MR MCMILLAN IN THE WEST. - Among the many who paid the World office a call last week was an old-time friend of '59-60, John McMillan, the staunch and trusted Liberal represent- ative in the Commonfor South Huron, Ont., who is making a tour of this Province and the Northwest. Mr McMillan is a thoroughly representa- tive farmer, and when he addresses the Commons on matters relating to agriculture and the National Policy as it affects the farmer, he leaves but little to be said by his opponents. He is in every sense of the term a self- made man, and is .regarded by his fellowmembers in the Commons as one of the most upright and conscientious men in the House. Helis a practical as well as a successful farmer, having resided in Hullett township for many years. His knowledge of rural affairs is so great that he has repeatedly oc- cupied positions of trust for the Mow- at Government. in collecting informa- tion bearing upon agriculture. He re- presents a constituency second to none in the Dominion in point of intelli- gence and progressive ideas. He is a warm advocate for enlarged trade re- lations with the United States and an unswerving advocate for a continu- ance of the connection which binds Canada to the mother land. An in- telligent and a liberal reciprocal trade policy he believes yet will be carried between the two nations on the North American continent. Being.a practi- cal man, shrewd, far-seeing and a —thorough logician as -well -as a -politic- ian, he takes no stock in the Imperial federation or similar fads, and asserts that unless freer trade is established between Canada and the United States a reduction in the Canadian tariff by a gradual process is the only remedy or salvatron for a change for t1bhtt51t the condition nf the adian farmers. Mr McMillan is mak- ing copious notes of his travels and observations, which he intends utiliz- ing hereafter. He has met many old friends in this city and Province. He went over to Nanaimo; thence he goes to Victoria, and back here early in the week, where he will remain a day or snbefore leaving. for the east. He re- gards the construction of the Cana- dian Pacific through the Rockies, the Selkirks and the coast ranges, as the greatest achievement of the.century, and a work of which every Canadian should be proud. -Vancouver, B.

MEMORIAL. -The me-Mori:1,1 service last Sabbath thorn ing,'Iri 13riek church, was an affecting service. The church was full, showinwesteem of the late young man and sympathy for the friends. The pastor, Rev J. H. Dyke, preached from 1 Cor., 3, 21,22. The sermon was timely and the marked at- tention given, showed high apprecia- tion of the thoughts presented.

Duarn.-The death of Mrs John Currie was a surprise to a great many of her friends although at the age of 86, as she had always been very healthy. Since her husband's death she remain- ed the greater part of the time with her son Joseph, where she was at the time of her death, She was an earnest and devoted Christian, being a member of Sharon Methodist church from the time of its origin till death called her spirit away. Her remains were inter- red in Goderich cemetery, where a large number followed them to their last resting plate.

Picnics, which haye been all summer daily occurrences at the park, are now a rare thing; Hayfield has been this season the popular rendez- vous of all classes and communities PERSONALS.- Mx Thos King and wife left on Saturday to take in the Western fair at London; they will visit with friends at Ilderton on the way.. Messrs Harry Erwin and J.W. Cook are enjoying themselves at the London fair this week. Mr Thomas Pollock, who has been away for some time, is here on a visit at present. Miss Nellie King has gone to visit friends in Palmerston. Mr Frank Edwards returned on Thursday from a trip to Toronto and London. Miss C. McKenzie is visiting friends in Lon- don this week and attending the fair. Mr John Esson returned on Saturday from a four weeks' visit to his daugh- ter, Mrs Elliott, of Nairn. Mr Charles Falconer is recovering from 'a very severe attack of inflammation of the bowels. AT THE SToRES.