and Henry says it threw him out OF his
| chair. The current ran on the wire to
DIR. CampbeIs where it melted out the
bell call, and at Paddo ck's, No. Crafts
bury, it melted out two sets of bell calls.

the time watching the sparks as they
went down the ground wire, but when
this flash came he concluded he had bus
mess in other quarters.
| REV. Albert Watson, a former pastor,
who recently visited this place feels ag-
grieved over an item in this paper which
criticised his speech which he delivered
to the Good Templars. He writes very
long communication to the MONITOR
which would probably stir up one or two
responses if published, and in the end do
no good. We are sorry that we did not
sscatch on to the item and consign it to
the waste basket, as it was not calculat-
ed to do good. to say the least. Mr.. Wat
son was in town as guest; he was in
vited to speak, and whatever his speech
was it would have been well to have said
nothing about it. This is year when
the cuticle is pretty thin on political mat
tiers and blisters take hold quick and
hard. EDITOR.
