clothing store in Goderich, the firm in -
forum 1'HENEWS-RECORD, is not correct.

a business. Woo Sing is distributing

DQE CREDIT.—The editor of a lead-
ing Canadian society paper gives our
Golerich correspondent the credit of
writing the most complete report of
the Mllitiary Ball recently held in the
county town.
ONE MAN MAKES A TAILOR.—That is if
he is the right kind of a man. James,
son of Mr. Rohert, Medd, West Wawa -
nosh, is bound to make his mark in the
world if practical work will do it.
Last Saturday he completed his ap-
prenticeship with Mr. Thomas Jack-
son, Huron street. He is an indus-
trious, steady and intelligent young
man and deserves the success he has
and is likely to continue to meet with.
We understand the young gentleman
will likely engage with Mr. C. C. Rance,
of Blyth, for a time.
BAPTIST ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—
There was a fair attendance at the
three services last Sunday. Rev. P.
R. Carey, of Ailsa Craig, delivered
three thoughtful and practical sermons,
one each at 11 a. m., 2.30 and 7 p. rn.
The special collections were fair. On
Monday evening the Young People
tendered a social and literary entertain-
ment, at which there were a good
number present. The whole affair was
of -a high order and worthy of thepromot-
ers. Rev. J. B. McKinnon presided,
the prrggramme being:—Instrumental
by Mr. Yellowlees ; solo, Mr. Harland ;
reading, Jennie McKinnon; solo,
Mr. Foster; address, Rev. P.
R. Carey, subject "Growth in
Grace"; trio, Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Coats
and; Miss Taylor ; solo, Miss M. An-
drews ; reading Mr. Bruce ; solo, Mrs.
Hoover.
AT-HOME.—The At -Home held by
the Oddfellows of town to celebrate
the 75th Anniversary of the Order was
kL decided success. The hall was com-
fortably tilled and a good programme
was rendered, consisting of instrument-
al quartette, duets and solos—vocal
duets, solos, and short addresses by
R. Stoneham, Rev. Fear, Holmesville,
Rev. Smyth, town, and Mr. Searle.
The latter created considerable merri-
ment when he said that in marrying he
had observed the principles of Odd -
fellowship in that he was a father to
the fatherless and a husband to the
widow. Seventy-five years ago there
were but five Ocldfellows but now they
are to be found throughout the civilized
world. During intermission cake and
coffee was served. The singing of God
save the Queen closed a very pleasant
evenings entertainment. Mr F.Alcock,
N. G., occupied the chair.
ROSLAND, (17,784). — This Young
Wilkes Horse is owned. by the Clinton
Trotting Horse Association, officered
by John Beacom, president ; Roland
Jenkins, treasurer, and Lack Kennedy,
secretary. Rosland has a three year-
old race record of 2:30, sired by Aparka
2:221, son of Onward 2:25+, by George
Wilkes 2:22,. dam by Woodford
Abdallah, she of Kenilworth 2:18+,
second dam by Juggler 1267, son of
Harold, sire of Mand S. 2:08'(. Rosland
is a bay horse, foaled in 1890, 151
hands, marked like the great Onward,
with snip and two white hind feet.
He has shown quarlers.in .35 seconds,
and should prove a great sire of trot-
ter:v. His record was obtained over a
half -mile track, when he defeated a
strung field of fast young trotters.
Through his veins flow the blood that
produced Di rectum, 2:05+, Direct,, 2:051.,
Nancy Hanks, 2:04, Maud S., 2:081+,
Evangeline, 2:11/, at 4 years, Alix,
2:07/, Pixley, 2:08+, Lady Thorn, 2:18+,
Margaret S. 2:121, at 4 years, and
96 others who have beaten 2:20. It is
doubtful if such another individual
with speed lines as thick could be
bought without much trouble, and at
a cost of thousands of dollars. He tra-
ces three times to Hambletonian (10),
twice to Marnbrino Chief (11), the
greatest sire of fanious brood mares,
once to Pilot Jr., (12), once to Ameri-
can Clay, (8). Aparka, sire of Rosland
is only six years old, and was bred by
R.C. Church, Frankfort, Ky., who says
Aparka is the fastest colt he ever rais-
ed, and as good a gaited one as ever
sprung from the loins of his great sire
Onward; his record is nowhere near his
limit, and he has shown flights of
speed in his three-year-old form at
faster than a two -minute gait. When
it is remembered that Onward has
more trotters in the 2:30 list than any
horse living, or any !horse that has
ever lived at his age, and his fastest
trotting performer, Nellie Mason, 2:14,
was out of a dam by Woodford
Abdallah, a half sister to the dam of
Rosland, no one will dispute.the right
of Rosland to get fast trotters. Ros-
land will during the s eason leave his
stable, W. Wallace's, Mullett, and
visit Blyth, Belgrave, Dungannon,
Smith's Hill, Goderich, Bayfield,
Varna,, and Clinton, Stock fanciers
should see Rosland.

