PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last a little son of Mr. Robert Govenlock, of McKillop, aged about five years, met with a very painful accident. A horse was feeding in the orchard near the house and it is supposed the little fellow heel been playing arouud, the animal when it kicked him in the face, break- ing the jaw bone on the left side in two places, and inflicting a wound on the cheek. Medical aid was speedily secur- ed, the fractured bones were adjusted, and the little fellow is now getting along splendidly, and it is hoped that no per- manent injury or disfigurement will re- sult. Had the blow been two inches higher up the boy would certainly have been killed. fessor Mor - d his little rtainment is 8. ny of our to learn of Phail, which ce in Ackra, on the 9th interred in e. Mr. Mc - of age and States, but ed with his psrents in the townsh p of Dumfries, in the County of Wat rlcfo, near Galt. He spent his earlier years in that vicinity, and about t i ty-five years ago he removed to the township of Fullerton and settled on a farm about three miles south of 1\ itchell. He resided there for over fteen years, when he retired from far , mg, and re- moving to Mitchell he !engaged in the conveyancing, commissibn and auction- eering business. He continued to re- side in Mitchell until ri!bout five years ago, when he removed to Dakota and again engaged in farming. For several years he had not enjoyed obust health, but for some time af r settling in 'n his strength than he had t a year ago ction of the nd after long length gave e was a man nary ability; A GOOD RECORD.—Mr. George Trott of this town has been very successful as a breeder of thoroughbred pigs, and earried everything beforehim at the shows this season. His aged Berkshire pig was awarded second prize at the geaforth show, lst and diploma at Goderich and lst at Bayfield. His young Berkshire pig was awarded ist at Seaforth; 1st and diploma at Gode- rich ; lst at Brussels and 2nd at Bay- field. Mr. Trott's young Suffolk pig received lst prize at Seaforth; lst and diploma at Cl-oderich and let at Brussels and Bayfield. This pig has never been beaten although he has been exhibited several times in competition with import- ed animals. For the number of pigs ex- hibited, Mr. Trott has made the best show record of the season. Dakota he seemed to rege and enjoyed better health done for years, but abo his old trouble, an nsff kidneys, again returned, and severe suffering he a way before the disease. i of much more than ord was well versed in public affairs, was a fluent speaker and a ready and able writer. He was warm hearted and generous to a fault, Ond his genial, kindly, hospitable disposition won him a wide circle of sincere fri nds who will deeply regret toi learn of his death. Notwithstanding the ac that he had had many ups and dowrs in life, few ordinary men were mor idely known or more universally este ed. He was a Liberal in politics, and although lat- terly living under al fo eian flag, his love for his coentren and his loy- alty to British linstitu ions were as strong as ever, and until the very last he took a lively intereSt in the public affairs of this countrY. He leaves a widow, (who is the eldst sister of the editor of this journal) t neourn the loss of one who has for so many years been a kind and loving guid, end protector, and to her, also, we are sure the sincerest sympathy of tnainy old friends will be extended in this, the' darkest and saddest hour of heri life, although she enjoys the blessed consolation of those who "mourn not 4iithout hope."

