Philadelphia, Nov. 22. â€" The Albauy correspondtQt to the Times had intervifcwed President-elect Cleveland yesterday, in rhe course of which he said â€" "No harm shall come to any business interest as a result of the iidministrative policy so long as I am President. I intend to surround my- splf with the best and broadest minds in the party, and then bend all my energies toward making an Adminis- tration that shall at least assure every element that the tiansfer of the Executive control from one party to another does net mean any serious disturbance of existing conditions. It ~\ is almost incredible to me that there ' should be any feeling of uncertainty whatever as to the future so far as the result of the election is concerned. -Those who are to succeed to power by the will of their people are as much interested in the future of the United â-  Slates as those who yield it. They also have an equal stake in the pros- perity and advancement of tae couotry. They are as thoroughly committed to the maintanauce of values and as earnestly anxious for sterling business prosperity at tiieir opponents." Natur- ally they will be careiui about pro- nouncing for a policy inimical to the interests of the very class, which than any other, has thus honoured us with its confidence. Coming into power after so long an absence the party ought and will, so far as the l^^xecutive is concerned, bring liberal views and good impulses iuto thp con Irol of the Government. li would be 'Unnatural for«, party not to "ue actuated by a desire to continue in power by 'lemonstiating that it deserved the ]iigher confidence of the business and make factioufi war upon well conceived ]jlans of government. This is the view I take of the proper position for â- \ party just assuming control of a country in a crisis like this, and the standard by which I shall be guidod wliile in the Presidential office. If I fiillpw it I hope for and expect a fair ;!,ud honest response from Republicans with whom I may have relations, as well as tlie hearty support of my own party. I feel of course that I have .;reat responsibilities, and approach tliem with feelings of more or leas anxiety." •very api«oprta»e MMlkinaiy worded tddrtss, aocompuied with a valiuble silrer watch, to whidi Mr! MeOuRor nude a voy eniUble repty. Aft« a vary ptoMant eTaninn, the company separated. AirmviBSABi SravicM.â€" Qnite a diaap pointment ocenixed to the officers and mem- bers of the Methodist chnieh in connection with their anniversary services here on Sun day and Monday last, by the Bev. Dr. Harper of Collingwood, who was announced to be present on Sabbath, and lectnre the Monday evening following, not filling his engagement here. However, on the Sabbath morning Kev. Mr. McDowell occupied the pulpit, and in the evening the Bev. Wesley Casson of Markdale was present and gave a T«ty elo- quent, thoughtful and heart searchint; dis- course upon the temptations by the Devil on the Saviour. The roads were bad; the weather veiy indement, consequently the congregations were amch smaller th»ii usual. On Monday evening the tea provided by the ladies was all that heart could desire, but owing to the severe cold and blinding snow- storm the assembly of people was small, and it 'jould not be wondered at that the expected speaker of the evoaing, Bev. Mr. Casson, was not present. Alter tea the company still re- mained in the basement 'f the church, and out of those present, a programme was made up of music, recitations and maiden speeches. Some choice selections were rendered by the choir. Song by Miss Christoe, also song by Mr. C. Sproule; recitation by Joseph Black bum pithy addresses by Mr. W. G. Pickell, M. Bichardson and Bev. Mr. McDowell, which, on the whole, ma^ a vei^ pleasant and enjoyable evening's entertainment. As there was an abundance of proyisions un- touched, a social will be held in the base- ment of the church on Friday evenioK- Bev. Mr. Mclntyre of Eaoz Collcgft, Toron- to, occupied the pulpit in the Fresbyterian church here last Sabbath, much to the edifi- cation and pleasure of all who heard him. Dnndaik. ii'roTO owr own correspondent. The mixed train guing north ran though the open switch on Monday disaoling the tender •And delaying both the mixed, and the mail trains for two or three hours. Bev. Mr. Kerr, who travelled the old Artemesia circuit when Markdale,Flesherton, cud Dnndalk circuits were all in one, about twenty six years ago, conducted Divine service here in the Methodist church last Sabbath, morning and evening. The ratepayers choose another school site j on Monday last, and though three sepsrate I y.oUa have been held (.u the question it is i}uite possible there may be another. The qaestion of new buildings is not discussed at f.il now, the necessity being admitted by even the chronic growle's. The site has been for «ome time the "all important" matter. Mr. McMillan of Meaford will address an auditotce in the Methodist church on the Scott Act. When the campaign begins in good earnest, it is likely to b« lively here. Mr. Connor, late of Caledon, purchaser of the Davidson property, }ias arrived and rrec-ted a blacksmith shop prior to commen. â- :.ug busintisK in that line.

Death, on a pale horse, has paid another visit to this neighborhood his victim this time was Arthur, second son of Mr. R. Shannon. His eud was peace. The bereaved friends have the sympathy of the entire com- munity. Messrs. G. Warling and D. Walker are busy erecting an addition to Mrs. Foley's barn for a cow -stable and hay mow. Mr. T.

(From ^e Owm Sound Adeertiser.) Vor a very long time past more than a score of persons in town have lost articles innumerable, and notwitb- Btandmg the watchful eye of the owners, the vigilence of the m«ht- watchmen, and the long experience of Chief Egertion in such matters, the adroit thief went on his way rejoicing. Mystery of mysteries! Who could he be, and when could he do it This is what everybody said, and echo answered "Who " and "When I' Yet. siill things disappeared. Black smith's portable forge, sewing ma- chines, guns, arm-chairs, all sorts of tools, clothing from an undershirt to an overcoat, bales of cotton, boots, c.. c. To be brief, everybody seemed to have lost everything. This was about the size of the affair up to last Saturday evening. It was then that somebody saw somebody in the vicinity 01 Mr. D. P. Urquhart's store makiug off with a pair of boots under some- what suspicious circumstances. Mr. Urquhart just then discoveied that two pairs of boots were missing, and immediately communicated with Chief Efecrton, who followed up the trail and knocked boldly and asked for admission to the residence of oueThDmas Leigh- ton, a machinist, who lives on Scrope street. The Chief arrested Leighton, and, after duly cautioning hiin requ stad him to give up tho-e boots. And the boots were prodaced.' The Chief then proceeded to search the premises, and found, as he had expected, the clue to what had puzzled the brains of the people for so long a time. He then serclied the premises and found a number of articles stowed away. After putting the prisoner in the liock-up the Chief got A team and commenced the removal of the goods to the Police Office. Monday morning Leigbtun was arraigued at the ^Police Court for stealing two pairs of bocts from Mr. Urquhart, elected to be tried by the P. M., aad pleaded guilty. Ho was then remanded to gaol for one week, then to come up for his seuteuco. The Chief has already found tweuty- one persons who have identified their property. The following is a list of the goods identified, but there is still several articles unclaimed as yet D. P. Urquhart, 2 pair of boots • one do. overalls. Wm. Wilson, two large arm chairs. Robert Breckenridge, arm cliair. James Caton, arm chair. Samuel Graham, 6 pair long leather boots value $25. Stephen Spencer, several dies a wheelbarrow and other blacksmith's tools value $80. Win.
