The IfAT^irnAT.Tg JUNE 101886 MABEDALE TO OODEBICU. On Taeaday morning, Jane Ist, w« boarded the train south, changiBg ears at Card well Junction we took the Hamilton North- Western, arriying in Georgetown at 10:40, making close connection with the 6. T. B., and reacbing Stratford at 1:15 where a train was waiting to convey us to Goderich, where we arrived at 8:40, B harp on time. Yegetation along the above line i in much the same stage of advance- ment. The country from Georgetown to Guelph is generally broken, stony and rocky, but on leaving Guelph westward there is a vast improvement, while the districts paised through in the vicinity of Berlin, Stratford, 8ea- forth and Clinton are unbroken, and a deUghtfully prosperous agricultural country. GODEBICH town of Huron, is situ- banks of the Maitland it empties into Lake j)lan of the town is strangely novel. The county court house stands in the centre of the town, and is encircled with a beautiful park in which flowers, shrubs and shade trees abound, faced with many of the principal places of business, which en- compass the park on all sides. A park surrounded by business places is a Tare sight. These places of business around the court house and park have a frontage of about a third of a mile. The roadway or street, between the park and those business places is very wide and level, in tact all the streets *re, we believe, a uniform width of six rods. The streets point from the court housA in all directions. East St. West St. North St and South Street beisdes one between each of these mak- ing in all eight streets direct from the court housie, and these multiply in hoth directions as yon proceed from this centre m a manner very sugges- tive of a spider web, and equally as entangling to those who fall into its meshes as many of the Conference delegates will indignantly ascree (ask Mr. Bowes.) The streets abound with ehade trees, and are wonderfully clean; the sidewalks wide, being all twelve feet; but there is not half as much wooden sidewalks in the whole of the town as there is in Markdale; the walks are gravel, and are hard and smooth; the streets are also hard and smooth, while mud is a thing, com- paratively speaking, unknown in the place. We cannot go into general particulars in regard to the public in- terests of the town, such as the great salt works, the greatest portion of which Jiave been given up for want of a demand for that article at remunera- tive prices. THE CONFEBENCE has progressed from day to day, com- mencing on Tuesday the 2ud and cbs- ingon Tuesday the 8th. Over 200 dele- gates were present, and the various matters of business were dealt with in a thoroughly practical and business manner. The people of the town have shown commendable liberality in providing for the wants of the hun- dreds of strangers attending Confer- ence, while all appeared to thoroughly enjoy their visit both in reference to Conference work and society. The next annual conference will be held at^ Gait, commencing the first WedneE- flayin June. Following is the final draft of sta- tions for MABEDALE DISTKICT- Markdale, Geo. H.

Mr. StoHdard Editor: Being as yon are editin' the paper this week, I thought, ae I have had a little experience in the matter I might be able to advise you. Now, in the first place, I have learned that the Editor-in-ohief is away for a while to the salt wells, as a foreign miBsionary, and that yoH, a rism' editor, have took upon you the editorship for some time. A serious responsibility, boy, very I I thought I'd give you the benefit of my experience as an editor. Now, while I was oat west, I ran weekly paper on the improved style for about three months, after that I found the sub- scribers of the paper were running me on the ajpproved style. Once I ventur- ed in a mild way to advise a man to keep his wife at home, and not let her go out gossiping to her neighbors he did not take kindlj to the advice, and the result was I was waylaid one night coming home from church. Again I was trying to add a tone to the morals of the sommunity and I called a mother's attention to the fact that her son, if not better looked after, would be a liar, loafer, rogue, and likely a drunkard, and advised her to use the broomhandle on him for my goodness in giving this kindly advice I, myself, the editor of a respectable paper, was pommelled with the broomhandle by the infuriated mother. One piece of advice I would give therefore is, to let the women alone another, don't sav anything about anybody don't try to report a concert in the absence of the boss editor, it's folly, simply foolhardi- ness. I give you this advice lor your own personal safety, as much as for the bosses safety on his return. I hope you will act on it before your office is surrounded by a howling mob. Yours for the best, Phin Coneot. To the Editor of the Standabd. Sib, â€" There appeared an article in the Flesherton Advance over the signature of V. G. Glassford, supposed to be aa answer to ours in your paper of the 20th May. We did not say General Gordon was not registered what we said was this, "General Gordon is not nor can he be rogist«!red either in the (Clydesdale nor the Shire stud books." This statement is strictly correct. Now, for the. public's information we will show exactly where he is registered. General Gordon is registered as follows: [A 46] Canadian Clyde Appendex whish is kept for the purpose of registering half-breeds and mongrels. Mr. Glassford knows this, and if he is an honest man, why does he not own up and give General Gordon's pedigree just as it is Mr. Glassford says it is easily known what our motives were in the article we published, meaning no doubt we were envious because hr was in the same business' we were. Such is not the case we envy no man. Now, to set for ever at rest this pedigree business, we will bet Mr. Glassford $100 to 810 that General Gordon's pedigree is just as we have stated. Now, let Mr. Glassford either put op or shut up. TSIHBLI PlCEBLL. To the Editor of the Standard. Deak Sib, â€" Allow me to congratu- late you on your success as an editor. Along with this I would advise you to not be so hard on the boys, you know you are one of them. M » Iff assey Harvester. BE ON YOUB GUABD.

Williscroft, which has given good satisfaction, having cut a very heavy crop of grain in 1885, over 100 acres without a break. It by far exceeded my expect- ations, having cut very heavy grain, on very rough and stony ground, with soft bottom.where I thought it im- possible for a machine to work. Did I require another machine it would not cost me a moment's thought to decide as to what machine to buy. I would advise all my neighbors to buy a Massey Macnine when requiring one.

The Conservative Convention held in Durham on Tuesday last far the purpose of selecting candidates to re- present South Grey at the next general election was a grand success. Dele- gates were present from every part of the riding, and it was said by those of experience that it was the largest Con- servative Convention ever held in the riding. Dr. Jauiieson, President of the Conservative Association, accept- ed the chair. A few minutes after 10 the Dr. called the meeting to order. After routine business the following named gentlemen were nominated: Dr. Jamieson, Dr, Christoe, James Edge, Esq., A. H. N. Jenkins, W. J. MoFarland, and Thos. Kells. All of these gentlemen declined in fayor of Dr. Jamieson except Mr. Jenkins, who was the last to speak. He declined to be governed by rules of Convention, consequently a standing and unani- mous vote was given in favor of Dr. Jamieson. Hon. Thos. White ihen addressed the Cpnvention in a short speech, full of wisdom and sound advice. Con- vention then closed with three cheers for Sir John McDonald, Hon. Thomas White, and the Queen. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a Mass meeting was held in the Agricultural grounds. A large crowd of very in- telligent people assembled here to listen to the speeches of Dr. Sproule M. P., Mr. John Blyth, M. P. P., and Hon. Thos, White who was just fin- ishing and extensive and masterly speech as we left. When Dr. Sproule, in the course of his speech, announced that the Home Bule bill had been defeated, a tremen- dous cheer went up from the crowd of veryatteutiye Hstners. A banquet was held in the evening at the Middaugh House. Your town appeared to have turned out in full force conspicuous among those present we noticed. Dr. Sproule, M.P., Messrs. W. J.
