The holders of the cup are so determined to keep it that they even bring a man' up from Guelph to play, who really wins the game for them. Although the boys are credited with no goal, they feel confident that the ball once passed the goal keeper, but since the Seaforth umpire had left, it was not counted. • Score 8-0. The following composed the team :-L. Whitely, captain ; W. Newcombe, P. Campbell, R. Baird, F. Buggin, T. Courtice, F. Hartley, J. Baird, M. Thompson, J. Whydon, don, W. Baird. A GOOD RECOMMEND.—The Berlin Record says of a former Clintonian:- Berlin loses an estimable young man in the person of Mr. Robert Gardner, the g.enial Clerk of the Walper House, 'who for the past three years has oc- cupied that position with credit to him- self and employers. Although a young man, he possesses the qualities requisite for such an important position. By his kind and courteous manner and strict, honest and careful business ways he gained many friends, and was large- ly instrumental in building up the re- putation and trade enjoyed by the pro- prietors ot the Walper House, as being one of the best conducted hotels in Ontario. Apart from his business Mr. Gardner made few associates. He was a faithful member of the Kni hts of Pythias, and still holds the office of Keeper of Records and Seals, which he will be obliged to resign, much to the regret of the members of that organi- zation. Mr. Gardner leaves for Lon- don to fill the office of Clerk of the Te- cumseh House, where he will no doubt he pleased to meet his many friends when visiting London, We wish him prosperity and look forward to see him elevated to a high position as men of such good character and ability de- serve. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken was ever made in vain. We would reccommend him to the citizens of London as a gentleman worthy of their confidence and respect. Tow11 Topica, ST.

It is on some farms a Sunday jpb, and not always every Sunday eith- er. All animals need a regular supply Of salt. Dairy cows especially cannot do well without access to salt at all bines. Recently an American experi- ment station has been making trials along this line, and found after repeat- ed tests that cows regularly salted gave 24°, more milk than did the same cows when salt was removed from their reach. J. L. Sturdy, of Harriston, formerly of Goderich, is an inventor of consider- able talent, several of his patents be- ing he widespread use.

Mr. Sturdy is having a sample machine erected to test the capabilities of his newest invention. On Wednesday night last .while Mr. Strong, who has rented Mr. Hays' farm in McKillop, was driving home to Tuckersmith and when nearly Apposite Egmondville church, it seems that he inet a Mr. Simon McKenzie driving ra- pidly into town. it appears that neith- er saw the other and both were on the good track. A collision wa, the result, when the shaft of Mr. McKenzie's bug- gy ran into Strong's horse, killing it in- stantly. The dead horse, we under- stand, was owned by Mr. T. E. Hays and was loaned to Mr. Strong for the occasion. This week Roily Beatty takes Wanda to New York, where she is entered for sale by Fasig & Co. at Madison Square Garden.

The rig was engaged to go to Goderich, and Baker promised to return it the following Monday. The rig was not returned as promised, and notwith-` standing that diligent search has been made, no tidings can be ascertained of the whereabouts of either Baker or the rig. • It has been ascertained that Ba- ker staid in Goderich over Sunday, and on Monday a man answering to his description, stopped at Cook's hotel, Varna, and watered his horse, Baying he was going to Bayfield. That is the last heard of either him or the rig. Baker is a short, stout, fair complex- ioned man and when he left here he wore a Salvation Army uniform. The horse is a dark grey, about 15 hands high, and the buggy is a Whitechapel box with top, newly painted. One of the shafts was cracked, and wrapped around with leather.

WHITELY.— On Saturday morning Albert G., son of Mr. Joseph Whitely, died after a very long illness. For a considerable period it was known that there was no possi- bility of recovering, hence his death at the early age of 22, was not a surprise to numerous friends of the family. The interment took place in Maitland on Monday afternoon in presence -of a large number of relatives and friends. FRAM THE BRUCE PENINSULA.— Messrs. Butson. Pretty, Walter Sher - mon and 0. Pennington have retured from their trip to the Bruce Peninsula, each sportsman having brought down the number of deer allowed by law. The gentlemen report an excellent sea- son for sport, and the weather being generally favorable, the season of 1895 will be classed among the most success- ful of the decade, The deer were more plentiful than for years past and the quality of the venison we vouch for.

