GENERQIIs,-Ensisn Frazer and wife Conducted the Services in connection with the Salvation Army, on Monday night, During the services Mr S. Hill showed hieenerosity and goodwill by presenting them with $65. MAsoxtc.—On Friday last the follow- ing members of the Masonic Lodge here attended the funeral of Mr Som- erville, Seaforth:—Messrs Paisley, Ken- nedy, Fairlie, Sm th, Doan, Downs, Ryder, Holloway, 13ruce, Todd, Spoon- er and McDonagh. CORRECTION.—In our reference' last week to Miss Ross, of Brucefield, we should have given Mr Geo. Baird, of Stanley, credit for her tuition, she be- ing a pupil ofhis school. Mr Baird has the honor of sending forth ,a very large number of pupils who have dis- tinguished themselves in after life. PRIZE WINNERS.—The closing exer- cises of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege took place on Thursday last. The highest prize, a, gold medal for general proficiency, came to Huron, being won by Mr James Atkinson, of McKillop. Mr Robt. McMurdie, jr., of Kippen won the veterinary science prize in the se- cond year. VILLAINOUS.—Last week a report was in general circulation involving the good name of a married man and woman, which had not a particle of foundation, and could not possibly be true., Whoever originated the report was guilty of villainy of the meanest kind, and evidentally h'td no regard whatever for the feelings of the fatal - lies noncerned. FIN WORK.—The new house of Mr. Thomas Jackson, jr., is being rapidly pushed forward. The material used is a very fine imported red brick, much more expensive than the ordinay brick, because they are "hand finished,' and Mr R. Heywood is making a par- ticularly fine and delicate job of laying them. The mason work is unusually well done, and calls for good judg- ment and mechanical skill. PIPE . ORGAN.—The pipe organ for Rattenbury- St. -Methodist Church' arrived here last week, and is being put in place; the choir loft will be ex- tended out into the church five feet more to accommodate it. The manu- facturer. claims that it is a superb in- strument in every respect, and it will be ready for use by the 16th inst., on which occasion it will be used in the i church services. The intention is to Iiawe.a•graiid Organ Recital the follow- ing evening, for which first class mu- sical talent will be secured. This will be the,eveat of the season, and people should make their arrangements so as to take it in. TRIFLES.—In the sidewalk leading to the Collegiate, but near Ontario street, is a loose plank liable to trip up who- ever steps on it, and to our personal knowledge it has been in about the same condition for four weeks. The late tains have not simply settled the dust, but have helped vegetation mate- rially. Pastures were never betterthanthey are now. `Hayin is in fall blast. The strawberry crop has been an im- mense one, thousands of boxes being ' sold in town. A farmer who went up north to buy stockers, says he found owners holding two-year olds at $35. Blyth or Exeter will be the obje tive point of a good many people on ' Wed- nesday next, the battle of the Boyne being celebrated in these places. A party who wanted to get farm hands, says that men are asking $40 a month and board. DEATH OF MR JUNOR.—After a pro- longed illness, Mr John Junor passed away on Friday morning last. His ailment was consumption, and al- though at the outset it was hoped that his life might be prolonged, the best of care and attention failed to give per- manent relief. Deceased was well known in town, having resided here for a considerable length of time, and enjoyed the esteem and good will of all. He displayed the utmost resigna- tion to the Divine will, and confidence in his love and power. His wife, (sister of Mr John Torrance, reeve of Stanley) and one daughter survive him. Ile was a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters and Sons of Scotland; both of these orders marched at, his funeral on Sunda afternoon, which was largely attended. WELL DONE.—At Victoria, B. C., last week, Mr W. Grigg, a former member of the Clinton Gun Club, covered himself with glory and honor, by winning the highest prize~of the list, "The Globe trophy." This is discribed by a Victoria paper, as a "gold trophy, with diamond settin , prese;ited by the Morning Globe, Ta- coma, and valued at$350.' There Were a large number of contestants for the prize, and in the match ten tied were made. Speaking of this, the Victoria Colonist says: -"Tho next this on the day's program was the shooting off of the ties made on Thursday in the Globe trophy contest, The result was that Mr W. Grigg, of Victoria, headed the list after it close fight, and the 'hand- some trophy remains in Victoria till next year, Mr. Grigg's average was • wonderfully good, hisscore through- w out thematch being a total of thirty- nine Mit Of forty 'birds." There- were still three ties, and when these had been shot off, Mr Grigg stood at the .o head of the net. His old, friend' lune real pleased that he" a ltee his success, p his old reputation.. 8 ' T1I1a Is'r o,`s' Jur,Y.—There being no celebration here, a good ninny plrivate ppicnics were organized, seine at $ay #geld, Ooderich, and other attractive spots. Over three hundred tickets were sold here forhtoderich, and nearly four h1rt1d1'ed at Seaforth for,, the same, place.

