Once more, interest in revived in proposed 0. P. R. improvements in W'n ha r g stn, Of course, the Advance is not informed as to the actual in- tentians of this great corporation, that has any amount of money at its disposal, and is stretching out its ,branch lines in every direction to col- lect the local trade and direct it to its transcontinental Iine. We do not claim prophetic foresight, but editors are able at times to put this and that together, and then arrive at probable results. That being the case, the Ad- vance remarks that these C.P.R. en- gineers are not moving aroumi so quietly taking measurements, etc., just for the fon of the thing, nor for their health. We believe the 0. I'. R. means business, and before long, there will be "sometbin doi-i." As we said, we do not iNow, but do not be sur- prised if yon see some or all of the following take definite form :-- 1-The C. P. It. station removed to the south of the town, not far from Currie's machine shop. 2 -The road extended from its ter- minus at the Salt block, along the river bank to the south end of Jose- hine street. 3 -Wouldn't a fine station, freight sheds, etc., etc., down there, help the south end of the town, and in- crease the value of property. 4 -Suppose these things should hap- pen, what then ? Why the Dore Carriage factory and Union factory could have switches right into their yards. 5 -But a big "fill in" would be requir- ed to carry the line across the prairie ; thence it would run to Blyth to connect with the Guelph line. Don't you see the advantage of the circuit ? 0 -Once this was done, filling in along the edge of the prairie would fol- low, and cottages for working men would be built, and Wingham would extend her hounds, 7 -Now, we are not predicting, but Inerely outlining probabilities, and if these things come to pass, re- member that we told you "not to be surprised." Wingham has not yet reached her full growth or develop- ment. Have faith in our town. PROF. O'BRIEN HERE. Phrenologist and Scientific Palmist. After five weeks of steady wqrk in Brussels, Prof, O'Brien has reached Wingham. Were is what the. Strat- ford Beacon says :- "Prof. O'Brien, the well known Canadian Phrenologist and Scien- tific Palmist, is in Stratford again on his third visit. - He is accom- panied by Madame O'Brien. Pro- fessor O'Brien stands in the front rank of phrenologists and palm- ists, and is well received where ever he goes. During his previous visit here he gained the confidence of the public and will bo gladly welcomed here on this visit." See the Professor's ad. on page 5. Social Evening. The A. YY P. A. of St. Paul's Church had a pleasant social evening in the school -room of the church on Monday evening. A short programme and re- freshments helped to pass the even- Iring pleasantly. The Rector showed some lime light views of Yukon scen- ery, which were commented on as they passed by Mr. Workman, Mathe- matical Master in the High School. Jas. McGavin Dead. Many in Wingham will remember Jas. McGavin, formerly an employee in S. Bennett's planing mill Later, he removed to Chesley, where he con- ducted a bakery and restaurant. For some time past, he had been afflicted with stomach trouble, and died on the 2nd inst. The ftineral taking place on was a member of the C. Friday, He I' y O. F., and leaves a widow to mourn bis demise. He was in his 45th year. Carpet paper, Stair pads, Boom tnoul ung and neat picture framing at S. Gracey's. Painful Accident. Miss Lillian Baer met with a painful accident on Thursday last. She was standing on a fence adjusting a carpet on the line, when she felt herself fall- ing backward. To avoid falIiug, she jumped forward, and in doing so, the jar snapped the tendons of the shoulder. She suffers intense pain, and her physician is of the opinion that she must lie perfectly still on her back, for perhaps a month. She is at present lying on at lounge, and cannot be even moved into a bed. Lillian's young friends will sympathize with her in the pain she suffers. Death Of A Mother. Mrs. P. Thomas of .Illnevate mourns the death of her mother, ii1Irs, E. Duncan, relict of the late Robt. 1)tm can of Bhtevele. The deceased lady had for some time past resided with her daughter, rIra. Marsh, of Wood- stock, and it was there she died on Stuiclay last, aged 18. Mrs. Duncan lyes one of the old residents of 131ue- vale, and was held in high esteem. She was a member of 131uevalo Pres- bytctfun Ohureh. The