ELECTRIC RAILWAY MATTERS Tliera appears to us (and many oUiei'B) to be Rometiiing like a colored gentleman sticking in the fence of the Huron and Ontario electric railway. Of course these stispioionsmiy not bo well founded, and we hope they are uot, but several incidents of late have tended to shutter the marvelous and and unbounded faith we once held in Dr. Rolstin of Shelburue, one of the two promoters. While this is true we do not wish it thought that we bave lost faith in the enterprise, be •ausc we belie /e the road will come, but we have arrived at the couclusiou that l>r. iiolstin aud hi& fellow pro moter deserve watching and will pro- ceed to give our reasons. When Fleshertou was first approached we were '.old that this was the last place to be asked for subscriptions ; the organization was complete when we bad thi-o<vu iu our mite. We sab- scribed and paid over about one half of the sum. The following week Dr. Rolstiu and Mr. Pew were beard from over Qoderieh way where they were drummiui; np several more small towns. We let that pais, as simply aa culaigement of the scheme. The provisional directors went to Ottawa •nd fought for the charter, which was secured. Inmediately thereafter Dr. itolLsiin busied hims<;lf by going into the township of Osproy aud asking BubscriptiouB from the people of that township to the extent of $2UUU, promising that for that sum ho would deviate the road by way of Dadgeros, Mcliilyre, Fovershain, to Eugenia, Vliero he would form a junction for Meaford aud the west. We presumo that Dr. Kolslia thought the it(m would be a nice pocket piece divided between himself and Mr. I'cw, but the proviaiunat directors negatived this tast week, demanding that tlie nionry if paid bo handed over to their treasur- er for expense purposes, it appcavH U) us that Dr. llolsiiu exceeded his duties very much indeed by conlinu- ing to elaborate his scheme iu iliis way after the charter hiic< been grant- ed. Did he consider hiiuHoIf owiicr of the whole concern, thiit he could divialc it where lie clioso to tht. extent gf fifteen or twenty miles, and place the jiincliun at any point within ten «iiles of where tliu charter calls for ? In tliis we know he lias not kept fuiih with t'losherton, aa the in.'ip wiiich he exhibited here, aud on the strength of which the money was subseribed, distinctly traced the line ^ a direct eoui'se frou^ &liolbu'iL» to this place, UndoM Um eircnnistaiices Dr. Rol- Btiu and his confrere cannot expect the balance of Flesherton's subscrip- tion but on the contrary, should their laU t«t schemes be carried through an idurt will be made by subseribois hero to recover the mpneyA already iwid over. If Dr. Rolstiu liaa any defei^ce or explanation to make our coluniQS are open to him, but the general feeling here is that his con- duct is not capable of being satisfac- torily explained away, and. faitli in his i^tcgiily has been udly ahattercd favorable to tho coercion of Manitoba. This mandement wap submitted to His Holiness at Rome and advised to be read in all the ciimches on two different Sundays before elecdou day, iu order to whip recalcitrant voters into line. What do the electors of this country think, anyway, of having their politics dictated to them from Italy ? For ourselves it appears to be slightly irregiilar and hard to reconcile with oui preconceived ideas of freedom of thought and action. A reader of The Advance sends us the following quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, which he believes to be very appropriate at the present time, aud we agree with him : God vXjo us me I Times lika tbia deiaaiiilH B'.roug minds, great hearts, true faith and ready handH ; Men wbom tho luBt of oflfice does not kill ; Meu whom the fpoi'.sof ofilce cannot buy; Uen who possess opinions and a will, Hea wholovo honor, men who will uot lie. T (^ fiist shot in tho East Grey election campaign was fired at jMca-. ford on Saturday with Dr. Spronle, Clarke Wallace, and Col. Tywhitt at the gnus. About 3000 people were present and were addressed by the above gentlemen on the market squaie. In the evening a banquet was given Dr. Bprouie ui P.inl's hotel, when some 200 guests sat down to a sumptu- ous repast. and saw a man in a hcirrible plitiht np- pruacliiiiK the hnuHC.

It appears that a man named Samuel Sinclair, who livfd with his mother <in a farm rpar Hcpworth, went out <m hut Wednesday afternoon to do aome ploughing.* Uutiii the field where ho was working autiio Ihkh and stunipi were burning. Toward evening the man's mother looked out of the houie lit an to link cd Btid nhe was alurnied and shut the door upon him, a^ bhe Lud not the sli^htrst idea who he wna. lie faii'tly tried the door and in a weak voice oriiul, '•Mother, n.olhor, don't you know nic ?" Tho woman iiuni^-diately opcnBd the doijr and there wan her son. He HtB^gi>roJ in- to the jiouHO and fell down. He was literally cooked, hia hands were burned to a crisp, and his face, feet and loi»s were in the saiiia condition, while his body and stomach were fearfully burn d. Medical aid was auiiimoned but lie w:i> beyond human aid. He lived iu gnat agony for a few hours when death re- lieved him of hin sulToiinit-s. Ho becnin" conscious before death, but could itivu oo account of how he was burned.
