GEORGE ZIomrER writing from Kilma• neigh, Michigan, in remitting bis sub. eoription to THE POST Saye :—Our orope could not look much better. Hay is goad and some of the farmers are busy nutting. Corn and potatoes are doing well. A re. cent heavy rain and wind storm knocked down a lot of wheat and the probabilities are that it will not amount to much as the grain will not rise. THE Clinton New Era of last week says :—The Brussels Herald, whioh has had a straggling existence ever since ft started, was this week closed up under a chattle mortgage. There never was any ocoaeion to start a eeoond paper in Brue• sole,for there oertainly isn't room for two in a village of 1,100 population. The Herald has had four different pro. prietors in four yeare, an evidence in itself that the bueinees was not paying. LleoowEL Banner speaks of our excur- sion as follows :—The Tarnberry and East Huron Agriooltieral Societies' ex. oureion to the Guelph Model L'arm oame down from Kincardine on Monday morn• ing last and ooneieted of 26 ooacbee, ten on the regular and 15 on a epeoial. When the train reached Guelph there were 2186 passengers on board. The large attend. antis on these excursions shows the in- terest which the -farmers are taking in Ontario's Model Farm and these tripe not only give the exoureioniete a pleasant outingbut enable the farmers to follow with interest the valuable work done on the Model Farm throughout the year, BETxnn Titers Spann WANTE0.—Tale Lietowel Standard of last week says Lietowel Council is aiding the movement to have the evening train on the London, Huron and Bruce Division of the G, T. R., which now stops over night at Wing. ham, run through to Palmerston, re. turning in the morning. This would give the muob needed accommodation asked for. As the trains are now run, it le imposeible to go trona Listowel to At. wood, Bennis, or any outer point on the Kincardine or L. 0. & B. branobee North of the Stratford and Goderioh line and return the same day. As the change asked for would not entail any great additional expense, it is to be hoped that the 0. T. R. Co. will eon1ttly with it, and thus remedy a real grtovence of the travelling public.

No less than 20,• 000 pounds of way freight were unloaded at Brussels on Monday afternoon. No wonder the hands bad to work hard and the train was late. In incoming freight was a oar of shingles from Port Moody, B. 0., for P. Ament and a car of tile for agent Kendall.

OBITUARY.—About 5 o'clock last Satur• day morning the spirit of an old Ben. setae, in the person of Robt. Kerr, pas- sed away to the great beyond. rarely. els was the cause of death. Deceased first saw the light of day in Harmonook Co., Ireland, about 69 years ago, and came to this country when gaits young. He was nnited in marriage 23 years ago to Mrs. Angus McDonald, tnee Mies Alexina Buchanan, who survives him with four children. Mr. Kerr was r mof for a number of years a member the L. 0. L. Order. The bereaved family yave the sympathy of the community in the loss of hesband end father. Funeral took plane on Monday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Abey coadooting the service. The pall bearers ware W. H. McCracken, Jno. Wynn, Geo. Beaker, Robt. Graham, Walter Smith and Thos. Maxwell. D. McDonald, of Marton, Mrs. Horton and Robt. Kerr, of Seafortb, and Mr. Mo - Donald, of Blyth, attended the funeral. L00ELNo FOR OTHER WORLDS To 00N• QUER.—Alexander of old linked the whole creation of his day and then had a crying bee because there were no other people to hammer. Brussels Base Ball nine will soon have to follow Alex's example as they have defeated Milverton, Blyth, Wingham, Clifford and Kincardine and in none of the events were their oppon- ents hardly a good second. The last game was played on Viotoria Pack here with Kinoardine on Friday. After the oat -hauling they gave onr lads at the lake shore we were a little dubious of the re• suit but bad it not been for a substitu- tion of pitchers in the 6th innings by whiob the visitors piled up 9 rune it would have really been a walk -over for Braseels. Kinoardine plays goad clean ball and has a cracking good battery in NoOabe, the one arm piteher, and "our own" Bob Ross, but at the aloes of the 4th innings the score card showed Brus- sels 14 ; Kinoardine 8, and after the big 6th the visitors only soored 6 in the re - maiming 4 innings, totalling them 17 to Brunets 20 with a half innings to the good. Neither teams played e, ober game although there were numerous bright ex• hibibions whioh evoked hearty applause, Here is the score :— Battasme.

