Farmers see them. East Wawanosh. NOTES. -Mrs 'Sumner, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs Odell, and family, spent last week visiting in the Scott an McGowan settlements. We are sorry to learn that Wm. McDonell, of Blyth, is dead; he formerly resided on the Oth con. of East Wawanosh, on the farm now occppied by his son John. Threshing machines are scarce this year, consequently a great deal of stacking had to be done. Mr John Coultes, sr., has purchased from Thos. Ross a yearling colt that tips the beam at 1000 pounds; Mr C. is bound to have good horses. R. B. McGowan was the recipiqnt of a handsome present last week, Mrs R. B. presenting him with a young daughter; Robert feels quite consequential over the increased re- sponsibility placed upon his shoulders. Mrs James Archibald (nee Miss M. Mc- Gaw) was -visiting at Mr Sam. Fell's a few days last week; she formerly taught in S. S. No. 3, for four years, and many of her former pupils were happy in renewing the acquaintance and friendship formed so long ago. Porter's Hill. Noma. ---Mr A. McPhail is home on a visit; he is looking hale and hearty. BRAVE YOUNG LADIES. - Many a man gives it as his excuse for not get- ting married, that it is such a leap in the dark, and the chances of getting a good wife are so small. This excuse may do in some places, but not in our part of Si oderich township, as the fol- lowing incident will go far to prove. Last Friday, after all the mu. had left the homestead, to go to a neighber's -threshingssit .13egap to look very much like rain, the oats were reada-tago in, - the horses standing in the stable un- harnessed, and the three sisters stood at the window in the house, all these facts quickly passing through their minds. They had never harnessed a team in their lives, and, besides, aft er they were harnessed, there was the waggon to be backed down the steep gangway of the barn. The clouds grew darker, and the sound of distant thun- der seemed to emphasize the necessity for speedy action,if the oats were to be saved. After holding a hasty consul- tation, the sisters decided to make the attempt, in spite of all difficulties, and to their credit be it reported, they actually harnessed the team and drew in four large loads, without a single mishap of any sort. The men who leap thwwill--not leap -in -the dark - and all must admit they are sterling young ladies. Blyth NARROW ESCAPE. -The other day as Mr John Moines was coining round by the woollen mill with a load of empty. barrels, one of them became loose, kl.r Manes went to fix it, when the horses deliberately walked into theditch, up- setting the load. The only damage was a few broken barrels. OIPSY SOCIAL -The happy Glean- ers, of St. Andrews church, will camp on the church grounds on Wednesday evening, Sept. 7th. An excellent pro- gram, consisting of music, readings and recitations, will be rendered dur- ing; the evening, in the basement. Refreshments will be served from 7p. m. to Sp. ni. Ice cream and lemonade can be procured. Blyth Concert Band (18 pieces) will give selections during the evening; don't Lilies his novel treat. DEATH. -It is our painful duty to chronicle the death of Mr James Bee- croft, which sad event took place at the residence of Mr Jas Sloyd. The deceased was a young man of about twenty, in the employ of Mr T. Arm- strong (farmer.) He complained of feeling weak about ten days before, and on the summoning of medical aid, it was found that inflammation of the bowels was the cause of his sickness. All that medical aid could do for him was done, but to no avail, he gradual- ly grew weaker until on Thursday last, he passed away. His remains were taken home for burial. The high esteem in which he was held was shown by the large number which at- tended the funeral. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family. THINGS WE mav Loox FOR. -Electric lights.

COUNcIL.-A meeting of the council was held on Monday last, chiefly for the purpose of making estimates of moneys required for the current expen- ses of the year. The rate for the town- ship will be three tenths of a mill lower than for the past few years, and as the county requires $4000 from this muni- cipality the county rate will have to be higher by at least one-tenth of a mill. The total school taxes for the town- ship is $4107, being a little lower than last year; the estimated requirments by the trustee board of each school section ale as follows: -For S.S.

B. of oronto, occtipied the pulpit of 'St: Ardrews church. He took for his text the words "Christ is all and in all," and in a clear and eloquent dis- course laid the exposition of the,. pas- sage before the congregation. Mr Turnbull has been cottaging here for a little over a month and has been greatly recuperated by the healthful lake breezes. He returned on Monday by way of Exeter, to resume his duties in the city. SILVER SIPTINGS.-A photographer from London has been taking views of the beautiful scenery round. here, A large crowd consisting of three pic- nics from Clinton, Varna and Egmond- vine occupied Prospect park on Fri- day. There was no service at the Methodist church on Sabbath morning last. Well, well, did you see the Clin- ton News Record crawl under Jow- ett's barn last week, and there with up -raised arms and .petitioning voice, eat humble picnic pie; "We won't do it any more." We understand that Mr John Ferguson has recently pur- chased a two -masted schooner at Port Albert; he intends to bring her to Bityfield as soon as possible. The fol- lowing lines are handed us as an ex- ample of how a pumpkin -head may be turned into a certain class of corre- spondent:- Edward had a pumpkiu, Large and round; So the Record man has said, True and sound, But he hasn't got it now Stranget and queer!

