MRS lioUNTCASTLE.
Our death column shows that an-
other of Huron's old pioneers has
passed away, in the person of Mrs
Mountcaetle, relict of the late S H
Mountcastle, who died on Tuesday
morning. More extended notice con-
cerning her will appear next week.
F. J. M. rrsoeLL.
Mr F J M TisdalI, who died at the
residence of his son, J P Tiedall, Esq.,
Rattenbury street, on Saturday morn-
ing, was known only to a compara-
tive few of our townspeople, though
he was well known and very highly
esteemed at Strothroy and other
places,where moat of his life had been
spent. For some time past he has
been troubled with cancer in the
throat, and specialists at Toronto not
giving him any relief he came here
several months ago to reside with his
son. He enjoyed the best ot health
generally, had no constitutional ail-
ment, but found it difficult and pain-
ful to take eves liquid nourishment,
and while he eat reading on `Saturd ay
his breathing became restricted, and
before any relief could be afforded
him, he had died. He was 'lige ly
educated, being a graduate of Trinity
College, Dublin. Born in Clifton,
Bristol, England, . he came to this
country and settled in the township
of Adelaide,where he resided for some
years, finally taking up his residence
in Strathroy. A short service was
conducted at the house, on Monday
morning, by Rev W Craig, after
which the body was taken to the sta-
tion, and thence to Strathroy for in-
terment. The following gentlemen
acted as pall bearers here :-Messrs
R and J Ransford, H C Brewer, F
Macpherson, W S Harland and W W
Ferran. He leaves two daughters
and two sons.
TOO MUCH OF IT. -A number of
business men have complained to us
of a nuisance that is growing worse
every'year ; one which they do not
like ,to complain of individually, but
which they thinkshould in some
way beCetopped at once. It is the
soliciting of subscriptions, net for
objects that are really deserving of
help, bttt for objects that should be
started without private aid. For
instance the people of Silver Hollow
want to form a fife and drum band,
and they start a subscription among
the business men, any one of whom
don't ciireth cent whether Silver Hol-
low hag a fife and drum band or not,
but they ata afraid to offend some of
their customers in Silver Hollow by
refusing, and 'consequently they be-
come unwilling contributors. Or
some youngsters want to form the
Nip -and -Tuck base ball team, and
they, too, think they have a perfect
right to bleed the business men; and
so the thing goes on during the year,
until the average business man has
laid out enough in this -way to keep a
family for a month, to say nothing of
his feelings towards this kind of im-
position. Business men , are quite
willing to help worthy objects, but
they think it ie time to draw tho line
at the objects} abet have no claim
Wlultev'er upon their help.
LrrTLE LoCALs.-Bicycle riding is
evidently a thing of the past for this
season ; the roads have been good all
summer. Grain has come down
slightly in price, and the opinion of
experts is that it will be lower. Mr
Whitehead is getting the material on
the ground for his new buildings on
the corner of Ontario and Albert
Streets: Several car loads of apples
have left here this season. The rain
this week, though disagreeable, will
do a great deal of good ; the ground
was very dry and the wells were get-
ting likewise. To -day is the last day
of Blyth fair ; this is usually one of
the best shows in the county, and
weather being favorable, there will
likely be a large crowd. By-the•way,
Kaye you paid your subscription for
the Nr,w ERA yet ? because if you
have not, we would be glad to get it.

As soon as Constable Wheatley dis-

around to lee it, in order that they
might be used as witnesses. The an-

good deal of curiosity, and as soon as

went around, and were loud in their
denunciations that the poor thing
should be so "heartlessly' exposed,

~SONS OF SCOTLAND BENEVOLENT
SooxnvY.-A cabtp of this order was
opened in Clinton on Friday evening
b organizer R. Nimmo, of Toronto.
Thereywas a large attendance, there

November. Mr Nightingale, of Brus-
sels, was here this week, with a view
to going into business; he came to no
decision, however Mr Albert Mor-
row has taken a situation in a Wing -
ham drug store ; this necessitates the
removal of his mother to that town.
Mr J P Doherty has gone back to
Toronto University. Mr George
Glasgow has got his stock moved in-
to his new promisee om the west side
of Albert Street; he has now a much

In advertising, the most effectual way to get
people to read what you advertise is to talk common
sense, and the commoner the better.
We ask this week to be permitted to dwell in
a common' sense manner,, on and about the common
sense requirements of this kind of weather, namely:—
R ubberCoats&Umbrellas
It matters not whether a man be in a healthy condition,
physically, he undoubtedly requires the very best
obtainable protection from the inclemency of our
shilling; fall rains.
We hare in Waterproof Garments an assortment that is
practically unequalled, ranging from $2.50 to $20.
Further, we advise all to avoid the unpleasant necessity
of walking a mile or so in a rainstorm without pro-
tection, by calling and purchasing a good Umbrella
from our stock.
