At doylight Becker went to search for his lost cash, but was only rewarded with the discovery of his empty -pocket book. --On aecount of poor health, Mr. Jas. Bartlett, of Mitchell, is about -to- retire tem business, and is disposing of his boot and shoe stock to Messrs. Cole & Thorne. Mr. Bartlett has been doing business in that town for many years, end had established himself firmly in the confidence of the public, but 111 health will not permit him to continue longer. —About a mile and a half from Strat- ford. there is a spring -fed pond of consid- erable depth known as the Little Lake. While gathering pond -lilies there Tuesday`, Miss Jessie Gibson fell out of &boat. The isolation of the place de - /eyed the coming of assistance, which arrived in the nick of Itime. Jas. McD. cams, of the Inland Revenue Depart- ment, narrowly escaped drowning in the same place shortly befhre. —The inspector of the new Grand Trunk work shops soon to be erected in Stratford examined the St. Marys quarries a felt- days ago, with the view of deciding upon the fitness of the stone required in the buildings. He pronoun- ced the article as much superior to what he expected and sienified his intention of having all the °stone required taken from there. The amount will be in the neighborhood of $5,000. _-A bicyclist and .two gentlemen driving in a buggy met on the Waterloo street bridge in Stratford the other night The bicylist was not afraid of the horse, but the horse was badly scared by the bicycle and backed the buggy against the bridge railing, which swayed in a danger -suggesting way, causing the (m- agenta of the rig to yell so that they could be heard four blocks distant. Seeing the danger the bicyclist dismount- ed and the horse resumed the journey. e 11 • • ; 7 —The Stratford Beacon of July 28th says: The station platform ,this morn- ing .was crowded with excursionists bound for the Falls and Grimsby. The jam was sa great that when the cars were being pulled. up many foolishly tried to climb on before they stopped, and two old ladies had narrow escapes from being run over. It is surprising that people will act so recklessly, after the many warnings they have had of the danger. —On Monday morning last week, about 11:30 o'clock, a chimney 'in Mr. -Wile. Buckingham's residence, corner of Huron and Vincent streets, Stratford, undertook a self-cleaning. Before it was noticed some sparks had escaped. from a stove pipe hole and set fire to the car- pet and linen in a bedroom. The alarm was sounded and the firemen were quick- ly on hand and succeeded in quieting affairs down and putting out the fire. Damage was slight and fully covered. by insurance. —On the way from Detroit to Cleve- land, on the steamer on the Oddfellows'j excursion, Mr. J. E. Stark, of Stratford, finding the heat in the stateroom oppresh sive, went out to take a nap on the deck.] Reposing himself comfortably on some chairs, he fell asleep. As he slept be dreamt, and the dream awoke him toi discover that his gold watch was stolen while he was wrapt ha slumber. An- other Stratford man lost his watch,1 money and. ticket, and others lost valu ables. —On Monday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. Noel Green of Mitchell were driving clown the hill toward Mr1 H. James' planing mill when one of the bolts attaching the °shafts to the ax14 came out. One side of the shafts dropped down on the horse's heels and theemime plunged into the sidewalk, upset the rig and the occupants had a narrow escape Mrs. Green had her face very badly bruised, and has been confined to het bed ever since, Mr. Green was pretty badly hurt, but is able to be about. and returned in a state of intoxication, and later tried to get a neighbor's child to go for more whisky! The case is one of the saddest that We have ever had to record, and shows to what depths of degradation and shame liquor will re- duce a man. —On Thursday of last week H. A. Jatneson, who has been in the grain business -en Stratford for about five years, left the city. The Dank of Montreal held, it is said, about $13,000 worth of warehouse receipts of his. They -deem- ed it advisable to hold an investigation. The key of his warehouse was given to Messrs. Ross and Fortune, who made the startling discovery that beyond about three cam loads of barley, the property of W. R. Marshall & Son,. there was very little in the warehouse.. The mystical 20,000 bushels of grain ,shown in the receipts was insured, and the in- surance company's agent holds Jameson's note for $200 premiwn. How the in- surenee was affected' is a mystery. Several parties outside the bank 'claim to have been victitnLied by ,Jameson, but their statements do rot apelear to be well founded. The issuing of false ware- house receipts being °oily a misdemeanor punishable with two years' imprison- ment, Jameson cannot be extradited, and it is said by those who claim to be in his confidence that he intends treat- ing with the bank for a settlement that will permit of his return to Stratford.' Jameson went to Stratford from St. Marys about five yeers ago and has al- ways taken an active interest in church and municipal matters. He is a member of the Collegiate Institute Board and the Board of Aldermen, in which he is chairman of the Finance Committee. A short time ago he was a partner in the Stratford Herald and had some aspiration to be a foture representative of the Tory party in Parliament. He has been a frequeoter of the bucket shops, but whether he was rained by 'wild cat speculation; or not is conjecture. • ' 1 H THE HURON EXPOSITOR.

