Shilton at Walkerton, on Thursday evening, was a pleasant affair; he and his es- teemed wife being made to feel perfect- ly at home. Rev. E. E. Scott, who became pastor of Parkdale Methodist church, on Sun- day, was formerly a baker in Gode- rich, and helped in revival services in Clinton during the winter of 1889. The other day one of the elders of 4,TJnion Church, Brucefield, handed the , Rev. J. H. Simpson a letter, which he found to contain the sum of $30, a do- nation by the ladies, towards making his vacation pleasant. The reception tendered the Rev. J. W. Holmes and family, on Thursday evening, was a cordial manifestation of good• will, and was largely attended. Short addresses were made by Mr ' Holmes, Mr Smyth and W.R. Lough. In writing to a friend Rev. E. Medd, of Harrow, a native of Hullett, says: -- "I have graduated, taking the degree of Pa.

The Goderich'band - will be present, and every effort put forth to make the oc- caSion pleasant to all. • Rev. Mr Hutton,ofKirkton, former - 1y of Goderich, in delivering his lecture on "Love, Courtship and Marriage," recently caused quite a flutter amongst bis lady hearers by the statement that after delivering the lecture on his own circuit, he had twelve weddings in the next twelve months. 1 There was a large turnout at the 'Hawn social. on Tuesday evening, on the grounds of Mr John Gibbings, and everybody present seemed to thorough- ly enjoy themselves. A formal pro- gram was dispensed with, the excellent music of the Goderich band (led by Charlie Blackstone) being all that was considered necessary. The proceeds amounted to over $50, and were on be half of the Y.P.S.C.E: r' THE JEws.—Mr Griess, a, converted' Jewish Rabbi, of New York, gave an address in Perrin's Hall, on Tuesday evening, on "the Jews." He spoke for about an hour and a half, and gave an interesting address on the condition of the Jew, past and present. He also lectured on Wednesday evening: Wingham FASHIONABLE WEDDING AT WING- Bem.—The Methodist Church was the scene of a very pretty wedding, Wednesday morning, when Florilla C., eldest daughter of F. G. Sparling, Esq., of the firm of Gray, Young & Sperling, Salt Manufacturers, was united in marriage .to Wm. T. J. Homuth, of J. J. Homuth & Son, merchants of Wingham. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. 5, Sellery, 13. A., assisted by Rev. E. ,Pierson, B. D., in the presence of the immediate relatives and friends of both parties, as well as an interested company of spectators. The wedding march was played by the orchestra, led by Mr J. A. Morton, as the bride entered the church, and was given away by her father. She was becomingly attired in a rich dress of white conic silk, trimmed with honi- ton lace and pearls, wore the usual bridal' veil and orange blossoms, and carried a white Bible. She was attend- ed by her sister, Miss Louise, who wore pale blue plan de soil and carried white roses, also Miss Homuth, sister of the groom, who wore buttercup surah and carried yellow roses. The groom was supported be Mr C. Sherriff, of Toron- to, and Mr H. S. Young, of Blyth, cousin of the bride. The ushers were Mr C. W. Papst, of Seaforth, and Mr M. H. Mclndoos, Winggham. After the ceremony, the wedding party and guests retired to "Woodlands," the handsome residence of the bride's father, where the wedding. breakfast was served. The happy couple left by the C.P.R. on the 230 tr ain for Montre- al, 011awa, Quebec and other eastern points, amid showers of rice, old boots and congratulations. The presents were numerous and costly, among thein might be mentioned a boudoir gr'slide plarfo; 'the 'giffi, of,•the bride's father, Mr and Mrs Hoinuth , return taken their residence id W ngham, and will be at home after August lst, at ''Maple Shade" eofnela,Tohn and Shutter streets.

