Tinton Ora FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1895. The Rosebery Governinent has4teen working on a very small majority for a long time, and on Monday it was Outvoted in the House of:Commons on a'motion by Mr Broderick to reduce the salary of the Secretary of War by £100 on account of an alleged deficien- cy in the mutitions of war. The •vote stood 132 to 125. It was a catch vote • and not a fair representation of the re- lative strength of parties in the House. Nevertheless the Goveenrnent resigned. Lord Salisbury has agreed to form a Government, provided the Liberal lead- ers will not oppose the remainder of -1r4,---the'binsiriess lb be transected in the o House of Commons,and will not oppose the re-election of the members of his • Cabinet. It ia likely these points will be yielded. Life Insurance at its best. The New York Insurance says:— "We are anxiously looking forward to the time when the Canada Life As- surance Co. will be ready to celebrate ite fiftieth birthday. That time is not very fardistant. The western contin- ent has few older life insurance organi- zations; none with a more honorable record." As an evidence of the enterprise and success of the company, we will give our readers a, few figures. In the year 1875, the annual income of the Com- pany was only $582,735. In 1894 it had increased to $2,861,985, and its assets from $2,412,362 in 1875, to $15,607,723 in 1894, and as the Company has kept its expense much under that of any other Life cotripany, we think its aggressive enterprise worthy of imitation. .As a further evidence of enterprise, its new business for 1894 (taken up)was $4,723,780, whereas that of the Confed- eration was only $3,263,050, and the Ontario Mutual $2,577,200. Additional confirmation of its econo- mical management may be found in the profits paid -to its policy holders.— Take, for instance, the case of SirOliver Mowat, who, in 1851 took out a •$4000 whole life policy, paying annually $94.34. In 1885 the profits had extin- guished the premium,and the company were then paying him $28.70 a year, over and above his premium. In 1890 the amount had been increased to $79M0 and in 1895 to 5144.40, or $50.45 more than his original premium. It is doubtful if any other com- pany can equal this magnificent show- ing. The Canada Life is represented in Clinton by Mr J. P. Tisdall. HURON CENTRAL PAIR Church Chimes. T hot weather reveals the paradex m that mopeople get "coaled" in aura, flier. than 'winter. School holidays come mence next week. Several light show- ers have beep experienced, but much more Is needed. ExAMINATIONs—On Wednesday, 62 candidates wrote on the Commercial examination, of therm 45 were from the Collegiate Institute, and 17 from the various rural schools around Clinton. The entrance and public school leaving exanainations began on Thursday, and will continue until Saturday afternoon, 97 are writing on the entrance and 29 on the public school leaving. The pa- pers so far are considered very fair. Tne presiding examiners at the com- mercial were Inspector Robb and Prin- cipal Houston. The presiding examin- ers at the entrance and public school leaving are Inspector Robb. Principals Houston and Lough.

This CHUR'Cli. —Now that the articles of union between Knox and Melville con- gregations are formally arranged, a welcome social was held on the splen- did grounds at the manse on Tuesday evening of this week. Abundance of provisions were supplied by Melville people and a very large crowd from both churches were present. •After the multitude had been fed a lengthy and varied programme was given on the lawn, consisting of speeches, solos, quartettes, selections by the choir, etc. Rev. John Ross gave an address of welcome, which was replied to by El- der Thos. Strachan, of Knox church. Lawn social on the Rectory grounds, last night, Thursday. J. B.

