WILLIS Caurtc 3.—Last Sunday the pulpit was occupied by B. Ketchen, of ll:nox College, who will do the work while the pastor is on vae.ition. The congregation was highly pleased with the discourses; Mr Ketches has a clear delivery and this with his sound ser- mons be will be one of the leading men in the Preabyterien pulpit. At the evening service the solo "Hear Thou, 0 Israel" by Miss Graham, of St•Thom- as (the guest of Mi s R P. Reekie) was excellently given and appreciated. At the Endeavor on Monday evening the topic "Gaining by l -ing" was token by Mies H. McKenzie and Miss Zada Mc- Rae favored with a solo; Miss Mary Matheson presided.

Dakota Investment; It is said that Mr Dryden cannot hold his office of Minister ofTAgricul- ture, and also an investment in a Da- kota ranch, ar.dmust give up one cr the other. The Tory papers naturally fall in, With the suggestion that : he should abandon the office, while the Stratfor d Beacom would prefer to'. see him abandonthe ranch. As Mr Dry- den is far too good a Minister to lose, those who think a choice - should be made will tollow the light oftheBeacon. —Toronto Globe. Some of the Liberal paperr are treat- ing this matter as if it were a joke, but we want to tell them it will he no joke; , if the facts are as alleged. The NEW ERA happens to be one of the papers that would like to see, not only Mr ry en remain in the Cabinet, but it would also like to see the whole Cabin- etremain rnoffree. The way to ac- complish thio is not by injudicious ac- tion ofanykind. The Ontario Govern• trent has a good record, and if the campaign could be fought on that is- sue alone, there would be no doubt whatever as to the result, because the government would be handsomely sus- tained. But when the the Opposition can come near carrying the country Lough went to Milton, on Mond'ty, to enquire as to the cause of dela , and hiiem forward: s' Miss add` Goodwin has acted as organist for a couple of Sundays, during the absence of Miss Combe at camp.

Dee plaintiff formerly resided in - this vicinity, and she claims the defend• ants have said things about her derog- atory to her character. BUSY BUILDERS.—Builders and con- tractors are very busy at present , and hardly know which way ` to turn, Messrs McKenzie, Cooper and Stevens, builders, all are hustling with' work, while stone•masous and brick -layers, are equ-illy driven. Hiram. Hill went to Srratford on Friday, to secure ad- ditional help ;- Thos. Walker finds the days too short for the work on hand, while Dan Prior has completed the brick work of nine contracts some of them' larger houses— in the last twelve weeks. Evidently times are good. - A CONCERT COURSE. -.Arrangements are being made to run an entertain- ment course in Clinton the comingsea- son, The concerts will be ,superior to those previously given, judging from - those' offered and the bestwill be select- ed a few being The Swedish Ladies' Quartette, the Boston Dramatic Co,. the Mozart Symphony club, the, Zodlers Concert Co:, and such like. The list of those to be ;riven will be decided .upon. and a subscribers' . list opened. The manager,' who takes hold of the course guarantees that the numbers given supercedeany previous courses. Par- ticulars:will be given later on. IT TAKES POWER.—The Electric Light Uo has purchased from E. Leon- ard & Sons, of London, one of their latest type c•t boiler. It will he made with the bottom all in one sheet—no seams. ' As it is 73 inches in diameter and 16 feet long, this will take a large. sheet of.steel. it will be 7-16'inches thick so as to stand high pressure of steam and will develop over 125 H. P. This boiler will replace one of those now installed, which is being taken:out, and will be large enough to do all the work at present while the 80 H P boiler now in use will be kept as a re- serve. The Company expect, if the present rate ofincreaee in lighting is kept up, that both; boilers will be re- guired_.._veiy_: coon,_ Leonard •& Sons havepromised to have the : new boiler there in from 2 to 3 weeks•so as to ready for the dark fall weather. THE MARKETS.—All small fruit has gone out of the market and apples and such like have started to come in. Ap- ples are considered to be scarce and quoted at from 40c to 50c'per bag; peaches are not plentiful enough and prices will probably be about IOc per basket until the supply in larger. To- matoes will go at about 10c per lb to begin with, but will soon drop. New potatoez{axre mote in supply and the priceiiae lowered to $1 and ,e1.25 per bushel. In dairy produce there ie no advance in price, although the supply of eggs is more plentiful; the rulings for butter are from 133 to 15c according to quality, and eggs from 9c to 10c; th shipment by Cantelon Bros. being_ Hoge are still at the top notch price of 7c. but tha buyers find them scarce for shipment. Buffalo ad vices say that the price for lambs is likely to rule low, A PROMISING YOUNG CLINTONIAN,— The following item will be of interest to those who are acquainted with Mr. John H.

