I 'dews from BICC avec the Count2 From Our Own Correspondents and -""`- County Exchanges Corrie. Mrs. Hays is having a new kitchen built, Mr. Andrews has moved his family to town, Rev. E. A. Hall purchased a new wheel from R. McGrath. Jos. McCormick of Bervie called on Rev, E. A, Hall on Monday. Rev. R. J. Garbutt preached Educa- tional sermons in the Methodist church, Kincardine, on Sunday last. Mrs. James Oroskery and daughter, Mrs. Leininger, of Gladwin, Mich., are the guests of Mrs. Henry Perkins this week. Dr. Oranston of Fordwich, formerly of Clifford, was in town on Wednes- day evening, accompanied by Mr. Wade. Mr. Stinson shipped a large number of hogs on Monday, Mr. Granger ship- ped cattle ; on Tuesday Wat. McMi- chael shipped a car of ]horses, Billy Duffy was in town last week, making arrangements for a weekly visit with that celebrated imported French coach horse Mark D'Or, owned by Mr. King of Bluevale. This is the best horse Billy ever handled ; he says so himself. It is uot bit too soon to take hold of the Twelfth of July celebration, in order to have a grand success. There is going to be no "walk" nearer than Goderich, so that there is plenty of territory to draw from. Let the com- mittee get to work. Messrs. Cain & Lawrence of Luck - now were in town on Friday in con- nection with the I. 0. F. Mr. Cain is District Chief Ranger, and his visit was of an official character. The night was disagreeable, but a large number of the local court was in attendance. The alarm of fire rung out on Friday night for the first time for over a year. The lightning, which was very severe, struck the ventilator on Messrs. Hus- ton's barn and set the barn on fire. Willing hands with ]adders and pails of water soon had the fire out. It was a close call ; had the people been in bed, nothing could have saved it. We learn :on the same night a tree was struck that stood close to Mr. Hugh Hutchinson's house, breaking all the glass out of the windows. A telegraph pole opposite Knox' jewelry store was also struck. The lightning did much damage throughout the country. As a further proof of the progress of our town, we are indulging in grano- lithic sidewalks, Mr. Lloyd of Harris - ton, for many years street inspector of the town of Walkerton, has the con- tract. We have had the acquaintance of Mr. Lloyd for many years, and have every confidence the job will be second to none in the province. The first contract runs from the Anglo-Ameri- can hotel to Wright's bakery ; since then the contract extends from R. F. White's hotel across the McLaughlin block. No doubt the walk will be ex- tended further, past the Albion, up to the post -office. Granolithic walks have proved permanent, and are the cheapest and best walks known. It is true it will do away with continually fixing up of plank sidewalks and the tripping up of persons, who don't wish to walk on the roads, Langside. Death has again shown his gaunt visage in our community, and taken from our midst Mrs. Wm. Watson, sister of the late Mr. Alex, McGregor, who was accidentally killed about two months ago. Deceased had received a severe shock at the death of her brother from which she never fully re- covered. She contracted a severe cold which settled on her lungs, and which with the effects of the shock, caused much suffering for the last few weeks. Death came on Friday last and re- lieved the poor sufferer from all the trials, cares and pains of this life. We hope that life beyond the grave will fully recompense the widow for all the troubles and trials endured during her earthly pilgrimage. On Tuesday the youngest son of Mr. H, McIntosh of Holyrood was borne to its last earthly resting place. The little boy of nine yrs. had been suffer- ing from a severe illness, from which he was released on Sunday night, While we weep for young and old alike, we feel sad to see a beautiful and smart little boy cut down at the very beginning of what might he a grand and noble career. But let us hope for the hest and trust to the One "who doeth all things well." The well -drillers have at last suc- ceeded in finding a sufficient supply of water on Mr. J. A. Taylor's farm. At a depth of 85 feet water was flowing and as it was found impossible to pump it dry at the rate of 25 quarts a minute for 2 hours, they considered it good enough to last all summer. A young cow belonging to Mr. Geo. Carter was found on the roadside not far from his house with a broken leg on Monday. The injury was inflicted by a blow, which broke one of the animal's hind legs just above the centre joint. The services serve es of J. Colvin of Teeswater were secured, and the broken leg bandaged. The animal may recover. FARM FOR SALE.

IIENRY T, PERDUE, 21tf, WIngham Bluevale, Mr. Ed, Code and his sister, Miss Lottie, of Trowbridge, were the guests of their friend, Miss Stewart, last Sunday. Rev. Mr, Wardrobe of Teeswater preached in the Presbyterian church last Sabbath morning, Mr. Jno.

