Green, formerly of the Howiok Enterprise, now of Parkhill, was married to Mise Oroll, of Clinton, on Tuesday of this week. Mr. Green is doing well in his new location and let us hope that af- ter the rough tossing he has experienced in the past on the matrimonial sea he be followed by a pleasant eail down the stream of time.

Skinner, Sesdsman, Mitchell. The Foresters' demonstration at Sun- shine on Tuesday was not very largely attended owing to a combination . of causes. The base ball match between Brussels and Belgrave, and the presence of the Brussels Band were very interest- ing features. Short addresses were given by J. Rogerson, Rev. Mr. Tonga, J. Nee- 1 lands and others. Vocal selections were rendered by Miss Rogerson. HARVEST Hoon.—On Thursday of last week the Harvest Home announced was held at Johnstone church. The forenoon did not promise very well as regards the weather, but the afternoon was fine and a large company assembled. After a splen- did dinner of almost everything that was desirable, cricket, croquet and a base ball match between a local nine and the Blue - vale club and other sports were indulged in. At b p. m. supper was announced, and on that important matter being over an adjournment was made to the church, where the musiosl and literary part of the program was to be given, Rev. J. S. Cook, the energetic pastor, made a oapit. al chairman, and added much to the en- joyable charaoter of the entertainment. Musical selections were given by Mise Robb ; Rev. A. Il. Smith, of Wroxeter, and the church choir. Short addresses were given by W, H, Herr, of Brussels ; Rev. A. Y. Hartley, of Bluevale, and Rev. A. E. Smith. A vote of thanks was ten- dered to till concerned in the gathering. Something over $80.00 was realized by the entertainment and a very pleasant time put in by all. It is needless to re- mark that the friends living adjacent to the church, W. J. Johnston partioulbrly, were most hospitable in providing for visitors and their horses. It's a good place to go. ]3lnevil le. Jno. Robertson has been away this week at Sarnia attending the funeral of his °oueitr. • Wm. Agar, of west end, is felting his house and double boarding it.

