Wingham.•
Mrs Yates has returned from her
Goderich visit,
-Dr Chisholm was in Goderich three
days last week, as witness in a stab-
bing affray.
Rev Mr Moorehouse delivered a
very eloquent discourse, on Sunday,
from the words, "A new command -
4 went I give unto you, that ye love
one another."

in your Blyth correspondent a brother
Forester, as well as a brother scribe,
or he would not be so well posted in
that order, as he undoubtedly is.
AN ERROR. -We mentioned in a
previous issue that Mr Diamond had
rented Mr Korman's butcher shop,
. ---aut-Mr,Korman is. cu'n _it limed
in connection with his hotel.
FIGHT. -A fight took place at Bren-
nan's tannery, the other day, which
resulted in the flowing of blood.
hostilities, however, were stayed by
the strong arm of John Foster, who
bas by no means forgotten his early
military training. .
Goon RIDDANCE. - McKay, of
whom mention was made last week,
obtained bail, but has since skipped
from our midst. No sorrow is felt
for his departure, save that he escap-
ed the clutches of the law, which, for
such as he, is altogether too lenient.
A FACT. --The people of Wingham
are fond of good living, consequently
they have some real good cooks, nev-
ertheless another little lady cook was
imported to town last Saturday, who
will stay for a few years beneath the
instructions of Mrs A. Cook.
Music. -The National Trabado its
held a concert at the town hall, on
Tuesday night, under the auspices of
the town band. As the boys have
but lately re -organized, and are badly
in need of more cash, the patronage
should have been large, to the full
capacity of the hall.
NEVER SAY DIE. -Mr S. Fleuty,
formerly of the Advance office, is in
town paying, his uncle a visit. He
was one of the passengers on the ill-
fated Montreal this. fall, bound for
"merrie England," but his hopes (for
the time being) sank with the vessel:
Sam is 'not discouraged, however,
but says, all being well, he will take
his trip in the spring.
PRACTiSE Ie BETTER THAN PRE-
CEPT. -Mr G. Fowler, formerly in
the employ of P. W. Hayward, Clin-
ton, is now in .the employ of Mr W.
Holmes. George says he likes Wing -
ham, but we are of tho opinion that
he likes a certain young lady dwell-
ing within its borders very much bet•
ter, eh, George ? Anyway she is
worthy of our esteem. ,

about $276 a year. George says he
thinks he will spend the next year in
looking for a wife, but If he has not
already got the promise of a life lease

STRAIGHT To THE POINT. - Rev
'Mr Scott preached a regular practical
temperance sermon, on Sunday even-
ingwords,ordrunk-
t
ard186s shfrom shall
Nall enter the kingdom of
Heaven." It was his firm belief that
this abominable treating habit caused
more drunkenness than any other
thing, and gave good illustrations to
demonstrate his assertion.
A PAINFUL OPERATION- - Mrs
Robert Mitchell, who of late ,has
been suffering a great deal with one
of her eyes, resolved to have it taken
out last Thursday. Dr Gardner, of
the Diamond Medicine Co., perform-
ed the operation. As her health
would not permit of her taking enough
drugs to deaden the pain, her strfler-
ings were very great. We are glad,
however, to state that she is doing as
well as could be expected.
MonTALITY.-The death of Mrs J.
Anderson, near Belgrave, was very
sudden, last week. She went to the
pump for water, and there expired.
Her eon, who is living in Wingham,
had the same day gine borne with a
wounded hand, and instead of having
a mother's care, had to weep over her
mortal" remains. Mrs Deans, of
Wingham, is a daughter of the de-
ceased, Mr Crowe, on Thursday last,
departed for his long last home, at
the age of seventy-six; in him there
departs from our midst another old
pioneer ; he was buried on Saturday,
in the R.C. cemetery at Teeswater.

FAILED. -One of the oldest and

Province has, after several years of
struggling, 'succumbed. Mr James
Pickard, merchant and miller at
Exeter, has aseigned to Mr Geo
Samwell, also of that .town. Mr
Pickard started business as a general
dealer. in the early days of Western
Ontario, and during latter years has
occupied a position of the foremost
importance in mercantile insterests
in the west. He gained the fullest
confidence of the farmers, bought
their grain and invested their money
for them. This is said to have been
an element of weakness in the end,
and contributed to his embarrassment,

• cote lee item by one of the senior pupils of
`;. S. No. 1,. btc❑ley.)
I had been standing here for many
years, and although 1 had been tossed
about many times by the wind, still
it never overcame me. The flowers
that grew around me had budded and
blossomed for many summers and as
often had faded and died' in the
autumn, 1 used to think I was ,the
first to' see the rosy light begin to
flame along the eastern sky but the
little birds were awake and filling the
air with their glad music just as soon.
After the days labor eras over and the
weary Workmen were on their way
home, 1 loved to watch' the golden
hues of the we -tiro sky al it shed
forth its beams nn every blade of
grass anti gilded the leaves that hung
on my' branches. The little stream
that runs near by me has been flowing
down the side of the hill as long as I
,•tri remember. Its waters have al -
n calm and peaceful in fair
hot when even a summer
r . .1 ' -lineup it whuld roll

be nestled on the
line grown into a
little church that
!Se the shade of my
,a destroyed and a
;,;r one now takes its place.
Jae weary travellers who had passed
by me so often had stopped after their
long day's journeyto rest beneath the
shade of my hrnnches, and the little
bird and s qui•rrel had always found a
home among my leaves. 1 have seen
people passing and re -passing who
have been, many years ago, laid in
their r;ilent graves. When night
came on I loved to watch the stars as
they shone like diamonds in the
heavens, The tender blade of the
wheat had been lowly exchanged for
the golden harvest, and the wild
flowers lied hone 'nut their delicate
hlo,1,-ams and then scattered them to
