The London Free Press says:—"Quite
a few members of the London Bicycle
Club purpose taking a trip to Goderich
on Sunday next. Leaving here at six
in the morning, they will breakfast in
Exeter, and then go to Bayfield. They
will reach the latter place at 10 o'clock
to enable all who wish to attend church
but, as cleanliness lives next door to
godliness, it is probable a greater part"
will take part in the swim arranged
for. After the bath, they will have
dinner and devote the afternoon to sail -
log. The twelve miles between Bay,
field and Goderich wilt be done after
tea. They will return home by the
morning train."

The London Free Press says:—"Rev.
George Jackson, the new president of
the London Conference, who will offici-
ate at the Colborne Street Church here
for the next three years, was born in
Ireland fifty-two years ago. He came
to Canada in 1860 and settled in the
county of Huron. In 1866 he began
work for the church and in 1871 was
ordained to the ministry. Since that
time Mr. Jackson has been stationed in
a number of places, beginning with a
period at Montreal. For the past three
years he has been in charge of the
Exeter church. Mr. Jackson is respect-
ed and admired for his sterling quali-
ties. He is an earnest worker and his
election to the presidency of the Confer-
ence was a deserved tribute to his zeal
and ability."

Happily Wedded.
The following taken from the Wing
ham Advance refers to a former young
gentleman of Exeter:—"On Wednesday
afternoon, at the residence of the bride's
parents, Wingham, a happy event took
place, when Homer Kinsman, L . D. S.,
of Sarnia, was met at the alter by Miss
Mina Holmes, eldest daughter of Thos.
Holmes, Esq., and the two were made
one by Dr. Gifford. Dr. Kinsman was
supported by his brother, Wren Kins-
man, of Exeter; Miss Maggie Holmes,
sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and
Miss Nora,"daughter of Dr. Holmes, of
Walkerton, the bride's brother, was
maid -of -honor. The young couple left
on the afternoon London train for their
home in Sarnia. At the station they
were showered with Eon old i'hoes and
slippers, and they took their departure
bearing with them the best wishes of a
great number of friends. The = bride
was the recipient of many handsome
presents. Only a few of the near rela-
tives were present, namely, Mr. Kine-,
man, the groom's father, of Exeter, and
Dr. and Mrs, Holmes and family, of
Walkerton."

Egmondville: One of those sudden
and very sad events, which move the
deepest sympathies of a community, oc-
curred here Sunday 7th inst. It ap-
pears that Mrs. John McKinley, Jr., of
Stanley, had come out during the week
to her father-in-law's, for the purpose
of receiving medical treatment, but
their best efforts were unavailing and
she sank rapidly till the end came
about 8 o'clock on Sunday. Mrs. Mc-
Kinley was born in the township of
Hay 2? years ago, and was thus in the
bloom of womanhood when so suddenly
called away. About four years ago
she was married to her now sadly be-
reaved husband who has been left to
mourn her loss and cherish with two
fold care an only child, a daughter,
about two years old.

ond time within a year this building

Tuokersmith,
While assisting to raise a barn on the
farm of Mr. John Stevens, London Road
Mr.. E. Plewes, of the 2nd concession;got
his foot badly jammed, and probably
some bones in it broken, which will lay
him up for sonic time. A more serious
accident occurred on the farm of Mr.
George Crich, as a number of the neigh-
bors were engaged jacking up his barn,
While Mr. Amos Townsend was driving
a wedge with an axe, the axe glanced,
striking him inside the knee joint.
Medical aid was summoned, and it was
ascertained that an artery had been
cut. We are glad to learn that he is
on the mend.—The wind storm on Sun-
day last did considerable damage in
this locality. The half of Mr. John
Stevens' barn roof was blown off and a
number of apple and other trees were
blown down, besides blowing a lot of
fences down.
Dashwood.
The picnic under the management
of the Lady Maccabees of Friendship
Hive, No. 7, was a decided success in
every particular. The addresses given
were principally the political issues of
the day which no doubt drew a much
larger crowd than would otherwise
have been present, What the proceeds
of the picnic amounted to we have not
yet learned,—The first political meet-
ing held. in Dashwood in the campaign
was given by Mr. Ratz and Mr. McMil-
lan last Friday night. The hall was
well filled and the attention very good.
We have heard that disorder prevailed
in our neighboring town at a similar
meeting on the same evening, We are
glad to be able to say of a truth that
the people of Dashwood and vicinity
are above rowdyism in all its forms and
in a public meeting give attention
whether they can sanction the senti-
ments of the speaker or not.—Mr.
Hutchins, Mr. Stephenson and Mr.
Weismiller held forth on Saturday night
to a well filled house and made a good
and lasting impression on the people.—
Dr. McLaughlin and Henry Willert at-
tended the convention at Ailea Craig
on Tuesday last.—Some fiend took the
trouble to salt Mr. Christopher Miller's
cattle last Saturday inwhich was mix-
ed Paris green and other deadly poison.
Five or six of the cattle died from the
effects, while others are in a critical
condition. Anyone who would do such
a dastardly and cowardly deed should
be put in safekeeping for the next 300
years.—A boat is being loaded with
lumber at present at Port Blake.—This
week we are again called upon to re-
cord the death of an old and much re-
spected citizen. We refer to the death
of Mr Jacob Weber, Sr., who departed
this life last Wednesday evening at the
ripe age of 69 years. Deceased was
of a kind, quiet disposition and
much beloved by all who knew him.
He has long been a member of the
Evangelical Association and died as he
lived, trusting in God. His end was
peace. He leaves to mourn his loss a
kind wife and large family all grown
up. Our loss we feel is Heaven's gain.
Wingham: During the thunder
