THE LtBI ARY.—At a meeting of
the Mechanics' Institute Board of
Directors, the librarian, Mr James
Scott, was granted two weeks leave of
absence ; the committee will make
rrangewents for keeping the Library
en during his absence.
COLLEGIATE ' INSTITUTE.—At a
meeting, of the Board of Trustees ou
Friday evening last the estimates for
the coming year were raised. Au.zd-
dition of $50 to the salary of Mr Mor -
raid, conditionally promised him at
the time of his engagement, was giv-
en him. That he deserves the in-
crease all familiar with his work wil
freely admit,
CATTLE.—On Monday Mr Douglas
McTavish, of Stanley,-deliverd to Mr
James Hearne, four head of cattle
weighing 5380 lbs ; one pair of steers
were particularly good animals. On
Saturday Mr W. McLean shipped 100
head of cattlep83 fed by himself, and
weighed 105,250, or an average ot
nearly 1300 each; 18 he bought from
Geo. Dale, Hallett and they weighed
23640 lbs.
A CLEVER STUDENT.—Miss May
Irwin, (who is quite young in years,)
daughter of Mr J. W. Irwin, of this
town, has already distinguished her-
self izf Toronto as a clever and bright
student, has lately added to her other
honors that of successfully passing
the examinations at Toronto Art
School. She is now qualified to teach
in any Collegiate Institute or High
School any of the art courses.
FORMING BAD HA BITS.—It looks
as though our esteemed friend, the
editor of the Expositor, is forming
very bad habite and requires looking
after. In his last issue he complains
that the electric lights in that back-
woods place are not kept burning
late enough at night, and thinks they
ehould not be turned off before 2 a m.
at any rate, and says "It is very an-
noying to stumble home in the dark
at the imminent risk of breaking a
neck or limb." You should go home
earlier, Mac, and then there would
be no danger of you "stumbling
home in the dark." Seaforth water
was always questionable stuff, any -
bow.
IMPORTED STOCK.—Mr John Dun-
can, of Stanley, arrived here on Fri-
day, from the old country, having
with him forty-five Shropshire sheep,
from the very best herds that could
be secured. Mr Duncan is thorough-
ly posted in this branch of stock -rais-
ing, and the large number that he has
handled shows that he knows how to
handle them to the best advantage.
Be also brought with him a very fine
two-year old stallion for Mr James
McFarlane, another well-known stock
raiser. Mr McFarlane saw this ani-
mal when it was a colt, and tried to
purchase, but the owner was unwill-
ing to part with it. Mr Duncan says
be had a very pleasant trip through-
out.
DEATH OF MR WILLIAMS.—Mr
Geo. Williams, son of the late Rev
John A. Williams, D. D., of the
Methodist Church of Canada, died
A on Friday, at St. Thomas, from con-
sumption, after a lingering illness of
four months' duration. Deceased
was aged about 38 years, and had
been a resident of St. Thomas since
his father was pastor of the First
Methodist church, fifteen years ago.
He had been for fourteen years a
bookkeeper in the employ of Mr J.
Griffin, pork packer and coal mer-
chant, and was married to Fanny,
latgllter of A. J, Allworth, manager
o' s 'of the Southern Loan Company, of
that city. He leaves no children.
His brothers are Rev Mr Williams,
tf Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Williams,
Clinton; Mr A. S. Williams, Bramp-
ton; and Mr Benjamin Williams, of
Rochester. His sisters, Miss Carrie
=1° Williams, of Toronto; and Mrs Ross,
of Montreal. Mrs (Rev) John A.
.Williams was at his deathbed. The
remains were interred on Monday.
THE GODERICH POST OFFICE —
The only public work undertaken in
this county for some time by the
Dominion Government, is the erec-
tion of the Goderich post office. No
One who has ever visited the narrow
'' confines of the old one will condemn
the erection of the new one, though
=the location is not even admired by
the Goderich people themselves, as it
r is away altogether from the business
centre. Mr Campbell, postmaster,
obliging to the fullest, extent, cour-
teously took a number of victors
through the new building on Tues-
day, explaining minutely the differ-
, ant departments of the building and
their uses. The premises are heated
by steam throughout by a boiler plac-
ed in the basement. While commod-
ious quarters have been provided for
'the postmaster and his assistants, the
` space alloated for the public is exceed-
ingly limited, and it l000ka like a bad
,oversight to construct a public build -
big with such contracted accomoda-
,t;on for the public ; to have made
"the building eight or ten e'eet deeper
from the street would have provided
atmplis room, and at the same time
Mabe improved the appearance of the
building. Aceomodation is also pro -
„aided for the (Inatome and Inland
Revenue collectors. The building is

also started the Wingharn Advance.

A report was current here last week
that Mrs Edwards (late Whitely) had

is no truth whatever in the story.
She has been sick, and we beleive her
mother wentdown to attend her a week
agobut beyond this there is no founda-
tion for the story.
THE ENTRANCE.—MrW. R. Lough,
of Clinton Model School, sent up 23
pupils to the Entrance Examination,
out of this number I2 pass and ten
are recommended, all of whom are
likely to be allowed. This is a very
good record indeed, when it is remem-
bered that last December Mr Lough
also passed a dozen. Several other
schools in the county only have an
entrance examination once a year.
The Brussels Post thus refers to a
portion of the family of Mr John Cal-
bick, of town: —Mrs W. A. Calbick

ing the sum of $900 for the same.
Possession will be given about the end
of the month. MrsCalbick and fam-
ily will remove about that time to
New Westminster, British Columbia,
where Mr Calbick went last spring,
for the benefit of his health. The
country agreeing with him he deter-
mined to make his home there. Five
of his brothers are residents of the
same city. Mr Calbick and family
were worthy residents.

