Smith.
The United Empire passed up on
Saturday without calling at this
port. For some reason or other the
Beatty Company or the boats' com-
manders have never been in favor
of calling at Goderich. This has
been shown time and again in un-
necessary fault-finding, but now
there is, perhaps, a grievance, they
are quick to act, though it is safe to
say if there were opponents for the
western trade the Company's boats
would still make calla regularly
enough. It is easily understood
why the commanders would rather
pass by, they have more time at
home, but why the Company is so
anxious to destroy the town's trade
is a conundrum that cannot be
solved on business principles" unless
the G. T. R. gives them better rates
to other ports. Now that the dam-
age is done, it behooves the Gov-
ernment to see that this so•called
harbor of refuge is one in reality,
though when the Empire ran
aground recently it was not the
fault of the harbor, but because the
vessel was passing out ctith such
little headway that when her bows
gassed beyond the lighthouse tho
strong wind then blowing caught
her and drove her into shoal water,,

Great preparations are being made
for our fall show which takes place
on Thursday and Friday. Should
the weather only prove favorable a
big crowd is expected in town to
see the many attractions that is- in
store for them.
The I. O. G. T. intend giving a
concert in the Temperance Hall on
the second night of the fair (Fri-
day). They have spared no ex•
pause in getting some first class
talent for the occasion. Lovers of
a good eveuinge entertainment
should make it a point to go and
take it in.
On Sund ty quite an excitement
was caused here when itwas re-
ported ths.t the wife of Mr. Peter
Scott of East Wawanosh had
mysteriously left her home on Fri-
day morning whilst her husband
was in Belgrave doing some busi-
ness. She left° a note saying she
would be back in a little while.
She not having returned by night
the husband was anxious as to her
whereabouts. Enquiries were made
by parties in town on Saturday to
no purpose. Consequently a large
searching party was organized to g
out in n!1 directions on Sunday.
Much symettby was expressed in
town for husband in his sore
trouble. \\' understand the young

What is the matter with the
County Town only one buyer for
coarse graine. I guess the farmers
will have to go to Clinton, Luck -
now and other places with this
Wass.
Glorious weather and alithose in-
terested in saving graeu fodder are'
busy at work and a large amount of
second crop clover has been cut.
Fall wheat looks remarkably well
and a large area has been sown.
Threshing is iu full bloat and
spring grain is A No. 1. 35, 40
and 45 buehels per acre of peas is