The bale was a large one and iii addition to the annual outfit of their adopted Isabel contained all kinds of wearing ap- parel, bedding, footwear, toilet articles, &c. When Isabel and her dusky com- panions open the gift from Gode- rich the appearance of candy and fruit among the useful articles will be per- haps not the least welcome tribute. CALL TO A MINISTER.—Guelph, Nov. 14—The congregation of Knox church moderated in a call to a pastor on Wednesday evening. Five names were proposed. On a vote being taken, the Rev. J. A. Anderson, B.

INSPECTOR HODGSON ON OUR COL- LEGIATE.—We have been permitted to take the following extracts from the report of Ipspector Hodgson who made his annual inspection of the Collegiate Institute last week, The board and staff of teachers have every reason to feel gratified with the report, and the town should alike feel proud of possess- ing such an excellent educative insti- tution. The extracts speak for them- selves : "Since last visit of inspection the building has been calcimined, etc., and is now in excellent condition throughout. The time table is ar- ranged excellently, and the division of duties among teachers and the ratio of pupils are satisfactory. The teaching in alt departments is of at very high order, and is graded as follows : (I good, II fair, III poor, IV bad) English I, Clas- sics I, Mathematics I, Science (Botany and Chemistry) I, Drawing I, Commer- cial (Bookkeeping and Writing) I, Drill Calisthenics and Gymsastics I, Reading I. -II. Note by Princi- pal, French and German were not marked at this visit, but have been graded 1 on previous visits, Staff= all legally qualified ; dis- cipline excellent; pupils alt regularly admitted; text books in accordance with the regulations and registers prop- erly kept. As regards the general tone of the Institute and its circumstances for work I believe that it is ip better conditiuu than it has been heretofore. T aur conseioui that this is a strong statement, but atm confident that it is borne out by the facts." PIONEER Nelsen AWAY.—On Friday one °of the best known men in this portion of Huron Co., John 'Morris, pasbed to the better land after one week's 1 loess. The deceased gentle- man had passed roan's allotted time by fifteen years. Nevertheless until some two weeks since he was hearty and active and in full possession of his mental faculties. John Morris was always cheery, had a kindly greeting for every person he mei`, and with the young, particularly the femenine portion, was ap especial favorite. Many and many a time has the kindly old gentleman walked or driven round the sgipfre to gather up the younger residents of the township for the pur- pose of treating them to trait, candy or ice cream, and on these occasions the geniality of the treater was the lead- ing feature of the entertainment. Not long since the subject of this notice was one of a quartette of old residents of Huron, photographed by Sallows, the united age of the four being con- siderably over three hundred. Until his last illness deceased was frequently in the circular town, and on many ot these occasions his buoyant step at- tracted considerable attention. Well, he is no more, all that was mortal now resting in the burial plot of his much loved township, Colborne, but in the time to come the visitors to his earthly rest, the hundreds who have known him will be near the remains of the lovable old man of Huron, and but few of these will pass from the sacred spot without moistened eye, and fond re- membrances of the good old soul, John Morris.

Hall, of Belgrave, perform- ed the marriage ceremony between Miss Jane 0. Scott and Win. Scott of West Wawanosh. The bride entered the drawing room on the arra of her father while the strains of the wedding march by Lohengrin were pouring from the organ at 7 o'clock, whither the expectant groom with his hest man and the bridemaids had preceded her. The bride was dressed in a beautiful costume of French armeaux, trimmed with white silk crepon and pearls and carried a heautifnl bouquet of white roses and orange blossoms. The.
