LINES ON THE DEATH OF DAISY SUN-
DERCOCK, WHO DIED IN HULLETT,
AGED 10 YEARS.
"He shall gather the lambs with his arm."
Gentle Shehperdthou haat stilled,
Nowthy little iamb's brief weeping;
Ohl how peaceful, pale and mild
In her narrow bed she's sleeping, •
And no sigh of anguish sore,
Heaves that little bosom more.
In this world of care and pain,
Lord, thou would'st no longer leave her;
To the sunny heavenlyplain
Thou dost now with joy receive her,
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Daisy dwells with thee in light.
Ab! Lord Jesus, grant that we,
Where she lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see,
That its heavenly food are giving,
Then, the gain of.death we prove,
Though thou take what most we love.

Nores.—Miss Moore, of Chicago, is
'visiting at her uncle's, Mr Geo. Mc -
Gowans'. Mrs J. Fraser and family
are visiting friends in Middlesex
county. Mrs Geo. L. Shipley and
daughter, of Carlisle, are the guests of
Mr and Mrs Gregor McGowan this
week. Miss Rebecca McGowan took in
the choir excursion to Sarnia last week
and reports having .a good time. Mrs
Geo. Stewart and Master Oscar are
visiting friends at Ripley and Kincar-
dine. Mr George McGowan, who has
been indisposed for some time, is slow-
ly recovering. One of the Tory heel-
ers from near Belgrave, has been can-
vassing through the township last
week for funds to protest Mr Garrow's
election; dame rumor reports success,
and a protest to be proceeded with.
Mr Adam Glouser has completed his
contract of gravelling on con. 3, oppo-
site lot 40.

ConaciDENers.—The Galt Reformer
says :—Some days ago we noticed the
death of Mrs Jas. Leatherdale, of Galt,
stepmother of R. Leatherdale, of Brus-
sels, who died at Oshawa on the morn-
ing of July 12th. In this connection
there is a curious coincidence in Mr
Leatherdale's family, this being the
fourth member that has died on July
12th, all of whom are buried in Galt
cemetery. The first was Elizabeth
Broad (grandmother), died July 12th,
1859; then James Leatherdale (father),
died July 12th, 1872; next James Leath-
erdale (grandfather) died July 12th,
1876, aged 93 years, and now Elizabeth
Leatherdale (stepmother), who died
Jilly 12th, 1894.
Goderich.
FIRE.—The dwelling house of Mr
Dulmage, near the Salt block, was
burned Sunday morning. An upset
lamp is supposed to be the cause, most
of the furniture was staved. The house
was worth very little, and was not
likely inured.
NOTES.—Thos. Sneid was buried on
Sunday, about 200 Foresters and Work-
men marched in the procession; Mr
Sneid was a member in both order s,and
had $3,000 life insurance. About 150
Foresters marched to Victoria street
Methodist church, Sunday morning to
hear a sermon by Rev. H. Irvine; his
subject was "Charity and Purity,"
from Jas. 1, 27. We hear Jonathan
Miller has sold out the Albion, and is
going out to hiso)farm at Taylor's cot'',

and lively Correspondents
Varna
Mr Deitrick, of Seaforth, and Miss
Mable and Mr Jas. Reid, of Bay City,
Mich., are at present visiting friends
in and around Varna.
LAWN SOCIAL.—The English church
garden party, at Varna, was as usual,
a grand success. Throughout this sec-
tion of the country it is generally ad-
mitted that the young people in con-
nection with this church know how to
work so as to make a thing successful.
For years their garden parties have
been famous, and this year their suc-
cess was as great as ever. The Seaforth
brass band was in attendance, and ex-
celled themselves—never before have
they played so well. There was
scarcely a pause in the music from 8
o'clock until 11, except for a few mo-
ments, to allow the band men to refresh
the inner man, and whilst the church
choir, under the leadership of Miss M.
McNaughton, gave some choruses in
their usual good style. The Seaforth
band improves yearly, and well de-
serves the title given it, " one of the
best bands this side of Toronto;" we
shall be glad to hear them again soon;
the boys know how to behave them-
selves. The proceeds amounted to $73,
which will leave a handsome balance
to go to church painting, etc. We
noticed the Rev Mr Newton and wife
present, and they both look well. The
other resident ministers were prevent-
ed from being present for various
causes. What might have been a
heavy loss to the rector was happily
averted, through the prompt assistance
rendered hy Mr T. Beacom and Mr
Sparrow. It appears that the Rev Mr
Kerrin's horse had been over -heated
through repeated journeys from Bay-
field to Varna, in connection with the
garden party, and close upon 8 p.m. it
was taken seriously ill, but, thanks to
the gentlemen above named, matters
were put all right, after two hours'
hard work. Messrs Armstrong and
Stinson made efficient gatekeepers,
and Mr J. Beatty was a good salesman
at the refreshment stand; but the prin-
cipal thanks are due to the girls—
brave girls. By the way, what a pity
that Rev Mr Kerrin is going away, for
there are rumors of more work for
him, if he had been staying a while
longer, but perhaps someone knows
who the ladies are who "must have
Rev Mr Kerrin to marry them" --who
to? Will they go to Mitchell
NOTES.— The hay crop will be rather
light in this vicinity this season. The
prospects for an abundant harvest are
very encouraging at the present time.
Farmers are busy at their fall wheat
harvest now; the crop will- be a good
average. Some beautiful monuments
have been put up in Zion cemetery this
year, to the memory lof departed
friends. Mr Bower is going to put in
a new cider press in•his steam saw mill
on the 12th con. Mr Speers, an old
resident of Ashfield, died last Friday
morning; his remains were buried in
the Dungannon cemetery, followed by
a large concourse of friends and neigh-
bors.
Exeter
NOTES.—Mr R. H. Collins' of this
place, has been elected DistrictDeputy
of the Masonic Grand Lodge. The
death of Mr Trivett, clerk of the Di-
vision Court, removes a prominent
figure from our midst; he was an Eng-
lishman of wealth, and among his not-
able bequests was the building of the
Trivett Memorial church here, a hand-
some edifice, but unfortimately,ta some
extent a white elephant to the Episco-
palians, as the beautiful church Invol-
ved an expense that was not warrant-
ed by the membership; Mr Trivett had
no family, but an adopted daughter,
Mrs Bobter.

