PROTECTION AGAINST POTATO BU GS. —
A farmer who has time to try experi-
ments and note the results says that for
the past three years he has planted a
bean or two in each potato hill, and has
never seen a bug onthe potato l tops
where the beans are growing hi the
name hill. If this is a protection against
the bugs the remedy is simple, and will
pay for the trouble in the crops of 1?eans.
DIED IN BAY CITY.—A correspond-
ent in West Bay City, Michigan, Writes

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—We noticed
in a paragraph in our issue of last week
the killing by lightning of a hired man
and pair of horses of Mr. Archibald-
Malccilm, of Oak Lake, Manitoba, and
who was formerly a resident of the
township of Howick, in this! county.
We have since received the following
additional particulars from Mr. 4aIooim
himself, in a letter written on J ly let°
He says :—" During a thunder torm on
June 26th, the lightning et ck the
granary of Archibald Malcolm, ear Oak
Lake, Manitoba, and killed a hired man
named Zebedee Terieo, that w s stand-

and a team that just drove , up to the

THE CROPS. —The recent he vy rains
and cool, gloomy weather ha e had a
beneficial effect on the growl g crops.
Roots, such as turnips and ca rots, are
getting a good start, and angolds,
wherenot plowed up, are doi g splen-
didly. Peas, oats and bar ey have
greatly improved, and being ow head-
ed out, promises a.good yield, lthough
in some places the straw will lpe some-
what short. A few farmers hve coni-
menced cutting their hay. lover is
short and thin on the ground, and will
be a very light yield, but ma y farm-
ers are in hopes of getting a god after -
crop. Timothy is also ready to cut,
but many are leaving it until n xt week,
with the hope that it will t icken up
and improve with the favorable weather.
It will not be heavy, but will e a fair
average crop, and will be mu.h better
than it promised a month a o. The
fall wheat is e good crop. he beads
are well fillede and it stands hick and.
unusually even on the ground. The re-
cent heavy rains and high w nds have
lodged it considerably in eo e places,
but further than making it arder to
harvest and keeping it from ritienieg
as evenly as it would other ise have
done it will not be injured. It is turn-
ing rapidly, and a few days if moder-
ately warm, clear weather, will mature
it nicely. We hope our far era will
bear in mind the timely rem°, strances
of Mr. T. O. Kemp,' publi hed last
week, against green cutting, and act
accordingly, as there is no d ubt but
much grain is depreciated in value in
t his way, There is not muc spring
neheat in this vicinity, but w at there
is looks well. Mr, T. 0 Kem manse
ger of Ogilvie & Co's mills, in th e
town, ;the is ),tiow traveling in the
souther part Of the Province tele-
graphs: Harvest prospects magnifi-
cent in London, St. Thomas, Chatham
and W ndsor districts. Crops mu h
earlier than in Huron, many fiel
stand b autifully golden, but none c
yet."

ANOT ,1ER SUCCESSFUL HURONITE.
During he recent session of the Niaga a
Distric Methodist Conference at Brait-
ford, t e Expositor of that city maIe
the foil wing reference to Rev. J.
H.ezelw od, a former Huron boy andj a
one-tim resident of the township f
Howls:ski His many old friends will be
pleased to learn of his success and use-
fulness n his chosen and sacred calling.
The E positor says: " Among t e
genial, good-natured and promisi s g
young ten of the Niagara Conferen e,
we mus mention Rev. J.H. Hazelwo d.
From t e very beginning of his minis y
in 1E37 he has been popular both
among is brethren and on the char es
where e has labored. His fine pr B-
ence an smiling countenance, toget er
with hi growing ability, secures or
him the ready following and confide • ce
of the p ople wherever he is station d.
He is always a success, and invaria ly
leaves hs Churches better than he fi •de
them. lHe has been sought after • y
several if the important charges of tie
Confere ce, and will yet make is
mark. Nir. Hazelwood has been stati • n -
ed in t e town et Dunnville for the

It wi I be seen from the abov that
there s a majority of 17 again t the

taken a a criterion of the opin one of

of the t wn it is a mistaken d cision,
but the majority must rule.

Pio-Mo.—School Section Na. 9, Hey
and Stanley, held its annual pic-nic On
Tuesday, June 30th, in Mr. Porter's
Grove, on the banks of lake Hurori.
Sections Nos. 4 and 5, Stanley, by inei-
tation, also joined in. The pic-nic wig
a success in every respect. The dale,
was fine, the crowd large, the grove
beautiful, and the ladies of the differeet
sections well maintained their old time
reputation as cooks, both as to qualit
and quantity. As usual, on such o
casions, the lake was the chief attra
tion. There were two large sail-boate
from Bayfield, and a number of row-
boats, so that all so inclined had ample
means of satisfying their desires in than
respect, and judging from appearance
both old and young made good use oe
their opportunities. For those not ab
nautically inclined, swings were erected
in the grove, but,although these did not
appear to have the same amount of at-
traction as the boats, stip it was ver
seldom during the day that they wens
to be seenridle. Altogether a very pleas-
ant sociable day,both for old and young,
was spent on the bank, on the lake an
in the grove. The pleasure of the vial
ors was added to not a little by th
kindness and hospitality of Mr. Porte
who left nothing undone on his par
that might contribute to their cornier
and convenience. Too much praise Ana
etee,ei-sehei-
rr,

thanks from the different' sections can
not be extended to Mr. Porter and hie
amiable wife. In the evening, at Mr.
Porter's request, a number of his most
intimate friends and acquaintances re-
turned and indulged in a social hop
until a seasonable hour, when all dis-
pensed, feeling that they, had spent an
enjoyable day and a pleasant evening.

