c lir. te. Ferguson
ON of those pleasing events that tend
to ism that good citizenship is appreci-
ated by • large number of people, took
place at Bailey's hotel on the evening of
Thursday of last week, when a coutph-
assatary supper was tendered by the
oitiaens of Goderich, and a handsome "Z"
jewel waspresented to Mr. D. Ferguson,
an oldand much respected business matt,
prior to his departure for Detroit, %here
he purposes going into trade.
After the supper had been partaken of,
F. W. Johnston, reeve of Ouderich, was
called to the chair, and the folowing
touts were given and duly responded
to :
The Queen—"God Save the Queen.'
The Prince of Wales and royal family
—Song.
The guest of the evening" was then
introduced by the chairman in an appro-
priate manner, and the character and in-
tregrity of Mr. Ferguson were highly
spoken of.
When the chairman had resumed his
seat, Mr. It. Radcliffe arose, and after a
few pleasing prefatory remarks pre
✓ ented the guest of the evening, un be
half of Huron Royal Arch Chapter, with
a past principal's jewel.
Mr. Ferguson, in responding, thanked
the doners for the valuable present which
they had given him, and also thanked
the residents of Goderich fur the kindly
feeling shown him since his advent to
the town. In conclusion, he assured
them that no matter where he went the
recollection of the kindly feelings ex-
pressed to him on this occasion would
never fade from hia memory.

During the absence of Hon. Mr. Mowat

It does not always pay to hire •cheap
labor. Two young men of excellent ad-
dress, with their wives of equally good
appesrance,offer'ed their services as clerks
in a Missouri store. As they showed a
familiarity with the business, and were
willing to work for half the usual wages,
the four old employees of the concern
were dismissed to give place to the strang-
ers. One dark night at the end of a
month they disappeared with $9000 worth
of goods.
The Tory candidate for Algoma, Mr.
W. H. Plummer, recently held a meet-
ing at Rat Portage. He was asked by
the Mayor would he, if elected, support
incorporation under Manitoba. He re-
plied that he would vote with his party.
The ?stayer clinched the matter by ask-
ing why, if Rat Portage was in Manitoba
its people should vote for a member of
the Ontario Legislature. He had not
received an answer up to the time of
going to press.—{Ex.
TaMPRaaNI'a RALLY.—There was a
stir at the Temperance Hall on Satur-
day morning, when I. 0, G. T. Lodge
No. 213, assembled to go to the union
pic-nic at Benmiller. About 9 o'clock
Marshal John Hall gave the word, and
seven teams, laden with " precious
freight," started for the grounds. The
head team picked up your Dunlop re-
porter, and a warn[ debate between him
and a student from your [classic seat of
learning was much enjoyed by the com-
pany. Athough the theme was the peace-
able one of the respective merits of the
farmers of Leeburn and Dunlop, tall
-talk was indulged in, and coffee and pis-
tols (at ten paces) for two were suggest-
ed. No gore was shed, however, and
the eloquent debaters are again at peace.
The officers wore their new regalia for
the first time in public, and looked well.
The spot chosen for the bivolack was
in "Sherwood Forest," a owned by
the salt king, Sam. Platt. The ladies
were under the especial are of Bro. Hat -
ry Horton and G. H. Clutton, who
looked after their fair charges most loy-
ally. The pic-nic was a monster affair,
and passed of very enjoyably.—WeesTER

TI(R SICK LIST.—Last week the un-
settled weather gave our sick committee
a number of cases to look after. A
■ were case of cramps was cured by the
tonic. The bluff constable and jolly en-
gineer were deputed by the sick commit-
tee to visit the patients house and ad-
minister the potion. They did their
duty faithfully, and next day the pa-
tient was about again sound as a bell.

The young people who went to the pic-
nic at the falls, Benmiller, on Saturday,
were not as favorably impressed by the
beauty and sublimity of that well-known
resort, as a good many seem to be. We

