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.

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

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.

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

left, and found his wife, whom he had

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.
