Monday Aug. 17, he was suddenly taken withlockjaw, and was removed to the hospital. An operation was performed and a piece of cloth 1 inches square, was found in an apera- ture large enough for the doctor to in sert his finger. Hill had so far improv- ed that he was able to move his jaws an inch Thursday. The farmers in Southwestern Elgin have struck a bonanza in the shape of an iron ore field. At present it is hard to say how it will pan out. It seems that at scene prehistoric date the field has been deposited by water, and it lies in a depth of from.aiz to fifty feet along the shore of Lake Erie, throughout the townships of Houton and Malahide. The farmers are at present realizing from $2.75 to $3 50 a ton delivered at Port Burwell and Vienna. The ore is shippedto Hamilton, where it is said to assay from. $5 to $7 a ton. Many of the farmers who have large deposits upon their lands have ruined them by under drainage. If the find holds out it will bespeak better times for the dis- trict, which has long been in need of a boon. An interesting suir involving the li a bility of a fraternal insurance society, when a member is killed for the incur ante. or as a result of a conspiracy with' that end in view; has been commenced in Port Huron: The casein question is the insurance on the life of the late Dr. Pope, of Detroit for whose ;murder his wife is serving a life sentence in Detroit House of Correction, and a man named Brusseau, a Canadian, as an accessory, twenty-five years in Jackson prison. Pope carried $3,000 in the ,Maccabees in favor of his wife, who assigned her claim to a legal firm in Detroit. The supreme officers of the Maccabees re- fused payment on the ground that Mrs. Pope murdered her husband for the insurance and the Detroit attorneys commenced suit for the amount. The case will be hotly contested. • Be Sure Ton Are Right And then go ahead. If you blood is impure, yoit appetite, your nerves weak, you may be sure that Hood's Sarsaparilla is what you need.

The colors are made to endure in spite of soap, rain or sun. Diamond Dye colors are brilliant and bright; imitation dyes give dull and blotched colors.

THE GOOD FIGHT. William Douglas Balfour Eh) ally Suc- cumbs to His )recent Illness --A Protnis- ing'Career Br ought to a Sad Close. Toronto, Aug. 10.—At five o'clock Wed- nesday afternoon Ron. lir. Balfour took a turn for the worse and during the next hour he sank rapidly till the end came about six o'clock. Mrs. Balfour and her son and daughter were with him to the last, and Mr. and 'Mrs. David Balfour, of Niagara, parents of the deceased, were also at his bedside. Consumption was responsible for the fatal illness that carried Mr. Balfour so soon from his hard-earned laurels. Just before his appointment as ` Speaker he almost succumbed to an attack similar to that against which he has been so bravely fighting for the past week. On Monday his death was momentarily ex- pected but he rallied on Tuesday and it was thought he might live, he himself being very hopeful. Hon, W. D. Balfour is a son of David Balfour, of the Baif urs of Kincardine- shire, Scotland. His mother was Janet WILLI:IiI DOUGLAS Daises'R. 'Douglas. He was born on August 2, 1851, in Forfar, `Scotland, and came to St. Catharines ,Ontario, in 1557. There be passed his boyhood and was educated at the Public schools and St. Catharines Collegiate Institute. In 1874, at Grosse Isle. Mich., he mar- ried Josephine, eldest daughter of Col, T. F, Brodhead. Two years prior to Ms marriage he had established the St. Catharines Daily and Weekly News in association with Mr. Matheson, and in 1874 he and Mr. J. A. Auld established the Antherstburg Echo. In 1873 4 Mr. Balfour was a member of St. Catharines Public School Board, and has since been chairman of the School Board in Amherstburg. He was also member of the Town Council, and for five years ho was reeve of Amherst. burg. For twelve years he was president of the South Essex Agricultural Society and Farmers' Institute, and for eight years secretary of the South Essex Lib- eral Association. In the Ontario general election of 1870 he was the unsuccessful candidate for the seat which ho carried. on October 18, 1882, when it was left vacant by the resignation of the sitting member. In 'tie' Wei and '90 he was re-elected, and in 1882-8 he moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne, He succeeded Mr. Thomas Ballantyne as Speaker of the Legislature, .and upon the arses.:eon of Sir Oliver .hie;vat to the Laurier Cabinet at Ottawa he became a. member of the Ontario Government, re- ceiving the portfolio of Provincial Secre Lary. In religion Mr. Balfour was a Presby- terian. His family consists of four boys and four girls, the eldest son, now 19 years of age, being a pupil at the_Guelph Agricultural College. Storm at Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, Aug. 23.—A thunder- storm, accompanied by a small cyclone and a heavy downpour, passed over this town about 1 o'clock this morning. The lightning was sharp, and peals of thun- der cracked with a force that shook the buildings like an earthquake. Only .one place was struck by the lightning, that being the spire of the Presbyterian church. The electric fluid, entering at the top of the spire, ripped out the .south side, tearing the large timbers inside into splinters and ripping off a portion of the cornice as it shot down to the ground. Damage to the church about $400; slight damage in the country to the fruit being whipped by the wind. Senator Macpherson Dies at Sea. Rimouski, Aug. 21.—Tho B. M. S. Labrador, from Liverpool, ' arrived off this point at 8.45, and put her mails on board the steam tender Contest, and landed her passengers for the Lower Provinces. They brought the sad news of the death of Sir David Macpherson, who was a passenger. His death was unexpected, and took place on Sunday afternoon, when the Labrador was in mid -ocean. Dr. Wright, of Ottawa, who was also a passenger, aided the ship's surgeon, and did all that was possible, but without avail. Given Up for Lost. Bowmanville, Aug. 22.—Not the slightest degree of hope is felt here now that A. Peat° and Miss Daroh of this place, who went out on the harbor in a small skiff on Sunday last and were driven out by a heavy wind, are alive. Nothing has been seen or heard of them since, and it is beyond all doubt that the unfortunate young couple have met a watery grave. ' Sale of T. H. & i3, Railway Bonds: Rochester, N.Y., Aug: 22. --Mr. Frank S. Upton says that President Beekley, who is in England negotiatingfor the g male of Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo railway bonds is meeting with th great auocess, this being an opportune time to moll bonds, owing to the witdrawal of English capital` from the States and the willingness of England's capitalists to make investments in Canada.

