Rev. Mr. Clement Cordially Invited Back.
The closing meeting for the present
year of the official board of Ontario St.
Methodist church was held on Thurs-
day evening last. The reports of the
various departments of work for the
year were very satisfactory. Rev. 13.
Clement was unanimously and least
cordially requested to remain as pastor
for the coming year.
W.H. Cook Fell Prom a Tree.
Mr, W. 41. Cook took a header Tues-
day while pruning a tree and alighting
upon terra firma with sufficient vio-
lencea multitude of stars
to see, he cut
his chin so badly as to necessitate hav-
ing itcriss-crossed with sticking plaster.
Mr. Cook has been up trees so often,
either planttng spuds or picking fruit,
that such a cushionless tunable was
wholly unexpected.
Hayes Has Rented the Baechler Perm.
l\lr, Thos. E. Hayes, of Seaforth,
has rented the Baechler farm of one-
thous:aml acres in Goderich township
and will stork it with three -hundred
head of grazing cattle, some one -hun-
dred and sixty of which he has already
purchased. He leas also taken'on (L
hundred head belonging to 11r. Roht.
Winters, of Seaforth, which passed
through yesterday on the way to the
grazing grounds.
,Fire in Colclough's Barn.
Fire broke out under Heath the barn
of Mr. J. If. Colclough On the Base
Line between six and seven o'clock
Monday morning and had not assist-
ance speedily -arrived t he building
must have been destroyed. As it was
a load of straw was consumed and the
flames did other damage as well.
There was an insuianre of two -hun-
dred and fifty dollars which will likely
re -hid -mese Mr. Colclough for any loss.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but, as usual, a ti amp had spent the
previous night in the neighborhood
and suspicion points the finger at
him .
Bicycle Accident.
As Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Milne were
driving on the Bayfield Road, east of
Brucefield, on Sunday they were over-
taken by three bicyclists, one of whom
passed by and on the other two draw-
ing alongside the buggy they began to
wrangle with Me. Milne as to right of
way. Wheels behind hhm, wheels to
the right and wheels to the front start-
led the horse, which quickened its pace
and about this tiine the first wheels -
man who, might perhaps have heen a
long distance ahead, but possibly held
back to listen to the altercation, took a
header in the middle of the road and
almost under the horse's feet. Quite
naturally this frightened the horse still
more and it jumped to one side, but
the buggy wheels struck the hike and
made a wreck of it. The wheelsman,
Dr. Turnbull, of Goderich, also sustain-
ed some injuries and Mr. and Mrs.
Milne had a narrow escape as the
horse, a spirited animal, ran away arid
was not brought under control until
three-quarters of a mile from the
scene.
Epworth League Anniversary.
On May I5th,1880, the Society known
as the Epworth League was organized
in Cleveland, Ohio, and the League Of
Rattenbury St. Methodist church will
celebrate the 9th•lLnniversary by hold-
ing special services next Sunday and
Monday. At 7 a. m. Sunday a sunrise
prayer meeting will be held, which is
to be led by Mr. T. J. McNeil. At 11
o'clock Rev. G. W. Kirby, B. A., of
Brantford, one of the most enthusias-
tic Leaguers in Canada, will preach
a sermon especially to children. The
members of the Leagues, also the S.
S. scholars and officers will occupy the
centre part of the church nt this ser-
vice. At three will be a mass meeting
of Church, Sunday School' and League
members when Rev. Mr. Kirby will
give a short address in addition to an
interesting programme that is to be
supplied by the young people. A spe-
cial feature of the afternoon will he an
address of welcome by a fourteen -
year -old boy, which' will be responded
to by Mr. R Holmes. Special chorus-
es and other musical selections will
make up the balance of the programme.
At 7 o'clock Mr. Kirby will
preach a special sermon to the young
people which is sure to be one of
power and practical benefit to all who
will hear it. On the following even-
ing the specially prepared exercise,
called the Epworth League Locomo-
tive, will be given by about twenty
of the League members, who have
been preparing for it during the last
montl;. It illustrates very nicely the
departments of the Society by leaking
use of the different parts of t he loco-
motive. To these services a cordial
invitation is extended to all who may
wish to attend. The church will be
decorated with mottoes, flags and
bunting, and the League members are
working hard to ensure success for
every session.
Look Out for Burglars.
On Monday,Chief Wheatley wasnoti-
fled by the Stratford police, to be on
the lookout for housebreakers who
were supposed sed t) have struck out in
this direction. The suspects number
three, one of whore is a boy of about
eighteen years of age who hawks about
wares from house to house, presum-
ably spying out, the land.
Spraying Experiments.
From the Spraying Time Table just
received we notice that the third ap-
plication will be given in this county
as s:—G follow oderich township, H.
Curwen'sorchard,Saturday, May 14th
at 2 pan. ; Seaforth, R. Govenlock's
orchard, Friday, May 13th at 2 p.m. ;
Exeter. R. S. Lang's orchard, Monday,
May lOth at 2 pan. The spraying of
trees while in full `bloom is prohibited
by law under a penalty of from one to
five dollars. This is for the preserva-
tion of honey bees.
A Marine Will Lend the Band.
The officers at the S. A. headquar-
ters have fully considered the inter-
ests e.v is of the local corps and when
l the
Marine Band has rounded out its pres-
ent tour, which will be in three weeks
or a month, a member of that really
talented organization will be sent to
Clinton to take charge of the corps
and di ill and lead the brass hand. The
"comisides" were delighted when in -
thrilled that this piece of good luck
was in store for them, as they take
much more than a passing interest in
their band which shortens in fancy
the marches and gives a vim and go
to the meetings, especially to those
out of doors.
Has Matt Been Jollying Them ?

