sulating covering had been removed com-
municated the electricity to the framework
of the awning and from there it was
distributed through the store. It was only
necessary to touch with the finger around
the door or awning to receive a good ahem
shock. Once the awning took fire from the
curvet, but it was promptly put out.

ter of George Henderson, 3rd line of Morris,

day while pla,ying with a young colt in the
pasture field. She _is recovering nicely.
-One day during the hot week John K.
Baker, 10th concession of Grey, lost a valu-
able mare from sunstroke. The beast was

had taken great pains to complete for the
e fall exhibition.

Bruce, of Toronto, has been appointed
mathematical master in the Collegiate In
stitate, Harbord street, at a good ealary.
Mr. Bruce is a son of Mr. A. Bruce, of
Brussel, and is another of old Huron's sons
who is doing credit to his early training.
-On Sunday befere last a fire originated
from an unknown cause in a bedroom of Mr.
'John Hawkshave's residence in Exeter, and
before it was discovered the bed, bed clothes
and some pieces of furniture were cornpleteiy
destroyed. Mrs. Hawkshaw was the first
to notice smoke issuing from underneath the
door, and on opening it discovered the room
to be all in flames. It had burned one
window sill nearly through and no doubt
the place would heve been destroyed if the
fire had reached the outside.
-It is reported that notice of a writ on
the council of Goderich township for $2,000
has been served on the Deputy Reeve by an
occupier of a farm on the Ba,yfield cences-
Bien., on account of a living [stream of water
which crossed the corner of said farm, being
turned and carried another direction. ,
-The first threshing in the vicinity of
Exeter was done on Monday, August lat, on
the farm of Mr. John Hawkshaw, by Mr.

ber of acres of fall wheat were hauled and
put through the machine during the day.
The yield was considered fair and of a
beautiful brightness in color.
-One day last week Mr. James Reynolds,
of Hullett, had a bad accident. One of his
SODS was driving a binder with a spirited
team, when they got frightened and ran
away. The boy was thrown off and fortun-

him getting otherwise hurt. The binder
was so badly smashed as to be useless, and
was a new one laat season.

were followed to the grave on Saturday last
by a lerge concourse of sorrowing friends.

time a confirmed invalid, she attracted, by
pleasant manner and goodness of heart, a
wide circle of true friends who deeply mourn
her early demise.
-All_ the papers belonging to the Foresters
and Orange lodges of Holinesville were
burned in the hotel last week, Mr. Mude,
the proprietor of the hotel, is rether unfor-
tunate, as this is said to be the seventh time
he has been burned out, and coneiderable
sympathy is felt for him. A peculiar coin-
cidence is that it VCRS just four years ago
the same night that T. C. Pickard's house
in the same village was burned by lightning.
-On Monday, the let inet., Mr. William
c'eatt, of &Lomas, and Miss Jane, daughter
of Mr,George Dickson, at M cKillop township,

church. May success and happiness attend
them along the journey of life.
-One day last week Mr. James Young,
of Auburn, while working around the
machinery in his mill was caught by a belt
and whirled around a shaft several times
before the machinery could be stopped.
He was very seriously injured, having a,
bone in one of his legs fractured, one arm
broken and hia shoulder dislocated. It was
fortunate, however,under the circumstances,
that he escaped with his life.
-Grand Bend village has been increased
in its population the past two weeks by
about three hundred people who are camp-
ing and occupyingeeottages at the beautiful
summer resort, the property of Mr. John
Spackman, on the shore of Lake Huron.
Grand Bend is becoming very popular as a
summer reeort. It is situated within easy
distance of Exeter and is one of the most
charming spote for a summer outing a per-
m could desire.
-Mr. E. Hovey, of Clinton, happened
with a peculiar and painful accident the
other evening. He was bicycling to the
camping ground a few miles distant and had
a bottle of medicine in his hip pocket. He
had an upset and in falling his weight broke
the bottle and he received several severe
-wounds from the broken glass.
-At a recent meetiug of the Clinton
Public &heel Board Miee Barker, of King-
ston'was engaged to take eharge of one of
the lower departments, with the intention
that she should also take the Kindergarten
work. It was afterwards learned that she
had. not the necessary qualifications and the
Board were reluctantly compelled to leave
over Kindergarten work until next January.
Miss McEwen, of Hensel% has been engaged
at a salary of $275.
-On Tuesday evening of last week a
select party of young people met at the
residence of Mrs. Schoales, in Constance,
and presented Miss Belle SchoaIes with an
address and a purse contaioing $30, as a
slight mark of their appreciation of her
services as organist in the Presbyterian
choir. The -address was read Ly Miss Jessie
McGregor, and the purse was presented by
Miss Annie 'McIntosh. Miss Schoales has
eevered her connection with the choir and
leaves in a short time for Manitoba, and as
she has been an earnest ohuroh worker she
will be much missed by her many friends in
this place.
-Rev. W. Craig, B.D., who has been the
efficient rector of iSt. Paul's church, Clinton,
for eleven or twelve years, announced hest
Sunday evening that he had been offered
and accepted the parish at Petrolea. Since
the reverend gentleman went to Clinton he
has seen and worked many changes for the
betterment of that parish.
-The congregations of Manchester and
Smith's Hill, which have been without a
pastor since the resignation of- Rev. A. Mc-
Millan, have tendered a unanimous call to
Rev. Robert Henderson, now of Bayfield.
This gentleman supplied for them for three
months, and they have, therefore, a personal
knowledge of his fitness. Since Mr, Hen-
derson has had charge of Bayfield circuit,
the churches under hie care have progressed
wonderfully,e, large number of new members
having joined, and the spiritual interest
generally being much greater.
--On Monday, the lat inst., eight cars of
live stock were shipped from Brussels to the
Eastern markets. Messrs. Scott & Jones
had four cars of cattle; Messrs. Clegg &
Dames three cars and Maitre. _Bawtinheimer
& Heffernan one car of hogs. It is stated
by parties who are supposed to know that
about4$8,000 was paid out by the buyers on
that day. Only a portion of the cattle were
weighed, as a good share was purchased by
the head. Here is a list of those weighed :
Colin McArthur, Morris, 35 head, 47,450
pounds; Neil McDonald, Morris, 23 head,
30,980 pounds; E. Olver, Morris, 14 head,
16,820 pounds ; Archibald Hislop, Grey, 8

