Doyle of the Park House have returned from Sault Ste Marie. Mrs. McBride of Blyth who is in town is the guest of., -;.her relative, Mrs. Geo. Olds, West s"troet.

Vegetation in this neighborhood• is•more• advanced than it has been at a corresponding date for many years. Mr. Joseph Goldthorpe is build- ing a commodious store in Saltford on the lot until recently occupied by the blacksmith shop. So far this season has been the best for many years for our masons, bricklayers, carpenters and paint- ers. The regular meeting of Knox Church Mission Band was held in the church lecture room on Satur- day afternoon. Mrs. F. H. Spence of Niagara Falls, who is in town on a visit, is at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Henry Marlton. Mr. and Mrs. Shipley and family of Toronto arrived last week on their usual summer visit to the circular town. Mr. and Mrs. Kiely and family of the Queen city arrived last week. It is reported that the family will make a long stay in the circular town. The derrick, in use by the con- tractor for the .poet office building, fell last Thursday morning. For- tunately no personal injury was caused by the mishap. McLean's block is rising with extraordinary speed. The push and goaheaditivenoss of the owner is worthy of imitation by other moneyed men. Most of the schools will be closed the balance of the week on account of the Teachers' Convention to -day and tq•mor•row at Exeter, and Fri- day being the Queen's Birthday. Signor Giovanni gave entertain- ments in the Grand on Thursday Friday and Saturday. The program- me though good -was only fairly pat- ronized, the hot weather being much against a crowed house. The members of the Committee in this town are working energeti- cally to maks the meeting of the Orange Sovereign Grand Lodge next week a most pleasant one for the delegates that will be in attend- ance. James Hood was brought before his worship Mayor Butler on Mon- day afternoon, charged with stealing a pair of horse boots, the property of Mr. Jonathan Miller, of the Albion hotel.

Dickenson, barrister, of Wingham, was in town this week. The Provincial Treasurer, Col. the Hon. A. M. Ross, was in town this week. / The mid-mouthly meeting of the town council was held on Friday evening. Mr. Wm. Naftel, druggist, of Toronto, was visiting relatives in town this week. During the past few days the Salvation Army has had excellent cornet playing at its public parades. Messrs. H. Butler and John L. McLeod, of Kincardine, were in the circular town ou Sunday. The Methodist church at Ben - miller will be re -opened next S_un• day, the repairs that have been in progress some time being now com- pleted. Sermons will be preached at 10 a.m. and 7 p.nr. by Miss S. J. Williams, and at 2 p.m. by the Rev. T. C. Sanderson, a ono -Lime pastor of the church. Mr. E. McCann, of the Goderich woolen mills, has given possession of hie premises to Messrs. J. Dickson & Son, of Port Hope. Mr. McCann, who while conducting the business, proved himself an export in woolen manufactures, assures us that the members of the new firm. are profi- cient,in every branch of the woolen business. Mr. McCann, who will remain in Goderich for some months, hopes all his old customers and many new ones will still 'patronize the new firm. The Si(/nal-Slar is now before the public. As to whether it will have a Signal effect iu Star-ing the town the public has yet to find out. There can be no doubt about the printing, it is fairly comrnendable; we wish al.e could say the same of the cuts that decorate its pages. Not only are such establishments as the' Big Mill ignored, but such residen- ces as those .of J. T. Garrow are missing, while places of infinitely loss importance, and oven cuts of individuals, are prominently dis- plaryia. That there is considerable abd yt. the.'towq as 'a summer resort ansa manufacturing centre is qnite true, but unfortunately very little of it is original, and even then its effect is marred by a profuse display of individual business puffs. If the largo number of business notices had boon omitted and the routes and distances to Goderich from American and Canadian cities in- serted in their place, the illustrated Signal Star would have been rnuch improved: As it is, with its large number of advertisements, it cannot be fairly called a journal for adver- tising the town as a summer resort, or advancing its prospects as a pan• ufacturing centre.

Prof. Aarinkson, our well known musician, will give a concert iu the Grand next 'Tuesday evening, on which occasion he will be assisted by the very best musical talent in the Dominion. • Mr. Jno. Craig who had been suffering from a serious illness for many weeks, died at the residence of bis son William on Sunday evening. The deceased gentleman was one of our old inhabitants ha having been a resident of the town for a period of forty three years. His death therefore makes another break in the chain that binds the present generation to the past one. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon froin the Huron Hotel. The remains were interred in Mait- land cemetery, a very large number of relatives,friends and old acquaint- ances being present. The late Mr. Jno.

