Newman, the organist of St. George's Church, Goderich, is spending the week at the Toronto Exhibition, his aert•ices having been secured by some eminent firms to manipulate their organs. Mr. Newman was selected from a number of other ap plicants having the" highest testimonials. This speaks well fur his professional ability.

Miller commands the company, and is aidtd by Lieutenauts Beck and C. Ross. The Goderioh papers, unintentionally perhaps, get off a good joke at the ex- pense of Mr. Ben. Armstrong, the well- kudwn musician, in stating that "on ac- count of ill health he nae had to give up hia music claw," while on another page 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 Era. 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. The Gateway House, Emerson, will soon come under the management of Messrs. Marlton & McKay. Capt. E. Marlton is well and favorably known to many of our citizena, as well up in his business, he having kept the Park House, Goderich, Ont., and as to Mr. 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.

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.

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.

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. Mr. McKellar says that the c the Manitoba was not to blame; the conduct of the steward towards him and his sick wife was brutal.

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 ; f THE POINT FARM, Gonaan-H 5th September, 11111 L Dias MR. TURNBULL, On behalf of the guests of the Point Farm, I ask your acceptance of a bell for the Leeburn church. The subscription has been taken up at different times and seasons from parties residing in New Or- leans, Montreal, St. Lnuu, Toronto, Saginaw, London, Bay City, Guelph, Chicago. Hamilton, Detroit, Stratford, and many other places in the States and Canada. I am ,,articularly requested to state that the sole object of the donors was simply to show their appreciation of the advantage of having the means of public worship in the neighborhood.