-A very pleasant gathering took place at
the residence of Mr. Charles Tom, in Ex-
eter, on Wednesday of last week, to witness
the marriage ceremony of his youngest
daughter, Laura, to Mr. D. A. Bowerman,
of Minomonie, Wisconsin, formerly of klx-
eter. The nuptial knot was tied by the
Rev. A. L. Russell, in the presence a a
number of the contracting parties' most in-
timate friends and near relatives. The bride
was supported by her sister, while Mr. John
Manning acted as groomsman. After the
ceremony was performed a very enjoyable
time was spent in social chat, etc. The
presents were numerous and costly. The
happy couple took the train in the evening
for Chicago, where they will spend their
honeymoon.
-The spirit of Eva Bawtinheimer, of
Brussels, took its flight on Thursday morn-
ing of last week. Her death was not unex-
pected as she has been in a sinking condition
for some time. Consumption, resulting'
from an attack of Is grippe in January,
1890, was the cause of her decease. For
the past six weeks ehe-had been confined to
her bed. _ She was 24 years of age and was
the second daughter of A. Bewtinheimer, of
Brussels, and was born in the county of Ox-
ford. She was a thorough going Christian
young woman, a willing worker in the
Master's vineyard and always ready to add
her testimony to the saving power of the
religion she enjoyed.
-Soree time ago the Rev. Mr, Anderson,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,Goderich,
had the misfortune to lose his driving horse
by death. The members of his congrega-
tion soon set to work to raise money with
which to purchase another horse for their
pastor, but in the meantime Mr. Anderson
being unaware of what was going on,bought
a horse himself. But, not to be out -done,
his good hearted people collected the money
that had been subscribed and instead of
buying another horse presented their pastcir
with the money. So that he not only got a
horse that suited him but considerably more
money than the animal cost him.
esese

dealer in Fergus, Wellington county, who
had been spending some time at the house
of a friend in Liverpool, committed suicide

-Mr. James Anderton, the well-known
proprietor of the -Fairview brewery at Barrie,
was burnt_ to death at his farm near that
place early Wednesday morning. Mr.
Auderton went to the farm the previous
night to oversee some work that was being
done, and it is supposed that during the
heavy rain the tent in whieh he was sleep-
ing became too wet, and he went to the
barn for shelter. The barn was stsuck by
lightning and barned to the ground, and it
is thought Mr. Anderton received a shock
and was unable to escape from the burniug
building.
-Sir Daniel Wilson, president of the
Toronto University, died early Sabbath
morning after a somewhat protracted ill-
nees. He wus born in Edinburgh, Scotland,
in 1816, and was aged 76 years. In his
27th year he came to Canada at the instance
of the historiau, Hallam, who, with Lord
Elgin, the then GOvernor-General of Can-
ada, warmly recommended the appointment
of the young literateur to the chair of
history and English literature in University
College, Toro/pito.
-Last Monday morning, about five
o'clock, two sons of Mr. Robert Young, liv-
ing on lot 35, concession 5. Greenock town-
ship, Bruce county, were, burned to death.
Mrs, Young had started a fire in the kitchen
stove and then went- out to the barn. In
some unaccountable manner the kitchen took
fire, and the flames and smoke soon ascended
by the staircase upstairs. The eldest boy,
aged 21 years, escaped and ran to the barn
for a ladder. On breaking the window and
attempting to enter on his return, the smoke
and flames drove him back, and two boys,
Thomas, aged 16, and George,aged 12 years,
were, as reported above burned to, death.
Mrs. Young is prostrated grief, and the
whole family is sorrow -stricken by this dis-
tressing calamity.