The Scott AM can count on the support of all right thinking man in this locality. ty. Mrs.Ba [rl ley, of Brussels, gave us a friendly call this week. Bluevale is al- ways glad to see old friends. Hoping Mrs. Barkley will pardon the use of the word "old," but all married people are olaeeed under that head. A very painful accident occurred at Leech's mill on Thursday last. Johnnie Messer was engaged in taking away lath from the mill. In the absence of the sawyer he tried to cut a lath but slipped and the saw caught his thumb, which was out completely off, and also made a deep cutin his hand. Mr. Leech had him at once taken to the doctor and he is now on the fair way to recovery. It will be some time before he can use his hand, however. Not 1,000 iniles from Bluevale there is a postoflice and behind the pigeon hole stands "sweet sixteen" gracing the place with her sunny smile. It would illbefit THE POST to criticise a being so divinely fair were her faults over so many. In that same place there are busvbodys al- ways ready to feed the fires of discontent. Perhaps this will account for many hard feelings there. Of course letters are adored, and people are far more touchy on that subject than any other. An ex- planation often sets things right. Let tale bearers and others keep quiet, the P. 0. will take care of itself. FonnsTnr.—On Sunday morning the Foresters assembled at their Hall and marched in a body to the Presbyterian church, the oeutre of the church being reserved for them. The pastor, Rev. A. Y. Hartley, took his text from the 1S8rd Psalm, 4th verse, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." After describing the unity of the Jews at this time, as the Psalm is supposed to have been written by David, at the death of Ish-Bosheth when Abner persuaded all the tribes to unite under David, the reverend gentle- man pointed out the fins poetic images used in the Psalm. 1st, The anointing of the high priest and 2nd, The dew un Mt. Hermon. He then proceeded : Unity is what is being aimed at but ever since the fall in Eden disunion had been upper- most. This introduced the first heading loyalty. If you are to be loyal you must first be true to yourself. If you are true to the dictates of conscience yon are true to God. If you are true to yourself, therefore, you then can bo true or loyal to church, state, party or nation. This does not mean following• one party or faction or seat, through right wrong, but must be in subjection to the first rule "Turn to God and yourself." This brings us to the second point that man does not treat man as he would treat himself. "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." To prove this instances were cited from the history of to -day. The reverend gentle- man referred to societies that were form- ed to assist humanity, to make the mourners glad, to oomfort the widow and protect the children. The Foresters were a society founded on these princip- les, a union bonded together for the pur- pose of assisting each other. They, of course, did not aseiet any outside them - seine but all were welcome. Any who joined would of course curtail their lib- erty. Could a man live secluded from all others ho would be the first man on earth but be cannot exist without eaoh other and the more we enter society so much more do we bind ourselves and give opportunitee of assisting others, Christianity is trying to do this and yet England spends more on ono ironclad war ship to destroy unity, to bring about war and anguish than all the British nation dogs in a year to sent] religion to a heathen world. In conclusion Mr. Hartley said that union was advancing, societies were being orgrnized with this grand object "assisting" in view and some day they would all be nutted. The day will likely never dawn on earth but in heaven, then will be our grand union The black bass seems to have deserted of all societies, all belonging to Ohrist that portion of the Maitland that joins and Christ to God. the circular town. Thos. Farquhar, of Mullett, delivered a fine team of horses to a buyer in Clin. ton, the other day, for which he received 11400. H, S. Holmes, elation agent at Acton, has been appointed to the charge of Gods - rich station during the illness of A. Straiten. Prof. Anderson, er on, formerly of London, was in Clinton on Tuesday for the pur- pose of forming dancing classes for ladies, gentlemen and children. His Houck Judge Doyle returned on Thursday,from his visit to the Green Isle. The return trip was not an over pleasant one, a very heavy gale keeping the vessel rocking about nearly the whole journey.

Hans PEEanYTnM—A meeting of tine Presbytery was held in the Presbyterian church, Exeter, on Tuesday of last week. A call from the congregations of Man- chester anl Smith's Hill, to the Rev, ,1Ir. McMillan, was presented, and :Monday, the28th inst., fixed for the iuduotion cer- vices, provided the pall is accepted by 3fr. McMillan, Bev. R. Y. Thomson handed in his resignation of the charges of Hensel' and Chiselhuret, and all parties immediately interested are to be cited to appear at the next meeting of Presby- tery. Rev.

Mr. McCoy was granted permission to moder- ate in a call to, a minister on behalf of the congregations of Bayfield Road and Blake so soon as these congregations are prepared to take this step. The next meeting of Presbytery will be held in Seaforth on the second Tuesday in November. Instead of billeting the members of Presbytery at the houses of friends, the ladies of the Exeter con. drogationhad dinner prepared for them in the basement of the ohuroh, The particnlare given below are abso- lutely oerreotin every particular, save that a fictitious name is used. They came to the Clinton New Era's notice in the ordinary way, and were verified by per. sonal investigation :—Some twenty-six years ago a man, whom we will oall Smith, lived in a growing town in enater•n Ontario, He had a wife and family, ap. parently was doing well, and, so far as known, there was not the slightest jar in his domestic relations. Without letting his intentions be known to his family, he suddenly disappeared, and for the twenty- six years that intervened between that time and the present, the family mourned for him as dead, they hearing from him in no shape or form. After deserting his family 180 Dine Weet, and dropped into Clinton. In this neighborhood he formed the aequaiutanoe of an estimable young women, who, knowing nothing of his bast, and believing him to bo a single man, mined her fate with his, and together they moved to Michigan, where Smith took up land. They lived there for twen- ty years, throe boys being born to them. In the fall of 1880 Mrs. Smith died, and Smith began to pine for the as0ociatiou of his old family. He was now an old man, over 70 years of age, with very little 100005 of support, and, coming to d1fn. ton, lie took up his residence at one of our hotels. Throe months ago he went east to the place he had so mysteriously left, and found his wife, whom he had Grey, Mrs. Hugh Porter is away at London this week visiting friends. Miss Libbie Ball ie away at St. Thomas visiting for a few weeks with acquaint- ances. Thewas a o 1i T p Council will meet at Robertson's hotel Ethel, on Friday of next week. Chas.