Mr G. Logan has commenced the frame
work of Mr F. Crich's frame barn and
intends to have it finished in short,
order; this has been an exceedingly
busy season for framers, which accounts
for this building being so late in being
erected. Mr Lou. Farnham and sister,
of Hullett, spent Sunday with friends
here. Mr T. Cole, of Goderich town-
ship, spent Sunday with Mr H. Carter,
Mies Fannie Townsend returned home

at Mr Amos Fisher's. The cherry sea-
son is about wound up for this year.
PRESENTATION.—The members of
Bethel church and their choir present-
ed their choir leader, Mr S. Butt, with
a purse and the following address the
other evening after choir p_ractice:—
Mn S. BUTT:—DEAR FRIEND AND
BROTHER—We feel that the time has
come when we ought to acknowledge
the obligation we are under to you, as
leader of the singing in our congrega-
tion for a series of years. We are ful-
ly aware that your valuable service

out any hope of reward, except that

formed, but we would like you to feel
that we duly appreciate the value of
the serviceyou have rendered so long
and so efficiently. Accept then, dear
sir, of the accompanying gift, as.a very

acquainted with the fact that there is
good boating at the river here. Satur-
day evening last a number of the
young people spent a pleasant time
boating by moonlight, after which a
lunch was served beside a camp fire.
W. B. Forster, the genial proprietor of
the two boats, seems to be always glad
to give the use of his boats, as long as
they are used properly.
Toox THE CAKE.—At the Templars,
Monday everdng, an old-fashioned cake
walk was gi ven; owing to a number of
the perforpers not being present, there
were only, three couples competed.
The audience decided that Geo. Phipps

dtructive will be had, in the form of a
debate. •

The charming and •Bayfield One of the prettiest lakes
balmy village of side resorts.
OUR GUESTS.—
"Scenes must be beautiful which daily viewed
Please daily, and whose novelty survives
Long knowledge and the scrutiny of years."
This is Bayfield's field day, and it is
proving a magnificentone. The wea-
ther has been superb for holidaying
and the large crowd of visitors seem to
be enjoying themselves to their heart's
delight. The river and lake are dotted
over from morning till night with var-
ious kinds of craft, from a tiny can-
vass canoe to a stately steam yacht,
and all the air is alive with the voices
of resorters. More and more are ar-
riving every week, and we still have
accommodation for all who want to
come. The following registered during
the past week:—
COMMERCIAL HOTEL.—Mrs Camp-
bell, Norman and Douglas Campbell,
Miss Campbell, Miss and Miss Bella
Bethune, Mies Young, Miss Broadfoot,
Miss Duncan and Reg. Wilson, of Sea -
forth; Mise Lena Rogers and Miss Sa-
lina Scobel, of Detroit.