orders for Seale ct Hoover..
A list of the orders taken by Seale &

tioned to be the largest and most ex-
pensive monument in that particular

McMurchy to he placed over remains
of wife in Kintale cemetery; and Red
Granite ordered by John A. Ross to be

Buffalo cemetery, Bruce county.
New Postage Stamps.
The Postmaster -General has shown
himself to be a human being just like
other mortals and admits that a mis-
take was made in having the new
stamps of different denominations
made so much alike in appearance that
it almost requires a microscope to dis-
cover whether, it is a one -cent, three -
cent or five -cent stamp. He has recog-
nized the difficulty, and in the next
issue numerals will be placed on the
corners in place of the maple leaf.
This svill, to a certain extent, obviate
the difficulty, but a more pronounced
color for the one, two, and three -cent
stamps would be an additional conven-
ience. Stamp collectors should take
note of the above and lay in a stock
of the present issue for future specula-
tion. . - - •
The flax hill Closes Down.
The flax mill closedown perhaps to -day
and as the season's output still remains
unsold the outlook for the industry is
not at all promising. There will he no
planting in this district this year, so
the men who in the planting, pulling
and breaking found almost the round
year's employment will have for
the meantime to turn to some
other occupation. With some of
thein who have been thus en-
gaged for many years the change will
not he at, all lightsome. Mr. T. Mc-
Connell. the foreman, has been twenty-
four years with Mr. Forrester and un-
derstands flax from the seed to the fin-
ished article. in a talk with THE News-
RitroRn Tuesday he said the industry
experienced a somewhat similar de-
pression eighteen years ago, though
prices were not so low rte now. The
influences which have brought about
the present state of affairs aro, says he,
an increased production in Russia,
where labor is at a low ebb, combined
with the substitution of cotton where
flax wag wont to be used.

modious cru i yall drawn by a spanking
span of horses, came to Clinton Tues•
day and after playing upon the Gore
at eventide gave an entertainment,
as S. A. entertainments go, down at
the barracks where many citizens had
gathered to hear them. The Marines,
lads and lassies all, play with
a rythin and snan that would bet the
efforts of tetany a secular band all to
naught.
An Enjoyable 8venlag in Ont. St. Church.
A most enjoyable evening was spent
in the Ontario St. Methodist Church
on Monday Last. The occasion was the
quarterly social meeting of the Ep-
worth League. A very interesting and
instructive programme was rendered
by Mrs. B. J. Gibhings, Mrs. Seaward,
Mr. J. A. Gregory, of Goderich, and
Miss Andrews, of Holmesville. Re-
freshments were served by the social
committee, and an hour of pleasant
social intercourse was enjoyed by all