Dr McDonald, of Seaforth, con- ducted services in Willis Church, last Sunday, and made feeling reference to the loss experienced by Mr and Mrs Stewart. The garden party on the lawn of Mr Shannon and adjoining lawns, last Thursday, was a complete success; pro- ceeds amounting to about $50. The band added to the pleasure of the even- ing. An exchange says;—Rev. W. J. Ford, of Dresden, preached his farewell ser- mon Sunday night, in the Methodist church there. The church was crowd- ed, and the aisles had to be filled with chairs. Mr Ford's many friends are sorry to see him leave. Both he and Mrs Ford are very popular. He will be stationed in Clinton in future. [Mr Ford will occupy the pulpit of Ontario Street church, on Sunday next.] S.A. NOTES. — The battle of music and song at the barracks last Thursday night, was very interesting; there was a fair attendance, and the program was well arranged and rendered. Mr Thor- ley, of Toronto, conducted a special meeting at the barracks last Wednes- day night. Very special meetings are being arranged for next Sunday; the service in the afternoon will take the form of a song service, entitled "Little Alice the Match Girl." The balance sheets for the present quarter will also be read, showing what money has been received and how it has been spent.— The subject for the meeting at 8 p.m., will be Hell in Heaven. LOCAL UNION MEETING,—The next LOCAL Local Union meeting, will be held in Rattenbury Street Methodist church on the eyening of July 5th. This meet- ing promises to be the best yet held. All the speakers have promised to be present, and handle their respective subjects. The following is the pro• gramme of addresses:-1—Hovv best to to interest the young people in En- deavor work. 2—How best to prepare and present the sebject. 3—How En- deavorers may win souls. These inter- esting topics will be discussed respect- ively by representatives from the Pres- byterian Society of town, the B.Y. P.U. of the Baptist Church, and the E. L. of Ontario St. Church. Discussions will follow the presentations of each topic. A cordial invitation is extended to all young people of the community and the public in general. The directors of the Huron Central are determined that each year shall see improvements in their already ex- cellent exhibition. With this object in view they have this year largely in- creased the prize list in horses. They also purpose adding another class for pigs suitable for packing house pur- poses. They offer this year a erize of 35 and $9 for collections of grains and grasses. This should . stimulate some of our 'farmer's sons and daughters,and should bring out some fine collections. The following changes in the rules and regulations have been made: On all prizes of $10 and upward, ten per cent will be retained as a contribution • to the funds of the 9ociety. In classes where there is no competition, first prizes oniy will be awarded. All en- tries must be made not later than six • o'clock on the day preceding the first day of show; any entry made after that date, or any change of entry, will be • charged for at the rate of 25c for each such entry or change. In ladies work no article' which has taken a prize in • former years will be allowed to com- 'pete, except when entered in collection. The prize list is now in course of pre- • paration, and will be mailed to all • Members without application, and to • any °theta who desire it, on application tre the Secretary Wm. tjoats, Clinton. •' A''plettealit 'farewell social was held on the grounds of Ontario St. parson- age, Monday evening, the band being preeent; proceeds in the neighborhood SO' Erwin returned from Midland City last week, after having been engaged there a number o! years.

In trying to manage a warped piece his hand slipped, and came in contact with the machinery, badly injuring the second and third fingers of the right hand, leaving the little finger hanging from the hand, attached by a small piece ef skin, and badly lacerat- ing a small portion of -the palm - -A doctor was called in, who amputated the little finger, and dressed the other injured parts. It is doing as well as could be expected. ALL WERE EQUALLY GUILT Y.—A certain party who lives not far from this village, and his partner, whose residence is nearer the lake, last Friday brought from near the village of Brus- sels, a youthful maiden,whose spark of true womanhood had fled, and heart lessly de 3erted her, leaving the fence to shield, and the blue vault of heaven to cover her. Constable Asquith arrest- ed her on Saturday evening, wander- ing about, and brought her before Messrs Caldwell, Wilson and McDon- ald, J.Ps. They instructed Constable Asquith to escort her to Goderich forth- with, entrusting him with a letter of recommendation to Jailor Dickson on her behalf, ordering him to entertain her at Her Majesty's boarding house, for the next 21 days. There is the one. Where are the other two? At large. HONORS —The Billowing is the stand- ing of ClintOnians at Toronto Univer- sity exams: ----3rd year—Miss N.

