Potatoes are somewhat scarce. Ed. Holmes, of Clinton was in town this week. Occasional Correspondent.

Some pro- minent officers, as well as many friends of the army from the neighboring towns, will be present to participate in the program of proceedings on those days. SOCIAL. -The Christian Endeavor So- ciety gave a social in the basement of the Presbyterian church, on Monday evening last, which was largely attend- ed by the members of the congregation, who had the opportunity of getting acquainted with. Mr Guthrie, the pas- tor's newly appointed assistant, for which purpose the social was chiefly held. A real good time was enjoyed by all present. LECTURE. -In the town hall, on Fri- day evening, it was with no small de- light that we greeted our erstwhile Methodist pastor, Rev Mr Livingstone, of Kincardine. Mr Livingstone came amongst us under the auspices of the Royal Temperance Society, to deliver his famous lecture on "What I don't forget of the World's Fair." We were glad to see that the years have dealt kindly with him, and have taken noth. ing from the burly build and com- manding presence of one of the most popular pastors we have ever had in our midst. To see the sunny smile lighten up his countenance brought back recollections to many of us of the old days. As Dr Stanbury remarked, when moving a vote of thanks, "The very thot Wag Mr Livingstone makes one f vant had re'tidered a selection, the lecturer commenced by giving a humorous ac - cc unt of his journey to Chicago. What he wished to see, above everything else, was the Fine Arts building, ac- cordingly he made his way thither on the first day. When the full glory of that marvellous place burst suddenly upon him, he felt like exclaiming, as did the boy who got his head into a sugar barrel, "Oh, for a thousand tongues 1" "Oh, for a thousand eyes, to take it all in. He touched upoa the main features of that wonderful collec- tion, lighting it up, and keeping his audience with him by "glints" of hum- or. Next day, being Sunday, he heard Dr. Pentecost preach in the morning, Henry Drumm3nd in the afternoon, and John McNeil in the evening.He then proceeded to give a wonderful life -like presentation of the great Scotch evangelist's style of preaching. The Manufacturers', Fisheries, and Transportation buildings were quickly gone over. The interest, of the audi- ence was not allowed to flag for a mo- ment, as he conducted them through the numerous sideshows of the Plea- sance, as they looked down through his eyes from the heights of a balcony upon "America." Mr Livingstone must be congratulated upon his great powers of vivid portrayal. Although the lecture was one the like of which the Bayfield people have seldom been privileged to hear, unfbrtunately the audience was small, but if Mr Living- stone comes back soon again, we can assure him a full house, as there are many who regret they were not pre- sent, not having any idea of the treat that was in store for them. e evated. After Rev Mr M- ad taken the chair, and the choir REVIVAL. -A good deal of interest is being manifested in the revival of re- ligion now going on in the Methodist church, and conducted by Rev A. H. Ranton, evangelist. This revival be- gan on Sunday last, and Mr Ranton's topics, so far, have been "The baptism of the Holy Ghost," "The sin against the Holy_ Ghost," "A sinner on the run," "Hoping and waiting,' "Lame in two feet," all of which have been commented upon in a very earnest and convincing manner. A number have already signified their desire to live a new life. The prospects are that a great work will be accomplished !dur- ing Mr Ranton's stay among us. May it be so. DEATH. -Mr Samuel Kestle,who had been very sick for a long time, died at his residence here, on Thursday night last. Mr Kestle, who suffered greatly through his illness, bore it all with a good deal of patience and Christian fortitude, he being a member of the Methodist church. He was an ernploye in the Broadfoot & Box furniture fac- tory, and highly esteemed by his shop mates, and all others who knew him. The funeral took place on Saturday, to the Exeter cemetery, and was largely attended. The Broadfoot & Box em- ployes, in a body, followed the remains as far as Egmonclville. The deceased's six brothers acted as pall bearers. A wife and little son are'left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. NOTES. -Mr Jas. Leatherland, after a few weeks' stay at his home here, re- turned to the Northwest, on Thursday. Miss May Livens spent last Sunday With friends in Clinton. A number of people from here will attend the mili- tary hall at Goderich, on Friday. rile new town building is nearly finished, and will soon be ready for occupancy. Rev Geo. Richardson, of Berlin, was in town on Tuesday, and in the evening was present and took an active part in the special services in the Methodist church. Evangelist Renton is a guest at the ifethodist parsonageduring his J stay in town. Mr and Mrs as. Pringle, of Stratford,were in town over Sunday last, visiting their son-in-law, Mr Chas.