(WEER'S HOTEL.— Wm. Smith, Wm.
White, Jas. R. Elliott, D. Mills, Wm.
Beaton, Mrs H. Beaton, of London; S.
A. Dixon, Seaforth.
FAREWELL.—We regret to announce
that on Sabbath morning next Rev. J.
T. Kerrin will preach his farewell ser-
mon in Trinity _church, and will imme-
diately go to Mitchell, to fill the va-
cancy in that congregation. Mr Ker-
rin has been here only about a year but
in that time he has impressed all who
have come in contact with him as a
sincere, zealous and warm-hearted
christian clergyman. He is a ceaseless
worker who cannot endure idleness
about him, and whose motto seems to
be to do all things well that he under-
takes. He is an admirable preacher,
whose cogent argument is seldom not
convincing and whose eloquent and
outspoken denunciation of wrong is
seldon misunderstood. His sermons
are evangelical and very practical. In
parting with Mr Kerrin, Trinity church
has lost a pastor, who we predict will
yet fill a high place in his church.
Though sorry to let Mr Kerrin go we
congratulate the people of Mitchell, on
Securing such an able man.

paddling about on the water. The
thermometer stood 960 in the shade
her on Thursday last, but even this
scorcher was made endurable by the
never failing breeze from the lake. A.
picnic party, from Brucefield, occupied
a corner of the grove on Saturday. A.
large load of the "Upper Ten" of Clin-
ton, drawn by a coach and four, drove
over to Bayfield on Tuesday evening
to enjoy a specially prepared trout
supper at the River hotel.
A GREAT NUISANCE. — It is *Rh
great reluctance that we ever attract
public attention specially to the unfa-
vorable features of our village, but
when a positive nuisance arises, we are
in duty bound to speak. We have
long advocated the closing up of cattle
&nd geese at night, and we are pleased
to say have met with a hearty support
from a number of our citizens, who
have gone to the special expense and
trouble of providing a suitable enclos-
ure for night. It has been one of the
most marked things in the progress of
Bayfleld, • that her citizens are every
year taking an increased pride in their
village as the resort par excellence for
healthful breezes and picturesqueness
of natural scenery. But it is of little
use for a few well-disposed villagers to
try to keep things looking respectable,
when others, some of -whom live on the
outskirts of the village, pasture their
cows, etc. over night, on the village
streets. We do not ask that they be
closed up in the day time, but we do
wish our people would insist on having
these animals closed up at night. There
is no use in one or two closing up, un-
less everyone does so. Let the by-law
be enforced,' or struck off the boas.
Take, fet' example, Ann street, o
whiaL the Methodist church is situated,
and it would disgrace a cattle yard,
not to speak of a far-famed and popular
resort. It is the worst street we know
of in the village, and has been so for a,
number of years, and yet what has
been done all this time to remedy it?
What have the citizens of that neigh-
borhood, who have to endure r he stench
which arises from it, done to purify it?
What have the merribers and adher-
ents of the Methodist church,who have
to pass through this barnyard of filth
once, twice or three times -every week,'
rionte-t-o—yern OW— th nni-
sance ? What have the citizens tind .
council done in this matter ? Wefail
to recollect one move made by anyone
to effect even a temporary remedy. It .. „
is simply scandalous for Bayfield to
have such a street as Ann, and that
just because herds of cows and flocks.

LrvE BASE BALL. — Great excite-
ment prevailed throughout the village,
on Saturday afternoon, when it was
learned that the crack-up Goderich
base -ball club had telegraphed down
to Bayfield that they were coming to
play our "club." Of course our boys
never take a bluff, and replied for therm
but the veterans of twenty years ago
to come along. We bave no alb here,
still show the vim of latter-day eniNtrt •
siasts. About 3 o'clock the Godericlz.
boys, in their imposing costumes. lined
up for play, with a scrub team -to op-
pose them. Hundreds of visitors and
citizens watched the game, which w
highly interesting, from start to finis
C. Pernington and D. Thompson,, co -
stituted the battery for Goderich; J.
W. Snow and P. Moorehouse, for Bay-
field. In the first two innings our boys
could not get on to the professional
curves of the visitors, while the latter
were scoring right along, In the third
innings P. Moorehouse slugged the
ball for a home run, and then Bayfield
got down to business. In the last inn-
ings the Goderich boys were giving
way before the "greenies." Snow's
curves couldn't be touched at all,while
Moorehouse's catching fairly surprised
the visitors. Considering the experi-
ence of some of the players, the game
was a marvel, and certainly a most;
amusing and interesting feature of
entertainment. Mr Koyl, df Goderich,
acted as referee, to the satisfaction of
both clubs. The score stood 26 to 7 in
favor of Goderich.

SPEEDING.—For two or three years
there has been keen competition in
raising fast horses here, and now the
boys are having nightly spurts, to see
who has the best horse. Mr Robert
Lawrason leads them all, with his
pacer, Young Amber. This is a pro-
mising three year old colt, and shows
great traits of speed, and is beating all
the four and five year olds. He was
got by that well-knOwn horse, Amber,
formerly owned by Mr V. Murdock, of
Hensall. Bob may justly be proud of
his good luck in raising such a good
colt.
