Freeman, of Blau - shard, while riding a bicycle collided with a rig going in the opposite direc- tion and was thrown off. The rig passed over him and it was thought by those who witnessed the unfortunate accident that he would be instantly killed, but, fortunately, it did not prove so serious although he sustained a very had cut on the forehead and received other internal injuries which may yet prove fatal. Dr. Ferguson was called and dressed his wounds, A Goon PLAY.--Finnigan's Fortune, a play put on here in Aberdeen Hall, under the auspices of the Aberdeen Hall Co., on Fair night, by the Gar- . rick Dramatic Co., of Exeter, was a splendid success. The hall was pack- ed to overflowing and a large number were unable to gain admission. The play afforded abundant of amusement by the variety of,comic character and while there was very little plot -con- nected with the performance the con- tinuous applause by the large audience was an evidence of entire satisfaction. The show throughout was clean and void of any coarseness and seemed to meet with the popular approval of all. The Hall committee are to be congrat- nlated upon securing so excellent a company and should they return again will be greeted with equally as good a house.

As a result two more young hearts have been made to hat as one and among the many marriages that have taken place in the "Stone Town" few happy participants will have more uniyer- sally the good wishes of our citizens for their future happiness and pros- perity titan the young folks who were united in the holy bonds of wedlock on Wednesday, Oct. 3rd. We refer to the matriage of Mr. Charles A. Brown to Miss Ella, second daughter of Mr. James Moore. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. C. Ed- munds, B. D., of Wellborn, at about 8 o'clock pan., in the presence of only relatives and immediate friends of the happy couple, numbering about thirty, among whom were guests froin Detroit, Seaforth, Exeter and Forest. The bride looked strikingly charming in a handsome costunie of white organdy, trimmed with lace chiffon, wearing a Wile vial and carry- ing &lovely boquet of carnations. The bridesmaid, Miss Janet Brown; of Exeter, cousin of the bride, was ele- gantly attired_ in a similar costume to that of the beide and carried a hand- some boquet of roses, while Mr. Geoff J. Paynter, of St. Marys, performed the duties of groomsman. 'rhe cere- mony over, and congratulations ex- tended, all sat down to partake of the wedding feaat which was served in the most elaborate style, the tables being most handsomely decorated as well as a lavish supply of the good things. The bridal presents were ap- propriate and formed a magnifieent array, compriaiag :aatieles of use and value to a great number, and strange to say there were no two articles of the same kind, aave two clocks. The con- tracting parties are much esteemed in social circles in the "Stone Town" and the Very warmest wishes for their doritinued happiness and prosperity is WIC terVOnt Wish Of a large circle of friends. They will make their future home in St. Marys, • , vaa'' Notes by the 'Way Interesting Sillts in Europe. (Continued from letter No. 3.) My stay in France, Paris and the Exposition was about five days and a half oe a little more. It was just long enough to become fascinated. with the city. I was loth to leave such a pretty place but pleased to think I was finan- cially able to do so, because a number that visited the place were relieved of all they possessed. I knew,er at least saw, a young man that had heen robbed of $150 and was cbmpelled to work his passage home. 1 left the city at 8 p.m. or rattier I left thehetel at that hour and after a drive of two miles and a half on a double decked bus, was final- ly 'landed at the station where I board- ed the old inhuman French train which was to draw us along to Dieppe to where we boarded a more dreaded conveyance, the channel vessel. The channel wasu't so rough this time and we were landed at the usual hour and again boardeclan English train for Old. London. After spending a day in ,Lon- don I left for Liverpool, but before do- ing so I called on Captain James Bony - land of Old London. He is Mr. Sam. J. Latta's father-in-law, (Principal of Simcoe street school, London, Ont.) Here I was right royally entertained for about four hours and a half, when I was obliged to go to meet my train. Mr. Bouyland is an elderly gentleman of about 85 or 86 years of age, but as smart and active as a man of 50 slim- mers. At one time he was Captain of an Atlantic steamer and he loves to re- late old thoe sea stories. He lives in a lovely part of the city, in a beautiful little terraie. His wife is a number of years his junior and a typical English lady. They have only one daughter to comfort them in their old days. Reaching Liverpool I found the city as dingy as ever and a little more so as it never let up raining. It rained all daar long and the people thought noth- ing of it, because they seem to be used to it. I cashed my last d.raft here and spent the greater part of the day with Mr.Pyke & Son,grain dealers,to whom, Thad a letter of introduction. Business doesn't seem to trouble the English people. Everything goes along slowly and it is only a case of extreme peril that you see a man move faster than his usual gait. I left Liverpool in the evening and went by train to Fleet- wood where I got a Belfast boat that conveyed me across the Irish sea. Al- though the sea is small it is mighty, and our vessel tossed ancl rolled in grand old style and the self same sights appeared to view. I landed in Ireland August 12th and found the Irishmen somewhat different than. I expected. The three