" A meeting was called last evening and a
Canadian Club organized in Denver, with

rio, as president, and W. B. Robb, formerly
of Huron County, as secretary. - About
2,000 Canadians are located in Denver,1 and
The Maple Leaf Club starts out with a
good list of memberships, which will prove
a useful factor in encouraging a spirit of
eociability among the Canadians who !may
visit the city and with those who make Den-
ver their home." We are glad the Cana-

they come and which they are evidently
proud to own and remembee.

DISTRIQT MATTERS.
HARD PAPERS. -We understand that the
examination papers of this year for Teach-
ers' certificates;were not a fair teat of the
candidate's knowledge. The Junior Leaving
Arithmetic and Algebra papers were
especially unfair. A great deal of com-
plaint has consequently been the resalt.
However, we hope , the examiners will deal
leniently with the papers, and trust the can-
didates will come out with a better showing
than they at present expect.

SERIOUS AGCIDENT.-Mr. James Hender-
son, of the 4th concesaion of McKillope met
with a very serious accident a few days ago.
He was assisting ia loading hay, when the
horses gave a sudden'atart causing him; to
lose his balance and fall to the ground. He
was completely paralyzed as a result of ; the
fall, and as he is upwards of 70 years of 'age,
his recovery is very doubtful. He is still in
an almost helpless condition.
-Since the above was in type Mr. Hen-
derson has departed this life. He rhad
reached the advanced age of 79 years, 'but
he was still remarkably hale and hearty,
and but for this unfortunate accident bade
fair to reach a much - greater age. He was
a native of Roxboroughshire, Scotland, 'and
came to this country and settled on the farm
in McKillop about 51 years ago,and on which
he resided continuously until his death.
He was the second eldest of four brothers,
viz.: John, James, Andrew and William.
They all occupied adjoining farms, and were
amorg the pioneers of the dietrict. His
wife died about twenty years ago. He had
a family of ten children, six of whom are
still surviving. He was a quiet,indiistrious,
honest man, and was much and deservedly
esteemed in the community where he had
lived for over half a century. Hie death
removes another honored landtnark of this
district.

Pic-Nic.-The annual pic-nic in connec-
tion with the Presbyterian Sabbath School
in this toVen was held in Case's grove on
Friday afternoon last. There was a• fair
attendance of children, parents and others
interested in the school, and there would
have been many more, but for the unfayer.
able weather. Rain threatened nearly all
afternoon, and there was, towards evening
a very high wind which marred the pleasure
of all. But, notwithstanding these some-
what formidable drawbacks, a very pleasant
afternoon was spent and all, both old and
young, seemed to make the beet of the sit-
nation, and to go in for a good time. The
refreshments, as usual, 011 such occasions,
were among the leading attractions, and
they were all that could be desired and in
abundance.

SHOOTING MATCIL-A team from the Sea-

day and enjoyed a trial of ;akin with the
club of that town. After a oloee contest
Seaforth came out first by one shot, the
score standing 92 for Seaforth and 91 for
.
Brussels. The shooting on both sides was
exceptionally Q00d, as the high TIM ka made
show. The Seaforth marksmen were de-
lighted with the hospitable manner in which
they were treated by the Brussels friends
and hope to have an opportunity of return-
ing the hospitality at no distant day. The

A HORONITE HONORED. -OUT readers may
have noticed the announcement of a pro-
posed marriage in high life in Cleveland,
Ohio. The rgroom was Baron Von Litt-
vet; a Lieutenant in the German Army;
and the bride Miss Mary Carey, a society
belle and daughter of the late -John E.
Carey, one elf Cleveland's wealthiest citizens.
The marriage took place on Thurschiy of last
week. The trousean of the bride was made
by Mrs. James Moore, formerly of this
town, and aunt of Mr. E, E. Hallett, who is
a fashionable dress maker in Cleveland.
The dresses were almost numberless and the
material in some of them cost over $9 per
yard. Mrs. Moore sent to Mrs. Hallett"
several samples bf the materials from which
some of the garments were made. We hope
Mrs. Moore's fee Wa8 proportionate with
the high-np character of the parties and the
excellent quality of. the garments' made,

P.
became excited, and although close to the
fence they in some way turned around and
in doing so one of them, a valuable ycung
mare, got 'on top of a post where she re-
mained suspended. Aseietance was at once
at hand, but before the animal could be
removed the post had penetrated its bowels
and it had to be killed. The post had to be
cut down before the mare could be got off
even after she was dead. The fence was of
boards and the post an ordinary square
topped one. How the beast got into each a
position it ie impossible to say, as it all ore
curred BO quickly that in the confusion of
the moment no person noticed jest how the
accident occurred. The mare was valued
at $400, being registered in the Clydesdale
Stud book of Great Britain and from Mr.
Avery's imported mare "'Bonnie Jean."
Fortunately for her owner, she was insured
in the Ontario Live Stock Insurance Com-
party. This is another instance of the ad-
vantages derivable from insuring animals ef
this kind, as, no matter how careful a . ' ',-
son may be, they are always subject to acci-
dent and death, and even a small sum is
better than nothing.
FUNERAL OF Josaiat KETERSON. - The

Tea: WEATHER. -The farmers of thie im-
mediate vicinity have been specially favored
in the matter.cf weather since haying coma
menced. Most of the hay has been housed
without having received a drop of rain since
being cut, and it is the largest and best crop
that has been secured for many years. In
other parts of the county farmers have not
been 80 fortunate. On Friday afternoon
last there•ssas a heavy shower both to the
south and northweet, but there was nothing
of any account within ten miles of this
place. The rain was accompa,nied by a
very high vvind and in some places by a fall
of hail which did considerable damage to
the crops. The fall wheat is coming on fast
and fall wheat harvest will be general next
week. The recent bright, cool weather has
been favorable to 'the filling of the heads,
but the crop will not be nearly so geed ae
last year, In many places the grain is
badly lodged and tangled. A good deal of
this is rusted and will give only a light
yield of good grain. In other places the
heads have been badly blighted, but despite
these drawbacks there are many exoellent
fields which will give a satisfactory yield
and onthe whole there will be a fair average
crop, Spring wheat looks well so far,' and
an unusually large breadth has been sown
this year. Oats and peas are a heavy clap
and if they fill and ripen well there shoeld
be no scarcity of food for either man Or

JULY 22, 1892
improved, and talk stroncly of Government
grants for harbor ime arements, cow by-
laws, etreet lamps, etc., id even go so far
as to prediot railroads, 1-- -, alas, when they
are elected their interest soon fades. The
health inspector, who , was to be such a
hustler and was to see that every place was
made scrupulously clean, faila to even make
one tour of inspection. The cows, eheep,
pigs and geese are allowed to perambulate
at leisure, and at night take refuge on Clan
Gregor square, by the city hall, and no won-
der, for many barns are much more respect-
able looking. Unless painted the summer
visitors will go away with the impression
there are no town fathers, or, if any, they
favor the female voters who own the geese,
pigs, cattle, &c., which make a common pas-
ture of our public streets. Perhaps they are
leaving these much needed improvements
until another election, and then spruce up
and make the voters believe that they are
attentive to the town's interests and wel-
fare, and then seek re-election. The com-
plaints above mentioned are but a few of the
many that could be given, and are borne out
by facts. It is a great pity that such a state
of affairs should exist, especially at this
season when so many outside citizens visit
Bayfield. In couelueion we would ask, who
is supposed to remove the refuse of old cul-
verts after the council bave placed a new
one, as on Main street ?--On Sunday morn-
