ANOTHER HORSE `GONE. -- We are
aorry to learn of the death of the im-
ported stallion, ``‘ Lord Erskine," the
property of Mr. George Taylor, of Kip -
pen. He was on his accustomed
rounds last week and took sick at Mr.
John Dale's, Huron Road, one of his
night stands,and died in a few hours.He
was a most promising young horse and
hie death is a heavy loss to his owner.
Mr. Taylor imported him with another
about three years ago and only used him
two seasons. He was proving himself
an excellent stock horse and had he
lived would have been a profitable animal
for his owner. He was not insured. These
horses are a risky kind of stock.
DIED ITN KEEWATIN. —The many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Malcolm, formerly of this town, will
read with feelings of sorrow and deep
sympathy for the bereaved parents and
friends, the following announcement
which we take from the Milanedosa,
Manitoba, Tribune of June 26. Mr.
Malcolm has had many severe afflictions
lately, but this is the worst and will be
Illioat keenly felt of all. The Tribune
says "Mrs. Wm. McCuaig died at
Keewatin on Monday morning. The
remains were brought to town on Tues-
day evening for interment in the ceme-
tery here. The funeral was delayed to
enable the parents to reach town from
Lake Dauphin. The late Mrs. MeCuaig
was Nellie, second daughter of Mr. An-
drew Malcolm, formerly of Minnedosa,
and during her residence here one of the
lost -popular young ladies in the town.
Much regret is felt for her early
demise."
FOOT BIALL SUPPER.—A supper was
tendered the Huron foot ball team and
some of their friends at the Queen's
Hotel, on Monday evening last, by Mr.
Thomas Stephens, jr. •After the guests
had partaken of an elegant and very
bountiful spread Mr. R. Jamieson was
called to the cheir, and a programme of
speeches, songs, etc., was gone through
with. The songs were of the highest
order and the speeches, although each
apeeker.expreseed his regret at not being
able to compliment the boys on being
champions of Ontario, were witty but
short, some of them exceedingly short.
Although the boys did not succeed in
defeating the Scots this did not seem to
dampen their spirits any, as all were in
the best �f hilmor and every person
spent a grand time. Great praise is due
Mr. Stephens for the bountiful repast
which he provided, and the boys are
thankful to him for the royal way in
which he entertained them.
A CORRECTION.—Dr. Campbell, who
was the attending physician on the late
Mr. William Ireland, of Tuckersmith,
thinks we did him an injustice in our
statement last week of the illnems of the
deceased gentleman and wishes us to
publish the following correction, which
we give in his own words. The Doctor
says " Daring the night he (Mr. Ire-
land) was taken with severe pain and
distress in the region of the heart and at
3 a. m. he told his friends that he Could
not live 24 hours in such pain. Shortly
after 5 o'clock a message was dispatched
for me. I found him sitting in a chair
doubled up, suffering intensely. He
assured me that he could not stand the
suffering and, pleaded for relief. I re-
mained three hours with him, cautiously
doing all I could to give him relief—he
pleading all the time for relief and even
upbraiding me about being stingy about
my medicine, saying that I must be
keeping it for some other patient.
was sornewhst relieved when I left and
he rested several hours. At 4 o'clock
when I saw him again, he did awake
when I epoke to him and looked around,
Mut did not speak, _ At this time the
breathing was 23 in the minute and the
pupils nAural,and not the first sign of
keying taken too large a dose of an
opiate, as certainly he had not done.
There was complete failure of the heart's
action however, from a cause which
was afterwards proven from the post
Mortem, the result of which has already
been published."
