The sparkle of a precious stone, the einne :of a 6eaoelet, the rich yellow of a gold ohain against a creamy neck, all these seem to bring the beauty of the wearer into strong relief. All of them are here in this store. •IDar Repairing Dep't Is under our own personal supervision and all repairs entrusted to our care, from the smallest uo the largest job, will be returned with our guarantee. P. B. Crews Jeweler &Expert Watch Repairer Amberley SERIOUS,ACCIDENT.—On Friday last while Miss Maggie and Miss Martha Johnston were driving to the store, their horse took fright and upset them into the ditch.

THE STAND PIPE.—This week Hum- ber Bros, put the finishing touches on the large stand pipe up near the sta- tion. It is over 100 feet high and has an average diameter of 15 feet. It is said to be one of the largest in West- ern Ontario. It will catch the eye of the visitor as soon as he arrives in Goderich as it is ranch higher than the surrounding buildings. HARBOR.—The schooners Kolfage, Todman, Brich, and Youill were in port, all lumber laden, and the sch. Craftsman was in with coal.

The party were met on ar- rival by the Mayor and Council, and taken for a drive around the town. They left at 10 a. m. bound for Georg- ian Bay and the Soo, much pleased with the kind reception accorded them here. - Judge Zimmerman, ex -Senator of Ohio, was with the party, and while walking on the dock at Kincardine, was overcome by the heat and had a slight stroke of appoplexy, but was able to proceed with the party. MENESETUNG PARK.—The proprie- tors of Menesetang Park are rushing things. They now have their new cottages and a dining room capable of seating some 200 people. And the cot- tages are not gotten up after the style of someothers we have seen, as they are all neatly painted and fitted up very fine outside. Many people in town wonder why Clinton citizens do not run an excursion up here about every day. The grounds can be se- cured for very 'little; boats could be rented from Capt. Baxter, or Capt. Wiggins is always ready to lease his sail boat to picnic parties. You should talk it up in Clinton and then take a run down with a couple of hundred of your friends. We want to see this park one of the favorite picnic grounds in the county. DEATH OF MR MALCOMSON.—The hopes which were entertained for the recovery of Mr S. M"alcomson, Master in Chancery, were suddenly crushed by a change for the worse last week, and he died early Thursday morning. Deceased was born near Burlington In 1840, and studied law with F. MacKel- can, Q. C., still one of Hamilton's best known lawyers. „Being called to the Bar, he came' to Clinton, where he practiced for several years, and after removed to Goderich some seventeen years ago, where he practised law till his appointment as Master. For a year or so his health has been poor and a long visit to the South did not bring the benefit hoped for. Mr Malcomson was an intelligent, well-informed man of bright wit and genial manner, and those whose found his friendship will long remember him with kindly thoughts and sincere affection. A wi- dow and family survive him. Nile. The following, from aBrussels paper, refers to a son of Mr. John Tiffin, of this place:—Wedding bells chimed joy- ously on Wednesday, June 23rd at the residence of G. W. Prowd, Desboro', Grey Co., when Rev. A. C. Tiffin, of Walton, and Miss Fannie, only daugh- ter of Mr. andMrs. Prowd, linked hand and heart in a life contract. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Henry Irvine, of St. Thomas, assisted by Rev. S. Nicholson, of Dobbinton, in the pres- ence of a large assembly of relatives and friends of the contragting parties. Miss Sparrow, of Owen Sound, was the bridesmaid and Rev. H. E. Berry, of Brooke, groomsman. The commod- ious and well provided dining hall was throned several times, there being in the neighborhood of 150 guests to share the festivities of the occasion. All unit- ed in extending hearty congratulations and good wishes and after speeding a joyous evening the happy company separated for their respective homes. Among the guests were old faintly friends of the ministry, Revds. J. W. Sanderson and H. J. Harnwell. The wedding presents were exceptionally valuable and useful as well as dainty. The choir of Sharon Methodist church, of which Mrs. Tiffin had:been a mem- ber ler some time and organist for the past 4 years, did not neglect the oppor- tunity of expressing their gratitude in a very tangible manner. Tuckersm ith NOTES.—Mr Thomas Fotheritigham is trying Matriculation examination; we wish him success. Mrs W. Plewee' father, Mr A. Walters, who was ser- iously ill of paralysis in Exeter, is partially recovered. W. Carter, son of Henry Carter, .has bought a well im- proved farm of 160 acres, with good buildings, 20 miles from Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. THE NEW ERA GIVES THE HOME NEWS SOCIALS.—The first of the season was held at Mrs Millen's under the auspices of the Croquet Club and in honor of Mr Beckett., who taught school at Bel- fast, and while in our midst proved himself a willing helper. The evening was pleasantly spent in games, and at an early hour all dispersed to their homes. Tuesday evening, July 6th, a number from this section gathered at the school house at St. Helens, when the former teacher, Mr J. B. Weather - head, who had filled the position of teacher for ten years but having to re- sign owing to ill health, was presented with a handsome rocker, also a purse of money. Miss Annie Clark read the address and Messrs. Hugh McDon- ald and H. McQuillin presented the articles, Mr Weatherhead was taken by surprise, but replied_ very nicely, thanking all for the kindness and good will shown him, speaking particularly to the children, with whom he had been so long associated. After the program was8over, the inner man was satisfied by the ladies presenting a dainty luncheon, which all enjoyed. Then there was music and singing un- til dark, when the young people re- paired to Mr Weatherhead's home, where different games were played and a 11 enjoyed themselves thoroughly ending the pleasant evening by sing- ing God be with you till we meet again, and dispersing to their respective homes. A very pleasant evening was spent at the residence of Mr E. 1)urnin on Friday evening, when the Croquet Club had another of their social gath- erings. Games were played on the lawn until after 10 o'clock. All felt highly pleased with the evening's entertain- ment and would not object to being entertained at Mr Durnin's handsome residence again, Holmesville CHURCH NOTES.—Mr H. Foster, of Clinton, wills_reach here morning and evening Sunay, and will probably take Ebenezer in the afternoon. Rev. G. W. Andrews, wife and family, Miss V. Andrews and T. R.

