DR. JAMIESOX had a runaway on Saturday last, but managed to get home with a scratched horse, a slightly domaged buggy and a bust- ed hat. He was driving a new horse he purchased lately in Toronto. afinc high-Spirited animal he felt it a duty to watch carefully.. While in the act of closing a gate through which he passed he held the lines in one hand, but the animal got {right- ened at something and in the jump he. made jerked one line out of the Doctor’s hand. He hung on to the other however and conducted a short term circus, making as many turns in the time as the most experienced politicians are capable of turning out. The buggy fell over on its side and in the meantime something struck the Dr. on the head knocking Arameeting of the Council held on Friday night last an early closing By-law was passed as may be seen in this issue. Farmers and others w-ish ing to transact business in town will remember thatmerchants and others will be held liable for keeping’ tl1e1r places of business open later than hours specified viz, 7 p, m evexy evening except Wednesdays and Sat- urdays. Though it may seem a little hard to comply with such regulations at. first, nearly every one will agree that clerks as Well as others need a little recreation in the evenings, and in most cases business can be done just as well during legitimate busi- ness hours. a hole into his hat. Thinking more of his brains than he did of the outfit he let go the other line when the horse ran 05, went through the same gate, crossed a. field and finally he- came so mixed up that he fell flat upon the ground where he was soon reached by the Dr. who was sprint- ing after him in hot haste. The Dr. was now on top, and with the as- fiance of a. neighbor or two who came to the rescue, the mix-up was straightened out and next. heat was conducted without further mishap. ABOUT two months ago it was our sad lot to give notice of the death of Mrs. James Peter. of Normanby. This week we are called upon to Chronicle the death of one of the in- fant quadruplets, txso of whom sm- vived the death of the mother. Mr. Peter is surely having his own share of trouble, and we can fully sympa- thize with him in his sore bereave- ment. One of the {our children is _still living. THE remains of Mr. John Lawrence whose sudden death we announced last week were laid away on Thurs- day afternoon - last in the Hutton Hill cemetery whither they were fol- lowed by a. large concourse of mourn~ ing friends and relatives. It seems hard that an industrious man, in the prime of life should be cut 03 so suddenly. “’8 are pleased to notice by the Glenelg Council that an appropria- tion of one hundred and fifty dollars has been made for improvements on Lambton street. This is certainly. a much needed expenditure, and we feel like congratulating the Council {or their wisdom in the matter. JUSB \VEi)DINGS.--- Are ~vou in search of a wedding gift. W.

Mn. stnr COURDT, of Glenelg, near Bunessan, was in town last week with an Indian war hatchet picked up on his farm a few days be- fore. When found it was pretty badly rusted, but by the aid of a grindstone he has it dressed up so as to present a very respectable appear- ance, which may n01: add much to it as a relic. From the poll to the edge the weapon is about nine inches long and from an inch and a half to two inches wide. How may years elaps- ed since it was 103:. and the strange tales it could tell if endowed with the power of speech would be inter- esting information to the people of the present day. _ It is a number of years since the land was first cleared and how many years previous to that time the hatchet was concealed no one can tell. Mr. Courdt regards it as a valuable relic. THE Christian Endeavor of the Presbyterian Church have engaged the services of Miss Tessa McCallum, of Toronto and Miss Jean Renwick, of Dromore. for their entertainment on Monday evening next, June 18th. Miss Renwick needs no introduction as a Scottish vocalist, and Miss Mc- Callum is so highly spoken of by the press as an elocutionist, that we have no hesitation in promising a first class entertainment.

Personally we have only to say that we have known Mr. Richardson intimately for fifteen years and we have no conscientious scruples in recommending him to the electors as a man of good sterling princiéys, in every walk in life. To pre let the results of the contest would be a little premature, but we hope to see him head the poll at five o’clock on the night of the election whenever it may be. The failure of the Liberal Party to carry out their pre-election promises was also touched upon, and it was pointed out that the failure to de- stroy the protective tariff was in line with the warning of their late leader the Hon. Edward Blake who advised them to let it alone. The address was brief but full of good common political sense. Unlike many he is a Conservative not from chance. Years ago he came to the country without any political predilections. but with an aim to promote the highest interests of our fellowmen, he observed closely the workings of the two political parties. and from careful observation and conviction he decided for the Con- servatives and gave his first vote to the late George Jackson. From that time to the present he has had an unwavering loyalty for Conservatism Mr. Richardson was then called up- on and after thanking the Convention for the confidence they imposed in him, he launched out into a. vigorous but brief political address Wthh showed him a. man well versed in the politics of the time, and a gentle- man whom all present felt proud to regard as the Standard bearer of the Party. At the close of the nominations, the candidates wexe all called to the platfmm and each made a shmt ad- dless expxessixe of his confidence 1n the Conservative party and a deter- mination to support the choice of the Convention in the coming contest. The addresses were, of course, all good, but perhaps with the exception of the candidate, that made by Mr. I. B. Lucas was the most pointed and the most political. The following gentlemen were nominated but. all except Messrs. Richardson, Laidlaw and McKinnon withdrew from {the contest: The candidates werez-M. Richardson, Dr. Jamiesou, M. P. P., the Presid- ent, J. S. Wilson, Chas. Mofiat, John McArthur. Chas. McKinnon, I. B. Lucas, M. P. P,, \V Laidlmv,Thos. Kclls, Geo. Schenk, Jas. Swanston, Jas. Allan, â€"â€" Taylor, and M. Reilly. The ballot was then taken and on announcing that Mr. Richardson stood as the head of the poll. it was gracefully moved by Mr. llchinnon and seconded by Mr. Laidlaw that the nomination be made unanimous for Mr. Richardson. There were present about two o’clock somewhere about 120 dele- gates, assembled in the Hall, all of whom were assigned positions ac- cording to the municipalities they represented President \Vilson and Secretary {McKenzie ’wvere in their places and on calling the meeting to order the President stated the object for which they had assembled and af- tera few preliminary remarks the nominations were proceeded with.
