RESOLUTION OF CONFIDENCE. -At a meeting of Patrons of Industry As- sociation, No. 385, held in the Patrons Hall, on Monday evening, July 23rd, the following resolution was passed: "Moved by John H. McPherson, seconded by Chas. Thome, that we the members of Northern Light Lode, P. of I., of which our county president, Mr James Gaunt, is an honored mem- ber, seeing the efforts now being made in certain quarters to cast reproach on our president fcr the stand he was ob- liged to take in the recent provincial contest by withdrawing his support from the so-called Patron candidate, Mr Connolly, • and after hearing the matter fully explained by Mr Gaunt. are desirous of taking this means of puhlicly expressing our confidence in Mr Jas. Gaunt as a Patron, and our ap- preciation and endorsement • sof our es- teemed brother's conduct at a most critical time whereby he, at the risk of great personal calumny, stood loyally by the principles of our order, as ex- pressed by our grand and county as- sociations, and exposed the treachery and duplicity being praletis:ed,in._the name o a ronism. And we hereby .pledge ourselves to use every effort to further his candidature at the coming Dominion election, knowing him to be as good a Patron as ever, and to be worthy of the confidence of every true Patron $nd independent elector in the riding And be it further resolved, that if the effort being made to trans- form our order into a sectarian organization, or to affiliate it with such, is successful, we will withdraw bodily from the Patron order.

SICK AND IMPROVING. -Mr W. Stan- ley has been confined to the house for two or three days but is:able to be around again. A telegram was receiv- ed by Mr J. Marquis that his daughter Mrs J. O. Pickard, of Galt, was dan- gerously ill with typhoid fever; we hope soon to hear of her recovery. Mrs Wm. Pickard has been unable to leave the house for the past week, but we are glad to say is some better. HE NEARLY FELL. -While the pain- ters were working at the church on Wednesday, one of them was engaged painting the steeple or pole that is erected on the front gable, when the ladder he was on slipped on the roof. The church roof was so steep he was unable to stop himself, and would have gone over the edge had he not the pre- sence of mind to catch his heel in the eave-trough, which paved him. It was rather a close call, for a fall of over 50 feet on the hard ground would have shaken him up somewhat. CHURCH. -At the preparatory ser- vice last Friday, Rev. Mr Irvine preached a Krand sermon trom the text "Grow in Grace." A very large crowd was present at the sacrament on Sunday. Next Sunday morning there will be a sermon to the children and a collection in behalf of the Sun- day school will be taken up. We un- derstand that at the meeting of the quarterly board, on Monday, the sal- ary of Rev, Mr Fear was increased by $50; he has well earned it and we are glad to see this mark of appreciation.

CHURcR.-The Quarterly services of the Victoria St. Methodist church were held last Sunday. The society was largely represented at the le a.m, Love - feast. At the close of the morning preaching service, the Pastor read the General Rules, and then, with the class leaders gave the right hand of fellow- ship to ten persons who were united by letter or on trial. The pastor has received 14 into the membershipof the circuit since conference. The Sacra- ment was administered to a large com- pany at the close of the evening service.

Millian was elected to District meet- ing; the pastor's salary was raised to $800 for this conference year, and all but $30 of the first quarter's salary paid in by the Stewards. This church has adopted the voluntary offer- ing system of finances, and has done away with all pew rents. tea meetings, socials, and special appeals for money.

The cemetery fence is being painted, which will improve it a great deal; the trus- tees have also had the grass and weeds cut, and a lot of improvements have been made by the owners of lots this year, so that the place never looked•so well. A/WAR OF WORDS. -Messrs Watson and Haggitt paid a visit to Auburn on Saturday, to settle a case of abusive language and threats. Neither party was hurt bodily in the dispute, and the J. Ps. dismissed the case, so the plain- tiff had the 6o9ts to pay. It is too bad that neighbors cannot agree, without going to law, especially these hard times. It is also bad for Londesboro to allow business to be carried away to other places. Are there not just as good and capable men here as in other places, out of which to make J. Ps. Who will make a move to remedy the matter? ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.-Th.following letter was read in the S.O.E. lodge last Friday night, and ordered to be pub- lished in both Clinton papers :-To Londesboro Lodge No. 143, S.O.E., B.S. --We desire to return to you our sin- cere thanks for the kind sympathy which we received from you in the sad bereavement we have been called upon to pass through, by the ;death of our little daughter. It is a bitter bereave- ment, coming upon us so sudden and unexpected. We ;snow that God works in a mysterious way, and that he cannot err, therefore he must bow in submission to His will, and so live that we may meet her in that world beyond the skies, where parting will be no more.

