TIE election Of Corporation and Town
ship officers for the ensuing year takes
place next Tuesday. We have. q Mayor,
three members Of the Council, two mem.
bers Of the School Board, Justice Of the
Peace, Marshal, Constable, Township
Trustees, ,Treasurers of the Corporation and
Township to elect. We have heard no one
proposed as candidates for these Offices
and we suppose that as usual nominations
win be delayed until Saturday or even till
Monday, and then made with such haste
that many Of them viii be i'll considered
and sourse Of dissatisfaction and regret
hereafter It can be truthfully said of that
most Offices, notably that of Mayor, go q
begging in Wellington. There are certain
ly is no lack of good material, but our
business men who are competent have too
much business Of their own. TO be willing
TO assume outside duties that bring little
recompense, but honor. The office Of
Mayor however seems most difficult to I'LL,
its duties consuming large amount Of
tine, bringing great responsibilities and
being attended by vexations and fault find
ing and often defamation that make Alto
gether very unsatisfactory balance for
the labor bestowed. The meagre salary of
which Is allowed him is no satis-
factory return for the inroads its duties
make upon his time and business, though
an improvement upon the earlier fashion
OF doing IL all for nothing. 1t Is to be
hoped that unusual care win be exercised
this year In the selection of candidates.
Our town has reached stage when we
begin 70 need such improvements as viii
require the best taste and Judgement and
business talent we can procure. The feel
ing IN favor of of Town-Hall is very de-
cided and our streets and the general oter-
sight of our corporation matters will give
room for the ability of our best men and
we hope that such will be pressed to the
front

English Notions About the Care OF
Horses.

To guard against chills and colds,
with the loss of time, expense and risk
of unsound wind which often follows,
horse owners require TO be on the alert,
especially at this season of the year.
Horses alternately sharply worked and
when hot allowed to stand in the open
air until nearly cool should have warm
covering, waterproof on one side, for
their back and loins. Farm as well as
town horses often catch cold while their
thirsty drivers are leisurely refreshing
In the public house, and the mischief is
sometimes aggravated by the extra
spurt which is afterward put on to
make up lost time. Many horses, es-
pecially IL they have been allowed TO Law
out during the later autumn nights, have
already grown q long, thick winter coat
which causes ready perspiraion; 1t IL
almost impossible to get them properly
dry; they stand chilled throughout the
greater part of the night, and hence
thrive indifferently, and are especially
liable to colds. Whether of the light or
heavier breeds, all horses which,
from habit or previous management,
grow these long, heavy coats, should be
singed or clipped entirely or partially
Trimming or singeing the long hairs
along the chest or belly, and down the
legs to the knees and hooks, usually suf-
fees for farm horses. Where hard or
last work is required, the Irish plan OF
clipping the hair from the chest, belly,
arms and thighs proves great comfort
to the horse, and often saves half q
bushel Of corn week. If they are to
do their work cheerfully and well horses
changing their coats require for some
weeks little extra corn or some other
good food. Horses recently brought In.
TO full work require more consideration
than they receive. 1t is apt to be for
gotten that condition is acquired slowly,
As result of good feeding and properly
regulated exercise or work.-Boston

The Last Of the Chartists.

There is now living in q small room
opening on a narrow street near the
center of Manchester one of the last
surviving lecturers of the Anti Corn
Law League. His name is J. j. Finni-
gan, and forty years ago he was deemed
able to cope with the late Earl Stanhope
at public meeting in Cornwall, attend
ed by the Dukes own tenantry. Against
their arguments he finally carried, after
q four hours discussion, resolution in
favor of total and immediate repeal of
the Corn laws, and obtained about two
hundred petitions in its favor. Mr..
Finnigan is now over 20 years of AGE
and unable to work. His wife also still
lives, and the two are forced to get a
living out of an income of about 50 per
week. "His tattered condition. saws
one who knows him, sis such that he
can not leave his hiding place during
daylight, but when darkness comes.
which to some extent conceals his
misery, he sometimes takes a short
walk in the impediate neighborhood of
his abode" Efforts are being.made to
afford Mr.. Finnigan better way to
spend the remaining days he NAV have
to pass in the city which be did so much
to enrich and make possible.-N. 2.

Keeping His Word.

