vndttAtae.lteel Picnic,
The picnic given by the James Street
Sunday School in Shapton's grove yes-
terday (Wed.) was a very successful
and enjoyable affair: Early in the day
the cheerful willing workers were astir
arranging swings and otherwise pre-
vaxing the grounds for the comfort and
convenience of the scholars, their par
netta and friends. Indeed the afternoon
iraa pleasantly spent and much appreci.
ak,t by the little ones.
The front of the Oddfellows' block,
which received a bad scorching during
the fire same months ago, has been
greatly improved by cleaning the brick
and retuck•poiuting. •
Grasshoppers are doing much injury
to carrots, cabbages, turnips, cern and
other articles throughout the country.
They are becoming a regular plague
in this section, but luckily the grain is
about all haryested now.
The weather continues exceedingly
dry. The pastures and root crop are
suffering exceedingly. Rain would be
worth almost its weight in gold in this
section. How seldom people realize
they receive so much for nothing. In
some portions of rhe United States peo-
ple aro praying, for rain.

The Fruit Business.
At the annual meeting of the Canad-
ian Fruit buyers' and Exporters' As-
sociation, held in Toronto on the 7th
inst., the following resolution was pass-
ed unanimously: "We pledge ourselves
not to purchase apples on the plan of
'so much and the rise,' or to give a bon-
us, We also pledge ourselves to use
in all of our purchases, where possible,
the contract form prepared by the as
sociation." The result of this resolu-
tion, if adhered to, is that in future
apples will be purchased at a set price,
which will not vary, no matter how the
market fluctuates, between the dates of
purchasing and delivering. Many
members of the association have com•
planned that under the present system
of shipping they loose considerably, be-
cause the railways and steamboats
have a form of shipping bill which
does not compel delivery of the exact
quantity of goods shipped. In view of
this the members present bound them•
selves to accept no more "shippers'
counts" of "more or less" bills cf lading
but to insist on correct shipping bills,
specifying the quantity shipped. It
was decided that in future the growers
of apples must provide the barrels, box-
es, or bags for packing the fruit in.
Ile's Been Here.
"A fellow named McGaw, who pro-
fesses to be and doubtless is a cripple,
came to Orangeville a week ago, and
registered at the Grand Central. He
at once proceeded to get up a charity
concert "to assist him in purchasing a
medical steel appliance to enable him
to walk " The concert would take
place in the basement of the Presbyter-
ian church, on Tuesday evening and
about 40 persons were present. Only
four of the dozen performers who a-
greed to take part in the program put
in an appearance. Somehow or other
the discriminating public thought that
McGaw was a pious fraud and the con-
cert was given a wide birth. McGaw
left $1.25 at the station next morning
to settle $5.25 printing bill. He has
evidently been in the charity concert
business for some time, and the gener-
al opinion is that he has long since
scooped iu motley enough to purchase
the steel appliance with several drinks
thrown in. McGaw gave his little
game away when he posted up a num-
ber of painted advertising boards that
had the appearance of having been on
the road for some time. He claimed to
hail from Guelph which city might re-
asonably be expected to provide for
him if he has any claim upon it. Char-
ity should not only begin, but is a safer
investment at home, where its recipi-
ents are best known." --Advertiser.
The Guelph Merottry adds; --McGaw
was in Guelph some time and under-
took to do the same thing in the city
hall, but those who promised to take
part in the program failed to appear on
account of McGaw's reputation not
beingthe best.
Agricultural Societies.
The several branch agricultural so-
cieties in the South Riding of Huron
have reported the following member-
ship for this year, viz: Tuckersmith,
306; Stephen and Usborne, 278; Stanley,
172, and Hay 182, The total number
of branch society members being 928,
and this, with 85 county members,
make a total of 1,013, which is about
the usual number returned to the
Government.
Hard Times.
From the Moosejaw Times, we learn
that the drouth in that section of the
North-west is becoming a serious mat-
ter for the residents there. It is said
that for two months there has not been
rain enough to fill a washtub, and un-
less the government renders aid in
some way many will reach starvation
point before another crop may be har-
vested. A petition has been sent to
to the government praying that some
public works may be begun in that
district so that the men may be enabled
to earn sufficient to keep "the wolf"
from the door. The Times says, in the
midst of our own tribulation it is grat-
ifying to know that only a comparat-
ively small section of the North-West
has been so disastrously affected by the
drouth. Throughout Manitoba and in
the Territories as far west as Greenfell
the prospects are encouraging, and in
the country north of the Saskatchewan
an abundant yield is anticipated. It
is wonderful, too, with what fortitude
our settlers are facing the disaster. A
season's hard labor, and the outlay for
seeding have come to nothing, yet no
useless murmurings nor grumblings
are heard. It would appear that our
people have pondered the text. "For
whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth,"