We would suggest that electric light be procured,. as it is now very eheap, and is within the reach of every incorporated village, town or city. ROOF FINISHED. --The metalic roof of the Qddfellows Hall of this place has been completed, and is, in- deed, a first-class piece of work: inanship, and is a lasting roof. The job was executed' by the workmen of the tinware department of Mr. James Pickard. 7 SWEET Sernents.--On Saturday even- ing last our brass band favored oer citi- zens with some sweet strains of` music. Our band is improving and is HO W one of thetbest amateur brass bands in West- ern Ontario, and °Or town council should give them a grant to enable them to purchase new suits„ the old ones being unfit for use and a disgrace to the town. —Two Stratford ladies went out into Ellice one day last week on a huckle- berry gathering expedition. The day being warm they unhitched the horse and led it to a small pool to allow it the chance of taking a drink. This the ani- mal proceeded to do, when all at once it sank almost out of sight in the treacher- ous quick -sand bottom. One lady hung on bravely to the bridle, at the same time her feet sinking away ever so far over her ankles into the slough of des- pond, while the ether by using her loco- motive powers and her voice, succeeded in attracting the attention of some men who were at work in an adjoining field, who promptly came to the assistante of the equine and the lady in distress and placed them both on terra firma, wheee they were safe. --A serious charge is pending againet the town constable, of Mitchell. It ap- pears eix young men were out one night „. lately singing through the streets. The constable ordered them home, but in- stead of obeying his orders they moved to the east side of the Presbyterian bury- ing ground, and there struck up another song. The vigilant (?) constable was on the alert, and with one sweep, it is said, he collared one of the party, and, with a frightful oath, threatened to knock out his brains, at the same time striking him a heavy blow over the temple. He then went away and threatened to have them arraigned before the P. M. for 'being drunk and disorderly. lie did so, .and. although they claim to have been per- fectly sober, rather than go into court, they acknowledged the charge and were fined $1,00 each and 60 coats costs. Now, one of the parties who was struck is proceeding against the con- stable for using blasphemous language and assault —On Monday morning of last week , James Howard, Mitchell, woke up and found his wife a corpse by his side. -When she died he had no knowledge, but as the body was black the Mayor sent a doctor to make an examination. Be reported that decomposition had set in, and that life must have been extinct at least twenty-four hours. - Howard is an. unfortunate nian, given to drink, arid. on Sunday hight he returned from the country in at state of intoxication and tumbled into bed alongside of the re- mains of his wife, she having died, no doubt, early that morning. He slept awayin his drunken stupor until next morning, when he discovered for the first time that she was dead. Deceased was a respectable woman, and kept her troubles to herself, not caring to make matters any worse than they really were.

An 4gent of the "Pall Mall Gazette, with a view of testing the true hither ness of prison life, caused himself to b committed to a London prison. He r lates sis follows the beneficent offices the prison chaplain: "I had a visit froi the chaplain after I had been in prison day oil two, and the interesting and ed fying interview consisted of these que tons, 'Wha What and srite?

This report is false, as he did -not hang himself; he only made the attempt. It appears that he had been engaged to the young lady for some time, but never had any inten- tion of !marrying her, and when every - thine was ready thought that the only _ way to sever the engagement was to try and commit the rash act of suicide. We think that the young lady should be glad. that she did' not enter' matrimonial life with such a person. • THE NEW CHUB —The corner -stone of the Trivett Memorial church, Exeter, was laid Monday afternoon by the Lord Bishop of Huron' according ,to the form of the Church of England. A number of clergy were preieut, among whom were noticed Archdeacon Marsh, of Lon- don, Rural Dean Craig, • of Clinton, Revs. R. Ker, of Mitchell, J. Downieeof Lucart, 0. H. Bridgman of Hensel}, T. W. McGaghy, of Seaforth, R. D. Free- man, curate of St. Paul's cathedral, Lon- don, and Samuel F. Robinson, rector of Christ church, Exeter. The Rev. Dr. Pascoe, president of the conference, and the Rev, Mr. Graham, represented the Methodist Chureh. The Rev. Mr. Mar- tin, B. D., represented the Presbyterian Chnreh, and Dr. Rollins, reeve of Exe- ter-', represented the town corporation. Coins and documents in8luding the Lon- don and loronto newspapers, were de- posited in a cope e box under the, stone. A full list of the contents being read on the occasion by A. A. C. Denovan, the people's warden, a choir led -by Exeter band orchestra, under Mr. Samuel Gid - ley, furnished the sacred music. The solid silver trowel with inscription was presented to the Bishop by Mr. Thomas Trivett, donor of the new church, ac- companied by an appropriate address, to which the Bishop replied in an 'eloquent manner. An immense crowd was pres- ent, and all the arrangements were car- ried out in the:most successful manner. PERSONALS. -,--Dr. J. • W.
