The battles of the elements and the battles of the politicians daring the past week were seemingly vieing with each other in vrild turmoil and strife and the face of nature has here and theve been 'torn and twisted out of jts normal condition and the politicians faaye, in accordance with time honored customs, been moved and worried and goaded until the last crack of the political whin is dead in the land and peaise and quiet- ness again reigns supreme and the country still is safe.

Everything seems to have together conspired to prevent us from getting any news this week. 1. The editor has been away at conference. 2. The ex- changes give us no news but elections, therefore the old reliable "scissors" have been at rest. 3. Our correspondents have been so much taken up with elec- tions that they have not contributed the usual budget. For these reasons we beg our readers'to excuse the drouth this week. Tbe Three Oreya. In another column will he found a full general report of the Ontario elections. As our readers are more interested in the home and neighboring Ridings, we give below the majorities, as near as at present reported, for the three Ridings of Grey: North Greyâ€" Clelland, (Ref.), Creighton (Con.), majority for Clelland 405. South Greyâ€" Huuter (Ref.), Blyth (Con.), majority for Hunter 153 (?). East Grey â€" ^Rorke (Con.), Dr. Hunt (Ref.), majority for Rorke 69 (?). Matter from B. C. In a letter received from Alex. Mercer of Sardis, B. C, last week, he incloses $1.00 as renewal of subscription to Standabd, also a large head of barley, which shows conclusively that the growth in B. C. is far m advance of the provin' of Ontario. He also further states that the grass is two feet high and cherries and strawberries are just about ripe. 'Tis a littie hard on us, Alex., to hold up such rare delicacies to tempt our long suffering palate, however we congratulate you upoa having them within your reach, and long may yon luxuriate 'midst the good things of the ?olden sunny Pacific slope. Tarrlfio Tbimda ratof i u a. It is extremely rare that we are called upon to chromcle the occurrence of a storm m Ontario that is of any import- ance. During the last days of the past week a series of terrible thunderstorms have swept over this and adjacent sections of the Province almost surpass- ing in severity and destructiyeness anything within the honest memory of the oldest inhabitant. The all-potent s^eep of the rushing waters has plowed -wide channels across the track of Owen Sound branch of the C. P. B., stopping traffic and the transmission of the mails for nearly twenty-four honrs. At Barrie the flood-gates of beayeU seemed to have opened and the waters rushed down some of the streets like rivers, pouring into stores, hotels and other buildings causing thousands of dollars damage. Tha Hook aad Xina. The Saueeen river, which nearly en- drcles onr prosperous Tillage, we can justiy say has been one of the prandest sporting rivers in Canada. It is the native haunt of the speckled treat and, although hundreds of pounds of these beantifal fish are each season mthleesly taken from this great natural breeding ylace and sold to the city hotels yet a tux day's spoirt may be had in the mcnthof May. Deleting tills stream of these gamy fish for tiie porpobe of an odd paltry dollar is abe rfot e lj r wrong andshooldhe skq^ped at onoe.