During the afternoon, the day being warns, bathing Was indulged in by some; and shortly atter the eldest sun of Mr Homer, Andrews, Charlie, a bright; promising boy of nearly eight years, concluded he wouldy go in the water, All rest af,tha. . party, ex- cept a youngr ch idinwere 'a short distance away, and the little fellow had barely got into the water before he seemed to be drawn by the current be- neath a fallen tree, where he sank. Not coming to the surface, his cousin ran and gave the alarm, and Dane Sp Lr - ling dove in after hitrr, making three attempts before he reached him, "anti, the child was taken from the water in less than ten minutes afterhe had gone in, but all efforts to restore him to consciousness failed, and with sad- dest of hearts those w c. had gone out in the morning so fu of bright ex- pectant hopes of pleas re, came back with lamentations of m urning. Very great sympathy was anifested for the afflicted family, by oth old and young, and touching trib tes of affec- tion, in the shape of beaut ful boquets, expressed feelings of love more than words could. The funeral on Monday afternoon was largely attended. On Monday afternoon an accident of even a more tragic character, hap- pened to Miss Jennie Robinson, (eldest Laughter of the late Wm. Robinson) just on the western `out skirts of the town, whereby she lost her life. Her brother Will had been to town, and had just driven inside the yard, when the horse became restless, and he caught it by the head, It continued to plunge and rear, and Miss Robin- son, who was gathering flowers with a friend, and seeing, as she thought, her brother in danger of being tramp- led on, said "Will, I can hold hairs by the lines," and notwithstanding remonstrance, or not hearing him, sh sprang quickly into the buggy, got the lines and enaeavored to control the horse, but it continued plunging madly across the field toward the stable, carrying the brother at its head for about one hundred feet. when he lost his hold. and the horse dashed around the barn gangway. Just on the other side was a pile of rails, the left wheels of the buggy passing over these and throwing Miss Robinson headfirst out on the right. She was instantly nick- ed up, carried to the house and efforts made to restore her to• consciousness, -hut-without-effect. A- long -ragged gash behind the ear, from which the blood was pouring, seemed to he the most-seiTTotis injury, but- the --doctor who was called, and did all that seemed possible, declared that there was no hope whatever for her recovery, and after about 45 minutes, during which she never recovered consciousness, she passed away. It is supposed that her neck was injured, whit, with the con- cussion of the brain, was the immed- iate cause of death. She was the eldest daughter of the late William Robinson, and has resid- ed in this vicinity all her life. An open-hearted girl, with a generous disposition, she had made many warm friends. For years she has been a member of the Rattenbury St. Metho- dist Church, and she has been true to its teachings and principles, and zeal- ous in advancing its interests. For a considerable length of time she had been a teacher in the Sabbath School, ane President of the Mission Band, and although it was at great personal inconvenience that she discharged the duties pertaining thereto, she was scarcely ever absent from the place of duty. Her loss to the church and Sabbath School is one that can be, to some extent, relieved, but her loss to the home from which she has been taken is irreparable, and great beyond description. Though the way in which she met her death was shocking, her life was altogether such that it may be said "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The funeral services tit the house, on Wednesday, were pain- fully,-iegpressive and sad. After a por- tioniti tscripture had been read by the Rett`- (W. Holmes, the choir of the ch'urrii (of which she was at one time a member) sang the beautiful hymns "Only remembered by what I have done' and "Only a little Way on to nay home," and at the grave the choir sang "The Christian's Good -night." Her coffin bore handsome floi+al tribunes from friendd, and also from those close- ly associated with'her, the members of her Sabbath School class contributing a cross; the mission band a sickle, and the teachers of the school a broken column. A very large number follow- ed her remains to the Cemetery. Less than a year ago her father died. A brother who had been living in the States, was on his way home before the accident happened, and got here Tuesday morning; knowing nothing whatever of the occurrence until he walked into the saddened home. While talking with a friend last win- ter, she expressed the conviction that her death—when it came—would be sudden, little thinking that there would so soon be a realization of that conviction. A memorial service will be held in Rattenbury St. chinch, on Sunday evening next, j Stanley •---- LIGHTNING.—During the tstorm on Sunday evening last. Mr Thos.

