Well, spring is on us again-Und summer will soon be here. And then harvest and good crops• of vein,Lfrd t ondetet" ion is this steam _ • •ih t31 neat to ill i sea ng hew wo would .get the products of •our farms to market. Tlsen 1 ernewberod seoaethiug had been said about a pro.pessed railway pass- ing through ,hec•e to Goderich. And I meutally ehowered blessings •en the Ulan who invented railroads and his successors who shall .give us .this needed aocernodation. Indeed I think the tailv.•ay man is more to be blessed that the man who inveu- ted•sleep, that ie than the mai who invents excuses'for iudulgiug'in sleep to excess. However all this may be wo want a railway through here. But I understand that the Goderich people are opposed to it louring it alight cut off a large slice of their country trade 'without giving any y compeueating advantages. )row it is about time that the farmers began to look out -for themselves. It would pay the townships cornering here to give Liberal bonuses to get the proposed •railway, buvv I am afraid that we 'farmers areteo penny wise and pound foolish to look at it in that light, It would riot only pay the farmet'c to have a railroad running through hero but it would pay the railway company. The a mount of grails., cattle, horsoe, sheep and apples raised and aold in this vicinity would startle newsy on account of its er0Ormons proportions, Take apples Moue, I was talking with the Messrs, Cook, of Clinton, who purchased largely in this north ern section of the county last year and their figures amazed ole. I� forget the number of barrels of ap- ples raised in the vicinity and which would have been shipped from Dungannon, but had to be sent elsewhere for want of railway faeilities .here. In this connection I may say that the Messrs. Cook have been grafting scions on apple trees and placed about 7,000 scions in the last few weeks. In the mat- ter of the railway it is difficult to say which objective point, Port Albert or Goderich will help us carry out the scheme. Though Port Albert is tsetse commodious a harbor as the other nor so well able to give a bonus, it is quite possible that a line to that point would have some advantages in the larger local traffic that would be obtainable than could be secured by going to Goderich. In fact some of the Port Albert people contend that with a railway to their village and the expenditure of only a trifle of money compared with what ie required at Goderich they would have the best harbor oft the east shore of Lake Huron and thus secure the lion's share of in• coming and outgoing lake traffic.

Gardening is the order of the day and all the villagers and their wives are in it. The fish peddlers at :the harbor are having a big run and leave Neil's fish house meet every mdrning loaded. A large dredge and scows in tow of two tugs passed up the lake on Saturday morning. Her destine. tion was not known to this port, but several parties declared they w=ould like to see her come in here and "sling mud" for a couple of weeks. I presume Kincardine is the lucky spotahe is bound for. If the water in Lake Huron don't 'brace up" pretty soon a dredge will be wanted in almost every harbor along the coast. Notwithstanding the heavy rains and cold weather the spring trope in this neighborhood look well. A large number of acres have been sown.

THE DOMINION PARL/A- MENT. r'liETHER OPPOSITION IN COMMITTEE OF suroLY, =Ottawa, Ont., May 19.—Tire Speaker toolr the chair at 3 p. in. THE CRIMINAL LAW. 'The House again went into corae nrittee on the Criminal Law Amend- ment Bill. Mr. Mulock seriously objected to rseetion 104, which reads as follows --swEveryone is gui•Ity of an indicts able allelice and liable to imprison- ment for life who is found with any goods liable to seizure or forfeiture under any law relating to inland re• venue, the customs, trade or naviga- tion and carrying offensive weapons, or in any way di,tguised." He de- clared that nearly every person crossing the frontier into Canada carried some goods liable to customs duty, and if they happened to have fire arms in their possession, for even innocent purposes, they were made liable to imprisonment. Nearly every person crossing from Detroit to Windsor, he believed, brought in dutiable goods without paying duty. Sir John Thompson said the clause was a'necessity for the protection of revenue officers against violence by smugglers, who nearly always went armed. The clause was finallyadopted. Another intpresting section which provoked opposition is as follows :— "Every one is guilty of an in- dictable offence and liable to one years imprisonment who publiehea any false news or tale whereby injury or mischief is occasioned to any public or private interest." Mr. Davies objected to thio, and at this request it was allowed to stand. After recese, consideration of the Criminal Code was resumed in Committee of the Whole. To the provlwioue dealing with corrupt practices in tuuuicipal aflatirs, a clause omitted by oversight from the draft Bill was added, mak- it en indicateble ottence to traffic in appointments or resignations, and it is enacted that in addition to the penalties otherwise provided for, the offender shall forfeit any right which he may have in the office, and shall he disqualified for life from holding the same. At the suggestion of Mr. Masson it was agreed to insert a clause at a later stage to make members of Part'.: i and of Provincial 'Legi,latur . amenable to the same (pulli. cert or c tpractices in =connection wit 1 'tr offices tee mem• here of iuunicpal co. tells. At nine o'clock the committee ose and reported progress. SUPPLY. The Howie then went into Conn, mittee of Supply. Tito iteru of $5,000 to complete the L.tpralrie post office discussed for several hours last evening wars again taken up. The Opposition tactices of the pruvinus evening were resumed and one member after another arose to talk against time in pursuance of the obstructive policy lately adopted. Cul. O'Brien said the Govern stent, having commenced this work two years ago, were bound to go on with it, and • it was not reasonable to ask them to abandon the vote. He felt that ' the present factious obstructiou was very bad tactics. Shortly before midhiight the Opposition paused for breath, and tl.e it( us was de:lsred carried. An important feature in connection with this vote was that the appros priatiou was originally made by the Grits. The programme was, however, recommenced on the next vote, that for the completion of the post office at St. Henri, a suburb of Montreal. Mr, Campbell wished to know if a building could not be rented at smaller cost. 'Hon. Mr. Oitmiet replied that perhaps some kind of a building might be rented at a low figure. It -woe onenehvwever;-ere•poikiy Government tocarry ori the public business in shanties` He did not think that Mr. Campbell wade any objection when is few years ago a re- spectable post office was built at Chatham, in his constituency. Mr. Lister, in continuing the dies cussiou, referred to the North Perth election case as an evidence that the Ontario electorate joined in the con, dewnation of the Government, even though the Secretary of State hod been present with the influence sup- posed to be required, and which a little bird said certain gentlemen of the Senate had contributed. Hon. Mr. Ouirnet said the Oppo• sition seemed to think it a great event when they even held one of their constituencies, but the Govern. rent could stand such argument. He felt that, judged by this test, they were well endorsed by the peo- ple of Ontario. Alter further discussion, Mr. 1',Ic• Millan, of Huron, rose' to talk about the post• office acommodation in his riding, but such a confusion of sounds ensued from the back benches on the Government side that he could not be heard, Mr, Lister then shoved the come mittee rise, and a vote being taken the motion was lost by 23 to 58. Mr. McMillan then proceeded amidst great disorder. CURRENT TOPICS'. ALT. . THE SAME AS WHITE MAN. There is a world of satiric mean• ing in a recent rernark of Mr. Tsiri Kwo Gin, Chinese minister at Washington, who, after referring in an interview to the uncon• stitutional action of the Gover- nment regarding the Chinese, pro. seeded as follows : " I hold to the position that if the United States wishes to put a stop toChinese immigration it should be done by means of a treaty with my country. For tbe United States to agree to a treaty providing for the admission of Chinese and then to overrule it by an Act of Congreee is hardly acting in good faith. One side has all to say and the other side is not considered at all. Now the United States is known to be guided in all its diplomatic mats tore always and Rolely by a sense of justice and right." The last sentence is particularly good.—Empire. STICK TO THE LAND 08' THE MAPLE LEAF Each day brings fresh evidence that Canadians who have forsaken their naive laud . for the .Ueited States are greatly disappoieted in their ;IOW Ful rUnbdl►I a. 'rhe la teat person to admit that he Medi+ a mistake in crossing the border is a Cornwell luau, wlto (+rites to thu Standard from Ot egos, as follows : "1 find thlt.

