FALL BLOSSOIKS.-Sotnething unusual in September, with frost hovering around, is blossoms on a sixteen ounce pippin apple tree in the garden of Mr. James Hearn, town. TEMPERANCE SERMON. -Next Sun- day evening a special sermon will be preached in the Baptist Church by Mr. Coltman to the Independent Order of Good Templars. Members and the general public invited. The Lodge meets on Friday evening to make final arrangements. DON'T DODGE A BIKE. -We take the following from wheel talk, the leading wheelman's paper of United States. and think it may be of some use to some of our ,citizens :-Here is a bit of advice which should be as widely spread as possible. Send a copy of it to your ocal paper : Dont dodge a bicycle rider either reale or female. Stand still and the rider will get along' all right. Posts, trees, stones, etc., never dodge, and only beginners ever run into them. If you see a "bike" coining straight at you, don't dodge ; if you do you will confuse the rider. If you stand still ,� "in the middle of the road," or wher- ever you happen to be, the rider will take care to give you plenty of room ; but if you go dodging to get out of the way, the chances are there will be a collision and you will be the worst hurt of the two. Therefore, don't dodge.4 A FAMILIAR FACE. -The Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Express issued a souvenir number containing 16 pages on the 7th inst. A heavy toned paper is used in the edition throughout, and the history of the rising city of the great lakes, biographical sketches of the Sault's leading citizens, judiciary, churches, school and business places is very complete. In .,referring to His Honor Judge Johnston, whose familiar photo appears and who is too well known in this section to re- quire introduction, the Express says: Frederick William Johnston was horn in Goderich, educated in the pub- lic and grammar schools of Goderich, was articled to Judge Sinclair in 1864, and the last six months of his term was put in with Mr. Justice Patterson of Toronto. Admitted as a Solicitor in May term, 1870, entered into partnership with the late John Davison, Q. C. of Goderich, was called to the bar in 1872 and remained in part- nership with Mr. Davison for 20 years, until appointed junior Judge of Al- goma in 1890, was appointed revis- ing officer for East Algoma, and on the death of Judge McCrea in July, 1892, was appointed senior Judge of the district. W bile a resident of (lode - rich his Honor's municipal career was particularly brilliant, having been elected alderman, deputy reeve, and reeve, in which he served for eleven • Years. He was elected warden for the county of Huron in 1872 and at that time was the youngest warden in the province of Ontario. He contested the west riding of Huron for the local house in 1882 against the Hon. A. M. Rosa, the late Pro.rincial Treasurer. A singular incident in connection with the late Judge Sinclair is, that he was appointed Judge of the county of Wentworth, B. L. Doyle, his student, whom Judge Johnston succeeded, was appointed junior Judge of the county of Huron and his Honor, the subject of this sketch, was appointed to Al- goma." e Town Topics. THE OPENINGS. -Clinton merchants are always abreast of the times. In years past the fall openings have taken place on Saturday, but this year next Tuesday will be the date. This will give citizens and country people an op- portunity to visit the Huron Central Tuesday evening and Wednesday. BASE BALL. -There was an interest- ing game at baseball in the count' town last Thursday, between Goderic and Clinton. The contest was between the Juniors of both towns, and result- ed in a defeat for the' Olintonians in a score of 18 to 24. Our boys speak in the highest possible terms of their treatment at the hands of the Goderich boys. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. -A Hen- sall subscriber in remitting one year's subscription in advance for this paper says :-"Having noticed one of your gentle reminders which says that the label ought to read 1898, and finding mine indicating 1895, I conclued to ask you to change the same. To get you to do so I am aware it takes a dollar bill, so here it is. Tirn EWS- BECORD is worth every cent of it, for in my opinion it is rapidly becoming (if it is not already) the best local paper in the County of Huron." FRUIT EXPORTERS MEET. -Between twentyand thirty representatives were present at the annual convention of Fruit Exporters in Toronto last week. Freight rates were considered and a committee appointed to consider the grading of apples, with a view to ob- taining Dominion compulsory legisla- tion. Tlie election of officers resulted as follows :-Presklent, Mr. A. E. W. Peterson, Toronto ; Vice -President, Mr. Sam Nesbit, Brighton ; Secretary, Mr. G. A. Cooper ; Executive Committee - J. C. Smith, Burlington; Frank Everest, Toronto ; J. M. Suttleworth, Brantford; W. Dixon, Hamilton ; David Cantelon, Clinton. EDUCATION IN ART. -In another column it will he seen that Clara. H. Mountcastle has thrown her studio open to the public. In this she is only a little in advance of other artists who we hear are going to do likewise. Miss Mountcastle is the founder of art in the northwestern portion of Ontario, where fpr over twenty years she has been doing a good work in cultivating a taste for, the beautiful. Education in art is just as important to civilization as education in literature, and levery one should understand that when he has an original picture. it is the only one of its kind in the whole. world ; whereas, if he owns a chromo or print a dozen of his neighbors may each have one precisely like it ; and here let us observe that there is as much differ- ence between an original panting and a chronic) as there is between machine made lace and the real point. Miss Mountcastle is a member of the wo- man's art association which is the highest honor she can attain to in Can- ada. She is supported in her efforts to cultivate more taste for art in this sec- tion of the Dominion by T. Mower Mai tin, of . Toronto, member of the Royal Canadian Academy, well known to fame, who contributes two pictures. These alone will be well worth seeing, and as to Miss Mountcastle, she has spent the hest years of her life among us, and; during these years, all who asked to view her works have had free access to her studio. The trifling fee of ten cents is now charged to cover expense. of framing, light, &c. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.-Proba bly never' iefore has any church in Clinto een so elaborately or tasteful y decorated as was St. Paul' ast Sunday. The occasion wa the annual harvest thanksgiving ser vices. The decorations represent° several days work by a number o ladies and the result was indeed mos gratifying, The gallery, walls, chan- deliers, pulpit, baptismal fount, read- ing desk, chancel, &c., presented a scene reminding one of the bountiful fruits of the earth and the liberal bless- ings of the Almighty. As William Somervile wrote one Autumn morning in 1677 Now golden Autumn from her open lap Her fragrant bonntiee ehowers ; the fields are shorn ; Inwardly smiling, the proud farmer views The rialog pyramids that grace hie yard, And counts his large increase ; his barna aro stored, And groaning etaddlestbend beneath their Load, is also true in 1895. The harmonizing tints and hues of nature's work, arranged so tastily by God's own in- strument, woman, impressed the on- looker that we are living in a land flow- ing with milk and honey and have much to be thankful for. The decor- ations comprised natural grains, fruits, flowers, &c., in such profusion that one might be impelled to exclaim: - Awake, my soul, and with the eon, Thy daily stage of duty run ; Shake off dell sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. Rev. Mr. Moorehouse, rector of Christ Church, London, preached able and propriate thanksgiving sermons and ministered communion in the morn ng. He was assisted h Rev. Mr. reeborn, of Blenheim. In the even ng the congregation was unusuall large. Both services were of a particu- larly hearty nature and each could say :- How are thy sorvante blest, 0 Lord 1 How rare is theirdefenoe I Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their hofp Omnipotence. The evening text was from Genesis, c. yiii and part of the 22nd verse, and the minister particularly referred to the faithfulness of God and his assur- ances of the annual harvest. Tho rev. gentleman is a calculating speaker, presents his points clearly, and makes a good impression on the bearer. The choir, under the leadership of Mise Mc - Hardy, was at its best and the anthems were exceedingly well rendered. The offertory amounted to over $146 and this will he considerably increased. As far as possible the decorations will remain for next Sunday. We un- derstand the decorations will he photographed. Town Topics.

