a fine program of music. This, coupled
with the local talent, will furnish one

in this section.
NoTEs -Picking and packing apples is

came out they were heard siring "We
won't go home till morning,' and they
didn't either.
East Wawanosh.
A PRETTY REsinENCE.—The new
house of Mr Giles Jenkins, on the front
road, is nearly completed, and presents
a fine appearance from the road. It is
of white brick, two storey with a
° beautiful front portico; the work is
handsomely done, and we hope Mr and

the comforts of so fine a residence.

PARTY.—Ae the winter approaches
it carries along with it those little so-
cial gatherings called p 4rties. The
first of the season was held at Mr B. R.
Higgins' on Friday evening of last
week, and all the invited guests are re-
ported as having spent a most enjoy-
able evening. We hope to see a con-
tinuation of the gatherings, as they
tend to develop social Intercourse.
We hope to hear of more in the near
future.

who is attending Clinton Model School,
spent Labor Day at Mr George Baird s.

tend Detroit School of Medicine for a
time, with a view to taking his M. D.
degree, and resume his pr actise here
some time soon.
CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.—We
noted some time ago that Mr Wm. Ri-
ley had rented the Barkwell farm and
was going to give up framing. This is
now changed. Owing to the death of
Mr Barkwell, sen., the property is
changing hands, and Mr Riley has giv-
en up the lease, and will continue to
follow framing as Moral. He is still
on the war path, and on Monday, while
driving to Mr J. Richardson's, in Gode-
rich Township-, accompanied by his
youngest son, he had the misfortune
to lose the little fellow's overcoat. He
would like to meet the party who
found it.
DEATH. -The wife of Mr Geo. Rudd -
elf, of whose serious illness mention
was made last week, passed away on
Sunday. She was a highly esteemed
resident of this neighborhood, one of
the pioneers of Hullett, and had been a
severe sufferer for many years. She
leaves a grown up family to mourn the
loss of a good mother. Mr Henry Rud -
dell, of Morden, Man., arrived home on
Tuesday evening to attend the funeral;
it is seventeen years since he went out
west. The large attendance at the fu-
neral on Wednesday showed not only
the esteem in which she was held, but
the sympathy of the community to-
wards the bereaved husband as well.
NOTES.— Our sports are practising
pitching quoits, and if any of the
neighboring towns have a club of the
kind, we would like them to come
here and have a friendly game some
day. The Industrial Fair has drawn a
fair quota of visitors from this village
aid neighborhood. Mr W. H. White-
ly is progressing favorably and will
soon be out again. Mrs Allen is also
doing very well at present, and is like-
ly to be around again before long. Mr
Joseph Riley is nursing a lame leg; it
was caused by an adze. Mr A. Wilken

tended visit home, returned to London

burn, who has severed bis connection
with the Presbyterian church there
was last week presented with a gold
watch and chain.
FIRE APPLIANCE—Our village fath-
ers have made a purchase of a hand
engine for fire purposes. It seems to
do goud work, but we hope it will be a
long time before it will be put to a real
test, as we have had our share of fires
for the last year.
CHANGES.—Mr S. Marshall has rent-
ed his farm near here to Mr James
Howett of Ashfield; Mr James McGee
has rented his to Mr Henry Gooier; and
Mr John Murdock has sold his to W.
Scott, of Westfield; possession in each
ease to be be given on Nov. let.
NoTEs—Quite a:large number of our
Good Templare took in the picnic on
Monday, and spent a good time there.

London, so dame rumor states; it is
eettfd there is a sort of magnetic attrac-
tion for one of theta there. Mr D. E.

AN OLD NEWSPAPnR.--Mr Essen has
in hie possession what is perhaps the
oldest paper in Huron. It is called
"The General Evening Post," and'
bears the date of "London, (Eng.)
March 13th, 1798." One very interest-
ing item refers to the notice given in
the House of Commons by Mr Wilber-
force prior to making his celebrated
motion to abolish the slave trade.
MORE DETROITERS.—The beautiful-
ly situated property of Mr John Essen
on the lake bank, hoe always been a
coveted part of this charming summer
resort, especially among American
tourists. Few but have .admired its
admirable locations and many have ex-
pressed the desire to have a summer
residence on a point commanding such
an excellent view of Lake Huron. The
property adjoining this was purchased
by aDetroit physician over a year ago,
and now another Detroiter has pur-
chased a portion of Mr Esson's block,
and has the plans all completed for a
beautiful residence in the spring. It
is said that other Americans have been
looking at the several acres that re-
main, with a view to making a regular
Yankee addition to the village.
A JOLLY TIME. -It was a jolly crowd
and a jolly time they had at the home
of Mr J. Wild on Friday night of last
week. Gallant lads and bonnie lassies
came from long distances to take part
in the first country party of the seas-
on. The spacious kitchen was cleared
out, and with several fiddles
quivering in every string under
the touch of that veteran viplinist, Mr
Jno. Bannerman, of the Sauble Line„
assisted by such popular young musi-
cians as the Taylor Bros., of the Front
Road, the house soon resounded from
cellar to garret with some three score
merry voices, and the pattering of ma-
ny nimble feet. The dancing was con-
tinued until the dial of time revealed
another day breaking over the -eastern
hills.
NOTES.—Mr Arthur and Miss Hicks
attended Toronto Exhibition this
week. Mr Ambrose Smith returned to
college at St.Catharines on Monday.