In Memoriam EMILY THOMAS, Died August 22, 1596.. The curtain's drawn, the house is still, A mother's left in Sorrow, Weeping because her dau_hter'passed Away to the long to morrow. Oh! mother, you of the sorrowing heart,. Likewise of the tear stained face, Think nob because your daughter's dead, Another can't fill her place. Oh, yes look up and fondly trust, In Him who's a friend in need, Who can cause the gaping wound to heal, Which His arrow hath caused to bleed. 'Tis He alone can fill her place, Can bind up the breaking heart, Though Lie's taken her now from this earth - 'Tis not always to be apart.

We need not speak to her worth, -tis known, By Him who gave her breath, sleeps, And by sorrowing friend who know she The long, long sleep called death, The Grand Bend. I have heard so much lately about the Grand Bend, I thought I'd go see it, myself and a friend Sec out on the junrney, the day it was fine; The day was delightful—we went the town line... The day it being warm, we thought it was. best To stop at John Manning's and there' take a rest, But early next morning we arrived at Port Blake And enjoyed a good time on the banks of the lake, From ]'ort Blake we journeyed down to the Grand Bend. Where I met Tommy Murdock, a school- mate and friend; But before I go roving permit me my man, To describe the Grand Bend to you if I can. The Grand Bend you must know, as I told you before, Is a bend in the banks of Old Lake Hur- on's shore,. Where the big diver Sauble, its clear waters send And, the curve in the river Is called the Grand Bend. Here hundreds of people from country and town, They come here to camp at this place of renown, To give you their names, now I do not in- tend, But a great many's camping back at the Bend. Its delightful they say to enjoy the Lake breeze, While resting beneath theevergreen trees,, That grow in abundadce upon the lake shore, And listen enchanted to Lake Huron's roar, While describing the Bend, let me also des- cribe, 'Twas the battlefield once of the Chippa wa tribe, Where they fought for their freedom and struggled for rights, And they, died in the struggle as well as Some whites. For many's the brave left his bones for to bleach, And there're here to this day in the sands on the beach; But on this sad subject I've no time to spend, For there's lots more amusirg back at the BgaenlodreThey have sermons,and singing, , and music And sometimes have dancieg upon the lake shore; If you need recreation and the money to spend You need go no farther than to the Grand Bend. Its :amusing;to see all thatls here seeking health, And its not a bad'place if you have lots of weal th, But if you lost your health, let me tell you my friend, hat y'o're better at home than you are at the Bend, So now to conclude and finish, :my song., r n I w ill you ou more before a to .
