Since. the Whitney Goverument came into office about 500 officials have been changed. Nearly 300 License Commis- sioners have beau made walk the plant;, 100 Overseers, and close on a 100 made np of Liceuse I specters, Bailiffs and such like. Sheep Bobabas broken out in a few • towuehips of Western Ontario, inoiud- iug Warwick, Brooke and Dawn, and the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture has taken steps to isolate and place under treatment the infected flocks with a view to stamping out the disease as quickly as possible. The movement of sheep within the districts under quarantine is prohibited, At the Monteith banquet Hon. A. Beck charged the late Government with having given away Niagara frauchises for a song, How funny ! Does not Mr. Beck reweniber that Mr. Whitney con- sidered the terms imposed upon these corporations by the Rosa Goverument to be so strenaous that he advocated that the power should be ivade as free as air? Mr. P. H. McKenzie, the able member for South Bruce, has been able to arrange that a day be set apart by the Committee on Agriculture in the House of Oommons to thoroughly investigate the British embargo ou Canadian cattle. Mr. •Mc- Keuzse has made a special study on the gnestiou and the farmers of Ontario may be sure that he will leave nothing un- done that may advance the Iive stock interests. The Peterboro Examiner says: "Some of the railways thiuk that the Govern - meat should not put on additional taxa- tion because the railways have done so ranch for Ontario. And hasn't Ontario done a good deal for the railways? It it weren't for the public a railway system wouldn't be worth the price of junk. The railways make their profits out of the people, and at a good round rate, too. Peterboro shippers who have to pay as much freight charges oh a barrel of flour, package of cereal, or;[baconeau iied to Montreal. as is charged frota Windsor, several hundred miles farther west, wouldn't feel severely pained if a little additional railway taxation were im- posed.,' It is difficult to see what Mr. Gamey hopes to gain by asking a majority of Ms friends in the Ontario Legislature to erase from the record the finding of the commission which heard his case. The evidence was then heard by the people as well as the commission, and the real verdict was registered in the popular .mind. But if Mr. Gamey imagines that the victory of his party at the recent election constituted a review of the vera dict he is mistaken. Hie character was not an issue at the late elections. To a certain ,extent the truth of the oharges which he made were but more in the way of supporting the general opinion of the need for a change than of indors- ing the specific accusations which he Laid at the doors of individuals. If Ma. Gamey bas some new evidence he might move for a new trial, but he will hardly get the people to alter their opinion, formed at the time of the hearing, on the old evidence. They will still want to know why 13e went to Buffalo. - Montreal Star. For Backache and Kidney Disease Dr. Ohase's Kielney.Livor Pills are the most prompt and effeetivs treatment ebtairsabie.

ABRAHAM, I$a [The following lines were composed matey years ago by William Abraham, an ureic of Mr. Thomas Abraham, of Wingham.-En,1 As often I stray by the banks of the Clyde, When the beauties of summer are full in their pride, When the scent of the wild flowers blow fresh in the gale, Aud the lambkins are skipping by hill- side and dale, My thoughts wander back. to a differ ent scene, Mere oft iu niy childhood so happy I've been; 'Mid nature's perfections my bosom does yearn For the homes of my fathers, by bonnie Lough Erne. I think on the scene, so romantic and wild, Where oft I have wandered when I was a Child -- Heard the song of the wild bird, the hunt of the bees, By our sot neatly sheltered by Sycamore trees; Or by old Castle Ferman, so lonely and drear, When the moon sheds her light on the waters so clear, Or gazed on the distant hills rugged and stern, That bounded the border of bonnie Lough Erne. And by bonnie Brook Hill how delight- ful to stray, When the clouds looked like gold at the close of the day, To view the broad picture of water and land So tastefully finished by Nature's own hand; Where the neat town of Pettigoe stands 'Death the hill, And the brook murmers softly beside the old mill. Through waterfoots, plantains, 'mid brushwood and fern, It wended its way into bonnie Lough Erne. Where I've rowed 'mong the Islands or round the calm shore, When the boat lightly speeds by the stroke of the oar, When the blue sky refleoted in the waters below, And the boats gliding swiftly, their sails like the snow; Where the sweet little islands in the brightest of green, Aud the purple clad hills, in the distance are seen, Like the maidens so lovely and the heroes so stern, Around sweet Fermanagh and bonnie Lough Erne. Bat why do I ponder on scenes such as these, Or muse on our homestead, among the green trees ; For when'eer I think of them, a clouds on my brow, The friends whom I loved then---ahl where are they now? Alas! they are scattered -some laid in their graves; And many have wandered across the wild waves, To Canada's wild woods, a living to earn, Far, far, from the green banks of bonnie Lough Erne. On bold Portnablithe I • may wander no more, Nor stray 'mong the bushes along the green shore, Where the ash and the hazel luxuriant- ly grow, And rustle their leaves as the breeze gently blow; No mora may I visit these dear scenes again, Nor wander at evening adown the old lane, Where the thrush sings sosweetly at evening and morn, Among the green bushes by bonnie Lough Erne. Dames AND PILR'S. A prolific cause of Piles is the use of cathartics and pills of a drastic, violent nature, which is always followed by a reaction on account pf the resinous, dry- ing properties they contain. There are other causes, but no matter what the cause or what the kindof Piles. Dr. Leonhardt's Hem -Reid can be relied upon to cure -to stay cured. It's an internal remedy that removes the causes of Itehiug, Blind, Bleeding or Stippnrating Piles. A guarantee goes with each package containing a month's treatment. It can be obtained for $1.00 at drug- gists', or The Wilson-Fyle Co., Limited, Niagara Fans, Ont. Dairy Pointers. If the butter does not come properly, put a handful of salt in the churn, The cream should be churned at about 55 degrees in summer, a little higher in winter. The room in which the churning is done should be kept at an even tem- peratnre and not colder than the tem- perature of the cream, The churn should hot be moved too rapidly as it injures the grain of the but- ter, When the batter begins to form in grains, cold Water of brine should be dashed, in the churn, which will separate the butter from the buttermilk and leave it in kernels about the size of wheat grains. The butter should be washed until the Water runs clear. The butter worker should be scalded and cooled with ice water and the but- ter lifted from the churn to it. About an otinde of any' pare salt should be eifted over the whole enrftlee, and about a tablespoon of fine gegen' to ten pounds of butter added, and the whole worked through carefully. Stop working before the grain of the butter le broken. Given good cream it cadets no more to make fine butter than ft does to turn out an inferior article. It fr simply doing the work in the right way. iii= ! - -- TOWN DIRECTORY. TWENTY YEARS AGO .nn ('HE WINGIraet Tivas of b`ri t ty, April 2414, 1885.) LOOM, NEWS, St ra., hats. Dot toorgames.