THE WEATELER AND CROPS. —T hes e
are subjects of considerable interest to
all at present. Thus far this season the
weather has been very favorable to grow-
ing crops of all kinds. There have been
a few very -warn spells, but they were
of short duration, and were generally
followed by refreshing showers and cool,
invigorating weather. The crops never
gave promise of a more abundant =yield
than at the present time. Hay is a re-
markably heavy crop, and is being saved
in good order. Fall wheat is very heavy,
and although lodged in some places,
there is no appenrance of rust or blight
as yet, while the past few days have
been very favorable for filling. Barley
nd spring wheat also give promise of a
large yield. Oats looked well for a time,
but within the past week many fields
seem to -have been smitten with some
kind of blight and the leaves are turn-
ing red as if singed by fire. Whether
or not this will affect the growth it is
too early yet to say. Peas will be an
abundant crop, and roots of all kinds
promise well. It is said by some who
profess to know that apples are likely
to be a light crop again this year, much
of the young fruit having fallen off the
trees, On the whole, however, pros-
OBITI1ARY.—In Our obituary column
last week we published the death of
Annie, younger daughter of Mr. Wm.
Murray, of the township of Laird, Al-
goma, and formerly of Tuokerernith.
She died at hey home on the 24th of
June, after being ill for some time. She
was first taken ill with inflammation of
the bowels but with unceasing care she
got over that, then dropsy set in and
proved fatal. She wae for eight weeks
confined to her bed, and all that time
was always gentle, patient and cheethil.
She was twelve years of 'age, and though
so young she had many friends. Dur-
ing her illness she was daily cheered by
seeing the faces of her school compan-
ions who -showed their love by frequent-
ly visiting her. At times while she was
able she would sing hymns softly to
herself. Among the last she sang was
Rock of Ages. Her favorite was :
Around the Throne of God in Heaven
Thousands of children stand ;
Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band.
Mr; and Mrs. Murray have the heart-
felt sympathy of the entire community
in their bereavement.

DEATH OF MASTER JOHN KENNEDY.—
Much regret was felt on learning of the
death of Master John Kennedy, young-
est son of our esteemed townsman, Mr.
H. P. Kenitedy. He had been attend-
ing the High School, and while amusing
himself got overheated. He came home
and changed his clothing, but instead of
putting on heavier clothes he put on
lighter, and., went out in the evening
and got chilled. In this way it is sup-
posed he caught cold, which ultimately
resulted in malarial fever. He had a
very severe attack last winter of
la grippe, and his constitution having
been weakened by that, he was less
able to withstand the present attack,
and gave way after an illness of about
fourteen days. He was 16 years and 5
months of age, an was a particularly
bright and winning lad, and was a nni-
versal favorite with both old and young.
His early death is a subject of the deep-
est sorrow to his young companions, and
is a severe affliction to his parents. The
sincerest sympathy of the entire com-
munity is extended to them in this the
hour of their Affliction. . The remains
were interred in the Maitlandbank cem-
etery on Tuesday.

DOG HUNTING.—Mr. G. E. Cresswell,
the genial and well-known -ex-Reeve of
Tuckersmith, and ex -Warden of Huron,
is thinking seriously of inditing a book
detailing his experiences in dog -hunting
which, he thinks, he could make suffi-
ciently interesting to secure for it a
wide circulation: On the day of the
political nominations he went to Hen -
sail, and his faithful dog followed him.
In the crowd there he lost track of the
brute and has heard nothing of him
since. He was a very valuable collie
dog, being useful and tntelligent beyond
his species. He advertised for the dog
and offered a liberal reward for such in-
formation as would lead to his recovery.
Since then he has been deluged with let-
ters and post cards informing him of the
whereabouts of a canine answering ex-
actly to the description of the lost one.
