As usual at this time each year the Western Fair Office staff are busily en- gaged in mailing Prize Lists and other advertising matter throughout the Province, in connection with their great Live Stock and Agricultural Ex- hibition, which they hold in London, September 13th to 22nd, this year. The Secretary writes us that' he will be pleased to mail Prize Lists to any who may have been overlooked, on re- ceiving their address. Thousands have been sent out, but still there are more to follow. On examining them you will find the Directorate have had their eyes open to the continual ad- vancement of this. Great Fair, and have made several additions, alterations, and amendments to the last year's List, some of them very important to breed- ers, and agriculturalists, and others of a lesser magnitude. All of the Live Stock Departments have received some new sections, and an increase of Prizes, which will no doubt be received Kindly- by intending Exhibitors. The Poultry Exhibit has been change, ed from "Pairs" to "Single Birds," which is also keeping up with the times. The people of Ontario have always shown the highest appreciation for the Western Fair, and we feel that in wish- ing them a Prosperous future we but express the sentiments of everyone in this section of the Province, The Agricultural, Horticultural, and Dairy Departments have been care- fully arranged, and several very im- portant changes have heeu made, which` will tend to better the excellent dis- plays of past years. The Manufncterers' and Merchants' Dis lay in the other Departments have always been nbreaet with the times in newness of style awl latest inventions, and there is ever y indicatifon of im- provement. as they 'filid it a fine netts] iionelit to make e. geed exhibit at the husiness centre of the Wrest, and par- ticularly at a time when thousands from all parts of the Provi,lce and ad joining States are present to inspect their productions. • ese Kirkton: Rev.

Early in the morning the streets were crowded to see the grand procession and national parade, the representatives of different nations and Provinces being tastefully and approp- riately costumed, showing that Clinton stands in no second place either for fe- male beauty or sturdy manliness.

Solos and. duets were rendelred with very good taste ley both mother and daughter, but it is as a lecturer that Mrs. Hitchcox excells, being a ready and forceful speaker, while Irene as an elocutionist, has but few equals for her age. Greenway, The beautiful lawn opposite the Methodist church was the scene of a large gathering Wednesday night where a garden party was held under the auspices of the Boston Methodist Church. Tho choicest refreshments were served by the Ladies Band of Willing Workers and after justice had been done to these refreshments, an adjournment was made to the foot -ball ground where a. very interesting and agreeable game was - played between Grand Bend and Greenway teams. Mr, Geo. Foster, captain of the Bend team, W. T. Ulens of the Greenway team and J. faille Parkhill refree, se- lected the ground and chose position. Those looking on noticed that in a short time there was going to be a hard fight to put the ball through as every man appeared to meet his match in opponent and at theend of an hour they closed the contest, neither side scored a goal' The good nature that prevailed and the hearty cheers that were given showed that every one was pleased.

One of the most successful anniver- saries that has ever taken place under the Sunday= School auspices was held. in Mr. Andrews' orchard, on Monday last. There were fully one thousand people on the ground during the afternoon. It was very creditable to our commun- ity to see parents joining in the sports with the children. Our annual anni versary is one the social eyents of the year, it is the time when old friends who it miles apart and who take ad vantage of this special day to meet at least once a year and have a hearty good shake hands and repeat the same old stories of what had happened in the old pioneer days,—a time when num- bers of the folks at Monday's picnic, had hewn out a clearing in the forests, and instead of nice bri'sk buildings in which to join together in divine wors ship, they world meet in their home - such as they then were, an odd one of which still remains in the shape of a log shanty, and where many a prayer as fall of faith and thanksgiving as tended to our divine Creator, as those offered in the grandest edifices of our modern times. It was the local preach- er and missionaries who did the work in the vineyard in pioneer days, as many of our old friends who were with us will testify. May they live for years yet and enjoy the many privi- leges we have, which they had not in their "settler days". The band arrived in good time and after descoursing a number of *special selections appropri- ate for such an occasion, Pastor Coup - land, chairman, called the large gath- ering to order, and the days' proceed- ings were commenced with prayer. The program was made of well choseu ad- dresses by the Revs. Swan, Walker, Parish, Burke and Mr. Cann, inter spersed with selections by the band. After the last speaker had finished, Mr. Thomas Andrew who has been a most indefatigable worker in the Sunday School was called to the platform. and a presentation made him accompanied by the following address which speaks for itself:-- Eilmyille, July end, 1894 MIR. THOMAS ANDREW DEAR SrR As we have learned that you are about to remove some distance away from us, it is our purpose to extend to you a Christian farewell, and to show our es- teem to yourself and family, and our ap- preciation of your services in the Sabbath echoolr We feel that in parting with your- self and family, we are parting with true and faithful friends. Your presence in our midst and especially when you were teach- ing us to sing the beautiful songs of Zion, bas been unusually pleasant. Out apprecia, tion of your services and ability as a worker in the vineyard of the Lord, :has not been shown in the past to the extent we would desire. Therefore to convince you that our words of praise are not "as sounding brass ora tinkling cymbal" We show our good feelings toWards you in a more tangible form than words can express, by presenting to you this chair, it is but a small token of our respect, and we hope and pray that I the kind Providence may ever protect, guide and prosper you and your family to the end of life. Signed—In behalf of the .Norville Sab. bath Scbhool, Aggie Hunter, Lena Miners,. Olive Hawkins. • The selections, "British Oren idiers" and "God Save the Queen." did not by any means finish the program, for the day, AS refrl'sliments were announced at 4.30 and most every one waP ready, The tables were loaded down with ice cream, every kind of cake And pin, sandwiches, in fact everything (dihte that is usually found at an old fash- ioned Sunday School anntyersary. The ladies of the Flimville circuit made tip their mind thattheir visitors would be looked after at the tablas, and they did it to perfection. A football nater) was played between the junior clubs of Elimvilie and Winehelsea, which re- salted in a draw. Swing was indulged • in by young aitd old. A butcher's de livery wagon was notioed on the ,' ground bclooging to 1') Dayis, Exeter:, - and the writer at first though: that an extra consignment of sandwielt meat, had bests delivered, but On inquiry the writer found that the wagon .hied beets chartered by several of Exeter's elite The day was all that eoald be desired, Proceeds amoilutod co oyer $147, Every body so thoroueshly enjoyed themselves that they will nu- doubtedly go again nextyear and take their: friends with them.