STILL HALE AND HEARTY. — The many friends of Mrs John Holmes. of this village, will he pleased to know that on the 6th inst., she passed her 91st birthday; that she is still hale and hearty, in the active possession of all her faculties. and looks as if she bad a lease of several years' life before her. THRESHING.—Judging from the ap- pearance of the wheat, harvest will soon be on .hand, followed close by threshing. W. Cole is making every preparation for a big season's work, having purchased a new Stratford cleaner. Will has the name of being a first class thresher, and he will doubt- less do better work than ever this year. NoTEs.—Mr Ed. Levis has been on the sick list for some time, but is re- covering. W. Mulholland and son, John, took in the wild west exhibition in Stratford on Friday, and report many wonderful sights. The 12th was very quiet here, not even a flag was seen,nor a drum was heard; a few of our Orangemen went to Bavfield and others to Auburn. Miss H. Lavis, of Clinton, is visiting here.• • SOCIAL.—The lawn social at R. Ache - son's, last Friday evening, was a grand success. The evening was delightful, the refreshments good and the Clinton Brass Band gavea splendid program; they were very generous with their music, and in addition R. Downs, the renowned comic singer, gave several selections, which were heartily en- cored. The proceeds of the evening amounted to between $35 and $40, CHEESE NOTES.—Salesman Connolly sold on the market the last half of June cheese to Thos. Ballantyne & Sons, Stratford, for 8 3-16 cents per lb. This is the third lot of cheese from this factory sold to Messrs Ballantyne & Sons this season. Your correspondent in conversation with the person who shipped the last lot, was informed by him that the two previous shipments from here were decidedly some of the best he handled this season, and ex- pressed himself that he hoped the di- rectorate appreciated the services of a good man and retain him. THE NEW ERA GIVES THE HOME NEWS West Wawanosh SUDDEN DEATH,—The people of this immediate section were painfully sur- prised on Thursday to learn of the Bud- den death of Rev. Father Quigley, the well known pastor of St. Augustine. Deceased has not been in good health for over a year past, alth ough in appear- ance he wag of large physique, and looked like a robust man. He died in bed. He was a man universally es- teemed; his acquaintances by no means being limited to the members of his own church. His relatives reside in Biddulph.

Mr Chas, Fisher i laid up with a sore hand. EVANGELICAL. — How many littl boys and girls Iris and old folks s a swell— not only those connected with the Evangelical church, but others also— have looked forward for some time to Children's Day. This day has only been celebrated for sorne few years, and each year is coming into more favor. This year it was held on Sun day, July 11th, and altogether eclipsed that of previous years. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens. The program for the day was remarkably well arranged and suitable for the occasion. The manner in which the children render- ed their part, both in the recitations and responsive readings reflected great credit on themselves and on their train- ing. Evidently they recognized the truth of the motto "What is worth doing at all is worth doing well." The choir furnished some excellent music, some of it being in German, which the audience thoroughly appreciated and understood. The minister, Rev. Mr Granzebaugh, was chairman. This is the first t ircuit of which he has had complete charge; hg is a young man of good ability, and many, some of them for the first time, listened to his res.. marks with pleasure. Hullett No NoTEs,-1Ylrs Harrison Lyon and e children returned home this week, after f spending a couple of weeks visiting n her sister-in-law, Mrs John Spindler of • Ashfield. Mr and Mrs I.