Clark, YoAI 1 YOU 1 1 — Monday morning the genial George Robb, with "malice"lafore' thought, brought to Tux POST a box of strawberries, of the Wilson variety, the like of which we have not seen this Bea- son. For curiosity we measured one of the big fellows and ascertained its 'RO- tnde to be 511 inches and its longitude Gi inohes. They were beauties and anybody who would tura up their nose at fruit like that should never be allowed to turn it down again. Mr. Robb has our best thanks. STnawnERRY FESTIVAL. — N0 small amount of trouble was gone to in the ar- rangements made for the Strawberry Festival held at the Personage lawn last Friday evening. There was a goodly turn out, the gross receipts being about 540. An abundant supply of refresh. meats was served in the shape of straw. berries, bread and butter, ooffee, ice cream, bauannas, &o. The town land discoursed a number of ohoioe selections and in addition the following program was presented, Rev. S. 0. Alin pre- siding :—Piano duett, Misses Norton and MaLaucblin ; solo, Mrs. Dasa, of Strat- ford ; tableau, "Good Night," by six lit• tie girls ; solo, Mies Belle Smith ; red. tation, Frank Lambie ; olub swinging, Misses L. Sample and T. (Gerry ; solo, Mrs. Dass ; tableau, "Red Riding Hood" ; "Lily drill" by 16 young ladies ; tableau, "Bee Hive." The rain coming on caused an earlier breaking up of the tom. o vas anticipated. An arc elec• an trio laha t amp illuminated the lawn. BASEBALL, EH ? — The Wingham Ad• vanoe says "On Friday last Winghamham and Brussels baseball teams played a friendly match on the grounds of the Brussels teals. After this great exbibi• tion (7), and the tremendous score rolled up of 18 to 81 in favor of Brussels, we regret we poked fan at Brussels last week and take it all bank. What happened our boys, we cannot imagine. One in- terested in the game says be oounted 21 errors. Wingham beat Kincardine on May 24th, then Kincardine defeated Wingham ; next, Kinoardine routed BrOesels, and then Brussels defeated Wingham, and the scores are getting larger and longer all the tiros. Come, Wingham, wake np ; do not let this oo- our again." The Times of the same town remarks:—"The Wingbam baseball club went to Brussels on Friday last and played a game with the team of that town. The more was 35 to 18 in favor of Brussels. This is a large score and neither team oonld have been any good in this game. The Wingbam base ball olub is badly in need of some "fixing" or they will need to go out of the business. We have the material in town for a good club and we would like to see the boys pull themselves together and do some work." I. 0. 0. F. DE000ATloN SlenvroE,—Iu accordance with the annual custom the members of Western Star Lodge No. 140, L 0. O. F., Bennis, held their decor• ation service on Thursday afternoon of last week when the cemetery was visited and the graves of departed brethren te- waived a floral tribute as a token of kind- ly remembrance. Shortly after 4 o'olook the long pro0ession, under the direction of Marshalls Johnston and Jackson on horseback, started from the Lodge room, headed by the town Band, some 80 broth. ren being in the line. Grand Secretary King, of Toronto, Reeve Kerr and four flower girle, Hazel Johnston, Luella Rose, Millie Grewar and Norma Vanstone, fol. lowed the prooeeaion in a carriage. On arrival at the cemetery, and after a short introductory ceremony, the sed, yet pleasant duty of planing the beautiful wreaths and boquete took place in the following order :—Mrs, 0. M. O'Connor, Jno. Parker, Geo. Hayoroft, Mrs. Geo, Hayoroft, Jamas Wilson, Mrs. Leokie, Wm. Roddick, Wm, Oornisb, A, Hamil- ton, D. A. Smale, Alex. Stewart, Donald Scott, Dan. Scott, Mrs. Wm. Smith, Peter Thompson, Wire. Thompson, and Alex, Webster. After the grave had been enoircled, and the announcement of the name of the deceased, the wreathe were deposited and an appropriate verse read. A most interesting innovation this year was that at the graves of the ladies mentioned above the four girls dressed in white, placed the flowers and than sang a verse of a hymn. Ib was cleverly done and 'was a most pleasing part of the oeremony. Short remarks were made by Noble Grand Maguire, Chaplain, Rev. 3, L, Stewart ; Grand Secretary, King ; Boos. Robertson and Paulin, Mr. Powley and Past Noble Grand' Kerr, land after singing "The moot Byo and Bye," the procession re• formed and rebarned to town. There was a large attendance of Brueselites in addition to the Odd Fellows. A number of visiting brethren were present from Wingbam and Wroxeter. In the evening Bros, King and Powley visited bhs Lodge at wbioh two initiations their plane, and demonstrated the secret work of the Order. The decoration service through. Ont was a marked encase, and was oar. tied through without a hitch of any kind. Beautiful and numeroue were the floral offoringe, and the officers and members of Western Star return thanks for the kindling shown in providing the flowers.

IN response to a letter written by the Reeve to General Manager Hays of the G. T. Be, relative to running the London evening train on to Palmerston instead of holding it at Wingham the following reply was received on Tuesday after- noon :— Den Sm,—I have your Tetter of the 24th lust., oomplaining of aneetisfaotory train service mud have referred same to our General Superintendent to have the matter enquired into fully and see what can be done towards meeting the wishes of your people. Yours truly, Cn,ta, M. HAYS, General Manager. BANQUET AND PRESENTATION. -0 , the Friday evening previous to his It -tying Stouttville for Brussels to take oh ,, 40 of the Standard Bank, M. M. Brent, who had been agent •of the Stouffville branch for several years, was tendered 1,banquet at the Mansion House, 63 persons sat down to an eleganb spread after width an interesting program of toasts and songs was entered upon. General regret was expressed over Mr. Brent's ooutemplated removal and yet a hearty weloome ex. tended to 1L, J, 111urdsu, hie successor, who was also at the banquet, and respond- ed to the toast "Monetary Iuebitatioue." —A pleasing feature of the evening's en- tertainment was the presentation of a handsome diamond ring to Mr. Brent, by ex -Warden Sanders, on behalf of the citi- zens of Sbouflville, Mr. Brent feelingly responded to the ex-Wardeu'e remarks. The Stottffville Sentinel Bays :—"As all know, the occasion of hir. Brent's depnr- tnre was fraught with much regret and sorrow, as he had especially endeared himself to those that knew him well and intimately, and also to those that came in contact with him in a business way.
