of snob demonstrations. The day was
ides!. The railroad arrangementahad been
pertained to a nicety, and special triune
froth Kincardine, London St. Marys and
Stretford brought in hundreds who were
eager to oelebrate or have a dyer outing
on the banks of Lake Huron. The Owe,
wheal has a beauty of its own, .was taade
more attractive by the numerous decora-
tions; flags, beating and green houghs were
to be wen &radically arranged in all quar-
ters. Several large arches had been ereetell,
among them one at the heed of Est street
and another at West street • Interwoven
with the boughs were eneh words ea
"Derry," Aughrim," "Boyne" "Enniskil-
len," 4to.
The different speoials were met at the
etationby the Marine Band, a procession
was formed and the lodges marched to their
reopeotive qearters. The fife and drum
was in the air. . Some of the lodges made
an excellent showing, not only in drew,
numbers and. appearance ; but • in theit
marching. The last train • arrived about
11.45 and the proceedings were then .ad-
journed till after 'dinner. The hotels were
taxed to their fullest cipmeity in serving
meals. The ladies of North street (rhumb
served an excellent dinner and supper on
West street and the ladiee of Vioterie street

held on the Exhibition Ground. . The pro-
cession was formed and marched to the
aquae° by a circuitous line, beneath the
yerions arolies. At length ell entered the
park where the speaking was to., be dem.
Before depositing the drums and banners a
Seel effort was made on the part of the
drummer() and fifers. In close quarters

on the east side of the Cent House where,
sheltered from the sittethe erpeakere inclulg-

When'the last standard had entered the•

head, for the time being of thecorporation
of Goderich, it was his duty -might he not
°all it his privilege 7 -to weleome all those
who had eome here to enjoy %themselves op
that beautiful day. It wasalways a matter
of gratificationto the citizens. of Goderich
to haye any large body visit them, and this
for various reasons. The people of Goder-
fob. made the claim that they were reei.
dente of the healthiest and most beautiful
town in Cantles: The venters coed see it
for themselves, and when they wished to
enjoy another holiday he hored they would
come to an unanimous :decision to wend
their way.onee more to Goderioh. In con-
clusion he extended to them the most hearty

When the band creased playing Mr Muir
commenced his address by mentioning ttie,

had the pleasure of being in Goderioli.
Two vinare ago he was here with the Huron
Old Boys, and on that occasion he enjoyed
himself to his heart's content. He was so
impressed with the beauty of Goderieh and
of as ladies that when he returned to Tor.
wee he told the people there dna if he bed
his choice he would like to live in:the beint-

death et his eldest son William, but giv
ing no particulars. He at once tele
graphed to another son there, asking
that the body be forwarded ho,ne fo
burial, and simply got the reply the
"body cannot be forwarded nar can
funeral be delayed." Ae he had intend
ed going over in case the funeral could
be delayed, he found it would be no use
his doing so under the circomstancee
as he could not possibly reach there in
time. Whether deceased met hiedeath
by accident or natural causes Mr Car-
ter does not know, he having received
no particulars whatever, bet he inclin
to the belief that death was accidental,
because he had heard from him only a
'few days previo usly. when he was appar-
end," in the best of spirits. Deceased
had been in Dakota for eight years,
and had done exceptionally well there.
Up to a short time ago he bed been

uation on a river boat, and on :the let
of J nly was.promoted to the position of

It can be readily,seen at a glanc7e1that4a8
decrease of male voters has taken place
in the tiding during the past year, ow •
ing, no.cloubts to a number of the old
pioneers being carried away by death,
as will also be evidenced by the increase
of voters in part 2 -widows names be-
ing added. Anotber menace to .our
farming community 'my be noticed in
the large decrease of voters in part 3,
which shows that our young men are
not seekinglabor on th farm, but are
wandering into towns and cities to
seek employment. It will be hard to
conjecture what evolution will have to
take place in order to supply the necess
sary farm help that is becoming more
scarce each year.

A GOOD ADVA.NCEMENT.Mr
-
John ROSS, son of Mr Thos Ross, of
Es,st Wawanoshe was calling on his old
Clinton friend - �u Saturday. Thirteen
years ago he was one of the most clev-
er students of Clinton Collegiate, and
ten years ago went West, teaching in
various schools until he became one of
leadineeterieftenelireEdinonton Col-
legiate Institute. He .was ,recently
lected as Principal of the Dawson City
I Public Schools, to which duties are
j lined that of Inspector of all the •
schools in the Klondike district,. at te '
salary of 53600 a year. He enters on
hie duties, on the 156h of August, and
left this *eek for the West, as he will
'stop for a short time at Regina.. That
he will prove successful in his new pd-
sition goes without saying -all Huron
boys do -but Mr Ross' experience in
the West already, together with the
trainting he got et Clinton Collegiate,
specially qualifies him for the more re-
sponsible duties he is about to enteral*.
One of the schools Mr Ross taught dur-
ing his residence west, %vas in the
miclet of the Mormon settlement, and
hie teatimony is decidedly favorable to.
this claw of settlers; he says they do
not practine polygamy in Canada at
all, though probably some of them had ,
plural wives before leaving the States.