The whole Pacific coast serine to be sutferieg from dt.preasiort, "'except perhaps British Columbia, which ie having quite a boom over the dis- covery of valuable mineral fields. I would advise Canadians to stick to their owe country and not come to the United States, even though thit.ts don't look es promising as they could wish iu the laid of the maple." C URRENT TOPICS. COLLECTIVELY, eon INDIVIDUALLY, The Toronto News says, and we have a . similar opinion :—"Ald. Leslie, the Be:forte candidate M. East York, (lid not indulge in any fool talk when, during the re- cent' campaign in East York, he characterized the United States. as "the meanest nation on the face of the earth." It is not necessary to Ko back to ancient hise tory and rake up the story of the forged map by which Canada was dune out out of a Targe slice of ter, ritory, or to refer to to the denial of compensation for damages sues twined by this country during the Fenian raid, in order to prove the truth of Mr, Leslie's assertion. In- stances which illustrate the nation, - al meanness occur almost daily. Tumbling a score of French-Cana- dians from a train as it crossed the border between Quebec tend the States was one ;"driving three hon• dred of our fellow citizens employed at Buffalo hack to Ontario was an, other; in the refusal to allow any but United States citizet:s to serve on lake yeasels flying the American flag is found still another evidence of Yankee pettiness, and the national characteristic was even more sulk. itigly exemplified In the action taken t0 prevent a lot of poor seametresses .living in Sarnia from eareing their livelihood across the river in a por-. tion of the continent to which we all belong, but which is' con trolled by the Yankees, If Ald. Leslie erred at all, it was in that the expression he made -use of was not strong enough. Individually the Americans may be all right ; collectively they are the meanest people on the face of the eorth." NEWS NOTES. —At St'Cnsimer, Q , Tefl10 La- quel'1•e, aged 23 years, attacked young girl to whom lie had propos - oil marriage and been rejected, nam- ed Honoraino Godin, with an axe, having crept up behind her while she was out walking with two fe- male friends, dealing her a blow with the weapon across the head, felling her to the ground, Her companions rushed 10 her assistance, while the cowardly • assassin t1trery th'e axe down malls for a hash. The girl is dying, and her assailant is iu custody. —A Calgary despatch says that Mr. McMillan, a farmer of Fish Creek. on going to the residence or M. F. W. Ii. Barlow, found him lying on the floor dead in a pool of blood with a gun wound in the neck, the weapon lying beside him. Deceased came to this country from Bolton, Lancashire, Englnnd, on January 1st last, settling on a sec- tion. TTe engaged edr. McMillan to build a house for him on the place and w'nnt to live there two weeks ago. Mr. McMillan had oc- casion to visit the place 3 osterday. Get.tine no response to a knock, he raised the latch to enter, and found • the body as above described. De- ceased was nbont forty years of age, unmarried and eeemingly in good circumstances. —A peculiar cavo of poisoning is reported from Crawfordville, Incl. At a large party a newfangled lrfss- ing Pomo was introduced which proved very popular. The young men on arriving drew striugs of variegated colors from a box and then selected girla whose dresses matched this string. The -young granger then took one end of the string in his mouth and the girl attached her face in a similar way to the other. Both then chewed up the etring until they were mouth to mouth, when several kisses were exchanged. At the party in ques- tion the person coloring the string. had treed dyes which were not fast and the colors ran. Several were poisoned very seriously and it is feared that one or two cases may re- sult fetidly.