bushels per acre.
A Mr. Burton of Detroit, Capt.
Babb and Win. Lee of Goderioh
have been along the Lake shore
selling the lumber that drifted
ashore off the Barge "Hodgkin."
A great many thousand feet of
this lumber has been grabbed up by
the land Marla and hauled inland.
The captain will be after them with
a sharp stick and if caught a month
or two in Castle Dixon will be the
result.
We understand the Beatty liue
of steamboats are not going to call
at the Connty Town again this sea-
son, this ;is really too bad. I pre-
sume 'tis on account of shallow
water in that $400,000 Harbor—
The screws now placed on those
gentlemen who are interested in
Harbor business, should produce a
little sympathy to the parties in-
terested iu Port Albert and Bayfield
Harbors ; but the fact is the dock
wollopets at the County Town
always 'moored at Port Albert
and Bayfield and did their utmost
to prevent the Dredge doing work
at either of those places. However,
they are not in such a bad fix so
long as they have got that Clipper
built Monitor "The Bob Campbell"
which can bed defiance to Dredges ;
she can run out into the Lake and
deliver all goods and merchandize
to the "Empire" and the "Monarch".
'Tis well to bo prepared, gentlemen,
for any emergency.
°antral Fair atOIinton,
On another page will be .found
list of pries takers, We may sup-
plement our predictions and remarks
of last week by saying that the
weather did keep fine, that the peo-
ple from far and near did come to
see the Fair. That they all appear-
ed satisfied that Clinton gave them,
if not the greatest ehnw on earth,
the greatest and beet ever held in
the county of Huron.
The hue arts exhibits were itn-
posiugly grand. hoots and vege-
tables, the beat ever seen in Canada.
Fruits, apples eepeoially, fairly
blushed at the encomiums passed
upon them. Flowers were- equally
attractive. Grain of the various
kinds showed that Ceres with a
liberal mind and bountiful hand
had generously helped the white -
handed sons of tail.
Leslie was on hand with beauti-
ful and useful goods iu the buggy
line and his exhibits were admit ably
supplemented by thoae.of Hayward
and Rumball. The Doherty organs
were there, but after the columns of
praise they received at City Fairs
any comments on them would be
superfluous.
In horses,. cattle end sheep, no
better samples wore seen at any of
the big shows, and they made the
eyes of some Americans bulge out
with surprise so that the eagle could
perch on them.
We cpuld fill columns with jueti•
fiable encomiums on the excellence
of the various exhibits, but the prize
list, given in full on another page,
will tell the verdict of the official
judges.
A. word about those who had the
management of the Fair. While all
the Directors worked with energy
and good jungment carrying
"out the plan, of the campaign,"
President Manning and Secretary
Jackson, ably assisted by Vice Presi-
dent Plummer, hare fur months
been diligent in season and out of
season in making arrangements for
the,l'air which culminated so sac
ceesfully last week. We mention
these names without invidiously
execpting those of their fellow di -
actors and assietaute without whose
ntefligent aid their beat laid plans
vould have "gone aglee".
As we mentioned last week, en -
ries were more numerous than in
ny previous year,with a correspond -
ng increase in gross returns. The
et returns will also be much great
r, as expenses are lees, leaving out
xpenditurea on capital account.
THE SALE OF PATRONAGE.
TSE PRICE CUTARGED In GRIT PACAUD
FOR POSITIONS.
The Grits are doing a very con-
siderable amount of talking just
now concerning the sale of offices,
raised over their abortive attempt to
connect Mr. Cochrane with impro-
per acts. In this, as in all other
things, the Grit purist would do
well to sweep out his own household
before raising his hypocritical yawp
over the alleged and unproven
wrongdoings of his neighbors.
PAOAUD LOOMS UP.
In this connection the immaculate
Pacaud again looms up, and the
tearful Grit is recommended to
carefully peruse the following be-
fore exhausting the welt springs of
his sorrow. Previous to 1$78 the
generous Paeaud was, as now, the
treasurer, financial mainstay and
boodling backbone of the Grit party
of Quebec. The unscrupulous
character of his proceedings in the
Bain des Chaleurs matter was not
unlike his hudinese methods of old
days.
That however is about to be hi-
vestigated by a commission of three
Judges. It may however be stated.
that during all his nefarious transac-
tions he has been the bosutu friend
of Rewire Mercier and Laurier.
On the eve of his departure front
the country to avoid arrest for non-
appearance before a committee of
the Senate to tell what he knew
about what is called "the Quebec
steal," he advised Mr. Laurier of his
going to leave. This Paucaud is, as
we have said the tool of Mercier and
Laurier, who helped Cameron of
Huron in a Inoustroue attempt to
blacken the character of Mr. Coch-
rane, a Conservative of the House
and one of the honeetest men on
either side.
The following is a copy of- an
affidavit given by Mr. Oliver Duval,
of Three Rivers, to Lieut. Dorais
with regard to the sale of the vacant
registrarship of Three Rivers by Mr.
E-trneat Pacsud :
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC,
{ DISTRICT OF THREE RIVERS.
I, the undersigned, Oliver Duval,
farmer and justice of the peace of
her majesty since 1870 or there-
abouts, resident in the district of
Three Rivers, 71 years old, declare
that on Maundy Thursday, the
18th of April, 1878, I met Earnest
Pacaud, Esq., advocate of Arthas
baskaville, at the bbgistry office in
the city of Three Rivers, in the
presence of Bruno Duval, Kossuth-
Duval and Emile Duval,my nepb.
ewe. It was in the afternoon. A
team had been sent to my residence
to fetch we there, not knowing then
what was wanted of me. Mr.
Ernest Pacaud then said to me that
if I would give him $1,500 be would
have Bruno Duval, deputy registrar
of St. Maurice, appointed registrar
by the Government. The said
Ernest Pacaucf told me that if he
asked for that amount it was be-
cause his party required it for the
present elections. He added that
the office of the registrar wee to he
given to Charles Lajoin, nie,nber of
the House of Commons for St.
Maurice, because lie was offering
$3,000 for the same, but that he,
the said Ernest Paeaud, had exert.
ed himself so much that lie had
obtained from the Ministers the
promise that my nephew, the said
Bruno Duval, would be appointed
registrar on payment of $1,500.
After seriously deliberating with
my nephew, the said Bruno Duval,
we decided not to pay the $1,500,
and I make this solemn declaration
conscientiously believe the same to
be true, and by virtue of the Act
passed in the 37th year of her
majesty's reign, entitled "An Act
for the Suppression of Voluntary
and4Extra Judicial Oaths," and I
have signed.
O. DUVAL.
Taken before mo, oue of her
majesty's justices of the peace for
the district of Three Rivers, the
26th day of April„ 1878.
(Signed) FEs LEOLS DESAULNIERS,
Justice of the Peace.
This is not the only sample that
tan he given, but it will do for the
present.

