Mrreneee Wies.4—Our la.crosse team
went to Mitch.ell on Thutsday of last week,
civic holiday, to compete with the team of
that town in the final match for the cham-
pionship, but were defeated by a score of
three goals to two: The game throughoht
was a moat hotly contested one,and at times
!verged into roughness. The lack of any -
piing to prevent the spectators from crowd-
ing on the grounds was the cause of some
unpleasantness, and at times might have en-
gulfed both players and spectators- in a free
-fight. Had Seaforth won, or had the score
been a draw, Seaforth would then have been
champions, but as it now stands the teams
are a tie for first place, and they will again
have to meet to decide who shall wear the
crown until next season.
•
HURONITES IN" NORTH GREY.—The racey
c?irespondent of the Toronto Telegram, in
his campaign notes from North Grey, makes
the following referen les to a couple of
Huronites. He says : " David Weismiller
is working among the German people of the !
constituency whom he addresses in the
laneuage of the Fatherland. Some one
askr'ed Mr. Weismiller a day or two ago if
he were talking Dutch to his audienc es,
whereat he became wrathy, and said he
talked goad, respectable German. The
Liberals have likewise a German speaker,
and his v,-ork is on the trail of Mr. Weis-
millen—Judge Masson, of Huron county,
came into Owen Sound, but it is hardly
probable that he will take any part in the
caMpaign. In the constituency of North
Grey he is an unpopular man. He voted
for the Remedial bill, and by securing a
judgeship robbed the electors of what they
would have made at the general electiolas
their just and lawful prey."
•
A CANADIAN' WINS IN SCOTLAND.—Th
Big_ af Allan Highla.nd gathering, the oldes
and moSt important a the Scottish gather
hags, was held this year on the 1st of Aug
ust, and had only one Canadian competitor
Gideon Perrie, of Grey. The attendanc
was enornious. The entries for the many
athletic and other events were unusually
large, the aspirants for the prize money
corning from all parts of the country, wrest
lers from Westmoreland, Cumberland and
border lands, brawny Highland athletes
from Aberdeenshire and the Rob Roy coun
try, Highland dancers and. pipers from the
hills and glens of ...Argyleshire, with pede-
strains from east, west and south of Scot-
land. Perrie was beaten at throwing the
heavy hainmer by Alexander McCulloch,
Oban, who threw 86 feet 3 inches, Johnston
throwing 86 feet. In the light hammer,
Perrie won with 106 feet 6 inches, McCul-
loch being second with 106 feet 2 inehes.
The Canadian again carried off the heavy
ail, _a pounds, wIth a put of 33 feet 9
inches, and the light ball, 16 °pounds, with
39 feet 6 inches.

daughter, Queenie, who has just passed her

oome to stay, these terrible explosions of
electricity having cleared the air, and it 's a
subject for congratulation that E0 tle
damage has been done to life and prop rty
in this vicinity. That old reliable insure ce
company, the McKillop Mutual, which a,s

hill. There he exchanged horses and ap-
parently started on a trip to his friends in
the north. He passed through Seaforth on
his way, stopping at the Royal hotel, but
he forgot to settle his bill. In the mean-
time the Forest man began to get anxious
about his horse,and had a Warrant issued for
the young man's arrest. The fellow arrived
here on Sunday morning again, apparently
on his way back, and on being identified he
was arrested by constable Gillespie and
placed in the lock-up, where he wee allowed
to languish end ruminate until Monthly

rived and made a satisfactory settlement

PERSON; L.—On Thursday of last week,
Mrs. W. eomerville, of this town, was sum-
moned to oronto on account of the serious
illness of er father: We regret to notice
that_ he ha since died. The many friends
of Mrs. Somerville here, will sympathize
with her on account of the severe affliction
which has befallen her. The Toronto News
of Monday makes the following reference to
the illness of an aunt of Mrs. Somerville
and the death a:d her father, the two perties
mentioned being brother and sister. The
News says : " Old tithers will regret the
serious illness of Mrs. IBugg, - 61 Grenville
street,. widow of the late MT. John Bugg,
and mother of Mrs. Robert Jaffrey and Mr.
Charles Bugg. Mrs. Bugg is now 84 years
old and the recent hot epell enfeebled her
very much. She has been- unconscious for
some days and recovery is not expected.
Mrs. Bugg has been a resident of Toronto
far 78 years,. ror nearly half a century she
resided on the site of the present isent
municipal buirdings near Queen and James
streets. It was in 1818 that she Commenced
her residence in that locality. An that
tinte and for yeers afterwards, the neighbor-
ing woods, reserved for the Indiana, came
down as far as Elm street, and many an in-
teresting etory she could tell of their doings
in these early times.—Josiah Purkiss, broth:
er of Mrs. Bugg, died this morning at the
residence of.his son, Mr. Fred P,urkiss, 42
Macpherson avenue. The late Mr. Purities
was one of the early settlers at Richmond
Hill, and for a large number of years he car-
ried on the business of a general store keep-
er in that village. Since his removal to this
city about 15 years ago, he has not been in
business owing to failing health. He leaves
a widow,who is prominently. connected with
the Woman's Christiari Temperance Union,
one son, who is employed by the Canadian
Pacific Railway, and two married daugh-
ters."
•
THE DOMINION BANK.—The Seaforth
agency of the Dominion bank has been re-
moved to its new home on the corner of
Main and Gouinlock streets. This property
was purchased by the bank early in the
spring. Since then they have had the
whole building thorougly over hauled, re-
modelled and repaired and it is now one of
the handsomest and most attractive busi-
ness houses in town. The outside has been
painted and otherwise improved in appear-
ance. Two large plate glass windows have
been placed in the front, and smaller plate
glass windows along the side which faces on
Gouinlock street. But neat and attractive
as the outside of the building is, the inside
is even rnoreso. The banking office is beauti-
fully fitted up with oak counters, desks and
railings, while the walls and ceilings are
tastefully papeted , and ornamented. The
vault, also, islarge and perfectly flre proof,
and we suppose, burglar proof also In
fact we have not seen in any of the cities 4
neater or more tastefully fitted up banking
office. It Is commodiounicomfortable, ligh
and airy and in every respect elegant,
1 while there is nothing gaudy or unbusiness
like. The whole establiehinent is credit-
able to th se who did the work of the
several d artments and to the local
manager o superintendel and directed
the improyements. Immed ately in rear
of the ban ing office and on the same flat,
with an en ranee on Gouinlock street, has
i.
been fitted p a very nice office tor Mr. R..
S. Hays, arrister, an solieitor for the
I
bank, and e expect th t Mr. Hays will
soon oceu his new qu rters. Along side
Mr. Hays' office, a very neat store has been
fitted up diich is now occupied by Messrs.
H. Jackso & Son. A couple of years ago
when the !Dominion agency loca,tdbi here, it
was fear d that there was not business
enough fo two chartered hanks and that its
stay here ould not be permanent. These
fears have been proven delusive, and the
Dominion is now one of ou'r permanent and
most pro perous institutions Its success
here is du no doubt, largely to the zeal
and tuba ity of Mr. Pearoe the genial
elocal manaker, and his equally worthy
assistants, with each one of whom it is
always a pleasure to do business,- and the
bank is to be congratulated on having sech
a strong etaff. The public generally will be
pleased with the evidences of prosperity
and enterprise which the Dominion is
putting forth, and will join with THE Ex-
nosrroit in wishing it continued prosperity,
as its success and enterprise are always
indietative of the increasing prosperity of
of the community in which it is doing
business.
