, the first class short-
horn calf, Marshall Saxe. In breed-
ing quality and substance be is
qualified to stand at the head of any
herd in Canada. His dam,1Red Rose,
(Impt) was a prize winner at the
Provincial and Western Exhibitions,
and' her dam, the Rose, a first prize
winner at the Banffshire show, in
Scotland, in 1879, and also winner of
several other prizes in Aberdeenshire.
And hie sire, Excelsior Impt.(51233),
was a first prize winner both in
Scotland and Canada. He was sired
by Perfection, of the Violet tribe,
and was much used in the Cruick-
shank herd at Sittyton, he was a re-
markably thick set beast and took
first prize at Invernrie show when
nearly 10 yeaas old. He was sired
by Bridetnan, winner of three first
prizes at .Invernrie, he was a son of
Champion of England, unquestion-
ably the moat valuable of all the
grand sires used in bilildlhg up that
remarkable Sittyton herd. The re
are yet for sale at Elmhurst two fine
youngMatchless bulls, Home Guard
and ing's Ransom, from the well
known prize winning cow, Matchless

Mr D J Cantelon, (brother of Mr
Arthur Cantelon) of East Aeainiboa,

GOVERNMENT HELP.—During the
year 1890, the Conservative papers
in this county did not receive a great
deal - for government advertising,
though the amounts to the different
ones varies considerable, as these
figures, from the Auditor General's
report shows:—Clinton Newe Record
$14 40, Exeter Advocate $4 81, Exe-
ter Times $47.91, Goderich Star $35,-
19. Seaforth Sun $8.16 and Wingham
Advance $3 48.
AN OLD VOTER.—Dr Macdonald,
A.T. P,. East Huron, passed south on
Saturday last, on a visit to his father-
in-law, Mr Neil Ross, of Tueker-
smith, (near Brucefield). Mi Ross
has the honor of being one of the
oldest voters in the county, having
cast his ballot in the first election,
when the counties of Middlesex,
Porth and Huron were in one group,
and he has performed the same duty
at every subsequent election. Mr
Ross can give many interesting re-
miniscences concerning the difficul-
ties of pioneer voting, and states that
at the first election for the group
of counties mentioned, the voting
was held openly in Goderich, for a
week and matters were eo lively that
it was necessary to bring up the
"Regulars" from London, so as to
maintain order.
= NOTE,: Messrs Clark and mill
are into the egg business now and
expect to boom it this season; the
boys are hustlers, and deserve to
succeed. The weather has a spring-
like appearance, but a blizzard would
not surprise us any time. Mr Mc-
Taggart, we are sorry to say, con-
tinu es in poor health. Messrs Coop-
er and Logan have disposed of their
grocery business to Mr Geo Stewart,
who has joined his stock with theirs,
in the premises occupied by them.—
Dr Turnbull has moved his office to
that formerly occupied by Dr Dows-
ley, and after Monday next, . will
make it his night, as well as day
quarters. Messrs Davis & Rowland
have put in a furnace in the store of
Mr James Steep. Miss Deli. Doan,
of Clinton, represents the , W A. M
Association at the a nuel meeting in
London. Mr and Mrs Jno Taylor,
of Belgrave, are visiting friends here,
being on their wedding tour. Look
around the trunks and limbs of your
shade 'and fruit trees, and 'pick off
the clusters, rings and caterpillar
eggs, and you will have the pleasure
of seeing your trees with their leaves
not eaten, do no pruning for two
months, as the sap will soon run.
DEATH.—The death of Mr Samuel
Fitzsimons being looked for, it was
not a. surprise to learn that he had
passed away on Sunday morning last,
though the announcement was re-
ceived with feelings of pain and deep
regret by all. He was a young man,
having only reached the age of 39
years, and being a native of Hullett,
most of his life has been spent in
this vicinity. He was ' the second
youngest sou of the late Samuel
Fitzsimons, and lived beyond re-
proach and in such away as to merit
the respect and confidence of all.