Brussels: The wind storm o11 Sun- day week was a severe one. It blew out the whole front of D. Ewan's black- smith shop, took off about 80 feet of roof from the flax mill and damaged several other buildings. Shade trees also suffered, probably a dozen being broken. Lucau; On Tuesday night near mid- night Mr. J, McIntyre noticed a light in the lumber yard, and on investige- ting, found it to be in Mr, R. S. Hod - gin's store house and au alarm was quickly rung and the firemen were promptly on the spot, but the blaze was quenched before the hose was- turned. on. Lucan: About 8 o'clock Thursday- night Mr. D. MeKinnon's stable was discovered t0 be on lire, It and all tee, contents were burned. .A few minu- tes before lUrs McKiollon noticed a matt lying in the grass near the fence at the side of the track, but paid no attention to him, thinking he was tired and rest- ing. Biddulph: Wm. Galliher, a farm lab- orer living in Biddulph, was arrested.. on Saturday at the instanceofhis wife. Catharine. The domestic relations of the couple do not appear to be the hap- piest, as Mrs. Gallilrer stated that .her husbsnd beat her and frequently threatened to take her life. He was remanded until Thursday. Goderich: Dominion Day was cele- brated here in a most loyal and patri- otic manner. The trades procession was the best eyer seen here, and thous. ands of spectators were present. Over 30 firms were represented in the grand. parade. The games and bicycle races were participated in by the yarious athletes and rtdere throughout the dis- trict. In the evening a grand dispkttr of fireworks took place on the squares lasting till late in the evening. The weather was fine, and a cool breeze off the lake made it enjoyable to visitors from the ulterior towns. Goderieh: A DISGRACE TO THE TOWN The existing condition of things under the cow by law is a disgrace to the town. In many cases the owners of cows make no attempt to carry out the proyisions of the by-law, and much in- jury is often done to gardens and lawns by nocturnal visits from bovines. Some two weeks ago a very fine vegetable garden belonging to Dr. G. C. Shannon was also destroyed by the ravages of several cows during the night, and from other parts of the town we hear grave complaints. Our town council should take action at the next meeting and change this state of things. Wingham: A rather unique and daring attempt at burglary was made. 9u Thursday night last between twelve - and one o'clock by two or more boys aged about fifteen years. There is a trap-door ire the sidewalk on Victoria street leading down to T. Stiles' store and a pair of doors (ment e' into the cellar, which aro securely fastened by means of an iron bar. The boys, or one or more of them, got below the tra-- door and by scraping the earth front under one of the cellar doors would have gained access to the cellar and then all was plain sailing. A few min- utes more and the boys would have, been inside, but a resident of the sec- ond storey, hearing a noise,called back some young tnen who were passing to investigate. Then the young mis• creants, or at least one of them was captured. What they thougjit to ob- tain is hard to say, unless candies or tobacco was their object in view. Ne arrests were' made, but it is hoped that a. sound, old-fashioned frogging was administered to them, as they so richly deserved. - - Cuio.EY.--In Clinton, on June 300, Joseph Chidley, aged 'lt; years and J1 months.