They then became unmanageable and ran off the road into the deep water near the bridgo. Discovery of Maple Siyrtitt. Maple syrup was discovered by a woman's carelessness, so the legend runs. Onco on a time --Springtime, long ago -an Indian squaw Was cooking venison for her husband. There were no game laws in those days. While the fire burned and the treat cooked the squaw mused. She awoke to find the meat burned. Rushing to a dripping maple tree near by she seized a moceasin, filled it with the dripping ,lake of the tree and throw it on the bnrnilig meat, The result was a cake of pare maple sugar. The husband ate it and howled for mere. Trying to provide it she diaootiered Local history of the early 80$. I Items from The "Tinges" fyles. P1 1i.SO:iAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. H. W, C.

The funer- al took place on Wednesday, and the de- ceased being a member of the Masonic order the brethren of the Wingham and Blyth lodges atteuded the funeral and paid their Inst respects to their late bro- ther. The usual spring floods have not fail- ed to put in an appearance. It bas been with us the greater part of this week. The water is quite high, submerging the roads in many. places. Although not nearly sp high as on some former floods the water proved high enough and heavy enough in volume Thursday morning to sweep away Messrs. Johnston and Turner's dam and carry it some distance down the stream. The loss to Messrs. Johnston and Turner will be heavy and was altogether unex- pected as the dam was a new one and supposed to be strong enough to with- stand the flood, as having been broken last year it was rebuilt by Mr. Arch. Fisher, an expert in such matters. NEIGHBORING NEWS. There are over twenty grocery stores in Clinton. Mr, A, Taylor, of Belgrave, has taken out an auctioneer's license for the town- ship of Wawanosh.

Poor Highwvays Make Life More Ma* pensive, While improved Ronda lsi-•, crease Earrm Values and Add to am Comforts of the ?eoole.. At the southern good roads conven- tion iif. A. Bays of the land and indus- trial department of the Southern rail- way made a notable address in regard to good roads. Mr. Hays said In part; "The bad common road, which is the ordinary common road of today, makes life in country districts, and smaller places more expensive in every way. It destroys social movement, it interferes with church and school, it robs the people of many comforts and attrac-• tions and makes life narrow. In this ` way it drives from the village and farm to the cities the young mon and women, with their productive possibili- ties. Its whole tendency is to congest population in the cities and more than anything else has forced a one sided. development in our national Life. "These are some of the evils and the burdens and the effects of poor roads. What of the influence and the effect of COUNTRY ROAD IN WET WEATHER. good roads? Fortunately we do not have to go to foreign lands nor even to, other sections of our country for proof" as to their desirability and for their value. "They have reduced the cost of fermi production wherever built. "They have increased the value o1[ farm lands from 25 to 100 pee cent. "They have made available for culti- ration wider areas of territory. "They have attracted immigration; they have given to old farms thought valueless a good value by enabling owners or tenants to make them profit- able. rofitable. "They have made the village mer- chant, mote prosperous. "They have built factories; they haver aided in the growth of cities. Inciden- tally they have added to the traffic of railroads. ' "Of other benefits of even greater im- portance, they- have made a better class of citizens; they have brought about better methods of agriculture; they have improved the schools by, increasing public revenues and ena- bling teachers and schools to serve a. larger area; they have added in every way to the comforts of the people; they have in a measure turned back the tide toward the city by bringing people from the city into the country districts for homes. "The benefits from improved public roads is so great that it is the utmost wisdom and economy for a .community. to issue bonds or to levy taxes to build improved roads which can be used all the year round, and these benefits are so sure and so great that the commu- nity will not feel the tax half so much as it does the taxes wasted on poor roads --in fact, that there will be no burden at all in providing them, and. no Pennma canal and no other proposi- tion or enterprise will have so much influence in the development of the country as a system of good roads.

A few miles from Big Rapids resides a woman who is doing what she can to pay the rent on her privilege of being in the world. She cultivates a truck farm and hauls her produce to the city.
