Apply at TInmES office, The Late Richard Leishman, The death on Friday last of Richard Lsishman, under the peculiarly sad oir- oumstances, reznoves a prominent figure. from the township of East Wawanosh. For some months past Mr, Leishman had been in poor health, and it was noticed that his physical and mental condition was gradually declining. He was, how- ever, able to go about the plane, and on Friday morning was out attending to the cattle, when by some mane he got into the creek whioh rune through his farm, and when found shortly afterwards life had departed, The late Richard Leish- man was a native of Scotland, having peen born near Edinburgh in 1840, being a eon of the late John Leishman. About the year 1852 he name to Canada witb his parents, who in the following year settled on lot 42, concession 5, Bast Wawanosh. In his younger days Rich- ard followed the occupation of framer. In 1869 ho was married to Mies Margaret Nethery, and about the year 1874 pur- chased and Fettled ou lot 32, con- cession 9, which was then all bush, By hard work and frugal management they succeeded iu establishing a home, and converted the dense bush into a produo- tive farm, A few years ago an adjoining lot was purchased where the family have resided for the past two years. Mr. Leishman wag an Anglican in religion, and for some years occupied the position of Superintendent of the Sunday School of Trinity Church, Bel - grave. In polities he was a staunch Conservative, and on accession to power of the Whitney Government was appoin- ted a Justice of the Peace. He was a member of the A. O. U. W. and Orange S oeieties, in which latter he took an active interest, having for three years oconpied the chair of the Deputy Master of the County Lodge of North Huron. His quiet, unassuming manner, strict integrity and genial qualities, made him many friends, by whom he was held in high esteem. To Mr, and Mrs. Leish- man were born eight daughters and three sons. The surviving are, besides the widow : -Mrs. Joseph Mains, Mrs. Albert Mains and Mrs. 0. Wightman, of Arcola; Mrs. John Armstrong, of Belgrave; Mrs. James Dow, of East Wawanosh; Misses Oelia, Emma, and Olive, at home; Alex- ander, who resides on the homestead; and Henry, of Hanley, Sask. A son, John, died some years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, the re- mains being•laid in the MoOrea oemetry at Belgrave. This was probably the largest funeral ever seen in that section. Services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. Mr, Hartley, of Blyth, ani Rev. T. S. Boyle, of Wing - ham. The pallbearers were Messrs. Chas. Campbell, Hugh McBurney, Thos. Jamieson, Chas. McCrea, John Watson and Henry Johnston. To the sorrowing relatives is extended the profound sympathy of the entire community. Fall Fair Entertainment. The Turnberry Agricultural Society have engaged the Schubert Symphony Club and Lady Quartette for a; ..gnter- tainmont in the opera house on the even- ing of Sept. 25th, It consists of four ladies and two men, and the program is both vocal and instrumental. They have appeared beforoe large audiences in all parts of the States, and are moat highly spoken of by the press. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says :- " The -"The Sohubert Symphony Club is as versatile as it is talented, and the pro- gram rendered at the Peoples' Church last evening was as enjoyable as it was varied," The Denver 'Daily News says -"It is rarely indeed, that Denver is favored with such vocal execution and instru- mental as well. It was a rare privilege, thoroughly appreciated by the audience, to listen to the wonderful voices of the Quartette in their harmonious blending and surprising range, and there was not a number on the program but seoured an encore."

Glasses fitted. rhe New Bible Class. A veru successful Sunday School con- vention of the echoole in the Wingham District of the Methodist Church was held at Ripley on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Jno. Kerr of this town presented the subject of "The New Bible Class." Striking contrasts were drawn from a few statistics quoted. Out of a total Sunday School force of 329,000, only 84,- 000 are members of the Methodist Church and out of a membership of 317,000 less than 25% are in the school. Many people have a misconception of the in- tention and work of the Sabbath School and everybody's motto shouldb be "Get the church into the Sunday School." Character training for service can be done better there than any place else. Organize a New Movement Bible Class under the direction of a set of officers and crowd it with adults. It will make the school popular, will increase the membership and help the pastor. Many new ideas were thrown out as to the usefulness and practical working of this modern department of work. . Jubilee of Huron Diocese. An event of absorbing interest to Anglicans all over Western Ontario was the splendid service of praise held in St. Paul's, London on Tuesday last to com- memorate the Jubilee of the Diocese of Huron. The service was most impressive and the long line of choristers and clergy in surplices presented an imposing spec- tacle. Morning Prayer was said by the Dean, the Bishops Of Niagara and Algoma also taking part. It was followed by the Holy Communion taken by Bishop Williams, and the Archbishop of Toronto, The centre figure of the gathering was the distinguished Bishop of London, Dr. m Ingram, whose Episcopal fame e ha s been built upon his spiritual work among the poor of London. This noted prelate, admired by all Christiane regardless of creed, preached a ohataoteristio sermon, pointed, forceful and practical, A lunch- eon was served after the service in Oronyn Hall at which over three hundred sat down. The only 'unsatisfactory part of the day was the long responses to the first toaet, "The Jubilee of the Diocese," On this account many who were leaving on late afternoon trains were unable to wait for Dr, Ingram'a reply to the toast of the Church. It was, if possible, more interesting than his sermon of the moru- ing. Tho central theme of the Bishdpe optimistic, addressee seemed to be work and unity. The functions of the day Were a very fitting celebration of the event, the competition of fifty years of church progress, WELL DIGGING. -I am now prepared to do well digging and cleaning on short notice.

The Cup is still held by the Auburn team, and the medal for the best shot was not given.