Rev. E. Olivant and son started on Tuesday morning to wheel to Toronto to attend the Inter- national Convention held there. The. boys returned from the volunteer camp on Fr iday; old Sol seems to have been rather Lard on them and spoiled their complexions; while many of the 33rd Battalion were prostrated by the heat, none from this district were so affected, showing that their powers of endurance are better developed than those from some other places. Mr T. C. Pickard, of Holmesville, oc- cupied the pulpit at Bethel on Sunday morning. Misses M. Edwards and Blake, of Goderich, spent Sunday at the latter's parents. Mr Reuben Grigg, of Goderich township, was renewing acquaintances in our midst. Miss Carrie Neibergall is the guest of Mrs Charlie Fisher. Goderich Township A TALL PLANT --MVS Robt.

Whitely had his barn raising on Thursday of last week and everything passed off very nicely. Sides were chosen which made them more lively, they were cap• tained by Mr Wm. Haacke and our es- teemed reeve Mr Connolly. The form- er won. BETTER.—Recently Mr John Wig- ginton, Bayfield road, happened to break a rib, which laid him off work for some time, but be's all right again now and doing his harvest work as us- ual; there's too much grit in John to let a little thing like a broken rib lay him up long. STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.—A festival under the auspices of Zion 3ongregation was held on the lawn of Mr F. W. Hick en Tuesday evening which was a suc- cess in every respect. About noon a passing shower laid the dust and check- ed the farmers with their hay, and as the evening turned out to be very beautiful, crowds were seen wending their way towards thegrounds before sunset. On az riving at the lawn a gor- geous display of strawberries and, r 'am, cakes, &c, loaded the long table which was set three times, successively. After the wants of the inner man had been duly satisfied, thepastor, Rev. Mr Godwin acting as chairman and very ably filled the position in that capacity in his usual genial manner. The pro- gram, which was a lengthy one, was very interesting and profitable. At the opening was an anthem by the choir, then followed solos by Misses Hennin s, Prouse Hellier, her speeches gg p es by Rev Mr LeGear, formerly of Holmesville now of the United States. and Rev Mr Edge, instrumentals by Mise Mc0lusky, Mrs Whitely and Mr Campbell and recitat- ions by Messrs Hellier and Fisher and Mr Hennings.

VISITORS. —Miss Lilly Murray, with her brother and sister, are spending their holidays with their grandparents Mr and Mrs John McCowan. NOTES.—The bot and dry weather of last week was favorable to making hay which is in general dry. The extreme heat however made the labor oppres- sive for man and beast. Mr W. Mur- dock bas one of the best fields of hay ever seen in this vicinity. Mr W.Gra- ham is again buying cattle for export to the old county in August. Mr J. McQueen has placed lightning rods on rs house and barns. Jennie Mustard, ho has been a pupil of Clinton Col- legiate, is writing for a first class cor- ticate.

Mr John Fingland had some grain stored in Jackson's. barn while his own was undergoing some repairs. He drove over to the barn, to reach which he had to pass over a small bridge, standing about ten feet above the water,and was accompanied by two of his children. On the way back, as he was driving over the bridge, the whole thing collapsed, horses, waggon, bridge and occupants settling in the water. The children were at once res- cued, and the horses unhitched, but before this was accomplished the horses had crowded around, breaking the tongue of the waggon. For tunate- ly no other injury was experienced, and their escape was almost miracu- lous. (Copied from a Colville paper.) WELDING.—A pleasant event graced the parlors of the Columbia Hotel at Kettle Falls on the afternoon of Jur e 17th, when the Rev T. C. Armstrong, of the First Presbyterian Church of t hat city, officiated at the double wed- ding of two couples of Colville's most popular young people.

SPORTS.—The base ball match be- tween Goderich and Blyth, was won easil=y by Goderich, by a score of 15 to The he foot ball match between Blyth and Auhurn, was a little more excit- ing, as the two teams were more e' en- ly matched. The first half neither side scored, but in the last half, when time was very near up, one of tl.e Auburn boys tried to make a corner kick, but kicked it through their own goal, chis gave Blyth the game by a score of 1 to 0. A large number made good use of the boats; one party must have thought it was too war in so they tumbled into the wafter, and got a good ducking. • PERSONALS.—Mra Wm. Downs, sr., and Mrs Downs, jr„ of Clinton, were the guests of J. Lawson, also Miss Mitchell, of Clinton. Miss Elder, of Seaforth, was the guest of Dr. Ross.

ORANGE CELEBRATION—The glor- ious 12th was celebrated in this village on Monday last; from early morn till late in the evening the village was full of visitors.

