Warder vs. Bell. Judge Teetzel gave judgment in the case of Warder vs. Bell, tried at Gode- rich, to recover damages occasioned by the explosion of a boiler bought by plaintiff from defendant. The plaintiff alleged (1) false representa- tion as to tiro quality of the boiler ; (2) negligence in construction ; (3) breach of express warranty; (4) breach of implied warranty. There was a non -suit at the trial upon the first twa grounds. The judge then dispensed with the jury, and proceeded with- out a jury to try the question of de- fendants liability for breach of war- ranty. It was held that there was neither an express nor an implied war- ranty. The action was dismissed without costs. The Band Concert. The attendance at the Town Hall last Friday evening when the Band put on their last concert for the sea- son was not very large, and instead of realizing the amount asked for ($100) their treasury will be replenish- ed by only about one-third of that amount. The program was an excel- lent one, and worthy of a much larger house. Besides the selections by the Band, which are always much enjoy- ed. the following took part in the pro- gram :—Recitation by Miss Winnie McGuire of Brussels ; black art and sleight of hand by W. Aley • solo by Miss Griffin ; flag drill by twelve little girls; duet by Miss Griffin and Geo. Cline ; specialties by Herb, Wight - man. Mr. Gamey at Mitchell. Mr. R. R. Gamey, M. P. P„ spoke at Mitchell Friday evening on the in- teresting political topics of the day. A despatch from that town says :—Mr. Gamey's visit brought great crowds to town. On his arrival. the member for Manitoulin was serenaded by the brass band. People came from a circuit of thirty miles, and the large opera hall was crowded to suffocation, while hun- dreds were unable to gain admittance. Mr. Garvey spoke for nearly three hours, dealing with the resources of New Ontario and with the famous trials in which he was one of the cent- ral figures, and was well listened to throughout. The chair was taken by Dr. Steele, of Tavistock, and many were ppresent from surrounding towns, St. Mary's, Seaforth, Forest, Strat- ford, Olinton, and Exeter. • A good many people think that there ought to be more fasting and praying, but they want somebody else se to do it. ---Ram's Horn. 410* Bug Death is it preparation for the des- truction of Bugs, Beetles, Worms and all other insects on plants, and REMEMBER it help§ the growth of the. plant Instead of burning the leaves, and thus gives the plant proper time to develop. l.

There is one store in town that sells everything a man wears, and that is the R. H. Crowder Co's. store. The past few weeks have seen large additions to the stnek, which is always neatly and tastily kept.° Mr. Orowder; the manager, is a persistent advertiser, and that fact, along with the class of goods they sell, accounts for the suc- cessful business this firm is steadily building up. FOR SALE.—An Al Upright Piano, Bike Buggy, Phaeton, 2 Outtera—all at a great bargain,—Ronv. McleDoo. In Business. One of the many new villages that have risen up in our great north-west during the past eighteen months is Davidson, Assn.., and among those who have launched out in business in the new village, is John Park, son of Mr. I4: Park of town. So far, John has found business very satisfactory, and his many friends will wish him abundant success in the business ven- ture. Appreciated. , The Band wishes to take this means of conveying their sincere thanks to the citizens of Wingham for the loyal patronage accorded the concerts held during the past few months, which have made possible the purchase of uniforms for the members of the or- ganization. To those who so cheer- fully and creditably assisted in the program on the various occasions, their hearty thanks are also tendered. The Band sincerely appreciates every effort that our citizens put forth to assist theta in their laudable object. Oddfellowship. Maitland Lodge No. 10.

About one-half of this number are laymen, and they come from all parts of Western Onta- rio. One of the principal orders of business of the Conference will be the election of a president for the ensuing year, and it is generally conceded that the honor will fall to Rev, Richard Hobbs, formerly of this town, who was Recond in the voting twat year. The place of meeting in 1005 is also practically settled, an invitation hays tog been extended by the Methodists of Petrolea, and will be accepted. Nobody Injured. An accident to a way freight on the London Huron & Bruce Railway,, at Clinton, blocked the line for several hours last Wednesday afternoon and night, and the down train passenger due in London at 6.20 did not get in until four hours later. It was neces- sary to transfer passengers and bag- gage at the scene of the wreck from one train to another, and the train that left Loudon for Wingbam return- ed to the city, while the evening train from the north went back to. Wing - ham. No one was injured by the wreck, which occurred while some cars were being shunted onto the way freight. Tho auxiliary from London went to the scene, and was engaged for several hours in replacing the cars and clearing the line. Presentation. At tbe. conclusion of the patriotic exercises in the school, on Empire Day, the pupils of S. S. No. J.1. Turn - berry, took the occasion to- present Miss Winnie Menagh with an album and address, before leaving for the west. Following is the address :— Dear Winnie—We the pupils of S. S.

