longing to Mr W. B. Forster until the

Forster is among the first, we hope
others will follow his example.

considerable force, the result was a
badly sprained ankle which will lay
him up for sometime. Geo. was to
have gond back to Galt the next day

that his holidays were extended one
week. He is now trying his best to
mend himself by the end of the week.

holidays at Mr Osbaldeston's. Mr J.
Hurley drives a nice little driver now,
a roan Cloud colt.
BUSH FIRE. -F sr•'tTte past foul' or
five days things have been pretty lively
on Ford block. The latterpart of June
Fred Ford was burning off a new piece
of land, and when done the fires all
went out as he thought, and nothing
more was thought of it until last
Thursday, when fire began to show it-
self, and a breeze arising, began to
spread; every thing was so dry it had
run some distance before it was seen
and checked. Friday inorning hardly
a smoke was to be seen, so Fred be-
gan to draw in his oats, when about 10
a.m., a south east wind sprang up and
as he was coming out for a load was
surprised to see the filed ablaze and run-
ing towards the barn, and had al-
ready run half -way across the meadow
next the bush; he and Will Jenkins
were not long in getting a few furrows
run across in front of the fire and about
a dozen neighbors who saw the fire and
ran to help, had alivelyfight for about
an hour;to keep it from crossing over
the furrow. They succeeded in stop-
ping itan d it was well there was so many
on the spot almost immediately, for
had the fire got into the next field,
which was only stubble, it would have
been next to impossible to stop it and
the straw stack and bare would certain-
ly have gone, and with the wind blow-
ing to the north west as it was, the
house and the stubble fields over the
road could not not have escaped:in fact
there is no telling where it might have
gone, it might have taken the whole
side of the township and even made it
hot for lake Huron. Since then it bas
been watched day and night, and has
gained ground only in the bush, the
rain Tuesday has checked it, but if fire
will stay in the ground six weeks as it
did before, the place may not be free
until winter. The fire has covered be-
tween 30 and 40 acres of bush besides
the meadow, and also burnt seven or
eight rods of patent fence of Fred's, and
eight or ten rods for Jack Ford.

APPOINTMENT,—Dr. R.W. B. Smith,
who has been a residen0of our town
for a few years, and enjoyed tL good
practise among the other physicians in
town, has received an appoin,traeut to
a responsible and lucrative poeitibn in
connection with the Hamilton asylum,
and will leave town about the first of
October. The doctor has been an act-
ive member of the Methodist church„
also of several other societies in town,
and will be much missed when he takes
his departure. The good wishes of his
many friends will follow him to his
new position.
CIVIC HOLIDAY.—Last Friday being.
our civic holiday, a few picnic parties
betook themselves to the lake side, at
Bayfield, while a goodly number took
advantage of the cheap railway rates.
The lacrosse matches kept a great
many at home, consequently a very
large crowd of people were present at
the recreation grounds, and all wit-
nessed the best games of lacrosse ever
played in Seaforth, notwithstanding
the home teams suffered defeat. Two
matches were played : Mitchell vs.
Seaforth Juniors, which resulted in 3
goals to 1 in favor of the visitors; Ex-
celsiors, of Brampton, vs. Beavers, of
this place, which terminated in the
Beavers being downed by 4 goals to 2.
The latter was a very fine exhibition
game of lacrosse.
• CHURCH.—A congregational meeting
was held in the Presbyterian church,
on Monday evening last, for the pur-
pose of considering the extending of a
call to the Rev. Mr Guthrie, as a per-
manent assistant- to the pastor of the
church, Rev. A. D. McDonald. It was
decided to submit the question to a
vote by ballot of the whole congrega-
tion. Mr Guthrie has indeed become
popular among the people of Seaforth,
and all will be glad to retain him as a
citizen. He has received a unanimous
call to Walkerton, in fact is wanted in
other places as well, but if the people
of Seaforth decide that he should re-
main here, we believe that Mr Guthrie
is willing to accede to their wishes.
RUNAWAY.—What might have been
a fatal runaway accident happened on
Main street, on Saturday morning last.
Mr Samuel Dickson, jr., his sister, Miss
Ida, and a young laly visitor, were
driving a team of horses attached to a
phaeton, and when near the Royal
Hotel the tongue of the rig fell from
the neckyoke, which caused the horses
to'become unmanageable andrun away.
They ran as far as Richardson's corner,
when the front wheels of the phaeton
were brought in contact with a street
crossing, nearthesidewallr,,_•wbere.it.is.
high up from the road, giving the peo-
ple . is the vehicle.a. very sudden- jerk,
so much so that Miss Dickson was
thrown out. The horses here broke
away and went down the street at no
slow rate of speed. Fortunately no
damage was done beyond the breaking
of the fore part of the phaeton; it was,
however,.a•nat•row escape •frons injury
to those immediately concerned.
NOTES.—Mr and Mrs Beattie spent
Sunday last at Grimsby Park. Mr N.
H. Young, of Blyth, spent last Sunday
in town with friends. Mies S. Jackson,

