CLINTON Hullett `v.WEwHOUSE.—The fine brick house erected on the gravel road, for Mr T. Fear, under contract of Cooper & Mc- Kenzie, Clinton, is rapidly approach- ing completion and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is a building that reflects credit upon all who have help- ed in its erection, and we hope Mr and Mrs Fear may long he spared to en- joy it comforts. NOTES.—Mr Wm. Hiles is putting up a new house for the accommodation of hired men, hand Mr John Medd has engaged with him for next summer. Mr Alfred Cole, who has been on the sick list for some time, is recovering.

Nearly all the farmers have thrashed in this lo- cality and seeding is nearly over.— BARNS.—Mr Matt. Mains seems to follow close on the heels of a fire, and where one destroys he re-creates. The Mason hotel stables, in ,Clinton, de- stroyed by fire, he rebuilt, When Mr Allen, of Colborne, lost his barn by fire, Mr Mains erected another; Mr Snell, near Kinburn, lost his barn and Mr Mains gave him a new one, and a few weeks ago Mr Hugh Ross, of this township, bed the misfortune to get his barn burnt, and here, too, one will be re -erected by Mr Mains. The two seem to go together, but not of ne- cessity. • West Wawanosh. FOOTBALL.—A number of our foot- ball team went to Auburn last Friday evening, where a match was played, which resulted in a tie.

PIcNIc.—Our public school picnic, to Bayfield, last Saturday, was a gratify- ing success. The day was fine, not too cold, as was feared at this late season of the year. The Royal Templars of Temperance of Brucefield, Varna, and some from Kippen were out in good force, which added to the interest of the crowd. A very enjoyable day was spent in boating on the river. ACCIDENTS.—Mr Alex. McConnell, while drawing in a load of peas, left his team tied with the lines, to drive away some colts; the team broke away and ran for the barn, and one of the horses was so badly crushed against a post that it had to, be killed. Mr A. Dunkin and family were „driving to Seaforth, when the front spring of the cart in which the boys rode gave way, and the box fell to the ground, catch- ing one of the boy's feet; the horse, however was soon stopped, thus avoid- ing what might have been a very seri- ous accident. CHURCH.—Revs Mr McDonald and Mr Acheson, of Kippen, exchanged pulpits last Sunday; the latter deliver- ing a very excellent discourse on home and foreign missions.

Mr R. 1 Bowcock has let the contract for a stable. Mr Geo. Wood, west of the 9 village, died on Monday evening; he a had been ailing for a long time. Geo.

OBITUARY.—Forty-seven yearsand six months ago the soul of Jas. Turner was ushered into this world, and on Monday, at 2p.m., it passed to "Where beyond these voices there is peace." Mr Turner was of Irish descent, was born and reared on the Parr line of Stanley, but for a number of years kept the corner hotel of our village. In the spring of 1887, preferring a quieter life, he moved to his fine farm adjoining our village. He was a Ivan of genial disposition, a good neighbor, and a friend to all. He leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter to mourn the loss of a loving husband and a kind father. His eldest son, George, a youth of high moral character, .will now have the heavy charge of looking after three farms. ROYAL TEMPLARS PICNIC.— "Hurrah for the picnic party With victuals on the ground; Bugs in the butter, ants in the cream And "skittles" a -buzzing around." Saturday last was the red letter (kw in the history of:our local Temperance so- cieties; when the Royal Templars of Brucefield and Varna, together with a number of invited "Loyal Tipplers" from the same places, picniced at Bay- fleld. The day was all that could be desired, fine and cool, and at an early hour the rigs began to flock into that somewhat noted summer resort— little difficulty being experienced with the railway trains or electric cars. Bayfield, though locally noted -as a Watering place, is chiefly famous on account of its wonderful productions, which consist principally of fish, ducks, geese and "up -right" hens. It con- tains a large number of excellent hotels with obliging hosts and hostesses, and almost as many fine private houses. It has also one plank sidewalk, of which its citizens are justly proud, as it denotes the beginning of an era of prosperity never before known. This is doubtless destined to become as re- nowned as the famous "Lover's Lane" of Ottawa. Though considerable time was spent "way up on the mountain top tip top" enjoying the good things the lady members of the lodge had prepared, yet the day was principally devoted to boating. On the river you may go rowing, and,but for the num- erous snags, in the shape of logs, stumps, stones, sand -bars, etc., you might fancy yourself on "Peter's Creek." In fact in one way it is super - or, as in the latter there is simply wa- ter, whilst in the former there are large uantities of various other ingredients; 11 of which are, likely, as conducive to health as they are to pleasure. On the river is a steam yacht, which one of the Bayflelders, in anything but a pleasant tone of voice, told us to step rocking. We finally got even with him, when, having stuck fast by run- ning his boat on a boulder in the river, we all shouted "Don't rock that boat," and one of the fair sex sang "I don't want to play in your yard, etc.;" other popular songs were sung, butselections from the Endeavor Hymnal seemed to be the favorites. Considerable time was spent on the lake, which affords excellent facilities for boating, but is limited in size. Some time after Old Sol had softly sank to rest, taking with it its golden drawbridge, the Templars took their departure home- wards, more than ever wedded to their temperance principles. FARM CHANGES.—Mr E.J. Crawford gave up Mrs Longman's farm and it was rented the same day to Mrs Mog- gridge. Mr Crawford is to move to the Moore farm, on the 13th con., in the spring. AT THE FAIR. — Mr A. Woodman left on Saturday morning to attend the Toronto Fair. He spent a few days with Mr Wm. Heal at Sheridan, and then went into the city. Mr W. H. Whitely started on Monday morn- ing for the fair. ENTERTAINMENT. — The Sunflower social and entertainment, under the auspices of the North Star Lode, last Friday evening, was not financially a success, but otherways it was very good. Although the admission fee was low, there was quite a number availed themselves of a free hearing outside the hall at the windows, and when the audience rose to sing God save the Queen there was quite a scamper. There was only one person dressed in male attire in the company, and he was not small of physical pro- portion either; we will not say where he was small. Belgrave NOTES.—Mrs Tufts has receive a leave of absence from the post o ce till Nov. lst, owing to ill health; s e is also having a furnace placed in her store. Auburn. WEDDIr' o.—A very pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mr John Hoare, Elm Grove farm, near Auburn, on Wednesday, Sept. 11th, when his sister, Miss Lucy, was united in mar- riage to Mr W. A. Killouggh of Brus- sels. The bride was tastefully dressed in blue silk, with veil and flowers. She was attended by her nieces, Miss Ella Tyndall and the Misses Carr, while the groom was sustained by his bro- ther, The ceremony was performed by Rev Mr Baugh. The nunierous presents showed the excellent taste of their many friends present from Blyth, Brussels, Exeter, Clinton and Auburn, who wish them every happiness in their new home. The happy pair took a trip south, and when they return will settle down about two and a half miles north-east of Brussels. Westfield ANNIVERSARY.—The anniversary of the Methodist church, at Donnybrook, on the 8th and Oth, was a grand suc- ce Revs. Messrs Becker and Wal - win rendered excellent service, and wer much appreciated.

