Arrangements are in pro- gress for the holding of a stock sale and will be announced shortly.

Fall wheat is coming on well. The late rains have been ex- ceedingly opportune. Frosts have been a nightly occurrence but have, not been heavy enough to do any damage. A larger average than usual of spring wheat bas been planted in this neighborhood. One person, -who required a large quantity informed us that he travelled over one hundred miles iu trying to ge enough peas for Geed.

LIBEi AtITY.—That doctors do a grew deal of work they get no pay for, is well-known among those who come much in contact with the pub- lic, though the idea prevails that doctors always get well remunerated for their services. The following, which we have reason to believe as true, shows the generosity of men supposed to be callous -hearted, and we dare say is not an exceptional cir- cumstance. Recently a person died in this vicinity, after a protracted ill- ness, leaving two daughters, both of whom are dependent on their labors for their livelihood. Calling on the doctor they asked for the bill, offering to pay part of it and saying the balance would be forthcom- ing when they earned it. When the medical man learned that the itauglhtera were paying the account out of their own earnings, he receipt - ed it in full and refused to take any- thing for his services. A PROMINENT DAKOTIAN.—HOO. T. M. Elliott, of Elliott, Dakota, so well know as a former resident of of Goderich township, was in town • on Monday, and dropped in to renew his subscription to the NEW ERA. He remarked that the peop:e of that State were injnothing nearthestraigh- tened circumstances that people in the east believed they were, and the "poverty agitation" was kept alive by the friends of the Louisanna State Lottery, who wanted to fix the lot- tery there and give the State a bonus ' of $200,000 in cash for the privilege. There were some who had not seed and would have to be supplied, but he did not believe that there was any .more real destitution in Northern Dakota than there appears to be in this neighborhood. Mr Elliott bad `just been to New York buying a lot of thoro-bred stock, and he was in high dudgeon because the Canadians would not allow him to bring the cattle through Canada. He could have entered them at Port Huron, but that did not answer, as it would 'have been convenient to enter them at the easterfl border of the Province instead of the western. His farm is just one mile and a quarter square. Ire says that "if the Republican don't 'reduce the tariff we'll make them do it. for, euntinued Mr Elliott, "we are Producers, and they can't protect us *ad We won't stand it." Being told that this was "Grit doctrine" he said 'ane didn't care what it was, for it WSW the truth,and if he was only book in this country for awhile, he'd open the eyed of some of the farmers who *reit badly blinded." ' no is looking VII, and has prospered wonderfully. y and Friday hen the follow• be presented:— J. Dearness, I. P. S. ;,esex; Division of Dec.

