The supper follow- ing -was the best the land could pro- duce, which was done ample justice to by the assembled guests. The bride looked charming indeed in an elegant gown of white silk, long bridal veil and orange blossoms, carrying a bo- quet of roses in her band. The presents were many, costly and useful, showing the esteem in which they are held by their friends. After the ceremony and supper were over, the young couple de- parted for their home in London.

Ball had committed sui- cide by hanging. Mr. Bali was one of our best iaown and most respected business hien and those best acquaint- ed with him would be the very last to suspect that he could be guilty of coni- miting so rash an act, Ou the morn- ing in question deceased got up about, half past five or six o'clock and went out to the stable, as was his usual eas- tern to feed the horses, but not return ing in a reasonable time Mrs. Ball sent one of her sons to gall him to breakfast. Tho boy pl eeeded as directed but ou arriving at the door found it to be fast ened. He returned to the house and in formed hismother that the door was locked, whereupon Mrs..Ba.11 fearing that everything was ,not right sent for another eon who was working at Mr. Plclssac's and who at once came and made search. On opening the door he found. that<a bag o. grain had been put at the window that the hole where the manure had been thrown out, had been nailed up, and that the hole used for throwing down hay, was blocked with hay. He men weed to get the way cleared to the loft, whore to his horrible discovery hp found his step -father suspended be a rope from one of the rafters, to all appearance lifeless. The body was at once cut down and removed to the house. It was not deemed necessary to hold an inquest, as the cause of death was quiet apparent to all. It appears Mr. Ball had climbed up on a beam, fas- tened one end of the rope around a rafter, the other end around his neck, and then slid off. Death had been caus- ed by strangulation, but the features were quite natural looking, the only discoloration or abrasion noticed, being on the side of the neck where the knot on the rope had rubbed. There is no justifiable reason why he had commit- ted the rash act and it can only be at- tributed to a sudden fit of temporary derangement. He was 57 years of age and has lived here about twenty- seven years, and always seemed cheer- ful acid contented and of late has been planning for the erection of a new shop and warercoms. He was a good neigh- bor, a ktw friend and a worthy citizen and all will deeply regret the sad event which brought him to so untimely an end. The remains were interred in the Exeter cemetery on Wednesday morning. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sad and irretrievable loss, Zurich.

In this city` last summer thousands of dozens were sent to the dump and. tens of thousands of dozens were al- most useless because they reached: market too old. Our chief market now for eggs it Great Britain, and it requires care and skill to overcome the distance they land the eggs in good order; bot all care and shill is vain if the ego is not fresh when it reaches the pael�er. We therefore asci you to impress on your+ farmers the importance of market- ing their eggs promptly and regularly and not to impair their" valtte by wait- ing;for Iarger shipments or holding for a rise in price. The volume of this business is now large, and with the co operation of producers, local dealers and exporters, it may be indefinitely. increased. We therefore ask you in your own interest, as well as in the interest of the trade generally to give this mat'er the care and attention, its importance demands Yours Truly D. GUNN, ?LAVELLE & Co. Aprill 22nd, 1895. Toronto. Clinton: Mr, Rattray received word from Montreal by wire on Mon- day that his son VVilliam had gone through. an operation' and was very low. About a year since a revolver discharged iu his breast pocket and entered his body below the heart.

Hillsgreen: Last Saturday night someone entered the barn of John Hag- an on the Parr Line, and stole a con- siderable amount of barley. The thief or thieves hada team of horses and a light rig. They went north a distance and then south. They were seen by a couple of parties about daylight Sun• day going direct south. There has been altogether too much pilfering go- ing on hereabout lately, and it is to be regretted that the culprits cannot he laid hold of and summarily dealt with, Clinton: The White Cloud Novelty Works, of Michigan, purpose starting an industry for the manufacture of a Hama Fastener, and Harness Buckles, in some part of Western Ontario.

Lucan: George Belts, jr., met with a painful accident in losing part of his finger, while running a circular saw at Gibsou's planing mill. Parkhill: While playing at school one day last week, Master Fred Laugh ton fellandbroke his area in two places. The little fellow is doing nicely. Brinsley: Mr. John Hodgins has sold his sold his blacksmith shop to Mr. Wm. Weir, of West McGillivray, Mr. Weir commenced business on Monday morning last. Stanley: While! Master John'; Me - Ewen, son of Mr. Malcolm McEwen, was cutting wood, he ` accit*ntly cut his foot with the axe, which will lay him up for some time. G Canton: Master Wesely Parr met with a painful accident East Friday. While in the act of chopping, the axe glanced, cutting an ugly gash across the upper part of his foot. Parkhill: Mr. George Tudor has one arm in a sling these days, Whilst at- tending to the horses in the stable one. day last week he was kicked and se- verely bruised on the arm between the elbow and shoulder, Goderich tp: The other day while the five year-old son of Mr. Edward Wise was playing about a crusher, he got two of his fingers caught in the gearing and yery badly crushed,; he will lose the thumb and part of the first finger. Wingham: One of the young men with were fined $1 and eo8ts a few days ago for furious driving on the Main street, paid hie fine, amounting in all to $2.80, in cent pieces.

Then the young man demanded a. receipt for the sante, and received it. $ 5,000 Robbery At Parkhill. On Thursday, April 7th, a package containing $5,000 in Bank Bills was shipped to the Canadian Bank of Com- merce at Parkhill by the Toronto office. The next day being a Bank holiday the officials of the Bank did not apply to the Express Agent (Mr. W. M. Thomson, the G-. T. R. Agent) for the package, and when upon Saturday morning the package was wanted it could not be found. In the meautime,e, young telegraph operator from. Gran- ton, named John Grant, and who hall formerly been employed in the office of the Railway Co, and was dismissed from his employment about two months since was observed to be spendin money very freely, and was arrested. on suspicion, when all but $200 of the money was recoyered. Mr. Thomson: , states that he placed the parcel in the Express safe at the Station oa Thurs. clay, and missed it on Friday but sup- posed it had been delivered to the con- signees, and says .that Grant must have -opened the safe with a -duplicate key and abstraeted the money. Grant, who has been on a prolonged spree. and was doubtless under the influence of liquor, claims, while admitting the theft, that he took the package off a, lorry upon the Station platform, Grant. has been committed for trial, and we shall give a full report of the proceed- ings upon his trial. It seems only fair to say that Grant made no attempt whatever to leave Parkhill with his plunder, and the whole circumstances of the case point to a drunken frolic rather than to a premeditated crime. Grant is well connected and his family have the sincere sympathy of all who know them. Grant was remanded on Monday by Judge Elliott to May 6th. Mr. E. Meredith, R. C., asked for the remand, and requested bail as well. The latter was not determined, but His Honor announced that if the °town Attorney objected to bail he would make the required amount so heavy as to haye little hope for it being secured. Clinton: A very sad and unexpected death occurred in town on Tuesday evening, in the demise of Mr, Herbert Watters. Deceased was a promising young man and had been employed at the Organ Factory; a few day's since he was laid ori work by a slight cold; this developed into pnuemonia. So trifling was the attack consider that he was out last Friday, but inflammation of the bowels ales set in, and he took to bed, rapidly getting worse, all efforts for his recovery failing. He was the youngest son of Mr. Watters, Tucker smith. He was a member of the Odd fellows Society, and was buried under their auspices, at 2 o'clock Friday. The Organ Factory employees sent a beautiful floral tribute to adorn the casket, as did also the Oddfellows.