WEDDING.—A very pleasant
event took place at the residence of
Mr. John Sheppard, Bayfield Line,
last Wednesday. It was the marri-
age of his daughter, Harriet, to
Patrick Johnston, from near Drys-
dale corner, Stanley. There was a
good number of relatives present to
witness the ceremony, which was
performed by the Rev. W. Ayers,
of Holmesville. After the cere-
mony a tempting wedding feast was
partaken of. Tho presents were
numerous and valuable. The happy
couple left Clinton on the evening
train on the honeymoon. to Michi-
gan. Ou their return in a couple
of weeks the couple will settle
down to farm life in Stanley.
CIRCULARS.—It Seems that the Post
al Department recognizes circulars
written or printed on a type writing
machine as ordinary pen written mat-
ter and that postage must be paid
thereon accordingly. The Hamilton
Spectator printed a counterfeit pre
sentment of type written circulars
in such close imitation of the origin -
el that the Hamilton postmaster de-
tained them and demanded regular
letter rate postage, 3 cents on each
inat.ead of 1 cent on each. Expla-
natiooa followed and we believe
they passed through at printed mat-
ter rates The ,Slee, eeenee to
eve ything -wet I, so does the NEWS --
RECORD, especially the printing of
circulars, and other job printing.

The picnic held in Mr. McLougb-
lan's field and grove on Saturday
the 26th ult. was a very enjoyable
affair. The weather was grand. The
attendance was large. The tables
dere go temptingly spread and so
bounteously supplied with good
thiugs that even the neighboring
bees yielded to the temptation and
carne to the picnic. The races were
hotly contested. The base ball was
kept on the fly and the swings went
to and fro with their beautiful
freight, to the delight of swinger
and swinged, until as Robbie Burns
said about his picnic on the banks
of the Ayr;
"Too, too soon the glowing west
Proclaimed the speed of winged
day."
and then all wended their way
homeward, well pleased with their
day's fun. -