DEATHS.—It is with deepest regret we chronicle the death of two of our most respected residenters. On Mon- day last, Mr Alex. Woods, of the 12th con., was in his usual good health up till supper time,`after partaking of that meal he prepared to go to Lucknow, when a severe pain started in his shoul- der, medical attention was at once summoned, when the severity of the case was noticed. Drs. Elliot, Gordon and Tennant being in _attendance, but nothing could be done to keep the fast failing life longer oh earth. He passed peacefully away about 2 o'oclock Satur- day a. m. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him, which was shown by the very large atten- dance, at the funeral on Sunday, at 3 o'clock, for Dungannon cemetry, there being over 200 conveyances present, being the largest funeral ever in these parts before. The deceased leaves a wife and two small children, who with his mother and other relatives, have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. - It might be said,no one will be miss- ed more from these parts than Mrs Asquith, who after only about a week's illness from bilious fever, slept peace- fully away on Friday bight, about 11 o'clock, Bel ng a nurse there is hardly a family in 1 h 'i vicinity, and for sever- al miles aro., Ad, but who can testify to kink and loving care received from the deceased's hands many are the pillows she has smoothed' down for the invalid, and many, the comforting and cheering word -she has given, but while missed by so many what must be the loss of those nearer and dearer ones at home. Mrs Asquith was highly respected and beloved by all who knew her and was a loving and kind wife and mother, she leaves a sorrowing husband and family of seven, who command the sympathy of a very large circle of friends; only two of the family, Mrs Chapman and Mrs McDonald, of St, Thomas, were able to be present at 'this thee; the others are as'followsr---Mrs Hockins, of Utah; Mrs Godske, ot Idaho; Mrs Lun- en, o Mlhnesota; George, the oldest son, also lives in Minnesota' and Wil- lie lives in Utah,It will be remember- ed the youngest son Frank died about two months ago at Pak City, Utah, It is often said .troubltl never comes -e ngly, nor le death any,reapeet- Or of persons, hot , "° n at what iteor 4-,44,0,443.r the r, iitpn b�_e�orwtir fall ae tae , `to At floc come. tc 1><n w tiniely, .rvho ie. at • The ewe of thl4 oold world the mare 'of Reaves), 'The'riot life, the nether iramortalitY'" UR, %V4 +KER'S REPLY TO MR. 1 w " SIMBSON. lie.tl Amp,. pi* Ctiiaton,,i<!'ew IN, . Dear Sir, --In "'PRP , igene of the 23rd June,' 1 untied e, communication from Rev. J. II, Simpson, reputding:the Rnnui*y of the Rev, m. Grabaur,' protesting bisin. nooenoe and ignorance ae to the: source of the information upon which the Commit tee on the Aged and Inilrm Minjstere' fund, acted. in witholding the said annuity. Had I the reverend gentleman bean satisfied with protesting his innocence, I would -not have given his communication more than a pas- ing notice, 'as.. his guilt or innocence isa matter that does not concern me. But I find that he misrepresents the 'interview that took pl.ce between ue,and seeks to leave the impression that I am guilty of a breach of faith in not proving hie innoeenoe l' before the congregation of the late Mr Roes, as he alleges I agreed to do, end further,by the publication of a letter e d avore' to leave the impression that some one, possi- bly myself, has uttered falsehood in stating that I had a letter from the Rev. - Wm. Burns to the effect that the intermation came from Brucefield, 1 am obliged 'in self defence to crave space in your valuable pa. per for a brief etatement of the actual facts, however distasteful ;it is to me to be drag- ged in to a controversery of this kind. Now as to the alleged agreement that I should prove bis innocence, I most emphit- ieally deny that any such agreement ever existed, or that I ever consented to under- take such a task, because my impression then was that the reverend gentleman's own profession of innocence should carry sufficient weight so ensure conviction. However that is a matter as to which he is perhaps the most competent judge, and I can only reiterate what I said to him -on the occasion to which he refers, viz.: "that I hope he is as innocent as he professes to be." Then, as to how the reverend gentleman learned that I had the above mentioned letter' I am totally unaware, as I certainly never informed him or anyone else that I received a letter from the Rev. Wm.Bnrns, or that I had any correspondence with him in the matter. The feet is, that a friend of mine did received a letter from the lat- ter gentlemen stating that the aforesaid information did come from Brucefield, and although the Rev. Mr Burns is literally correct in stating that he is not aware of any communication sent by him to me in the matter, yet he does not venture to deny that he had stated that the said information came from Brumfield, and should your rev- erend correspondent still doubt that such letter exists, I shall be glad to have it pro- duced, and prove even to his satiefaotion that it does contain said statement.