A GOOD REWARD. —At a meeting -of the Directors of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company, held here on Saturday last, it was decided to offer a reward of $500 for such draforination as will lead to the detection and conviction of the party or parties who set fire to the barn of Mr. D. D. Wilson, of which mention was made last week, and which causes a loss co the company of $2,600. We understand that Mr. Wilson intends to supplement this amount by $100, making the total reward to be offered $600. This is a very liberal reward and it the fire was an act of incendiarism it ohould produce some results. The of- fering of the reward, also, is a very pro- per and judicious proceeding on the part of the company, as if the guilty parties are convicted they may be saved many more heavy losses, whereas if no convic- --then results they will not have anything to pay. • TEMPERANCE WORKERS. — Cardno's hall was well filled on Sunday aPernoon last to hear the address of Dr. Fairfield, of Battle Creek, Michigan, who came here under the auspices of the Royal Templars of Temperance. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. H. Piper, who fittingly introduced the speaker. The Doctor deals with the question in a logi- cs.' and argumentative manner, but he is not an attractive or popular speaker. He sketched the evil which the use of alco- holic stimulants inflicts upon the human system and the dangerous results which ensue to those who come after us. On the following. Monday evening he de- livered another address, taking as his subject "The Man That Rum Makes." This lecture, in connection with the crayon sketches which illustrated it,was very interesting. The Doctor is an adept with the chalk, and the ready naanner in which he makes his sketches, as well as their aptitude to illustrate the subject in hand, is a great aid in fixing ee- the subject upon the minds of listeners. 4 The audience on this occasion was not very large.—Rev. B. B. Keefer, of To- ronto, delivered his address entitled "The Failure of the Scott Act" in the Vresbyterian church on Thursday night. offenses • charged.—Mrs. George Sills returned home from Chicago on Friday evening last, at which place she had been enjoying herself for trie last three weeks among her many. friends in that city.—Mr. T.

There were also some very good cattle, but some very moderate ones. There was a small show of sheep and swine, but the ani- mals in both classes were generally good. The show of poultry was small. The gate receipts amounted to about $160, being considerably less than last year, showing that the attendance was also snialler. As the success of a show very largely depends upon favorable weather, the Bayfieldi people, while vastly more fortunate inhis respect than some, did not have the r usual good luck, and as a natural resultr the show was not as suc- cessful as iii former years under more favorable cireumstances. The prize list will be found on the 6th page of this issue. Hibbert. BEAR HUNT.—On Wednesday after- noon of last week a large black bear was seen in the woods of Mr. John Smale, on the 8th concession. One of our young Muskoka hunters who, by the. way, has a 16 shooter breach -loading rifle, was sent for and arrived on the the scene in time to se ing an open field withi hills. Our brave hun close by, rested his ri or three shots, but hp was so excited that .he either shut the wrong eye,: or both eyes, it's not lsnoWn which, for :in- stead of laying the wild animal low the shots only helped to increase his speed. • Shortly after this a large number, of men and as man Y dogs were in hot pur- suit, but night coming pn, the chase Was given up, and old Bruin has not since been heard of. It is o'er 25 years since a hear was last seen in Ithis locality, and the unusual visitor created quite an ,ex- citement. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday evening of last Week - as Mr: James Ballantyne, of lisborne, near Farquhar, was return- ing honie from St'aiTa, he met with a Thursday and Friday last. The weather very serious accident The night was was not favorable, as Thursday was wet I•uite dark. and as he was descending the steep hill between iStaffa. and Crom- arty, his horse got frightened at another buggy coining up behind and made a sudden bound. .

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.—A number of good bank barns have been erected this summer in the township, showing the farmers are determined to have better accommodation for their cattle than they have had. A GOOD CROP.—Mr. Wm. Spurgeon, of the Bayfield concession, this fall sold 700 bushels of wheat as the product of twenty acres, besides keeping his bread and sowing twenty acres more. He had the best crop we have heard of, being an average of about 38 bushels to the acre. Mr. Spurgeon believes in good summer fallowing and plenty of manure. • Grey. LOCALITIES. —Altho ugh the recent rains will help the root crop the yield will be small. Some fields are not worth pulling.—The trustees of School Section No. 2 have engaged Mr. F. D.