He has been in declining health for
about a year, consumption being his
ailment, and he was well prepared
for the end, His wife and one child
survive him. He was a member of
the Canadian Order of Foresters,
and not only those belonging to the
order here, but also members from
Londesboro, Blyth, Seaforth and
Goderich took part in the funeral on
Tuesday, which was proceeded by the
Doherty Organ Band.
PERSONAL.—Mr H M Poueette,
the well known western representa-
tive of the Canaela Life Insurance
Co., is in town this week. A large
number of "absentee -voters" polled
their votes in town last week, their
names, as the sale bills say, being
"too numerous to mention." Mrs C
Dickson leaves this week on a visit
to Stratford. Mr A H Manning gave
his lecture "The tower of London,"
in Dungannon, on Tuesday evening,
to a crowded house. On Friday
evening Mr M C Cameron was es-
corted to the station by a torchlight
procession, and addressed a few
wards to bis friends before the de-
parture of the train, the procession
being composed largely of young men
who were disfranchised by the beauti-
ful aged voter's lists. On Wednes-
slay Mr Thos Calbick, of Moody-
ville, B C, arrived here on a visit to
his parents, who are,.besth i11; when
he left the west, his eldest brother,
Arthur, late of Brussels, was very
Iow, and his death was expected at
any time; Tom returns to the coast in
a few da ye.
WITHHELD.—We have received a
communication relating to the free
distribution of liquor by some Con-
servatives, at a certain hotel, a few
nights before the election, We have
also one concerning the treating done
by Reformers on Friday. As no good
will come of the publicatiion of either
of these, we withhold them, So far
as the NEW ERA is concerned, it is
scarcely necessary to say that we do
not approve of anything of this nature.
From still another communication,
that is omitted, we extract this sent.
ence:—"Tho thanks of the commun-
ity are due to the New ERA for the
calm and moderate tone in which it
presented its views during the cam-
paign; evidently it understende that
calling names is not argument."
While fully appreciating the kind -
pees of the sentiment here expressed,
let us say that in diseoseieg public
questions we long ago decided that
"personalities" were not arguments,
and our columns, so far as we con•
trolled them, would be free from
ends.
'fxo0zytery of Miran,
Tho-'eg tlarAwleg�_cfthe Pres
tery of tlurpm was held in- the fes-
bycerian church, Seaforth, on Tues•
day, 10thinet,, Mr Anderson, Mode-
rator, preeiding. The representative
elders.from Sessions presented their
commissions' for the ensuing year.
Mr Fletcher presented the report of
the Home Mission Comrpi tee, as to
the eid•receiving congregations, The
report was received and adopted, and
the committee was iostrycted to ash
for the ordinary grant from the aug.
mentation fund. Mr McDonald pre.
rented a report in behalf of the Com-
Sutttee.on Sabbath Observance, stat-
ing that petitions to Parliament fo
an Act to secure the better observ-
ance of the Sabbath had been
circulated amongst congregations
for signatures. The report was
received and adopted. Mr Anderson
presented an exhaustive report from
the Committee on the State of Reli-
gion, which contained the following
recommendations :-
1. That the notice of the elders be
called specially to the 3rd question,
viz., Do the elders meet at times for
special prayer for the congregations?
2. The Sessions call the attention
of the families of their congregations
to the importance and privilege of
attending the prayer meeting.
3. That the attention of Sessions
be directed to the 2nd recommenda-
tion advanced by the General Assem-
bly's Committee on the State of Re-
ligion of last year, viz , That as a
means of developing the gifts and
graces of the young people, a young
people's Society of Christian Endea-
vor, or similar association, be organ-
ized in all our congregations.
After the reading of the report, an
hour was taken in conference upon
the state of religion, the greater part
of the time being devoted to a con-
sideration of young people's asso-
ciations,the general verdict being one
of encouragement to and praise of
these associations, and an acknow-
ledgement of the good they are ac-
complishing, not only amongst the
young, but in connection with gene-
ral congregational work. The report
was received, the recommendations
adopted, and the convener and com-
mittee thanked for their diligence.