Win, Lowe, the ec- tor erformin thee last lead ?iter, Sudden Death. On Tuesday afternoon, May 24th, after a few days illness, there died in Turnberry, near Wroxeter, a highly respected resident in the person of Geo. Harris, in the 57th year of his age. Deceased was well known all through this part of the county as a successful dealer in cattle and hogs, and will be missed by the farmers, with whom he was a general favorite. Mr. Harris was born in Lanark Co., and came to Turnberry with his father who now resides in Gerrie, when about ten years of age. He•leaves a widow, three sons and three daugh- ters,, to mourn the- loss of a loving husband and kind and affectionate father.. There are also three brothers and a sister left to mourn the taking off so suddenly of one who a few days ago looked likely to spend many more years of a useful life. An affection of the throat appears to have been the cause of. death. The funeral took place last Thursday, and was very largely attended. RAINY RIVER DISTRICT. Hymeneal. At 3.20 p. in. on Wednesday of last ween, an interesting event occurred in Lower Wingham in the presence of over a hundred guests, when Rev, J. N. McLean, 13..Q.,, united in marriage Miss Martha Hawthorn end Mr, Wro. Sellars. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Henry Haw- thorn, and the groom Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sellars, 3rd line of Morris, George Hawthorn and Miss Mand Henry, brother and cousin re- spectively of the bride, attended the young couple through the trying or- deal. The presents were handsome and numerous, testifying W the re- spect in which the recipients are held, and the best wishes of a large circle of friends follow them to their new home on the 4th line of Morris, Sister Wedded. Fred, Tibbntt of town attended the wedding of his sister on Wednesday of last week, he Goderich township, The Clinton News -Record gives the following account of the happy event : At high noon on Wednesday last, the home of Mr, F. W. Tibbutt was the scene of a pretty wedding, when his daughter Lizzie became the wife of Mr, E. E. .Bracey of Waterloo, Rev; J. Husser performing the ceremony in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The bride was prettily attired in white silk trimmed with applique and chif- fon and carried a shower baguet of white carnations. The travelling suit was of navy blue cloth with hat to match. The high esteem in which the bride is held, was evidenced by the numerous and costly presents re- ceived. Wingham One. The second home game in the inter- mediate football series was played at the Park grounds on Friday of last week with Brussels as contestants. The play was so even throughput the game, that a spectator would find diffi- culty in picking the best team, but of course Wingham boys failed in the scoring. A couple of minutes before time was up Wingham had a penalty kick, which allows the hall to be placed 12 feet from the goal, with no one but the goal -keeper between ; the hopes of Winghamites raised, expecting this .kick would surely mean a goal and thus even the score, but what a disap- pointment when the ball went straight into the goal -keeper's hands. With only a minute or so to play, no more goals were scored, leaving Brussels the winners by a score of 2 to 1. It begins to look as if Brussels team will have the intermediate championship of this district again this year. Wanted to be a Jockey. A young man with a strong desire to become a fatuous Jockey, says the Brandon Sun, bad a strange ex- perience at the race track on Wednes- day afternoon. He had been airing his ability to some of the horsemen •and was sized up as a pretty good mark for an afternoon's amusement. A leading owner who was reported to be shy a rider offered the young man an engagement provided he would undergo vigorous training to reduce his weight. The fellow con- sented and then the stable boys got busy. He was encased in several horse blankets, a cap with ear laps and a pair of rubber top boots, and was sent to the track for a workout. He turned the course three times be- fore being stopped, and when weighed in again by Jack Swarts and Billy Elder it was found that he had lost six pounds, three ounces and a hone handled pocket knife. It will be re- peated again this afternoon if the fel- low hasn't "tumbled." Huron County Convention. As a number of residents from Wing - ham and vicinity went to Fort Fran- ces a short time ago, the following condensed report of what is going on in that district will be of interest to their many friends here. It is taken from the Fort Frances Times :se: Now that the lumber camps are broken up and the winter's cut in the woods is over a brief resume of what has been done in the Rainy River district will be of interest. With the coming of the Canadian Northern rail- way the• demand for ties, telegraph poles, posts, culvert timber, piling and other material required by the rail- way in the construction . of branch lines in the northwest, gives our set- tlers K0Iden opportunities of convert- ing into cash timber which would otherwise grace the log heap. In this way our settlers are not only cleating their land but are realizing a hand- some sum for their winter's work. The ties cut for McKenzie & Mann totalled 1,400,000, of which number Preston & .Neil of Felt Frances fur- nished 200,000. In adilielotl to this there are about twenty local saw mills along the river which will have at least an average cut of 100.000 feet. Summed ep this makes a cut of 36,052,000 feet of togs 1.400.000 ties, 210,000 piles, 8.000 poles, 100,000 posts. In dollars and cents this means for ties $314,000. piling $18,000, poles 05,500, ttsantotal of $207,00 after paying the Government$80,000duet on ies This does not include the value of the pine saw logs whirl* goes to the govern- ment except the amount expended for labor and supplies by the lumber cam- pantes, The amount Of money. therefore expended, in the district directly, ex - Coeds river $330,000 which is a harvest in itself, all of which is realized by the tattler and residents. While the farmer on the prairie 1* spending the winter doing chores and not only earning{ nothing but living on his mummer s work, the Rainy River farm- er is making money and clearing him land at the sante time. This is one reason why our settlers ere all prosper- ing� and le only another example of the led -vantages that Nsw Ontario otters the rattler, The Convention of Huron County Sunday School and Christian Endeav- or Associations will be held in Wing - ham on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 14th and 15th.

