Why should a court sustained by the people's money be us • as a means of accusing decent citizens of the crime of perjury? There are some things worse than a bill of costs and a dirty, cowardly insinuation that you are committing perjury when telling the truth, is one of them." DOHERTY ORGANS.—The Toronto Empire says of the exhibit at Canada's industrial Fair:—"One of the most at- tractive and most generally visited exhibits on the fair ground yesterday was that of Messrs. W. Doherty & Co., of Clinton, Ont., the well-known organ manufacturers. Thig firm's exhibit is situated at the old stand in the Music Pavillion. In finish, elegance and uniqueness of design, Messrs. Doherty's collection of the instruments is unsur- passed. Some of the newest cases are simply marvels of beauty. And the exterior appearance, of these instru- ments is indicative of their excellence. So fine is their tone and so delicate their touch that •they have found their wav into every portion of the civilized world. The arrangement, draping and decoration of the exhibit add greatly to its attractiveness."

Ile has an oak clothes chest made in 1488 which is good for many years to come. Basic IN TIDO FORTIES.—In 1841, on the llth of July, Mr. Wm. Smithson was indentured to the carpenter busi- ness in Dalton, York county, England, to William Shipley, grandfather of the Messrs. Shipley now living in this neighborhood. John Shipley, who died some years ago in Clinton, witness- ed the Indenture. The legal seal was affixed at a cost of Li. The document is still in a very good state of preserva- tion, and shows that £15, or $75, .had to be paid by Mr. Ralph Smithson for a trade for his son William. The latter has followed the Cusiness ever since, a period of 53 years last lith of July. His age was 18 when apprenticed and this leaves him in his 72nd year now, still a very smart and hard working man. Boys about to learn a trade would profit by learning the strict con- ditions on which their forefathers served their apprenticeship in Britain. ANOTHER LINK BROKEN.—A few weeks ago the Tebbutt family of Goderich township received word of the accidental death in California, by shooting, of Edward W. Tebbutt, a brother of the head of the family. The demise of Mr. Tebbutt severs another link of the chain of sentient humanity which has bound old resi- dents of this county with the present generation. About 50 years ago deceas- ed's people settled in Goderich town- ship, whore three generations of them still reside. Over 40 years ago Ed. W. removed to Goderich town where he learned the carpenter trade with John McDonald, having as a fellow work- maty- or apprentice ex -M. P. P. and ex - Provincial Treasurer Hon. A. M. Ross. About 1856 deceased removed to California taking with him his wife who was Miss Jane Davis, a neice of Sheriff Gibbons. His wife dying there in 1858 he brought his children to Goderich and returned to California the same year. He was interested in mining ventures there and did very well, revisiting Canada several times. In 1862 he went to British Columbia during the Cariboo gold excitement (for an excellent description of which see "Gold,Gold in Cariboo",to he had from the library of the town Mechanics' Institute.) The writer desires to pay a tribute to the inernor of an old comrade whom he had known in Goderich and in California and with whom he "prospected" the auriferous mountai ns of British Columbia in search of the elusive, shining yellow metal. These constitute portions of the "sea of inhospitable mountains" referred to by Hon. E. Blake. Their steep sides and, narrow valleys reminding one of the serrated edge of a saw ,magnified thousands of titles. Those were days when he whose blood did not circulate faster and whose mental •realms did not contain kingdoms studded with 'castles in Spain" must have been a veritable clod. A bank credit of $30, was the minimum amount the .earchers in quest of the golden fleece would be contented with. Nor did this seem at all improbable of realiza- tion when one's neighbors a few feet off were unearthing 30 to 50 ounces of the precious metal per day, to the ndividual, and which some of us for a time participated in. In this connec- tion it may be montioned as an illustra- tion of the verity contained in, "there's many a slip 'twesrt cup and lip," that the late E. W. Tebhutt along with the writer and others first Iocuted the bold mining claim on Williams' Creek, Cariboo, where was afterward started, .find still exists, the mining town of Barkerville. But our claim, though ecorded, was ".jumped" by "Billy" Barker, who recently died a poor man n a British Columbia hospital. though he proceeds of the claim referred to, properly husbanded, should have made him the possessor of over $100,f, ). And his associates fared no better. Though the mining laws gave a tech- nical right to Barker* and partners, the property morally and by virtue of work done on it, belonged to E. W. Tebbutt, myself, and partners. But it was left unrepresented and unoccupied by us for a few days, owing to high water and awaiting the arrival of machinery to .ops with it. It was in this interim that. it was "jumped." And though over half a million dollars were taken out of it neither jumper Barker nor any of his associates saved any money out of this lenge sumWhich E. W. Tebutt and associates considered themselves defrauded of. It cost money to seek gold in Cariboo in those days. We were glad to get the neces- saries of life at any price and willingly paid $1.25 per tri for flour ; $1.75 per T for Bacon ; $3.00 per p for tea ; $4.00 per lb for butter, $10 per lb for nails and other things in proportion. Manly Ed. Tebbutt 1 honest as virtue itself ; true as Do nascus steel; gallant and nervy as Dan Rixoto himself, with stamina and intelligence the equal of any of Canada's intreped and enter- prising sons in all that constituted the man, you have gone to that reward which it is confidently hoped will repay more than ten thousand fold the one which you were fraudulently deprived of in this world. His com- munion with nature amid the grandeur of some of her most stupendous work, away from the busy haunts of puny, Eernickity mankind, intensified within im a reverence for the Great Architect and emphasized his contempt for the class referred to in the words : "The fool m heart saith there is no God." And yet he did not quite coincide with the censure implied in the quoted words. He did not believe that even a fool in his heart saith there is no God, but that the man who denied a God lacked even the limited intelligence of a fool and must he a full-fledged idiot for some mysterious purpose deprived of a• solitary ray of divine light. Withal he was a man of finely attuned mentality, with a nature responsive to the duties and demands of domestic life. Some years previous to his death Mr. Tebbutt had been engaged in the sawmilling business in the California 60 Red Woyears Of age d at sthe timeofhis death.—X rs' 8114 Parents Will please remembers that school opens on August 27th, and that our Stock of SCHOOL BOORS, ETO., is one of the Largest, Most Complete and Cheapest in the County.
