A few weeks ago Mr. Sterling, hi walking through the river flats, found the egg; of a wild goose. Taking it home he set it under a hen and the other day a small gos- ling emerged from the shell and is making itself quite at home amongst a family of chicks. It is 'quite heal- thy and apparently happy, not yet P having discovered the rttean play- ed trick 1ay- ri ed upon it when it was a helpless egg. But it will pro'bably pay Mr. Sterling back 'by eloping withthe first flock of wild geer'e which fly over after it has been . reared to mature gooseltood. DEATH OF MR, GEO. COTYLE. Mr, Thos.

' A quarter of an hour before the hour e. t for theeservice the side pews and gallery were .filled• with a subdued 'and quiet company of men and women. 1' or twenty minutes before the ser- v.ce the bell of St. Paul's church and. tl,e town .bell tolled. At a few min- t 1,s to eleven the procession, headed r3town council the. andconsisting to of 1 O.L. • No. 710, Mr.; D.

Charlesworth, sentences from' Burial office were read by Rev', W. Cosens, and addresses. NOte. given' by Rev. ' W. J. Jolliffe and -Rev. C. R. Gunne. Rev, Mr, Jolliffe . took for Vs text the words "The Cedar, the Cedar` of Leb- anan has Fallen." His address was a resume of King Edward's reign and was an eloquent tribute to the many splendid qualities which were. mani- fested during that reign, 'The speak- er dwelt upon his. love .of peace, • his noble unselfishness, his wide culture,. his comprehensive knowledge of af- fairs and his wonderful tact in deal- ing with matters pertaining to the welfare of the hm,pire and all Inter- national nternational questions. Rev. C. R. Gunne in a 'brief ad. dress spoke eloquently of the wide- spread and genuine grief which was manifested at the death of His Majes- ty, King Edward VII., and in trying to fatham the reason for this urtiver••_ sal sorrow he dwelt particularly up- on His Majesty's efforts in behalf of world-wide peace, "It was thin qual- ity of the peacemaker which' was a measure of the Devine in hint," said the rector, "which made hint so• uni- versally beloved and rte. sincerely mourned," and he gave it as his op- inion that the influence exerted by the lath monarch would have a last- ing effect upon the nations of the world ; that nations would hesitate before going to war, as a result of the influence exerted against it dur- ing the nine years of Edward's reign. The hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace," was sung and then, the congregation still standing, the organi9t played The Dead March "Saul," accompan- ied by Mr, Phelan on the violin w. the rector gave the benediction, and with heads :Mill bowed one verse of "God Save the King" .was sung. The hymn "Forever With the Cord" brought the solemn service to a close. BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. T. W.

A :large crowd witnessed a good game of .baseball. in 'the park on Tuesday afternoon, the contesting teams being , Goderich and Clinton. Thelatter won easily, .the score be- ing 7 to 1 in their favor with an innings to. spare. Tasker was in ..the box for Clinton and pitched a steady winning game throughout. In the first three inn- ings .he struck out nine men. Tommy Hawkins was behind the bat, as usual and put up the good. game that is always expected of him. 'Riley" Johnson guarded the first bag and well, as . usual, to lie sure. He is one of the reliables of the local team and can always be de- pended on in an emergency: The locals have aninfield that is hard to beat. Harry Twitchell is neat 'and nimble in the field and good at the bat. Prank McCaughey guard- ed the third bag like a veteran and Macdonald at second was a peach. Perhaps no player received more hearty applause than Murray Mcl;w- an whose pickups and throws were a feature of the game. At the bat, too, he exceln. Carl Draper is a young player but a very promising one, especially at the bat and on the bases, I3iIly Johnson was centre fielder and put up an errorless game. The "bleachers" never shout', "Alt .there 1 butter fingers" at Billy. The umpire was Bert Potts of God- erich who gave entire satisfaction,. The lineup was as follows Goderich R. 0.
