Decided to Pm lame,
From the crowded state of the James
Street Methodist Church for some time
past, it has become an absolute neces
situ to enlarge the building. With that
end in view a meeting was called
Monday, at which a large number was
present and the matter thoroughly dis-
cussed, It was finally agreed that the
church should be made square and
that the interior be of modern and am•
phetheatre style. It is not yet decided
whether they will commence work
this fall or not.
Fourth Annual Convention.
The fourth annual convention of the
Huron County Christian Endeavor Un-
ion, will be held in Blyth, on Tuesday
and Wednesday. Sept. 3rd and 4th. In
the preparation of the program no pains
have been spared to have the time fun
ly occupied with practical topics. and
the Executive have, as far as possible,
distributed the topics among the var:
ous societies of the county. The ser-
vices of Rev. R. N. Burns, B.A., of To-
ronto, have been secured to give two
addresses, and assist in making the
convention interesting and profitable
to those attending it. Miss M. S.
Washington, of Clinton, will present a
report of the great International Con-
vention of Christian Endeavor, held in
Boston, July 11th to 15th, where some
56000 Endeavorers met for consultation
inspiration and mutual benefit. While
the Executive have done everything
in their power to make the comiug
convention a great inspiration to the
County Endeavorers and Epvsorthians
they recognize that the success of the
Convention depends upon the interest
taken by the individual soeieties. The
local committee is busy making ar-
rangements to give the delegates a
cordial reception, and from the enthus-
iastic way in which the members are
doing their work, we can promise them
a good time at the hands of the Blyth
young people. .A social "at home" is
being arranged for, by which tea will
he served to the delegates, in one of
the churches, on Wednesday evening.
Biddulph,
A good number of our farmers, hav-
ing thrashed, report the fall wheat a
fair corp. Oats will be a better aver-
age, also peas are reported as good.—
Ben Marr, who was reported as dying
from the effects of a kick, we are pleas-

place, is off to Liverpool with a carload.
of horses.—Quite a sensation was caus-
ed back in Stephen on Saturday last
by a report that a win] man had been
seen in the berry patch several times
during the week. A number ot the
natives, some thirty in all, turned out
en masse to capture him on Saturday
bat with what measure of success we
know not.—Having occasion to stop at
Limerick on Saturday last at noon, to
my surprise I found a couple of our
lineal] drovers quietly enjoying their
afternoon nap at friend Donahue's. If
they were not pronounced temperance
men I might have an idea they were
recuperating on port wine.

We wish the boys success and an en-
joyable trip,—Our yillage has grown
this season considerably. Several new
residences have been built and the pop.
ulation has increased proportionately.
Of late the homes of Peter Mcisaac and
Henry Callfas have .been made glad
by the appearance of bouncing baby
boys to each of them, which events oc
curred on the lith and 14th respective-
ly.—Mr. Henry Willert is having a
ha,ndsorne brick house built on the site
he recently purchased from Mr. Goetz
for the purpose of building' a flax -mill
thereon, which he intends doing next
spring. This will be a boom to the vil-
lage and is a move in the right direc-
tion. What we want is more men of
the same enterprise as Mr. Willert. is
possessed with and then our village
will keep abreast of the times.—M, Y.
McLean, M.P.P. for South -Huron, took
dinner at the Commercial Hotel on
Thursday.—People can be seen daily
passing through our 'village enroute 80
the Grand Bend Park, which has be-
come a popular summer resort.—Mrs.

in Berlin and other na'rte, has returned
to our midst again.

class examination. We congratulate
you James, and wish yoL1 further suc-
cess in your effort to obtain a first class,
—School re -opened here on Monday
and the school house presents rather a
pleasing appearance since being re-
modelled and overhauled. It is a cred•
it to the trustees and the section now
and when thei basement is completed it
will be a fine looking structure.—The
new post office and new school house
are only the first steps in our upward
march and if the South and North ends
of the town don't get at niggerheads,
we will get along all righa —Our quiet
hamlet was disturbed one day shortly
by a drove of cows which proved the
property- cf the Hensall citizens, on
their way to the pounds. However the
owners recovered their property by
paying trig small fee of 25cts each.—
The harvest is almost in and a fine one
it has been although many thought
they were forgotten in the spring, the
hay is the only shortage and corn and
millett will make up the deficiency.

