A magnificent service of Thanks- giving to commemorate the Jubilee of Huron Diocese will be held at the Cathedral In London on 'Tuesday, the 17th. A splendid service of praise has been arranged, the preacher being the famous Bishop of London, England, Dr. Ingram. This distinguished pre- late, of world-wide fame as a preach- er, is not less noted as the most popu- lar man in England among the poor �of London. Six Canadian and Ameri- can Bishops will be present, besides many of the clergy. St. Paul's con- gregation will be represented by a select few, who have secured tickets of admission. Tickets of course are free, but it was found necessary by this means to prevent over -crowd- ing. Baptist Rally Day. Last Sunday was Rally Day in the Baptist Sunday School. A carefully prepared program was well rendered under the able direction of Superin- tendent Cosens. The school -room was very prettily decorated, and was well filled with an attentive and in- terested audience. Pastor Allen gave an address on "The Ark of Safety," and at its close invited any who would accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and Lord to manifest it by the 'fled hand. About a dozen uplifted immediately responded, and a class for their further instruction will be held every Saturday. Any boys or girls, or young people of any age, who desire to become christians, or, who being christians, desire help in their christian lives, are invited to meet Pastor Allen in the basement of the .4i ptist Church at half -past ten on ' s,turday morning.

No grain being marketed ; hay, $12 to $13 a ton, Too Late. For some reason, last week's bud- gets from Wroxeter, Salem, Grey and Bell -nose did not reach us until after the Advance was printed and mailed. United States Subscribers. Subscribers in the United States must remember that the Advance is $1.50 and not $L00, as the postage costs us 52c a year on each paper. If only $1.00 is sent, we have to deduct the postage and send the paper for the rest, so far as it goes. A few good Bibles and Hymn Books, slightly shelf worn, at bar- gains.—Saunders.

VERY CREDITABLE. Iionsali Obs erver. 1 Our enterprising exchange, the Wingham Advance, has entered on its 35th year. It is a very creditable sheet, both as to matter and make up. A Bad Fall, Louis, son of Mr. Harold, G. T. R. agent, had a bad fall one day last week. Ho fell from the hay loft in Win. Nicholson's stable, falling on a barrel and cutting a severe gash in his head. He was unconscious for quite a length of time. It was a very bad fall, and left Louis with a very sore head for some time. School Board. The regular monthly meeting of Wingham School Board was held on Tuesday evening, but very little busi- ness awaited action. Mr. Jenkins re- ported on chimneys, and they will be completed soon. A car of coal will be purchased from Mr. McLean. Pay- ment of the monthly salaries was authorized, and Board adjourned.

IGndorioh Signal.] The Wingham Advance last week modestly mentioned the fact that it had entered on its thirty-fifth year. The Advance Is a good paper (barring g its polities, which are mighty bad), and under its present management is showing splendid vigor. We wish it h ed many more years of undiminished success, Court Of Revision. Judge Doyle held Court of Revision on Wingham Voters' List here on Fri- day. The Liberals added five names, and the Conservatives 20. There had been a number of removals, neces- sitating the cancelling of a number of names. The Conservatives had 16 struck off and the Liberals 42. Five names were removed from Part I to Part II, four by Liberals, one by Con- servatives. Error In Figures. In giving the highest taxpayers last week, Mr. John McLean's taxes were quoted $270,22. The correct amount is $373.02. Mr. McLean would be glad if the former amount was all he had to pay, but is willing to pay his share with other citizens. Among the heavy taxpayers, the names of Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna were uninten- tionally omitted. Their taxes amount .to $360.50. ONE OP THE VERY BEST, twingham Tines.] The Wingham Advance has jest en- tered its 35th year.

Bret'. Hall has our best wishes for continued suoeess, Wedded On Tuesday. Dr. John Agnew of Crestline, Ohio, is on avisit to his parents here at pre- sent. The trip is an exceedingly hap- py one, because he is accompanied by his bride, formerly Miss Smith, of Watford, Ont. The happy event was consummated on Tuesday of this week. As it was one of those quiet, but nevertheless interesting events, that make every one concerned hap- py, especially the contracting parties, we have but few particulars. The doctor's Wingham friends wish him and his bride many happy years to- gether. Brown & Wilford have been im- proving their Wingham Evaporator plant. On and after the 16th they will pay the highest price for apples large enough to peel ; price starts at 20e a bag. The Fall Fair. In connection with Wingham Fall Fair, the famous Schubert Symphony Olub and Lacly Quartette has been en- gaged to give a concert in the Opera House on Wednesday Evening, Sept. 25th.

