• MoNt7MENT$,—Messrs. Seale & Hoov-
ler, of ()linton Marble Works, put up a
moltuapent this week in Goderich Cem-
etery, to the memory of the late W.
Morgan, of ' Goderich: they are just
rtete hands -owe tedxvery
in Bafield Ceme-
tery,
by Mr John Beacom, to the mem-
ory of his father and mother.
• .A. Douram WnpDING,--Invitatious
are out for a couple of interesting
events that will take place at the resi-
dence of Mr W. S. 13arland, pn the30th
inst. These are the marriages of his
sister-in-law, Miss Carrie M. T. Simp-
son, to Mr James Elliott, of East Wa-
-wanosh; and of his niece, Miss Mason,
of;East Wawanosh, to Mr M Elliottt,
of the same 'township. A coincidence
that does not often occur is the fact
that both of the intended brides are re-
lated, as are also both the grooms.
LEAVING.—Miss C. A, Taylor, teach-
er of the junior department of the Mo.
del School, declined to re-engage for
next year, her health not being such as
to warrant it. The board parts with
her veru reluctantly indeed; she has
been a most efficient and thorough
teacher, has given the best of satisfac-
tion, and a re-engagement would have
pleased the board greatly. However,
it is a source of gratification to know
that her labors have been appreciated,
and that she retires with the good will
of the trustees, and the esteem of all
who know her.
MILDLY(P)ESAGGERATED.—S omeon e
from Clinton,who is not unknown,con-
tributed a three -quarter -column arti-
cle to the Exposits.r last week, headed
"The Peculiaritietl` of Genius," which
referred to the editors of this town.
The article was well-written, interest-
ing and amusing, and had only one
fault—it, was more imaginative than
real, there being about one-tenth fact
to nine,tenths imagination, at least, so
far as the editor of this paper was con-
cerned. However, nobody was hurt,
and whatever enjoyment the public
had out of it at our expense, they are
welcome to.
THE HENSALL FIRE. — More than
usual interest. was taken here in the
fire which occurred at Hensail, on Fri-
day night last (particulars of which
will be found elsewhere) from the fact
1%icing without fire protection of
thid;-and fearing at -one time the
destruction of their village, the Hen -
sail people hadtelephoned here to pro-
cure the service of the steam tire en-
gine. Whenxft was learned that there
was no water supply other than wells
at Hensall, it was at once apparent
that the engine would be of no service,
as it would drain a pretty good well in
about one minute. However, quite a
. number of people secured rigs from the
liveries, and drove down. The light
could be seen quite easily here, and
from the roof of the town hall the
buildings in the neighborhood of the
fire were visible.
, SHOOTING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday
several persons from town went out
for a days sport shooting. Among
them were Mr Milier, of the Clarendon,
and Mr Geo. Cooper, who is employed
in Emerton's barber shop. Along to-
wards evening a bad accident was ex-
perienced • by Mr Cooper. He was
walking about ten feet ahead of Mr
Miller, who in passing under a log It is
supposed caught the hammer of his
gun, which went off, landing the
charge in Cooper's hip. He was at
once carried to the house of Mr J.
Woods, 4th con., Goderich township,
three quarters of a mile away, and a
doctor summoned from Bayfield, who
dressed the wound, extracting a few
of the -shot. The injury is a flesh one,
and it was feared the hip bone was
broken, but this is not correct. Had
the charge entered straight, it would
have been more serious, but it was a
glancing shot. A couple of medical
men were also summoned from Clin-
ton. He was brought home on Wed•
nesday, and is apparently doing as
well as can be expected. Mr Miller also
met with a slight but painful accident
et the same time, by falling on the
hammer of his gun, which went into
his knee cap, going through his hunt-
ing boots and clothes.
DEATH OP A PIONEER.—There passed
away yesterday to the eternal city, one
who was in the fullest sense of the
term, a pioneer resident of the county.
We refer to Mrs Shipley, relict of the
late William Shipley, of the Huron
road, Hullett, near town. Although
more or less enfeebled for several years
by reason of her age, she has never
had an illness worth mentioning, and
was even able to get up the day before
she died, which was evidently due to
age, she being over 93 years old. She
was a woman of more than ordinary
intellectual force and intelligence, able
to hold her own in an argument that
might be either social, scientific or re-
ligious, and retained their use almost
to the Wet. A staunch member of the
Baptis church for a great many years,
her life was in perfect harmony with
christian principles. Born in Bath,
England, she came to this country over
60 years ago, with her first husband,
the late Thomas Walker. After a six
day's trip from London, through the
wilderness, they reached thislace,
Oiled with historic pioneer zeal, and
the deter mination to hew out for them-
selves a home. Settlement was made
on the farm now occupied by her son,
Mr T. Walker and to her hospit ality•in
those early days many a new settler
was placed under lasting obligations,—
In 1867 she was left a widow. Some
time after she was married again to the
late William Shipley, who also pre -de-
ceased her several years. Of a family
of ten, she leaves five children living,
Messrs. H.R. and ThomasWalker,here,
James, of Dundalk; Mrs Shipley, here,
aced Mrs. W. Walker, of Kansas. The
funeral takes place to -morrow, at 2p.m
DL W fitcrtdot, special,•

Owing to the crowded condition of
-''this departMenb, the room has °been
run on half Woe, and the board decid-
ed to engage two teachers and_'put the
echolare; on full time, Mies Doherty
and Mies Sheppard were accordingl�y
engaged for next year, at a salary $;226
sac . A cumber of accounts were .al-
so passed,.
RRNAWA'tc.—On Saturday last, while
Mr Ross, who drives the delivery wag-
gon for Mr Weir, was passing up On-
tario Street, a dog scared the horses,
which became unmanageable and ran
away. Mr Ross did his best to check
them, the tongue, haying dropped, and
in turning off" the road, they upset the
rig, throwing him out, In the fall he
struck on a tree across the small of his
back, and it was a wonder his back
was not broken; as it was it laid him
up for a little while. Quite a number
of milk bottles were broken, but the
rig was fortunate in escaping any seri-
ousinjury.

ed the appearance of the train, by stat
ing that they had "a solid foot of sno
at Wingham." Mr James Steep ship

time, is very low, and her death is
looked for at any time. The other eve-
ning, while Mr J. Flynn was shoeing a
horse, it got mixed up with the elec-
tric light wire in the shop, and for a

ous, but beyond the breaking of the