on a visit to her old home, at Palmers-
ton. Miss Annie Gray, eldest daugh-
ter of Mr Wm. M. Gray, while on a
visit to friends in Toronto. last week,
took a chill, and for a few days it was
feared she was in for an attack of fever,
but we are pleased to note that she is
getting better, and will be all right in
a few days, when she will return home.
There are prospects of the choir excur-
cursion to Niagara Falls, on Saturday
next, being largely patronized. Miss
Mattie Lyon, of Chicago, is home on a

are guests this week of the Rev Mr and
Mrs Galloway. The inhabitants of the

cently moved with his family to To-
ronto, has returned to town for a short
time. A box car, standing on the sid-
ing near the freight shed, was badly
damaged by fire, on Sunday, which
was undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary._ Miss Maud Willson, of the G.
N. W. telegraph office, Weston, is
spending her vacation at the pr rental
home here. So far as displaying the
national colors is concerned, the only
loyal man in town was the new collect-

breezes,• from the top of his office, a
bran new flag. Mrs J.•H. Pyper left
on Saturday last for a few weeks' visit
to friends at Niagara Falls. Mr S.

Hullett
Tun DREDGE.—The dredge has been
successfully launched, but has not yet
commenced work in cleaning out the
channel. With the engine and boiler
only on it the dredge drew about nine
inches of water, which.is considered a
light draught.
A SLEEP WALKER. --The other night
a young man employed with a certain
Hullett farmer, got up in his sleep and
walked about his room; he then under-
took to come down stairs, but missed
his footing and slid down all the way
on his buck, which was considerably
bruised. The fall woke him up.
Accrr. T—Mr. W. J. McBrien, of
base lin , narrowly escaped a serious
'accident on Saturday. He was hauling
in grain for a neighbor, having a little
child on t e waggon with him, when
the horses b came unmanageable. He
caught the hild in his arms a d was
thrown fro the waggon, laving
his thumbslocated; very fort nately
no other d age WAS done.

OUR GUESTS.
"They linger where the pebble-paven shore
Under the quiok, faint kisses of the sea
Trembles and sparkles as with ecstaoy."
It is only a very few years since the
first summer tourist made the discov-
ery that Bayfield was suitably situated
for a resort, and from that day till this
the number of visitors has increased at
a rate which fairly astonishes those
who have watched the progress of our
fame. So great have been the strides
in popular opinion, that notwithstand-
ing the vast improvements which have
been made for the accommodation of
visitors, much is yet to be done before
we can entertain, in. a suitable manner,
the ever increasing crowd of resorters.
Those who have stopped at the hotels
this summer have spoken in the high-
est terms of the obliging and courteous
treatment they have received, but there
are many more who prefer taking a
cottage for the summer, and it is these
for whom we have yet to provide. Bay-
field contains numerous excellent sites
for cottages, especially along the bank
of the lake and river, where "the whole
day long delicious breezes blow," and
where broad beach of the lake and the
wildly picturesque scenery along the
cedar -fringed waters of the river, form
such entrancing retreats' for those who
are admirers of the beautiful.