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT
MUST ANSWER TO THE
CHARGE OF CON-,
SPIR.ACY.
Justi.:e Robertson, the elbctiuu
judge for the chancery side, deliver-
ed judgment in Toronto on Friday
morning on' the motion made by Mr.
A. B. Ayleswortb, Q. C., to strike
from the petition against Sir Rieh-
ard J. Cartwright ie South Oxford
the clause which accuses the respon-
dent of conspiracy with Hon, Mr
Laurier and the general manager of
the G. T. R. The objections urged
agatnat the charge were that it was
impertinent and scandalous ; that it
was merely a piece of gossip tt hitt►
at the • late electious had gnus the
rounds of the Conservative press ;
and that ,it was a gross and founda-
tioulass slander against the respond-
ent. In his finding Justice Robert•
son held that the charge was, in
form and in law, a proper one to
make in an election protest ; that
such a serious charge having been
wade in legal form, the respondent
was entitled to and should take the
proper remedy to disprove it if inno-
cent. Consequently he dismissed
the motion to strike out the clause
and sent it on to the trial .judge. The
accusation, which has not yet been
published, upon which Sir Rich-
ard Cartwright will he tried, id 10
brief :—
"That Sir Richard John Cart-
wright was by himself, by hie agents
and others, a party to a corrupt
agreement between Hou. Wilfred
Laurier and the General Manager
of the G. T. R., whereby in consider-
ation of promises of grantsnf money
end other favors by Cartwright and
Laurier General Manager of the G.
T. R. undertook to intimidate and co•
erre the employees of the G. T. R. to
vote for the said Cartwright and
Laurier and their candidates. And
the employees of the G. T. R. ie
West and East York, the city of
London, North Victoria, South
Victoria, North Sirncoe and East
Hastings were intimidated and co-
erced into voting -for the candidates
of the Reform party, etc."
—Farmers have been very busy the
last few days healing in grain, says the
Scotch settlemeut correspondent of the
Stratford Beacon. As we have had show-
ery weather of late some of the grain has
been taken in rather wet. Two of our
thorough going farmers back north have
been so busy that they forgot to keep
track of the days of the week and last
Sunday morning each put on s load of
flax and started for Millbank. Arriving
at Hereon being about 2 miles they call-
ed for a drink and then discovered their
mistake. The Worthy ,aoalord told
them that he did not sell liquor on Sun•
=days—drrtkgt h+eireereer ire -Ttityief

eaoh, taking a road of his own, sneaked
home determined in future to watch the
colander more carefully.

ing by the neck on a child's swing at

cently of London Weet, has one of
the finest libraries in Ontario, and by far
the largest in the London Conference. 1 1

—Monday evening a company of
twenty or more relatives and friends of
Reeve and Mrs. Mooney of Morris visit-
ed their home, on the quiet, armed with
well laden baskets, and helped them
celebrate the 27th annivereory of their
marriave. The time was spent in social
cleat and a brief address by Rev. U F.
Salton.
—R. McMurray, 4th line, of Morris,
Bowed 111 pomade of Carter's Prolific im-
ported, 2 rowed barley. From it he has
threshed, cleaned and sold 97 buehele to
Reeve Graham at Brussels, for 50 cents
per bushel. This will be an interesting
item to farmers as there is a ditersity of
opinion concerning the results fi-oni sow
ing this variety of'harley.
—While in search of eggs; Mrs. Dan-
iel Potcher of Peramont miseed her foot.
leg and fell from the scaffold to the barn
Boor beneath, breaking three ribs end a
Dollar bone in the fall. She was found
some time afterwards in an miconecious
state.
—The action of Ronald ve. the town cf
Sault Ste. Marie, which was tried at the
spring chancery sittings at Goeerich,
will he remembered as of ,:enerel inter-
est. It"was an,action by J. D. Ronald,
the Brussels manufacturer, for $6,200,
thepricoofe steam fire engine and its ap-
plisocee and interest thereon, or in al.
ternative for specific performance of on
agreement to purchase the engine by rle
livering debt-ntores, etc. The harried

ment in Toronto recently, in which he
holds that ander the, original re.•edutions

—A former teacher at Johoeton's Cot n-
ers, Brant, Township, Bruce county,
has disgraced himself by his very immor-
al acts. He had been teaching at .'e
place mentioned above, about two miles
from Walkerton, since August, 1889,
but shortly before the midsummer heti
days of present year secured a university
student to finiiah the term. After leav-
ing hie school he went to Toronto, and
from thence to Uncle Same domains,
where he fancied he was safe. It seems
that the depraved animal, in whom the
brute nature largely predowiinatee, was
guilty of seducing several girls. Hie
villainous note were principally inBrant
and Arran townships, where under pro-
mise of marriage he betrayed the unfor-
tunate girls. The friends of the deceiv-
ed women have engage4,a date ixe to
find out bis whereabolOre s-1i'r g-nr& `
to justice. The teacher is well known in
East Bruce,ghayfngteteglatiu,Broom.anti
