. The Glorious Twelfth
A Biz Day at Gollerich
FIFTY STAND OF COLORS IN LINE AND
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS.
The 206th anniversary of the Battle
of the Boyne was celebrated at Gode-
rich in a most commendable manner
last Monday. About 5.30 n. in. the
hovering clouds opened and welcome
showers from the heavens watered the
whole earth. Heavily loaded trains
from the nor th, south and east -some
of then mnved•with difficulty, while
others required two engines and still
others had to be cut in two -carried
one of the largest and hest behaved
concourses of people that has over con-
gregated in the county town. From
Clinton several hundred people drove,
while 377 bought railway tickets from
here. At Goderieh the energetic recep-
tion committee, in charge of Bro. M.
O. Johnston, were amounted on white
steeds and performed their ditties to
the hest possible advantage. Every
effort was made to provide for the
inner wants of the eight thousand
visitors, and we believe there was not
a solitary individual allowed to go
hungry. At 2.30 the immense proces-
sion was formed on the old cricket
grounds by Marshals John and Robert
Scarlett, James Rusk, R. Tichhourne
and assistants, and marched to the
beautiful Harbor Park. The Lady and
Gentlemen True Blues, Orange Young
Britaina, bands of music and fifty
stand of colors presented amost impos-
ing sight. The order was : -
Lady True Blues.
Gentlemen True Blues.
Orange Young Britons.
County Master Neil and Speakers.
County of North Perth.
County of South Perth.
County of North Middlesex.
London.
North Huron.
South Huron.
Arriving at the Park, County Mas-
ter Neil called the assemblage to order
and opened the proceedings in happy
terms. The speakers that followed
were Rev. W. Stout, Rev. James Carrie
and Dr. Freeborn. The addresses were
of a high order, but we regret space
will not permit giving thein this week.
At the conclusion the hand struck up
"God Save the Queen" and the crowd
dispersed for tea and soon all were on
the homeward journey.
We desire to congratulate the
management on the great suc-
cess which attended their well
directed effor ts. In more ways
than one the committee were
hampered. The town refused any
financial assistance, although there
was no legitimate reason for doing so.
These celeheations are a great benefit to
any town. While Goderich has spent
a larve amount of money in advertis-
ing the town, we regret that the Coun-
cil was in this case so short-sighted.
However, the demonstration was an
unqualified success, and the business
nen and able Inanagenreut, under
the direction of Barrister Johnston,
deserve the credit. There was no mis-
hap or unseemly couduct during the
day to mar the proceedings.
Port Albert
NOTES. A gang of men with a tug
from the Sauhle, Michigan, are in the
Port engaged in rafting pine logs
which drifted from Swede river dur-
ing the spring freshets. A large num-
ber of pleasure seekers are staying in
the Port during the summer season.
That august body that governs this
municipality was in full force in the
Port last week in the matter of open-
ing out streets, &c., &c. So far as the
street which runs through the Park is
concerned i say "Woodman, spare
that tree, touch not a single how." -
Haying in this neighborhood is about
finished and' is a very light crop. -
Fall wheat cutting in some places ;
pretty good. Other crops are light. --
We have had very little rain since May
25th. --Our millers are doing a rushing
business. They sold out last Friday
2,000 lbs. of flour by the hag ; hig sale
for one day's local market. -Swarms
of• grasshoppers are lying on the beach
and along the lake shore since that
memorable day, the 23rd June, and
are now doing serious damage to the
green crop in land. If this is the first
consignment of free trade that was to
make the fanners rich, Mr. Laurier
should send up a consignment of bull-
frogs from Quebec, which I under-
stand are very numerous down there,
to eat up locusts from Uncle Sam's
domains.

DRATII of W. Ii. Mt'RNEY.--After
a brave struggle with a complication
of diseases. Mr. W. H. Marney, one
of the hest known citizens of Goderich,
passed away on Tuesday last. Eight
weeks ago he was taken ill with in-
flammation, followed by pleurisy, and
then pneumonia., which so weakened
his constitution that the best care and
medical skill could not save hie life.
