The Goderioh papers, unintentionally
perhaps, get off a good joke at the ex-

count of ill health he nae had to give up

appears ''the wife of Mr. Ben. Arm-
strong, of a daughter." L it not fair to
infer that the cause of his illness is due
solely to having a whole mimics class em-
braced in an atom of humanity. -[New

The New Era nays : Before the tariff
commission at Detroit Richard Hawley
i well known in this county, he having a
summer residence at Goderich) argued to
show that the United States prospered in
a much higher degree from 1860 to 1860
under the reciprocity treaty and the re-
venue tariff, than from 1875 to 1880.
Some time ago he published a work on
free trade, which showed him t0 be well
informed on free trade matters -in fast
he is accepted as an authority on this
subject.

Marlton is well and favorably known to

D. McKay, the mention of his name
will be sufficient, as all know him to b)
the man for the business. The new firm
will no doubt at once grow in favor.

LAMA. -This operetta was played on
Monday and Tuesday, under the aus-

was superintended by Miss Radcliffe,
who showed considerable ability for an
amateur. Unfortunately the neglect of
most of the singers to enunciate their
words distinctly detracted much from
the success of the affairs nearly all the
Solos were not fully intelligible to the
majority of the audience. But c,•naider-
ing the youth of the players and new-
ness of the situation to most of them,
the affair was creditable to the young
actresses. The dresses „f the children
and fairies were tastefully made, and the
music furnished by the orchestra was
very pleasing, and such as the trio need
not be ashamed of.

yesterday, the Seegmiller was declared
the champion. At a similar trial at

dered in each ease." Several farmers
also testify to the superior lhsraoter of

PKOMOTEn.--Our readers will regret
to learn that Mr. A,e, Straiton, who for
about eight,,years has very efficiently
performed the,duties of station agent for
the Grand Trunk here, is about to re•
move, he having been promoted to the
more lucrative and responsible position
of agent at Gcderich. Mr. Stratton has
made a large number of friends here,
notwithstanding his somewhat retiring
disposition, and we can heartily recom-
mend him to the people of Goderich as
one who will he a desirable acquisition
to the place. A leading member of the
Presbyterian church, and worker in the
Sabbath School, his place will not be
easily filled. His successor is Mr. Pat-
tison, of Dublin, who has already enter-
ed upon the duties of his office. These
who know this gentleman, speak highly
of him, and if he succeeds in establish-
ing as good a reputation here as his pre-
decessor will have no reason to regret
his removal to this town. -Clinton New
Ela.
OwrrPART. - The Clinton Nrtr Ern
says: -It is our painful duty this week
to record the death of a lady, who
though only a short time a resident of
Clinton, heaves many warns friends to
mourn her demise. We refer to the ,
wife of Mr. Geo. Swallow, who did on
Friday last at the age of 32 years and 3
etonths. Deosased was a daughter of
Mr. Frederick Phipps. of Toronto, and
sister of Mn. John Marquis, and Mtn
John Alexander, of Goderich township.
Fot about two years past deosessd had
been a sufferer from consumption, ani
despite all that could be dome by kind
friends and the best medical skill, this
fell disease carried her to a premature
grave. The wail an earnest member of
the Presbyterian church, and amid all
her great suffering. and even in the hour
of death, manifested her love for that
Saviour whose lows had been manifested
Ire her, and leaves behind a reoord of a
blameless life.' Her husband and child
have the sympathy of a very large eircle
of aorrewing friends
great capacity for doing hard work end
withstanding fatigue. The body was es-
corted to the station by friends and re-
latives )f deceased, whence it was con-
veyed for interment to Port Huron,
where the family burial plot is located.
bir. and Mrs. Hibbard have the sym-
pathies of the entire community in their
deep affliction.
MORE IMPORTED HORSES. -The Sea -
forth Expositor says:-Jlesars. James
Horton, of Hibbert, and Thomas Dick-
son, of McKillop, arrived home from the
Old Oountry on Saturday last. They
brought with then) one two-year-old and
three yearling stallions and a breeding
mare and feel. They are all good ani-
mate. They had a pretty rough passage,
but got them all landed here in safety,
although two of the colts were pretty
badly used up when they took them off
the cars, and for some days were in a
critical condition, but we are glad to
learn that they are now all right. ' Owing
to the carelessness of the railway hands
in shunting trains at Stratford, the
horses received some pretty rough treat-
ment there which did them more harm
than all the rest of the voyage. The
offending party was, however, reported,
and no doubt will be properly dealt with
as his carelessness deserves.
A Passenger's Troubles.
Mr. Duncan McKellar, of Minnedosa,
Manitoba; complains of hia treatment lay
the steward of the Beatty steamer "Man-
itoba," which left Duluth on August
27th. Mr. McKellar says that his wife
was sick, and unable to atay in the close,
poorly ventilated and but stateroom
above the engine roost appointed to
them, and that he asked the steward to
give them another room, where they
could get a little pure air. That official
refused, and Mr. McKellar was forced
to lead his wife into the cabin where a
bed was made for her on the sofa by some
ladies on board. A request for another
room next day, was stet by an 'oath
from the steward, and another refusal.
Mr. McKellar then decided to go on
shore and wait for the next boat at Prince
Arthur's Landing, where he received
more profanity from the steward. Af-
ter waiting for three days he took pas-
sage on the Quebec. and his wife and
hintseli were treated with much consid-
eration and kindness by the steward of
that vessel on their journey to Sarnia.