On Friday afternoon, there will be the following attractions — 2.10 trot or pace, Road. horse speeding, Ladies' hitching race, potato race, Piping and dancing, Wingham Citizens Band will be present during the afternoon. See posters and hand bills for parti- culars. Farmers Should Note This, The Weekly Sun pays especial at- tention to Market conditions. On the question of hogs, it says ;—"There will be no glut in the supply of hogs in this Province during September and October, at all events. So much is made abundantly clear by the special reports, There may be a somewhat heavier pressure on the market in November, but after the end of December indications point to the pro- bability of receipts running below de- mand. A. Y. P. A. Organized. The Anglican Young People's As- sociation of St. Paul's Church met on Monday evening to organize for the winter. The following officers were elected :—President—Miss E.

Clark, the writer in Toronto Saturday Night, who writes over the signature, "Mack," is on a trip west. Speaking of the Amercans who are flocking into the Canadian West, he says—"A group of there from Dakota have a lot of steam plows and do plow- ing by contract in a district where I visited. At times they plow all night, working a double shift. The manager called on one farmer and offered to plow a fifty acre lot. The bargain was made, and next morning the far- mer hitched up his mare to drive over and see if the contractor would do the job right away. As he drove out he saw his field—it was already plowed and the gang had gone. They had done the work while he slept. Died In Regina. The funeral of the late Dixie Wat- son, who died last Wednesday in Regina, Sask., took place on Monday afternoon from St. George's Church, Goderich, to Maitland Cemetery. Mr. Watson was a former well-known re- sident of Goderich. IIe was born in Goderich about 68 or 70 years ago and studied law under J. B. Gordon, later going into the insurance business, and was also official assignee for the coun- ty of Huron, After leaving Goderich, he resided in Wingham, where he was Clerk of the Division Court. He went West, and for the past twenty-five years had been Clerk of the Supreme Court, until he retired last spring, and the Saskatchewan Legislature voted him $2,500. He was one of the early residents of Regina and took an active interest in its progress, having assist- ed in its early days to plow, where now is one of its leading streets.

Hanna had the Tees - water local option case brought before his attention on Thltrsda last,bya deputation of ministers and others from that village. They explained that on the first count they received exactly the necessary three-fifths majority, but on a recount they were two-fifths of a vote behind. They held, therefore, that the will of the people had been thwarted on a techni- cality and asked the government to persuade the local option commission- ers to refuse the licenses. Some time ago the government expressed to the the that tile, a cis en commissioners te i desire licenses be not granted, but the mes- sage was one day late. Licenses have been granted for one year, but Mr. promisedHanna that before re the Y were issued again the government would take the natter up with the local commissioners, and it was ex- pected the commissioners would carry out the policy of the gayermnent.

On Thursday last, a heavy electrical storm accompanied by rain, passed over Atwood and vicinity. The barn of Mr. Charles Kerr, about six miles west of the village was struck and a valuable mare killed. At the time of the crash Mr. Kerr was on the barn floor, and his brother Jas. and a young man, Reginald Neil, who is working for him, were in the stable beneath. The latter was unharness- ing when she was struck n and the nare he was renderedw e unconscious for some time. He had quite regained consciousness in the afternoon and was able to speak. How he escaped instant death is a miracle. Fire start- ed in the hay, but was extinguished through the prompt action of the Kerr boys, who were unhurt. The damage to the barn was slight, only a couple of posts beneath the standard on which the windmill rested being splintered. Lightning's Work, Over a year ago, Prof, Hicks out- lined the weather for September, and so far his predictions have been fulfill- ed, From the 4th to the 7th, it was said that storms of considerable energy would sweep over the country, and telegraphic reports show that this was the case, In this vicinity, on Thursday morning, 5th inst., the lightning struck a barn belonging to T. T. Field, a short distance from town. The barn contained over twen- ty-five tons of hay, the product of seventeen acres ; both building and contents were totally destroyed. There was an insurance of $400, which will not nearly cover the loss. On the same morning, Mr. John Duckett had a steer killed by the elec- tric fluid. Our Belgrave correspon- dent reports that Mr. Hopper's house, also Mr. Stnbb's, were struck during the same storm. A hail storm near Guelph did heavy damage, and many barns are reported burned by light- ning's stroke. Last Season's Wall Paper at cut prices.—Saunders. Our new Fall Dress Goods arrived ; get your dress or suit.—G. E. Ring. Cure For Turnip Lice. Prof. Macoun of the Experimental Farm, who ought to be an authority on such subjects, gives the following cure for the turnip louse, that is doing damage :—"Five gallons of flour, 26 gallons of water and 44 gallons of coal oil. Pour the coal oil into a barrel, put in the flour and stir thoroughly, then pour in 18 gallons of water and churn violently for four or five minutes, add the remainder of water and the emulsion is ready for use. A fine spray is required, as water poured on will just run off without taking ef- fect. One, and the principal cause of failure with any of these mixtures is, that generally spraying is never thought of until large patches of the field are beyond recovery,erY, then the application is put on hurriedly and only the infected portions sprayed. Begin spraying as soon as there is signs of aphis, and go over every plant. To delay courts failure, for the leaves curl up and the spraying mix- ture cannot reach them. If leaves are curled up, see that they are all pulled off and destroyed, and be sure and spray into the crown of the turnip and repeat at intervals of one or two weeks."

