i
of the proprieto of the livery stable here,
and was univer lly respected and liked.
His parents reside' in Canada, and were not

that his death oncurred only. a few days
after he was to hriere been married. * *

*fun Lawn- SOorase-The Epworth Leageie
of the Methodist church held a lawn social
at Mr. James Beattie's residence on Tues-
day evening. The atmosphere was sa
chilly as to decidedly discourage the con-
simption of ioe cream, but nevertheless
there was quite a, large crowd present and
the refreshment tables were generally full.
The 33rd battalion band. was present and
played very nicely, and besides there was a'
programme of vocal music, consisting of
solos, choruses, etc., as -well 'as instrument-
als en the piano. Among the numbers was
a, very well rendered solo by Miss May
Williams, of Detroit. In spite of the cold
- all present seemed to enjoy themselves' and
.the lawn social may be considered a decided
soccess. The lawn Was beautifully intenin-
god by electric light.

Aaloraon Ilotannts DErsaters: - Mr.
Michael McQuade, of the 3rd concession of
Tuckersmith, died, on Friday a . last
week. Mr. McQuade had beee in poer
health for some time and had failed rapidly
within the past year. He was an Irishman
by birth, but was one of the pioneer resi-
dents of this county. He was ta man of
aood ability and took an active interest in
0
public affairs. He was a good speaker and
a-reatly writer and was a frequent ton-
. tributor to the press. on agricultural and
, other subjects. He avas for a time a mem-
ber of the Grange organization and held sev-
eral prominent offices in that Society. He
waa a kind-hearted, honorable man ; a good
citizen and a genial companion, and was one
of those who clid his best to leave the wodd
better than he found it. He was 63 years of
age, and was a consistent and active mem-
ber of St. James' Roman Catholic chtirch.

Tun Ditouctirr.-Rain is now very much
needed, as vegetation is at a stand -still for
lack of moisture. The " oldest inhabitant ".
declares " he never saw such a dry spell."
Pastures are so burned. up that they look
more like a summerfallow than grass fields.
Stock of all kinds are suffering severely for
want of feed and water. Li many places
the ordinary streams are dried up, wells
havo given out, and animals have to be
driven miles to water. The worst conse-
quences, however, result from the clouds of
grasshoppers which it breeds: ' They are de-
vouring every green thing Before the oats
weriS harvested they fed upon them, an in
many places a goodly portion Of the rop
has been destroyed. And now that the ats
are oitt of theway they are attacking the
turnips. Many patches, both north 'and
south of this, have been completely de-
stroyed, and unless there be a raM fall
soon, there will not be any turnips left.
Those who have tried it say that even paris
green will not° destroy them. The genius
who can invent something that will rid the
country of these pests could make a fortune
in one season,

of Perth and Huron were called to attend. a
meeting at Clinton on Wednesday, fon the
purpose of bringing out a candidate for the

came necessary to select another cancslidate.

.0.11E'S BEEN HERE Too. -a The following -
be interesting to some of our citizens,
who took part -in a benefit concert for the
gentleman named, a short time ago : " A
fellow named McGaw, who professes to be,
and doubtless is, cripple, canie to Orange-
ville a week ago and registered at the Grand
Central Hotel. He at once proceeded to
get up a charity concert ' to assist him in
purcha,sing a medical steel -appliance to en-
able him to walk.' The concert took piece
in the basement of the Presbyterian church
on Tuesday evening and about 40 persons
were 'present. Only four Of the dozen per-
formers who agreed to take part in the
prograanme put in an appearance. Some-
how or other the diseriminating public
thought that Mr. McOaw-wiss a pious fraud
and the concert was given . a wide berth.
McGaw left $1.25 at the station next morn -
to settle a $5.25 printing bill. He bad
evidently been in the charity concert busi-
nets for some time, and. thegeneral opinion
in that be has long ainee 'scooped in money
enough to purchase the steel, appliance with
several drinks thrown in. MeGaw gave his
little game away when he -posted up 'a num-
ber of painted advertising boards . that had
every appearance of having been on the
road for some time. He -claimed to hail
from Guelph, which city might reasonably
be expected to provide for him if he has any
claim upon it. Charity should not only
begin, but is always a safer investment, at
home, where its recipients are best known."
-Advertiser. The Guelph Mercury adds :
" McGaw was in Guelph some time and
undertook to do the same thing in the city
hall, but those who promised to take part
in the programme failed to appear on ac-
count of McGawrs reputation not being the
best." The Brussels Post says in addition :
" He has been here." tts several other

FIRE. -About two -o'clock Sunday morn-
ing the fire bell awoke our citizens from
their slumbers, the old Methodist church on
Elizabeth street being on fire, in facto. masa
of flames when it was first seen. The en-
gine was soon at the tank, only a block
away, and nothing was destroyed but the
old -church and its contents. In it were
stowed two hay preases owned by Idessre.
Baeker sts Vanstone, and sleighs and euttets
belonging to other parties. There may
have been some insuranee on the building,
as it is said there is a mortgage on the
property to a loan company. It is owned
by Mr. John Stacey, formerly of this place.
There was no insurande on the contents.
The fire was, doubtless, the work of an ins
cendiary, or of some tramp lying around,
hut the motive can not be understood unleSs
pure devilishness, After it was out and
the firemen engaged filling the tank, some
of them, coming up from the engine, and
seeing a light in the skating rink. and the
shadow of a man, went to see. but the man
had disappeared, though not 'before setting
the rink on fire. They quickly put it out.
This circumstance makes it appear as if we
bad a fire bug in town.