Deceased was horn in Prince Edward
county in 183.3, and came to Goderich
about 28 years ago, entering the em-
ploy of Oglivies & Hutchison a little
while after their estaihlishment here,
and remaining with them until his
illness and death. He was a member
of the Town Council for 15 years, re-
tiring at the last municipal elections
to enjoy a well earned rest from its re-
aponsiblities. In society circles he
was an ardent and valued member,
belonging to the Masonic, Odd Fellows
and Loyal Orange orders, in the latter
of which he was for years County
Grand Master, B. K. I., county trea-
surer of South Huron, and held a
number of responsible positions in the
local lodge. In the other fraternal
orders he had attained high honors and
done faithful service. He was a man
entiously strove to fulfil its obliga-
tions to the best of his ability. As an
honorable citizen and a sincere friend
he had the respect of his fellow
citizens, as was abundantly testified by
the very large attendance at his
funeral, which took place Thursday
afternoon. The Masoutc, Odd Fellows
and Orange bodies were each well re-
presented, the fellow employes of the
big trill followed the hearse, and the
Towwt council attended in a body, be-
sides a long line of vehicles. Rev. Mr,
Edge, formerly of Clinton, conducted
the burial- service, and at the grave
the beautiful ritual of the Masonic
Order closed the last sad rites. The
floral mementoes were very beautiful,
consisting of the following: Huron
Chapter, triangle of white roses, car-
nations, daisies and calla lily ; Mait-
land Lodge, square and compass, white
roses, carnations, lilies, daisies and
maiden's hair fern ; Huron Lodge, L
O. O. F., three links of lilies, daises,
roses and white geraniums ; Mrs.
Hutchison, Maltese cross of lilies, car-
nations, candy tuft and mignonette ;
the Misses Huttchison, basket of pan-
sies and sprigs of myrtle with knot of
mauve ribbon ; Ogilviea end Hutchis-
on (big mill), wreath or roses, white
geranium, white sweet pea and candy
tuft; Henry Smith, big mill, three
links (F. L. T.) in sweet pea, carna-
tions and begonia blossoms; Miss
Bingham, handsome pillow of lilies,
roses, sweet peas, carnations, begonia
blossoms, and maiden's hair fern, with
the word "Rest" in daisies ; beautiful
boquets from Miss Jessie Thompson,
Miss Lizzie Campbell, Mrs. J. J.
Walsh, T. G. Tipling, Mr. and Mrs.
Straiton. Mr. Isaac Murney , of Har-
wood, brother of deceased, and Miss
Murrey, of Frankford, his sister were
both present at the funeral. He leaves
a widow, three sons and one daughter.
The sons are W. T. the well known
butcher, Henry J., for the, past eight
years a resident of Montreal, and
Fred, also of town.

S. P. HALLS, B. A., Principal,
Goderich Township.
THE LATEST. -An eccentric grit
pedagogue asked his class if they knew
the "latest" family compact. All
hands were down but one, a well in-
formed lad. "Well, what is it?" asked
Tommy. "The Grits, the Patrons, and
the P. P. A's," replied the lad. School
then adjourned for seven weeks.
HURT.—While Mr. Bert Murphy
was repairing the mower a few days
since he was unfortunate enough to
have his leg torn by one of the guards,
which laid him up for some time. His
many friends will be pleased to see
him round again soon.
Noees.-The new bridge north of
Varna is completed. The old material
was sold on Saturday. Mr. Wm. Beacom
was the purchaser. -Mr. Fred Thomp-
son, of Chatham, is home for the
holidays, and looksas if the business
world agreed with him.
SuwinerhUl.
SPROUTS.—Most of the farmers nave
finished haying and some of thein are
cutting their wheat. This is much
earlier than usual. It is about sixteen
years since wheat was cut on this line
before the 12th of July. -Mr. N. Lovett
has moved his shed north from where
it was standing. -Mrs. J. W. Hill has
returned from a visit to her sister in
Hay township. -Geo. Johnston's little
girl Maude fell of the fence on Satur-
day and broke her arm just above the
el bow.
PROTESTANT SERMON.—Last Sun-
day afternoon Rev. Bro. Stout, of
Clinton, preached a most able sermon
to the members of L. O. L. No. 928.
Along with a number as visiting
brethren from Clinton, Homesville and
Londeshoro they marched in regalia to
the church at 3 o'clock. The building
was crowded. The rev. gentleman
took for his text v. 13, chap. 16 5t.
Paul's lst Epistle to the Corinthians,
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like then, he firm," dwelling
on thdappropriate text as applied to
the Corinthian church. Although
some Protestants might differ as to
whether there was much diflerence be-
tween Protestantism and Romanism,
he would say, if there was not, those
who had congregated and those who
would congregate throughout the
great Dominion and other parts of the
world on Monday, if they were of this
opinion, would be committing a great
sin in doing so. To show that there
was a great difference and that Rome
took the side of error he took up the
ten Commandments, in argumentative
logic, and dissected the two religious
bodies to deflnite conclusions. While
eschewing politics, the rev. speaker
referred to Rome seeut ing special
privileges, rightly holding that many
of the Roman institutions throughout
the country should he subject to
government inspection. In the his-
toric days of Luther, Knox, William
Prince of Orange, &c., strong men
were regnlied, and to -day men of
courage are a necessity. The same
dangers hover over this Dominion.
There can only be justification
through Christ. At, the conclusion
the brethren reformed and marched to
the hall, where the usual votes of
thanks were passed.