TEMPLARs.-The Royal Templars are arranging for the holding of a week of temperance meetings, sometime next month, which will be conducted by one of the Royal Templar revival teams furnished by the Grand Councillor of the order, Rev Wm. Kestlewell. SICK. -We regret to learn of the serious illness of the Rev Neil Shaw, of the Egmondville Presbyterian church, but trust he will soon he able to again attend to his usual pastoral duties; Mr Shaw is popular among the people to whom he ministers in divine things. Word was received on Tuesday that Mr Peter' Anderson, a resident of this place, but who has recently been em- ployed at St. Mary's, is lying very ill with typhoid fever, in the Stratford hospital; we very much regret the news of Mr Anderson's illness, and hope to hear of his speedy recovery. Civic HOLIDAY. -Friday being our civic holiday, many of our citizens will no dogbt take advantage of the cheap railway fares, to visit friends or do business out of town. The day, how. ever,will not be void of some attraction at home, as two lively lacrosse matches will be played on Recreation Park. The Hist will be between Mitchell and the Seaforth junior Beavers, and the second one, in which a good deal of interest is being manitested, will he the Excelsiors, of Brampton, vs. the senior Beavers. This game will likely be witnessed by a large crowd. CHURCH. -The pulpit of the Metho- dist church was acceptably occupied, on Sunday last, by Mr 'Win. Gray 'in the morning, and Mr Jas. Leatherlaud in the evening; the pastor, Rev J. Gal- loway, and family, and some friends are enjoying a couple of weeks' camp life at Bayfield. At a union meeting of the Christian Endeavor and Epworth League societies, held in the Presby- terian church, on Tuesday evening of last week, Miss S. McLean, who at- tended the great Q. E. Convention re- cently, held at Cleveland, presented her report, which was descriptive of what she saw and heard, and was in- tensely interesting. ELECTRIC LIGHT. -The building be- ing erected by Messrs Scott Bros., in which will be placed their new electric light plant, is nearing completion. It is a very substantial building, and will add very much to the appearance of that part of the town in which it is lo- cated, near the station. It is expected that the plant will be ready for opera- tion on the 1st of September, the date on which the above-named firm takes over the old town plant. Many in town are putting incandescent lights in their business places, and a few resi- dences are having them in, and men ape ltusy. a- work•iereetin the'wires-Tel that purpose. Our town, during the coming season, will be brilliantly light- ed, and will give the town a splendid appearance at night. DEATH. -Mr Chas. Lowrie, who was a familiar figure on our streets, passed away to his long home on Tuesday of last week. A little over eighteen months ago he received a paralytic stroke, which laid him up for some time, and left him without the power of speech. For some tune past, how- ever, he has been able to go about, and each day would take a walk about town. On the afternoon of the day on which he died, Mrs Lowrie had been up town, and on returning home found Mr Lowrie not feeling very well, and very soon after he passed quietly away. When the announcement of his death was made a general surprise was felt. Mr Lowrie had been a resident of Sea - forth for a good many years, and was highly respected by his many acquain- tances, who extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow and family. The funeral, which was largely attend• ed, took place on Thursday, to Burns cemetery, .Hullett. NOTES. - An excursion, under the auspices of the Methodist church choir of this place, will be run to Niagara Falls, on Saturday, Aug. 18th, at the low fare of $1.75 from Seaforth, and including stations to Sebringville.

On the breezy banks of Bayfield, Where the billows break below; Where the pearly pebbles glitter In the evening s dying glow - I sit and watch the water, As it runs in little waves To kiss the tiny brooklots As they hasten from the caves. The western sky is tinted With the setting suns last rays, As they throw their golden draw bridge For the fairy foot of Pays; And the painted landscape quivers In the dying evening breeze, As it ripples o'er the water Or nestles in the trees. OUR GUESTS - "And thus they love it still, And constant roam by the pebbly margin." The visitiors who are here at present many of whom came at the enn of June, and intend rewining till Sep- tember, are more del ghted every day with Bayfield as a summer resort. Several from Detroit and elsewhere are looking for sites for summer cot- tages, while all are counting on a lon- ger and still more enjoyable season next year.

CHURCH NEWS—On Sabbath morn- ing, about twenty-five Presbyterians drove to the Front Road church to hear Rev Dr. McKay, the missionary to China. • Rev J. A. Turnbull, B. A., L;L. D., of West Presbyterian church, Toronto, preached to a very large congregation in St. Andrews' church, on Sabbath evening. MrHall will preach next Sab- bath, as usual. Rev. T. L. ,Armstrong, the new in- cumbent of Trinity church, arrived last week and occupied the pulpit Sabbath morning,On Tuesday he left for Chat- ham, whre he took part in a service of which he was one of two most interest- ing participants. Next Sabbath a stu- dent will officiate here, but after that Mr Armstrong expects to take charge himself' SAFE BATHING GROUNDS. - Consid- ering the large number of campers, picnrcers and hotel guests who bathe along the shore here every year, it is remarkable that not one was ever drowned, while Goderich, Grand Bend and other less favorably situated water- ing places, have had their waters dark- ened by the death of many. There are no safer bathing grounds on the lake than where the Bayfield hotels have their bath -houses, and with their fine, sandy bottoms, we venture to say no more agreeable. But strangers coming here should know that the water around the piers is generally deep, es- pecially of the north pier, and if they cannot swim they should keep a few rods farther up lake. Alittleprecaution will enable the visitor to enjoy himself without danger, and at the same time not run the risk of spoiling Bayfield's enviable name for safe bathing. PERSONAL.—Miss E. Lowry, of Ethel, is a guest at the residence of Dr. Stan - bury at present. Miss Hattie Middle- ton, of Goderich township,was visiting among her relatives here last week. Miss Jennie Struthers, of Goderich, is. renewing old acquaintances in and' about Bayfield. Misses E. and L. Yates, of Oil Spring, who were visiting Miss Lily Elliott, have returned home. Mr W.

