DEEREIELD.


On Wednesday evening of last week
We were favored with lecture in the
Town Hall, by Miss Eva T. Perry i;
subject, "Woman and her Duties"
1t was q very mild lecture on Woman's
Rights, asking that che be given the
ballot, and declaring it was not right
to tax her without representation. To
those who have a chance to hear her
lecture, we say go by all means. Miss
Perry is not of the Clapham or DR..
Mary Walker style Of women, but
pleasant, intelligent and good looking
lady. Her lecture was well received
by large and attentive audience. She
is employed by the South Newberry
Woman's Rights Association. She
intends to lecture in Edinburg and
Ravenna.
Deerfield town and township may
| be denominated strictly temperate, as
nothing is sold to intoxicate. Both
hotels being determined this shall be
q temperance abstinent community,
not having made application for Ii
cense for the year 1878. So mote it be.
Rev. r. c. Flowers will deliver a
lecture in Town Hall on Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock. Subject not re-
ported.
We had the pleasure of visiting the
Fair at Palmyra on Monday and have
not seen so good display of horses
as were on exhibition there for many
years. There were great many
changed owners. Representatives
from all parts of the county and from
adjoining counties were present with
stock. making the Fair decided sue
cess. There was a foot race between
Mr.. John Rose, of Palmyaa, and Mr.
VIM. Wilson. of Deerfield. Distance
100 yards, and won by Mr.. Wilson.
A great many were present who for.
got to exhibit their Murphy badges.
Our Literary Society intends Civ
ing an exhibition on Saturday, May
25th, in Town Hall. For particulars
see advertisement and small bills.
The weather the past week hat
been very stormy aud wet. Crops
look we'll. We had slight frost or
Monday night. Apple, pear and
ounce trees are in full bloom. If W.
have many frosts our fruit will be in
danger. OMEGA.

A FIRE.-About fifteen minutes be-
fore six o'clock last Thursday evening
smoke and flames were seen issuing
from the cupola of the brick barn
lately built for the accommodation of
the Sheriff, on the alley just north of
the Commercial Hotel. The alarm
was given and the fire companies
were promptly on hand and succeed
ed in quenchiug the flames, but not
until considerable damage was done.
The fire was confined to the upper
part of the building. A new roof
will be needed, and perhaps some 9th.
er slight repairs. The cause of the fire
is mystery.

The Halifax Award.

The speech made by Mr.. Blaine in The
Senate, bearing upon the award OF the
Halifax Commission in relation to the fish
cry complications between the United
States and the Dominion of Canada, ex-
cites wide attention and presents questions
of importance to this country, and partlc-
ularly to those who are Interested in the
fisheries.
The principal point of the speech is in
relation to the appointment OF MIR. Del
fosse, the Belgian Minister to this country,
as the third and deciding member of the
Halifax Commission. who it appears Lord
Ripon, speaking for the English govern
mspt. declared in 1871 was not proper
person to be offered as an arbitrator by
England, on account of the peculiar rea-
tons existing between that country and
Belgium. Mr.. Deliosse was appointed in
spite of what had been said by Lord Ri
pom; an excessive and outrageous award
in which the American Commissioner
would nst join, followed and now. Mr..
Blaine desires to know how Delfosse came
to be appointed and whether this govern
ment is legally bound to pay the unjust
award made.
Mr.. Blaine's speech throws light upon
subject which has been much discussed
that is, as to the way in which the excess
sive amount of the award made at Halifax
was brought about. but whether the govern
ment il bound to pay this enormous extor-
ton is question upon which he does not
fully declare bis opinions. although he ex
PRESSES his belief that If Great Britain
were in circumstances similar to those in
which we are placed as regards the award
she would not pay it. The developments
which will attend the investigation conse-
quent upon the adoption OF Mr.. Blaine's
resolution will be awaited with great
deal of interest in Canada and England as
well as in this country.
