IMPROVING}.—A few days since Mrs McDougall, sr., of the big hills, had the misfortune to slip down, and sus- tained a severe injury to her hip.

Ville, reflecting on the correctness of our report re the foot -ball match playy- t ed here on the 1st, between Egmond- ville and Bayfield teams. We consid- er that a reply on our part -would be superfluous, as the readers of the ERA have long since learned to put confid- ence in this column. The following letter handed us for publication amply deals with the matter:--"EDIToIt NEW ERA, DEAR SIR:—Weare sorry that in your issue of the 14th inst., our re- feree has seen fit to make a correction with regard to a foot -ball match • play- ed here on July lst. We think he is somewhat partial and has allowed his own exhalted ideas of how the game should have ended, to become badly nixed up with the final results, but as he showed himself to be a rather close friend of the Egmondville boys during the gams, we little wonder that he should continue to take a fatherly care over them. The score at the end of time was two to one in favor of the home team. Bayfield scored the first goal, which was at the time disputed by the referee and the opposite side, but before play began again it was universally agreed and understood by all concerned that it be counted -a fair goal. Each team afterwards scored, thus leaving the final returns as above stated, and not a draw game. We are desirous that when corrections are made that they should be according to fact. Signed on behalf of the team. JOHN W. WHIDDON, Captain. 1Intended for last week.) NOTES.—Miss E. Knox,who has been home for her holidays, has returned to the Business College, Chatham. Miss M.

Pot- ter, formerly a teacher in the Auburn school, is at present the guest of Mrs Blair.

While driving along the road the other day, with his father, Mr J. Govier sud- denly took sick, and before his father noticed, fell out of the rig, breaking his collar bone. Miss M. Nixon and Miss F. Gott, are at present spending their holidays at home. Miss L.Young and her sister, Rachel, of Londesboro, are at present the guests of their aunt, Mrs J. Murdock. Berry picking is at present the rage in this vicinity, ber- ries being found in abundance. Holmesville. SPRAINED ANKLE. — We are very sorry to learn that Mrs W. Ayers, of Ailsa Craig, had the misfortune to sprain her ankle a few days ago; we hope that it is not very serious and she may soon recover. GAINING STRENGTH.—For the bene- fit of those friends at a distance who are anxious concerning the state of Miss Jennie Phipps, the latest news is that she is rapidly gaining strength, and is able to walk a little now. UNION PICNIC.—On Tuesday last one of the most successful picnics that has taken place for some time was held in r Jowit's grove, Bayfield, when the Sunda y Scncols of Bayfield, Goshen and Varna participated. The day was all that could be desired, each school contributed a sum of money to be giv- en in prizes for games and sailor's sports, which were very amusing, and consisted of foot -races for old and young, but the most amusing race was the pig• race; the pig had a bell around his neck, and the boys were blindfold- ed, and the fun was to catch the pig. Londesboro. MEAN TRICK.—Some one was mean enough to steal a quantity of dried pork from the barn of Mr Robert Cole, leaving the family without any for the rest of the season. SALE.—Mr Thompson White, of Mus- koka, was in the viillage:this week, on business, buying from R. Adams some property in hie part of the country.

Neal, of Toronto, a student of Albert College, paid this village a visit on Monday and Tuesday; as he is an old resident, everybody seemed pleased to see vim; he took the work for the Rev. W. W.

We regret to hear that Miry •ant. CoIe, at present in Lowden, is t improving. LECTARE.—The Rev. A. Parent, who for eight years was missionary to the Oka Indians, preached here Sunday morning and evening, and on Wednes- day delivered a lecture.. • He was at one time studying for a Roman Catho- lic priest, but for 37 years , has been a Protestant. His sermons were very good and his lecture quite interesting, but as he is a Frenchman and speaks but broken English, it was quite hard for some to understand him. RDNAWAYS.-.•Our village's monot- ony was broken by several runaways last week, among the first was a team belonging to Mr Ezra Pickard, hitched to a binder, which resulted in several panels of broken fence'and a badly, smashed machine. On Sunday as Mrs B. Forster and her son Harold were driving to church in the evening, a rig drove up and attempted to pass, Mrs Forster drew her horse to one side, and in doing so went a little too far, letting the two outside wheels off the road; both rigs were going at a good rate, and in trying to get into the road again turned tooquickly,upsetting the buggy. With the exception of a few bruises nothing serious was done; the top of the rig was up, and the wonder is that they got off so safe. Mr Albert Jervis, who was riding in it at the time, got off with nothing more than a good dusting. The shafts were smashed and the top broken some. There was one more runaway, which might have been a serious affair, but "please don't give it away," so we won't mention ab. NOTES -Thu Misses Whiteman, of Kippen, are the guest of Mrs Holds- worth.