Suunhcls and is 17/ hands high. Mr.
pading purchased him, last week, in
the township of Normanby, and ex-
pects to make him weigh 2000 pounds

The Wingham Times says :—Same
one who had not the fear of the law
or other consequences before his eyes,
a short time ago, stole one of Mr. (-.
M. Duffield's well-bred and valuable
game cocks • from the hen -house, and
used pini in a cock fight. The bird he
fought against was fitted with steel
spurs, as he killed Mr. Duffield's bird.
10 add insult to injury, . the imis-
cieant or miscreants who took the
bird, brought the dead bird back and
left it in Mr. Duffield's yard. The
strong arm of the law should be set in
motion against anyone guilty of such
conduct.
A. somewhat peculiar case was tried
at the Waterloo Assizes recently. It
was an action brought by a girl
named Dresh, aged ixteen, now em-
ployed in Berlin by the W. G. & R.
Co., but formerly a servant in the
employ of a Mr. Eggar, widower,
and hotel -keeper in Walkerton. Miss
Dresh was the only female employed
in the house. She deposed that de-
fendant did not provide proper fuel
with which to light the fire ; 'that
when he lit a fire he was in the habit of
using coal oil to assist, and that plain-
tiff followed his example with defend-
ant's knowledge and on one occasion
met with a serious mishap whereby
her hands and arms were terribly
burned. After some months she
brought action for damages through
her next friend, Mrs. M. Eby, of Ber-
lin. After hearing the evidence the
jury awarded the girl $600 damages,
though it is altogether likely that the
case will be appealed.
The Kincardine Review says:—The
advent of Madame Kewley and the
statements she made regarding the
fate of the missing Angus Mattheson
and her "impression" regarding the
present location of his body, have
stirred up public interest in that dark
mystery. The matter is now engaging
the attention of the daily papers. The
relatives of the missing man are engag-
ed in soliciting subscriptions to pro-
vide a fund. They will then secure the
services of a diver and test the relia-
bility of Madame Kewley's divination.
That lady is now in Kincardine giving
private readings to all who are curious
enough to pay fifty cents for the
pleasure. The dodgers issued are very
like the proof sheet of a compositor's
first effort. The word "clairvoyant"
is scored out, so also is everything that
would tend to convict her of the pre-
tense that she can reveal the future.
This is the result of P. C. Pratt's pro-
secution of her last week. She was
found "not guilty," but the trial has
had a most profound impression upon
her hand bills.
Chiselhurst.
Mr. Hall, of Varna, rented the black-
smithing establishment here and com-
menced work last week. Mr. Hall

The Ep. League elected their officers

Essie McTaggart was elected president
by acclamation. The League will no
doubt break fallow ground under Miss
McTaggart's presidency.
Our genial P. M., Mr. McTaggart,
has literally filled his store with a large
and choice stock of goods and a more
obliging fellow than Mac. cannot be
found.
Rev. Mr. Louis Parrish, late of Mani-
toba, preached in the Methodist

deed an able and eloquent young man.
Mr. Wm. Leach was in town Tues-
day last. Mr. Leach is a particular'
favorite with the young ladies in this

FENCE REPAIRING. — Mr. Samuel
Johnston, of the Cut Line, has the con-
tract for repairing and straightening
the board fence around the school
house.
TRUSTEE MEETING. — The Trustee
Board of School Section No. 5, Goder-
ich township, held, a meeting in the
school house last Wednesday night,
and for a noisy meeting without trans-
acting any business we think it was
away ahead of any meeting that the
now historic No. 5 ever had except a
meeting held in 1889 when the black
Shorn of the Emerald Isle was wielded
by a strong and willing arm. I think
if the Inspector's Trustee had had a
a little timely application perhaps it
would have done him good. He has a
perfect right to his views, yet the other
trustrees have a right to their's also
