CnrcEEv.—Tho Association match on Friday between Toronto and Listowel, played at the former place, resulted in the defeat of the home team by an fin- ings and 12 rune. The Toronto team was not by any means a strong ono, and their playing ell through the game was much below the usual standard. They fielded wretchedly and chances were thrown away that should have been ac- cepted. Notwithstanding this the visit - ore thoroughly earned their victory, as they outplayed their opponents at every point of the pine. Their fielding espec- ially was excellent and they received round after round of applause for their work in this most important department of the game. The game was started ab eleven o'clock, Winslow and Rykert be- ing the first two batsmen to face the bowling of Morphy and Clark. The start was a seneational one, as Wiuslow was bowled by the first ball he received, and Rykert and Collins were both treated in the same manner before a run had been scored. Meagher joined Bethune, but lost bis partner, who was caught in the slips. Dickey came in, but could not get anyone to stay with him. Wicket after wicket fell, and the innings closed for 55, a remarkably small soore consid- ering the excellent stats of the wicket. Clark and Morphy bowled wonderfully well, the former claiming five wickets for 15 rune, and the latter three for 82. The Listowel innings was begun by Dennis and Hay. The latter was caught aucl bowled before he had scored, and M. J. Hay filled the vacsncy. Runs were put on at a fair rate. Dennis was the first to go, and Morphy came in. He, how- ever, played out, after adding n single. C. Hacking joined Hay, and rune were free- ly put on, and the incomer added 14 be- fore he was dismissed. J. A. Hacking filled the vacancy, and runs still contin- ued to come. The incoming batsman, however, lost bis partner, Hay, who was grandly taken ab point for a well ployed 20. Ross Dame in, and the bowling again came in for severe treatment. Hay was finally secured at Dover point for 10. His partner did not long survive him, as be soon afterwards was taken by Collins from a skier for a well played 26. The remaining batsmen were soon dismissed, and the innings closed for 108. Requir- ing 53 to save the follow-on, the 'home team started their second inninge with Winslow and Dickey. No stand, how ever, was made. Meagher and Martin were the only batsmen who Were at all sucoeeeful, and the innings closed for 41. Morphy and Clark again bowled excel- lently, the former claiming 6 wickets for 25 runs, and the latter 8 for 15. =no:Mo. deb Innings.

Tho final match in the essential= series for the championship of the pro. vinare was played on Saturday on tate grounds of the Toronto club, between Napanee and Listowel, and resulted in a viotory for the former club by 3 wickets. Owing to the Listowel club having to re- turn home by the 4 o'clock train on Sat- urday afternoon, an arrangement was made on Friday night, between the cap- tains of the two teams, that the game should start at 9:30 a. m. and end at 8:80 p. m., in order to play out the match if possible in that time. This arrange- ment, however, was not carried out, as it was long after 10 o'dlook before the game was commenced, and when the luncheon hour arrived the Napanee were 1 run ahead on the first innings, with 8 wickets to fall. An there was no possibility of finishing the match the game was abandoned at this point, lowing the Napanee men the winners of the cham- pionship. The Listowel men having to bat first started their innings with Col. Hay and Clark. The whole side, how- ever, was dismissed for 52. Col. Hay and Clark, with 10 and 13 respectively, wero the only men to obtain double figures. Allum andBurrows bowled well,, the former claiming five wickets for 25 runs, and the latter four for 24. The Napanee innings was started by Richard- son and A. 0. Bedford -Jones, who faced the bowling of Morphy and Clark. Rune were freely put on, and when Field left, after having put together 18 in first-class form, the eastern men had the gamo well in hand. At the lnnoheon hour seven wickets had fallen for 58, and at that time it Waft decided to abandon the game, thus leaving Napanee the winners by three wickets. Inavewo.L, Col.

To draw a crowd he commenced singing songs and telling funny stories to amuse his audi- ence. After a while, however, he com- menced giving away what he olaimed to bo gold watches to every purchaser of 51 bottle of medicine. Nearly every man on the square invested, imagining that he was going to get a handsome gold watch for a dollar. Reamer, the ale• gent gold watches turned out to be of the purest brass, with no works. If any of the purchasers aro asked anything about it they will claim they bought it for the mediein5 and not the watch. Ijitievaale.