A needless irritation has been caused over this matter. The lady's friends say that the best portion of the church is none too good to save souls, that the angels would give the best rooms in paradise if they could bring but one erring sinner into the fold of Christ. Those who sup- port the action of the trustees do not deny all that, but say on the other hand that an earnest striver after the waters of life could find it as pure and sweet in the plainest as well as in the "best" room, and that while undoubted damage would be done to the new furnishings of the church in their present inchoate state, the cause of Christ could be no better served there than in the base- ment. Chiselhurst. JOINED THE ARMY.—One of those pleasant events which causes a quiver of excitement in any locality, occurred on Thursday evening. The occasion was the marriage of Mr. S. J. Latta, teacher, to a young lady who was recently a cap- tain in the Salvation Army. The cere- mony was performed at the residence of Mr. John Latta in the presence of a few intimate.friends. May peace and hap- piness be theirs in their journey down life's turbid stream; may storms or hur- ricanes never dawn on the threshold of their domestic happiness, and may Sam never rue the day he joined the glorious army of benedicts. ANOTHER FIRE.—On Saturday even- ing the blacksmith shop, house and stable of Mr. Joseph Mitchell were burned to the ground. According to Mr.- Mitchell's statement he was aWa- kened about 12 o'clock on that evening by some person kicking his door and shouting fire. The person then got into a buggy and drove rapidly away. Mr. Mitchell feels certain that it was the work of an incendiary. Bayfield. NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon last,as the saddle horses were being ;rapidly ridden around the show ring, a horse Owned by Dr. Whiteley, of Goderich, bolted over the rope and in amongst the crowd of spectators. The rider was thrown off and the horse knocked over a couple of ladies and two small children, but fortunately no per- son was much injured, although it is almost miraculous that the children were not dangerously hurt. Just as the people were going' from the show an- other horseman, who had evidently im- bibed more "barley brae" than was good for him, was showing off a bit by riding around among the crowd at a rapid rate of speed, when by some means he lost his equilibrium and horse and rider went heels over head in a promis- cuous heap on the road. With the as- sistance of the bystanders both horse aud rider got on their feet again, and as it fortunately turned out neither was injured, but the man seemed to be con- siderably sobered. TIIE Sli017.—The annual show of the Stanley Agricultural Society was held in the society's grounds in this village on and Friday intensely cold. As a result, the show was not so successful as in for- mer years. In the hall there was a splendid display of ladies' work; a good show of fruit, a fair show of grain and roots, and a very good show; of dairy prodncts, but none of the departments, except the ladies, was as good as last Brussels.

TEACHERS' PARLIAMENT.—The North Huron Teachers' Association met in the school here on Thursday and Friday of last week. About 90 teachers were in attendance and took part in the discus- sions. Dr. McLellan was also present and addressed the teachers on different topics and on Thursday evening he de- livered a lecture on "Critics Critisized," being a sliscussion of the different methods of education; a criticism of the faultfinders against the Ontario system and a defence of the same. The doctor' does not see any harm in the so-called " cramming " said to be ineeparable from our system—in fact he does not consider such a thing in existence, Ile believes in children having home work and that parents, trustees and teachers should all work in harmony if the schools are to succeed. He is not a believer in aristocracy unless of an intellectual order, and the intellectual aristocrats, he asserts, must always rule as a natural result and must show their power in every walk of life. He gave an account of his own early school clays and. con- trasted these with the privileges and advantages enjoyed by the youth of the present day. DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT.— Many readers of THE EXPOSITOR will learn with siecere regret of the sudden and unexpected death on Monday morn- ing, October 10th, of Mr. John William- son, formerly of Brussels, but now of Kingscote, County of Grey, after an ill- ness of only six days. On Tuesday morning, October 4th, he drove several miles through a heavy rain in order to secure medical attendance for his little daughter who was, as he thought, seri- ously ill. The same evening he was con- fined to bed with what ultimately proved to be inflammation of the lunge, On Sunday at noon there was a sudden change for the worse, and hp sank rapid- ly until the next morning at six o'clock when death relieved him `of his suffer- ing. On Tuesday at 4 o'clock Rev. Mr. Morrison, of Cedarville, conducted the funeral services; and a very large number of sympathizing friends and acquaint- ances followed the remains to their last resting place. Deceased was born at his father's residence, Carse Mains, in Dum- fries, Scotland, in 1851. Having beeu given the advantage of a good education he came to Canada in 1870 and remained for a few years in the Province of Que- bec. In 1876 he was united in marriage to Miss Christens McNaughton, of Rich- mond, and immediately afterwards re- moved to Ontario to his late home in the township of Proton. He left this home to enter the store business, first in Cedarville, then in Brussels, but return- ed to it about a year previous to his death.
