The beautiful property of 'Mr Peter Straith will be used for the occasion, which includes the grounds of Mr J. W. Irwin and Mr T. Jackson, Jr.,which are all open one to another. Mr Hughes, electrician has taken the contract for lighting the grounds with three 2000 candle power electric lights, and the ladies have arranged for the first match of Lawn Tennis to be played in Clinton, on these grounds, between Clinton and Blyth, which will be a novel feature, being played by electric light. There will be croquet matches. One has already been arranged between 1 the Ontario St. Church choir and the Presbyterian Church choir. Some good singing will be rendered by Quar- tettes, instrumental music by Doherty band, and many other attractions are being prepared by the committee. The admiseion_ will be voluntary collection and once inside refreshments of all kinds can be had all over the grounds. The ladies are working hard to make it a success, and are in hopes that it will be an event to be remembered for some time to come. An that is necessary is 1` good weather to make it such. Z.owu kaptc0. LEGAL.—The autumn assizes will be held at Goderich, commencing on Monday, Oct. 6th, before justice Mc- Machon. The chancery sittings will be held on Nov. 14th, before Justice Feiqueon. There is no sitting of the Division Court for this month. RETURNING.—Mr Wm. Foot who some time ago moved his family to Toronto to reside, is bringing them back to Clinton, and will oc- cupy his own house on Albert St. The reason for this change is that they have not enjoyed good health in tbe city. died at Port Huron, on Friday 1 Mr Lough, principal of the mo will spend is holidays in this vicin- ity.

MANY YEsns.—To-morrow, Ll[r Thos. O. Cooper, of Princeee Street, will celebrate his 82nd birthday; est. though "not so young as be used to del, be" he is still active and hearty, and Pickering, are visiting hereat Mre Jackson's, jr, Miss E. Babcock, of London, epending her summer vacation w friends in Clinton. Mr Geo. Sellery, of °egoode Hall Toronto, is spending a week with his aunt, Mrs J. C. Gilroy. Farmers have commenced cutting fall wheat, and Eay that that the grain is plump and in good condition. Mr W. H. Bine, and daughter, have returned to town, after spend- ing a week with friends at Stratford. W. S. Lawrence, the popular teach- er of the 16th con., Goderich town- ship, and wife, will spend their holi. days in Muskoka. We understand that Mr Thos. Watson intends to leave town, and will take up his residence in Detroit, where one of his eons reside. The Athletic Association have de- cided to lock up their "traps" for the summer, owing to their rooms having been so mnch injured by the late fire. The second daughter of Mr W. J. Paisley was taken suddenly ill on Tuesday, and for some time her life was in danger, but she now recover- ing, being much better. Mr Frank Hodgens, one of our popular young dry goods men is away an-na holiday trip at Port Stanley. Ir-win-ing ways will be missed by him while absent. Mies Mary Carson, who has been er, taking a course of telegraphy with Mr Watts, G. N. W. Tel. Co., left on Monday to take a position with the W. U. Tel. Co:, Buffalo. Mrs Pennebaker left timothy in this office, measuring 5 feet 6 inches in length. Mrs Keys goes one bet- ter by a sample measuriug 5 feet 9 inches, and has a whole field near ly like it. The familiar form of our tcwns man, Mr James Stavely, has been missed from the streets for a few days and enquiry as to his whereabouts revealed the fact that he had been farming. we hope may yet see many more years. He has enjoyed 52 years of wedded bliss his wife still journeying with him "this vale of tears." PBoniTA»LE,—That early vegt- is tables, etc, are a profitable crop le ith shown by the prices paid here when they first come in. A week ago new potatoes were selling at $2 a bushel; but they have since dropped one -halt Peas, in the pod, were selling at $2 a bushel, also, on their first appearance, but they too, have dropped. Other luxuries in the shape of vegetables were not quite so high. CONSUL.—Mr A.O. Pattison, agent for the G. T. R., hes been appointed an American Consul Agent at this place. This will be a very great con- venience to shippers and travellers, as it will obviate their going to Gode- rich to secure papers, els, when ship- ping -or moving to the 1'3-nited States Mr Pattison is known as an exceed- ingly affable agent, and will prove a suitable person for this position. ACCOMMODATION. -Passengers from the North have hitherto had to come south either by the very early train is the morning, or by the afternoon train. Hereafter a passenger coach will be attached to the freight train coming south, between Clinton and Wingham, and passengers can thus reach here in time to make close con- nection with trains east and west.— This will be quite an accomodation. But why not attach a coach to the freight going north, also? HOT.