LOCAL UNION. -The Executive com- mittee or the Local Union met Tues- day evening at Mr. H. Foster's resi- dence. The next Local Union meeting will be held on Oct. 4th in the Baptist church. The program is one of unusu- al interest, the subjects being thor- oughly practical and in line with the times ; they are assigned to two com- petent societies-Londesboro and Rat- tenbury St. E. L. of C. E. The sub- jects are:-lst, "The social life .....of' Christ ;" 2nd, "Saturday, and its rela- tion to the observance of the Lord's Day." A live discussion will" follow the treatment of each subject, in which discussion all are at liberty to partici- pate. Reserve the date, Oct. 4th. - Go at. a House OF REFUGE JOTTING. -Mr. McCuaig has been making the approach to the barn and grading about it. In the building the doors and sash have. been hung and the woodwork is now getting its third coat of paint. The plastering is nearing completion and a very good, smooth, hard surface has been put on by Mr. Croll, whose repu- tation will be much enhanced by the work he has done here. The quality of the pine used in the trimming of the building gained the commendation of those who know a good thing when they see it. Bennett & Wright have commenced the fitting up of stearn pipes and apparatus. Rice, Lewis & Co., of Toronto, supplied all the hard- ware of a. most satisfactory kind. Reeve Kennedy has been most assidu- ous in looking after the work around the barn. LEAVING TOWN. -Many readers of THE NEWS -RECORD will regret to learn that Miss Sheppard. who has been on the staff of this paper for the past seven years, is about fo leave town. She goes to New Haven, Conn , where a more lucrative position awaits her. Iu our twenty-five years newspaper experience we have never had a more faithful, reliable or painstaking em- ploye, and this is saying a great deal. It did not matter whether the work was in the reportorial line, in the composing room, make-up, reading proof, or at the teat of custom, she has ever been faithful, prompt and cour- teous in the discharge of duty. She pretty well understands a printing office in all details and none less than the practical side of it. THE NEWS - RECORD has pleasure in wishing the young lady abundant future success, no 'natter where her lot may be cast. HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL. -The Epworth League of Christian Endea vor of the Ontario Street Methodist church is to he congratulated on the success attending their efforts last Monday evening. A splendid dinner, such as the young people of the church. have earned an excellent reputation; for getting up, was served in the school, room from five to eight o'clock. The concert was alike a success. Rev. Mr.' Ford offered prayer and performed the duties of chairman. The programme;' was opened by a capital address from• Mrs. Ford, president of the League ;; then followed a chorus by the Choir vocal duet, Mr. Sibley and Miss Hattie Rumball; solo, Mr. R. B. Foster address, Dr. Shaw ; selection. Harmon is Club; recitation, Miss Mountcastle ; solo, T. Jackson ; instrumental trio, Messrs. Emerton, Kerr, and McRae ; vocal trio, Messrs.