Fitzgerald, both officers of the Fraternal Society of "Woodmen of the World," were in town this week endeavoring to forth a camp in this town. While Clinton has nearly all the societies of this kind in its midst, we understand that their ef- forts have been successful, and another will be added to the list. Dr Freeborn will be the medical examiner. CRICKET—The Cricket Club will give the people of Clinton the 'chance to see the finest game of cricket that has ever been played in this town, when the Parkdale club of Toronto, will play a game on Wednesday next, commencing at 10 a.m., sharp. Our boys are in con- stant practice and expect to put up a good game. The Toronto Club are on a week's tour, and are playing the 2nd game here. Through the influence of and indefatigable efforts of Mr Joseph Medley, no admisaion will be charged and seats will heprovided for the ladies. The club would like to see the citizens • of Clinton turn out. was the closing day, and was spent ne ieview before the critical review of pa- rents and interested friends, a large numbet �V Whom attended, A. very pleasant 'task was performed by Rev T. L. Armstrong and Mr John Esson, in the presentation of some hundred prizes to the pupils. A' number pre- sent made speeches, en which the uni- versal sentiment was a very high ap- preciation of the excellent work done by Principal McCluskey and Miss Por- terfield, and of the satisfactory report of the students. A GROWING INDUSTRY. —About nine months ago Mr W. N. Walker moved here from Detroit, and started ag up- holstering and mattress making estab- lishment on Main street. Be made a very creditable exhibit at the fall fair, which introduced him as a clever work- man, a reputation which is steadily in- creasing. He does considerable furni- ture repairing, but his main employ- ment comes from firms in Clinton, Goderich, etc., who send their work here. A few days ago Mr Walker was approached by a large firm in Seaforth to move there and enter their employ, but we hope he will remain here,where he has built up a flourishing trade. Mr Walker is industrious and careful, and deserves his success. SAFE BATHING.—There are no safer bathing grounds along the lake than those used by the hotels here, but not- withstanding this fact we hear once in a while of parties who say they found unsafe places along the shore near Bayfield. •Certainly, this may be true, but it does not alter the truth of our statement. If people coming here, ig- norant more or less of the formation of the beach, will deliberately choose ground not commonly used for bathing by those who live here and ought to know, they must run the risk connect- ed with their rashness. Among the thousands, however, who are in the Bayfield waters every year, not a sin- gle drowning accident has occurred during the last decade, while we fre- quently hear of deaths at Goderich, Grand Bend, etc. If visitors will bathe anywhere away from close to the piers but preferably south of the river, they will find the beach as did the editor of the Expositor, " The safest bathing ground on Lake Huron, and a perfect CHURCH NEWS. —Rev. T. L. Arm- strong, of Trinity church, attended Synod at London, last week. Rev J. McConnell, of Chalk Lake, formerly of Varna, occupied the pulpit of St. Andrew's church, on Sabbath mot ning, and Rev Mr Leech, of Varna, in the evening. Next Sabbath, we understand, is Rev E. Olivaries last Sabbath in Bay- field; he goes to Benmiller. One of the best features in the S. A. here for some time was the visit of the Lassies' Brass Band, on Friday even- ing. So novel was the sight of a dozen fine looking young ladies marching through town and playing musical in- struments, that almost everyone was out to see and hear them. They played very sweetly indeed, and received many words of praise from those who listened. The singing of Capt. Scott, an old favorite here, and Lieut. Petit, was very much appreciated at the evening meeting, which was well at- tended. paradise for women and children. The children's services in connection JUST THE THINGe—In the Clinton with the Methodist church, on Sunday, locals last week there was a suggestion were very interesting. The singing and reciting by the children exhibited good voices and training. Mr Courtice, of Holruesville, spoke in the morning, while Rev E. Olivant addressed a large audience in the evening. Everyone who attended the Trinity • Sunday school picnic, on Tuesday, was delighted with the pleasant time spent at the grove. The program of amuse- ment was excellently executed, and re- flects great credit on all concerned. eirer iYlusic Book! aboutYstarting a stage line between Clinton and Bayfleld, which was very opportune, and if acted upon would, we believe, be profitable to the proprie- tor of the line, and at the same time a great convenience to Clintonians. This would not interfere with the splendid service now given from Seaforth via Brucefield, and would no doubt largely increase the influx of visi.ors by the additional accommodation by way of Clinton. Clinton people would find it The steam yacht from Collingwood, a great boon to have a means of easy which is about the size of Mr Jowett's, access to one of Ontario's rising sum - took the party for a trip on the lake in mer resorts, where the air is as pure the_evening_ - and healthful as a kind Providence can BREEZY BITS—Mr James Sturgeon make it. We at our end are endeavor - moved into his new house near the lake, last Thursday. Picnics are an everyday occurrence in our popular