The greatest hopes of the Directors. Tits days were exceptionally fine, and the attend&nee unusually great. The re ceipts at the gates amounted to about $408, and this at the rate of 100. aid 5c. admission. The membership i- between 300 and 900, and thus the attendance was between 5,000 and 6,000. The receipts on Thursday evening netted $23 :the entrance f.•e loots.) being double that of last year's. Taken altogether, Blyth's was one to the banner shows of the county, and the chances now are that next year the Directors will make a still greater effort to maintain its reputation., . r1 large representation from Clinton was in attendance, and the trains north and south carried many visitors from neighboring towns The exhi- bit of horses wily unusually fine. many well known horsemen, as will be seen by the prize list, showed their animals. The music afforded by t he bagpipe competition attracted much notice. -le The follow ing is the PRIZE LIST : mouses. , Heavy -Draught Registered Stallions. —Two-year•olcl, John Mason, W Mc - Garvin; one -year-old, T McMichael, 1) Ross; stallion with 6 of his progeny foal. ed in 1888, J P Fisher, J Jlasot.

Prot, Mills, of Guelph, delivd ed an address on education College Far?- eration, in the Methodist church, on Monday evening. A goad many people here were su prised last week to find that the NEW ERA was the only paper that gave anything like a report of the Inside Steps rtnient of our fall show. ACCIDENT,—While Miss Swarts, of Clinton, and a friend were returning from the show last week, the horses became unmanageable and got away from ties driver. Tha young woman was thrown from the buggy and bruised somewhat but, recovered her. self and returned to town. We are glad to learn that she has recovered from iter injuries. Tile buggy was somewhat broken. TEMPERA NCE. --The regular quar- terly meeting of the District Lodge, I O Cr T, was .held in the temperance hall, on \Vednesday, 17th Inst., and although the weather was very un- favorable the attendance was good. Many of the most prominent workers of the Order in the county' were pre- sent. ' The following lodges were re presented, viz , Brussels, llelgrave, Londesboro, Kinburn, Ebent zer,Lee• burn, Westfield, St. Helene, Auburn and Blyth. The Sec., Wm. Pollock, presented an excellent report, show- ing that. the Order was in a flourish- ing condition. J. 11. Macmullen, G. C. '1'., of Toronto, was present and by his council and ' advice, aided very materially in the work 'of the meeting. The Executive Committee was em- powered to engage an organizer to push on the organizing of new lodges in the different parts of the county where an opening could be found. The following members -compose the .Executive Committee:—Frank Met. cal f,'D:C.T, Blyth; Wm.Pollock, Die. Sec., Blyth; Jas. Byers, D. C., Brus- sels; S. B. Williams, Leeburn, and Miss M. Webb, D. V. T., St. Helens. In the evening a public meeting was held at which F. S. Spence, of To- ronto, P.G.C.T, delivered an excel. lent lecture on "Our lodge and order,” together with the effects of alcohol on. the human system. The lecture was replete with•anecdotes,and was eagerly and attentively listened to by the large audience that completely filled the hall. The chair was occupied by Frank Metcalf, D. C. T,, and short, addresses were delivered by J. II. Macmullen, G. C. T., and E.Dawson. Grand Lodge Lecturer. Sunimerh ill. Messrs Laithwaite and McBrien are still on the rounds threshing, but that business is about exhausted for this year. The bridge here has been improved by the addition of new plank. This will make the bridge a great deal safer for traffic. Will Wallace, who bas been absent in the old country for the past few weeks, has returned and brought some valuable horseflesh with him. Tho "squirrel hunt" will take place to -day (Friday) and the supper will be provided at the house of Mr Robt.' Miller. A good time is expected. The cool air, the short days, the partial absence of birds, the gilt "summer tresses of the trees" and the renewed friendship of the swain and , his overcoat, all go to show that autumn is gone half way to meet winter,—Cott. - Leeburn. Mr Jas. Taylor has a Baldwin tree from which he gathered seven barrels of apples this fall. The members of the Band of Hope here are preparing for an entertain- ment to be held on or about the 29th. Mr and Mrs H: Horton,of Dunlop, are both at present under the doctor s care, We hope soon to hear of their recovery. Mr Arthur Williams is having a new stable erected on his Muskoka farm. Mr D. Cumming is doing the frame work, Mr Arthur Horton is busily en- gaged in digging out a large cellar and having it stoned •up, over which he intends building a new house, this fill. The farmers ot this vicinity are ,roing in largely on fruit orcdards, IVe understand that at least three namely, ;Messrs Tobin, Sterling and Watson, have each purcuased 1001 trees• Exeter. A large number •'f our citizens are at present laid tip with typhoid fever. Business was brisk i•) t' syn on