jobbing at alit! to 10c. Eggs -There is a good de-
mand for all that come in, and the market ic firm at
llac to 12e.
MONTRZAL, August 9.-Cheese-C'hoi& stock can-
not be had less than outside quotations: We quote :
Colored, Inc to Inc ; white, Oc to 91e. Butter -But-
ter is firm and fairly active. Creamery Is being
purchased at high prices, --which places the cost
above values here; consequently trade in it on spot
is quiet. Other grades meet with steady detnand for
home wants. We quote: Creamer,', • new, 191,e, to
201c ; Townships, dairy, new, 160 to 17'c; Morris
burg and Brockville; new, 15e to 17c; western dairies
new, 14e 'to 10c. Eggs -Receipts continue pretty
large,of which a mutate percentage is '! rather azed"
for candle light. For fresh stock the demand is
fairly brisk at 11c to 1.2e.
--a-An old country report dated August 8, makes the
following referenCe to the English tgg maticet : Ar-
rivals and stook are -moderate ; the peesent tendency
is steady ; the market for next week's arrivals will
probably be •,unchanged. Special teruarks : Cana-
dians continue to arrive in bad condition,the weather
evidently being too hot.
Lrerte Feta:a August 9. -Cheese -We have had a
perplexing market here yesterday, and trade held on
till later than ever before. There was a very sharp
competition on several of the leading factories, and
it watt a late hour before anything definite could be
learned about prices. The factory men are of course
delighted with the still higher prices, and all have
confidence that these prices have come to stay. But.
ter -There were 64 packages of creamery butter sold
at 221e to 23/c, the bulk at 23/e. There were 16
packages dairy butter sold at 19c to 22e.

Live Stock Markets.
pacts bad; act cautiously." And another
says "Turnip crop likely to prove • a fail-
ure; go slow." And still another says :
"Don't pay more than 304 for freight;
prospects very bad owing to poorer crop
prospects." The sheep market is even worse
than the cattle market, and shippers claim
that sheerbought here at alro per pound are
losing Is to 2a per head. The following
cable in reference to sheep explaina itaelf :
" Market lower; supplies are heavy and
buyers are making their own terms. We
think that bottom has been reached. Av-
erage price, 308. In view of such cables
as these, is it any wonder that the shippers
should feel Bore? Of course there must be
sonie reason for this state of affairs, and it's
not hard to find. It is the general opinion
among shippers that the short crops are re-
sponsible for the large receipts of home fed
cattle, and that the very poor class of cattle
now going forward from -here cannot com-
pete with the well finished cattle raised on
the other side and in the States,where cattle
seem to be very plentiful. The shippers clid
not expect to make up for past losses on
their stockers, but owing, no doubt, to the
bad crop report*, the trade in etore cattle
bide fair to turn out just as bad as the fat
cattle did, Stockers lost 108 to ;C1 last
week, and the advices were by no means en-
couragiag in tone. There are two ways for
the shippers to make money. The cattle
coming in are bf poor quality and ,must be
bought at lower prices, or the eteamship
people must reduce their rate of 453 to 308.
There is no prospect of improvement on the
other Aide, so it ie either a case of less at
first cost here or stop shipping. Locally
trade is quiet and the receipts and shipments
are the smallest of the seaman.

British Grain Trade.
The Mark Lane Express of the 9th inst.,
in its weekly review of the British grain
trade, says: English wheats are weaker.
There has been an average fall in the Lon-
don market of 6d. The harvest is progress-
ing in tte south of England. The crops of
wheat and barley are good, but beans and
peas promise badly. The whole wheat har-
vest of the United Kingdom, if August
proves fine, is calculated at less than the
crop of 1891. Potatoes promise a yield of
6,500,000 tons, This is likely to limit the
demand for wheat. Foreign wheats are
heavy. American winter cargoes have fallen
6d. Corrais steady, Barley is quiet. Beans
and peas " are firm. At to -day's markets
English wheats were unimproved. Foreign
wheats were firmer. California., Indian and
Australian were 6d better. Oats were 3c1
higher. Beans, owing to the spread of the
blight in the home crops, rose is.

Review of the Cattle Trade.
MONTREAL, August 8. -The live stock
shippers are, no doubt, the sickest lot of in-
dividuals one could meet. They are so
downhearted that they cannot talk, but
show their cables with a kind of "ain't that
too bad" air which makes one feel that the
lot of the Crinadian livo stock shipper is by
no means a happy one. There is not a pro-
ableimarIcet on the other side at the present
time, and last week seems to be a record -
breaker so far as losses are concerned. The
list of shippers is becoming smaller and
smaller, and the few who Still remain in the
swim would ne doubt be ready to get clear
of any space they have on hand and step
down and out for the time being. All the
cables from the other side are very disap-
pointing in character. The majority ask for
a reduction of drafts, and the others advise
the utmost caution. One private cable to-
