The Labor Gazette for July meleethe fol- - lowing complimentary reference t it former ; Seaforthite, who is now a resident of Toron- to, and a son of Mr, Robert 'PoWe'l, of this town. It says: " Mr. Willie ' Powell, the recently; installed presidee of the Typographical Union, No. pi, d livered a thoughtful inaugural address on assuming office, calling attention th some abuses in the trade. He recommended the adoption of a . system of apprenticeship oards and more stringent regulations as bo i the con. tracts under whioh apprentices are engaged. He suggested the establishment 'of an out - of -work fund for,the benefit of unemployed 1 members of the union.'"

The hist survey. of Lake Huro was made 60 years ago, when' the vessels o the inland waters did not drave more tha 12 feet of water. It wee done very hurried lv, and the soundings were neither nume ous nor complete. Next season a (Jury° of Lake Superior will be undertaken if th Government will provide a new steamer the Bayfield being too old and unseaworth for such a etormy sheet of water." Thi survey boat- has been operating betwee Bayfield and Grand Bend the most of thi season. • , SMASH UP AT THE ELECTRIC' LIGHT STA TION.—About ten o'clock Sunday evening • Berious smaeh up oceerred at the electri light station. • While running tif full epee a break warred in one of the large enginee Apparently something Zigot betwein th piston and the cylinderhead; which wa smashed out ; then thel cross leread brok and pieces of metal went flying generally Mr. Alex. McKay, the eegineee, was stand ing near the engine at fi he tithe and en deavored to get Us it to shut offi the steam but it was coming out in sucheolumes and with such intense heat that he; had to re treat. He then made for the boiler rocm, but was unable, on account of the darknese and the steam, to find the dOor. After groping around -on his hands and krises for a while, he found the wall and followed that till he came to a door. It was then necessary for him to climb to the top of the boiler, and in that way shut off ehe steam. Fortunately Mr, IVIcleay Was the only per- son around the building at the time, or Some person. would have undoubted/y been seriously injured. The engine was pretty badly damaged, but the company, fortunately, have e second engine which was pressedinto eervice, and the light was again in use Monday night. The report of the smash and escaping steam were plainly heard in different parte of the town. • at, es 0.. e'd me 11, Y., he nd' 0- 0, n• 0 - he 88 • n, r. r• Y- • • • , FAMILv GATIIERrNOS.—There wa 1 an in- teresting family gathering at the re idenoe ot Mr, George MeIntosh, McKillop; qn Sun- day last. • Mr. McIntosh's whole amily, coneisting of seven sons with their wives and families, and two daughters, °nue- gated in the old home on that day an made a happy gathering. , They are as 1 'lows: Hugh and James, of London ;• Dr. (eorge, ofCattaraguesNew York ; Rev.

I —There was also a very pleasant family re. union at the residence of Mr. Robert Scott. Harpurhey, on Saturday last,this being the family homestead of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott. All the members of the family with their wives, husbands and children took dinner there with the aged couple in com- memoration of the sixty-fifth annivereary of their marriage. The metribers of the family present, were, Dr. J.

Mr. II Scott ;s now 90 years of age and Mr. Scott is 82 and there were' none at this I asant gathering who were brighter and mor eheer- ful or who seemed to enjoy the o easion more thoroughly. Both, despite th ir ad- vanced years, are still quite sma l and but for the partial failure of Mr. cotes eyesight, throueh cataract, they ha few ailments and gee around as actively a many thirty' years younger. • • HE DOEsN'T GONE FROM SEAFORTI1 The St, Marys Journal gives the followii) de- scription of the manner in which a num er of the good wives of the stone town ha s+ been victimized out of portions of their pin n oney by an individual who is said to have come from either Seaforth or Goderich. We know of no such person who has lived in Seaforth, so we must giveeGoderich all the credit. The journal sive : The West Ward has been " touched" not in a Senti- mental, but in a financial -way. It Wale no confidence man, bunco steerer, flim-fleremer or other gtaduate of the wicked ways of the underworld, who "worked" the west Ward.' ers. The man who did the trick is a' mender of pot, pans and teakettles, in other words a travelling tinker. His name is Haskett and he came to town last spring from Seaforth or Goderieh. There were some leaky kettles and " ease -pans" in, the west ward and Haskest seems to have got . pretty well acquainted with their owners, He was quite busy for -some time, but the job didn't last. It could hardly be eXpeetad to. But Haskett wasn't through with the west ward. Oh, no. In his peregrinations about the vine-olad, cottages and holleyhock embowered homes of that part of St. Marys, he discovered that the people were trustful and confiding. He wanted trust. Here then, was his field, and he at once pro- oeede to work it. This is how he did it. The o her day a lady who lives on Ontario street heard a rap at her kitchen door. Mr. Hask te stood there apparently out ,ot breat . e He'd been walking fast. "Oh, say m 'am," said the tinker with an effort, "Pm uying a load of wood from a fanner who as driving down town. I've been buyin it at the woodyard, but that's t o costly ; The load is $5.25 and I only ha e $5 with me. Lend me a quarter and '11 bring t baok to -morrow. My wife'* i aw y on a v sit to Toronto or I'd tell the farmer o get th money from her at the house. Hes- kett gat the quarter, but the to -morrow spoke of hasn't arrived yet. The lady ha $. pened to mention the circumstance to some of her neighbors and it came out that the lend- e•a•quarter•till-toonerrow scheme hi.d been orked all over the ward. TEA ,ITERS ENCAOED.—The Collegiate Ie. stitut board have succeeded in completing the t aching staff for the coming term. Mr. H W. Brown, of Petrolea, has been engag d for modern languages and Euglish ; G. F. Coiling, Caledenia, mathematics, and Mies Linnie M. Scratch, of Cannington, kr commercial department..