-Bayfield has al- ways had the reputation of being a - very advantageousplace for the far- mers to barter their produce and to obtain all the ordinary necessities of life, but this fall opens with more in- ducements than ever. The price that s offered in the larger towns for the ti produce of the farm is given here, while the keen competition carried on at present in almost every line, forces the merchants of Hayfield to give their goods at a small profit. About a year ago Mr John Fraser started a general store and now we are pleased to say has a large share of the trade. Mr Fraser had hardly entered theatil- lage before he was elected a member of the council, so quickly did the citi- zens recognize the usefulness of the services of an honest and persevering business man. Mr John Whiddon started a grocery and flour and feed store some years ago, ancrencoura,geci by -the confidence which was freely placed in him he first added the de- partment of boots and shoes, and now this season opefis out with another ad- dition in the shape of dry goods. This last department will, no doubt, be giv- en as much careful attention as the others. H. F. Edwards, who some years ago bought out the stock of Robt Morrison, has always kept a neat and tastefully decorated general store. It has long been felt that some one in Hayfield should go into the tin busi- ness. and Mr Edwards has filled this need by getting in a large stock of tin ware this summer. And yet we sometimes bear that Hayfield is on the retrogrde movement. Surely the pro- gress of the above stores alone during the past year would give a different impression. , • St. Helens. NOTES. -Rev Mr Anderson and sister are attending the "Pan Presbyterial Cou ncil in Toronto," also Mr Gordon. Miss Nellie Curran left last week for Detroit, where she intends residing for the present. Miss Campbell, who has been visiting her friends in this locality, left for her home in Whitby last week. Mrs Thos Todd and Miss Charlotte are attending the London Exhibition. Among those who were at the Toronto exhibition from this vicinity were, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr and Miss Mc- Pherson, Mr Weatherhead and Miss Humphrey. Mr Adam Gordon has re- turned from his trip to Guelph, Toron- to and other places, looking the better of his rest. Dame rumor says a wed- ding or two will take place before a very great while. In the absence of Mr Anderson a union service of the English church and Presbyterian con- gregations will be held in Calvin's church, on Sabbath next, 25th inst., at 3 p.m., when Rev Mr Conndt, incum- bent of Christ's church, will officiate. A happy' event took place on the 12th inst.:, when Mr John Webster and Miss Lorma Humphrey were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, by the Rev R. St G. Anderson; we, wish the -newly wedded pair a happy, rind prosperous married life. • Cents in adVande Vvillpay for 2 ,. the er•torOU NEW Ennio*, the balanee Of thia , Year Leeburn Picwio.-A Sunday school picnic was held on the grounds of John Hor- ton, on Monday afterneon, a good number of children were present and numerous games were enjoyedfor a tinae, then& huge pie was -brought out and a good discussion held as to what it was made off. Then "10" the pie was opened and out flew (not black- birds) a good sized chicken, which was awarded to the one who could catch it. Tea was then served after which a good tug of war was had and other games till the evening grew cold, when all disperfSed having -had a good time. It was regretted that more of the tea- chers and parents were not present. SOCIAL. -On account of the heavy rain storm on Thursday evening, the social, got up by the congregation as a good-bye to our young pastor,. was not largely attended. Those who did get out spent a very pleasant evening. After all had done ample justice to the good things provided and social jokes exchanged an adjournment was made to the hall, where a good pro- gram was rendered. A scotch reading was given by Mr F. Blair, of Goderich, which convulsed the audience with laughter, and the singing and mouth organ music by J. G. Anderson (our pastor) was very much enjoyed; in- strumental selections were given by Miss N. Clark, also a solo by Miss E. Horton and H. B. Horton. Mr And- erson addressed the audience with a few parting words in which he said his sojourn here had been a very plea- sant one. After singing the Good old Friends, the meeting was closed. CHURCH. - A large congregation gathered on Sunday to hear our young pastor for the last time, before leaving again for college. His discourse was founded on the ark built by Noah, under God's directions, and was a very impressive one as he urged those who had not yet /entered the ark of safety through Jesus Christ to do so be- fore it was too late. The congregation here will always have a pleasant re- membrance of Mr Anderson, and their good wishes be with him wherever his effort to serve the Master lead him. NOTES. -It is ' expected that Mr A. •i el-laffy, a student, will be with us for the next two Sundays. While at- tending the Social on Thursday even- ing a couple of young ladies had their horse tied to a tree in John Horton's orchard, but when