No. 11 was held in the usual .place, Mr Jos Izzard's grove, on Friday, 17th June. The morning being rather threatening detracted greatly from the collection of a large crowd early in the day, but in the afternoon the people turned out in large numbers, showing that their interest in the pleasure of the chii(lren's day was not on the wane. The prizes, which formed such a very intereseng feature on similar occa- sions in former years, were dispensed with, but notwithstanding this fact, all, both old and young, enjoyed them- selves to the utmost. A. good number of swings were provided, which were much in requisition. Dinner was ser - v -at two -o'clock, and then again in the evening lunch was provided, after which a very friendly game of football was indulged in between the Beavers. of Holmesville, and the Clear Grits. of Goderich township, resulting in a vic- tory for the Beavers by two goals to none. traction for the ,I2tit arrived on Satur- day.

Ross' barn, con. 13, on Thursday last. It seems that one of the plates, when being placed in posi- tion, slipped and fell to the ground, taking with it Mr A. Dundas,who also fellto the ground. His fall was some - whet broken by first boming in con- t..t` with a temporary flooring that had been placed on the building, and off this he fell to the ground, getting a severe shaking up, a sprained wrist, and having Several teeth knocked out.

DEATIL-After a lingering and pain- ful illness, Mrs George Dobson passed away at 5 p.m. on Thursday June 23rd, at the age of 55 years. The body of the deceased was laid in Maitland Bank cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Mrs Dobson was one of the most highly respected women in our neighborhood, and many were deep in their sorrow at the loss we have sustained. She Te-avereTiel, Iiiideiiiffeenffeighteeleildeeenetee mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother; they have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sorrow. The funeral sermon was preached on the lawn at Mr. Dobbin's residence, on Saturday; by Rev H. Irvine, from the words, "I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.'" Psalm .36, 14. NOTES.- Mrs.aohn Shepherd was ser- iously ill last week, with a touch of in- flammation, but she is now recovering rapidly. Mrs Horton, sr., has not been so well lately. Mr George Mitchell is sufficiently recovered to drive himself out to Hensell andhack; his prospects seem good now for recovery. MrThos. Dobson is home on a visit from Souris, Manitoba. The County Council of Bruce has decided that all taxes for county purposes be raised <in land values, with the exception of five per cent. on personalty. GILIOTHISIMAN CLINTON *A GOOD OUTLOOK. -It Lute been said by some old settlers, who have been residents of this counfy for over fifty years, that they have never seen be prospects for an all round crop of everything than the present one pro- mises to be if there is -favorable weath- er for harvesting it. TALL WHEAT. -We noticed in some of the papers last week about some fall wheat that measured four feet some inches high; why that ain't a circumstance to the wheat that we can raise in Stanley; Mr John Sparrow, near Varna, has a field of 15 acres, which will average over six feet high. FESTIVAL.—The strawberry Festival under the auspices of Varna Council R. T. of T.,came off last Tuesday night, and it was a grand success, over fifty members were present, and after the berries were disposed of an excellent program, consisting of instrumental and vocal music, songs, readings, speeches, etc. And every body went home delighted with evening's enter- tainment. Oar sales ot Gents Fine Hats in both Straw and Felts continue to roll up, and to gather strength with each re- volution. Probably you ask the reason of this. 'The an- swer is plain and very short. It is because every article we offer thraughout the whole store is of this season's buying consequently very stylish, new and cheap. 1 oravvisema cit'arvox lay in the fact that a genume burglar was in our midst. The man had en- tered a house on the Oth Con: of W a- wanosh the previous evening, and stolen some six dollars of genuine money, helped himself to a good meal, washed it down with milk, and then wended his way to the village, no doubt to try his fortune here, but Mr. Taylor, the Reeve got on his track, and was in the bar room of the hotel giving his story and describingthe man to i willing listeners, when n walked the culprit; sundry looks and nods were exchanged, when Mr Burglar saw he was beieg closely eyed, so he walked out, when the cry was raised, stop himl but the fellow had the start, and though he was pursued by several anxious to catch him, yet he left them all behind in a short rapid dash around the first corner, up a little hill, around another corner, sleep like spring heel- ed Jack over a feece, across a wheat - field for the bush, and liberty, and so the game was sighted, chased, lost. Roeeville NOTES. -The prospects for a large yield of fall wheat and spring grain in this locality are most encouraging. Mr R. Armstrong, one of the Goshen's oldest and most esteemed residents, has taken up his residence in Bayfield; Mr Armstrongwill be greatly missed by his manyfriends here, and by the Orange Lodge, Goshen, of which he was a faithful and devoted member. Mr Wm Peck, one of the pioneers of "the land of milk and honey," is, we understand, makingpreparation to launch exteneively into the sheep industry this season; Mr Peck will erect a monster sheep pen, which bids fair to eclipse the great wigwam of the late Repnblic Convention at Minneap- plis; may our esteemed friend's shadow never grow less. The members of the Orange Lodge, Goshen, are putting in some hard practice for the 12th; Bay- field has been selected as the district plaee of meeting this year. The gar- den social at Mr Clark's, Babylon, on Wednesday evening of last week, pass- ed off most successfully, and the funds of the Presbyterian church, in connection with which it was held, will be swelled to the amount of $18 in consequence.