One or two anecdotes of young
Euglishman that we heard lately are
worth repeating, because they illustrate
in combination scrupulous fidelity to
ones own obligations and courteous
difference to the rights of others.
Two young men shared, in one of our
large cities, the same room. Both were
the sons of gentlemen. One was the
grandson of an English Duke, and the
other the SON of an American clergy
man.
The Englishman's father was young
est son; and for the youngest sons even
of Dukes there Is no especial place in
England. This young scion of a Ducal
house was over here, accordingly, learn
ing prosaic business, and struggling
with fortune, like any young American.
One night he came into his room rather
late, and without speaking to his COM
panion, who as he fancied was asleep,
he went silently to bed. Soon he as
silently got up and dressed himself, and
went out. He was gone for nearly three
hours. The explanation was that he
had forgotten to deliver note which he
had promised to leave at a friend g
house that night, and, remembering this
after he went 20 bed, he got up, and, it
being so late that horse cars had ceased
to run on that route, he walked seven
miles, put the note under the door OF
his friend, and walked tho seven miles
back again.
Another night he came into his room,
and again his roommate, who had a
habit Of going to bed early, was in bed.
The Englishman turned up the gas and
began to read. His companion turned
over sleepily, and said:
al say, John, that may be fun for
you, but it's not quite so nice for me. ~
The young Englishman apologized,
and put out the light.
Another night, not long after, he came
in again rather late. After while the
sleepy American turned over and saw
John with his head and shoulders out OF
the window, in the cold Of a winter
night, reading by moonlight.
The American wanted to see what
book it was that could be so absorbing.
He got up quietly and looked. 1t was
Bakers "Saint's Rest" The book
was not the young Englishman's own
choice; but his mother had asked him
to read q chapter in it every night be-
fore he went to sleep, and it was not his
toay to let tribes, like cold or darkness,
make him break his pledge.
1t may be romantic feeling-very
possibly 1t is-but we would go far to
shake hands with that strong young fel.
low, who knew so well how to keep his
word Youths Companion.

IN Mrs. Mary A. Livermore's sermon
Cleveland, lately, she said:

90 Every Christian should have for an epitaph,
. Look around, see how many he has helped and
eheered forward life's journey 1t matters lit
tie 10 what particular Church you belong. it 10
!, what. you do that counts. Christians are con-
stantly living in the basement Of their natures and
until God pour in food OF grief, We win not as
cend higher Therefore. religion can be summed
up in these few words: Holiness is helpfulness,
I, and helpfulness Ia holiness"
That is it exactly, and they make such
a mistake who, with unusual opportunities
for extending generous helpfulness to
genuinely worthy enterprises for uplifting
and bettering mankind, study rather TO
see how little they can do and not be
known as outrageously close and small.

The foregoing article was published in
our last issue, but owing to the fact that
our correspondent, Mr.. Hines. whose
article appears below, takes exception to
our reflections on the hen question and
asks q hearing in our paper this week, we
have concluded to publish them both in
connection, so that our readers may have
good understanding of this profound
question in all its length and breadth. 1t
will be seen that he is in error in saying
that We made reference to a keeper of q
brood of hens who ''was not worth five
dollars in the world" Wewere not asked,
and consequently do not feel free to take
any liberties with his manuscript, and so
give It verbatim ct literatim." We tried
not to be extensively personal, but our cor
respondent evidently seeks no soft con-
cealments He hits straight from the
shoulder, and having a rule to give both
sides of every question q fair and impair
tial hearing, and being generously dis
posed to give entire freedom to his very
laudable ambition for newspaper notorieiy,
we refrain from endeavoring to hide his
intellectual light under a bushel, as we
might have done by casting his communi-
cation into the capscious NAV Of our waste
basket Besides, we dare not take the
responsibility of depriving the world of
glimpse of such unexampled moral and in
tellectual excellence, and we allow him to
have his say, unrestricted and unabridged.
We have no words to express our graft
tude for the very appreciative and compli-
mentary language in which he makes
personal reference to ourself, and so must
leave IL to the imagination of our readers.
We commend his article as rich and racy,
and well worth at least one reading, which
we sadly fear is better compliment than
he could conscientiously give us; but We
shall try TO bear it with becoming resigna-
ton. In conclusion, we are glad to be
assured that the publication of his commu-
nication will remove all ground for hard
feelings" and make everything serene.

cialiy in oice-Seeking quarters that the President

great dissatisfaction In the republican party espe-
cially III the stalwart element and that great i'm
patience Is manifested that he should "do some
thing"
This matter has been brought 10 the attention Of
the President, 1t Is understood, by several of his
friends. The President however does not incline
to yield to the impatient cry that has zone m
lie intends, before he makes any appo;n tments
or takes any action In executive matters, 10 learn
all the facts connected therewitb, and base his
action upon that information. He thinks that
there had better he some delay than that errors
ShoIld be committed in default Of a careful eX-