wanted it could not be found, the snap in the tie line hav- ing give way; after a fruitless search through orchard and garden the girls started home; the horse and rig were found shortly afterwards by a young man in the corn patch, with the buggy cover badly bent, but no further dam- age. The gospel temperance meeting, on Sunday evening, was well attended; an excellent address was given by Mr McMath, of Goderich; these meetings will be continued still another month. Mr John Horton visited his brother, Harry, of Toronto last week, and took in the exhibition, returning on Sat- urday. Zurich. NOTES. - Mr Dan McCormick, of Detroit, has moved,.into the house re- cently vacated by Mrs Lippert. Mr H. Magel, our enterprising livery man, badmen employed putting anew roof on his stables last week. Mr N. Deic- hert, of Clinton, paid his parents and friends of the village a visit on Sun- day last. Mr A. Weseloh, of Hensall, was visiting at his brother's, Mr John Weseloh, of this place on Sunday. Mr Charles Bossenberry, of Hensall, -was-the guest of Mr D. Gottchaik,-on Sunday. Miss A. Brenner, of this place, left for St Thomas on Monday, where she intends to work. Miss Eliza Deichert and Mary Wurm, who were visiting their parents and friends here for the last few months, returned to Detroit on Tuesday _jast MrFred Hess, our enterprising carriage and waggon maker, managed to carry away eight first and two special prizes at the Hensall fair last week; this speaks well of Mr Hess, as there Nc ere rigs from different towns on exhibition. Quite a number of our village people are atterjding the Western fair at London this week. Mr Phippen, of Parkhill, has opened a photo studio upstairs in Mr H. Well's furniture, or- gan and harness shop; Mr Phippen comes well recommended, and we be- lieve is giving good satisfaction. Summerhill. NOTES. -There was no service in the church here last Sunday, the' Rev. Mr. Dehil being at Hyde Park officiating; Trite a number took advantage of the circumstances and went to Clinton to listen to Mr Craig's farewell sermon. On Sunday the25th inst., there will be ,a thanksgiving service held here, the Rev Mr Newton, of Hayfield, will assist in the service and preach the sermon. Miss Annie Langford, of Kincardine, has been visiting friends in this vicin- ity lately. Rumor announces a wed- ding not far from here, ere long. The contest in the temperance lodge is go- ing on at present and is likely to prove interesting; the sides are captained by Messrs R. Draper and W. Lowery. On Saturday last while Mr J. Weir was moving his engine from Mr J. Smith's to R. Thompson's, the horses took fright at the escaping steam and ran away, but luckily they kept the road and were stopped before any damage was done. Stephen. AccinENT. - Oa Wedaesday, 14th inst., Granger Glanville, son of R.

FAIR. -The second annual fall fair of Hensall Dominion Agricultural So- ciety was held here on Thursday and Friday; of last week. The weather was all that could be desired, the first day of the show Mr Coxworth's large skat- ing rink seemed alive with exhibitors bringing in the various articles for ex- hibition and by merchants of oux village making exhibition of their var- ious wares, which it is not necessary to particularize, as all were commend- able -we also noticed Mr Emmerson, of Clinton, who exhibited two very fine pianos. In the ladies department the show was large and good, giving the judges difficulty in selecting the most meritorious articles. In fruit the exhibit was large and thequality much better than we anticipated seeing, whilst in roots, which was not expect- ed to be equal to former shows in point of quality, was fully up to the mark, though the quantity was not so large. One side of the rink was full of carri- ages, which for elegance and I' ish, surpassed anything we had previously seen. OnFriday, the second day of the fair, from early morning till late in the afternoon, crowds from the sur- rounding countryand neighboring villages kept pouring into the village, till we had, perhaps, the largest crowd ever assembled in Hensall at one time. The outside exhibit Ivas much larger than last year. The heavy horses were particularly fine, and the numberlarge, whilst in carriage horses, there were some fine specimens shown. In cattle, sheep and lugs the show was up to the mark, both in quantity and quality. We noticed that Mr "Wm. Lammie had*on exhibition a machine for weaving wire fences, which seemed to be quite an attraction to the farmers. Music AND Fuw.