We have full confidence, there- fore, that the high reputation gained by our Collegiate will be fully maintained under the re- rganized staff. ' •• • RAD A:L ELECTRIC RAILWAY FOR HURON. —App ication will • be Made at the next session of the Ontario Legit-leture for the incorp ration of a radial electric railway comp% y. The company proposes to con- struct and operate an electric railway system whioh will give direct nonneotion betwee many points in the county which have ow only indirect or inadequate oom• munica ion one with the other. The pro• posed line will run from Goderich to Dunlop, Carlow, Dungannon and Luoknow ; thence o Wingham, Brunels and Seaforth; thence through Brucefield and Verna to Bayfiel , and. from Bayfield to Goderioh, making ,a ceunty belt line. There will be a branch line from Carlow east to Auburn and BI th, and another from a point on the souther portion of the belt line between the vi lages of Bayfield and lino, throng!. the townships of Stanley, Hay and Seephe , to a point on the Grand Trunk Reilwe • Another line will run from Dunlop north through the townships of Colborn and Ashfield, and up the lake shore t Kincardine, Port Elgin and South- . -ampton and thence to a point on the Georgia Bay, connecting with the Mani- toulin a d North Shore Railway. The pro - motors claim • that capital for the under- taking ill be available as soon as it is made a parent that the people of the county are in f vor of such a road and that the municip lities concerned aro willing to give ( moderate enc,ouragement to the enterprise. t Steps w I be taken immediately to meet the repreee tatives of the inunicepalities for the purpose of 'enuring eights of way, and it is intende that operations shall be com- menced at an early date for the rapid 1 conetru tion of the road. In meny parts of I the pro lime electric roads are being oper- y ated, w th are:sues, . between the different teiens, nd in a wealthy and populous county ike Huron, we see no reason why L similar means • of oommunication be. v tween e different towns and villages a could no be operated on a payiug basis. - h Electrio railways of this nature would un- w doubted I prove a benefit to the towns, in and 'at ehe same time would provide the h farmers With a rapid and convenient means S of getti g their produce to market. In t many pa ts of the county they could also t be used for conveying the mails; where a stages ni have to be used. The greatest t drawbac , we think, would be the great S depth of now in winter time, but this could f undoubt ly be overcome. • 9 Mr. Porter was a Sootchman by birth, and atill retained a etrong Scottish went. Ho was in every sense of the term a self made man. ,He was an ardent student and was well posted on current questions. Added to his exteneive knowledge of publie affairs he was gifted as a public epeaker, being fluent, logical and eloquent, In fact he had few superior' on the public platform. Mr. Cameron, his old antagonist, frequently ad- - mitted that Mr. Porter was one of the hardest men he ever had to fight against. In private life he.was genial and compan- ionable, while his immense fund of general information made him a most entertaining associate. His 'departure is another re- minder of the fleeting of time, and that the old things are passing away and a new gen. eration is rapidly ooming to the front. fie leaves behind a large circle of old friends throughout the county, in both political parties, who will long remember his many good qualities of both head and heart, and who will deeply regret his sudden removal from his sphere of usefulness here., He leaves a widow and several of a family. -• LOCAL BRIEFS,—Ne appeals have been entered againet the voters' list of the town- ship of MoKillop.
