FAREWELL SERMON.—The following was taken from the Tupperville items, written to the Wallacebeerg Herald - Record, July lth:--" There was a large crowd gathered at Zion Church to hear the farewell sermon of Rev. Mr. Knowles and the exceptionally able and eloquent speaker was listened to with pleasure and appreciation. Mr. Knowles is a young man, who is noted as being among the rising young men of the Methodist church, being worthy and capable of filling any pulpit. Dur- ing his two years' labor here he has shown himself a true man of God and has been the instrument in God's hand of leading many to Christ. • We would like to have kept him some years yet but it was God's will that he should go to a better field, where his superior talents will no doubt be even more ap- preciated. At the Salem appointment there was a very large congregation and many regrets at having to part with Mr. and Mrs. Knowles. The fol- lowing address was presented by the W. C.T. M. To the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles:— DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER:—We, the members of SaIem W. C. T. M. deeply regret your leaving us. Since coming among us you have helped and endear- ed yourselves to us, and have been an inspiration to our union. 'You have assisted us by counsel and have ever been willing to help in the temperance cause. We feel and hope our loss is others gain. In this life we meet to part, so must submit. Our wisheS-and prayers go with you to your new field of labor, and hope through God you may be endeared and more a blessing to him. (Signed) BY SISTERS IN THE WORK.. Aroiind AbOtat US Ilensall: H.

St. Marys: Mrs. George Brown, of Ontario St., West ward, received a letter last week from her son, Bert, at St. Joseph, Ind., stating that it was thought his brother, Walter, had been drowned near Atchinson, Colorado. The body found was not recognizable but in the pockets of the coat picked up nearby were letters addressed to Walter Brown. The body was so badly decomposed that an accurate description of the features could not be giyen. The body is supposed to have laid in the water about three weeks and was only partly clothed, and from the indications of the sur- roundings, it is thought that there might be foul play in connection with his death. Walter had recently gone Lo Atchison to work. He has two brothers in the west but they live several hundred miles away from the scene of the alleged death. Varna: A pretty wedding took place inSt. John's church at high noon on Wednesday, July 3rd, when Mr. William Woods,of Listowel,was unit- ed in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Aurae, eldest daughter of Mrs. George Beatty, of this village.

Afterwards a few hours were very pleasantly spent with music, games etc„ and in the evening the happy couple drove to Clinton where next morning they took thetrain fol.- Buffalo and other points for their honey- moon.

Wells, Byvon, on June 25th, when her youngest daughter, Elsie Mabel, was united in marriage to Mr. W.H.Bloorn- field, of this place, by the Rev. R. A. Miller, of Parkhill. The bride looked very pretty in a dress of white Organ- die, with valenciennes trimmings and carried a bouquet of white carnations. She was attended by her sister, Miss Nfaxggie, who was also attired in white and carried white roses. The groom 'was assisted by his brother, George. The presents, which were numerous and costly, testify to the high esteem in which the newly wedded couple are held by their many friends. Blanshard: Mrs. Isaac Benton, of the baseline, cut her throat with 0 ra- zor Thursday morning in an attempt to commit suicide, and is likely to die. Several months ago her husband was stricken with paralysis. This seemed to have preyed upon her mind and dur- ing a fit of despondency she attempted her life. Thursday morning, she arose early and went downstairs to the kitch- en. Her son, who slept in a room ad. joining, heard an unusual noise and, hastily,rising, found his mother stand- ing over a wash basin with blood streaming from a gash in her throat. Dr. Smith'of St. Marys, was summoned. He found that Mrs. Benton had man- gled her throat in a terrible manner. She had nearly severed her wirftipe and had made several gashes in her neck. To day the woman is hovering between life and death with the chanc- es decidedly in favor of the latter. The Benton family are English and came to Benton township several years ago. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Benton and a son and daughter at home who are grown up. Mrs. Ben- ton has been able to talk some since her attempted suicide :Ind. has said she is.sorry for her act. She says she was tired of life and_, cles.,p,o.„..nierit over the condition of her husband.- • SHOT HIS BROTHER DEAD. Berlin July 4.—Henry Jones,a farm- er living near here, came into town this morning- with his wife to attend the Saturday mar ket,leav ing his young sons, 5 and 11 years, at home. During the parents absence, the elder of the two children came across a loaded shot gun, used for shooting ground hogs, and while playing with it shot his little brother dead. FATAL LIGHTNING BOLTS. Fort Er ie 6.—A tervific thunder storm commenced here last night about 8 o'clock, and contained for over two hours, The ram came clown in torrents. Nothing like it has been seen in years. A colored boy was struck by lightning at, the race track and killed. Wm. Benner, who lived a short distance from the village, WCI,S also struck and killed. The traveller used for the pur- pose of unloading iron from the cars for the new international bridge was struck. MANITOBA CROPS. Winnipeg, July 3.—Crop reports show that the growth of wheat and other grains have been marvellous since the rain. It is also reported from all parts of the province that the favorable prospects have had an enor- mous effect en business, and fall sup- plies are flowing in from every direc- tion. General manager Thompson, of the Ogilvie Milling Company, stated to -day that splendid samples of all classes of grain were being received by his company from all parts of Mani- toba, and the prospects were never so bright. THE SMALLPDXIN BRANT. Toronto,July 8.—Dr.Hodgetts has re- turned from the scene of the smallpox outbreak in Brant county, and reports that in all the county there were 98 cases. Forty cases were those of child- ren under ten years of age. The indif- ference of the people to vaccination, Dr. Hodgetts saye, is amazing. Of the -98 cases, 81 were of people who had never been vaccinated, while of 56 vac- cinated persons in the houses under quarantine only 11 had taken the dis- ease. Notwithstanding this evidence that vaccination, even at a remote per- iod in the past, is of great value when an outbreak occurs, the younger gen- eration in:rural Ontario, the doctor be- lieves, is largely unprotected. CHATHAM CRIMINALS. Chathain, July 8.—" 011ie" Reeves, a young colored mar, filled ep on gin, attacked a Chinaman, giving hini if terrible beating, and rendering hem unconscious. The row took place in tbe Garner House, 'where both were employed. Reeves was warned by one of the other employes to quit the house.

