Throwing to Bases — Kincardine team. Then followed one of the prettiest games of Baseball ever played in Wingham, between Kincardine and Wingham. It ended with a score of 4-2 in favor of Kincardine. An error on the part of the home players was responsible for two runs, or it would have been a tie, notwithstanding Kin- cardine's heavy -weight pitcher. V. Brislan of Lucknow was umpire, and gave excellent satisfaction. In the evening, a Football match be- tween Wingham and Ethel resulted in a score of 2-1 for the home team. ...The...

Dear Mr. Mayor :-Please find en- closed cheque for flftv dollars ($50.00)from the Huron Old Boys Association of Toronto, to be placed to the credit of the Wingham Hospital, as a very slight appreciation of the kindness shown our Association by your citi- zens during our recent visit to your beautiful town, and also to mark our approval of the establishment in Wingham of the very modern Hos- pital, which some of our Executive had the pleasure of visiting at the time of our excursion, The Association wishes me to con- vey to you, and through you to the citizens, the deep sense of thankful- ness that our members feel at being able to assist, even in this small way, the noble work undertaken by the Hospital and those who are assisting in its inaintenance, and the only re- gret we have is that our contribution is not larger, as we are well aware of the great benefits such institutions are to suffering humanity. We wish to congratulate the Board of Management on the neat and tidy appearance of the Hospital at the time of our visit, and to express the hope that it may go on increasing in useful- ness, and that at some future time we may be able to again show our appre- ciation of the noble work your citizens are undertaking in maintaining in your town such an up-to-date insti- tution. On behalf of the Huron Old Boys Association of Toronto, believe me, Mr. Mayor, Yours Sincerely, THOS, G. Soous, Treasurer. BIRTHS. Hale—In Sand Lake, Mich„ Aug. 20th, to Mr, and Mrs. Jas.

Becker, who lives east of Lakelet, sold his 120 acre farm to Mr. N. Cook, jr', for $5,600. Many patches of turnips, that a month ago looked healthy, are now worthless, the lice having appropriat- ed everything in the leaf. Everything is burning up here. Cattle are suffering, and many of the farmers are stable feeding them, while others are afraid to do so, lest the shortage of last spring be repeated. Messrs. Hislop and Kerr, who hope to be our future M.P. and M.P.P., took a jaunt through here recently. We hear that Dr. Chisholm and Jas. Bowman are not idle. Howick will give no uncertain sound when the day for voting comes. The Council met Aug. 21, in Gorrie ; members all present. Geo. Hislop waited on the Council with reference to having a drain cleaned out. On motion of Messrs. Downey and Underwood, the Reeve and Coun. Gregg will look into the matter. J. Dane waited on the Council with reference to having the open drain along the Gorrie side line cleaned out. Moved by Messrs. Gregg and Hain - stock that the Reeve correspond with the engineer, and be governed by. the word he receives from the engineer— carried. Moved by Messrs. Underwood & Downey that this council have their representatives prevail on the County Council to memoralize the Legislature to amend the assessment to he made in the month of June or October—car- ried. The By-law to levy the rate was passed. A communication was read from R. Vanstone, solicitor, for D. S. Taylor with reference to water being brought and left on his property. Moved by Messrs. Downey and Hainstock that as Mr. Taylor is the one who is suf- fering damages that this council thinks he should bring on the engi- neer, and they will abide by his award —carried. A number of accounts were passed and the Council adjourned to meet in Fordwich, Sept. 18th. Like A New Disease. New to the man who never had corns is the pain relieved by Putnam's Corn Extractor.

The dog had to be de- stroyed. A meeting was held in Dungannon on Saturday evening to discuss ways and means of securing C. P. R. con- nections for Dungannon. The reeves of Ashfield and West Wawanosh were present, and the connection may bo secured. The voting in Ashfield on Monday on the by-law to guarantee $125,000 of the bonds of the Ontario West Shore Electric Railway Company, re- sulted in a majorityof fifty-six votes for'the by-law. Ttal for, 198, and against, 142. It required at least 146 votes and a majority to carry the by- law. The Harold Jarvis concert in the Westfield church, under the auspices of the church choir, was a grand suc- cess. With the assistance of Miss L. Troy, of Detroit, as accompanist, and in some piano selections, and Miss Harrison as reader, the entire concert lasting two hours, was given by Mr. Jarvis, who was in fine condition, the expression of good humor and enthu- siasm, Although Mr. Jarvis an- nounced his seventeenth selection as the closing number, the audience com- pelled him to again respond, which he did by singing the "Glory Song," the audience rising to their feet and join- ing him in the chorus, giving a de- lightful closing to such a grand even- ing's entertainment. The proceeds of the evening amounted to $114. The choir is to be congratulated on their enterprise in bringing Mr. Jarvis to Westfield.

Dawson, 2nd con., Kinloss,. had the misfortune to have his barn together with the season's crop de- stroyed by fire on Sunday evening. It is thought the fire was caused by a heated boxing on the wind -mill, which was pumping water at the time. • The Whitechurch detachment of the Wingham Rifle Association consisting of R. Carrick, Dr. Jamieson, J. Spar - ling, A. Fox, Wm. Beecroft and D. Walkom held their first practice on Tuesday afternoon, and made a very creditable score. The boys expect to do some pretty nice work at the an- nual league match at Auburn next Tuesday. Last Wednesday evening, there was a serious case of kidnapping success- fully carried out on the public street, directly opposite the Post Office, only it was a young lady, and not a kid who was carried off. There were three or four rigs standing on the street and the lady in question carne out of one of the shops and went to one of the buggies to get into it, thinking it was her own. When she had her foot on the step, she discover- ed her mistake, but at that moment she was seized from behind and forced into the rig, while another took the seat beside her, and a third pushed up the top and the rig was driven rapidly away toward the north pole. As no- thing has been heard from them since, in the way of ransom or otherwise, we presume they have reached the pole in safety.

His songs were more heartily received than ever and many a hearty laugh was enjoyed. Mr. Fax's songs, "The Hard Working Man" and "A Canadian's Toast proved that he can shine in the senti- mental and patriotic as well as the comic. Miss Jean McLauchlin of Brussels played the accompaniments for Mr. Fax and Miss Baker, in her usual good style, while W. H. Kerr of Brussels occupied the ehair very ac- ceptably'. Financial receipts were nearly $70. The trustees are to be congratulated on the splendid success attending the anniversary. Helps Men To Work Hard.