In response to these missives he has
traveled a good many miles, but on each
trip was destined to meet with disap-
pointment. However, in response to
the earnest solicitations of the harbor -
era, he took home a couple of these
strayed animals in the hope that one at
least of them would in some measure
supply the place of the lost one. The
first one he got was a very likely -looking
animal and recommended at a splendid
cattle dog. After petting him up for a
day or two, he thought he would try
what he was made of, and accordingly
took him to the field and set him to hunt
the cows. Although evidently green at
the business be shaped pretty well at
first, but one old 'bovine, more cour-
ageous than the others, came up and
commenced smelling aroundhis dogship,
who, instead of asserting his rights,
slunk into a fence corner, evidently anx-
ious to get out of harm's way. The cow
made a second claarge at him, and rais-
ing him on her horns hurled him through
a barbed wire fence. Mr. Dog, not rel-
ishing this sort of sport, picked himself
up and made off as fast as possible, and
has not been seen in the neighborhood
since. The second dog is apparently
made of better stuff and is shaping more
like a dog should, but his new owner is
afraid he will never take the place of the
lost one, and he would be willing to
trade him with the person who is har-
boring his own,at a moment's notice and
ask no questions. Mr. Cresswell fears
there were too many Grits at Hensall on
nomination. day, and that the dog, hav-
ing been brought up a good Tory, and
not being very well versed in the ways
of the world, felt eo bad over the drubb-
ing that the Arch Bishop gave the Young
Toronto Lawyer, that he went off in dis-
gust an committed suicide.
AGAIN VICTORIOUS.—The Seaforth
Fire Brigade went to Toronto on Thurs-
day of last week to compete in the Hose
Reel race in that city, and as usual came
out victorious. The following are the
companies which competed and the time
made by each :
Seaforth 50 secs.
Caledonia 60 1-6 "
Little York 51 "
Trenton 51 3-6 "
Richmond Hill .. 51 1- "
Oshawa 53 1-5 "
East Toronto 55 "
There were three prizes offered, $125
to first, $75 to second, and $25 to third.
As appears in the above table, Seaforth,
Caledonia, and Little York are the win-
ners of first, second and third prizes re-
spectively. Unfortunately, however, a
protest was allowed against the Seaforth
Company which may throw them out of
the money. It seems that the rules re-
quired all competing companies to take
part in the Firemen's procession held
before the contest. The procession
etatted before the train on which the
Seaforth boys were arrived in the city.
As soon as they landed, however, they
went in quest of the procession and
joined in it as soon as they could and
were even more fatigued than if they
had been in the procession all the time.
Because they were not in the procession
when it started a protest Was lodged
against both the Seaforth and Caledonia
Brigades, and the protest was allowed
by the judges. Mr. Murray, however,
Chief of the Seaforth team, made out a
statement of the whole facts and
will have it presented to the Carnival
Council, and it is hoped they will do
justice in the premises. The entering of
the protest does not detract any-
thing from the credit of the victory
won by the Seaforth team, only they
would have come home better pleased if
they had the money, which they fairly
earned, in their pockets.—In connection
with the very creditable record made by
the Seaforth team at the Galt Carnival,
the Monetary Times makes the follow -
correction.: "To say, as was done last
week, thatSeaforth fire brigade won the
third prize at the Galt Carnival, and to
omit to say that it won anything more,
was an unintentional slight to that live-
ly organization, and we, very much re-
gret it. The Seaforth boys won two
first prizes and a third prize on that
occasion, and thereby maintained to the -
full their reputation for being one of
the liveliest fire -fighting brigades in
America."
CREAMERY Bueenn.—Last week Mr.
John Hannah, of the Seaforth, Londes•
boro, Kirkton and Goderich creameries,
shipped from here 523 tubs of butter and
195 cheeses. The shipment was made
to Edinburgh, Scotland. The cheese
were made at the Kinburn and Blake
factories. This shipment of butter
clears out all of Mr. Hannah's make un-
til the 1st of July. The entire shipment
amounts to about • $7,000, of which
$5,800 is for butter, and represents the
make of the creameries for about three
weeks. This will afford our readers
some idea of the vast importance of the
dairyingindustry to our farmers. Here
is the very considerable sum of $7,000
paid out in this immediate vicinity by
one dealer for the products of the dairy,
for the out -put of about three weeks.