The Houston Chronicle gives the following remarkable instance of ani- mal sagacity :—When the southbound passenger train was near Hallsburg, a mare suddenly dashed up the track right toward the train, running swift- ly. It looked as if she would run right into the engine, and the air brakes were quickly applied, slowing the train down to six or seven miles an hour. Engineer Parrott thought the mare was blinded by the headlight, but the train was no sooner slowed down than the mare turned about and went from the train, keeping right down the tracks and making it impos- sible to run fast, lest the animal be struck. The mare went straight to a bridge over a creek, and when within a short distance of the bridge of the railway it was discovered that the colt of the mare had fallen with all of its feet through the bridge, placing it where it would have been killed had not the mate literally flagged fla ed the train. The mare stopped and began whinnying, and the train stopped also. Engineer Parrott, the fireman, and some of the passengers got off, and, relieving the colt, left the mare to trot off with her young as proud as a pea- cock. Those who witnessed the occur- rence say it was wonderful. Ohl Settler Gone. Friday last saw the departure of one of the earliest settlers of East Wawanosh, Mr. John Taylor. De- ceased was a native of Ireland and came to Canada when quite young. In 1840 he was united in marriage to Eliza Taggart, who survives him. In 1851, Mr. Taylor came into the bash, and took up lot 36, con. 14, East Wa- wanosh, and the following spring brought his wife and two children to their future home. Those were clays when the country was new, and set- tlers knew what toil and privations were. Goderich was the nearest source of supplies, and these had to be carried for utiles to the settler's home. Mr. Taylor was an industri- ous, frugal man, and out of the forest made a comfortable home for himself and family. Ile was a member of the Anglican communion, and took a very active part in the erection of the first church in Wingham. It was built near where the C. P. R. station now stands, and Mr. Taylor did most of the work upon it. Of those associated a with him in that work, only one fel.- low -worker remains, Mr. `int. Clornyn of town. Deceased W48 eighty years of age, aha besides his sorrowing part- ner, leaves five daughters and two sons. Tire daughters are ---].Frances of Winnipeg, Mrs, McCandlish of Nel- son, B. C., Mrs. A.

Wingham Ball tossers took ample revenge out of Kincardine for their defeat on Labor Day, by going into their own stamping ground last Fri- day and trimming "Henrys Hurrys"by a score of 6 to 5 in a close and exciting game. The big pitcher was at his best, and had good support, but he lost his senile as the leaders kept banging away at his mystic shoots, and in the first four innings piled up six runs, enough to win the game, while Kincardine secured five runs in the 3rd, 4t11 and 5th. Neither teams scored after the fifth inning, Dunlop striking out three men in each of 8th and Oth innings. Mr. Geo. Colvin of Teeswater umpired the game and showed no favors but was the master "amps" at all stages of the game. The following is the score :— Wingham. 032100000-6 Kincardine 0 0 2 1 2 0 0 0 0-5 This leaves Wingham still heading the Lakeside League.

Last Season's Wall Paper at cut prices—Saunders, The price of horses has taken quite a drop from figures that were received a few months ago. The dark outlook in the West is said to be the cause. The West has been a great market for Ontario horses for the past few years. While fishing in Mulmur lake re- cently, G. B. Richardson and R. D. Sloane of Shelburne, caught a trout that measured two feet eight and three quarter inches long, sixteen inches around, and weighed ten and a half pounds. WANTED.—Good smart boy to de- liver goods.—D.
