Last week a 6 -day's bicycle contest
was held in New York. The riders, 14
of whom started, dwindled down to 6
before the week was over ; they were
'at liberty to ride as long as they .liked
without rest. . The winner, Martin,
covered 1466 miles in the week, and
only slept ten hours of the whole time,
and the next man covered 1441 miles.
The victory of Martin and Ashinger af-
fords a striking example for all athletes.

If all the islands in the world are
counted, their numbers will mount into
hundreds of thousands. There are over
1,000 islands under the flag of Japan;
many hundreds in the St. Lawrence
River, and in Georgian Bay, the north
extension of Lake Huron, where we
find very few islands on the maps,
there are in reality several thousand
islands, most of them of coarse, quite
email. It was among these beautiful
wooded little islands that the Huron
Indians took refuge when they were
assailed in 1649 by their implacable
foes, the Iroquois. Among the labyrin-
thine channels the Iroquois could not
successfully pursue them, and those who
escaped to the island: saved themselves
from the extermin tion which befell
their friends.

DEAR Sra:-Having noticed try yo
last issue, an item under the Ba
news concerning the unknown z.-
found dead in the river here on,"1
26th Sept, I beg leave to Make 4, fe;
statements through your '• •coluiifiie
whish will, I think, give yours reedere
a proper basis upon which to fornethefn;
conjectures as to how the unfortulta .'
man came to his death. At about sun
set, on the Sabbath previous to Ibe'''
finding of the body, Mr Thos Geoffrey'
and his son had occasion to go Up -the.
Goderich road,and when about oppoosito ;
Mr Jae MoLeod's,they met a mat who,.':,
they said at the coroner's'impteet,
strongly resembled the one. top
Others also corroborate the etatemente
of these witnesses. They all were of,
the opinion that he was a tramp; oa.
hist back was the cnetomary pack, and
around, a seemingly, injured' baud was
a dirty looking rag. He seemed eel)* .'
plodding along under great difficulty,
and when met by the witnesses mere1 '
returned the "Good evening"' salute
Unfortunately he was not again seen as; t;
far as is known, till the body found OE,
;"
the river was identified by the witness -
ea as that of the man whom they had
last met. Those of your readers wl�►• '>

Jewett's hill there is an old and partly'.
grass-grown road, whioh branohea o •,,;
om the Goderioh road and leads to

bridge used to stand. Does it not seen
robable that a man, in endeavoring
11 probability to keep to the lake shore

arkness of night appeared to lead him

ollow it in his disconsolate, eoare for

SERMON. -On Sunday evening last
the Good Tempters had a sermon
preached for the benefit of their Or-
der, by Rev L W Diehl. The church
was crowded to the utmost, extra
seats having to be procured. The
reverend gentleman preached from
lot Dor. 8, 18. He spoke of tee in-
fluence exercised by every individual,
either for good or for evil, and showed
clearly that •in order to have •the
greatest influence for good in temper-
ance work, a person must be a total
abstainer; moderation will not do.
By statistical reference it was shown
how great.the evils of intemperance
are, and the members of the lodge
were implored to do all in their pow-
er to attain the object of its institu-
tion, viz., uplifting the fallen, caring
for the young, etc. Taken altogether,
it was a most inspiring and elevating
discourse, and the lodge feels proud
of having on its membership roll the
name of the reverend gentleman,who
officiated in the capacity here referred
to.

ANNIVERSARY SERMON. — Last.
Sunday morning the Forester's anni-
versary sermon was preached in the
Methodist church here, by the Rev
Mr Sellery. The Foresters met at
their hall and formed into line, mar-
shalled by Mr Vanstone. who pro-
ceeded south on Josephine street to
John street, turning west to Minnie
street, then south to the church,
where they counter marched into the
church. When the meeting was
opened, Mr Sellery said that he would
take the golden' rule as the founda-
tion of his discourse, and took his
text from Matt, 7, 12. He showed
therefrom the many beautiful lessons
which the Saviour himself taught,
and urged upon the brethren and au-
dience the necessity of having the
love of God in their hearts, to enable
them to do that wbich is just and
right unto others. The sermon was
an able one, and we hope that much
good may be the result of his earnest
labors. After leaving the church ,the
Foresters proceeded south to Victoria
street, then east to Josephine street,
then north to the front of their hall,
where they counter marched in. The
procession was very large and well
conducted. A number of visiting
brethren were present, and were cor-
dially received
