It Was decided to extend an 111Vinat1911 ta BeVi J. 0. Seat, Of Grace eluircht St, Thomas, 'co become pastor of this church next year, 10 Scott Is Bresident of the London Venference, and, is very highly spoken of by his ministerial brethren. Rev. Ames Livingstone, of Lista- well, spent a short time in town on Friday, and. was gladly greeted by many of his former eong'regation; he had been attending the funeral of Mr 3. McKinley, of the Goshen Line, Stanley, brother of Rev. G. McKinley, of Hensall, and -vas the .guest of Mayor Doherty while here; he ts as genial and Jolly as ever. Speaking of the induction of Rev. W. Craig,. late of St Paul's church, Clinton, the Petrolia Topic says: -"We take this opportunity of congratulat- ing RR- Mr Craig upon the• most sat- isfactory feeliug that exists between himself and the congregation of Christ church already, and we confidently predict that his residence here will be of many years duration, and his work of much profit to the church and its people." The Petrolia Advertiser says: -"On Sunday evening last Christ church was filled to the doors with an attentive cougregation, representing every re- ligious denomination, sect and creed in the community, to witness the in- duction of Rev. W. Craig, B. D., as Rector. The ceremony was performed by the Bishop of Huron, assisted by Rev. W. Murton Shore, incumbent of Ailsa Craig. His lordship preached a wonderfully instructive and most in- teresting sermon, from the first and following verses of the thirteenth chapter of St.Mattliew's gospel, and at the close commended the new Rector to the congregation, bespeaking their sympathy and encouragement for him in a warm and earnest manner that must have touched the hearts of all present. That the congregation will respond heartily to His lordship's ap- peal, we have no doubt. The longer Mr Craig remains with us the more we like hiro, and we have no fears for the prosperity of the church under his guidance." Last Friday afternoon Rev. J. Edge received a telegraphic message of the following sorrowful import: -"Your father was killed this afternoon by horses running away." He left by'the first train for his father's home, near Durham, and arriving there found that after completing threshing at his own farm his father had started to drive the engine to a neighbor's when the horses became unmanageable and wa npset the engine, in- stantly killing him. His regs, arms and back were broken. He was an up- right, honest christian man, and high- ly esteemed in the neighborhood where he lived. The terrible accident causes feelings of sorrow in all hearts and the most heartfelt sympathy is felt by everyone for Rev. INIr Edge and his family in their sore affliction. Bereavements have fallen in rapid succession upon them during the past year or so. A few months before coming to Acton Mrs Edge's mothen was called to her eternal home. A year ago last week the parsonage here was visited by death and a bright little two-year-old son was taken; the following week Mrs Edge's brother was instantly killed on his farm near Owen Sound, and last Friday the sad fatality above recorded was added to the long list. It is indeed hard to un- derstand such frequently recurring occasions for mourning the loss of loved ones, but the allwise Father knows and we shall understand here- after.-Acten Free Press. Toronto Wheat 66 Barley 50 Oats 28 What a farce the Prohibition Com- mission is, anyhow. Just a few months ago the people of Manitoba, by a large majority, expressed them- selves as favorable to prohibition, yet this intelligent commission solemnly went up to that Province the other day to find out what they thought on the liquor question. The whole thing is simply a big picnic for the members that will cost the people of Canada a considerable surn,without the slightest particle of benefit. In one of the townships of Oxford it has already been decided to abolish the statute labor system and levy a road tax instead. In East Zorra the electors will on:January next be asked to approve a by-law authorizing the adoption of the same course in that township. This is one really practical step in the movement to secure an im- provement in country roads. Statute labor commuted at seventy-five cents R.Aos, The Refor,» convention of West Iltb len met at Goderich, on Velrlay, and was well represented from every poll - Ing PubdI'Ylsicon, Tb() chair was oceit- pied by A. E. Manning, of Clinton, If the Ontario Government wishes to show that it is Reform in more than name alone, it has a splendid op- portunity to pass a law saying that no member of the legislature shall be ap- pointed to any office in the gift of the legislature, until after he has ceased to be a member thereof for at least one or two years. When this matter was alluded to at the Liberal conven- tion in Goderich, last Friday, and ap- pointments made while the appointee was a member of the House strongly condemned, there was a burst of ap- plause which showed unmistakeably the sympathy of those present. Here is a good chance for the government to show that it is willing to amend wrong systems wherever they exist. Further, when vacancies occur, they should -be-filled- within a, reasonable time. The Registrarship of North Middlesex has been vacant for some- thing in the neighborhood of three years, and as there is a split in the party as to who should get this posi- tion, no appointment has yet been made. The government should