Mr Torrance will find Mr Lobb to be an excellent tenant. Stanley RETURNED.—Mr-And Mrs John Gil- mour returned from their trip to the west on Wednesday. They went as -far west as Moosejaw; at this point the crops are only a fair average, but around the Portage, and other points, the crops are unusually good. In some way or other Mr Gilmour happened to poison one of his hands, and it settled in the knuckle of the third finger, form- ing the sa9ne as a felon; he had it treated in Winnipeg, but it was not until he reached Clinton that he got it treated and dressed to his satisfaction.

The trial between Mrs Halliday and Stanley council will take place in Sarpia next week; Mr Garrow, of Goderich, lately visited the place where Mrs Halliday was thrown, and had a number of views taken of it, by a photographer; the trial has proved an expensive one already.

Bogie, near Sheppardton. It was called to that happy band at the age of one year and six months, reminding us that the young may die and the old may die. Mr and Mrs Bogie have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement. PERSONAL. — Rev. Jas. Hamilton, who has been with us for the last six weeks, was called home, on Saturday, by a telegram, announcing the illness of his child; we are pleased that, al- though it was a good deal of incon- venience to himself, he returned on the late train in order to take the ser- vices next day; we hope to hear of the child's speedy recovery, although the hope was slight. Rev. A. Craw, a re- cent graduate of Knox college, will conduct the services for the two fol- lowing Sundays. Miss Kirkpatrick, of Kincardine, is the guest of her cous- in, Miss Kate Kirkpatrick. Master Alex. Clutton spent last week with with cousins in Stratford. Mr Clasen Clutton visited relatives here last week. Mr John Clutton returned home, on Saturday, from his trip to Toronto, Hamilton and other places. Seaforth. MURDER SCARE.—Seaforth has been all agog for some days past over a sto- ry that came to town to the effect that a farmer living back of Dublin, be- tween McKillop and Logan townships had killed a female employe of his and buried her with unseeming haste, with- out even providing her with a coffin. The first information to the public was conveyed through the Seaforth Sun of last week in a short paragraph. Since then county constables and a detective from Toronto have been at work on the case, and what at first appeared to be a blood -curdling affair has dwindled down. The corpse was disinterred and doctors examined it. One of the med- ical men says the woman died of con- sumption, and another that heart dis- ease was the cause of death, The po- lice, it is said, are suspicious that all is not right, and are still working on the case, thong, o arrests have been made. It h een learned that the woman was , in a coffin, but that only two per ons were present at the burial. The suspected man is Joseph McKay, a bachelor farmer, and the woman's name is Davenport. The death occurred about two weeks ago. Tuckersmith. NOTES. —Mrs Jas, Nott, of the Lon- don road, is now the owner of the farm on which he is residing; he has been the tenant for a good many years.

Mr Newton Crich spent last Sunday at Hensall. Miss Annie Car- nochan, of Egmondville, is visiting her aunt, Mrs S. Johns. SURPRISE PA. TRY AND PRi+.SENTA- TION.—A pleasant time was spent at the residence of Mr Frank Crich, on Wednesday evening of last week, when a large number of the choir and con- gregation of Turner's church surprised Mr Newton Crich at bis home, and presented him with a complimentary Address and a well-filled purse, as marks of esteem to a worthy young man, and in recognition of his ser- vices as organist for the past two years. Though taken by surprise, Mr Crich expressed his thanks in a few well chosen remarks, telling the friends assembled that he almost felt they had done wrong in awarding him what he had only performed as a duty. His idea of church work was that each one professing to be a follower of Christ should use whatever abilities he might possess for the furtherance of the Christian cause, not grudgingly, but fully and freely and without hope of reward, "However.," continued Mr Crich, "I thank you with all the sin- cerity of my heart, and I am sure this will be the means of spurring me on- ward and upward in the Christian warfare; my earnest prayer is that you, as members and workers in Tur- ner's church, may grow stronger in Christ's cause, till at last, when the signal may be given, we will all be gathered home within the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem."
