Hence tliey have boycotted U8 and even had th« temerity to uiiike free with our reputation as a pulilic man, althouah not one of them can successfully chariie us with partiality in local or po- litical atfairs. We tfiv« evt>ry man â€" Re- former or Conservative, blnck or white, Catholic or Protestantâ€" a fair hearin;; in our columns and bonny fair play in ever}' instance ; and there is not that gentle- niun livinij who dare diBput« the fact. Often â€" contrary to tlie established usa- ges of journalism â€" we have published matter Intended to do us no ^ood, simply fr(jQi a desire to let the public see both sides of the (question. But wo do not, and never have, taken credit for tliia, as we only followed the protnptii%s of ct>n- science. All wo ask â€" and have a right to expectâ€" is to be accorded that liberty of speech and action we allow to others. But boycott or no boycott, Thk Advance will continue to speak plainly, freely and fearlessly on all matters of interest to the general public â€" giving "the truth, the whole truth and notJiing but the truth" according to the light G<'<d Las given us. Wo wisli every man well, bo he friend or foe, and have not the slightest desire to return evil for evil. But stf King aa we have power to wield the pen, wicked deeds shall be exposed, aud the people's best intereala promoted to the exttmt of our humble ability, Nothing shall cause us to swerve for one instant from the course we have mapped out for uurself in matters political, inoml or religious. In everything wo shall, as in the past, give foKh no uncertain .souiida. We have never received a dollar from any politi- cal organization, society or corporation which we have not earned by hard and honest labor. Thus, untrammelled by (larttzau or other influences, we luive al- ways endeavored to give publicity to tin- biased and honest sentimentt â€" heedless alike of the frown of bigotry aud preju- dice and the cavilling of qumidam friends. All we ask is a fair beariiiv; and an hon- est criticism befut« thu bur of public opinion. McrhMiies luHtitpte. * Editor All ai}ice: Glad to see you niov- injg in the direction tff <ia^Ni»'iimjt a..

Thrilling Adventure of Tommy C alien, and Churlie Jteid. Election Reportti. Our favorite daily, the Toronto World, furnished the public with the most trust- worthy reports, concerning the result of the recent Dominion Elect lona, of any paper we have seen. The Worid'n esti mate of the result -'/i/orf; the elections came otf â€" was so remarkably correct, that we honestly think that journal is entitled to take its place in the very front rank of Canadian joiirnallsni. We have admired tho honesty and straightforwardness of the Vfiiild in all public matters, but nev- er have >ve admired it more than at this moment. An Election Episode. Mr. J. Gordon Mow.tt ("Moses 0»t8'') addressed a ineefingof eleotors in Osprcy Township recently in tho intt-re-sts of Mr. Robt. Gilray, and, in the course uf his remai'ks, predicted tho defeat of Dr.' Sproulc. Our townsman, M. Richardson, EJeq., ne.xt .spoke, and, it is needless to say, made a .splendid speech. Before tak- ing liis seat, liowuver, he alluded to Mr. Mowat's prophecy, and said, â€" amid roars of laughter, â€" that if that gentleman's jk)- litical forecasts were as trustworthy as his weather [irogiiostications. Dr. Sproule need have nothing to foiir ! Thu result proved that Mr. Richardsun is something of a "prophet" himself. To Stcek RaLsers. Mr. U. H. Plantt haviug disposed of his well-knowu bull has piirclmsod an- other to take his place. Tho latost im- portation is a maguilicent Diirhaiu bull, thorough bied aud will be at Mr. PlaAtt's farm for service duriuj^ the cominj; season. Those interested in im- proving thoir stock will do well to paste this item iu their almanacs for refer- ence. "Gcnoral Kockwell" is the name of the bull. In a letter to a friend in Flesherton, Mrs. Wni. Culleuâ€" formerly of this placeâ€" rehites the fcdlowing thrilling ad- venture of her son Tommy, and Churlie Reid during a terrific North West bliz- zard. The story is graphically told by Master Tommy himself, us follows ; "On Thursday Charlie Reid and my- self started to taUo our stock about 10 miles, where we ha«l about .'iO tons of hay. The duy w;ui bright and mild. We had rigged up a jumper and hud our tent and bed-clothes and some provisions. There was a camp stove out at the stacks. When we started snow covered the earth to tho depth of about six inches. We got about seven miles when w*> saw the storm coming. I tried to pitch tlie teut and Charlie went to "'round up'' thecattle. The wind and snow came on with such force and suddeiiess ihat I could nut pitch the tent. I waited for Chariie about an hour and he did not come. I then knew he was lust, aud, taking out my gun, I tired shot after shot uiitd he got safely back to me. We then spread the blankets and pulled the tent up over us. We had got our fei't wet in the soft snow and had to hold uur toes in our hands to keep them from freezing. It snowed about H feet that night. When morning came we tried to drive the c<ittle but could not. It wjui blowing a hurri- oane and the therimmifter drtipiwd away down to 40 degrees below zero ! Cliarlie commenced to freeze and •« did I. For- tunately we had kept htjld of th* horses. I got Charlie mounted, as he was not able to stand up. I held hiiii imi and led my horse, and alter awhile the heat of the animals made us feel much warmer. For- tunately we struck tho railway tnuHc and got to a station house â€" frozen, but not seriously. We gut to the house a little after noi;n, having had no fiHid since the morning of the day before. Tho storm lusted tive days. t)ur cuttle drifted be- fore the storm. There are about 1000 head drifting around ; they came with the storui from the West." OFEN DIVISION.