countries, although jollied, yet are vastly different from one an- other in every respect and will remain so as long as there are Irish, Sootch and English. Landing at Belfast I found myself among the Irish. T was conveyed by a jaunting car to the temperance ho- tel there, where I enjoyed very much my first Irish breakfast. It is hard to get anything to eat in any hotel in Ireland before 8 o'clock and if any extra order is sent in, 8.30 a.m. is the time you are generally served. You are obliged to wait upon yourself; you cut your own bread, pour your own tea, etc. This -is a busy city and in a short time bids fair to be one of the foremost cities in Britain. After spend- ing a short time here I left for Cooks - ton, a place forty miles inland. It took about four hours to reach it as this particular train tra.vels very slowly I thought I would die, not being used to travelling at such a slow pace. Cookstown is a place of 4000 or more inhabitants and does considerable busi- ness. My uncle, whom I left home to visit, lives about four miles from this place. I took a car to his door and found him working in the fields, dress- ed in Irish workig attire, which can be better imaginad than described. He has a beautiful. farm, containing 90 Irish acres aD 1 he makes most of his money out o stock. I spent four or five days ver apleasantly with him, or journeying thivugh the different parts of the rural district in the north of Ireland. While here I had the pleas- ure of visiting the church and school 'where my father attended. I also called on the teacher that taught him, although it is 55 years ago since he left school. Me schools here are much 'dif- ferent from our own and the method of teaching is very odd. Yon will find from eight to twelve pupils in one seat according to size and the number in attendance. Very little is taught,ex- cent reading, writing and arithmetic. Needlework and such like is beginning to find a place in the schools, from one to two hours a day is given to that ,york among the girls. This is gener- ally taught hy a lady,who is thorough- ly versed in the same. I found the pu- pils very mannerly; but it appeared to me this was taught them in a slightly different way than we are used to teaching. The teacher is a firm believ- er in the rod. t visited a number of schools and found that all were con- ducted on a similar basis. Their holi- day's would begin about Sept. 15th, as the harvest begins then. The farmer is better used than in days gone by, jut a small rent is extracted from the farm and these farms are theirs as long as they pay the rent. Labor is cheap, as yon can get a good man for is. '6d. a day. This iS a pretty country,as there are just mountains euotigh to make it beautiful. Every foot ba land that can be worked. is worked and the rest is covered with sweet smelling and beau- tiful looking heather. The roads are narrow and crooked but well paved with stone. The farms are sinaharang- ing from fourteen to 58 Irish acres, and the fences are either hedge or stone aatthere is no thober to be Mond in the Island. Turf iS the sole fuel used, this is duly ham the numerous bogs that are Pitted all over the is- land, I Spent most of my tinie going 14: eatag,' through rural parts of Ireland, as there are numerous pretty haunts to visit, but yet had, time to visit such cities as Dublin, Belfast and London- derry and others. In all these there are many interesting things to note but space is too small and time too short to attempt a description. My visit to Scotland was short. I found the peo- ple colder and more rkerved than eith- er the English oa hish, although the business men were rather free after finding out that I was a Canadian. I journeyed through the southern part and called at Dunbarton, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Of these Edinburgh is the choicest, bub most bnsiness is car- ried on in Glasgow, although it is not the city it was in days gone by. Its streets are not the best kept or yet are its parks. The country of Scotland is not as fertile as either England or Ire- land, is more broken with bog atal mountains. The people in these coun- tries in some respects are much behind the times, while la others they are far in advance of us. You see more drunk- en men in Englaud, Scotland and Ire- land in one day than you see here in a month. Although this is the case they look much fresher and stronger than the Canadian at the same age. The expense of living here is high, es- pecially to an American, because they have HO particular rates and hence they make their own charges. fon pay 60 cents in any comnion, hotel for a bed and the same for a meal. In all these places the people live well but on plain, wholesome food. The time of my departure came at a time when I was loath to leave aa I was just begin- ning to beceme acquainted with the maimers and customs of the people. r was booked for the Furnession belong- ing to the Anchor Line and then left the last calling, place. Mobile, apart in the North of Ireland, Aug. 17th, aud I was compelled to leave a land that for beauty none other can compare. The voyage home was rougher than out and much colder. There weve 1000 pas- sengers aboaad and hence I found things rather behind what I expected. M3ropinion of the people across the Atlantic have been changed. I found all obliging and pleasant and ever ready to assist yon in any possible way. The French would express their regret by gestuves at not being able Lo render the assistance that was ex- pected of them. I shall always have the kindest of feelings for the people of these different countries. E. 3. HAGEN THE' END, Clandeboye a, Quite a number of our people took in the.
