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.

number of over three hundred are in
attendance this week at the London
Methodist Conference, which is being
held in that city. 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

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.

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

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-

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.
All along tbe track lie tbe carcases of
cattle and horses that have died of
thirst. Here is the home of the cactus
—miles of them, and such a variety.
Some tail and thin like an immense
"black snake" whip, some branchy and
bush -like, some flat -leaved, some
bunchy, others creeping along the
ground, and again, others as round as
though a pumpkin had been cut in
two pieces and the flat side placed
next the earth; some look like pretty
green footballs, but it is not safe to
"kick" then (at least with the bare
feet.) 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

fine buildings accommodating over
400es pupils, who are cared for by near-
ly 100 teachers. 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-

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.