It has free Kindergartens, miles, are around the small railway stations, lonely -looking spats indeed. Sometimes around these, cluster a few small houses, and often not, Mexican adobe huts are seen here and there. The railway statione referred to are many miles apart, and in many cases appear to be simply stopping places for traine to receive crossing orders, at certain long sidetracks placed at intervals of many miles. We pass scores of stations (?) named. but not a single building of any kind, simply a. post with a signboard giving the name of the station. For hundreds of miles we are not out of sight of the moun- tains, in fact we are travelling among theta for several days. Our engines are now oil-burners—that is—they use crude oil instead of coal. Here and there, we stop at an oil well and a fresh supply is put in the tender. To lay the dust of the desert, the tracks are oil -sprinkled. At Topock, we cross the Colorado River and enter the State of Califor- nia. This was early in the morning. We expected at once to see the ver- dure and foliage, but not so. Al[ day we travel through desert places. Miles and miles of lava beds, hills evidently formed by volcanic action, threaten- ing -looking, black, bare mountains, that look ready 4o belch out death.

But at last we are over the des- ert, and soon after sunset we notice. we are approaching the boundary line of the arid region. At San Bernadine, a very pleasing reception awaited the delegates to the General Conference. The Methodist ladies and young people of the city, met the special trains to welcome the passengers as they passed through. The largo station was a pretty scene indeed.

The new High School costing neatly $100,00018 a magnificent building. The pupils of the public schools are apparently well-behaved, and so far as .our observation went, are not so rough in their play as in some cities. A teacher present in the play -ground perhaps has a wholesome effect, but their behavior is no doubt due partly to home -training as well as excellent school discipline. If you meet the pupils on their way from school, they do not spread themselves across the sidewalk and crowd or jostle citizens off, on to the street, but respectfully step aside to allow them to pass. Besides the Public and High Schools, Pasadena has a Throop Poly- technic Institute and an Art School. The former affords full college and commercial courses ; engineering and science departments are especially strong. Full courses are available in manual training, shop -work in wood and metal for boys, and cooking and dressmaking for girls, while high grade art work is done in drawing, painting. wood -carving and clay -mod- elling, It has thirty teachers and its buildings cost nearly $200,000, Pasadena's Public Library stands in a beautiful park. The building cost $45,000 ; it has 20,000 volumes and re- ports 100,000 books read during the year. A classical school for boys and an- other for girls are other features of Pasadena's educational advantages. Occidental College will soon boast of a magnificent "Hall of Letters" to be built within a few months, and has a large endowment fund. Pasadena's parks are most beautiful floral spots in a beautiful city. Twen- ty-five miles of electric railway .bring the citizens near to every attraction. For 20 cents you may go to Los Ange- les and return. The city has 40 acres of water -bearing land, 27 acres for gar- bage, '77 miles of streets, 85 miles of cement sidewalks, 115 miles of curbing and cement guttering. The city's sewage is by means of 55 miles of sewers conveyed to the city sewage farm of 300 acres, where it is utilized, in producing remunerative crops.
