Again the young hero appeared on the surface with Roy still firmly clasped and with a faint cry for help, again the twain sank to pass together to the home beyond. James it is stated was a strong swimmer and could undoubtedly have saved him- self but with the firmness of manliness he held fest the baby of the family and thus met a martyr's death. The death of Jas. Nowell shows that heroes are still in our midst, for it was the act of a hero to leap into lake Duron to save his brother's life, and it was heroism itself to continue to hold the loving burden, when such continuance meant death. The young hero and little Roy were placed iu the grave on Friday, but we think that for many years to come the mothers of Goderich will relate to their chil- dren the noble death of Jas. Howell. .µ Goderich The Todman is at the Island for repairs. Mr. Harry Donagh has returned home .after a lengthy visit to the North Weet. Tete' Schooner Todman, Capt.

Dr. Shannon was early in attendance and set the fracture. a EXAMINATION RESULT. The examinations are known as university matriculation both pass and honor, senior and junior leaving examinations and the prim ary examination. These technical designations, however, are not veru familiar to the public, so it may be explained that the primary corresponds to the old third-class certificate ; the junior leaving takes the place of the old second-class, and is almost coextensive with }ass matriculation, while the senior leaving is the equivalent of the former first class, and is practically identical with honor matriculation. The passing of any of these exam- inations dues not entitle the stud- ent to a professional teacher's certi- ficate ; to become a pedagogue it is necessary to spend a term at the Model School or the School of Peda- gogy, as the case may be. Pupils whose names donot appear in this list, and who think they have been un- fairly omitted, may appeal to the Department of Education on or be- fore September 15 No 9G, CLINTON Primary —M.

His funeral was a large one notwithstanding the busy season of the year, and shows the respect and esteem in which he was held by the entire community. IIe leaves a widow and t,velve of a family, 7 sons and 5 daughters, nearly all grown up, to mourn his lose ; to whom with all others in like man• ner deprived of a father, we would say our heavenly father is too wise to err,too good to be unkind and he doeth all things well, and has prom- ised to be a father to the fatherlese and a husband to the widow. g.uost. of Mr•.s..Dr. Sta,lltury.

Beim a general civic holiday for Goderich and Seaforth, which Sea• forth took great advai?tnge of and made the dust fly in Bayfield. Every tub that went by the name of a row boat was in constant use, and the sail boats Daisy and Dauntless were busily .plying back and forth under a gentle breeze with a merry throng. In honor of this day the colora were flying before the wind on the heights by the River hotel. There is no dust on Seaforth or its good people.' Bayfield's civic holiday will like- ly amount to a self -combined ex- cursion to Goose Isle on the beauti- ful waters to,..Cow Bay by the latest equipped end fastest sailing boat on the l-ator, the steamer Maryann- Coosenamx of the D. M. Co. of free exportation. The music on this grand occasion will be furnished by Bayfield's well-known Glee Club and the Rooney Chesnut string band.

Edwards Co. will be on hand with a pumpkin stand and bean stalk and will measure off yards of ice cream without cost. Thoeo who aro interested in Bay - field's civic, had better call after the steamer leaves in case she may be crowded. Don't miss the biggest event of the season. We are informed on what seems good and direct authority that the mention under Bayfield last week, referring to Captain Jowett, is not correct. It is quite true The Daisy was out in a squall, but on this oc- casion as well as all others, Mr. Jowett has manned his boat with the knowledge of a worthy seaman and has always exercised the great- est care for passengers and excur- sionists. This explanation is made in justice to Mr. Jowett.—ED1TOn. Goderich Township In some sections of this town- ship harvesting was completed on Friday last.

On Tuesday the town wt traded by an excursion part :t ten up by the Clinton Organ Co. Six coaches, well laden with pleasure seekers, arrived at 10:20. Tuesday was civic holiday in Blyth and a num- ber from that town joined theparty, as well as others from Wingham and Lucknow. The Clinton band headed the procession up town. The Daunt. less lacrosse boys were driven in carriages to the Morgan House where they "put up" for the day. The Clinton Organ works is a tom-. paratively new industry, but it is fast extending its business. Clinton, by the way, has two such industries, the one mentioned above, and the Doherty Organ Works. The great event of the day took place in Landsdowne Park in the afternoon -a lacrosse match be- tween the Dauntless and the Hust- lers. The Dauntless boys are fine strong, athletic fellows and the r'o suit of the match, 4 to 1 in favor of Kincardine, was no more a surprise to them than it was to Kincordine. The playing was fast and furious, even rough at times --yet not once was the a cry of foul. It came ofl with no "kicking" whatever -some- thing unusual in such a game. The first goal was scored for Kincardine in 10 minutes, second by Clinton in 5 minutes, third by Kincardine in 12 minutes; fourth by Kincardine in 14 seconds ; "lif11I by Kincardine itt 20 minutes. - Mr. George Blatchford, one., of the members of the Clinton Orga Co. desires to thank the people of Kincardine for their hearty reception and hospitable treatment of the ex- cursionists. They left at 8 p. m. well pleased with the town, the day, the Kin, cardineites and themselves, and promising another visit here before long. David Kennedy and 0. S. Doan were among the excursionists and under the chaperonage of their old friend, James Henderson, they were shown the town. Mr. Doan has been 35 years in Clinton but Tuesday he cast his eyes upon Kincardine for the first time. We were sorry to hear he is a Grit but Mr. Kennedy says he is a very decent fellow all the same. David Dickinson was a member of the party too. Nicholas Macavoy escorted his friend Ed. Sanders around town They were callers ot the Review den; Mr. J. W. Irwin, an old Kincar.. dineite, shook hands with many friends here on Tuesday. Messrs. Cole and Bowers became so much attached to Kincardine that they could not leave until next, morning. They all behaved themselves as becometh ladies and gentlemen and returned to their homes quite happy.

After doing a job or two and tilling hitt• self with l'quor Chief \\'neatly ordered "Slim Jim" to clove ou and .he moved out of town. NEWSPAPi:R lHOf,UOAl'y.—\\-e SOO by Iluron and adjoining county exchanges that it[e"uumlydyi• of news- paper wren who suspend publtcatiou for a week for a holiday are un the increase. Probably the newspaper business is the hardest work in any section and we see no reason why they should net find relief for a week and return to labor for the community in which they reside even harder than ever. The laws of nature demand rest and reorea-• tion at certalu intervals. CONCERT. — THE NEWS—RECORD will have the programmes out by Saturday for the 1'resbyterftru Choir Concert. Judging by the great number taking part, it will uncuea- tiu'tab!y be a good concert.