A large number of young people Of the West End and the surrounding country picniced. at Bayfield on Friday east. As the weather was fine a very enjoy- able time was spent. The last few days have not been very good weather for hay making but those who are want- ing a second crop for seed are at it. Master Will White, has engaged with Mr Geo. Crich, for the harvest. A couple of teamsters who were doing statute labor last Saturday had narrow escapes from being caught with the train; perhaps the picnic had affected them in the form of an opiate. Miter Sarah Watters left this week on a visit to her sister Mrs Jas. Else,of Pierce Co. N. Dakota. Mr Fred Johns of Thessa- Ion, Algoma, is visiting relatives here. Mr andeers Sandich, of Ingersoll, ,are visiting at Mr Frank °rich's. , Hensall LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE COTS %TEN - TION. -A meeting of the Liberal Con- servative Association of South Huron was held in Hodgin's Hall, here, on Tuesday Wit.

Could you not do as much as paint the town hall with the public money? Or pro- tect the seats at the bank, which they placed there. You ought to have seen that enterprising man's, J. W. Cook's, eye twinkle, when he heard about the two headed calf. He had his camera in front of it at short notice, and will be happy to show his many friends a good cabinet of the curiosity, if they call at the gallery. A PROBABLE SETTLEMENT. - The Card -Gallagher case, which has re- ceived quite a bit of local interest and attention for some months, but which - never was reported in any of the pa- xers, has been brought to a probable end at last. The following, as far as we can ascertain, is the substance of the trouble :-At intermission some months ago, a number of small boys and girls were playing outside the school yard, among them Nellie, the little daughter of the complainant, and John Gallagher, the defendant. It ap- pears the other children were calling him "emigrant" and "orphan," at which he would chase them, but still in fun. Some would pull his coat tail and then be caught and given a swing around. One of these was Nellie, but she fell after her whirl. An action was brought for indecent assault, and John was arraigned before the reeve and other magistrates. Immediately it was discovered that such a charge could not be sustained, a charge of common assault was entered. The boy was asked if he put "a hand on the girl," and, answering in the affirmative, he was convicted and sentenced to a fine of $10 and costs, amounting to $5 more. Friends immediately advanced the mo- ney, but the case was taken before His Honor Judge Toms. Quite a number of the children were at Goderich as wit- nesses, where their evidence amounted to "It was all in fun. We were all playing together, Please fez les.pulled considerable improvement to her house 1WeIt'S-135MVtlIefillim names, and and store.