There is a young woman in St. Thom-
as who is rather unpatriotic, but few will
blame her undoi the circumstanoes.
She appeared at the police office in great
excitement, and endeavored to obtain a
warrant for the arrest of her husband,
or at least an order compelling him to re'
main in the city, and backed up her re-
quest by stating that she had married
him only last Thursday, and didn't want
him to go into camp with the soldiers
just now.
A writer in the Washington Post finds
in the fact that Mr. Sheehan, one of the
Guiteau jurors, has been sent to the in-
sane asylum a proof that the baleful
prophecy of Guiteau, that every one who
had anything to do with his trial or con-
viction would be followed by a curse.
The writer points to the following inci-
dents in confirmation of his theory: The
death of District -Attorney Corkhill's wife
Juror Hobb's wife, and Surgeon -General
Barnes ; Judge Porter's health wrecked ;
Marshal Henry, Bailiff Stahl, Detective
McElfresh,JaiiI-waggon Guard Perry Car-
son, and the driver, James Leonard, dis-
missed from service ; Dr. Noble Young,
important witness,dead; Rev. Dr. Hicks,
libelled ; Dr. Gray, another expert. sht t
at in a Utica asylum ; Dr. McDonald,
the subject of investigation in connection
with hia administration of Ward Island,
N.Y.; Officer Pat Kearney removed from
the Baltimore and Potomac depot.
Au Orangeman on Kir John )Macdonald.
DL. Francis Junes, in his lecture on
"Witham, Prince of Orange, and his
Times," made a ver clever hit at ainat
Sir John Macdonald :
"James Il, he said, persecuted the
Hugenots at the bidding of his master,
Louis, just its the politicians of the Do-
ntinien acted under instructions from the
Province of Quebec. (Applause.) df
James II had been a modern politian,
instead of allowing the tool of his intoler-
ance, the ever notorious Judge Jeffreys
to he caught, he might have given him
five thousand pounds to enable him to es -
c,1, heft then gone round the country
wishing to God that he could catch
him."
Mr. Jones was for some years member
for Teals. He was then an ardent sup-
porter of Sir John Macdonald while he
sat in parliament. Since his defeat,like
his first parents at the fall, he has had
his eyes opened, and seems better able
to understand the tricky and insincere
et,nduct of the Primo Minister. Mr.
Jones, as a prominent Orangeman, is
likely to give Brother Sir John and
Brother Bowoll some trouble.—(Adver-
tiser.
Fenno me entertained that the crops
will suffer from the superabundance of
rain. We hear that in some sectio,$
damage has been done, especially in the
low lands. It is ail very well for people
who live in the cities to shelter them-
selves from the run until the storm is
over, but it is a very different thing to
the farmers. The fruit crops have nut.
ferd as well as the grain, the result of
which will be that instead „f having
great crops of all kinds, as everybody
expected, the crops will be anything but
great. The merchants have been very
conservative in their buying, and then
is, therefore, ground for hope that will
he able to weather the steam when it
strikes them. The effect of a "mod
harvest is to put money in circulation,
and give the merchant, something to do,
hat unless matters brighten up before
harvest time the great expectations in
which we have all been indulging will

Mr. Woodworth, M. P., had a farm
in Manitoba that cost him about $1900.
The railway officials got some gravel
from him which they valued at ,72, and
arbirstors appointed put it at $100. In
the estimation of his own modest self,
this gravel was valued at $19,317. .The
government has compromised the matter
by allowing hint $8.300. This man was
one of Sir John's mat servi'e followers
during the hast session. Comment is un-
necessary.
Mr. J. R. Cameron, for a long time
past managing editor of the Hamilton
Spectator, is alx,ut to leave chatournal
to take a similar position on the Minne-
apolis Tribune. \\-e trust the el ertator
will nut in the future 1eny the reality of
the exodus; and we will cheerfully bear
the testimony to the fact that Canada is
losing an able man, though a Tory.
Coming so aeon after the victory in
North Brant, Mr Cameron's departure
ma4-es it look as if the fates were kind
to the Ref•,nn party this season.
When advertising a piece of residence
property far sale, a shrewd real estate
agent will mention among other advan-
taves of location that "good schools are
within easy reach," that "churches of
different denominations are within short
distances," that "though in a quiet and
retired part of the city. two minutes'
walk takes you to a street car line lead-
ing int" :he heart of the city," etc. But
did you ever notice, in this enunierntion
of inducements to buy. the fact that a
tirst-class salmon was located on the op-
posite corner, nr that on the next block,
was a "free lunch counter," where the
"best beer in the city" was always on
draught, or a poola•,t.m which would
be an handy and pleasant for the boys t
No, indeed. while the church, the
school, and the easy access to business
are essential to the well being and tnain-
tanco of the home, the ethers are, in
every sense antagnostic and inimical to
everything that is reckoned dearest and
moat valued in that sacred place.
THE Cist'INNATI Bi -vl'Lbtrs. —The
Sarnia I)bserr.v has the following : "Two
ynung men,Frank Sargent and John
\V. Innes, on a fortnight's tour on bi-
cycles from Cincinnati, (him, came down
on the Ontario from Goderich onfiunday
morning, and left on the G. T. R. for

they entered Canada. Leaving Windsor

came lost in the swamp. and found it
necessary to tow their bicycles two or