—During the week the ther- mometer has ranged anywhere from 85 to 95 degrees in the shade. Tues- day seemed to he the warmest day of the season, and the thermometer is said to have gone as high as 95 in the shade. The atmosphere was very close and oppressive, and seemed to .take all ambition out of one. Persons who think the heat unbearable,should feel thankful that their lot is not cast in such a locality as New Orleans, St. !;. Louis, or some other southern part, where the heat is something dreadful. ACCIDENT—What might have been a very serious accident occurred last Friday, at Holmesville. Mrs Chas. Cruickshank, with two of her daugh- ters, Mies Cruickshank and Mrs Mc- Gee, all of Clinton, drove to Goderich, and when they were coming down the big hill just west of Holmesville, the horse got going rather fast, al- though they were being carefully driven, and by some means were drawn into the ditch, upsetting the ;carriage, and spilling the occupants ,out. The ladies were helped into:the parsonage there, where everything possible was done for them, until Mr Ed. Swarts hitched the team, which bad run into a post and stopped, on to another rig, and brought them borne as quickly as possible. The triage Was badly smashed. One of she ladies required a few stitches put- ing in her face. OBITUARY.— We recently men- •'tioned the death of Mr Simpson, of Culross. father of Mies Simpson, of Clinton Model School. The follow. ing additional particulars have since tterse to hand.—"Although not in -robust health during the past year, yet he was able to go round, but in- Ilammation set in and so rapidly de- 'veloped tha t after two days illness he %passed peacefully away. Mr Simp- son was born in the parish of Towie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in the year .1819, and was consequently seventy- one years of age at the time of his 4loath. Marrying in his native coun- .'''try, he emigrated to Canada in 1853, and settled in the county of Peelibut shortly afterwards moved to Bruce copnty, where he resided until the ttime of his death. The usual lot of the pioneer was his, clearing up a bush lot, rearing and educating a large family. These filled up most of ire time. Deceased was for many yetitif-t hlet'nbbr Of the Presbyterian ehttrch, and in politics a Reformer. — a e was a kind father,a true friend,and dry obligiri neighbor—in fact, it iY$s :field that Wm. Simpson had no eneiniet. The esteem in which he Was held was manifested by the large, number who attended his funeral there being upwards of one hundred f;'v'e'h$clee in theproceesion. Hie part. /let in lie Still survives itim, end she With the mernbere of the family have the eyeapathy of all in their sad be- teuveteent. A family of ten children Wen anrvive, six sons and four daugb- .ti, Mr J. Reith, formerly of this place, but now of Tacoma, W. T., writes under recent date, that times are very quiet there at present. They had a lively spring, but business has slackened off. -Thee cricket club, the other day, had a beautiful photograph taken (Foster takes no other, no matter what the subject may be like) for presentrtion to Mr Keolle, who was one of its most active members., The patent grumbling machine is on hand. The weather is too hot or it is too cold. The bay will be drowned out and the wheat destroy- ed by the rust. Cate flattened by the wind, apples falling off; strawberries all gone, etc. Mise Eva Croll, of Parkhill, has been home for,a visit: we've been ex- pecting for some time to spell her name with a "Mrs" attachment, but eva•dently she can't get anybody to —we mean rather that she has too much sense to do anything of that kind. The Stratford Sun says there are about thirty stores empty in that place, some of them the best stands in the city, People who thought Clin- ton bad enough because it has a few vacant buildings,. have the consola- tion of knowing that other places are worse. Mr McDougall, who works Mr Mc- Taggart's farm, occupied a dangerous position for a few moments yesterday afternoon, when his team ran away, with a dissected reaping machine in the waggon, but he hung on and pulled them up before any damage was done. Mr J. M. Brown, formerly a teach- er in Stanley, but for the last year. a resident of Grace Harbor, Washing- ton territory, dropped in unexpect- edly on his old friends, on Wednes- day. He is engaged in teaching, but is taking a holiday. He likes the west well, though he admits that it has its drawbacks. He says that a good many are going there to settle, and also a good many coming away disgusted. He goes back shortly. igeareignxeszargessielasenceimniiiMintle No APPLES.