The crimes were: Shooting with intent, house, breaking, aggravated aseault, theft and false pretences, One was sent to the pen- itentiary at' Kingston, the balance to the• Central prison and common jail, with the exception of one whose sent- ence was suspended. The sentences ranged from three years in the penit. entiary and two years, less a day, in the central prison, down to three months in the common jail all at hard labor. SUCOESSFUL SUNDY80HOOL.1'IONIC,— • The most successful picnic that it has ever been the privilege of St Paul's Sunday School to hold was the 'one on Wednesday to Bayfield. The weather wee all that could have been desired, and which brought out a large num- ber of scholars as well as parents and other members of the congregation with their friends. The rigs began to leave here at 8,30 and all the liveries in town were taxed to their utmost to carry them over and attend to the other work of the day, carriages wag- gonette and band waggons being uaed to convey them. Two tables of 73 each besides a large number of campers in the evening, sat down twice to satisfy the inner man with an abundance of the good things provided by the Sun- day School friends. A large number of raceb.were run off for which about 25 beautiful prizes were given, along with bananes and candy. The picnic- ers arrived home aboutten in the evening all feeliege that the most en- joyable day ever sp' tat Bayfield was fully realized. THE WALK TO THE CEMETERY,— During the summer particularly a great many people walk out to- the cemetery, the majority of them ladies, and they do it at considerable incon- venience and with very little comfort the gravel. walk,built some years ago, has almostdisappeared, while for three quarters of the distance, there is not a particle of shade or . shelter. Now, as the cemetery will be an ever-in- creasing place of interest -find- attrac tion,, somethinw should be done to secure a pet manent:walk thereto, and also to make the. walk•pleasant. 'It would not cost much to replant shade 'trees, and protect them by boxes ;. those put in before were not protected, and cattle- soon injured or, dietrayed them. In a few •years,.lif looked after, these would improve the walk very much.. The people of town are not so sordid hut that they are willing to expend money for this purpose, and. the council can undertake this kind of work, with the knowledge that the people apnrove'ef it. The Cemetery itself looks nice, clean and well kept, teflecting:credit on the: caretaker, Mr Reynolds, and as lot holders take an interest therein, the council can easily make the work more agreeable. To THE WEST.—As was expected the cheap excursion to: the north west from this part on Tuesday morning : was a big one and 'likely • one of the larg- est there ever has been from Ontario. A great demand was asked for farm laborers to assist in the harvest and for this reason the C. P. R. gave a cheap rate of $10 to Moosejaw,Eetevan, York - ton -or Cowan from this section : on August 5th and from other parte on . the two following days. On Monday from Toronto the C. P. R. carried 1600 for western points and on Tuesday 3000 left the Union Depot while the ' 0- " T. R. sent out specials with 2500 passen- gers,the train from Palmerston district having about 700. Railroad officials say that never before in the, history of the road were so many people handled in so - few days. Mr Jackson, ..the local 'agent of the U. P. R;, says it was the largest number of tickets he has ever sold for, one excurson and not onebe- ing sought after ;.he is a popular agent and one well known among ticket agents of the Dominion. Among his bookings for this excursion for western points were :—H, Ross and W. Macin- tosh, of Brucefield, W. J. ' Garret, and W. Thompson, of Hullett, Geo. Baird, T. J. Sanderson and A. A.
