GARDEN PARTY. -The garden party
held here under the auspices of the For-
esters of this place on Tuesday of last
week was a grand success. A large
crowd gathered in the afternoon to see
the base ball match between the Bel -
grave and Brussels clubs. The Match,
however, was too muchtone-sided to be
very exciting, Brussels winning by a
score of 22 to 4 runs. The Brussels
brass band was in attendance in the
evening, which greatly enlivened the
proceedings.
BRIEFS. -Mr. T. Nugent, blacksmith,
of this place, is giving up business as his
health is not very good. This i a good
stand for a blacksmith, and as Mr.
Nugent wants to sell or rent we hope to
see an enterprising man here !before
long. -A number of young men from
Morris left for the lumber woods in
Michigan this week. -Several of the
leading farmers of Morris attended the
Commercial Union meeting at Clinton
on Tstesday.-This week will clean out
the logs in the mill yard, and if all be
true will be the last of the mill here.

OBITUARY. -The shadOw of death
passed over this village and removed
one of our early settlers.. Mr James
Ni
Stewart passed peacefully a ay on
Thursday morning, the 22nd ' st., at
the advanced aged of 85 years. Ile was
a native of Argyleshirh, Scotland, and
emigrated to this counhy about 30 years
ago, and settled on lot 25, north-east
boundary of Usborne, Huron 'county.
Here, like many other pioneers, by his
industry and prudence he was snceessful
in clearing a good farm and seeuring a
comfortable 'home. He was ia very
healthy. person and had not been Blois
since he came to Canada until about
three or four months ago, -when he had
taken a paralytic stroke, and f oua the
effects of which he expired. Ele, how-
ever, remained conscious up to he time
of his death. He was a very q iet and
unobtrusive man. His remain, which
were followed by a large conc urse of
relatives and friends were interred, in
Martin MeTaggart's cemetery. 1
fdrtune to run a needle into her right
hand. She suffered intense pain from
the effects until Dr. Smith succeeded in
removing the cause of the trouble. Ile
had to cut the needle out, as it was
biuiied over an inch in the fleshy part of
the hand.
A Home for the Poor.,
EAR EXPOSITOR. -An old blind nian
losthis way a few days ago,and wan er-
ed into the river a few miles below
burn. Fortunately Fortunately the water was not very
deep, and he waded across and was seen
by some boys who directed hini to the
base line. It is possible that he might
have lost his way, or got into a hole in
the river and been drowned. Another
instance of the necessity for a home for
the aged and infirm. The county of
Elgin has a 200 acre farm, with a man
and his wife in charge of it. There are
from fifty to sixty who have a home
h'ere, and all who can work are required
to do what they are able to do to assist
in the taking care of the helpless and
infirm. The old men do the hoeing,
miffing wood, and 'choring, and the old
Women wait on the sick and do such
household duties as they can perform.
Thus by the able rnanagement of Mr.
ffunsbergenthe farm is made to produce
nearly enough to abay the running ex
penses of the hone. Mr. Hunsberger
has one hired man and a hired girl, the
rest is performed by the inmates. This
'alight be considered mach a good thieg
that the home would be crowded to over -
owing. Not so, however, for every
Pne has to pass an examination and get
a. letter from the county judge before
they are admitted.
Now, Mr. Editor, why cannot a home
Of this description be run in the county
pf Hurn and not allow such poor unfor-
tunates as I have referred to above to
roam at will and be at the mercy of the
ublic. Few would care to take such a
an into their homes, but would wil-
lingly pay their portion -for a home for
the poor. Full information could be
obtained from Mr. Hunsberger, Fingal
postoffice, or St. Thomas. -HUMANITY.
[We may recall to -the mind of our
correspondent the fact that it is not the
want of information but the lack of will
that prevents such a place as he recom-
mends being provided. The subject has
been before tbe County Council nearly
every year for the past fifteen years, and
deputations have visited nearly every
poor house in the country and have re-
ported favorably; but when the matter
assumed shape and came before the as-
sembled wisdom it was invariably voted
down. It is indeed a reproach to the
large, wealthy and prosperous coun-
ty of Huron that there is no place but
the county jail, where poor, unfortunate
and penniless people can be kept.--L-En.

ACCIDENT. -While Mr. and Mrs. Fitz-
gerald were driving home one evening
last week a part of the harness broke,
frightening the horse so that it ran away
precipitating the occupants into the
ditch. Mrs. Fitzgerald sustained some
slight injuries, from which we are glad
to say she is entirely recovered.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. -Mr. Alex.