—The almost entire failure of the apple crop will be even more severely felt than it was last season, because people calculated on recouping themselves this year for the loss last. Besides this direct loss it is an indirect one to the packers, barrel makers, etc. As far as can be learned there will be very few apples in any part of Ontario this year. SEVERE SPRAIN—The other day. Mrs Andrew Ginn went into Scruton's butcher shop for the purpose of weighing herself, and incautiously stepped on a board on top of the scale when it tripped up, and as she fell, struck her severely on the thigh,hurt- ing her so much that she had to be driven home and is yet unable to use her leg. CEMETERY LOTS—Mr W. C. Searle, Chairman of the Cemetery Commit- tee, desires us to say that though a few of the cemetery lot owners have attended to their lots, there are others who have done nothing, and are well able to pay a small sum to have it kept in order, but they have allowed the weeds to cover the tombstones, We are surprised to see such disre• epect shown to the dead, in allowing weeds to destroy their own Iota and their neighbors' also. The committee hopes that the delinquents will attend to them at once. DIVISION COURT BUSINEs$.—The report of the Division Court Inspec- tor shows that in 1889 the total num- ber of suits entered in the Courts •in Huron was 1761. Goderich had 346 suits, Seaforth 272, Clinton 192. The amount of claims eetered, exclusive of Transcripts of judgment and judg- ment summons, was the very large sum of $73,578.89. The number of judgment summonses issued in the county was 179. • - TRAVELLING.-W.,ackson tic• ket agent, reports the following travellers this week, Mr and Mrs Whitehead,Mies Josie Fair,R. J. Me- Donnel and Miss Allis Whitehead, who;are taki g the round trip on the lakes by the Empire. MIs Emma Doan for Bellefontain, Ohio. Mr and Mrs James Turnbull for Toronto, Mr and Mrs W. S. Lawrence for Mus- koka. Miss Addie Janes for Toronto Mies Mary Carson for Buffalo. FIRE.—The fire alarm, on Tues- day morning, brought a lot of people out on the streets, but it was soon found that the fire was put out before their services were required. It originated somehow from the oven of Mr W. Young, and at first sight threatened to be serious, but no harm was done. Had it once got fairly started, it would have been very dif- ficult to have saved any of the build- ings along that side, as all are frame and close together. Who is it, anyhow? At even, when the sun goes down, The jay bird goes to see; He flies the road to Stapleton, And chats with cartis(y). But since his mate has fled, And now he goes alone, As to a small Blyth town, They say that she has flown. Church Chimes Confirmation services were held in St Paul's church,on Sunday last. The Sabbath School of Rattenbury and Ontario street churches will picnic a: Goderich, on Tuesday next. Mr S. Couch, brother of Mr Arthur Couch, will preach in Ontario St church, on the morning of the 27th inst. The report of the entrance exam- ination were not completed in time for publication this week, but will be published next week. The young people of Rattenbury St church have given the Lecture room a home -like and cozy appear- ance by handsomely papering the walls. Prof. Canfield, who labored here and elsewhere with Rev D. 0. Cross- ley, is now associated with Rev B. B. Keefer in evangelistic work in Win nipez. Mrs A. T. Large, the widow of Missionary Large, who was murdered at Tokio, Japan, three months ago. and sister of Mrs J. T. Detlor, has returned to this country and is now at Paris on a "visit to relatives. The officers, scholars and friends of the Presbyterian and Episcopal Sabbath Schools, to the number of several hundred, picnicked at Gode- rich yesterday. It rained slightly before they got started, but the day was delightfully cool and they no doubt all enjoyed themselves well. On Sunday evening Rey. J. Edge preached a sermon from the text "Thou shalt not steal." Among the several forms of stealing alluded to was the very cdmmon and decidedly objectionable practise of beating down business men in their prices, whom, the reverend gentleman claim- ed, were properly entitled to a rea- sonable amount of profit, SOCIAL.—The lawn social at the residence of Mr R. Irwin, on Tues- day evening, under the auspices of the Dairymaids, was well patronized and proved a very pleasant gathering. The well -kept grounds were beauti- fully illuminated with Chinese lan- terns, everything was "pink and - white" and the young ladies vied with each other in cateering to the wants of those present. A program of music, etc., helped to enliven the evening. The proceeds, above ex- penses, were $16.70. Brucefield: Mr Wm. Dixon has returned from his holiday trip, looking hale and hearty. Miss Mamie McIntosh is home again from her visit to Petrolia, hav- ing enjoyed avery pleasant time with her friends there. Mr Wm. Graham, teacher in Bel- mont, is spending a few days of her vacation here with his mother and friends. We are pleased' to learn he is succeeding well as a teacher. LAWN SOCIAL.—The Auxiliary of the W. F. M. S. intend giving a lawn social on Tuesday evening next, the 22nd, on Mr David McIntosh's lawn. The delicacies of the season, along with refreshments will be furnished. The Seaforth Brass Band will be in attendance to furnish music for the evening. The proceeds are for mis- sionary purposes, therefore the ladies reasonably expect a large gathering. A good time may be expected. f LE NOW GOING ON AT R ROBERTSON'S.
