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. R. R. East Wawitnosh. 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. Brussels. 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'', Our Weekly Budget OF INTERESTING NEWS From all parts of the County—by wide-awake 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. Tuckersm ith. NOTES.—Among those who took in the choir excursion last week were the Misses Nott, Miss N. Crich, Messrs N. and I. Crich and Mr W. Townsend. 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 from Orillia last week. Mies L. Ball, of Hullett, is here at present. Colborne NOTES.—Rev. A. Thibadeau intends holding quarterly services at Benmill- er on Aug. 6th. Thrashing will be the go of the day shortly, as several farm- ers intend thrashing this week. The Misses Turner, of Clinton, are visiting 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 has always been freely rendered, with- out any hope of reward, except that which (tames from a sense of duty per- 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 ), slight token f the obligationj upder which you ha 0 laid us as thd Wader in our service6f praise. JANE BLARE, tighed BERTHA tr..LENs MARTHA. rantlia. 'I' BLYTH DEATIL—Mr James Young an old respected resident of this part died on the 20th inst. The funeral, a large one, took place on Sunday afternoon to Burns cemetery,Hullett. The deceased was in his 63rd year and unmarried. ACCIDENT.—Mr Wm. Bell came near loosing a valuable mare last week, while in the pasture field she broke through into a well, fortunately was discovered in time and with difficulty extracted, not much the worse of the adventure. SERENADE.—On Friday evening the citizens, of the east end, were benefited by a serenade tendered Dr. and Mrs Milne, they, having recently returned from their weddingtrip. This is a way theband has of showing theirgood will and tendering congratulation, it is not necessary to say they were well re., ceived and a pleasant tune spent. TENNIS.—At a game of tennis here on Saturday, Wingham lost to Blyth with the following score:—Tanner and Tiernay, Blyth, beat Laing and Mc- Leod, Wingham, 6-3, 6-0, 6-2; Ferguson and McKinnon, Blyth, beat Dickinson and Niblet, Wingham, 6-4, 7-5. 6-3.

McRoberts, J. P. Holds- worth, R. Forster and I. Pickard, All reported as having a splendid time, and though it was exceedingly warm here, it was quite comfortable in Sarnia. BOATING.—Not a few are becoming 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 (gentlemtin) and Ed. McRoberts (lady) should have the cake for general rig- out. It created considerable amuse- ment, so the next night something in- dtructive will be had, in the form of a debate. • Sararsams.—Chicago strikes are be- ginning to grow quiet, but Holmesville is just beginning, as was the case on Tuesday, when the emplOyes of a firm, under leadership of Capt. Henry and Lieut. Weston drafted a bill of griev- ance, asking for certain things to take place at once, or they would strike the next day. They are still working, and we hbpe it will be settled before there is any bloodshed NOTES.—Rev Mr Newcombe; super- annuated minister, will probably take the Methodist pulpit here next Sunday morning.

One of the holdbacks of the harness gave out, and the buggy struck the horse, causing it to run away. She held on bravery, and managed to stop the horse, but not until the buggy was well smashed up, with the horse kick- ing and then falling down on it. NOTES.—On Friday a select party of the upper ten procured a carryall from Clinton, and proceeded to Goderich for a day's outing; they report having an excellent time.

In coinpliance with the above, the committee prepared the following: TO BRO. JOHN R. SUNDERCOCK—BEAR SIR, —In behalf of the members of Londesboro Lodge S.O.E.B.S. No. 143, we tender you our most sincere sympathy, on account of the sad bereavement that has come upon you and your family, by the taking away of one of your daughters by death.

Judging from the number of visitors, who pass to and from the sta- tion, our pleasant little village of Bay- field is becoming widely known as a beautiful lake -shore summer resort. Hensall MARRIAGE.—A very pleasant affair took place at Willow Hall, the resi- dence of Mr A. Johnston, on Wednes- day evening last, being the marriage of Miss Jennie Johnston to Mr Ben, J. Short, of Parkhill. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. H. Thomp- son, of Thedford, uncle of the groom. The bride was supported by her sister, Mise May Johnstone and the groom by Mr of Parkhill. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of friends an tl relatives of each of the contracting parties, who, after the ceremony, sat down to a sumptuous repast. The presents were numerous and valuable, showing the respect and esteem in which they are held. NOTES—Mr Will Thompson, former- ly of Hensall, • but now of Chicago, is renewing old acquaintances in town; he is accompanied byMr Geo. Dyke, of Chica uo.

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.

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. PERSONAL.— Miss Hattie Martin, who has been engaged in Toronto dur- ing the past year, arrived home on Saturday, to spend her holidays here.

A couple of loads, from Zurich, put in what was evidently a big time one day last week. Two picnics from Goderich, one on Monday and the other on Tuesday, spent a very enjoy- able day at the popular resort of West- ern Ontario. Mr John Tippet, who lost track of a valliable cow for about a week, was fortunately successful in finding her on Sunday morning in the CAMPERS. —The following party from Dresden passed through Clinton on Monday:—Dr. A.

A WHOPPER.—An immense sturgeon weighing eighty-two pounds and meas- uring nearly six feet, was captured by Messrs Will Dempsey and Robt. Es - eery, of Stephen, at Grand Bend the other day.

Y., on Tuesday, of the death of his broth- er, Mr Nelson C. Prouty. Deceased was a printer by trade and was 78 years of age.

Oper hi * , Vitt big swamp south of here. A number of -River hotel guests drove to Goderich one day last Week, but returned declar- ing their established preference for Bayfield for a summer resort. The Donaldson saw mill is booming again as usual. Things were pretty lively around the harbor on Wednesday when picnicers from Egmondville, Sea - forth, Tuckersmith and Clinton, were 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. sotfregeetes saet nairgeh t Rowed to villify our 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. (Another correspondent) 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.
