It was much needed for the root crops, as it was the first rain for some weeks and the ground was hard and dry. One farmer was a loser by it, however. He was John McClinc- key, who lives about four miles west of Blyth. His barn was struck 'by lightning and destroyed in the after- noon. The loss is more severe in that he had two teams hustling in the grain before the storm came, so that now his whole crop is destroyed. CHISELHURST Death of William J. McLean. -It is with sorrow we have this week to ,record the death of William, the third son of MF. and Mrs. John McLean, of the lith Concession of Tuckersmith, which sad event took place at the home of his parents here, after only a few days' illness.

On this the occasion of your parting with us, we are reminded of the pleasant and profitable spiritual relationship that so happily exists be- tween us, during the years of your sojourn here, and we take the ad- vantage of this occasion to tell you, if mere words can give expression to the depths of our feelings, that we remember to -day and will always re- member your many acts of devotion in our behalf, the many weary hours spent for our soul's sake, and the many sacrifices cheerfully made that we might the better struggle on to- ward the Beacon Light held aloft for our guidance, by yourself and our beloved pastor, Rev.

Football. -The Stratford Beacon gives the following account of the unfinished game played in Stratford on Saturday afternoon last: "Kin - burn and Stratford W. F. A. elevens made an unsuccessful attempt to play their game on Saturday after- noon against most unfavorable wea- ther conditions. After playing about twenty-five minutes,. the referee call- ed a halt with the score standing 1-0 in Stratford's favor. At the outset, it was doubtful as to whether Referee Kelly would start the game. How- ever it was decided to make a start at 4.30. L. Rose lost the toss and D. Borthwick kicked off for Stratford who at once •made tracks for the Kinhurn goal and the ball hovered in the vicinity of Hawthorne. Splen- did dealing out work by D. Borthwick ended in Sloan sending across a beautiful pass and Andrew Fisher, with the assistance of the goalkeeper and goal post, hanged home number one for Stratford in the first four minutes. Kinburn were in no way downhearted at this and by strong work on the left wing enabled Dun- das to send in a great drive to Ken Murray, who, although saving well, dropped the greasy ball in the goal mouth, which was eventually cleared by Aitcheson. By the strong play of Govenlock, Kinburn continued to keep up the pressure and Ken Murray had to save at full `length. By holding on to the hall ab`'the risk of being kicked, he conceded a corner which was cleared by' Brookshaw. The slippery nature of the ground caused a good deal 'of miskieking on either side and a hard drive by D. -Bondi•, wick was nearly converted by thael''. left back of Kinburn. The referee ' then called the game. The teams:--- Kinburn-Hawthorne, F. Armstrong and Dobbs, Stevenson, Govenlock and Taylor, W. and T. Dundas, Dale, Jim Armstrong and Jack Armstaong, Stratford -,-Murray, Aitchesen and Brookshaw, C. Clapison, Rohe, Bail Sloan, W. Borthwlck, A. Fisher and Barclay. Referee -Kelly. 1 ��
