It would not pay us to ao so. When we say we have made a h e, cut in prices you • may depend upon it THAT A CUT HAS BEEN MADE, and when we say that we are going to sell the balance of our summer goods at greatly reduced prices that is exactly what we are going to do. We do not offer you trash or old bankrupt stocks but reliable goods, seasonable goods and cheap goods. If you have a 'dollar to spend on dry goods, keep it until you can see how far it will go at this clearing sale. Do not think we are selling goods at about' half the whole - gale cost, for we are- not, but we are Selling at from 15 to 40 per cent. less than regular prices.

S. Aug. 12, '91.” It was a fine speeimeu of the goldsmith's art, and was purchased from the well known establishment of D. Murchison, and valued at the nice sum of $22. Miss Maria Murray made the pres- entation and Mr. J. G. Murdoch read the following address : To Mr, John McBain : Dear friend and fellow laborer in theMaster's Vineyard, --On the eve of your departure from our midst and visit again the land of your ,forefathers, old Scotland, the officers, teachers and pupils of Lucknow Presbyterian church Sabbath School take advantage of the .present occasion .to pr-ess our -a ppreeiation-o€ you r• faithful services, while you labored with us and,among us here. Many years have been numbered with the past since you became associated in this work of training the young for the Master. When. our school was first organized, some eighteen years ago, you were one of its first teachers, and from then. till now you have earnestly, faithfully -an d-devotedly-endeavored-to-Boiut the young to the Cross of Calvary, to the Lamb of God that taketk ' away the sins of the world ; how successfully., we can only tell when the Book of Life is . opened, and the names written therein made known, but we believe that when our Lord calls you up higher and presents you With a crown of life, it will, not be a starless one. ' We have spent many pleas- ant hours together , we will siiss you much when you are gone ; we will often think of you and we want you daily to think of us. To this end therefore we present you with this cane, as a toke'fi'of onr love and respect,' trusting it may be of use to y'•u, and assist you in climb- ing your native heather clad hills, or steady your steps along the pathway of life.. In conclusion we wish you bon . voyage, health and prosperity, and may the everlasting arms be about you to preserve you and keep you is the wish of all. Ori behalf of the Congregation and Sabbath School we beg to sign ourselves. J. G, MMRDOCH, MARIA MURRAY, JANE WILSON. Lucknow, Aug, 32th, 1891. Mr. McBain, although unprepared, feelingly replied, thanking all for their tender sympathy..and good wishes, and hoping that all would continue to serve the master with greater efforts.. Mr, McNabb; who presided, then gave an opportunity to any present to make a few remarks,, the invitation was res- ponded to by Messrs. Mathieson,'.R. -D. Cameron, D. D. Yule, J. Archibald and J. Bailey on behalf of the village, and Mr. Peter .Murray for the oountr'y friends of the recipient of the address and present. • . • Mr. George Middleton also read the following address, which speaks •for itself To 11Ir, John McBain : DI:.1lt SIR ANI) BROTHE3,-We, the members (f Lucknow (3ouncil N o,°:375.

The offices of trustee and treasurer have. been filled by you for many years with advantage to us and credit to yourself, We recognize the fact that the temperance cause owes you a debt of gratitude for your long and faithflnl service, Also that the success of the cause in, our inidst is largely due to your untiring efforts in its behalf, We sincerely regret 'that we are about to lose your faithful services in our Council and in the temperance cause in general, But • while we thus regret your nenoval front among its, we console our selves with the thought that the influence of your example and labor will still remain, We trust that while you may be absent in body you will be with us in mind, and that that thought may stimulate us to greater zeal in the cause.W e heartily wish you a safe and pleas- ant voyage across the ocean, and .hope Your t.ty n1 'our native land may 1e- o ; you all the pleasure you anticipate.

On Thursday morning Mr. McBain left in company with Mr. Peter Murray on the early train, quite a number had gathered to bid him farewell. For the info as .rom 1 r, _ c am himself, that it is possible he may come back again. Mr. McBain is a native of Inverness, and was born in Kingussie in that shire. He came to Canada 33 years ago, lived a year in Puslinch township,. county of Wellington, another year in Beverley township, county of Went- worth, was three years .deputy sheriff of the latter county, and Game to Luck - now 28 years ago, where he has been since steadily at his post, having lost only a few weeks one summer and a trip to the Old Country about eight years ago. NIURIZAY VALE. It is said to be a ,poetic gift, " To giye to airy nothings A local habitation and a name:" If such is the case, poetic genius must be rampant, else how an we accoun for the existence of Coral Wreath Clover . Valley,' Paramount, Hemlock City, , Craggy's Knoll- and a- Fost-o other "airy nothings," which are situ- ated in various positrons within a radius of ten miles according to the residences of their respective scribes But there is a'large and populas place of the greatest geographical . and his- torical import.Ince,• which has never until now, had the honor of being rep- resented in the SENTINEL. Take your geography, turn to the map of the world, and look three miles and three quarters east of Lucknow, and a mile and a quarter south' of Langaide and you won't find-MVlurrayvale, but that's where it is all the same. The city itself consists of a school, a grange hall, a. hill, five stumps and a cross road, and its population is about forty on school.days, and considerably less at other times. ,But although in com- parison with Toronto, the Vale is a small place, it has very large suburbs, and it is with these our items will principally deal.. Having made our bow .and introduced ourselves, we will now proceed to ,, tell you something about this noted place. Messrs: A. McKay, J. Gilles, C. Ross and D. Gilles left last week for Manitoba; and Mr. Angus Gillies leaves this week for Hamilton, Dakota. Mr. Wni. Dawson spent Sunday and Monday 'at his home. Will and the Queen city seers to agree well. .. Rock of .Friendship, one of the old- est temperance societies in the, County, is still alive and booming. An old time . spelling match caused a lively tirne Friday night, and a literary con- test is expected to snake -,..the next meeting equally interesting. ' Annie McKinnon and Willie Steyv- art succeeded ii'i passing the recent en- trance ekamination. . Mr. Bowes, their teacher, deserves great credit for his careful and painstaking work in, No. 9. Rev. F. Mathers left on Wednesday for Grimsby. He ,intends spending a couple of weeks at that noted resort. Mr. A. Dawson has been spending his' holidays at house. He ,has been very. successful in teaching the Grey - Ox's young idea haw to shoot. Three out of four of his pupils passed the en- trance examination. ' -The ' crops in the Vale are looking well, and ,if nothing happens tliey will he fully 'up to the average. •After reading last weeks SENTINEL the scribbler of the Vale got mad and wrote the following : ' Ye fleecy clouds that float across the blue ,,,ethereal sky, Yc tilwering mountains pu whose crests eternal snow fields lie. • Thon glorious sun whose daily round across, the vault of heaven , • Aleasurest the puny span of life to man on earth that's given.