-The concert, in Coxworth's hall, on Friday evening last, under the management of Pro- fessor Scott, of Wingham, left nothing to be desired in the way of a bright and enjoyable entertainment When the hour for opening arrived the hall was packed, many havipg to go away unable to find seats. The program was excellent and was well sustained throughout, there was not a weak part in it. The fun of the entertainment was supplied by Sim Fax, who is a master in his line. If there were any present suffering from the blues or indigestion, we venture to say they were quite relieved before the second half of the program. If you have nev- er laughed all the way down to your •boots.;'welli-just,lsear Sina Farr- the versability of his geuius was well brought out in "A day at the Circus," and 'He didn't split the wood." The musical part was left to Professor Scott, whose rich tenor voice lends a new charm to the "auld Scotch songs," and Miss Kate Strong and Emma Whelpley. of Toronto. Miss Strong was the star of the evening and fully sustained the enviable reputation she bears as a vocalist; she possesses a voice of remarkable compass and vol- ume, which she controls with ease and effect, which together with her fault- -less articulation and pleasing manner renders her an artist of great promise. The instrumentals by Miss Whelpley were very milli appreciated by the audience, while her singing of "Bar- bara Frietchie" showed that she was possessed of a sweet and well cultivat- ed voice. These ladies AppearecLaa, strangers r bRoin a 'Irensall addlenee, but "will ye no come back again" was the sentiment of every heart present at the close of the entertainment. • Kippen • • INTERESTING EVENT.- Kippen has this season suffered the loss of several of its most interesting and popular young ladies by marriage, and one of the most estimablo and amiable of these young ladies was the one who on Wednesday last took her departure from our midst as the wife of an able and promising young Methodist min- ister. We refer to Miss Fanny Ivason, fourth daughter of Mr W. Ivason. The event took place at the home of the bride's father, in theipresence of a number of friends, the cereemony being performed by Re*. R. C. Menders, assisted by the Rev. E. A. Fear, of Nile. The groom is Rev. R. H. Barn- aby, of Tiverton, and he has secured as his life partner onewho is admirably adapted for her new sphere and well - fitted to help him in his ministerial calling, she having been one of the most zealous and useful members of the Methodist Church in this place. We join in wishing them the richest blessings that life and happiness can confer. Ashfield. . NOTES. -Rev.

Perry, roadmaster on the C. P. R., had been drowned in the Bow river below Konanaskis falls. In company with Mr J. B. Kelly he took yester- day's morning express to spent a few days in fishing. They took with them a canvas boat, and in the morning they started to launch below the fills. Mr Perry entered the boat first, and as Mr Kelly was getting in, the frail craft was propelled into the stream. Mr Perry called out that he would take the boat round the bend and there take his comrade on. Mr Kelly then ran over to the point, but when he arrived could see nothing of the boat or its occupant. He waited for some time and began a search, but al- though parties were out all day yester- day nothing could be found of the missing man. He came from Clinton, Ont., some years ago, and, had held important railway positions both in Montreal and Toronto, and Mr Perry was educated in the University of that city. -[It is thought that a mistake is made in mentioning Clinton as his former home, as no such person is re member as having resided here.] W. C. T. JJ. BENEFIT CONCERT. -The • pelting storm of, last Thursday night no doubt prevented many people from enjoying the W.C.T.U. benefit concert, yet a good audience greeted the young performers in spite of the unfavorable • weather, and those who turned out in the face of the storm were richly re- paid for their bravery. Miss Harriet Mae Sibley, a graduate of the Detroit Training School of Elocution. is gifted with rare elocutionary powers, and is perfectly at home in the recital of either the humorous or the emotional. Her manner is so graceful, and her From so natural and entirely free from the "stagey" quality that mars even the best efforts of many elocu- tionists, that her audience was atonce- - placed at perfect ease, and enabled to enter fully into the spirit of each re- cital, and enjoy it completely.

The musical part of the admirable program was conducted by the accomplished Miss Hally. E. Cornbe, undergraduate of the Toronto Conser- vatory of Music. The seleiations were such as called forth the powers of the real musician, and Miss Combe dis- • played these powers in a high degree.
