A settler in nevrer Ontario, who has been a reformer from Lis youth up, infortna The Advance tbat he voted Conservative this time simply because of the fair way that sottlcra have been treated by Mr. Whitney. Their liatcuts have not boon tield back, and the length of occupation reduced so that homesteading is not so serious a natter as it was. It was a personal matter with this TOtet, and no doubt there wcie tliousandB like him. Fair, honorable, above-board treatment are Blruuger arguments than words. Just what it is that attracts light- i:ing to barns, while other structures aie comparatively immune, has never been satisfactorily explained. This is scmciliin;^ our scicntiBts should get after. When the oauao is known a lomody for this great loss will he sino to follow, and this country eortainly needs something to protect it from the great loss aiinimlly suflor- td liy the fanning community. The Meafoid Mirror chronicles the strik iig of six barns in the north part nf liiis comity during electric storms last v.eek, only one. however, being totally crnisuincd. Moat of our last wcck'.i { xuhnngos chronicle the det-.truction of barns and it is high time a strenuous I Iforl was made to discover protective iiiuasiiies. It seems to us the matter i.s 30 BQiiona that our governments aliduld make a move in the line cf otTerijig a reward for the discovery of the omtpc. Or eoma of our million- ttiioi who dcbire to have their names inimortalized might t^ke the hint wo ^ci*« let drop. A 8traui,'e coincidence was related us by Mr. M. K. Richardson recoutly. While in Darrio on June 18 last he stepped into a news store and picked up an English publication issued by the HarniHworths, and noted a head- line, " What would we give to have seen the battle of Waterloo ? " Mr. liichardsoii remarked to a young lady who stood near, that it was rather a peculiar incident that be should read this line, as the day was theanniver- sary of the battle cf Waterloo. "Yes,' replied the yonng lady, "it is peculiar, but not nearly so strange as that yuu should appeal to mo, a groat grand- daughter of General Blucher. " The young woman's father is an employee of the Grand Trunk in Uariie and her claim to disliuctiou was bona tide. i J. & W. BOYD. Flesherton, Ontario.
