P., as the members of this congregation never do things by halves, a good time may be expected. NOTES.—Mr James Tayter, of Har - Aston, is visiting friends in this place; he was unfortunate enough some short time ago to get the points of thrde fingers taken off with a plainer in the factory in which he is employed. Mr R. Stephenson returned home from Manitoba last week; he is quite pleased with the country, and were he eighteen instead of nearly eighty he would make that his home.

He was a native of Ireland and was over 90 years of age when he died. SOMETHING NEW.—At their meeting on Tuesday last, the Huron Medical Association decided by an unanimous vote to hold a picnic of the Medical men with their wives and tamilies, at Bayfield, during the first week of Au- gust. The ministers' picnic is the next in order. ARRIVALS.—The following register- ed at the River Hotel during the past week:—Miss McPherson, Misses Helen, Jean, Lenna and Elsie Fisher, Master Gordon McPherson and Miss Amy Mc- Pherson, all of Stratford, and Mr and Mrs Blackburn and family, of London. FOR THE ARTIST'S BRUSH.—One of those remarkable sunsets for which Lake Huron is noted and which artists have attempted to put on canvas, was seen here on Saturday evening last. We dare not venture a description as it beggars all description. It is one of those things which must be seen to be appreciated. If we remember rightly Miss Mountcastle, of Clinton, lute a beautiful painting of a sunsets' on Lake Huron. GREAT HEAT.—The heat here on Sunday last was the most severe of the season, the thermometer register- ing 920 in the shade about a, p: rm. Had it not been for the modulating breezes, which blow off Lake Huron, serious results might have been even- enced. Quite a number drove in from the inland places and made a direct lin e for the park, which, trom its elevat- ed position and cool shade, was a most refreshing retreat on such a day. CH.O.RCH ITEMS.—Rev F. G. Newton preached in Dungannon on Sabbath. Rev Andrew Henderson, of Atwood, delivered able discourses in St. An- drews church, both on Friday and Sabbath morning; sacrament was dis- spensectto &large mimber_ tommune cants. The new Sunday School library, procured for St. Andrews school from Jas I. Anderson & Co, London; it con- tains all the Pansy and Elsie books, as well as many others of the most ap- oved aeading-fer -ehildrens - - A JEALOUS EYE.—The'editor of the Goderich Signal reprints an article of ours comparing the treeless park of that town with the luxuriance of our own, and tops it off with the sneering remark "This is rich." If the Signal had seen the delighted crowd from Goderich, who came here last Wednes- day to enjoy the shade, which their own park could not afford, and had heard the complimentary remarks passed, his finger nails would be even shorter if possible than they are now, over Bayfield's resort fame. A LIVELY WEEK.—Jowett's grove was the scene of many picnic parties during the past week. Wednesday was Brucefield's Civic holiday and it was spent here. In all seven parties - from different towns spread themsel- ves over the spacious grounds. On Thursday the Methodist Sabbath School, of Hensel], together with the choir and friends of Willis church, Clinton, occupied the grove. On each of the other days of the week smaller crowds drove in to spend a day by the lake. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Mrs Snow- don, who has still a live interest in the fate of the sailors who were wreckad last winter, received word lately of a serious accident which befell one of the number. As John Ditson, the man who nursed the boy Wixson, was loading lumber at some port in Wis- consin, he jumped about thirty feet from a falling pile of lumber in order to save his lite, but unfortunately broke both legs and somewhat severe- ly sprained his back in the attempt. He is now on crutchee and doing well. OH TO BE THERE.—NO association, club or society has a spark of the pro- gressive, nOt to speak of the aristo- cratic, if it does not during the sum- mer months organize a holiday picnic party and have an outjng at one of the favorite resdrtsin its neighbor- hood. For this purpose no outlet on Lake Huron has more natural adeare tages, and no resort has had the stamp of popularity placed so emphatically upon it than our own humble water- ing -place during the present season, and it Is not an undeserved popularity, for where has the skilful hand of na- ture clethed the landscape in such beauty as here? The numbers who have enjoyed the pleasures of the park during the past week amply answer our query with their silent negative. PERSONALS.—Mr Ed. Rutledge, who is engaged in Hamilton, is home for a few holidays; Ed. generally man- ages to get around Bayfleld at this very interesting season.

Priam an occasional Correspondent. POOR WILLIE.—Willie Robinson has left Wipghans. That was the word that eras passed around amongst the good people of our town last week. Will, as he was called by the boys, has lived in town and neighborhood for the last decade, and at one time owned a cosy little cottage and had a happy little home, but through crooked busi- ness failure and the work of the man who had him in hand, Willie's home on the hill has gone and he was forced to leave his family to try his 'fortune in a foreign land and endeavor to re- gain what he had lost here. We hope he will be successful and soon be pros- perous and happy as he was in the years gone by. A FEW POINTERS.—Our next mayor, Lawyer Morton. What's the matter with Hanna? he's all right. Beware of "green goods," as it is rumored a party arrived in town with a grip full of the "green stuff." The little candyman is still doing business at the north end of the town. Dr Tamblyn has opened his park to the public, free of charge, which is appreciated by the frequent- ers of that shady nook. Raise Bul- lard's salary, wonder how some of the town officials would like to do fifteen hours' work for six hours' pay. The Garbut-Conover crooks have caused considerable talk in our town, but they too have got stale, and little sympathy is given to the three grass widows, who occupy a tenement house in the suburbs of this place.

One of ourprow il- nent citizens, and one who s after "coin," whether he gets it by legiti- mate measures, got it in the neck to the extent of several hundred, by the "green good's faker," in a certain town in New York state; this individ- ual is considered to be one of the clev- ar-kind but came to the conclusion the "green good's man" knew a thing or two. The Exchange hotel, under Ina,nagement of Mr Swarts, is one of the best conducted houses in the -county; and sis - equipped -lei th all -mo- dern conveniences. Mr W. McQuar- rie is in town; Will is on the editoral staff of the Toronto Globe, and has many friends here. The caretaker of the Public school receives theenormous sum of 80 cents a day for twelve hours' work; the school board should econo- mize in some other way, and pay the janitor a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. A travelling evangelist had large crowds to hear him on the street corner Sunday evening; he told the people what the good book contained, and entreated them to be ready to ride in the golden chariot when it de- scended to the beautiful city, where there was no more sorrow, or no more pain; the crowd was considerably af- fected with the preacher's words, and good will be the result. It is reported Mr Walter Scott will return to town and take a share in the Union factory; Mr Scott will be welcomed here. We hope to report a wedding next week— one of Wingham's most accomplished young ladies is about to take another name. Contractor Kerr fainted when the news reached him the bank build- ing was burning; we sympathize with i Mr Kerr, as he s an honest, upright citizen, had his little all in the con- struction of the building. Wingham wants a well regulated fire department, captained by cool-headed men; it is said the firemen were so excited when they seen smoke, they dropped the hose in amazement and rushed for the street; the damage would have amounted to mere nothing had there been some one of judgment to act at the commencement of the blaze.