Miss Edith Cox returned from Goderich last week. Miss Rette Elliott, of Goderich, was visiting in this neighborhood last week. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.—Quite a sensation was caused in the village on Saturday evening, when Mr and Mrs McGuire drove to the blacksmith shop to have a large 3 inch Iran hoop, off of a waggon hub,taken from the neck of a two-year-old boy. The little fellow had been playing with the iron, and by sorne means had managed to pull it down over bis head and the parents were unable to remove it, and after taxing their skill to the utmost, they drove to the shop, hoping that the blacksmith might think of some way of removing the band, but for a time it appeared that the skill and in- genuity of the smith was going to be baffled, and the despairing mother was becoming desperate, when at last the smith thought of the vice. Then with out any loss of time he got the boy stretched on his back, with his head between the jaws of the vice, and in this way pressed the band and enabled the head to Blip out with ease Our blacksmith says t e filet job dfli this kind he ev likely the fir r done, and it is quite anywhere. •t job of the kind done Varna NOTES.—Rev Mr Burton delivered a very able address to the Orangewe:) here last Sunday night; the church was crowded to the doors, and the change oftemperature much apprecia- ted.

Seaforth A LITTLE ROUGH,—The lacrosse match between Seaforth and Berlin, which took place last Thursday in the latter place, wound up with a free to all fight between the contesting teams. 1 t appear s that the referee was a man named Har tley, of Toronto, who refer- eed in the Berlin -Tecumseh game on Saturday last. Since that time he has been staying in Berlin, and has receiv- ed a great deal of petting from the citizens of the German buig. In con- sequence he was somewhat disposed to favor the Berlin team, and rendered some decisions whichwere a little fishy disallowing two goals which the Sea - forth boys and the majority of the spec- tators claim wet e all right. After 5 minutes' play, and when the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of Berlin the boys became so exasperated that they with one ac- cord dropped their sticks and sailed in. For about 15 minutes (be scrap contin- ued and some of the players received pretty rough treatment, though no one was hurt very badly. At the end of that time the spectators separated them and Berlin was declared the winner. The Seaforth team plays at Stratford next week. Wingham. g am. FATALACCIDENThlsing the C. P. R. bridge about 11 o'clock Friday night Geo. Moffat, a farmer who lived near here, was struck and killed instantly by the late express. He was thrown over the bridge into the river. His left arm was broken in two places and his back bone and all the r ibs on his left side were also broken. Mr. Moffat was 60 years of age and leaves a widow and two eons. He was a member of i he Methodist church and was a man held in the highest esteem. Brussels THE TWELFTIL—The glorione twel- fth was celebrated here in true British st.yle#iy the largest and most orderly crowd ever seen in Brussels, there being 37 lodges represented, including Lady True Blues, Orangemen and O.Y. Brit- ons. A busy time was spent in the forenoon, welcoming visitors. After dinner the procession formed at Vic- toria Park and started out for parade, but a heavy shower of rain set in that rather demoralized it. The program of speech -making was carried outfter the rain had ceased. A short address of welcome was made by Reeve W. H. Kerr, after which spirited and approp- iate speeches were given by Rev.: Mr Lowee, of Wingham; Rev. Jno. Ross B. A., Brussels; Rev. W. W. Leech, of Whitechurch and Thos, Magwood M. P. P. of North Perth. Votes of thanks to the speakers and visitors were pass, ed and cheers for the Queen and Ki ng William brought the days pt'oceedings to a close. The train accomodation was fairly good, and hr o asst to and from Brussels thousands of people. Summerhill THE TWELFTH—Our people spent the day at Auburn. The band accompan- ied them as usual. After returning there was a sumptuous lunch served in the hall, Bro. G. M. Kilty was one of the speakers of the day. The boys speak highly of the treatment they re- ceived at the northern village. NOTES.—Mr. J. Johnston has taken unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Addison, of Hullett; we wish them all that the occasion suggests. Rev. W. Stout preached a special ser- mon to the Orangemen last Sunday. Mr. T. Farquhar and wife, of Hill's Green, Sunday spent p here. Mr. Frank Scott, of Birr, is visiting in this vicini-- ty at present. MEAN.—One night (or day) recently some sneak entered the stable of Mr. D. Barr and cut several parts of his harness. This is an exceedingly low piece of business and if the offendor is found out a term at the Central would perhaps do him good. We think any person enjoying the privileges and en- lightenment of a christian land should feel above stooping to such work. Blyth NOTES.—Rev. W. Rigsby is taking a three week's vacation; his work will be carried on by Rev Westmar,n, formerly of Walton. Messrs. Crooks and Cox, and Misses Fries and Lathers, of Gode- rich, were visiting at the residence•of Mr Wm. Westoby on Sunday. The Orangemen of this place celebrated in Brussels. Mr Wm.