Mr McMillan presented a report from
the Committee on Temperance; the
Committee recommended as follows:
1. That the innitse_thnce ot moral
suasion, in promoting temperance
reform, be emphasized, and that its
continued and increased use be re-
commended.
2. Thatvthe office bearers and mem-
bers of the church be urged to prac-
tice and inculcate total abstinence as
the only absolutely safe course to be
followed.
3. That all available means be used
to secure in all our public schools the
teaching of the effects of alcohol on
health and morals, and that the sub-
ject should rank with others in ex-
aminations. The report was received)
and adopted.
Tho following deliverance, anent
the resignation of Dr Ure, was adopt•
ed, and a copy ordered to be engrossed
and sent to him :—
The Presbytery of Huron,while hum-
bly bowing in solemn recognition of the
manifest will of the great head of the
church, records with deep regret the
resignation and retirement of the Rev.
Robert Ure, D. D., of Knox church,
Goderich. While recording its sense of
its own loss. and of that of the church
at large, in the close of the public life
of one so eminently endowed with in-
tellectual talents of a high order, and
with gifts and graces which enabled
him to wield a power for all that was
good, the Presbytery would at the
same time thank God for His goodness
to our brother in enabling him to close
his ministry with so much honor to
himself and credit to the church. Dr.
Ure was ordained; in October 1850,
at Streetsville, where he remained till
October 8th, 1862, when he was trans-
lated to Knox church, Goderich. The
Presbytery was then composed of eleven
members, including Dr. Ure. Of these
the following have gone to their rest:—
Revs. James Duncan, Walter Inglis,
John Logie and John Ross. The fol-
lowing are still living, but for some
years past have retired from the active
duties of the ministry, namely: Revs.
William Graham, Matthew Barr, W. C.
Young and John Stewart. The Rev.A.
McKay, D.D., has not retired, although
at present without a charge. The only
member of the Presbytery of that time
who is still in charge of a congregation
is the present pastor of Seaforth. '1 he
Presbytery is keenly conscious that in
the retirement of Dr Ure, they shall
greatly miss one whose ripe experience
and extensive knowledge in no small
measure guided and shaped the delibera-
tions and decisions of this court for over
a quarter of a century, and whose loving
and genial spirit drew to himself person-
ally the love and esteem of all who enjoy-
ed the privilege of associating with him.
We thank God for all we have enjoyed
of his fellowship, and we most earnestly
pray that the blessed Spirit will sancti-
fy the separation to the session and con-
gregation of Knox church, Goderich,
and to the Presbytery, and that our
brother's health may be restored, and
that he may still be long spared to
guide us by his counsel, and to encour-
age us byhis word, and that he and his
partner in life may spend the closing
days of their life in the enjoyment of
the large measure of blessing in Heaven-
ly places in Christ Jesus.
A petition from the congregation
of Knox church, Goderich, was pre-
sented, praying for a separation from
the congregations of Leeburn and
Union church, Goderich township.
Messrs Strachan and %sere
heard in support of the petition, and
Messrs Cummins and McDonald on
behalf of Leeburn, and Mr Wm. Me -
Math on behalf of Union church.
There being no opposition to the
granting of the petition, it was re-
solved to grant separation, the same
to take effect from the fine, Sabbath
in April, the pulpits of Leeburn and
Union church to be preached vacant
on that day, and Messrs McDonald
and Ramsay, ministers, and Kerna-
han and Scott, elders, were appointed
a committee to arrange permanent
supply for the vacant congregations.
Mr D. Johnston was received as a
student, with the ministry in view.
The following persons were appointed
commissioners to the General Assem-
bly:--Meeers Anderson, Ramsay,Barr,
Fletcher and McDonald, minister,,
and the representative elders from
the congregations of Omen church,
Exeter, Grand Bend, Egmondvilte,
Thames Road, and Knox chnrcb,
Goderich Mr Geo Needham minis-
ter, and Mr Miller, elder. were ap-
pointed members of the Synod
committee on bilis and overturbe.