inti- mate that a decision ;ought to be ar- rived at immediately. Some Plain Truths from an Unexpected Quarter Mr Armstrong, the new president of --- the TorontosConservative Club, evi- dently does some thinking for himself, and if he goes on talking as he has started, will cause a sensation in that Jtarty. In his inaugural address the 7. . other night he told some plaifftrtitliV and it is quite evident he did not allow any of the older heads to review his speech beforehand, or they would never have allowed him to give ueter- ance to such statements as the fol- lowing: - per day even will prodsce 'better re- sults than have been attained under a system that was long slice sot of date. "In Dominion politics the policy of the country is formulated and direct- ed by nominally fourteen men, but practically three or four of the Cabinet dictate everything, and they are as autocratic as the Czar of all the Rus- sias. We. who form the party through- out the length and breadth of the country, are simply commanded to vote and think as they direct, or else get out of it. Now, then, I think you will at once agree that this is not being governed by the party, and for the party, except you donsider that these men have by some divine right consti- tuted themselves the party. Evident- ly a large section of the public think so, or it would not be permitted; yet at the same time I cannot help bet feel that such a proceeding is deroga- tory to the party, derogatory to the best interests of this beloved Canada of ours. The question as to why thousands are leaving this country every year and going to the United Statet should engage our serious attention, and we should try and solve the problem for it is quite evident that the older heads are not going to do so. I am inform- ed on reliable authority that no less than four thousand have left this city during the past year -left all that was near and dear and gone into foreign exile. In short, gentlemen, there is no concealingin fact that we are be- ing annexed n job lots every week, and there is not a voice being raised against it. There is a hue and cry raised by rev- enue patriots at after-dinner speeches and by some soul -bursting speakers on the stump against annexing our land, but not one word is raised by our politicians, by our patriotic press or by anyone against the United States annexing the brains and muscle of • thifecOuntry in job lots."

Not of taed, diegriut, o ' When Canada is so prosperous, and everybody so contented and happy, and when times are so good, wages so big, work so plentiful and profits so lenge, what could the Grand Jury at the Kingston Assizes have been think- ing about when it said in its presment- ment : With other parts of the Donainion, we rejoice over the fairly -abundant harvest recently gathered, but we de- plore the general dullness in trade, the depression in agricultural lands, and regret the loss of population in this and the adjoining counties. While ad- mitting the difficulties in improving the condition of the people by legis- lation, we would earnestly hope that the Dominion Government niay speed- ily take such steps as May greatly im- prove the circumstances of the agri- culturist and the artisan. presidentof the association, and Wm.

T. tiarrow, solicitor for the mat:wise tion, go" A full explanation of the ac- tion of thespecial corninittee which had the prosecution of the petition against Hon. 3. C. Patterson in charge. 10 Jas, Sutherland, M.P., for Islovth Oxford, who was present at the meeting, was called upon to address the gather- ing, and gave a statement with refer- ence to the prospects of the Reform party. He also paid a high tribute to the ability of Mr M. 0. Cameron, who had been a" Liberal standard-bearer in Huron county for the past quarter of a century. It was with the deepest feel- ing of regret that the leaders of the Liberal party had learned of the defeat of Mr Cameron in West Huron, at the bye -election. He was looked upon as one of the grandest fighting Liberals inCanada, and was respected by his friends as much as he was feared by his opponents for his known ability, his uncompi ising political fighting powers and the high position in which he stood in the councils of his party. Reference was then made to the able leadership of Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, of whom every Canadian Liberal would feel proud. Had during his leadership so conducted himself as to gain the love and friend- ship of his followers, and the respect of even his opponents. Mr Laurier was not dishearted or cast down, even though his following in the house was not large, and he hoped in the near future to bring victory to the cause which he espoused. D. A. Forrester, of Clinton, chairman of the committee charged with the conduct of the petition against Mr Patterson, made a succinct statement conceraing the progress of the case in court so far as it had gone. 4rfr. thelifitht 1 Wa4 PreMatUre to Make nomination, but -in adhered tO ake.too otis address te. the Liberals of 'West Uurou ip.F04rvar.y 14(4, and it. hzthe eVent Ofa .v.04,H4e3t trona any .cause, no otbpr candidate Would be _fartheonib* he would carry out thia previous or0- mise, IIe then gave a scathing expos" ure of the tae.ttea of traducing and vili- fying that had ben indulged in against WM, and showed up the cam- paign of scandal and corruption by Which he had been defeated, and clos- ed his.address amidst loud cheers.