funeral took Oleo on 'Tuesday to X3luevate ceme- tery, Rev. W, J. West •conducting the Amoral sorvlae, The Wingham Advance. Iluroa Old Boys. The Huron OId Boys' Association of Toronto has tirade arrangements with the G. T. R, for their annual excur- sion to their native county, Two spe- cial trains will Ieave Toronto on Sat- urday, July Oth, at 7.80 a, in. The "official" train will run to Winglutrn ; the other to Goderich, The Advance wishes the "Old Boys" fine weather, a pleasant outing, and happy hours with their friends of earlier days. Rev, Wm. Lowe Appreciated, The many Wends of Rev, Wnt, Lowe will be pleased to hear that he has closed a second successful year in his parish in London, Ont. At the Easter Vestry meeting, his salary was again raised, and ire now receives in all, $1,242, The Bishop of Huron has offered him Lucnn parish at a still higher salary, but a deputation waited on the Bishop asking that there be no change. The Advance congratulates Mr. Lowe upon the success Ire has enjoyed. inHuron County First, The first reaping machine used in Ontario was (says the Hamilton Spec- tator) operated in the Township of Tuckersmith, Huron County, in the year 1858. The heavy concern was drawn by four horses, driven by a man seated on the machine, and another man stood upon the grain platform with a rake, with which he pushed the ' grain off when it had accumulated sufficiently to make a sheaf. Other men followed and bound the sheaves. Now the machine does alt that with but one man -the driver. Rattan rockers, Parlor suites, Oak and mahogany chairs. A beautiful line of all such goods at S. Gracey's furniture store. No Need Por Alarm. According to a leading astronomer, there are three ways by which this earth may be destroyed. First, by dissipation of the atmosphere and drying up of all the water, bringing the temperature down to 273 degrees below zero ; this, however, will not culminate for ten million years. The second probable fate of this globe is that water will overflow everything, and the whole world be one vast ocean; this may occur within a million years. The third danger is said to be the chilling of the sun, or in other words, we may be frozen up, but for- tunately this awful fate is deferred by the scientists for twenty million years. How kind they are to give us notice in good time. Speaker St. John. Hon. J. W. St. John, Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, died on Sunday last, in Toronto Hospital, where he had undergone an operation quite re- cently. He WAS a man of strong per- sonality and had hosts of friends, ir- respective of party affiliations. On Tuesday evening, a service was held in • Parkdale Methodist Church under the auspices of the Sunday School, of which he was the Superintendent. Representatives of the Church Boards, and the pupils of the Sabbath School, numbering 1,000, had the opportunity of looking once more upon the face, that so often had beamed with plea- sure upon them in the School -room. The remains laid in State in the Par- liament buildings, and the funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon. Mr, St. John was twice married, and leaves a widow, four daughters and one son• He was in his fifty-third year. Mr. St, John's death is the third in the present Legislature, the other members deceased being H. Oarscallen of East Hamilton, and G. N, Kidd, of Carleton. Further refer- ence to this sad event will be found on page 7. Boardf Trade. ale. A meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Thursday evening, and a number of important matters were discussed. Among them were the Carnegie Library building, a Market day, and industrial projects. Among the latter was mentioned a Knitting factory, which a ratan desires to estab- lish here, provided a company can be formed to furnish the capital. No definite information on this, however, is as yet available. The annual meet- ing of the Board is drawing near, and the members should talce a livelier in- terest in the meetings. The Board may be made an important factor in the development and growth of our town, or it may be allowed to dwindle and clie, or else simply exist as a coin, lifeless thing, without any influence or power. In the latter case, it might as well be dead, as useless. It re- mains with the members to decide. The work should not be left to a few, who may be loyal enough to the town's interests to sacrifice time and effort for the generial good.

