The amoant of reading matter has been somewhat condensed in the Stand\bd for some weeks owing to extra adr ertismg space being required but we trust our readers will take it all in good parts and console them- selves with the tJiot' that what is their loss, in this rebpect, is our gain. Our reading space will now become great- er, and thus our loss will be your gain by the way, if you had a glance over our exchanges you would find that the Standabb gives more reading by a good deal than the average rural paper; this is however as we desire and hope to continue to the fore.

One of our citizens is the recipient of another blessing The arrival of a young son is the mainspring of his joy. Mr. W. J. Wright of King, has taken charge of Dr. Kerr's farm for the en- suing year, and of course everything will be done up in '-Wright" style. On Monday last, Miss Ella Kerr, re- turned to Gollingwood, to resume her studies at the Collegiate Institute. We regret to learn that Mrs. Milne, of Toronto, haying come up for the pur- pose of attending the funeral of her brother, Mr. Duncan Heron, is now lying seriously ill. We are glad to notice that Mr. Bobt. Gordon, who has, for some time been engaged in pastoral work in Michigan ia home again for a few weeks. We un- derstand that Major Sutherland, grace- fully remembered by man in this sect ion of the (iountry is discharging the duties of a pastor in Mr. Gordon's absence. â-  There is always a welcome home for Mr, Gordon. Whiz To The Electors OF sopneREY. Gbntlehen. â€" In parsaance to the Qonstitutional principle, that when there is any material extension of the Franchise, the House of Commons has been dissolved, uid a new election will take place on Tuesday, 22nd Feb- ruary. Having been chosen by the Liberal Conservative party as their Candidate, I beg to solicit year sufirage in the approaching contest. If elected I shall give a fair support on all vital questions to the present Government, believing that it has shewn by its past re«ord to be heartily in accord with the progressive spirit of the age, and that under its care the laws have been fairly and impartially administered, but on some questions I may be compelled to differ with it. 1 shall favor the repeal of the pres- ent Franchise Act, and the substitution for it of Manhood Suffrage. 1 believe there should be some radical change made in the constitution and functions of the Senate, or if this be not practicable then I should favor its abolition entirely. The present fiscal system which gives protection to our manufactures has shewn itself to be successful and should be continued. The depression existing- in our agri- cultural interests and the small returns received by farmers from their invest- ments and labors should engage the earnest and careful attention of our Legislators. Believing that the high rate of interest at which farmers are compelled to borrow money, causes a constant and large flow of their hard earnings to the capitalists of the old country, I think the Government should assume the control of the cur- rency of the country, and that the ne- cessary legislation should be passed to favor the establishment of Farmer's Banks, and the supply of cheap money to the agricultural classes. Now that all the great public works rendered necessary by Confederation have been completed, I think the time has come to exercise the most rigid, careful and economical control of our expenditure, and to endeavor to carry out the affairs of the country without further increasing the public dept. Hoping my views will meet with your approbation and that you will fayor me with your support and earnest cO' operation. I am, Gentlemen, Your Obt. Servant, David Jahiesom.
