DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.—A dispute
arose one night recently between a
father and son, one of our residents,
about the ownership of a cow which
the son claimed as his, and came to the
father's residence with the intention
of taking. The old man, who is over
70 years of age,pleaded for it to remain,
as it was the means of helping to sup-
port his family. The young man got
into a passion and commenced fighting
with his younger brother, chasing him
into the house. He went to the barn,
where his father was standing guard-
ing the cow, knocking the old man
down with a pitch -fork, inflicting an
ugly gash over the temple, rendering
him almost unconscious. He then ob-
tained the cow and cleared home. The
community has sympathy for the fath-
er, and feels that the law should take
hold of the young fellow. wholdeserves
to be punished in a severe way.

m., last Monday, after a lonu and pain-
ful illness. Her spine was injured by
a fall, when quite young, and it was
this, aggravated by la grippe, that
caused her death. She was a great
sufferer, but bore her sufferings pa-
tiently and cheerfully. Her sixteenth
birthday was on the first day of May
next, but she did not live to see it.
On Wednesday the funeral left the

THE ALMA CONCERT.—A pleasant
evening was spent at Alma Methodist
church, on Friday of last week, being
the event of the closing concert of the
singing class held in that place, by Mr
G. F. Oakes. Mr Henderson occupied
the chair and preformed the duties of
that office satisfactory to all. The
program consisted of choruses by the
class, quartettes, duets,and recitations.
Although the weather was unfavorable
and a number of those who had prom-
ised to assist could not be present, yet
all went away with a unanimous ex-
pression of satisfaction with the en-
tertainment. Mr Oakes' classes are
now closed for the summer months,
and will be resumed at the beginning
of the coming winter. As this was
Alma's first term all who have heard
them sing, speak highly of the pro-
gress made in so short a time.
Hullett.
111 DEATH.—Miss Adah Grasby, after
suffering a severe illness for about
three months, passed triumphantly
home to her blessed Father, on Tues-
day, the 19th inst. All through her
illness she gave testimony to the pow-
er of Christ to save. She was a con-
sistent member of the Londesboro
Methodist church.
Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel -steps
The path which reaches heaven.
The light of her young life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star—
Clear, suddenly and still.
As pure and sweet her fair brow seemed,
Eternal as the sky:
And like the brooks low song her voice,
A sound which could not die,
The blessing of her quiet life,
Fell on its as the dew;
And good thoughts, where her foot -steps
pressed,
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptinge unto kindest deeds,
Were in her very look;
We read her face, as one who reads
A true and holy book.
Alone unto our Father's will
One thought bath reconciled,
That He whose love exceedeth ours,
Hath taken home His child,
Fold ber, 0 Father, in Thine arms,
And let her henceforth be;
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee.

ing the lake breezes and visiting other
points of interest; it is hinted that he
will likely come again.

old ceuntry in a few weeks, to remain

day night last.
Another Correspondent
NOTES.—Mr Wm Cole, of Clinton,
seemed to have become suddenly very
fond of the quietness of our village,
this was quite proper, but we don't see
why he should so abruptly discontinue
his visits simply because one of the
lady visitors at the hotel left for the
city. The funeral sermon of the late
David Cantelon, sr, was preached last
Sunday evening, in the Holmesville
Methodist church, to a crowded house,
by the pastor, from the words "For we

building of God, an house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Saturday
evening last the residence of Robert
Marshall, of Porter's Hill, was discov-
ered to be on fire. The alarm was at
once given, but the flames had obtained
such a hold on the building that but
little could be done to save it or the
contents, and in a very short time,
what had been the cosy homestead of
Mr Marshall for many years, was re-
duced to a stnotildring heap of ashes,
A defective Stovepipe is supposed to
have been the cause of the disaster.
Mr Marshall has the sympathy of the
entire neighborhood, as he lost every-
thing he ha&

ANOTHER FURNITURE FACTORY.—
Several of the business men of Wing-
-ham have made Mr Dowling, of Har-
riston, an offer as 'follows:—Ta give
Min a frame building sixty feet wide
by one htincired and thirty feet long,
three storeys hig,h, set on a stone fours -
dation, and sufficient ground for yard,
for term of ten years, at the sum of $1
a year. We think that this is a grand
offer, but we have not heard whether
Mr Dowling has accepted it or not,
but we hope he will.
CONCERT.—Maple Leaf Mission Band
gave a grand concert in the Congrega-
tional church, on Thursday evening of
last week. The entertainment was
chiefly given by the children, consist-
ing of choruses, readings and recite -
tions. The charming voices of the
children, as they sang, was much ap-
preciated by the audience. The Misses
Watson gave a couple of vocal and in-
strumental selections, with good effect,
Revs Messrs McGregor and Watson
made a few brief remarks, and the
meeting closed with singing and the
benediction, all wending their way
home, feeling that they had spent a
very pleasant and profitable evening
together. Theproceeds amounted to$15.
LECTURES.—Miss Phelps, the lady
lecturer, of St. Catharines, appeared
before a large audience, in the temper-
ance hall, on Monday evening. Her
lecture, on the great temperance ques-
tion, so charmed the audience that the
W.C.T.U., under whose auspices the
lecture was given, saw that the hall
was going to be tOo small for Tuesday
evening, and very wisely secured the
Presbyterian church. Here Miss Phelps
appeared 'again before a very large as-
sembly, which in itself was evidence
that her lecture on the previous even-
ing was appreciated, by all that heard
it. Her second address was equal to
the first. To say the least, Miss Phelps
is the best temperance lecturer that
ever visited this town, and we hope
that the ladies of Wingham may again
be able to secure the services of this
much esteemed lady for two or three
evenings, in the near future.