Miss Houghton's junior pupils gave a Recital in the school room of St. Paul's church, on Friday evening, and acquitted themselves very creditably. Rev. T. S. Boyle threw some pictures upon the canvass for their entertain- ment. A collection was taken up and the proceeds remitted to the Christian Herald as a contribution towards the Chinese Famine fend. Formerly Of Wingham. The following from the Ripley Ex- press reports the marriage of Arthur Knight, for some time in the office of the Union factory, Wingham "Wedding bells pealed forth merrily in Ripley on Tuesday, April 2nd, when Dr. Knight of Cadillac, Mich., was united in marriage to Miss Mabelle, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McBrien. The interesting event took place at tate home of the bride's parents, in the presence of a few friends, the interesting words that made the happy couple one being pronounced by Rev. Thos. W. Blatch- ford, B. A. Mr. and Mrs. Knight were greeted at the G. T. R. depot by a large gathering of citizens, who ex- tended congratulations up to the time of the departure of the 1.45 train for Cadillac, Mich., where they will make their home." Perry Bradwin Deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bradwin of our town have been east into the gloom and sorrow of bereavement by the death of their son, Perry, which oc- curred in London on Thursday of last week. Deceased was taken ill on Monday, 1st inst., with pleuro -pneu- monia, and on Wednesday was re- moved to London Hospital. On Thurs- day morning his case was seen to be critical, and his parents hastened to his bedside, but, sad to say, he had ex- pired before they reached London. The disease did its work quickly, and Thursday afternoon he passed away. Mr. Bradwin was a bright young busi- ness man,' and had resided in Loudon for ten. years past, and was a trust- worthy employee of the firm of the T. E. Mara Co. He was a prominent member of the Liberal Club and had made many friends in the city. He was born in Lynden, but spent his schoolboy days in Winghatn. Besides his grief-stricken parents, he Ieaves five brothers -Frank, of Hamilton ; Edward, of New Liskeard ; Lorne, of Saskatoon ; Fred., of Kamloops ; and A. E., of Galt (formerly of Blyth). The remains were taken to Paris on Saturday for interment. The bereav- ed parents have sincere sympathy in their sorrow. Deceased was aged 32. This is the time to take Rival Herb Tablets.

So far we have endeavored to treat his insinuations goodrxaturedly, notwithstanding that he persists in misrepresenting us to his readers. We did not ask for the Howick printing, directly or indirect- ly ; and even when asked to do so, de- clined to tender for it. When the Council refused to accept any of the tenders received, the field was clear, and when it was offered to us in our own office we had a right to accept it. Has it come to this, that the editor of this ptransact c an not t ansact bitsittess in his own office without the interference of the Great High Mogul of the Ford- wich Record? To be plain, what we do when a customer comes to us is none of his business. Mr. Watters harps every week on "the price," but that this is not the real cause of the attacks upon the editor of this paper is very evident, from the fact that there was a lower offer than the price nose paid for the work, and yet Mr. Watters has not once referred to this lowest price, nor the paper that made that low tender. Had the "price" been the real cause of this row, then, to bo fair, the lowest offer should have received the greater share of the Re- cord's denunciation ; but no, the Ad - stance is singled out for it all. Go ahead, my dear fellow; pile it on. Only don't mutilate the Howick Coun- cil minutes by cutting out a motion (as you did recently) because it re- ferred to the Advance, Not that we care, only it looks so small and childish and makes people laugh et yon. We hear that you are "after the editor of the Advance hard," but we aro not worrying. Don't get nrad; keep cool, my dear fellow. When we become incompetent to do our oaks work, or do not know 'what to charge for our Werk, we may possibly avail ourselves of your superior knowledge and ex - pet ience.

As an instance of the necessity for more dwellings, at an ordinary rental, we may mention a case in town, where a frame house was about to become vacant. With- in a day and before it was vacant, there were sixteen applicants; of course only one could got it, and there were fifteen disappointed families....

Miss Caroline, daughter of Me. and Mrs. Wellwood, of Wing - ham, was one of the party, and her Wingham friends will be pleased to hear of her safe arrival. Pioneers Passing, It is a matter of weekly comment almost, that the pioneers of this sec- tion of country are passing rapidly away. One now, another a little later, and so they go, one by one, but soon they will all have passed away. A brave, sturdy race they were, fearing not to enter the untouched forest, and many miles from any base of supplies, hew out for themselves a home. Should not each township collect their names, and erect some monument (not necessarily expensive) to their memory ? They were the advance guard ; the men that laid the founda- tions. Why should they be forgotten? In this connection we notice that the ratepayers of the Vandeleur school section in Grey county will erect a monument on the school ground dur- ing the coming summer in memory of the pioneers, who were instrumental in having the section formed. It will he an eight foot granite column with urn top, placed on a cement base. Fifty names will be inscribed on the monument. Why should not every school section follow this example ? If not every section, every township should at least preserve the names and memories of its pioneers.
