The Conservative gains now stand Lennox, East Bruce, Soulangee, North Victoria, West Huron, South Ontario, East Hastings, East Simcoe, London, Vandreuil-10 Mr. liobt. Porter, ex -member for West Huron, did grand service for the Conservative party in East Bruce and East Simcoe. Both con- stituencies returned Grit members a year ago by means which the olec• tion courts declared to be illegal. In the bye -elections they both re- turned Conseavativee. Mr. Porter was one of the chief campaign •speakers, and though he could not kick successfully against the prioke, a year ago, in this riding where he manfully and alone fought a brave fight, he has now shown what mettle he was made of-by:...being largely instrumental in redeeming two constituenoies, one of which at least was considered a forlorn hope. -But this time he did net fighteinglkr handed, ifand his aledge-hamtner driven arguments were sent home by him in a most convincing manner and clinched by his fellow oam- paignera in such an effectual man - as to redeem the two ridings nam- ed.

Clinton offers exceptional facile= ties for various kinds of industrial factories. Now is the time to suggest, agitate and encourage such. If business men will only look over the very large quantities of import- ed goods which could be advantagc- ouely manufactured in Canada, they will surely find lines in which they can profitably engage. If some one more conversant with such matters will only take this matter up we will gladly givo space for all suggestions in this direc- tion. We are often confronted with the amount of manufacturing enter- prise that prevails in even smaller towns in the States. Our people nay they have a larger market there than we have, consequently they succeed Thie is a grand mistake. Those engaged in manufacturing in the States outnumber those sc engaged in Canada in a greater ratio, population considered. That is there are more people employed at skilled labor in the States in pro- portion to population than there are in Canada. This should not be. The consumption of manufactured goods in Canada is greater per head At 8 o'clock on night of election and several days following, THE CLOSING SCENE. The wind up of the campaign in Went Huron was fittingly and mod- erately celebrated in Clinton. After Mr. Patterson had addressed his constituent° in Goderich on the evening of his election, he and his asaistant campaigners and a large nnmber of the representative men of that town came down to Clinton by special -train where he was re• ceived about midnight by an im- mense number of friends who form- ed a procession, lighted np by torches, and escorted him to the Town Hall where he and other pro- minent workers addressed the elec- tors for about two hours, Outside representatives were present from Stratford. Mitchell, Seaforth, Exe- ter, and other pointe, which with a large number of the noble yeomen of stalwart Goderich township gave the member elect ons of the heartiest ovations ever accorded a public man. Trough the air was reasonant both outside and inside the hall with jubilations over the vic- tory in WeetHuron, everything was orderly and nothing that could be legitimately taken as offensive to our opponents was indulged in. The quality of mercy was not strained bnt showered upon those whose mistaken zeal for Mr. Cameron in- duced him against his better judg- ment to take the field in favor of a cauae already lost before the elec- tors pronounced upon it.

Let Canadians divest themselves of this depressing bugaboo of 60,000,000 of neighbors who can beat all creation, Canada included. Let our people take a practical and statistical view of the position of this country and its 5,000,000 of people. If they do they will get rid of the 60,000,000 people nightmare and awake re- freshed and with a determination to make in tbia country a large pro- portion of the foreign made goods now consumed here. There seems to be one way in -which Canadians thinking ofengag- ing in manufacturing in Canada are misled. They seem to think there is no money in' making articles except such as are severally of considerable value. This is a mistake. There is more money in the manufacture of articles that sell at 25 cents or so, and which are of universal use and demand, and the purchase of which is repeated by the same person many times during during the year, than there is in the manufacture of .pianos that sell at- $500 each but the demand for which is limited and a purchase seldom repeated by the same person during a life time. There are millions of dollars in Canada bringing but a low rate of interest that could be more bene- ficially employed in industrial con- cerns. Let the owners know that such openingsexiet. One wayofdo- ing this is to point out the stability of the National Policy which bas so often_been-endorsed by the people,. and the blessings and utility of which are not recognized to the extent they should be owing to the croaking and faint-heartodnese of senseless, scheming political parti- sans who praise every oountry but their own and correspondingly be- little and depreciate it. Ontario should be the workshop of the larger half of this continent. We have done exceedingly well so far, but we should do even better in the future. Clinton, one of the minor centres of ind'oatrial enter- prise, offer's railway, sanitary,eduaa- tional and social advantages that should attract capitalists on the lines indicated. —From Premier De Boucher- ville's public statement on Thursday night, it is more than likely that Mercier will be arrested before many days on a charge equivalent to common larceny.

One of the questions settled at the recent conference between the Canadian Commissioners and gecre. tary Blaine and General Foster re- preenting the United Stat."e was in regard to the establishment of a boundary line between Alaska and BritiehCol uruble. Preliminary aur - cep, have already beet: made by the United States Coast survey, but hitherto no joint action had been had. The decision reached at the conference was for a joint or inter. national prosecution of the work already begun by the United States. A. question has been raised respect• ing the proper boundary along the Aleutian coast growing out of a difference of interpretation of the treaty provisions on that point, but it is expected that the contemplated survey will furnish all the inforina. tion necessary to reach a harmon- ious adjustment of the differences. At the conference sin agreement was also reached for a more definite .narking of the water boundaries in front of and adjacent to the city of Eastport, Maine, with a view to avoidrng-afry-fur ther trouble-on _the-_ subject of the fishing righta of Canada and the United States in. that locality. It was arranged that an international commission should be appointed to consider and report regulations which way be adopted by the United States and Canada for the prevention of destructive methods of fishing and pollution of streams and for establishing un• iforwity of close seasons and other means for the preservation and in•. crease of fish. An amicable understanding was also reached for reciprocity of services in cases of wreck and cal. vage on the lakes ; and a basis sug- gested for limited reciprocity in the products of both countries. Mr. Thomas Boyd arrived at GodencL _,on 'Cuesdny,laat too late to vote for. Mr. Patterson Mr. Boyd came all the way from Ninza, Manitoba. Mr. Job Brown from Auburn was around here the past week, dealing in horses which he shipped to Manitoba Tuesday of this week. He can supply waggons, buggies, binders, rakes or mowers, in fact anything a farmer may need in that line. He got one horse from John Tiffin, one from Samuel Sheppard, one from Joseph Hetherington, one from `tr. Jackman and two from S. Trelevean. Mrs. Mcllwain ar. died on Satur- day the 19th ult. after a brief illness. She came to the township of Ash- field with her husband when it was a wilderness and by arduous toil they wade for themselves a coms fortable home where they resided till death called her to her rest above. She will be missed by all in the neighborhood, being ever ready to help in time of need. Site was a kind mother, a good neigh, bour and the family have the sym- pathy of the community in their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Tuesday to the Goderich cemetery. Though the morning wee wetthere were 86 vehicles in the procession, showing the great re. - spec; in which deceased was held. AMID Goderich Township. Tuesday of last week was an in- teresting day in more ways than one. West Huron was redeemed on that day, and Mr. Geo. A. Cooper celebrated the event by taking unto himself a bride in the person of Mise Sarah Churchill, of Creeford, Man., and formerly of this township. Rev. Mr. Shilton tied the knot at the Clinton parsonage. We wish Mr. Cooper and bride long life and proeperity, and trust that they will ever celebrate annually the redeem- ing of West Huron to theConserva- tive banner. -Lt 1874 the people of Ontario paid through the department of edu. cation the num of $503,311.77.