If our farmers would only devote to
dairying, an industry for which our
country is admirably adapted, the at-
tention it deserves, they would soon be
entirely independent of fall wheat and
would hove established in its stead an
industry which would be more profitable
and vastly surer. We are glad to learn,
however, that the farmers of this vicin-
ity are now corning to appreciate the
benefits of the creamery. Hitherto, Mr.
Hannah has had to solicit, and some-
times almost beg patronage, but this
year patrous are coming to him and
asking him to send for their cresm. This
is as it should be, and it indicates a new
era in the creamery business. Dairying
and stock raising is what our farmers
must depend upon, and the sooner they
come to it the better. Many are begin-
ning to realize this and are shaping their
course accotdingly, but it takes time to
make the change, and we are glad to
notice that it is being made -gradually
but surely.

bytery held a regular meeting in the

in this vicinity and as Mr. MeMann
buys nothing but the best, we May
place their value at an average of $150
each. At this rate he has distributed

SOCIAL AND PRESENTATION. -0a Fri-
day evening last a strawberry festival
was held in this place. It was intend-
ed to hold it in the open air, but owing
to the coolness of the atmosphere in the
evening, the tables were arranged in the
Temperance Hall. The popularity of
the object of the gathering drew to-
gether a very large number of the peoPle
of this community. Too much cannot
be said of the very fine and sumptuous
repast that had been prepared by the
ladies, and which was enjoyed by one
and all to the acme of joyous festivity.
The strewberries were delicious; the
spread ample; the waiters par excellence,
and none but the most fastidious °mild
fail to be charmed and delighted with
the excellent inenu. The inner man be-
ing satisfied all repaired to the church
where the literary part of the programme
-was carried out. The chair was occupi-
ed by Rev. Mr. Ferguson, who at the
close of the programme consisting of
speeches, readings, recitations and vocal
music, called upon Mr. Robt. Coates to
read the following address which be-
speaks the object of the gathering:
To Miss IDA BRITION,—DMAR FILISND:—The
manner in which you have discharged the duties
of organist in the Methodist Church of this
place for the past two years is Our reason for
thus addressing you this evening. The constan-
cy and attention with which you have discharg-
ed the onerous and arduous duties associated
with the work, have won our appreciation and
esteem. You have spared neither time, trouble
nor self in enhancing, perfecting and raising to
:
a high order of merit the musical section Of our
church services. To me it is rim* discernible
that our own talent and culture have aided in
ne small degree your indefatigable labors in at-
taining the goal above mentioned. Therefore,
dear friend, we be your indulgence in permitting
us to offer a tangible appreciation of your ser-
vices by presenting you with this gold watch as
a token of the very high esteem in which we
hold, yourself and work. That Almighty God
may see fit in His providence to long spare you
to conduct and assist in His songs of praise
whether in this or in some other part of His
vineyard is our most heartfelt and expressive
wish and desire.
After the reading of the above address
Rev. Mr. Ferguson called upon Mr.
John Britton, Warden of the county of
Huron, to reply on behalf of hie daugh-
ter who was the recipient of the above
presentation. In a few well chosen
remarks Mr. Britton, in a most felicit-
ous and happy manner,thanked the giv-
ers for the handsome gift given in ap-
preciation of Miss Britton's work.

STATUTE LABOR.—DEAR a
pathmaster exempt from statute labor?
Has a pathrnaster the power to say who
shall, or who shall not, perform statute
labor? thereby enabling them to favor
brothers-in-law. Has a pathmaster the
right to fix the amount of labor to be
performed by any ratepayer? Could
all these questions be truthfully answer-
ed in the affirmative, then the labor was
faithfully performed on the 8th and 9th
concessions between lots 7 and 10. On
the other hand, if negatively, then there
was a downright swindle of the labor
act and a neglect of duty to our sover-
eign, the Queen.—Yours, &c., Fuel,
TIME.