A collection of $100 is to be asked for, and as it is to meet church require- ments, there is every probability that the arcount will be given. MR. CAMERON SPEAKS. Mr M. C. Cameron was loudly called fer and took the platform amidst loud and prolonged applause. It pleased him to see that the old spirit still -ani- mated his friends in Huron, that spirit which had been so successful in so many hotly contested elections on his behalf in the. past. Darkness and cloud and mist had temporarily ob- scured the Liberal horizon in West Huron, but the clouds were breaking, and the light of success would again be _the portion of the Liberal party in this riding. After the election in February last and before he left for his southern home he issued an address to his friends, in which he stated that in the event of a vacancy being created in West Huron he would again lead the Liberal party, if no other candidate was available and the party called for him. To that promise he was still ready to adhere. He was still ready to fight to the last inch for whosoever would be selected to carry the Liberal banner. For himself in the matter of the petition he was willing to abide by the decision of the committee. He then entered into a detailed account of how the riding had been stolen from the Liberals at the last election, and closed a magnificent address amidst loud and prolonged applause. A resolution was carried unanimous- ly endorsing the conduct of Hon. Wil- frid Laurier as leader of the Opposition in the Dominion Parliament, ancl pledgs ing him unswerving support in the time to come. A resolution endorsing the Govern- ment of Sir Oliver Mowat in Ontario was also passed. It referred to his ad- ministration in general, and alluded to the fact that he had been in office for a longer period continuously than any other man in an English speaking country. Before this resolution passed it gave rise to a warm discussion. Mr Cameron said that the general policy of the Ontario Government was to him satisfactory, but he took decided issue with Sir Oliver Mowat on certain points. He objected to the effort re- cently made by the Premier to stifle open and free discussion upon the fu- ture -of-this- eountry- by the dismissal of Mr Elgin Myers from the county at- torneyship of Dufferin. Free speech was a fundamental principle of the Liberal party, and he and thousands of others in Canada believe that the 'deathlyof -this-country .was .a legiti- Mate subject -for discussion by the peo- ple of Canada, whether laymen or offi- cials. Then he objected to members of Parliament being appointed to public offices by the Government which they supported. His third objection was that SirOliverMowat had shown a bad example by accepting a title which was foreign to the genius of the people of this democratic country. Mr McGilli- cuddy did not oppose the resolution generally, though he expressed his ap- proval of the remarks of Mr Cameron. Mr Garrow defended Mr Mowat so far as his action relating to Mr Myers was concerned, but admitted that his acceptance of knighthood was not in keeping with Liberal principles. He thought his administration. on the whole, was one of which any country might be proud. The following resolutions were then carried amidst the wildest enthusiasm: Moved by Joseph Williams, Goderich, seconded by Joseph Griffin, reeve of Ashfield, "That this convention rejoic- es to have this early opportunity to place on record its great pleasure and satisfaction, a plea,sure and satisfaction shared in by the Liberals not merely of West Huron, but of the Dominion at large, that the moral character of our standard-bearer, Mr M. C. Cameron, so long identified with this riding as the local leader of the Liberal party, has been, by the recent legal:investi- gation, fully vindicated and establish- ed, notwithstanding the most virulent and persistent efforts of his political opponents to destroy him by their false and scandalous charges of im- morality." Moved by Hugh Girvin, deputy - reeve of Ashfleld, seconded by C. See- ger, "That this convention, in the event of:a vacancy occurring from any cause in the riding representation in the House of Commons, now do nomi- nate our old friend and representative, M. C. Cameron, as the Liberal candi- date, assuring him of the unanimous support of all his old friends, and promising, as we may well believe we may, the support of many )(avers of fair play throughout the riding, not before his friends, who cannot but