Miss Loveys, who has charged of the
needlework department at the Asyl
for the Blind at Brantfurd spent s few
days in Goderich during the week, the
guest of Mrs. Strauble. Upon her re-
turn to the Indian city, Miss Loveys as-
sumed the character of "guide," that is
protector on the journey of pupils of the
blind college returning from vacation.
This school fur the blind has been in op-
eration for many years, and is growing
more popular with pupils and their
friends every year. There are about 150
pupils, who are instructed in reading,
writing, geography, history, etc., as well
as in useful handicraft such as sewing,
knitting, making willuw•ware, cane seats
for chairs, nick-nacks in bead -work, and
the manufacture of other articles which
sell readily, A. specimen of writing
shown us was very legible. The pupils
range from 7 to 21 years of age,although
excel tions have been made in a few in-
stances in favor of older and younger
scholars. Attendance is voluntary, and
no charge is wade for residence on
beard at the Asylum. After vacation,
"guides" are sent out to gather back the
pupils. "Miss Lovey'a route is on the G.
T.H. between Goderich and Tavistock.
The pupils all seem anxious to return to
Brantford, and as a rule are of a cheer-
ful demeanor. Miss Loveys left on
Wednesday, accompanied by Master T.
Johnston, who is returning from his hol-
day visit hoine, and she expected to take
up pupils nn the way as follows: -Clin-
ton 1, Seaforth 1, Dublin 1, Stratford 5,
(4 from one family) Tavistock 1. From
what we hear of the school far the blind
at Brantford we are led to believe that
the Government is doing a noble work
in thus providing for the education in so
popular a fashion of the sightless but in-
telligent and active blind of our Pro-
vince.
THE LEEBURN BELL.
i e sin or tie Proprietor and rat -
sous of tie Foist Farms.
For a long time past the proprietor of
the Point Farm, Mr. J. J. Wright, has
been of opinion that a bell should be
placed in the belfry of the pretty little
Presbyterian church at Leeburn, about
a mile and three quarters distant from
that popular summer resort. With this
end in view Mr. Wright had subscrip-
tions taken up among his guests, and
when a sufficient sunt was collected to
pay for a bell, ordered one from the
Guelph manufactory. The bell was for-
warded
orwarded by the makers last week, and
Mr. Wright has presented it to the pas-
tors and congregation of Leeburn church
in the following neat style ;