The members of Trinity church picnic -
ed at the park on Wednesday last and
spent a very enjoyable afternoon. The
cider mill is doing a rushing business
these days. Mr John Whiddon's evap-
orated is running night and day, and a
large amount of apples is being hand-
led; Mr Whiddon has just put in an-
other machine, and may have to erect
another drying-kild before king. La-
bor day did not give the public school
children a holiday this year. Bayfield
Fall Fair will be held on Oct. lst•2nd.
Mr and Mrs James Yates, of Goderich,
were guests at the Methodist parson-
age on Labor Day; Rev H. Wigle, of
Carmen, Man„ and Rev W. J, Wadd-
e11, of Kippen, were also visiting at the
parsonage this week. Mr Yeo, sr.,
gave an instructive address before the
Epworth League on Sunday evening;
the spirited singing of the congregat-
ion is a very attractive feature of the
Epworth League services. The sand
bar creeps slowly across the harbor's
mouth; oh, when is the government
dredge to appear?
Porter's Hill.

town, but could not perform all of their
business.
CHURCH NOTES,—The floral commit-
tee of the Bethel Epworth League are
to be commended for the manner in
which they have brightened up the
church with their floral offerings.
There is a growing interest in the Ep-
a orth League services each Wednes-
day evening. The paper given by Mrs
Oaten on "Methodism" and Dr Shep-
pard on. "The young Christian in busi-
ness" are worthy of special mention.
AN ExCITING TIME.—Apple trade is
booming in our midst; there are quite
a number of buyers in the Held, caus-
ing the price for apples to be on the
rise, Some of our local buyers are go
excited they are trading their horses
for faster ones, so as to be able to get
over the groundat a greater speed, but
even the speedier horses come in at a
foaming heat. One started early one
morning, for a certain point down

home much invigorated. During his
absence his pulpit was supplied by
Messrs Brown, Taylor and Armstrong.
FALL WORK.—Quite an acreage of
fall wheat is being sown this year.
Threshing is nearly completed, and on
account of its dirtyness this year no-
body will be sorry when done. Grain
has turned out fairly well, with the
exception of oats, which do not come
up to expectations.
FAMILY GATHERING. — Mr Joseph
Wilson, of the 7th con., and hie part-
ner in life celebrated the fiftieth anni-

Allister, of this township; Messrs Jos.

with many other friends in wishing
this esteemed couple many years yet

ther, Mrs Scrimgeour, returned from a

cealuses the genial John to wear a pleas-

A FINE BUILDING.—the new public
school in this village is rapidly ap-
proaching completion, and is decided-
ly a credit to both the trustees and
contractor. It looks to be larger than
necessary, but the trustees no doubt
know what they were doing when
they let the contract, and look for an
increase in the school population. We
presume that when it is ready for oc-
cupation it will be formally opened
by the Minister of Education with
suitable exercises. The contractor is
Mr II. Stevens, of Clinton, who- is en-
titled to much credit.

Hensal 1
E. L. of C. E.—On Monday evening
the E. L. C. E. held a literary mission-
ary meeting, when music, recitations
and addresses on the line of missionary
work were given. The talent display-
ed by some of those taking part was
good, and if this can be taken as a sam-
ple of their "literary's," they will se-
cure a reputation which will guarantee
them a crowded house.
MISSIONS.—Last Sunday was the
missionary anniversary on the Hen-
sall circuit. Reeve W. H. Kerr, of
the Brussels Post, preached in the
morning, and gave a thoughtful, elo-
quent sermon. In the evening Bev Dr
Henderson, of Toronto, gave an ad-
dress on "Missions." His address was
thoughtful, impressive and eloquent.
The congregaticn was held spell -bound
and the contributions and subscription
towards the mission fund were satis-
factory.
LABOR DAY CELEBRATION. — Tho
sports here on Monday last were a de-
cided success and were attended by a
large crowd. The base ball match be-
tween Zurich and Hensall was closely
contested, both being good clubs and
each having won a game on former oc-
casion made it very exciting. but re-
sulted in favor of Hensall. Owing to
the heavy rain on Sunday, part of the
bicycle course was pretty heavy, con-
sequently no very fast time was made;
each class had a large number of en-
tries, and the races were the principal
feature of the day. The following is a
list of the winners: —Boy's half mile,
best 2 in 3—Cook, Palest, Rattenbury;
time 1.30. 1 mile, local—Bennett,Cook,

DEAR SIIrs.—Raving examined the double
bank organs in the different exhibits at the •

others which I examined. The quality of tone
produced was a genuine surprise to me. I cart,