No less than eight parties, out for a holiday by the lake, chose a shady nook in oue beautiful grove; The young people of the Roman Catholic Brueefleld. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—At about two o'clock on Sunday morning, burg- lare were discovered in the store of Mr J. G. Scott. They had evidently count- ed on not being disturbed, for they had two lamps burning, and were busy parking out clothing that would fit them. The alarm. was quietly given, and a num verf o the villagers proceeded to the store determined to give the burglarsa warm reception. They stationed themselves in such a way that it was impossible for the robbers to escape, and when the first one Made his exit, he• was struck a blow in the face that knocked him over, whik the other was prevented emit 'doing any injury. In anticipation ofd, strong re- sistance, villagehad rs they could lay their hands on, and ore of the burglars was clubbed severely' with a piece of scantling.

Surely the citizens of Gode- rich may well feel proud of their tree- less park and the welcome they ex- tend to their visitors. On the other hand Bayfielditee invite people to a beautiful shady grove, and if a rain comes on we have known Mr Jowett more than once to welcome the visit- ors into his own house free of charge.

VILLAGE FATHERS.—The vil- lage fathers met on Monday evening in the Town Hall, and as the reeve cannot.•y-et-asstrme"that-bame"'1`E iali t be inferred he was absent, Dr. Stan - bury filled his seat in his absence, but little of importance was transacted. Messrs Day and Erwin reported hav- ing given the outside of the Town Hall two coats of paint, and were instruct. ed to give it another, as well as to pro- ceed with the kalsomining. They have also refreshed the inside' of the hall with a coat and made other gen- eral improvements. Mrs Robt.

The matter was laid over till next meeting The coun- cil will meet again next Monday even- ing, when the rates will be'struck and other important business transacted. "They linger where the pebble pavan shores, Under the quick faint kisses of the sea, Trembles and sparkles as with ectasy." The gay season at our summer re- sort has now been fairly entered upon and everything is going as merry as a marriage bell. Crowds of tourists throng the corridors and piazzas of the hotels or roll on the grassy banks of the lake, inhaling the freshness of her famous breezes. Numbers may be seen bathing along the beach,' which is so safe that even the, life of a child is not endangered. Never before have so many applications from all' parts of OAwario, as well as from Detroit and other American cities been received. The fame of Bayfield seems to be go- ing out over the country and even the officials of the Grand Trunk railway, struck by the large number who daily come here from London over their line, have been showing a deep interest in the welfare of our popular watering place.

The Rev. gentleman as a fluent and impressive speaker, and his dis • course was highly appreciated, not only by the members of the fraternity, but by all present. PIPE ORGAN OPENING.—On Sunday evening last every inch of available space in Rattenbury St. Methodist church was occupied by persons anx- ious to participate in the exercises con- nected with the opening and dedica- tion of the new pipe organ. On Mon- day evening, the occasion of the reci- tal, the building was also crowded to its utmost capacity, and numbers were unable to get in. Rev. J. W. Holmes occupied the chair, and the p. eg: am, as announced in the NEW ERA lax!: week, was rendered with the exception of one piece. Theaudielice manifested its approval by frequent encores. Prof. Wheeler, of London, presided at the organ on Sunday on Monday, and is evidently an expert musician. He gave it as his opinion that the organ is an excellent one in ever ' respect. It certainly adds much to the appear- ance of the church. Mr Sibley, as mu- sical director, is entitled to credit, for the happy way in which everything passed off. Members .of the other choirs in town participated in the ex- ercises. The committee had asked for contributions to the extent of $250, but received only $166, which is, never- theless, a generous contribution. Miss Ida Boles, the church organist, will re- tain this position still, having thor- oughly qualified herself for the duties.

Rainier - ton to Winnipeg. W. Harland and wife and I Taylor to Mackinaw. AIL the above were ticketed by W.Jackson. FRUIT.—For a long time the NEW ERA has been advisingfanners to raise fruit,on theground that there here is more money in it, even at low price's, than there is in grain, with considerable lose work. The demand for fruit fe increas- ing daily, and will increase, and he is a wise farmer who tries to supply the demand, Cantelou Bros., tell us that; they have had more ordets for fruit this summer than they have been, able to fill, notwithstanding the fact that, they have been shipping nearly every day. For growing cher ries, pluths, a Spies and pears, thin Soon cannot be° surpassed, and thereuch .fear of the supply being neater than the demand, because the, cofsutnptiort It increasing very rapxdi�r
