THE HUMDER PIGGERY The Hninber piggfry case has now got far boyond the amuHing point, and its extreme seriouancHS is apparent to all who have followed it. Farnisrs arc asking lliemselyes what jusliiied the government in entering into a apcculatiou of this nature, anyway ? It was not to serve any scientilic pur- pose, and evidently only to speculaie in pork and incidentally to give a position to some supporter. The apccnlatiun luriiod out poorly but the " position " siill remiins.

Di .Garmsa points Out that it is Queen's College and the position of the man that gives weight to the Btateraeuts as published over the principal's signature. The same f.entiments expressed by any unknown man would never be heeded. King- ston appears to be very prolific in Ecclesiastical curiosities, and few cities of its size can boast eif two such iutorestiug specimens as Dr. Grant and Mgr. Cleary. Were it not for these gentlemen that little ciiy would only be kuowu as tlie i^etreat of bad men who wish to retire from active life for a time.

The weather was line and C'lld, ihe roads fairly good and voters turned out in full force. In Wbrd 1, Mr. Muir came within fourof defeating the old repieseiitativo, Mr. McMlllen. Two yearn aijo, when these two ucntlemen ran aKainst each utlier, the difference between thum was eleven. This shows that the popularity uf the two men is very evenly divided in their ward. Mr. Beat t;ot snowed under by Mr. McTavish, the latter gentlemdii taking a majority over both his opponents. In the Kugenia ward, althuUk'h nu vute fur councillur waa required, • large vute fur reeroship re.<iultcd. Dr. Christoe has again been called to preside in the reeve's chair, al- though by a somewhat reduced majority over the figures with which he gained victory ill years past. Taken altouother we (>eliovo the council for I8U8 will be very fully worthy of the contidenea of thu electors. Those of the old council who have been relumed have found rocks from which it will ^e wise to steer away and the vote thisy. ar lias been produc live of good ill many diroctiuns. Wo be- liero that no township in the county is iiioie fully alive to the welfare uf their own municipality than is Artenies:a. The very large reprntentation at nomina- tion and thu lar.;e vuto polled 011 Mon- day fully demonstrates this. Following IS the vutcs in full as recorded by Clerk Bellamy : FOR REEVE Christoo.