FOOT -BALL SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE.
On Wednesday evening, Aug. 7th,
the Exeter foot -ball club visited our
town and played a match with our
team. They being defeated by a
score of 2 to 0. Before coming down
they showed their confidence in the
abilities of their team by putting is in
the Times that they won the match.
Now, we think Exeter club had a lot of
gall to print such a false statement be-
fore the match was played. They must
have felt yery sore after being beaten
so badly when they were so sure of
winning. Exeter club must not get it
into their brains that they can play
foot -ball with us, for they cannot play
one side of us. It is just pastime for
us to play with them and Exeter club,
much to their sorrow, knows that these
statements are only too true. We have
thiesummer played Exeter four times
and defeated them three times, score:
8 to 0, 2 to 1.2 to 0, and the 4th game
was a tie, 1 to 1, which they again pub•
lished wrong in the Times as a victory
for themselves. They also stated that
we had a picked team, which is not the
case as every player is a bonified mem-
ber since the club organized in the
spring. ',This the Exeter boys cannot
say about their club. The Times and
Exeter club must be very great to go
in such harmony in publishing two of
those games wrong. Last, but not
least, we will say that we have played
Exeter club ill we will for pastime and
if they wish to play any more, we will
do so for $25 aside, or any amount of
money over that sum.

MN. JOSIAH BUTT was one of our
best known and most highly esteemed
residents; a man seemingly in the best
of health and spirits; with a strong
frame and ligorous constitutien, he ap-
peared to Mile many years yet before
him,' and the announcement of his
death early on Saturday morning, was
so unexpected. that people could hardly
realize itslit'uth. On Friday, in Com-
pany with his wife and two sons, he
visited his sister-in-law, Mrs. Freer, re-
marking during. the day that he never
felt better in all his life, and returned
home about six o'clock in the evening.
He had not much more than got there
when he complained of a dizziness in
the head, and paralysis of the left side,
and as if in anticipation of the end,
said "My- Father, my heayenly Father,"
following this remark a moment after
with "Blessed Jesus, my blessed Jesus."
He was at once carried into the house
and a doctor summoned, who pronoun-
ced it a stroke of apoplexy. He was
practically unconscious .and helpless
from the first attack and lingered un -
611 about 2,80 Saturday morning. He
was born in the village of Stickland,
Dorchester, England, in June, 1826,
and immigrated to this country when
16 years of age, setling in the town-
ship of Darlington,..where he married.
Miss Priscilla Hovey in 1847. In Sep-
tember of 1852 he moved to Colborne
township, which was then all bush,
and hewed out for himself a home,
and established a name for honest in
tegrity and Godly character; after re-
siding here 23 years, he sold out and
bought a farm on the base line, about
three or four miles from t,own; 12 years
ago he turned this over to his youug-
est son, Ephraim, and moved nearer
town, building just outside the cor-
poration. About 'two years ago he
moved into town, and had little more
than completed (the erection of a cam
fortable brick residence. He became
converted to God when 18 year; of
age. and his home was always open to
the pioneer preachers; in fact he was
particularly fond of anything pertain-
ing to the claims of the gospel, and
was a most regular attendant upon all
church ordinances, being a member of
the Ontario St. Methodist church. Of
a kind, jovial disposition he quickly
made lasting friends, and the esteem
in which be was held was shown by
the very large number who attended
his funeral on Monday. The pall-
bearers were all old friends, being
Messrs, David and Wm. Tiplady, John
Hardy, Jas. Stevens, John. Brickenden
and John Morrish. Mr. Butt leaves
two sons—Rev. W. H. Butt, of Cen-
tralia, and Ephraim, on the base line;
his daughters are Mrs, James Gorrell,
Pilot Mound, Man.: Mrs. Robt. Men
-
-nen, Stanley, and Mrs. Lu Smith De-
troit, His .wife also survives him.
Two circumstances of seemingly pro
viclential nature may be mentioned.
Last week Rev l W. H. Butt unexpect-
edly came up to spend a day or two
with his father, thinking he might not
again have1212 opportunity to do so; on
Friday afternoon Mrs. Mcllveen insist-
ed on coming over to see her father,
although she had no particular reason
for so doing; her husband wanted to
finish his harvest and come Monday,
but Mrs. MeIlyeen's wish prevailed, and
when they got to Verne, they met a

vise) announcing her father's illness;
fortunately • both were here before
death warted.

regular meeting of Loyal Orange
Lodge,
738, Hensall, resolutions were
passeddesirous of having the next 12th
of July celebration in Hensall. Al-
ready snbstantial donations have been
offered by the citizens of the village.
As there has never been a celebration
here, we trust that the brethren will do
all they can to secure us the celebra-
tion. We have here a good lodge, com-
posed of sober, steady young men, who
are a credit to the Orange organization,
and who will do all they can to make
the celebration a success, Votes of
thanks were tendered the Seaforth
ge and Salvation Army corps of that
town, for the loan of their drums.
