Miss Robinson returned o her duties <iu the suff Oil Tuesday of last week after sponding a pleasant week At home. Mr. Variy, the hired man, has not yet returned tu his work since meeting with the accident previously mentioned Perhaps he got a harder kuock than we are aware >>f, or it uiay be that he has no iuteiiticn of returnini;, or again, that there is not enough to be done. We i^now not which it the case. ' Airong the visitors on Thursday of last week were Mrs. Alex. Stewart of Klesh- erton, Mrs. Rubt. Rutledge and Mrs. A. CuUuu. Your scribe was much pleasfd to Meet with old friends, and ulad to observe tiiat lime is isakiog t>ut Utile change in their personal appearance. Mis Henry Stone and dauutitur Ruby gave us a friendly call ou the following Saturday and creikted such of th« inmates as were (iresent to apples, tigs, etc. Your kiiid- lieos was icreatly appreciated, ma'am. Miss Flossie Thurston was present at our divine service ou the Sunday before last, aiid o« being introduced to the manager, that'gentleutau paid a most tlaiteniig tribute to ye editor, which, however, can be better explained by Miss TUurtton. Un Thursday evanin/ la^t, tho old chaps were treated to a luiiiiature concert. Mr. SiiumoiHkK by permission Drought the bitixi paifner of ail his |oy8 aud sor- rows totlte men's day rootu, and that "KtScTia^ s&ng some choice selections aiid one or two comic soaga, and played sev- eral selections on her favorite accordeon. One of the old follows who has yet the teutnant of a very fair musical talent aaais'ed tha old lady in a couple of duets which were pronuuuced by the intelligent avdience, "purty good." The same old fellow sang a couple of comic songs but tabooed the eiioore*. John Cameron, who has bees an Inmate |(« the laav twelve mouths, was at his owhrequest permitted to take his depar- ture on Thorsday laalt. John was the smartest inmates of the Home, clean, honest, tidy aud truthful; was of material help to the statf, a quick aud reliable measenger when re.iuired by the luanagera, and oliligintt to his comrades. ' And yet, with all bis good 'qualities, there are tbiiM among us who would slander him, but â€" Heart Weakness and epilepsy was the cause of his coining here, but having hail no attacks of the la* tec since . be came; and only a few previously, he thinks It IS qui<e pussiblf that lie bus got over ii, and if he can Slid some liuht Mopluymeut he hopes to be able t>> uMia- tain hiuiaelf (•<( S'luie years yet. We ain eereby hope «o too, old comrade, aud wish you ev«ry success. Ou Monday last there arrived on the 4.48 p. m. train from Owen Snaud an 44d Keiitleiuan whom we deoignate Mr. Bfauik, accompanied by another geiitte- HMii whose name we forifet. However, the twain made their way Xa the House of itefui!u to consult with the manager in hi* office. After tlM oi-nsultation tit* Hianager cuuduoted the old geiuleman to the men's day room and introduced hiia to the inmates oilleotivety. Ths old gent bad a cordial hand shake for each, em|uir- •4 their names, >he nature of (heir afflie- liom eto. , but seemed to take a R<«*ter BiwKt in ywr oonrspundent than the tut, and takioij a chair, WDMeil hiuweif and commenced a friendly and intelligent recital of his early life. "Mab father," he began, "was an auld sojer" (he spoke Hieland Scotch very broadly) -"'wha fought under Sir John Moore atCurunna. He was a color ssirgent in the â€" let me see, what d'ye ca' them, ay, I have it the nno, the Gordon Highlanders. He saved the colors o' the regiment by cuttinai off the twa hands u' the de'il, a Frenchman whs was trying to tak' them awa' an' be sot a guid pension for it onyway." Just then the Kupper bell rang, my supper was brought in to aie and I was left: alone vi;ith the o %. to est it aud listen to his further recital. "Mahgran'faither," said he, "was a eeoeral and when he died mah g an'mither uot twa huoderd pounds a yoar pension, but mah faither was too |>ix>ud to tak' ony rank o' high deitree." At this point one of iho men came up and informed him chat he had better go down to supper. My eyes opened with a-ston- isbmeiit fur I was under the impression that he was a friend and neighbor of the manaiter, ju'it cuti): to spend an evening with him and see;4he Bouse. "Kay, nay, I'm uo verra huagry," said he, "I winna itae doon, but if ye'll jest fetch mah a cup o' t«a, twa or three biscuits, and a wee bit cheese, or a wee bit nice toast, it'll d) mutheuicht, hue I winna gaa doon." The man opened his mouth, said nothing and vaniuhed. Tlio old iteiit then com- m^-nced to inform me of his connexions with lords and ladies so and so, and uf ihe grand times he had experienced at some u the lairds castes and estates in auld Scotia and he neat rambling on in such a chaotic yet seeuiingly iutotligont manner that I eame to the cunclusiun that he was non coinpoe mentis. ''You nuMt ba a man -rf broad information," I ventured; "Weel yes, though I caiiua write vera much noo, mah Hugers are too stiff, but lam a grand composer." Ob! indeed. â€" I uudersiand that you are cnme here to i remain with us," "Well I dinna ken sae I much aboot that jest yot, its juat this way I invested $800 in a compauy," "bought au annuity," I suiigealed; "jest so, and I have a good £arm an plenty o siller, an 1 want tae gie some o'c to this institution." "A nuble idea, fnund." But, said he "I dinna want to buy a pig in a poke, sae 1 thocht I'd jes come down aud see for my - sel what the place was like." "And <rhat do you think of a?" "VVeel it 1 can get a double roam to myaol, well I wadna mind taking you in wi mah, a uice leetle diniu)^tabl«, ("and foot stool" I chipped in) and mah meals brought 'to lue frae the Kovenor's table and a few other priv- ilig98 I wadna begrudge $6 a mouth or even a lit&le mair aind cnuie aud stap." "Why not apply for apartmcuts at the King Eldward or Roasin House?" I asked ''Weel, I haa only 915 a mouth frae a' my sources aod I diuua want to be extrava- gant." He tbeu lelt me to hunt up bis irieiidsaiid have asmoke and found him- self lost in the old ladies' .