Elliott, of the Albion, has for the past few years had a liberal patronage of summer tourists. Mrs Wm. Clarke last season had a goodly number of well -pleased guests. Goderich Towns!, p MARRIAGE. -An interesting event took place last at Burnside, Mich., wherein a former'resident of Goderich township was a prominet figure. It was the marriage of Miss Lilian Lofft, daughter of Mr Fred G. Lofft, former- ly of. Goderich township, to Mr W. Purdy, of Collinabiap vide, Mich. The bride was the recipient of a number of presents. NOTES -Mrs Nesbitt, mother of Mr Chris. Nesbitt, still keeps very poorly. Some of the farmers have already•done seeding, and it is the general opinion that the land has not worked better for some years than it has this season. Mr John McLenan still keeps poorly but is greatly,improved. Mr Harrison, of the 4th con., is suffering from a growth in the neck. Holmesville. ARM BROKEN. -Edith Lavis, young- est daughter of Mr Ed. Lavis, acci- dentally broke her arm while playing on Tuesday. FOR DAKOTA. -Mr Ralph Wade and wife left for Dakota on Tuesday. We wish them a safe journey and prosperi- ty at the end of it.

REVD/MED.-J. R. Holmes returned from the west Saturday night. He says if you want to see hard times go to Manitoba. A number who were able have come back to Ontario again, among a portion of those that remain very little crop will be putin, as wheat is so scarce and money there is none. NOTES. -Mr W. B. Forster returned from Toronto on Monday. Miss Tre- wartha, of Clinton, was in the village this week. Henry Sweet is busy burn- ing lime, the demand for first class lime is so great that he intends burn- ing five kilns this summer. Fletch has finished plowing and seeding Mount Horeb; he's been on it since the snow went off. OPEN TO ALL. -At the Templars Council, on Monday night, it was de- cided to throw the entertainment part open, that any who wish , might hear it. Miss Walter's side will give the program next Monday 'night, which will commence after the business of the couecil, somewhere between 8.30 and 9 pan. Anyone who may wish to come in will be welcome. THEY WENT BY RAIL. -On Friday as J. Banton was taking two beasts to the slaughter house for the purpose of j killing, they got away andjumped the fence onto the railway and made in Godeinch direction. The section men seeing them started on the hand -car after them,fearing they might be over- taken by the train, which was nearly due. The cattle had the start andkept it; nothing seemed to stop them, nei- ther fence nor cattle guard, they came through Holmesville without stoppage; here they were headed off and seemed but little worse from their run. (Another correspondent) PROPERTY CHANGES. -Mr James Pollick has purchased from the execu- tors of the Connor estate the Queen's hotel, a building most suitable for a summer hotel; he will at once have it properly fitted out and repaired. Mr Ed. Swarts is now proprietor of the River hotel, having purchased it from his brother, John, of Wingham; the house is newly furnished throughout, and every attention will be given summer guests. WHAT ARE NEEDED. -Some Toron- to gentlemen are talking of building and operating an electric railway from Seaforth to Bayfield. This would certainly'be a great boon to Hayfield, and would no doubt pay handsomely. There are many enterprises which could then be undertaken. We would advise those Londoners who are now interested in electric railway matters to turn their attention this way. There is an unlimited field for speculation here. Grist mills, salt mills and vart ions manufacturing concerns could be successfully carried on. A large sum- mer hotel would be a grand invest- ment, for with our present hotel ac- commodation • there is still great lack of facilities for the large numbers who each season come here, and if we had that electric line the crowds that would come are beyond estimation. An- other profitable undertaking would lie the building of summer cottage. Last season a number of lots were raid out for that purpose on the lake front, and can be bought very reasonably. NOTES. -Rev. Mr Ryan, of Tilson- burg, was here last week on business. Miss Mary Whiddon has returned from a visit to .Ripley. Mr John Ea- son has gone back to Nairn for a few weeks.

