Bruce Battalion went into the training camp at London on Wednesday of this week. Duncan McLaren, jun., a farmer of Hibbert township, was run over and terribly mutilated by trains at Dublin station. A. E. Colson, manager of the Dominion Bank at Seaforth, has bean transferred to the branch at St. Thomas. His suc- cessor at Seaforth will be Mr. Jones, of Toronto. Samuel Wyatt, of Stratford, G. T. R. engineer, was fatally scalded when his engine was derailed at Port Colborne. Deceased is a former resident of Goderich and is survived by his widow and four children, Mr. James Broadfoot, a native of Tuckersmith, died suddenly at his home on Friday morning at the age of 50. For the past two years he had been in poor health, but of late seemed a little better and his death came as a shock to his friends: Mr. and Mrs. Hugh J. Darroch, Listowel, Ont., announce the engage- ment of their eldest daughter, Margaret Adeline, to Mr. John W. Pfeffer, Listowel, Ont., son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pfeffer, Milverton, Ont. The marriage will take place quietly in June. Lieut -Colonel A. Wilson, of Seaforth, who left Canada in command of the 33rd Battalion, arrived in London on Thursday. While in England the men composipg the battalion were drafted into other battalions, and practically all of them are now in France. Lieut. - Colonel Wilson, it is understood, will undertake some important work for the militia in Canada before returningover- seas. Among the recent Canadian recipients of the Military Cross was Lieut. Wm. J. Knight, of the Royal Army Medical Corps. He is an Exeter boy. and went over with No. 4, Field Ambulance as sergeant, and was transferred to the R. A. M. C. last July. The award was made for conspicuous gallantry, and de- votion to duty in an advanced dressing station, while under heavy fire. A couple of Lucknow rural mail carriers have cast horses aside and adopted the auto as a means of travel- ling. R. McQuillin, R. 7, was the first to adopt the inovation, and' he is now followed by P. Stewart on R. 4. They make the trip in about two hours less time .by the new arrangement. Of course, in the cold weather and deep snow of winter, the horses will be back on the job. James Steele had his left hand cut off at the wrist by a saw in the plant of the Paget Grain Door Company at Goderich on Tuesday. The unfortunate man was operating a swing saw, when the rope holding the balance -weight broke and the saw came forward in sudden contact with his arm. Mr. Stall is a married man with a large family of children. The occurence is the more distressing by the fact that he has always been a partial cripple.

On Wednesday, June 7th, a very pretty wedding was solemnized at Sacred Heart church, St. Augustine, when Mise Clara Maretta Foran, daugh- ter of Mrs. Anna Foran and the late J. Foran, was united in matrimony to Mr. John McCormick, formerly of Lin- wood, but late of Toronto. The bride was attired in a very becoming dress of white satin with shadow lace and pearl trimmings and wore a long tulle veil and wreath of orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses and lily -of -the -valley. She was attended by her sister, Miss Selina, who wore pale blue silk and wool taffeta, with hat to match, and carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The groom was supported by his brother, Thomas, of Linwood. After the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Father Dean. the bridal party, ac- companied by the immediate relatives, motored to the home of the bride's mother, where a :sumptuous dinner was served. The groom's gift to the brides- maid was a beautiful cameo necklace, and to the groomsman a pair of gold cuff links with initials engraved. In the evening about one hundred invited guests gathered at the bride's home and spent the evening in euchre and dancing till dawn, when the bride and groom left amid showers of confetti for a trip to the coast, where they will spend some time visiting the bride's brother before returning to their home in Toronto, where the groom is an em- ployee on the C. P. R. The bride travelled in a suit of blue silk taffeta with pink silk crepe-de-chene blouse. and a blue hat to match. The bride was once a St. Augustine girl, but for the past four years had held a respon- sible position with the Remington Type- writer Co.. at Toronto. Their many friends join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. McCormick a long and happy wedded life. Dr. J. G. McLeod arrived home in Kincardine last week from the front. On May 8., 1915, he left Kincardine. He was sent to Egypt. Here he was attached to the general hospital staff, which had accomodation for 1,700 patients. The staff consisted of 34 doctors and a complement of nurses. It was a busy time for all, especially during the fighting at Gallipoli, when every bed was occupied and the entire staff kept on the jump. Operations were exceedingly numerous, and while there was a big operating room, it was not large enough for the requirements. Many operations had to be performed outside of it to save the lives of soldiers. The doctor was thrown in largely with the Australians and New Zealanders, He pays tribute to both. The intense heat was aggravated by the fact that shrapnel fire covered the entire position of British forces througout the whole time. Dr, McLeod will resume his practice in Kincardine. EXCURSION SEASON OPENS ON THE GREAT LAKES All indications point to a banner year for pleasure and tourist travel on the Great Lakes. Even now the travel is unprecedented, and the C. & B. Line has taken quick action to care for this increased patronage by placing the Great Ship "Seeandbee" on the route between Cleveland and Buffalo much earlier than in previous years. The Great Ship "Seeandbee" is the largest and most costly passenger steamer on inland waters of the world and, with her sister ships, the "City of Erie,,and "City of Buffalo", pro- vides daily service that is high classed in all features. Steamers leave either city every evening at 9.00 and arrive at destination 7.30 the next morning (all Eastern Time). Railroad ' tickets reading between Cleveland and Buffalo are accepted for transportation on all C. and B. Line steamers, thus giving the traveller opportunity to break the monotony of his rail journey by a refreshing night's trip accross Lake Erie on a veritable floating hotel. The fares for this lake trip are con siderably less than by rail I5I,VEVALE. The annual meeting of the Farmers' and Women's Institute was held in Gorrie on Wednesday, June 21st.

