Anderson Sae sold lot 39, con. 13, East Wawanosh, to Thos. Walker, of Wingham, for $1100. THROWING MONEY AWAY.—Judging from the manner some of the beats in this section of the country are doing their statute labor, the late visit and lecture of Provincial Road Inspector Campbell is not bearing much fruit. Tbe huge stones that have been hauled dumped and scattered over the road, to the injury'of horses and rigs and inconvenience of the occupants, is anything but pleasant. It our town- ship councilcould see their way elear to invest in a stone crusher and screen, such material could be manufactured into the v.•^y, best material for road making purposes, but as it is, it is simply throwing away good time and money. A FLOURISHING CHURCH. — This township can boast of haying one of the finest country churches to be found in the county of Huron, with an un- usually large congregation. We refer to Westfield Methodist Church. It is a commodious brick building, with basement for Sunday School, is free from debt, excepting a pmall amount that stands against the driving shed, and has a membership surpassed by very few rural churches. It is one of the appointments of Auburn Circuit, and the corner stone of the building, awas laid by -the -way, by W. Doherty, the well known organ manufacturer, of Clinton. The Methodist people of this particular locality are to be con- gratulated on having so comfortable a place in which to assemble every Sun- day.

AUBURN CIRCLE No. 240.—This let- ter appears in the last number mbar of the Home (Circle Leader: — The regular meeting of Auburn Circle No. 240, is now held on the first Wednesday be- fore the full moon, instead of the 3rd Wednesday of the month, as some of our members live in the country, and prefer moonlight nights to attend the meetings. Perhaps some of out mem- bers who do not attend are not aware of the change to the fine nights our meetings are held on. We would like to have them all try to attend, as they are all welcome and would have a bet- ter idea of the changes. It would be much easier to arrange Circle matters, and we would like all the members to have a voice in the affairs. In fact our Leader is sometimes absent, but we hope he will not forget the night of meetingin future. the e f rture. We have some members who attend regularly, and they would like to see the rest of oar brothers and sisters give us a call. We have not initiated any new members this last quarter, but we are still in hones of getting some soon. Perhaps our good Bro. Marshall will be bringing in a list of new names, es he is a hust- ler to canvass. We hope to have our organizer give ns a call soon, as the busy time is nearly over.

No. 8, 9, 10 and 5. held in Wallace's bush, last Thursday, June 9th, was more successful than the usual run of these events. The 'amusements were excellent in quality and immense in numbers, but the special attraction of the afternoon was the return football match between the teams of S. S. No. 8 and 9. For one hour without a mo- ment's intermission for rest, the hot- test and fastest game of football that was ever witnessed in this township was played by the above mentioned teams. The No. 9 boys have a record of having never been beaten, and al- though they could not achieve victory in this game, they carried of the honor of not allowing the No. 8 boys, who were a contingent of heavy weights, to score. A return and final match will be played shortly, and as it will be played upon the ground of the No. 9 boys, we predict victory for them. The baseball match, which excited con• siderable enthusiasm, was played be- tween the teams of Porters Hill and the notable Bayfield aggregation. The Bayfield boys won by a few runs. The Bayfield Brass Band enlivened the amusements by playing choice selec- tions. The picnic was characterized by the manner in which all seemed to enjoy themselves.

BERLIN DEFAULTED. — The Berlin football team defaulted to the Hurons on Monday in a W.F.A. championship game. This is not the first time that the Rangers have given the dirt to the Hurons, and the latter naturally feel a little sore about it. According to the schedule this season the Hurons were to play in Berlin on or before May24th, the home team to have choice of date. The Rangers selected the 24th, and al- though the Hurons could not possibly get their best team away on that day. they preferred being beaten in prefer- ence to the very unsportsmanlike trick of defaulting. Seaforth had choice of date for the game here and advised Berlin some time a o,andalthough the latter apparently decided to stay at home some days ago they neglected to advise the Hurons of this fact, St. Helens. 81 a year In advance $1.50 when not so paid Wingham. lio'xse,—Rev W.
