METIN Last Tuesday a large gathering of reprpseutative electors of both sides of politics assembled at Rocklyc to hear what Dr. Sproule, M. P., had to say ill justification of his vote on the burning question oC the day. The following gentlemen were on the plat; form, viz Thos. Kells, president of the L. C. Ass., of East Grey, Wm. McLouphry.Dr. Sproule, M.P., Joseph ilorke, M. P. P., Dr. Scott, Maxwell; John Chnton, Osprey Eev's McLaren; Wilkerson Hewitt, and McMurdy T. Gilray, reeve of Euphrasia Mr. Gner, School Inspector J. J. Johnr ston, Meaford T. Andrews, reeve of Thorn bury F. Smelser, reeve of j was almost demolished CoUingwood Jas. Bowes, reeve of bt. Vincent N. Eead, deputy-reeve of St. Vincent A. Freeborn, Holland Squire Brown, Markdale R. Mylee, ex-reeve of Euphrasia J as. Prodie, Artemesia N. McCol- man, ex-M. P. P., the editor of the Maikdale Standard and others. Mr. KeDs presided and called the meeting to order sharp on time, 4 o'clock and briefly stated the object of tbe meet- ing and introduced Dr. Sproule, who was received with much milder en- thusiasm than he has been accustom- ed to among his constituents. He was accorded a splendid hearmg how- ever while he explained the claims of tbe Jesuits and how and why those claims were satisfied. The speaker v.iis forceful in his arguments and vigorous in establishing his honest and concientionsness in casting his vote with the other 187, and appeared to make a fairly clear case. His speech, of 00 minutes, was cbaract- rized by that point and loD;ical clear- ness of which his speeches are char- iicterestic. The next speaker was the Rev. Mr. McLaren, Presbyterian minister of Euphrasia, who gave a few pointers which were more calculat- ed to stir sentiment than to reaich tbe judgement. Mr. Grier tried to say something but could not secure a hearing and had to take his seat amid confusion. Mr. Eorke, M. P. P., then arose and order was at once restored, clearly shov\ring the respect which his L-onstituentsliaveforhim. He highly eulogised the Dr. ap a reliable man and an honest and efUcient represent- aiLive in parliament but strongly opposed his course in reference to the vote on the Jesuit question. Mr. Me- Colman was called, and spoke for a few minutes in a yery tair and in- telligent strain on the burning question, lie pointed out the necessity of hav- ing the State entirely free from the Church this he claimed is not the case even in Ontario as is supposed and intended, and held that all Cburch property should be struck off the exempt list and taxed the same as other property. This view is fast gaining strength and we hope to see the day when it will be tbe law of the entire Dominion. ^[reatest of snccess and a speedy retoru to the Centre. BcRAWAT AcCiDBNT. â€" We regiet to learn that Mr. Wm. Miniors, ^r., met with a serioDS accident on tbe evening of tbe lOtb inst. He was recuming from the village and had reached his own lane when, upon attempting to get in his buggy after closing the gate, the beast took fright at some^iiing and ran off overturning the buggy and stunning Mr. M. He was carried in and a physician summoned. After considerable time he was restored to consciousness when it was found there was no bones broken and the only in- juries were those arising from tbe shock. We hope soon to see him out again. Still. Another Eunaway. â€" Occur- ed on Saturday evening. As Mr. Wm. Farley, jr., was driving into the shed at the Queen's liis horse shied and turned round, upsetting the buggy and throwing him out. Will bravely held on to the 'lines and turned the beast into the shed again, but it was too frightened to stop and. jerking tbe lines out of his hands, bolted out of the shed aud along the street as far as Crowther's blacksmith shop where it was stopped but not until the buggy Will, we be- GRAND CELEBRATION -AT- MARXSD ALE I mnurn â€" AND â€" -ON- a^XH S^XH lieve was not much hurt Serious Fun. â€" On Thursday last some of the boys while on their way to school thought to have a little fun and kindled a fire in some brush on the farm^ol Mr. Joseph Jackson, Sr. The fire*spread to the fence and a considerable portion was burned be- fore it was discovered, and cbecked: Mr J. IS justly incensed over tbe matter and the boys will probably have to pay dearly for their fun. A Lucky Ykar. â€" Messrs. G. Mackey and T. Williscroft are firm believers in '89 being a lucky jear. The form- er owns a beautiful heifer which gave birth a short time ago to a pair of tine heifer calves, while Tom is the proud possessor of nine sheep which only produced two lambs each, making eighteen in all. It would take a small farm to purcbase the stock ol either one iust now. Fatal Contest.â€" -Mr, Isaac Erwin who liyes about a mile east of here was the owner of two beautiful birds of the Turkey family, but a few days ago tuey engaged in a contest with the usual result in such cases that the weaker went under. Upon being seperated it was found that it had re- ceived very serious injuries which proved fatal shortly after The victor now leads a life similar to that of Alexander Siikirk.
