Martin ) Mr. H. Butson, of Goderich, one of the wor•ktnen on the harbor, wet with a serious and painful accident last Sat- urday, one of the heavy timbers being rolled on his foot crushing the instep rather badly. Dr. Stanbury attended the injury. The three hotels Albion, Queens and River Hotel, opened out. on Monday under new licenses. This is the same as last year, but the River Hotel will be under new management, Mr. J. U. Miller having leased the pretuises and has made extensive changes in the house for the accommodation of the summer tourists. The people are beginning to think a now era has dawned upon Hayfield, and that with a display of new life and vigor the place will now advance rapidly. Great improvements and changes are being made this year and that together with a great influx of visitors during the season will snake our charming village what it ought to be, the nicest, tidiest, thriftiest spot in Ontario. We hear occasional mutterings of some dissatisfied applicants for posi- tions on the harbor staff. There are being more Laborers imported from the outside distant parts of the country than is usual on such occasions. Bayfield can boast of workmen capable of taking their places alongside of any others in this country as carpenters, framers, stonemasons, etc. and why it is necessary to pass these willing and ueedy hands by to give place to men from places distant twenty or thirty miles, is something not readily under- stood.

Aitche- son, two teachers from Drysdale, wheeled into town last Sunday. Mr. Jewitt is experiencing muchdiftl- culty in getting a suitable bottom for the foundation of his new house, on account of springs. Sudden Death.—It is.. our duty this week to chronicle the sudden death of one of our oldest and most respected citizens in the person of Mr. John King, who has been a resident of Hay- field and vicinity for nervily half a cen- tury, and it was his pride to tell of the pr'osper'ity of this village about forty years ago when it was the great wheat market of Western Ontario. On Thursday he was about the streets as usual and had a pleasant word for those with whom he suet and on Fri- day morning, April 29th, at six o'clock, without any warning, except the ap- proach 01 age, the dread messenger ar- rived. His death was sudden andappar- ently painless and was no doubt owing to heart failure due to old age and nat- ural decay. It would be a blessing if death came to us all .in a similar man- ner and then we would realize the truthfulness of the saying that death was but a fallingnsleep. Deceased was a native of the county of Armagh, Ire- land, when he was born in that most eventful year 1815. When twenty-two years ofaRshe emigrated to(an Canada settling first in the township of Ulm k, in Eastern Ontario, and it was- there he 'net and married his faithful part- ner in life, Eliza Davidson, who pre- deceased him about nine yeare ago. After residing in Clark about thirteen years they removed to this district, settling in Stanley township about where they resided the remainder of their days and where they contrived to raise a large family of intelligent and well -doing children, ten of whom live to mourn the loss of an indulgent father. Several of the children are settled in and around Bayfield and are well-known in this district. Mr. King was a fanner, a kind hearted and in- telli entgentlemanwhosefamiliarform and kindliness of manner will be missed on our streets. He was a consistent member of the English church and a Conservative in politics. During the latter years of his life he had resided with his daughter, Mrs. D. Harrison, of the village, and it was from the Har•- risons' residence the funeral took place on Sunday last, a large number turn- ing out to pay the last tributy of re- spect to an old townsman. The re- mains were interred in the Bayfield cemetery. Deceased leaves one broth- er who resides near Moorfleld. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved fancily, eompled with the wish that the decline of lite may be to them as peace- ful as it was to him whom they mourn. His life was a true exemplification of the words of the poet : Life we've been long together Through sunshine and through cloudy weather, 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twill cast a thought, a tear, Then steal away, give little warning, Say not good night, but in some brighter clime, Bid me good morning." Bandon---lullett. Mr. T. Adame raised the frame of his new haru last Wednesday. Mr. Adams will have a fine building when it is completed, which will he done in good style as Matt Mains has the con- tract. The size is 50 by 70, requiring about 120 men to raise it.