Gospel Temperance meeting was held in Blusvale Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. The following speakers addressed the meeting :. Rev. Mr. Cook, Bluevale ; Dr. Snyder, Michi- gan, and Rev. Mr. Tbynne, Port Dover. The speeobec were not too short nor yet too long, but wore full of earnestlexhor- tation and backed by good solid facts. It was learned that intemperance demor- alizes a person, let, mentally, 2nd, mor- ally, 3rd, physically, 4th, socially, and 5th, domestically. Also that there is eight times as much spent for liquor in the United States as for all religious purposes together. That there is a re. duction of one-third in liquor drinking since the Scott Act came in force. That man is responsible for man. Rev. A. Y. Hartley occupied the chair and Chas. Herbert officiated as leader of singing. Tho church was crowded and the senti- ment of temperance seems rising. Not a sound was heard to disturb the meeting so we may judge there wore few oppon. ants. This is but the start, the flag is unfurled, the trumpet has sounded, rally ye temperr1coe men and women and march to victory. 5Vi hors, Bonen Posx.—There is a specimen of humanity in thie place, a kind of a cross between a dude and a tramp who bears the euphonious appellation of "Timothy Blunderboad. Mr. Blunderhead is not unknown to journalistic feme. He is a valued contributor to the Expositor. His contributions are "rare," "rich," and "racy" when compared with the usu- al literary productions which abound in that enterprising journal, and like all newspaper correspondents he sets himself up for a target et whioh the general public may shoot promiscuously to their heart's content. Some three weeks ago Bltndorhead made a desperate and heroic effort to be funny at the expense of Wal- ton and many of her best citizens. It was an abortive attempt, and, instead of gaining for him, as, its egotistical author had fondly hoped the titre of "The funny man of Huron County" it brought down on what little head he had the virtuous indignation of many good citizens of this staid little village. Tim. Blunder - head thinks he is quits a masher among the fair aux. He has mads several con- quests of feminine hearts in Walton and for several weeks was the "Lion of the day," but now, alas I a change has conte over the spirits of his dreams. He is no longer considered dashing nor gallant by the dear girls, but is looked upon as a youth of Very verdant mold and only the other day Its best girl gave him the "shake" and now he is almost uuoonsola. blo. For my part I have no desire to enter the ring end stir 119 the monkeys with a pointed stick ; neither do I desire to excoriate the luckless Timothy for his puerile and uncoiled for article; neither do I claim to bo a perfect paragon of virtue myself but I have undertaken to ohastise the silly Tim. for his sudden ex- hibitioe of unadulterated gall, If the young man desires this story to be conti- nued signify the name byone need he a y g Y word of reference to it in next week's paper. In that event I will wear the youthful scalp in my belt the week follow- ing. HAM: BURTON. • 13.1Co se vie - It is expected that Rev. Mr, Tonga will be in his pulpit. next Sabbath as he has returned from his trip to the 010 Coun• try. Report says that Sunshine will shortly lose ono of its most enterprising citizens, in the person of I. Rogerson. 110 talks of going either to Blyth, Brussole or Wingham. This locality was stirred to its vary centre last Friday over the report that an old man named Jas, Watson, of Stn. shine, had attempted an outrnge on Sar - all, a little daughter of Jno, Currie, of the Solna piacb. Tho child ie abort 12 or 18 yeare of age and had been sent on n message to Me, Watson's while Mrs, and GALE & Miss Watson were away at Brussels. On going into the house the girl was taken advantage of by the person stated above. A warrant wasiesued far his arrest and on Wednesday he was taken before the magistrates at Brussels when, after hear- ing the evidence, he was committed to stand his trial at the Fall Assizes, at Goderich. The father of the child is bound by a bond, it is said, to prosecute when the time comes. Bail was accepted for Watson's appearance at the Assizes. It is an unfortunate affair as the Watson family is highly respected and respectable and the public sympathise with them. Some of the neighbors and friends were very much incensed when they learned the particulars of the outrage and vowed vengeance on the perpetrator even if its numbered his years by three score and ten. Cnlr-onsr.—Some attic boys laughed at my saying "oome on" and then asking you to keep them still last week. Now, that was too bad, what I meant to say was that you would oblige them by tell- ing them to keep quiet, but they would oblige me by "coming on."—This last week has been very nice round Morris. Nice warm'days, beautiful cool nights. We cu sleep so peacefully and dream of apple pie and Christmas pudding. .The farmers say it is hard to get up and go to work, but they forget that they go to the stabs, feed and rub down their hors- es, while us poor women are allowed ta sit out on the cold wet grass and milk our cows or turn a pail up -side -down to sit on. When we some in the men, sitt- ing by the fire are, warming themselves, but if there is no wood they wait patient- ly till we come to get it for them. What patient creatures men are! Then they growl about breakfast rind talk about plowing end threshing and everything but splitting wood, but thus the world goes and truly the poet has said : "It takes much to make a lady, but far more to make a woman." I often wonder that our sox do not get mad and kink the stove down, or the house, or do some- thing desperate, but we don't. No we go plodding along quietly and never mar - mer. We are well content to do our duty if man does not. "Man's work is from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done."—I must tell you about the oirous, and also say that the girls round here do not believe in going to the cir- one,.