Saturday last cnnsiderieg the very wet weather. A large amount of •7 rain is coining into market daily, and commands good prices. Messrs 1) 11!11+ & D McCall of this place, shipped 3 ears or tall ap- ples to the Chicago market on S.tt.ur- day last. An unoceupied frame dwelling, at the north end of the village, was burned down on Friday morning of last week. Tnero are no less than 4 stores in town running bankrupt stocks, which hes a tendency to injure our local merchants considerably. Mr I Bowerman, of this place, tc ok 1st prize at the Aliso. Craig show, on Friday last, with his impdrted heavy draught team of mares. Mr Tom Balkwill, of the London Road South, has about 200 barrels of winter apples in his orchard this sea- son. They are an excellent quality. Apple picking is the order of the day, and agreat many barrels are be- ing harvested daily which are selling in the neighborhood of $1 per barrel for first class winter fruit. Messrs Colquhouu & Dow, of this place, sold half interest of two of their young imported Clydesdale stallions to Mr S. Greenwood, of Douglass, Man. Mr Colquhoun shipped them on Monday last from this station and will accompany them to their destina- tion. \Ve wish him bon voyage and a safe return. Ashfield. . The frequent showers of late have made the fall wheat prevent a beauti- ful appearance. Mr C.00d,fatt•er of Mrs E.Andrews, is seriously ill, but we hope to hear of his recovery. Itev Mr Green occupied the pulpits of Hope and Zion churches, last Sab- bath, very acceptably. The district Sabbath School con- vention in connection with the Ash- field•circuit, will be held in Blake's hail, to -day (Friday.) Mr Edward Andrews has returned from Manitoba. Ile reports the wheat as seriously injured by the frost in a great many places. llttllett. Reetil.l' oe r;ooD FA AMIXU.—Last week Messrs Boyd & Hefterman threshed on the farm of Mr John Mills, lot 5, 14ih con. of Hulett, three thousand bushels of grain, mainly wheat, peas, and barley. Mr Mills has earned for himself the name of being one of the best farmers in this section, and is bound to keep up that reputation. ON Tag wait PATH,—The collec- tor of taxes is ab nit the only man who can get money whenever he wants it, and people, actually seem glad to pay it to him. Perhaps this is because Tom -Neilans is such a jovial, whole-•souled fellow that it is a pleasure to,t}ave anything to do with him. It may interest some of our readers in Hullett to know that Mr James McMichael, now liv- ing retired in Seaforth, was the first tax gatherer in the township of Hui - let, the total amount of, taxes then amounting to the sum of.£46. DEATH FROM ACCIDENT. Two weeks ago last Wednesday Miss Lans- ing, youngest daugther of Mr David Lansing, of the base line, went with her mother to the house of Mr Elkin, near Manchester, and while. trying to get into the buggy, the horse became unmanageable and ran'awayserioualy iojuring both Miss Lansing and her mother. The mother recovered from her injuries, but the daughter con- tinued to suffer, notwithstanding that everything possible was done for her relief, and she died on Wednesday morning. She was a very estimable young girl, and passed the last en- trance examination to Clinton Col. legiate. Her remains will be interred in Ball's cemetery,this (Friday) after- noon. Goderic)t Township. Mrs Wm. Stirling has sold during the season 625 'dozens of eggs, for which sbs received the sum of $90. A Ban Loss.—Stirling Bros., of Devil's Lake, Dak., (sons of Mr Wm, Stirling, Porter's Hill,) recently met with a very bad loss. Their wheat was destroyed by the frost, and they, therefore, did not cutit,and the:other day a running fire, which .:started from a thresher two miles away, de- stroyed all the oats and barley—about 1200 bushels—together with their hay. This is the second time they have been burned out and it comes pretty hard on beginners. Gnat:aRY. — Reference was last week made to the death of Mrs Moore, of the base line, and a more extended notice is given this week, Deceased was born near Brockelsby, Lincoln- shire, Eng,, and emigrated to this country, wit!rher husband, in the year 3851, They came at -once to the Huron tract and settled on the lot where she died. Of course the entire section was then a dense wilderness, and neighbors few are far between, bot both Mr and Mrs Moore soon be- came known among the early settlers as genial and hospitable neighbors. Mr Moore died abont 17 years ago, since which time Mrs Moore has re- sided with her son Lausan, She was a member of the Baptist church long 'before she left the old country, and retflined her connection therewith through life, although shewas a will- ing worker with any religious deno- mination, `•tho was only sick three days,being striken.down on Thursday, and passing home to her eternal rest on Sunday morning. Her funeral on Tuesday was very largely nttende•l. > he was ager] 86 year.. 11Ol5u11't' H0911',HS Piiblluker 1 41.5(1 a) vat. 1 adroaxce. Kiubnrn. telegraph company. We wonder if Hill's Green.
