-A,-ROUND THE HUB.
What wide-awake and reyable correspondents find worthy of reoordiog for publication.
ELtillett
Bu r -run. --The friends of Mr Adam
Weir will be pleased to learn that after
two weeks severe illness, he is able to
be out again.
ACCIDIONT.—On Saturday last while
Mr Chas. McIntosh, er., of the 7th con.,
was on his way to the harvest field,
with a sulky rake, he met with a pain-
ful accident. One of the shafts came
out of the harness and falling caught
the ground, breaking and throwing"
Mr Mclntosh out, when the horse
kicked him. Fortunately no bones
were broken, but he was pretty well
bruised.
DEATH,—We are sorry to announce
the death of Mr Richard Barkwell,
which took place at the residence of
his son-in-law, Mr W. Hiles, on Friday
last, at the age of 76 years and 10
months. Deceased has been in deli-
cate health for years, and has not
been able to get out very' .much for
some time, a circumstance that was
felt particularly by deceased so far as
attendance upon church was concern=
ed, for no one was more faithful in
church relationship, or enjoyed its
services more than he. Born in Dev-
onshire, he came to this country and
settled at Port Hope, where he resided
for some years, and where three bro-
thers and a sister still survive him.
About 15 years ago he moved to
Londesboro, buying a farm near the
village, where he resided for several
years, subsequently taking up his resi-
dence in Clinton; after a eesidence
there of a few years he moved back
and has since made his home with his
son-in-law. He has been closely iden-
tified with the Methodist church the
greater part of his life, holding for
many years the responsible positions
of class leader and local preacher, and
it can be said of him that his life har-
monized with his profession. As the
end approached he realized the pre-
ciousness of the Saviourhe had so long
served, and passed away triumphant.
He leaves a widow, five sons and two
daughters—Mrs W. Hiles, of Londes.

spect to his memory. The pall -bearers

law. The funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. Mr Andrews, assisted
by Rev. Mr Fair, a recent pastor of
Londesboro circuit.

everybody enjoyed themselves and the
receipts were good.
MOVING.—Messrs Cullis, Goldthorpe
and Anderson leave this week by boat

railroad ties, shingles and taking out

LEAVING.—Mr David Weir, who has
very efficiently filled the position of
teacher in the junior department of
our public school, is leaving at New
Years. He has secured the Harlock
school for next year.
PERSONALS.—The Rev. Mr Hender-
son is absent at present; his pulpit is
supplied by the Rev C. Young. Mrs

of London last week, she met Dr.

cure a practise near that city, but did
not succeed.
RETIRING.—Mr James Young has
disposed of his house,".gn King catreet,
to Mr John W- gner, of the Maitland
Block. Mr Wagner is retiring from
farming. Our beet wishes are with him
in his new venture, and may he long
be spared to enjoy the leisure of vil-
lage life, in his declining years.
AMEN To rt.—We are heartily in
sentiment with a large number of your
correspondents, in the laudib)e under-
taking to prevent the desecration of
the first day of the week by' publishing
the names of those who are guilty of
breaking the fourth commandment.
We hope it will have a beneficial effect.

A GItHAT L1eNGT11.—Mr Frank Nae -
gal has corn which measures 18 feet 6
inches. Itis not very often we see
corn that length in this country.
EAi:s,T Sownio.—The earliest Fall
Wheat clown in this section was put in
on Friday, the 2lst inst. by Mr Peter
Fisher o! the Maitland, He sowed
about seven acres.
CIDER PENHB.—Mr Chas. Fieher has
once more got his cider' rase to work.
As apples are only worth about loo a
hundred at the evaporators, there will
no doubt be a great deal of cider made
this fall, so that we may expect good
cider vinegar for years to come.
ACCIDENTS.—While Mr Woods the
teacher, was returning home to Gode-
rich.on Thursday -.evening. his wheel
collapsed, while he was going at a high
rate, and gave him a header into the
ditch; he got badly bruised about the
head and was unable to take charge of
of his school for a day or two. Mr
Joseph Fowler of the Oth Dor. had the
misfortune to get his arm broken just
above the wrist, by getting it caught
some way in the spokes of the wheel
of a waggon.
FRUIT,—Mr Richard Jewell has sold
off his orchard about 1000 baskets of
plums. It is estimated that he has at
least 1500 barrels of apples. As yet
there have been but few buyers around
and all that have come offer from 50c to
75c a barrel. Why do not the farmers
combine and give some man, or one of
their number a certain percentage or
so much a barrel to sell the apples.
Surely they could clear about 50c a
barrel. At least it wbuld be worth try-
ing—never venture, never: win.
LEAGUE.—The League in connection
with Bethel church held its regular
weekly meeting on Wednesday the
19th inst. instead of Friday at which.
Mr E. Armstrong, of Goderich, ad-
dressed the meeting on the be-
half of the Foreign Missionaries. Mr
Armstrong is a young man of good
ability, at present taking a third year
course at Torcnto University. He de-
livered an excellent address, appealing
very strongly for ststematic giving of
a small amount per week in support of
Missionaries in foreign lands. The
League also held its meeting on Wed-
nesday, this week, in order to allow
those who wished to attend the Con-
vention held in Goderich yesterday

from this League are Misses Carrie
Snider and Lizzie Olivant.
NOTES.—Mrs, Miss Laura and Master
Ed. Fisher of Kincardine and Mr Rich.
Fisher of Rat Portage spent Sunday at
Mr Henry S. Fisher's. Mr Joseph Ash-
ton and wife were hastily summoned
to Essex Centre, as her father and mo-
ther were dangerously ill with typhoid
fever;on their arrival, however, they
had taken a change for the better
and after etaying a few days they re-
turned again to spend the autumn here.
Mr Joseph White left last week for
Manitoba, in order to be there in time
for the harvest. Mr Henry Young is

