appeals before His Honer Judge Toms
last Friday. Barrister Scott appeared
on behalf of the Reformers and A. M.
Todd on behalf of the Conservatives.

were notified only one appeared and
demonstrated that he was anxious to
exercise the rights of a British subject.
Each side added and struck off about
the same number, equal to between
thirty and forty for each side.

Mr. J: C. Stevenso was returning

churches were not nearly large enough

hear Rev. J. H. Hector, the "Black
Knight." On Sunday morning he
preached in the Rattenhury street,,
church and in the evening in the On-
tario. Monday evening he lectured to
a very large audience on his own life,

Ova OPINION.—The other day THE
NEws-RECORD was tende •ed a ccuple
of COMPLIMENTARY tick is for an
entertainment which, all BUSINESS
dealing,were well paid for. They were
for reserved seats. The manager or
his servant had the "gall" and "worm -
Wood," like thousands of other tramp
and foreign troupes, to refuse what the
"ticket" called for—a reserved seat.
He, however, noticed his "mistake"
when forcibly reminded. The lesson
reminds us that outside tramps are not
worthy of their hire or promises, and
that honorable and recognised merit
only should be patronized by our peo-
ple.

Goderich, Nov. flth, 1894.
In responding, Mr. McNaughton
stated that he knew of no reason for
this public demonstration in his favor.
Ten months ago he had come to this
town to perform a contract for the
Government in connection with the
harbor improvement. Since coming
here he had formed acquaintance, busi-
ness and otherwise, and had endeavor-
ed to conduct himself as any resident
should. He had attended to his own
business and completed th3 public
work, he was pleased to say satisfac-
torily to those from whom he had the
contract, and now on the eve of his de-
parture he had discovered that many
with whom he had associated and
formed friendship were loth to have
him depart without giving what he
considered a very strong evidence of
their regard. He accepted the illumin-
ated address and handsome testimonial
in the spirit in which they were tender-
ed. He hoped to return to Goderich
again, but whether he did so or not he
would always cherish the memory of
the friends he had made in the town
during his residence in 1894. (Loud
applause.)
After the tables had been cleared, a
pleasant time was spent in toast, song
and sentiment. The speeches were
highly laudatory . of the guest of the
evening, and expressed satisfaction at

work at the harbor had been carried

Stn,—Please correct the statement
made by your Holmesville correspond-
ent in your last week's isque that Fred
Elford was taking a dairy course at
the Guelph college to prepare himself
for a position in the nropoaed cheese
factory here. Such is not the case.
He has gone there to complete his three
year's course which is not it dairy
course and even if it was he would not
think of engaging here.