McDonald, having rented his fartn, dis-
posed of his stock and implements by
public auction onSaturclay last. As the
day was fair and bidding free everything
was sold at a good figure. -Mn Peter
Morrison has returned from his trip to
Washington Territory .and purposes
going back shortly with a car Of well-
bred horses. -Messrs. Cantelon & Mc-
Taggart are making apples scarce in this
vicinity. -Mr. Wm. Davey is erecting a
very handsome residence, and it is whis-
pered around that he willaecure the bird
as soon as the cage is built.
A GOOD MOB.AL.-Quite a number
from here attended the Fair at London
last week. Amongst the number was
one of our usually level-headed citizens
who, thinking he could bettJr himself in
the shoe line in the Forest Cityl pur-
chased a pair. Imagine his Surprise,
after returning home, when he was about
to put them on to find that they were
both for the same foot and numbers
seven and eight instead !of number teris
as he bargained for. Mbral :-Patronize
home industries.
PUGILISTIC. -Jack " Dempsey " and
" Ryan " engaged in a hard glove eon -
test last Saturday evening before a
crowd of spectators. They both defend-
ed themselves so ably that not a blow
was struck until the third round,, when
Dempsey got in one with his " right"
in good style. At this juncture Ryan
clinched his opponent and threw him to
the ground. The contest was decided a
draw as " Dempsey " was laid up by
means of a foul.
Wroxeter.
RUNAWAYS -We had a very disastrous
runaway on Saturday _evening last. A
team belonging to Robert Hamilton
started from in front of J. Sanderson's
store, /Tuning into Mrs. Walker's fence
and destroying it for twelve feet or
more and. making a total wreck of the
wagon. The horses were caught, hitch-
ed up again to a borrowed rig, when
they started off the second time, break-
ing this rig also and destroying two sets
- of harness. Mr. Hamilton barely es-
caped being badly hurt himself.
NEW8.-The moving of the Methodist
church is proceeding !slowly; the rope
has not beeu strong enough but there is
anew one expected which will, do the
work better. -Mr. Steve Playford, son
of Mr. Samuel Playford, has been visit-
ing in town. He is from Colorado, to
which place he has returned making
only a short stay. After corrAng such
a distance his friends were sorry to see
him return. -Mr. R. Paulin, of Wing -
ham, is visiting friends in ton. -Mr.
James Fox returned. to St. Thomas on
Monday last. -Everybody is making
preparations for the show neXt week;
it is expected to down anythin in this
part of the country. It is open to
everybody, so bring along your big
turnips and everything else( that is
better than your neighbor's, which is
the way to make our local shoav a suc-
cess. -Mr. George Cushma.n, of the
Grand Central hotel, has removed to
.Gorrie. There are quite a- fewt applica-
tions for the Grand, so it will not be
vacant long.
Grey.
SACRA:WEN-T.-The sacrament of the
Lord's Supper will be dispensed in Knox
church, Cranbrook,next Sabbath. Rev.
Mr. Straith, of Holstein, wilreassist the
pastor on Friday and Saturday.
WRITING SCHOOL. -Prof. C. W. Bell
is conducting a writing school for a term
in School Section No. 2. A large num-
ber are availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity to become proficient with the pen,
which is a mightier agent for good than
the sword.
WonTun COUNML.-The Grey coun-
cil are making things boom this year.
They have wisely expended on roads
which were almost impassable a year
ago. This is a step in the right direc-
tion. We would like to see the council
elected by acclamation for another year.
Wiarrrro Cnass.-Mr. C. W. Bell,
who has been conducting writing classes
at Walton and Leadbury during the
past summer, is at present conducting a
class in the school house in School
Section No. 2, Grey. The term usually
consists of eight lessons in succession,
each lasting one hour ancl a half begin-
ning at half past seven each evening.
Th.e class here consisted at first of 20
scholars, but when the term was finish-
ed all were so well pleased that they
unanirnously asked Mr. Bell to remain
another term, and in organizing another
class nearly all the young people in the
section turned out and joined, so that
the present class numbers about 50
acholars. Mr. Bell is undoubtedly one
of the best penmen in America to -day
and his specimens of drawing and. pen-
manship can scarcely be equalled. He
is a splendid teacher so that all, even
the pooest writer, can, under his in-
struction, soon become a good penman.
Mr. Bell is a native of Pennsylvania and
has traveled. extensively in the States
,and Canada, and his teachiog is inter-