Ooultes of Bluevale will teach the Entrance cfltss in Wingharn Public School from the 1st of May un- til the summer holidays. We are sorry to chronicle the death of Mrs. J. J, Denman, after a brief ill- ness of four days. On Sunday, 20th inst., she took a severe chill, which turned to pneumonia and heart trou- ble, and although• medical aid and a trained nurse were procured, her heart weakened till she passed peacefully away while sleeping at 3.15 Friday at ternoon. Deceased was a daughter of Robert Yeo of Turnberry. She was born in the township of Wilmot, and at the age of three years moved with the family to Turnberry. She was married to her bereft husband Feb. 10, 1882. With her husband she moved to Brussels about two years afterwards. where they resided about seven years. Mr. Denman subsequently purchased a farrn near Bluevale, to which they removed and resided at the tinte of her death. Deceased led a quiet, un- assuming life, and was noted for her attachment and love to husband and children. She joined the Methodist; church several years ago, and was a regular attendant when health and weather permitted. The funeral Sun- day afternoon was attended by over six hundred people, and many failed to obtain entrance into the chnrch. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Swann. The text was chosen from Ecc. 9: 10 — "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do do it with thy might; for. thereis no work or device, nor know- ledge nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goest," and also John 9:4—"I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day, for the night com- eth when no man can work.:' Refer- ring to the deceased, he spoke•of his last visit Thursday evening, and her reference to the sacrament the follow- ing Sunday, which she would be un- able to attend, and he also alluded to the previous sacrament where the de- ceased had her children partake of the sacrament with her. The remains were enclosed in a canopy casket cov- ered with a number of baguets and wreaths from friends and relatives, and were interred in the Bluevale cemetery, The husband, family and relatives have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement, but it is a sweet consolatio?i to know that it is only a space of time, that separates them from their loved one. Morris. On Wednesday 23rd inst., the home of Mrs. Wolfe was the scene of a pretty and interesting event, when her daughter, Miss Minnie, became the bride of Mr. John Moore of Henfryn. Miss Mary Bell of the 3rd is visiting friends in Bluevale. Mrs. Robt. King of Toronto visited her brother, Robt. Yeo of the lst, this week, William, son of Alex, Clark, 5th line, has been quite ill with pneumonia. Ir- vine, son of Wm. Ferguson of the same line, has been under the doctor's care with a like ailment, We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Rob- ert Armstrong, an old and highly es- teemed resident of the 4th line, has been quite ill for some time at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. Hartry, at Seaforth. Her many old friends wish her a speedy convalescence. On Saturday evening E. F, Embury of Morris was considerably injured by the wagon in which ho was riding up- setting. He and 11. Bone were driving down the hill at the side of Brussels flour mill when one of the horses com- menced to kick. In the fracas the wa- gon was upset. Bone escaped injury, but Embury was struck in the face by the wagon box, which broke his cheek bone. He was otherwise shaken up. but was able to bo taken Home the same night. Salem. Owing to the Qnarterly service which will be held in Wroxeter next Suuday morning, there will not be any service in the church here in the after- noon, but the League will have their meeting in the evening at 7.30 every body is welcome to attend. D. E. Weir spent last Sunday at the home of his parents. We all enjoy seeing Dave come home, if it is only for a short time. Mr. R. Mitchell also Mr. and Mrs, Win.

Three excellent papers were read on Mission work by Misses Aggie Miller, Lizzie Bryans and Jennie Hogg. Ad- dresses were given by Rev. Mr. Onrry and Robt, McKay. Musical selections were rendered by the choir, along with a quartette, duet, solos and recitations. After taking up the collection, Mrs. Chambers, president of the Woman's Missionary Society, moved a vote of thanks to the Epworth League for their valuable assistance, It is with deep regret that this week we are called upon to chronicle the death of an old settler and highly es- teemed friend in the person of Mr. William Mitchell of Molesworth, at the age of 68 years 4 months. For some months past Mr. Mitchell suffer- ed from inflammatory rheumatism, along with other troubles, and of late small hopes were entertained for his recovery. Last Monday he was seized with a paralytic stroke and remained in that condition until Wednesday, when the summons came for him to lay down his cross. He closed his eyes forever to this vale of tears to open them in a far serener clime. The de- ceased was a consistent membe5 of the Presbyterian church, and being of a quiet, kind and obliging disposition, made many lasting friends. The be- reaved wife and family have the deep- est sympathy of a sorrowing commu- nity in,this their hour of sadness. The funeral took place on Friday to Moles- worth cemetery, Rev. Mr. Ballantyne conducting the service. West Wawanosh. A meeting in connection with the Temperance Alliance was held in the basement of the Presbyterian church, St. Helens, on Friday evening, for the purpose of organizing the temperance forces in the northern three polling sub -divisions. We, along with the host of friends of Rev. R. Fairbairn, are highly pleas- ed to know that he is gradually recov- ering. The doctors are sanguine and more hopeful of his recovery than they were two weeks ago. A PROFITABLE ANIMAL.—Matthew Young, a progressive farmer on con- cession 3, West Wawanosh, reports having a sow which during. last week had a litter of nineteen healthy pigs. We presume that, as pigs are a good price Mr. Young has a bonanza in the possession of such a fine animal. She has had largo litters on two or three former occasions. COUNCIL.—On Tuesday, April 15th, the municipal fathers of West Wawa - nosh held a special session to consider tenders for two teams to work the road grader for the ensuing season. Edward Johnston's tender of $5.50 per diem to supply man and two teams was accepted. There was only one other tender. Messrs. Beck and Gold- thorpe of Saltford were present, and submitted to the council a statement in regard to the radial electric railway and suggested that the council take stock to the amount of $25,000. The council, in order to consider the mat- ter carefully, decided to meet them in the township hall on Saturday, May 3rd. before taking any action. Blyth.

A union meeting of the congrega- tions of Brick and Calvin churches was held one evening last week to organize in the interests of Prohibition. Some whose political feelings were stronger than their prohibition sentiments threw cold water on the movement and talked the meeting dead. They effectually killed the effort and pre- vented anything that would tend to draw a few votes from the one side in favor of a prohibition candidate, It was deckled not to organize "until after the elections." Wouldn't that make you smile? When professedly christian and temperance people do not stand by their temperance sentiments, people are justified in regarding them as insincere. They don't mean what they say, when they talk about prohi- bition being supported—its Ross they mean—Ross who has so deceived the temperance people. Such is hu- manity. (Too late for last week.) Quite a number in this vicinity fin- ished seeding last week. Quite a number attended the Prohi- bition meeting held in Westfield church last Wednesday evening.