It is reported that Thos. McLauehlin will exhibit one or more of his imported entire horses at the Walkerton Fair. A number of excellent farms m this township are offered for sale. Intending purchasers should read the advertise- ments in TICE PosT and then go and see the farms.. Last Wednesday afternoon Rev. R. Paul, of Brussels, performed the mar- riage ceremony between William J. Be- harriel and Miss Rebeooa Bell at the re- sidence of the bride's parents. J. B. Bell and Miss Mary Oliver supported the interested parties. Donald MoLauohliu, President of the East Huron Agricultural Society, is away at Ottawa this week acting as judge on horses at the Provincial Exhibition. He will visit among his friends of long ago before he returns. Mise MoLauehiin ac- companied frim and they took tickets from Thos. Fletcher, over the 0. P. R. Last week P. Robertson, 0th con. met with a severe loss in the death of a val- uable heavy draught horse, valued at 8200. This animal along with another was attached to a set of harrows and get- ting frightened at something they ran away, coming in contest with a rail fence in their course. The result was that one beast fell dead in its tracks. S31Fth. A spatial meeting of our Town Fathers was held in the Orange Hall on Friday evening when a bonus of $400 was grant- ed to Isaac Rogerson to remove his ohair factory from Sunshine to this place, with the understanding that be is to keep ten hands employed regularly for five years. On the last train up on Saturday night a stranger dropped off here for the pnr- poso of hiring a rig to go to the base line on some important business. Our livery proprietor being at the station at the time he applied to him for a rig, but was refused, the proprietor claiming they were all out. Having found out that ono or two parties had rigs at the station the stranger offered to pay them handsomely and take good Dare of the rig if they would oblige him, but they respectfully declined. Not getting what he desired he wandered up town, where he tried other parties, without emcees. In the meantime he had got in company with one of our citizens, and they proceeded to John Morgan's, merchant. After having told him his troubles and having under- stood from the citizen that a000mpanfed him that the stranger was all right and that it was impossible for him to get a rig from the livery as they were all out, Mr. Morgan decided to lot him have his rig, and at once looked the store and went to the stable and bitched the animal up and gave him his buffalo robe and over- coat to keep him warm. On Sabbath morning, close on church time, Mr, Waite, of the 10th con., Mullett, drove over to tell Mr. Morgan that his horse was in his field and that a colt had been taken in exchange for it, although it was not the one the scoundrel meant to take. Mr. Morgan at once got a rig and, with constable Davis, went to the field, and there found his horse and returned home with it in the afternoon. It is hardly likely he will hear of his buggy, harness and robe again. Huron County Notes. The oatmeal mill at Seaforth has im- ported 80,000 bushels of oats from OM. cage. • left to battle alone with the world, still living, his family all grown to man and woman's estate. They looked upon him as one returning from the grave, but treated him with every cordiality and love; in foot, much better than he de- served. He only remained there a short time, when he again returned to Clinton, giving as an excuse that he wanted to go to Michigan and settle uphis s affairs, when he would return and lice with them during the rest of his days. A few weeks ago his first wife died suddenly, and when visited by our representative here Smith was so weak that he could hardly help himself. Being penniless, a few friends took up a aubsoription in his be- half, purohaeed a railway ticket for him, and a week ago he went east to spend his few remaining days with the children he had so heartlessly deserted many years ago, and on whose good -will and charity he had not the elightest claim, other than being their father.