The weather was perfect, and some si'X' hundred arrived by special train at 00021. Headed by the 48th Highland - era' band, they marched to the town hall, where a banquet was provided by the citizens of Clinton, and an address of welcome was followed by several spe.eehes from Toronto visitors. After lunch the procession wended its way to the park, -where some sports and amusements Were on the program. The pipers and Highland dancing of the, Misses Rothwell and Campbell were greatly a,pplaudecr A game of foot ball, between Brucefield and Sea— forth, resulted 1 to 0 in favor of Sea: forth. Base ball, Goderich vs.Clinton,, resulted in a victory for Clinton by a score of 20 to 2. A base ball game be- tween Huron Old Boys of Toronto and. Huron boys of Clinton resulted in a score of 13 to 3 in favor of the Clinton boys. There were several tugs -of -war and races. During the afterneon the High Chief of the Huron Floodeatdca was surprised by the appearane of the police van and a squad of elegant blue - coats, who took him in charge. After- wards the same fate befel Mr. McMcith, president of the II. O. B. Aesociatien: Dr. Malloch, of Toronto, 'and other. It was rumored that our M.P., Mr. Robt. Holmes, narrowly escaped the same fate. They all returned to the park, and On being interviewed declin- ed to divulge the secret -of that court, but it was presumably part of the pro - grain a,nd was greatly enjoy -ed. one of them seemed the worse for their capture by "Bob" Downs' mock police force. The evening program was it band concert by the 4811 Band in the park. The citizens of Clinton worked with a will to make the day enjoyable to their guests. The town was profuse- ly decorated with evergreens, bunting and flags galore. All vied with each other in doing their utmost for the vis- itors' entertainment, which was 'evi- dently appreciated, as members of vis- itors expressed satisfaction of the way Clinton had welcomed them. There was not a feature to amar the day's pleasure. Huron may well be proud of her boys, and her boys may well he proud of her. A SUSTAINING DIET. These are the enervating days, When, as somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fraught with danger to people whose systems are poorly siistained; and this leads us to say, in the interest of the less robust of our readers, that the full effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the propriety of calling this med- icine something, besides a blood puri- fier and tonic,—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and will wi th o u t any (10 1111 avert much, sick- ness at this time of year. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. Steubenville, Ohio, July 5.—One of the bloodiest affrays in the history of West Virginia Pan -Handle occurred at Wheeling Junction last. night, and three Italians left a trail of blood be- hind their knives, almost wiping- out an entire family.—The dead:—Xacolo Eidenour, aged 89 years, stabbed in the heart; William Eidenour a son, left jugnlar vein cut and stabbed in the heart. The injured:—Philip Ei- denour, a son, stabbed over the eye, in the breast and on the legonay die;Mrs. Jacob Eidenour, aged SO, stabbed in left side, may die; and Robert Eide- nonr, a son, cut on both arms. ,Ac- cording to Mrs. Plailip Eidenour, of Steubenville, herself and husband, with their baby, were visiting Mr. Eidenour's parents, and as they were leaving the home of Mr. Eldenour's parents, the father's family went up on the main road to see them off. Three Italians, part of a gang working on a railroad, came along, and one of them said something to Robert Elidenour, who called them a vulgar name. The three Italians then flashed stilet- tos, killed the father and William al- most instantly, cut Philip frightfully, and after stabbing Mrs. Philip Bide-- nonr and Robert, fled. BIRTHS.'