Ashfleld last week, but is the guest of
Miss McDonald now. Mr J. H. Camer-
on, of Brussels, visited friends in
the vieinity.
Varna.
BUBINns13 ENTEIIPRTSEB.—Mr Ben.
Higgins, an old Varna boy,but for the
last few years a resident of etroit has
opened out a harness shop in one of
Mi Jas. ArmNtrong's buildings. As
Mr Higgins has had a long experience
in the business and is an expertwork-
man, we feel satisfied he will do a large
trade, as a harness shop was ver y
much needed in our village. Mr Parl-
met, of Hensall, has rented Mr Beatys
building beside their store, and intends
opening out a tailor and gents' furnish-
ing establishment in a few days, there
is an excellent opening for both these
gentlemen and b strict attention to
business they will no doubt do well.

chen have gone to their home. John

day in Exeter. Rev. J. H. Higgins
and family left for their home in the
county_ of _D.lndae en . Friday last.

perienced cellar maker is in theempploy

hustling to Ripply the demand for his
harness. Mrs J. A. McAsh is the
guest of Mrs M. A. V. Armstrong.
Miss Fannie Fothetingham left on
Wednesday morning for London where
she will attend the millinery openings
The numerous candidates from this lo-
cality are asking impatiently why the
results of the examinations have not
yet been published. Several from the
Christian Endeavor of the Union
Church are attending the County Con-
vention being held in Goderich; much
benefit is received by those who attend.
On Monday afternoon while J. B. Aik-
enhead was using a hayfork he had the
misfortune to get his right hand
caught in the pulley nearest the fork,
with the result that the bone of the se-
cond finger was broken and the flesh
lacerated. Many picnics have gone
trom around here to Bayfield this year
but few have excelled the London road
one which was held last Saturday;
the day was cool, water rough enough
not to be monotonous but not too
rough for pleasure, and the attendance
not too large. Harry Johnston, of
Goderich, is visiting friends here.
Londesboro
NOTES.—The Christian Endeavor and
Epworth League both appointed dele-
gates to the convention in Goderich
this week. The lawn social at the
Methodist parsonage on Tuesday even-
ing was a very successful affair; a good
crowd was present, and all seemed to
have a good time. Mr Robt. Cole is
somewhat indisposed at present; it is
hoped It will not amount to much, a
short rest may do him good. Mr J.
Bell sold a fine driver to Dr. Ferguson,
of Hensall, the other day. Judging
by the crowds who assemble from
time to time in Bell's hall for enter-
tainments, and also by the nuricber
left outside who wish to get in but
cannot, it begins to look as if Mr Bell
will have to enlarge the hall; it accom-
modates about 300 now, and is a large
hall for a small village, but it wouldn't
begin to hold those who wanted to get
in on Wednesday night.
PICNIC AND CONCERT.—For some
time back the farmers of this vicinity
have been looking forward to and pre-
paring for the Harvest Home picnic
and concert announced for the 26th.
Unfortunately the morning of the 26th
was wet—decidedly so, and it was
feared the picnic would have to be
cancelled, but it cleared off in the after-
noon, the sun came out in alt his
strength, and people gathered with
their baskets, so that everything went
along just as if no rain had interfered
with the arrangements. The picnic
was held in Belmont Park, on the farm
of Mr Lee, just east of the village, and
was an excellent place therefor, but
the attendance was smaller than it
would have been but for the rain. The
sports consisted of a sack race, blind-
fold race, egg race, potato race and a
well contested game of football be-
tween Belgrave and Londesboro teams,
resulting in a draw. The strains of
Auburn band enlivened the afternoon
proceedings. In the evening aconcert
was held in Bell's Hall, ar.d it was
more than crowded. The program
embraced Bolos by Mies Hill, Miss Ad -
miss and Miss Pearl Andrews, Londes-
boro; Miss Patterson, Auburn; Miss
Yahn, Ottawa; and Prof. R. Downs,
Clinton; recitations by Miss Wilson,
Auburn; Mise Yahn, Ottawa; and Mies
Andrews, Londesboro; instrumental
duet, Miss Adams and J. Melville; trio,
Misses Scott and Clark and Mr Clark,
Auburn; address on butter making,
Prof. Dean, of the Agricultural Col-
lege; on Home Circle, by R. Irwin;
reading by J. H. Lowery. Several of
the pieces were encored, and R. Downs
had to reepond to four encores; the
program was well rendered through-
out, and,tbe committee feel themselves
under obligation to all taking part,
and particularly the friends from Au-
burn. R. Holmes, of Clinton, occupied
the chair. The proceeds will about
meet the expenses incurred.