Wm. Badenaeh's report showed the
year's receipts to July 21 last to be
$23,020. Of this there remains a bal-
ance in hand of $90972; The balance
on hand at the commencement of
the year expired was $10,496, The
reserve fund of the Relief Association
is gradually increasing, and is now
$70,000, the sum of $28,532,93 having
been added thereto since the last meet-
ing of the association. The surplus of
assets over liabilities of eyery kind,
added to the reserve, makes the total
amount to the credit of the association
on June 30,1894, $71,174.95. The Sec-
retary, R. Meek, reported that the
membership on June 30, 1898, was

Liens vs Hoppers.
Some of the farniers in Blanchard
and Usborne are fighting the grass-
hoppers with their hens. Large flocks
have been taken to the field where the
hoppers are the worst and left there.
The poultry keep up a constant war
on this pest, and dispose of thousands
daily. We have not heard how the ex-
periment is working, but believe it an
efficient one. Turn your poultry out
where the hoppers are bad. If some
method of destruction is not adopted
the fall wheat will be completely eaten
up.
Vacation Rapidly Passing'
When the public schools closed at
the end of June the long summer vaca-
tion commenced and a well known poe-
tess noted the welcome event with the
following stanza:-
-"The grammars and the spellers,
The pencils and the slates,
The books that hold the fractions
And the books that hold the dates,
The crayons and the blackboards
And the maps upon the wall,
Must all be glad together,
For they won't be used till fall."
It seems a very brief time since the
schools closed. The rural schools com-
menced the fall term on Monday, 20th
inst., and the civic schools commence a
week later. The High Schools will be
reopened on the first Monday in Sep-
temberr---
Increasing in Popularity.
"Time tries all things" says the pro-
verb, and the Toronto Industrial Exhi-
bition is one of the institutions that
stands the test triumphantly. Year
after year it increases in popularity
and adds to the record of its unbroken
list of successes. The Fair which opens
on the 3rd of September, ,will surpass
any hitherto held in the number and
variety of its exhibits, and the bril-
liancy andinterest of its special attrac-
tions. There is an unusually large
cumber of entries in manufactures,
machinery, agricultural and dairy pro-
ducts, in fact, in all the staple depart-
ments. Those desirous of familiarizing
themselves with the progress of the
world in mechanical inventions and
improved processes of industry can
learn more by a day's visit to the In-
dustrial Exhibition than in a year
spent at home. Entertainments and
speciality performances of every des-
cription fascinate and enthrall the large
class who seek for legitimate recreation.
The attendance this year will be larger
than ever as in addition to the greatly
reduced rates, granted by the railways
and steatnboats, special excursions will
be run from many distant points em-
bracing the intermediate localities.
The Fair continues from the 3rd to the
15th of September.

Samwell's Block
The Methodist Quadrennial Confer-
ence at its last meeting appointed a
committee to make a thorough investi
gation of the subject of the superannu-
ation allounces to Methodist ministers
The committee, making the Methodist
world itsfield of inquiry; has acquired
a large amount of information. It is
ascertained that the average allowance
to British Wesleyan superannuates is
$320 a year, exactly the average in
Canada. Australia has the strongest
fund, which permits an annuity of
$480, or 50 per cent. more than in
Great Britain or the Dominion of Can •
ada. Having epitomized the replies of
some 2,000 circuit superintendents, the
committee thinks the Canadian system
leaves little room for amendment, and
will recommend to the General Confer,
ence to be held next month in London
that no change be made in the scale of
superannuation payable to ministers,
their widows and children, and that the
amounts collected from circuits, soeiet'
les and ministers remain practically
the same.
To Dress well
It is not necessary
that you should have
your.Ulothes made from
the very best material,
neither need you have
the very • latest style,
but to look well your
clothes must fit.
This is our Aim.
Not only to make a
suit fit proper but in
the latest style,
'We guarantee
Every garment that
leaves our shop will be
a perfect fit.

Off for Training,
An instructional military camp is in
progress a Levis, Quebec. There will
be a concentration of the Royal Cana-
dian Regiment, about 1,000 strong,
made up from the various Battalions
throughout Canada. This is the first
mobilization, we beiieve, of a Canadian
Regiment. The 33rd Battalion, as far
as we have learned, will supply six
men—one from Seaforth, two fro,rn#
Goderich and three from No. 4, Capt.
Combe, Clinton. The latter three, who
left yesterday, are:—SergeantkiJackson,
Corporal ITpshall and Pte Scruton.
They will be six weeks in training.

dence, Elizabeth street, at the age of 41.
years. Deceased has for some time
been a victim of consumption, suffer-
ing intensly, and for weeks her demise
has been looked for, but her buoyant
spirits enabled her to resist the ravages
of disease much longer than was ex-
pected. She was a cheerful and loving.
friend, kind and true as she was intel-
ligent and leaves to mourn her demise
a husband and three children, two sons
and a daughter. Her funeral took
place yesterday (Wed.) to the Exeter