ORANGE.—Several of the brethren were •advanced to the Royal Scarlet Order last week. The local lodge, 1035, is pr'osper'ing and increasing in membership. .The lecture on " Orangeism " some time ago by our worthy Bro. Todd opened the eyes of many who now know the very liberal principles of our Order. There is some talk of inviting Bro. Todd horn swain, and a bumper house awaits hinr if ho will come and speak ou Orangeisni. Poi (n orrastlll<ndanre 'Myth. Holy Communion iu Trinity church on Sunday morning next. Our woollen mill is being fitted up iu readiness for a big season's work. Port Albert. John McBride has gone to Ish- penning, Mich. to reside with his brother Archy. Thomas Boland died last week and was buried at Kingbridge. He was a native of the County Tyrone, Ireland, and resided in this neigh- bor•hood during the past forty years. Tom was a good natured easy, going sort of, a fellow and it took a pretty good man to handle him in hi t. young days. He was not marrio George A. Green who put in a mouth "before the mast," on the Schooner 'Collage ie home again. They were caught iu a squall over near Sand Beach and when Geo. was aloft taking a double reef in fore topsails he says the darn things gave way and he, topsails and the whole cabbodol,wont into the lake, while hail stones the size of goose eggs were coining down to hoot. Geo. thinks landlubber business is the safest yet. I understand Goo. Irwin who keeps Black's hotel in Dungannon has rented his blacksmithshop in this village. Tho stand is a good one and I have every reason to believe if Ed. Gaanger who had it rented last winter had a little more patience he would have worked himself into a good business, in fact if Ned had the pluck his father has he would be making money here how, but 'tis not often we meet with such goahead men as Wnilliarn Granger of Hullett. According to latest reports fiom Helena, Montana, Gabriel Dumont is over there agitating the half- breeds to another raid on the Northwest. Our government made a big mistake• in pardoning that notorious rebel and they will have trouble with him yet. Of the two Dumont was deeper in the late rebellion than Itoil and a man of dangerous character, and he should be put into limbo the first move he makes. Canada has not got another two millions to throw away on such cusses as those fellows. String them up, the sooner the better. James Mahaffy is back from Port Arthur. He has a cargo of No. 1 hard Manitoba wheat for his mills at this place on the way. IIe will be obliged to gun it to Goderich and there wheel it up to his mills by the road. One week's dredging would put this harbor in a shape that most any boast could load or unload and save all this extra trouble and expense.—I notice railway agitation is again looming t Goderich and the circular Court of Revision is to be held on Monday next in Industry hall at 10 a. m. Messrs McKinnon and Powell shipped seven car loads of barley from this station to Buffalo this week. Rev. II. A.

Thomas and his lady before allowing them to take their farewell from amongst them. Mr. R. Irwin is having his re- sidence on Dinsley St. renovated with a fresh coat of paint this week. The work being in the hands of our painter and house . decorator Mr. John Howard it will no doubt bo well done. On Saturday afternoon the young- est child of Mr. Michael Boyd got ono of its hands severely lacerated with a saw while its brother was sawing wood. Five stitches had to be put in its little hand by the physician. This burr had a busy ap;‘earance ou Saturday night the people's attention being drawn to the window of F. Metcalf's jewellery store whore the two handsome silver trowels for laying the corner stone of the Methodist church were .on exhibition. • Queen's Birthday on Friday is to be observed here as a general holi- day the principal attraction is the ceremony of laying the cor•uer stone of the new Methodist church which is to be so grand an affair that those who have never seen the like should not fail to attend. A supper has been gotten up by the ladies of the congregation in connection with the above which is to be held 'in Kelly's brick block. In the even- ing addresses will bo given in Industry hall by the Rev gentle- men invited, interspersed with some choice music by the excellent choir of tho church. Admission to both 25 cents.