watering place 110W, but Thursday last saw one of the largest crowds of the season; it included the front road Pres- byterian congregation and Sabbath school; the Goshen line Methodist con- gregation and Sabbath school; the Babylon line day schooland parents, as well as a party from Kippen. The Seventh Division Court held a session on Saturday, Judge Doyle on the bench; several cases were disposed of. Mrs Parker has purchased the house and lot on Louisa street, which she has been occupying as tile tenant of Mr Rainnie Armstrong. The visitors and local anglers are finding the fishing in the river and off the piers specially good. Messrs Hugh Grieves, of Sea - forth, and McMurray and Bruce, of Clinton, have rented the cottages which have just been erected by Mr T. J. Marks; they look very pretty with their verandahs overlooking the lake and the picturesque scenery of the riyer. Picnic parties from London road and Hullett were the happy visit- ors to the grove and beach on Satur- day. The S. S. Adjula, Capt. G. A. Bassett, owned by Scott & Co., of To- ronto, was in port on Tuesday night, taking on provisions; it was on its way from Collingwood to Toronto. Court BRIEFS. —Mr Colin Young, a student of Queen's College, Kingston, occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church on Sabbath week. Mr James Young last week went to Hamilton to attend a meeting of the Grand Lodge of For- esters. Miss Mary Sturdy went to To- ronto to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars. The various Sab- bath schools had a grand picnic on Fri- day. Our public school is to be enlarg- ed during the summer holidays; Mr James Young has secured the contract. Miss Jenkins, who has been engaged for thepast two years in our `village school, in the junior department, has resigned her situation, to take effect at the heilidays; if dame rumor is cor- rect, she has secured another situation, with only one pupil to teach, subject to the condition cf "love, honor and obey." Rev W. Baugh will preach at Harmony, near Stratford, un Sunday next. Preparatory services were held in the Presbyterian church, last Fri- day, the Rev A. McLean, of Blyth, of- ficiating; the. sacrament of the Lord's Supper was observed on Sabbath; Rev Mr McKay, of Leeburn, will preach next Sabbath, Rev Mr Henderson go- ing to Leeburn and Union church, Goderich township. A number of the Sabbath school teachers of the Metho- dist church were absent last Sunday, attending the revival services at Gode- rich. Mr Acheson, of Goderich, has opened a branch store here, under the management of Mr W. F. Youngblut, in Mr G. F. Youngblut's building. Mr D. Munro has sold out his hardware to Mr Wel tlaufer, purposing to go into boots and shoes instead; opposition is the life of trade, so it is stated, and we may expect lively times here now. Mr C. Howson and J. P. Brown are busy at present purchasing horses, intend- ing to start next week for the old coun- try with a car load. Mr Munro Baer is busy putting up a new house at pre- sent; Mr Jas. Young has the contract. Crop reports from ()velem show that this has been a most favorable season in the sister Province. Blessed with abundant rain,hay grain and roots yield better returns than for many seasons past. Dr. Higginson, of Winnipeg,died Friday, his clpath being caused by diphtheria, con• traoted while spraying the throat of a child. The patient coughed and some of the mem- brane creme into contact with hie face. A. terrible bush fire has been raging in the vicinity ef Innerkip,Ont., for some days past.

WEDDING—The home of Mr Joseph Townsend was the scene of a happy ga- thering of friends and relatives onrf ues- day evening, the occasion being the marriage of his third daughter, Mary, to Mr Thos, Livingstone, of Hullett.— As the wedding march was being play- ed by Miss Dodd, the couple appear ed, the bride beautifully attired and carry- ing in her hand a bouquet of flowers. The bride was assisted by her sister, Miss Fanny, while Mr Melville Clark acted as groomsman, Rev. W. Smyth officiating. The high estimation in which the bride is held was apparent by the beautiful and costly presents re- ceived. They left immediately for their home on the 2nd con. of Hullett, the best wishes of their friends accompany- ing them. Cornecre.—A meeting of council w held at Weber's hotel, E mondvi on Saturday, June 22; all the men were present. A petition was la' fore the meeting from John and thirteen others, residen village of Egmondville,as council to prevent John McM closing up a certain street iy age.

THANKS, BROTHER. — Accept crur bumble thanks, brother Brucefield, for your kindness in calling our attention to the fact that there is such a thing as the fourth commandment. We in Bayfleld might soon forget about it if we mixed very much with the crowds from Brucefield and neighbor hood who come here on Sunday, but we have three evangelical churches and one of the largest Salvation Army corps in the county, who counteract the evil' effect of our friends from Brucefleld. But our fellow scribe seems to have a wrong ides. of Slinday at Bayfield. Though so many come here, the Sab- bath is strictly observed, so far at least as the Bayfield authorities are respon- sible. While this is the case, it re- mains a matter of conscience with the visitors, and not a matter on which we can either censure or be censured. As long as our Sunday guests conduct themselves as well as they have here- tofore, the ERA correspondent will welcome them in the name of the Bay- field people.