The Mile Matches. YOUNG BLOOD SCOOPS IN THE CASH -A GOOD DAY'S SPORT. Last Friday the twenty-fourth annu- al matches of the Huron Rifle Associa- tion were fired over the Atholcott Ranges. The day opened fine and clear, with a rather stiff breeze to test the judgment of the expert marksman. Locally there were a good many new shots, while the attendance from a dis- tance had materially fallen off. The prize winners as given below bring the names of new local men out quite prominently :- FIRST MATCH. Name 200 and 500 yards. Pointe. Capt. Wilson 1st, $7 .58 H. Read 2nd. $6 57 J.

Riter, J. Emerton, J. H. Combe, Allen & Wilson, Kilty Bros., Harland Bros., J. 13. Rumball, Jackson Bros., Horace Jackson, J. E. Hovey, Davis & Rowland, Johnson & Armour, THE News-REcon.n, J. McClacherty, J. Biddlecombe, N. Robson, L. Kennedy and J. C. Miller. When THE NEWS -RECORD last week said some of the young shots might develop into a Hayhurst, our surmises were well founded. Ben. Gibbings made a possible at 400 yards -seven "birds" Harry Read as a "coacher" has few superiors. His judgment, like his eagle eye, was rarely at fault. Veterans like N. Robson, John John- ston and Capt. and Col. Wilson were fin warm company all day. The 200 yard target should he placed in some position of easier access to the range. John Miller, nor a new shot, showed many good signs of a coming marks- man. The young shots should now procure rifles and make a study of "how to shoot." J. Spooner was in pretty good form and his rifle was well warmed many times. - J. Emerton was not in shooting trim. H. H. Ross, A. 'Turnbull, D. Macpher son and the other nursery men will - surely continue. Every one of them are lik.dy to become expert marksmen. The markers and scorer Jackson per- formed their onerous duties to the en- tire satisfaction of all. The Huron Central Fair. Whatever may be the opinion as to whether township fairs have outlived their usefulness or not, there is no doubt that the county fairs, or more strictly speaking fairs for the electoral divisions of counties, are still serving a good purpose. It does seem that they will ultimately be the centres from which the choice products will be selected to exhibit at the larger central fairs. It is as easy now to collect the products of a whole riding as it was to collect those of a township twenty or twenty-five years ago. As the exhibi- tion of the Huron Central in Clinton is approaching it is to be hoped that farmers, manufacturers and merchants will all do their hest to make it more successful than ever. There are few Ridings in the Province more favored agriculturally. than this and it's ex- hibition ought not only to take a good, but a leading place amongst those of the Province. The time is next week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Letter from one of the Oldest Medical Doctors of Niagara Falls, Ontario. Niagara Falls, Ont., May 7,1895.

Whilst cutting oats the other day Mr. Thomas French, of Logan, dis- covered 70 stalks of barley proceeding, from the one root.

The Ashfleld and Wawanosh Agri- cultural Society have issued a neat prize list for their Fall exhibition, which is to be held at Dungannon on Thursday and Friday, October 10 and 11th. Wm. McArthur, Dungannon, is secretary of the society. On Wednesday the remains of the youngest child of Wm. Stothers, clerk of Ashfleld, were interred in Zion cemetery, Ashfield. Her age was About two years and the cause of death was diphtheria. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. A most painful accident hefel the six year old daughter of Mr. Eli Heywood, of the 10th concession of Usborne. She was playing around the barn, where they were cutting straw, and in some way got her hand caught petween two cog wheels of the cutting box, smashing the third finger to a jelly. At a meeting in Wroxeter of the Union base hall team, held one even- ing last week, to wind up the affairs of the club, a very satisfactory report was presented. Out of 88 games play- ed since organization, 72 were won, and out. of II played during the present season, 9 were won.

He has had little training and been on the road but two years; and while elo- quent in his delivery his subjects are well selected and full of deep thought, bristling with illustrations which carry ready conviction. Mr. Millson has a bright future before him, and if he can bridle his eloquence and thus preserve his strength, he will prove a valuable acquisition to the cloth. -Times.
