A Good Iron
Mr. A. D. McDonald has secured
the right of the counties of Huron and
Bruce for one of the most useful and
convenient contrivances' fol. ironing
clothes we have ever seen. No more

Narrow Escape
Mr. James Hackett, of Ashfield,
was knocked down on the crossing
near Cain's Hotel, on Tuesday last, by
a farmer's team that was driven
rapidly around the corner of the
street. It is unlawful, as well as a
dangerous practice, to drive at such a,
rate in the village, and Mr. Hackett
had a very close call from serious if
not fatal accident. Though pretty
badly shaken up, his injuries were
only slight.

Arbor Day for the public. schools
throughout the Province. It should
not alone be,,,sonfined to planting trees
in the school grounds, Fut our citizens
should also turn out and plant maples
'along the various streets of the village.
There is nothing that will add more
to the beauty and appearance .of the
place than shade trees, and hundreds
should be „planted in the village this
spring.
Gone to Detroit
We take the following compliment-
ary reference to our former townsman,
Mr. Beverley Murray, from the
Glencoe Transcript : "Mr. B. F.
Murray, who has ably filled the posi-
tion of accountant in the Traders'
Bank here for the past six months,
has resigned that office and will leave
to -day ' to take a more lucrative
position in Detroit. We regret that
Glencoe is to lose Mr. Murray, who,
both in the bank and in social 'circles,
made Many warm friends. His
obliging disposition qualifies him to
fill a -prbminent position where the
public are to be served and we are sure
our American cousins will find in him
a good citizen.
Foresters Pharity-Ooncert
The Foresters of Lucknow and sur-
rounding -courts are making 'extensive

Lucknow is certainly being honored,
Foresters in April, County Contra in

Attempted Suicide
. •
On Wednesday morning Donald
Mckinnon, who has been incarcerated
in jail for some months •past awaiting
trial, charged with the murder of his
wife, made another attempt to commit
suicide. This time his implement was
a small piece of wire, vi•Thich he
succeeded in forcing about an inch
into his body about two inches below
the heart. His effort at ,self-destrue

does not appear to have experienced
any ill effects from the-operation.7-

week Mcllinnen was let off on the
charge of murdering his .wife, but was
sentenced to four months in jail for
attempting tolake his own life.

Masonic Grand Lodge
The grand master of the Grand
Lodge A. F. and A. M. of Canada, M.
W. Bro. ' J. Ross Robertson, has
decided, in consequence of limited
accommodation in Toronto during the
third week in July, caused ' by the
international convention of school
teachers, to call the annual communi-
cation of the Grand Lodge in Toronto
for the fourth week of the month. A.
formal meeting will be held in Toronto
on Wednesday, July 15, when an
adjournment will be made until the
following Wednesday, July 22.
On Suspended Sentence
Mr. Frederick Robertson, who was
some weeks ago taken to Goderich
jail on the charge of forgery, was last.
week liberated by Judge Falconbridge
on supended sentence. • A large
petition, *signed by all the leading
_eitizens-L-of-thiS
Robertson's previous good character,
was presented to the court, and this,
together with the circuinstances which
led to the committal of the crime,
caused His Lordship to deal very
leniently with the matter. , •
Juvenile Thieves
There are three or four boys in this
village that are fast fitting themselves
for a term in the Reformatory. They
'steal everything they can lay their
hands on, and there is scarcely a hen
roost in the village that has escaped
their raids. On Monday evening a
couple of them entered Mr. A. Mc-
Grory's stable and with the aid of a
• lighted match were busily engaged
selecting choice - birds, when his son
appeared upon the scene and captured
the young rascals. This is not the
first time they have been caught
stealing and we believe their case has
been given to the constable who will
no doubt bring them to justide.
No Summer Camps
The Militia Gazette is of opinion
that owing to the lateness of the
coming session of Parliament and the
non-liklihood of' the passage of the
appropriations in time, the usual,,
Summer camps will not be held tilt;
September, "though, no doubt, means
might be devised for forestalling the
action of Parliament, should it be
deemed imperative to assemble the
camps at the usual season. In view,
however, of the agitation of annual
drill of the whole force, and of the
disposition of the Militia Department
to secure this as SOOn as possible, the
militia might, reap Considerable benefit
from awaiting parliamentary action
before arrangements for the year are
made."
Oddfellows A ri nivers.ary
The members of Lucknow Lodge of
Oddfellows to the number of forty
drove to the tillage of St. Helens on
Sunday morning last to attend church
in honor of .he anniversary of the
Order. A little before eleven o'clock
the brethren, together with four visit-
ing Oddfellows from Wingham Tlodge,
assembled ,at the Temperance Hall
and marched in a body to the Pres-
byterian churcli, where the Rev. Mr.
Anderson deliyered to them an
exceedingly able and practical sermon.
Besides • the Oddfellows there was a
large congregation present, all of
whom were much pleased with the'
rev. gentleman's discourse. At the
close of the services the brethren
reformed in line and marched 'back to
the hall, and shortlyafterwards left

arch, on the centre of which were
the three links, was eroded across the
sidewalk leading to the chnrcli.

reports. The wound is not deep, and
the young man will not be off work
only a few days. The ball struck the
buckle of his suspender, which broke
its &tee, and thus the young man's
life was'saved, no doubt. Mr. Peter
Miller's hand was also injured, the ball
having grazed one of his fingers.
Have Progressed-
' The 'Indian population of Ontario,
as it appears in the annual report of
the Department of Indian Affairs, is
17,77e, and of this number only 404
called for gratuitous aid. The Miss-
issaguas of Alnwick are spoken of as
having made material progress during
the year. - They still number 236 souls
there being 'eight deaths and eight
births among them in the twelve
months since the last report of the
Department.