Grigg, of the Grigg house, London, was reported some- what easier last Tuesday night, al- though his condition is causing con- siderable anxiety to his numerous friends. Owing to the town hall being oc- cupied by the persons writing at the midsummer examinations, the Ath- letic Association has postponed their concert, which was to have been held on July 12th. Mr Henry Stevens, contractor, whose work is always of the best, has the contract of erecting a new house tor Mr R. J. Tuffs, of Belgrave. Mr Stevens will be sure to do hie work satisfactorily. • An order -in -council has been passed detaching the outport of Clinton from the survey of the port of Londcn, and placing it under the port of Goderich, to take effect from 1st of July next. Mr Robertson, son-in-law of Mr A. Knox, who was keeping hotel in Kinburn at the time it was burned out, bas taken up his residence here, as there was no likelihood of the hotel being rebuilt. Mr. J. Reith, who left here some time ago intending to settle in British Columbia, did not find the induce- ments as promising as he anticipated, He is at present working is Tacoma, Washington Territory. ARBOR DAY.—To•day is school Ardor Day, and will be duly observed by teachersand children. It is also the day appointed by Mayor Doherty for the town, and will doubtless be observed by the citizens generally. Mr James Beattie has been award- ed the contract for carrying the mails between the post office and station, his contract to date from the let of July. The only reason for the change is that his tender was the lowest. We understand cases are constantly turning up of people taking soil and sod off the streets, and parties driving with their carts and waggons on the grass sidewalk. They had better quit, or the inspector wiil be after them with a sharp stick. Mr Folland, poundkeeper, is al- ready on the war-path,and had several head of young cattle run in last week. With business -like promptitude he advertised them, and the owner, a farmer, came and redeemed them as soon as the paper was out. Messrs. Searle and Plummer, mem• hers of the Cemetery Committe, plant. ed over one hundred trees on Wed- nesday. Mr Searle states that the people can go on planting for several days, as the trees in the bush are not so far advanced as those in town. Mr. Ed. T. Holmes who has been spending the winter here, has gone back to farming operations in St Catharines. They say that:a young lady in town, who holds a prominent position, will some day give it up in order to have a Holmes for herself elsewhere. Mr J, Managhan, on the eve of his departure for Bay City, Mich., was tendered a complimentary supper at Mude's restaurant, by the Lacrosse Club, of which he was Vice President. Kind speeches were made by all pre- sent, who were unanimous in their good wishes for his prosperity. Mr. W. Herbison, of this place, and son, late of Mount Pleasant Creamery, have been engaged to take charge of a creamery at Qu' Appelle, W. T., and have also been em- powered to purchase the necessary machinery therefor, and take it up with them. They expect to leave this week. Local Church Qldrne$. Rev J, Edge lectured in Chatham last week, and4,alao in Westfield. The Biebop of Heron will hold cont enation services in St Paul's church, on the 13th of July. Mr Herman has been appointed sexton of St Paul's church, in place of Mr Carsla>pe, removed. and Mr Cooper, sexton off' Ratienbury Street church. Mr. James Young preached at Kippen on Sunday afternoon last. He does nearly as much pulpit work aa many ordained men, but gets con- siderably less for it—in this world. On Tuesday next the Mission Band of Rattenbury street church will hold its monthly meeting. Atter the usual business is disposed of, a splendid program will be rendered. All are invited to attend. On Sunday morning next, commen- cing at 10:30, Sacramental services will be held in both the Methodist churches of town. Rev Mr Living- stone will assist Rev Mr Edge in ad- ministering the sacrament of the' Lord's Supper, in the morning, and Mr Edge will assist Mr Livingstone in the evening. Rey. J. P. McEwan, Superintend - of Home Missions, occupied the pul- pit of the Baptist Church, here on bunday last. His sermon in the morning on the "Peace of Christ" was full of power and refinement. At the close of the evening service he adminstered the ordinance of Bap- tism to three young persons, before a large congregation. Messrs Mills and McDonald accom- panied by Mrs McDonald, who form a Life Boat Crew representing the Royal remplars, appeared in Ontar- io St church last (Thursday)'night and the Rattenbury St church to- night. Practical addresses, with good singing, in both of which they are all said to be adepts, constitutes the 'pro- gram. ST. PAUL'S S. C. ASSOCIATION.— The regular monthly meeting was held oa Wednesday evening. After the disposal of the business part, a very good paper on "Promotion" was read by Miss E. M. Doan. An inte- resting discussion followed, and r rangements were made in th e iree- tion of carrying out some of the eug- gestions. A commitye 'Was appoint- ed to select and yurchase hooka for the Library. , The PAii'hall was filled on Sunday afternoon last, on the occasion of a Sermon being preached to the Odd - fellows by the Rev W. McDonagh, of London. Music was furnished by the choir of Ontario St. Methodist church. In the evening he occupied his old pulpit, that of Rattenbury St Methodist Church, the building being packed from end to end. At the close of an able sermon, he was surrounded for aome minutes by hosts ot admirers, who gave evidence of their pleasure at meeting him. Mr, John Jackson is the oldest continuous trustee of the Rattenbury St Methodist church, having been associated with it for many years, and in the years that have gone hav- ing rendered it excellent service. Desiring a release from the duties of this position, he tendered his resigna- tion, which was accepted, at a meet- ing- of the board this week, and his son Fred was elected in his place. Messrs Foster and Lough not desiring to act as they have so many other duties to perform, were allowed to withdraw, and Mr Thos Detior was appointed a member of the board. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH WOMEN'S AUXILLIARY.—An open meeting of this society was held on Thursday evening of last week. The meeting was opened with a hymn and prayer, after which Miss Mountcastle read an instructive tract, "Why our meeting did not disband." A quartette, by Messrs Sibley, Jackson, Brewer and Shearer, was sang, which, it may be said, for perfect time, harmony and expression, was a great treat; Miss Jackson then sang a pretty little Scotch song, much to the pleasure of her audience. Mrs Newton, of Bay- field, was then asked to read her pa- per on "Missionary work." The sub- ject was presented in an interesting manner, and much information and living, practical thoughts suggested and given. The Women's Auxilliary will be glad to hear Mrs Newton again, The. choir of the church san an anthem, "Lead me home, Father," Miss Cree taking the solo. STABBED INTOJUO—Further intel- ligence has been received via San Francisco of the death of the Rev. Thomas A. Large, of the Canadian Methodist Mission, who has for the Last five years been laboring in the mission field of Japan. The brief' cablegram at first received, "Large, killed. Tell friends," lets it a matter of doubt whether the missionary had been murdered or whether his death was the result of an accident. Un- happily the worst fears that his death was due to violence have been con- firmed, for Japanese advices receiv- ed via San Francisco stated that he was brutally stabbed to death by two ruffians who burglariously entered his residence at Tokio, the capital of Japan. On of the miscreants, the telegram goes on to say, Las been caught, but the other was still at large when the despatch left T okio. The Japanese are, generally speak- ing, peaceable, inoffensive and law- abiding, and they are not prone to commit crimes of this character. It would be fanatical zeal or dislike of the propagator of new doctrines rather than plunder that would in- duce natives to commit an outrage if responsibility for it could be traced to them. The crime is more likely to have been foreigners of the seafar- ing class—bold, reckless men,outlaws from civilization, who are well known to frequent in large numbers all these Oriental ports. Mr Large was an ar- dent young missionary, 32 years of age, and a graduate of Cobourg. Hie widow is the daughter of the late editor of The Christian Guardian, Dr. Spencer, and leaves one child. He has been latterly a professor of the Theological School at Tokio, of which Dr. Cochran is the Principal. The last letter received from Mr Large states that he and his wife were then enjoying a holiday on the mountains. [Mrs J. 0. Deltor, late of Clinton, was a sister-in-law of Mr Large, and if we mistake not, Mr S. W. Perry and Mr Large were college companions. Mr Large's home war formerly at . Listowel, but his father now resides at West Toronto Junc- tion. Mre Large, sr. and Mrs Ed. Turner, of Tuckeremith, are sisters— En.