Moore, agent of the Fast Freight Pine, ' Buffalo,. died Wednes- day morning athis home, 169 North Pearl street, Buffalo, Mr Moore fell downstairs on Tuesday and received severe injuries, which resulted in death. He leaves a wife and family of young children. He was harried to Mies Mary Cowan, of Princeton, sister of Col. Cowan, of Woodstock. Several 'Years ago he was station agent at Clinton for the Buffalo and Lake Huron before the Grand Trunk took_ pposses- sion of the Great Western. Ile was very popular when located here. ENTRANCE ExAhrINATIONs.-8S0 can- didates wrote on the recent Entrance Examination in East Huron; namely 96 at Seaforth, 106 at Clinton, 77 at Wingharmi`i,``'62'at Brussels, and 39 at Wroxeter. The papers were very fair. The Arithmetic was easier than usual. The Dictation much more difficult than formclryears; many are failing on it and Geography. , The, Grammar and Composition were very fair. The Li- terature is considered rather heavy for children. The results have to be tran- smitted for confirmation toToronto,on or beforethe 20th of July. The results will be published in the local papers, about the 3rd of August. Those who wrote should possess their souls in pa- tience; • they will be notified through the post office as soon as the examina- tion is concluded. Mr. Houston, of Clinton Collegiate, had charge of the examination in Wingham; Mr Lough, of Clinton, and Mr. Musgrove, Wing - ham, charge at Clinton, and °Inspector Robb, at Seaforth. TowN COUNCIL.—The regular meet- ing of the council was held on Monday evening. The Property Committee recommended the furnaces of the town hall be thoroughly examined, and if new ones are required that coal furnaces be put in. The report was passed, but without committing the council to any action as regards new furnaces. The Finance Committee re- commended payment of the following accounts:—B. Rumball, cutting wood, 60c; A. Ewing, rent, $2.50; F. Evans, $4,15; Davis & Rowland, $21,29; W. Smithson, 536; J. Becker, $206.23; H. Stevens, assessor, $70; J. 0. Elliott, rent for customs' office $15; Robins Bros, $2.68; A. M. Todd,.. printing, $5.50; receipts of weigh scales, $36; of hall, $12. Speaking of the work done at the Cemetery, Mr Searle asked for an ad- ditional grant of $15 to finish the work in hand. The reeve contended that the Committee had already exceeded its appropriation of $100, and he was not in favor of any further grant, he tho aght the expenditureshould be kept within the appropriation. Coun. Searle believed that as we derived an income from the Cemetery, we should be willing to spend something on it, even if the appropriation was exceeded. Coun. Taylor agreed with Mr Searle. and thou ht the appropriation should be granted. Coun. Armstrong thought the work should be done, provided the amount, was_. sufficient._. A. somewhat animated and slightly acrimonious dis- cussion took place with reference to the cutting of grass and weeds on the streets, and a notion was passed that permission be given to any one desiring to cut and remove grass from the pub- lic streets. NOTES.—At the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of. Good Templars, in Hamilton, last week, our esteemed friend, Frank Metcalf, was again hon- ored with the office of Grand Treaeurer. On Tuesday next Mr W. Smithson will pass his 70th milestone; he looks active and hearty, and could not be any more zealous a British subject if the anniver- sary had been one day in the month later; we hope he may yet live to see a good many more milestones. Owing to the illness of her sister, Mrs Ross, of Goderich, Miss Cottle has gone up to spend some time with her. Messrs Stevens & Sonare pushing forward the new house for Mr Geo. Trowhill. Dr. Gunn has now a nice team of chestnut drivers, having traded his bay driver with Harvey Davis, for the latter's chestnut roadster. We are sorry to announce the serious illness of Mrs Upshall, who is confined to her room, and, it is feared, with slight prospect of recovery. Mr Rufus +Andrews has taken a position with Harland -Bros. Town Clerk Coats now sports a daisy little driving cart, built expressly for his use by Mr F. Rumball: Mr Frank Jackson, of Barrie, son of Mr John Jackson, has entered the state of Ma- trimony. Rev. Mr.IHaskell, of the State of Maine, conducted service for the Brethren, in Perrin's hall, on Sun- day. Mr Geo. Hoflich has come back to town and now has charge of the Rattenbury bus. The volunteers re- turned from camp last week, somewhat brozed in features, and with a little military experience that will do them no harm, although it is scarcely likely they will ever be -required to use it. A small boy, while out bicycle riding between Clinton and Holmesville, oto Tuesday. had the misfortune to lose his watch, but had it returned to him after. —Mr Will. Jackson was at London, on Wednesday, looking up a bankrupt stork; he's a hustler for bargains, as well as for everything else. Men are busy cutting down the weeds. Mr W. Robinson. of the Huron road, had ten acres of hay cut Saturday last, that was likely to spoil if not attended to, and on Tuesday about twenty of the farmers near by, kindly turned in and saved it for him. A slight disarrange- ment of the machinery has retarded work at the Doherty Organ Factory for a few days, but everything is hum- ming away,as usual. It does seem too bad that owners of lots in the ceme- tery do bot all co-operate with the committee in putting the same in or- der, by cutting the grass and weeds on their lots; the committee is doing its utmost, and others should help. Mr Forrester is constructing a gravel walk from the corporation limit to his• house en the Huron road. Doc. Blackall at- tended a meeting of the VeterinaryAs- sociation, at Wingham, Wednesday. For the half-year d' d 30 there ere. registered with the town clerk, 24 births, 10 marriages, and 20 deaths.