HORSE LOST. —On Wed esday of last

Staffa, went to Port Albe t to assist in
the raising of Mr. James Olver's barn,
He turned his horse out with Mr. Olver's-
and in the morning it w ts gone, and he
has not heard of it since, The horse
knew the road well, andj would likely
have come home if not tletained. We
hope Mr. Hotham may b successful in
finding him as it was a valuable animal.

DOMINION DAY.—The 'Dominion Day
celebration proved succeshful and satis-
factory in every respect. The weather,
although threatening rain in the morn-
ing, turned out delightful, and there
was a large crowd of p ople in town.
The procession in the forenoon was
quite an imposing even , and greatly
pleased the large crowd ho witnessed
it. ID the afternoon a splendid pro-
gramme of sports was ca ried out to the
pleasure of all, and in t e evening the
crowd quietly dispersed all seemingly
well pleased with their days' outing.
The day was closed wit a promenade
concert and dance 'for t e young folks
in the evening. During he afternoon a
little mishap occurred, which created
considerable excitement for a few min-
utes. The crowd on t e grand stand
became tots great for th endurance of
the structure, and it c lapsed with a
crash, and there was recipitated to
mother eisarth a heterage eous mass of
humanity, which was af erwards found
to be more frightened t an hurt. Be-
yond a few scratches a d bruises no
one was seriously injured. Aside from
this no untoward e ent occurred
to mar the pleasures of the day, and
everything passed off pl asantly and in
good order.

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.—
The Society of Christian Endeavor, of
Carmel Presbyterian Church, met in the
basement as usual on Monday evening
last. 'The meeting was led by Mrs.
Fulton. After singing the opening
hymn, in which all joined heartily, and
reading the scripture lesscin of the even-
ing, prayer was offered by Mr. Hughes.
A large number of Scriptnre references
beering upon the evening's topic, "Pre-
sent Senses of Christian life," were given
by the members. Mr. Hughes read a
paper upon the topic, which was atten-
tively listened to, while Rev. Mr. Mel -
drums of Indiana, United States, who is
visiting here at present, and who hap-
pened to drop in upon the meeting, de-
livered a short addrese in which he gave
an account of his connection with the
Christian Endeavor movement in the
United States since its inception to the
present time. He said that the move-
ment had there already become almost
national; that it would soon become
contenental, and that ultimately with-
out ee doubt it would become universal.
He emphasized the importance of "inde-
vidual efforts and individual responsi-
bility " in connection with both Church
and Sabbath School work as well as
with that of the Society, and cited
examples, that had come under his own
observation, to show the great and
lasting benefits that often result from
earnest, well directed efforts on the
part of the individual. In concluding
hie address he expressed a regret at the
unavoidable Absence of the pastor, Rev.
J. S. Henderson. Mr. Henderson and
-himaelf had been old College associates,
having formerly attended Knox College
together some ten years ago. At the
close of the meeting the election of
officers for the ensuing year was pro-
ceeded with, and resulted as followe
President, Mr. J. T. Wren; Vice Presi-
dent, Miss Brown; Secretary, Mr. R.
Young; Treasurer Miss Jennie Car-
lyle. A Sabbath School and Look Out
committee, and an executive committee
were also elected, the members names
of which we have not time to mention.

OBITUARY. —On Saturday afternoon,
July 4th, Mrs. John Webster, of the
10th concession, after a severe and fin-
gering illness, passed away to join the
innumerable throng. The high esteem
in which she was held was shown by
the very large number who assembled to
convey her mortal remains to their last
resting place in the Wingham cemetery.
The sorroiving husband and the three
small children have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of all.
CITURCH OPENING.—The people at
the Bethel appointment, on the White-
church circuit, have enlarged and re-
modled their old church, giving it a
very handsome and commodious ap-
pearance. It is finished on the outside
with a brick veneering. The inside does
not present any unnecessary display,but
everything looks tidy, neat and comfort-
able. The opening services were held
last Sabbath, July 5th, and were con-
ducted by Conductor Snider, who
preached three times during the day.
Every available foot of room within the
church was occupied, and many who
could not get id partook themselves to
the roof of a shed which was near the
open window of the church. Every one
present listened with rapt attention to
Conductor Snider who spoke with a
great deal of enthusiasm. On Monday
evening a tea -meeting was held, and as
usual the Bethel people were not behind.
Everything that could be wished was to
be had on the well laden tables. Dr.
Chisholm, of Wingham, was expected to
occupy the chair, but being unable to be

DOMINION DAY. —Canada's national
birthday was celebrated in great style
in Brussels. A eplendid programme

had been prepared by an efficient coin-
mittee, and was well carried out; the
weather was delightful, and there wits -a•
large crowd of visitors present, some
estimating the numbers at two thousand.
The programme consisted of a Trades
Procession, in which all the business in-
terests of the town were well represent-
ed, and some of them were busily en-
gaged at their ordinary, every-dayhandi-
craft, thus lending to the procession ad-
ditional attractions; a fire engine con-
test in which the attendants of one en-
gine tried to drown those of the other,
much to the amusement of the onlookeree
These two exhibitions served to keep -
the crowd amused and interested for the
forenoon. In the afternoon there wee le

Brussels and Atwood. The match wits-
& keen one, no goal being scored during.

through the flags just as the referee's -
whistle blew "time up." The match.
thus stood Brussels, 3; Atwood, 0. The'
next was a.base-ball match between the
clubs of Brussels and Belgrave. In this,
match the visitors proved too much for
Che home team and scored a victory by
4 runs. In addition to these matches-.
were bicycle and foot races, lumping,
and other athletic sports, not to forget
mention of a " graund " bagpipe compe-
tition, which drew forth as large & •