have been disgusted at the recent ,dastardly treatment which he has re - tatted front a section of the WM r Conserve: T \ mveithrirtki eittersI i he regollitiOtt caried amidst RK Miller that in the opinion of this • • , conVention, the question of dealing with the protest in all its phrases be left in the hands of the comraittee al- ready appointed, to deal with in what- ever way they deem hest, not alone in the interest of the Liberal party of Huron., but aliyain tire interest of the Liberal party a the -whole Dorninion, and that in case the protest be proceed- ed with, this convention pledges itself to see that the necessary funds to meet solicitors expenses, etc., be provided. Moved by (Asps Williams, seconded by FrankHodgens that this convention expresses its great pleasure at the pres- ence of its esteemed President, Mr A. H. Manning, in its midst, and while recognizing his able services in the in- terest of the Liberal party in this rid- ing, we especially trust that he may be speedily restored to complete health and strength. On motion, the convention adjourn- ed, to meet again at the call of the chairman. Division Court. The regular sittings of the Division Court were held here on Friday last, His Honor Judge Doyle presiding. The members of the legal profession pre- sent were Messrs Campion, Proudfoot, Hartt and Scott. Although there was not a long docket, yet the cases set down occupied the attention of the judge from about nine in the morning till six in the evening. The following cases were disposed of :- Smith v Cantelon.-An action for wages brought -by -Levi Smith against -Arthur Cantelon for $90.28, balance claimed to be due for wages for the years 1887-88 and '89.

Rowell v Colles. -Action upon a note for $90, dated 4th April, 1881, purport- ing to he made by Mary McAllister, now Mary Colles, in favor of the deft., Thos. F. Colles, or order, and by him endorsed to the deft. The note was sued in 1888, neither of the defendants disputing, and judgment was signed against them both, upon which execu- tion was issued and returned nulla bona, whereupon judgment was trans- ferred to the County Court, to reach the lands of Mrs Colles, who then moved to set the judgments aside and for leave to defend. This was granted upon her paying the costs of the pie- vious proceedings. Mrs Colles' defence is that she never signed the note. Her co -deft. says that the note was given for a buggy and harness sold her by him, and that he saw her sign the note. Judgment reserved. Scott for plff., Proudfoot for deft. Doherty v McCrea. -Action by W. Do- herty & Co. against J. G.

The deft's. contention is that this court has no jurisdiction. Judgment re- served. Scott for Off., Campion for deft. McLaughlin v Snell. - Action upon a note alleged to be made by the deft. in favor of the late Thos. McLaughlin, brought by the administrator of his estate. The defence is that note sued upon is a forgery, and has referenee to . genuine tote Vvhich VMS paid by deft. Rev. James Grey, Secretary of the superanuatian fund of the Methodist church, and one of the best known ministers of the denomination, though for some years past on the retired list, died suddenly on Saturday morn- ing while engaged on his duties at the Wesley buildings, Toronto. He was sitting at his desk writing when he was heard to give a groan. Assis- tance was at hand immediatel7 but he was already dead. Heart disease is supposed to have caused death. De- ceased was about 70 years of age. He was for three years pastor of Ratten- bury street Methodist church, and was a very fine minister. He leaves a wife, but no family. At the regular meeting of the Quart- erly board of Rattenbury St. church, on Tuesday evening, the following stewards were re -appointed, viz: -W. R. Lough, W. Doherty, H. Stevens, W. Cantelon, S.

The flames spread through ' the barn before the machine could be stopped, so that the men in the mow had sot time even to save their clothes which they had laid off, and barely escaped with their lives. The machine had only been at work a few hours and not a single article could be removed from the burning build- ing. It contained the season's crop off a hundredacre farm, all of_which was de- stroyed, together with lwo sepefator- threshing machines and other implements. The loss will be quite heavy as there was only a smelt insurance. --- Household furniture of E. E. Hayward, on Sat, urday, Nov. 5th. 1/ Dickinson, Auct. gew Advartiotrianto. FOR SALE OR TO LET.