Another of the pioneers of this section was, on Sunday evening, June llth, called to her reward, in the person of Janet Moore, relict of the late George McGowan. She bad been ail- ing for some time and death was not unexpected when it came. Thus passes out another of the few remaining figures that assisted in making the early history of this section of Huron County. The late Mrs. McGowan was born in what is known as the Scotch Block, Esquesing Township, Halton County, in the year 1834, was mar- ried to her late husband in 1854 and came to East Wawanosh, locating on the north half of lot 30, concession 2, where along with Mr. leleGowan's brothers a block of land of 1000 acres were taken up, and here the laborious work of pioneer life was entered ihto with energy and zeal, the township at that time being practically all in its primevous state. The deceased was a person of am- iable disposition, beloved in the home circle and esteemed by all who knew her. Notwithstanding the enormous duties of the home she found time and gave of her best to the work of the Presbyterian Church, Blyth, when in its infancy, and to her untiring efforts the success of the work for many years was most manifest. The late Mrs. McGowan was the mother of a family of eight—three boys and five girls:— Mrs. Arthur Steinhoff, of Blyth; Miss Mary, who died about 30 years ago; Mrs. J. M. Hamilton, Blyth, who de- parted this life nine years ago last February; Mrs. Wm. Richmond, Winni- peg; Messrs. William, Robert G. and Alexander, East Wawarosh and Miss Janet at home. Besides her immed- late family she leaves to mourn her loss, four brothers.May, In y, 1895, she was bereft of her husband and seven years ago moved to Blyth where she had reslded with her daughter, Miss Janet.

Walker, President and Managing Director of Hiram Walker & Sons, Waikerville, died at his home in Detroit, aged 63. 1SARD'S We Specialize on Popular Priced Outing Garments WE ARE showing a large complete range of Ladies', Misses', and Children's Whitewear Garments.

Many friends will hear with deep regret of the death on Friday last of George Elden Nethery. son of Mr. and Mrs. John Nethery. of the 3rd line of Morris.

The Belgrave Patriotic Society have shipped this week to Hyman's Hall, London, the following: — 8 military shirts, valued at $20.00; 32 pairs socks, valued at $25.00; 148 bandages, valued at $8.90. There was also $2.5.00 sent to Western Ontario Hospital Unit.

We are still asking for hospital supplies such as new cotton for bandages. and old soft linen and cotton for dressings' the same to be left with Miss Mc- Clelland. The Patriotic tea which was to be held at the manse on the evening of June 22, has been postponed till a later date. The Society will hold their next meeting at the home of Mrs. Ernest Geddes. BRUSSICLs Mrs. Jno. Galbraith was appointed Treasurer of the Red Cross Circle. Mrs. J. E. Rowland has filled the office, but her intended removal necessitated a change. An old Brusselite in the person of Adam Reid, is a welcome visitor in town this week. He lived in Langdon, North Dakota, for a number of years but is now making his home with Drug- gist and Mrs. McCall, Chatham. The latter is his daughter. Mr. Reid notes many changes among the people, He first came to Brussels in 1859 and is a veritable encyclopaedia as to the early history. Alfred Baeker bas had about 5,000 chicks hatched this season at his poultry yards here and has about another 1,000 yet to make their appearance. 600 are Barred Rocks and the balance White Leghorns, bred to lay. It is no small task to care for such a family, but Chas. Crossfield, the man in charge, has the ability and tact to fill the bill to a nicety, With eggs 20 cents and up- wards a dozen the poultry yard takes on a new interest to both villager and farmer. Mr. Beeker does a good bnsi- ness in shipping day old chicks and it is wonderful how the young birds stand travel. Senator Daniel Derbyshire, "the eastern Ontario cheese king," died at I3rockville, aged 69, LIVE STOCK 11MARKBTS. Toronto, June 16— Cattle prices have this week touched top-notch record prices for the Toronto market at this season of the year, and only exceeded by fancy show cattle prices realized at Christmas fat stock shows or special Easter cattle. Prices steadly advanced during the week, and were about 35c to 40c higher at the close than the highest for the previous week on Thursday's market several choice lots of heavy prime beef steers sold at 510.25 and $10.30. The average for gond loads of butcher steers and heifers was between $9.50 to $9.65. Cows and bulls were firmer than any day this week, top prices being around $8.75. All grades of cattle were equally firm. It is said that there are not many more of this season's stable -fed cattle left. 'those still to be marketed will probably realize high prices. It is pointed out, hcwever, that the grass-fed cattle will shortly be marketing in larger numbers, and that there will in all probability be some material setbacks in the near future At the present moment, however, the market stands at the highest point reached in the history of the cattle trade in Toronto.
