Froin an interview held with a Timesreporter, Mr. Ogilvie stated that it was not yet decided where they in - tented to build their large mill.

SERVED HIM RIGHT. -We clipthe Ol- lowing from the Detroit News: -"John Kelly, unsophisticated, from Blyth, Ont., was enticed into a gambling den yesterday, and after he had placed $20 on a card, some one rained tha cry of 'police." John skedaddled with the rest of the crowd, leaving his money, and last evening departed for Canada with $20 worth of experience."

AsKr1G TOO MUCH. -The chairman of he Hospital Committee of the City of London, has written Mayor Horton, re- questing him to give an order to admit one Miss E. Budd into the London City Hospital; said order to entail a weekly I payment, of about $3 per week for the uaintenanee of Miu Budd during her confinement in the hospital. She claiins o belong to Goderich, but lived here only a short time, and has no claim upon he town. The Mayor, we understand, will decline acceding to the request. Dasomtota Peac-ri a. -We have seen requested to draw the attention of farmers to the danger of the practice of allowing animals to go into pasture with a rope around their necks. The. other ; day, while driving near Port Albert, I Mr. J. Mountney, stage driver, observed i a horse struggling upon the ground in a pasture field, having caught its foot in • hoose nose about its neck. He went to the rescue of the animal, and suc- ceeded in cutting it loose in time to save its life. The poor brute was badly cut about the head. and was bleeding profusely. DEATH or AN l)LI) SErVi.ER.--Tho Clin- ton \e, Eoo last week said:--4htThurs- day evening last, Mr. John Churchill, doe of the early- pioneers of this section, peacefully passed away. About 45 years ago he came to this country from Tippe- rary, Ireland, residing in the vicinity of Toronto and Hamilton for about 5 years, when he and his wife moved up to what was then known a. "the Huron tract." settling on the 11th con. of Onderich township, being among the first to locate in that neighborhood. He was a man of good mental powers, and his abilities wars •reedilY recognized by the neigh - bas that had gstheted annnd. For two year he filt.d the rxssither-ot--town. ship councillor and for nine years satis- factorily discharged the dutiesoddeputy- reeve. He was ales for many years, n justice of the peace; about 7 years ago he proved M a fares on the gravel road, about leo miles north of Clinton, where he has since resided. grime time ago he wan prostrated by a severe sold. which turned into an affection of the kidneys, and which was the immediate cruse 4.1 death. Rinse last April it has leen ne- cessary for some one to sit up with him every night. He was married over 49 years, and his wife and children -7 boys anti 2 girls, all nursed survive him. in politick he was ('oneerrative. hot he wee nevertheless a pennenl supporter eef Mr. M. C. t'amenon. His remains were buried in Clinton cemetery-, on Mater - day, a large reenter of sorrowing erten Is following then, thither Through an oversight we neglected to f notice at the tine the fact that among those who passed the recent rnatricula- tion examination of the L"niyenity of Toronto were two students from our High School, viz., Wm. H. Aborn, who matriculated in Arts. and Wm. Donald, ' who matriculated in Medicine. Mr. Donald obtained 1st class honors in German, and '2nd class honors in Eng- • dish and History, a result which consid- ering the short time he had been pre- paring, reelects the greatest credit on our j, young friend's ability and energy. ORDINATION AND INDUCTION. - At a I special meeting of the Presbytery on Tuesday last a call was sustained from Knox Church, Ooderich, Leeburn and t Union Church, in favor of Rev. John A. Turnbull, B. A., to be colleague and t successor to Dr. Lyre, salary $800. Mr. Turnbull accepted the call, and his ordi- I nation and induction were arranged for 1 September 13th, at 2 p. m., in Knox ' Church, Goderich, Dr. Ure to preside, I Mr. McDonald to preach, Mr. Lochead to addrus the minister. and Mr. Mus- grave the people. Mr. Turnbull is at present rusticating at Farquhar. DELINQUENT SliescEISElta.-The Wel- lington Telegraph recently spruced up some of its delinquent eubacriiers by bringing them before the judge of the Division Court, and we copy its re- marks anent the case. "In one of the defended suits brought by the proprietor of this paper against one in arrears for subscription, the defendant claimed that he had not subscribed to him for the Telegraph. He had paid Mr. Nowhere/ one doijlar to January; 1874, after which time he did not subscribe. The paper came along, however, and he took some nut of the post-ofhcr. He afterwards moved his residence, and for over two years had not received it. The judge ruled that he was liable for the amount of $1.50 per year, it not being paid in advance, and gars judgment according- ly. His Honor said the law was very plain on the point." Sr PETEtt'e R. C. Cac*(•w.-The mosibarri at it Petit's Church nn Sunday last, beth morning and evening, were of • particularly interesting nature, a number of visitors to the town taking part, notably Mr. John Drumgole, of London, and the Missws Tellier. in the 1 morning St Clair's Mau in 0 was sung ; by the choir: fnllnwed by the Are Maria in D fleet, at the nfemery, hy Mr. Drum - gale. Th. heeut,fnl hymn, "There is a Green Hill Far Away," by Gnanmi, was also rendered most pleasingly.

Mr. James Sharpe, has purchased the market fees until the let of April for $205. The lowest offer was $75 -or, rather, $10 a month. Mrs. H. M. Tyler, child and nurse, and sister,Miss Mary Howell, of Buffalo, N. Y. grand -daughters of our genial friend, John Morris, Esqr. of Morrtsdale barn, are the guests of Mrs. Wm. Ach.esun. Mr. James Sharpe, the successful ap- plicant fo: the position of market clerk, has decided not to accept the position. The attempt of the market committee to bind him to enforce the market by-law caused the trouble. A blind man, owning a push cart, sell- ing salve, and preaching Anglo-leraelism, was in town during the week. Ills vis- ion could not have been so bad, either, fur he professed to see all the way clear back to Abraham, and none of his listen- ers were so acute of vision. His speech made "dry cuts ;" possibly his salve might stake cuts dry. INTERNATIONAL BAND TOURNAMENT. - We have received a press badge and an invitation to attend an international band tournament to be held at Ingersoll, ,n Wednesday, 31st of August and Thursday, 1st of September. $1,200 are offered in prizes, and the affair is likely to be a treat success. The judges are C. G. Conn, Elkhart, Ind., and W. Carey, Kingston. POET FRANK. -Our esteemed towns- man, Mr. Joseph Williams, is Sone of the gentlemen referred to in the following sketch of the village of Port Frank, written by a correspondent of the Strathroy Age -Port Frank is a little village situated on the Aux Stable river, which flows within 500 yards of lake Huron at this point and empties into the lake a mile below this village. The vil- lage is surrounded by immense hills of drifting sand, and is somewhat difficult to approach, but the tourist and excur- sionist is amply repaid for his trouble by the scene ,,resented to his view from the river bank and from the unfinished ob- servatory niore than 400 feet above the lake. The village consists of a sawmill owned by Messrs. Williams& Murray, a store and a poet office, a hotel of which Mr. J. B. Hazlewood is the affable and obliging landlord, and the workshops, fishing houses and residences of the boat builders, tiahermen and mill hands, of which the population consists and un- der the intelligent and far-seeing admin- istration of the worthy Mayor, Mr. John Bell, they form au industrious and peaceful community. A salt well is about to be put down by Messrs. Wil- liams S Murray, the Canada Com- pany having given a bonus of $2,000 towards the enterprise. The prospects are very favorable to a profitable re- sult, sult, and drilling will be commenced this month. OUR TOWN FATHERS. Preparing to Revolve 1M ■Ia/Mer of rub- ble Worts. Aug. 12, 1891.