F. ully, wife and family, of Mitchell, who have been camping some six weeks on a beautiful spot near Mr Jewett's grove, pulled stakes on Wed- nesday and left for home. During this time both Mr Tully and family have made many friends by. their geniality. At the close of a delight- ful sermon, on Sabbath morning, in St. Andrews church, Mr Tully said, "In closing, you will kindly excuse a few words of a personal nature. It is now five Sabbaths that I have occu- pied your pulpit, and upon this, the last occasion, I take the opportunity, to thank the people of Bayfield for the uniform kindness with which myself and family have been treated. I have greatly enjoyed this visit to your very pratty,xesort and in parting, cherish the hope that my- liiimble efforts nray have some fruitful appreciation by the audiences which I have addressed." The church was crowded and every one was very sorry that the call of duty urged the return of the eloquent and genial Mitchell pastor so salon. A MYsTanious DEATH. -As we were closing our budget last week we heard the incomplete report of the death of ,Mrarhos Burgess, son of Mr and Mrs Burgess, of town. We then stated that was Thos Martendale, son of Mrs Burgess, and that he had been drowned on the lakes, but further in- quiry revealed a somewhat different story. It appears Mr Burgess was running a boarding-house down south, in_partner hi with one of those treach- erous sou heners, The aUkicans, and went on a business' trip across the country, accompanied by a friend of his partner. This man tells the story that he took very sick. on the banks of the Artificial river, in which his body was afterwards found, that he re - meted' to- go' 'for a doctor and that this request was granted. But when he got back to town the Mexi- can told him that Tom would be all right without medical aid, no that he did not get any, nor did he return to the sick man. After several weeks had elapsed suspicion was aroused that there had been foul play., an'd after some search the body was found in the river. The man's story is not believed, and the officials are investigating the whole case with the idea that the Mexican partner has had a guilty hand in Burgess' death. PERSONAL. -Mr Thos S. Challoner, of London, is the guest of Mr H. F. Edwards at present. Messrs Tamblyn and Foot, of London, rode up to town on their bicycles one day last week.

Mr Murch has been offered the school he formerly taught in Hullett, and he intends re- moving part of his family to Clinton, where he will reside. Ma Murch has executed his duties in connection with the school here faithfully, and has be- come highly respected, and will no doubt be much missed from our midst. CLOSE CALL. -What might have been another "almost fatal accident," hap- pened to Mr W. H. Lobb the other day.

KIND WORDS. -The following com- plimentary remarks were received from the Rev J. S. Fisher, of Atwood; late of Holmesvillm-Enclosed find one dot - lar to renew my subscription for your highly valued paper. The Naw ERA1 which keeps us well posted in the local. news of Huron; yop are to be congrat- ulated on your success in keeping up the interest so well year after year. We are comfortably settled on our new circuit prospects are encouraging; wishing you success and prosperity. Rev A. E. Smith, of Moorefield, who was also at one time stationed at Holmesville, says: -"I can say for your encouragement that I have never had a newsier, cleaner secular paper in my , house,and wish you continued success." EXCITEMENT IN APPLES. -The apple shippers are making things lively through the length and breadth of the country, says the Montreal Gazette, every section where apples are grown being invaded by scores of buyers who have forced apples up to $1.75 per bbl. for fruit on the trees. Some of the Montreal shippers are contracted for what they want in the vicinity of $1.25. One western man who repre- sents a London house is said to have already secured 100,000 bbls. Some- body will, no doubt, be sorry for what they are now doing before the winter sets in, as there is every reason to be- lieve that the English market is not high enough at any rate to make mo- ney on fruit costing $1.75 in the or- chards. •The following cable was re- ceived from London by the agent of a' large English house: -"Be careful; no speculation; results he disastrous; con- tinental crop 'much larger that re- ported." UNIVERSITY lIoNons.-lt ought to be at all times pleasing to record the honorable achievements of those who live in the same community With uti.: asi Unfortunately those who triumph in sports and other mere physical exer- cises too often receive more prominent notice than those who distinguish themselves in the higher sphere of the • intellectual. It becomes the citizens - of Clinton and this community to unite - in celebrant -rig the high honors won by -77 Miss N. Combo and Mr Rob Coats, at the recent University examinations._ Miss Combe succeeded in taking first- class honors in English, French, Ger- man, history and geography, and a scholarship in modem, which her to three years free tuition and $80 in cash. Miss Combe received her training at the Clinton Collegiate and Goderich High School, having spent the last year at the latter school. Mr Coats succeeded in taking first-class honors in classics and English, stand- ing well in each departmenta When it is considered that at the time of IA examination he had not reaJched his 18th year of age, we may bo safe in predicting that there are higher honors still in store for one so young and pro- mising. Mr Coats received -hia train- ing at the Clinton Collegiate. We ex- tend our hearty congratulations to Miss Combe and Mr Coats, and to the teachers who have prepared them for so honorable a standing. DOHERTY ORGAN FACTORY NOTES.— A A new department has been added to the alrbady complete system :it the: organ factory, in the shape of sharp making machinery, with , Mr Wm.