The estimates were su hcaitted, for

the Secretary instructed to make ap-
plication to the Cpuncil for the same,

The school was placed under the
jurisdiction of Mr David Robb, In-
spector for the East Riding.
The report of Mr Lough, head-
master, gave the attendance for June
as follows"—Boys on the roll, 234,
girls. 244—total 478, average 42b.
For July, average 345. The attend-
ance for the half-year was a fraction
-over 407, for the same time in 1889,
421, the change being due to sick-
ness and decrease in school popula
tion,
On motion the salary of Mr Lough
was increased from $750 to $800, to
date from the ]st ofJanuary next.
That he deserves the increase will be
admitted by all, for be has worked
for the advancement of the school
ever since he became connected with
it, and in comparison with other
places, the salary is by no means
excessive. Kincardine headmaster
gets $850, and Seaforth, with
no Model School, $800. Out
of 58 Model Schools in the Prov-
ince 32 pay a higher salary than
that given here. so that the
Board are perfectly justified in grant-
ing him the increase.
Church Chimes
The Baptist picnic, intended to
have been held at Stapleton yesterday
will be held to -day (Friday) owing to
the rain, commencing at 1 o'clock.
The new program issued by the Y.
P. C•IA. of the,Rattenbury St. church
presents a list of subjects for the'com-
iog six months that cannot fail to in-
tereat and instruct.
Rev. A. Stewart, desiring a few
weeks holidays, leaves this week for
La Chute, Que. His pulpit will be
supplied during hisabsence by Mr
Reid, of Toronto.
Mr Seldon, who has been pastor of
the BaptistChurch for several months,
severs his connection therewith,
on the 1st of Sept., when he returns
to college. Mr Seldon is well liked
here, and bis departure will be gen•
erally regretted, but it is one of those
circumstances that cannot be avoid-
ed. A call has been extended to
Rev G. C. Rock, Baptist minister,
of Glamis, but he has not yet signifi-
ed his decision concerning Same.
Rev A. E. Smith, formerly of Var-
na, but for the last two years station-
ed at Wroxeter, has just been trans-
ferred by Conference to Moorefield.
That Mr Smith and bis estimable
wife were highly estemed by the
people of Wroxeter, is shown by the
fact that prior to their removal a
large cumber gathered at the parson-
age and presented Mrs Smith with
a beautiful hanging lamp and Mr
Smith with a well filled purse.
S. S. EXCURSION.—The friends of
Rattenbury and Ontario Street Sab-
bath Schools, to the number of about
six hundred, picniced at Goderich on
Tuesday. The day was fine, and
gave plenty of opportunity for enjoy-
ment, the crowd (excepting a few
who were left) returning home in the
evening after a good day's outing.
It had become a byword that "a
Methodist picnic always brings rain,"
but the record has been broken.
Garden Party.
The young Ladies Mission Band of
the Presbyterian church, held a gar-
den party on Tuesday evening last,
which was not only a grand success,
but was one of the most brilliant af-
fairs of the kind that has ever been
attempted inClinton. The place at
which it was held was on the beauti-
ful property of Mr Peter Straith,
which includes the residence of Mr T.
Jackeon, jr., and Mr J. W. Irwin,
which are all open one to another,
and is without exception a beautiful
place and could not be better adapted.
The entire grounds were beautifully
illuminated by four electric lights
under the supervision of Mr Hughes,
the electrician, and the three houses
were all handsomely decorated with
chinese lanterns, flags and bunting,
and with such a crowd on the grounds
it was a sight not to be forgotten for
some time.' The attractions were
good, besides the quartette singing ot
Messrs Brewer, Sibley, Jackson and
Holloway, and duetts from Miss E.
Walker and Mr W. Harland, and a
great number of the beet selections
from the Doherty Band, a game of
croquet between the Ontario street
church and Presbyterian church, as
well as other matches. °A fine exhi-
bition game of lawn tennis was played
between Clinton and Blyth, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators.
It was novel as well as interesting,
being played by electric light. A
game of quoits was also played be-
tween Stanley and Clinton, but we
did not learn the result. The twenty
three refreshment tables were kept
constantly goinq,the warm night hav-
ing a good effect on people's appetites
for ice cream, etc. The only thing
the ladies regretted was having tc
announce, about 10 p. m., that the
Ice Cream was done. They had pre-
pared for a big crowd, but not so
large as was present. It is estimated
that not less than 700 people were
present. There was a good crowd
from Seaforth, Blyth, Goderich and
Stanley. The ladies are to be con-
gratulated on the brilliant success,
and they particularly wish to convey
to Messrs Straith, Jackson and Irwin
their high appreciation of their kind•
ness in helping to make the matter a
success, by the use of the grounds
and in many other ways. The pro-
ceeds amounted to
THE HURON CENTRAL.—Thi fair
to be held under the auspices of the
Huron Central' Exhibition Associa-
tion, in Clinton, on the lst, 2nd and
3rd of October, gives prottliee of being
unusually good. A comnt'ttee that
has been canvassing our4ttetlemen,
and others, met with very gratifying
success, receiving promise of financial
aid larger than last year. l(„et every•
body help, and the success of the Fair
is assured.