On Saturday evening Mr. James Davies mot with rather a serious accident, which will no doubt lay slim up for sometime, through the caving in of the hole for the tank on Morris St. The mon were working late for the purpose of getting the tank in before leaving it there being a considerable amount of quicksand. This caved in cover- ing ono of Mr. Davies lege so that it was impossible for hila to extri- cate himself. He was, however, dug out by his fellow workmen when it was found that the limb was seriously injured. He was taken home and medical aid called in when' it was found that his knee was out of joint. We hope SOOn to hear that Jim will be none the worse of the accident. up a , town is about to recover their charter for the Wingham and Goderich branch.—The Star says "Goderich must have both of those roads running into there and then our future is made."

Nature has robed herself in green and every- thing is blodming. It is rumored that a Baso Ball match is to take place here on the 24th inst, between the Cransford Blazers and the Stars of Dungan- non. The meeting for the discussion of the Jesuits Estates Bill was well attended but not being present my- self I cannot give you auy account of the proceedings. Mr. Arthur Anderson and Mr Simon Pentland _Kilo were attend- ing college have returned home. Both young .area are looking well and we wish them a pleasant holi- day. Mr. Peter Cook, vet. student, paid a visit to Goderich Township last week. Some of the young ladies down there must have a hold -worth something on Peter, he is so fond of going South. There was quite a trotting match here last week between Mr. Irwiu's brown .geldiug by Caledonian Chief and Mr. Higginbottom's black filly by Royal Revenge, d.,n Clear Grit. Mr. Irwin's geldiug won in 3 straight heats, but the judges think that with a little training, the filly will come to the front, as she is two years younger than Chief. Mr. David McDonald of Ashfield owns a bovine that gave hits quite a surprise. Dave had bought the cow and on getting her borne he tied her up in a stall. The cow in some way got tangled in the rope and when Dave came to look at her she was to all appearance dead, the rope having completely shut off her wind. A team of horses were brought, a chain fastened to the cow and she was hauled out to the bone yard. Imagine Dave's sur- prise to see his dead cow come walking into the yard. She caught her wind again. Mr. Smith of this village owns a bay mare that is quite a runner. On Thursday of last week Mr. Smith and daughter wore starting off for a drive and just as bo left his own, gate some straps became loose and the gait the mare started off at it was something grand. On reaching the corner at Martin's Hotel she headed northward and Mr. Smith very cooly kept hor on the straight road and in a very few minutes horse and buggy had dis- appeared over Glen's hill. Down the hill she wont at a tremendous pace, skimming along like a bird and throwing off throe of her shoes to lighten her flight. After run- ning a distauce of five miles her feet became so sore on the hard gravel that Mr. Smith succeeded in bringing her to a standstill, a short distance from Belfast. Tho occu- pants of the rig wore unhurt but very much frightened. The mare's hocks were badly bruised from coming in contact with the cross bars of the shafts. Mr. Smith believes that if his mare had not thrown her shoes she would not have stopped this side of Lucknow. %orltt (5orreopolutente. Goderich Township A certain young roan of the front • road spends a good dielt1 of his time on the fifth concession, Stan- ley. Messrs J. Burton- of Stapleton and Carroll of Biddulph were last week thegnests of Mr. T. It. Jowett, Bayfield. Mr. James Beacom had a number of sheep worried by dogs one night last week and two of them have since died. A Mr. Pennington, formerly of the Huron Road, near Goderich, has rented Mr. Jowetts farm for a term of five years. u_ I saw a fly sheet issued in Exeter containing a bogus Stanley letter giving a pretended history of THE NEWS -RECORD and its publishers. Goderieh township is just the place for such literature. Most of us have known the senior . publisher all our lives and the junior one for eight or nine year's and can value sneak writers who slander them at their true estimate. For mysolf I have taken THE NEWS -RECORD for 8 or 9 years and hope you will always give us your views as intelligently, fearlessly and independently as you have done. It is the only paper in the county that I am acquainted with that has consistently and persist- ently contended for civil and religi- ous • olf.gious' liberty and supported the altar and the throne as the bulwarks of our constitution. Benmiller. At the quarterly meeting in the Methodist church at Bethel a large congregation was present and Rev. James Kestle was the preacher. The late Albert Maedel of this place died suddenly after a slight illness of about a week. His re- mains were :interred in Colborne cemetery when the Rev.

Clegg shipped several carloads of grain from this station last week, why does not some enter- prising man start a grist mill here?