Mr Robt Elliot has the contract for repairs and -if a bad job ,can be rnade good he will do it, A GOOD WORD. -Mr Y. McLean M. P. P., editor of the Seaforth Expositor, always has a good word for Bayfield, as may been seen in several issues of that paper. Last summer he came out with a long article on "Bayfield as a summer r esort" in which he spoke from personal observation. He said "Bayfield is one of the most charming places for a mentally tired man to go' for rest and recuperation that we know of, in fact natur e has done much for Bayfield as a quiet, healthful and agreeable summer resort while for children it is a perfect pardise." Inv last week's issue another article headed 'Bayfield'sBreezes" con- tains some mare kind r orcls as well as sound advice to his t+ ••nsrnen, "Our citizens in large num. • • are taking advantage at this season . our near- ness to Bayfield, with its c, .ling lake breezes. It would be a good thing for both Bayfield and Seaforth if our peo- ple would take even further advantage of their, opportunities. There rs noth- ing like a day at the lake to sweeten the temper and rest the nerves of a worried business man or a housewife burdened with many cares. For ir- ritability, try Bayfield." THE VISITORS ENTERTAIN. - For some weeks the Queen's Hotel ball had been the leading topic of conversation among the summer visitors, and Satur- day evening was looked forward to with no small degree of pleasure. - Though in some respects not a good evening for a party, it was chosen for the convenience of those Londonerq who could only come up on Saturday, to remain over Sunday. besides the forty odd visitors at the hotel, invita- tions were extended to a number in London, who together with those from Bayfield, made a company of about 60 invited guests. The rooms of the hotel Were beautifully decorated with cedars and rushes, while Chinese lanterns lit up the piazza and lawn. The new din- ing hall was used for dancing, and was declared an excellent place for tripping the light fantastic. After an enjoyable time had been spent in the giddy maze, lunch was served and the party broke up before the midnight hour had struck. Mr and Mr's Pollock, the host and host- ess of the Queen's, were unsparing in their efforts to make the party a suc- cess, and it is largely to their zealous participation that the very enjoyable evening -is to be attributed. WAVELETS. -Mr McEwan, of Hen sall, gave his large band of employee and their families, their annual piens to Bayfield, on Saturday; it is these yearly outings that has helped to make Mr McEwan so popular among his workers. The Expositor says: -"Mr W. D. Bright, who is one of Seafor 's most devoted disciples of Isaac ktan, while trolling at Bayfield on ti riesday last, in the river, got one of` finest black bass we have ever see weighed a pound and three quarters healso got a fine pike, andhadanothe bass even larger, but when almost in• the boat it broke away from the hook." A very peculiar yacht from Detroit ar- rived here on Tuesday; it is built in three sections, whacb run parallel, and which are held about- four feet apart by iron braces; the centre boat is very' long and narrow, with one mast in it. while the side ones are shorter, and " tended merely to keep the centre,' from toppling over; the fishermen h think it is only a playthieg for a heav,, sea. Mr Joseph Brown has been doing some brick work on No. 3, Stanley, lately; his artistic finish always merits praise, especially that seen on chimney work. Our annual visitors, gipsy Drummonds, spent several days camp- ing here last week. We are informed that a handsome young couple, blush- ing in the bright light which issued from the River Hotel, drove up to that popular hostlery, at a late hour, one evening this week, to enquire the way to- Rev Mr Turnbull's cottage; the di- rection was quickly given, but the mystery still was, "What did they want with the preacher?" A very thoughtful mark of respect was the lowering of the River 'Rotel flag to half mast, as the funeral of Mrs Bea - compassed, on Thursday afternoon. Mr James Cameron, assistant photo grapher to Mr W. D. Trott, has to an excellent view of the Queen's Hotel with its numerous guests in front of it. The funeral of Mrs Beacom, which passed through the village on Thurs- day last, to the cemetery, was the larg- est seen here for years; it numbered over a hundred conveyances. The vil- lage clerk has received a communica- tion from the Minister of Militia, say- ing that it gives him great pleasure to confer a cannon on the people of Bay- field, and that he has issued the order for its shipment; those who have so far laughed at the id'ea,wiil perha_ s waken up when they see the freight bill which they must help to pay out' of . their • own pockets. Picnic parties from Sea - forth and Clinton occupied the grove, on Tuesday, Mr J. Tippett has got started at the building on Main street, which he intends converting into a harness shop.