«j>artuients. In the msAHtiaM the House physician bad been phoned for and came and exa mi ned htm and pronounced hiiu unsound in mind thus coulirming the piotriiosiication of your bumble scribe. The twain left the institution shortly after uioe o'clock, the • lid genileruau dedanng that that won on wheiils was nnethiug else but a splendid KUid fellow. It haa since tranapired that the old man, nocwithbtauding bis placid appearance is very easily irtitatod, and when irritated is subject to become violent aud uudesirable company. As his eniidition is clearly kuowu' before hand it is nor likely that he will be ailaiit- ted to thin inrtiturion, neither is it a proper place fur him or any uue e^se in a like oonditiou.

And select their candidates for the Artemesia Council Board For Reeveâ€" A. Muir. For Councillorsâ€" R. Best, T. R. Mo- Kenzie, Alex. White, H. McLoughrey. A very largely attended meeting of Local Uptionists was held in the town hall on Monday afternoon, including » large number of ladies. Kav. Mr. Hurl- burt, as chairman, explained the reason for calling the meeting, as resulting from the action of the Artemesia council in refusing to grant the petition of 500 bona- fide ratepayers of the township. It was claimed that che petition of the opponents only contained 340 genuine votes. In the course of a strongly worded address he took occasion to say that we were here to show to the world aud to the council of Artemesia what our rights were. Their action was audacious. The reeve was a champion, a knight of the oppressed in that he espoused the cause of the mitjority. It was a moral question, and the reeve had said iu e&.wt, 'Moral ques- tion, you go over there, and I will protect the business interests of myself and my friends." If our councils are not elected to protect morals what are they elected for? We want a reeve of whom we will nut be ashamed â€" whom we can point out to our sons with pride as beini; a worthy type of iuauh(H)d. We were not going to put out the men who had voted against them, only going to give them a chance to got out. They were only elected for a year. Previous to opening the moetinxs strong committee had met aud chosen the candidates whose names are at the head of this report. A . Muir fur reeve was nominated by W. O. Pickell and F. G. KarsSedt. Mr. Pickeli spoke about twenty minutes. He called the act ioQ uf the council a lietrayal of trust. In Mr. Muir he believed we had a mau who was honorable, fearless and upright. (Applause.) Mr. Muir was then called upon. He said he had not intended rn-enteriug the municipal field, buc would do 9u iu order that the people oould get British fair play. It made hiiu feel sad that old confreres, who had sat at the board with him, would do as they had done. The queittion was an easy ouo to settle, one akch any council could grant. It was a duty of the council to accede to the wishes of those 500 ratepayers, but the council bad said, ' 'let the) blood be upon us aud uikhi ons, children." He bad never been an out and out temperance mau but hud always Voted temperance. Iu a former eam.- paign a woman bad said: "I have no vote but I can pray for ycu." He aaked both the prayers and votes of the women on this Kreat ui<>r»I question. Mr. Muir was loudly applauded. His oomioatiuu was then made unanimous. Nominations for councUfeni Were as follows: Alexander White, by R. Oook and W C4SW«ili Henry McLougbry, by Guf^^e Littlejohns ami W. CHburn;T.lt. MuKeuzie, by A. l^heardotvii and U. Plantt; and R. Bo-^l, by McKeusie Ouiicao and Frank ^iiard. Each (A the ab(M'e gentlemen addrosaed the audieuct*. .v^'*' M^Loacliry bad said the actuiti of the council in denying the petition wa* the height of presuiirp^iua. and he said «i» again. He had intwuded' coming out as coui^illor joder any ciryuinstanoei^' and he thjitked the local optiu9 people fur endorsing his candidature, no gaVu his word of favoor that shouhl the que-'tion come up again he w«mld see that it hkd fair play. Mr. Betit took no credit for what be had done, it was wly his duty, and he was willing t<> stick to the temperance people mitil the last gun had been tired. He had not been a strong temperaana UMO in the past, but liad recently had his eyes opened through a railwM accident iu which intoxieattAg liquor ligut'ed. Rev. Ivison Wilsoii, of Markdale, who is a voter in thi«niiUM>p»'ity. was present becauae he waa iu thorouvh harmony with the meeting. - We shouU Mot pre- sent a vindicitive spirit, but at the same time inuHt uphold our rich's.