This vicinity has lately been well canvassed by a shoddy pedlar fr,om Stratford, • whb succeeded in gulling a good num- Wiligharn CHURCH MATTERS, -In tile Synod proceedings the following occurs -The appeal of Mr D. N. Gordon, of Wing - ham, against the decision of Presby- tery of Maitland in suspending him, from the church on a charge of having slandered his pastor, Rev. H. McQuar- rie, was then taken up by the synod. The records of ,the case were read by the Secretary, Rev. Dr. Cochrane. The documentary evidence showed that some time ago Mr Gordon charg- ed his pastor with having slandered him in stating that he was not a tem- perance man, etc. This difficulty was settled and each man extended the right band of fellowship, Later on at a congregational meeting, hcad in Wingliam ilt in January, Mr Gon is alleged to have called Rev. Mr-kc- Quarrie "a weak-kneed, milk and water, wishy-washy temperance- man with no backbone." This matter was carried to the Presbytery by Rev. Mr McQuarrie and that body found against Mr Gordon. A general discussion en- sued between representatives of the Wingham congregation and Maitland Presbytery as to the best mode of dis- posing , of the case. It was decided that a commission be appointed by the Moderator. The commission will be empowere'cl to go up to Wingham and investigate all the circumstances. An- other appeal from Maitland Presbytery was for a rearrangement of the con: regations of Belgrave, Calvin; East Wawanosh, White and Langside churches into two pastoral charges. The appeal set forth that the rear- rangement would greatly reduce the grants from the augmentation fund. The only obstacle in the way of the rearrangement at present was the re- fusal of Rev. Mr Law to resign the pastorate of Belgrave. Mr R. S. G. Anderson was heard in support of the appeal and the Synod then relegated the settlement of the matter to a com- mittee, with instructions tc report to this Synod. BLYTII NOTE8.-Mr W.H. McBride removed his family to Wingham on Thursday last, where he has purchased a busi- ness and will engage in the manufac- ture of pop. Mr A. R.

Most of the farm- ers of this vicinity will finish seeding this week. Since spring work has commenced, lady driving is very common, and in order to supply the demand for drivers, the "shaggy old nags" have to take. their turn on the road, at least it appears so. Lovers of the country will soon see it in all its beauty; the trees will soon don their summer apparel; the wild flowers are commencine to bloom and fill the air with their fragrance, while the air rings -With the songs of the birds.

Gaunt, the county President, was expected, btitwas detained at home. The Patron candidate for the Legislature, Mr James Connolly, spoke on the different planks of the„ Patron platform, also dealing witb-the differ- ent objections raised to ,the Patrons, by the two old parties. He said that it was not a political dodge of either party, but that it was a straight inde- pendent party, joined together to de- mand their Just dues, and that they were not party kickers that bad been hoisted out of the two old parties, be- cause either of them would be only too glad to have them back again. - It was a well understood fact that the income of the farmer was growing smaller while that of the Government officials was growing larger. He claimed that the Patrons were not or- ganized for trade but to fight mono- polies and trusts. That the farmers should stand by the honest Merchants of the town and not send their cash away to other places. He also said that it would do the farmer good to join the Patrons as it would make him study the politics of the country more, and to think more about their social . duties towards each other. as it brought them more together The meeting was enlivened through- out by singing a,nd instreaental music. Major Viircoe moved a vote of thanks to the speaker, in which he gave some of the benefits of the order. Mr Thos. Gledhill, president of Benmiller lodge, moved a vote of thanks to the musical committe'e, claiming that it was a good thing to hear in the meetings. After three cheers for the Queen and candi- date Connolly the meeting closed by singing God save the Queen. East Wawanosh NOTES. -James Vancamp and Alex.
