As we have shortly to
vacate the premises we have
occupied during the past four
years for our Crockery and

we find that we. cannot make
room for both lines in . the

fore decided to go out of
crockery and glassware alto-
gether, at least so far as our
Lucknow business is con-
cerned. During the month
of December,' then, we will
offer our wole stock in this -
line', consisting of Tea Sets,
Dinner Sets, Chamber Sets,
Crystal Sets, and a large
variety of staple goods too
numerous too mention, at cash
discounts ranging from 20
per cent. to 30 per cent. We
do not expect that these goods
will Last at the prices offered,
and we would advise anyone
desiring to invest ilt these
lines to make an early call.
Our excellent 'stock of boots
and shoes will be continued
as heretofore and we are con-
stantly adding new lines
which we are offering at prices
that cannot fail to interest
you., We place ' them against
anything in the trade. As
well as our large and choice
stock of dry goods and
groceries.

TERRIBLE AWAKENING.
Sad Drowning In Bruce C. ulnt7.
The following particulars of the sad
drowning accident at Inverhuron and
which was referred to in the last issue,
of the SENTINEL, are taken from the
Kincardine Review :" The house occu-
•pied by John Smith and family is built
on , an elevation about four rods from
the river. The swollen waters carried.
away the sand and undermined the.
house. The first to give way was a
wing of the house in a room of which
slept two girls, one 15 the other 7
years of age,- This was about 3 o'clock
in the morning. A boy sleeping in
the main building was awakened by
the falling of plaster and the faiirt
screams of his drowning sisters. He
rushed into his parents' bedroom and
wakening his father told him he
thought the house ' was falling. The
father told him to light the lamp and
go into the ;iris' room.,,, The boy
struck a light and instead of opening
the :door into his sisters' bedroom he
opened it into the wide world where
the wizard winds and the water wraiths
shrieked and roared in the inky dark-
ness. There was no time ,to think 'of
the dear, children .who had a minute
ago dropped from a downy bed into a
watery grave. The remaining inmates
were aroused and taken from the house
just before it fell from .its frail emin-
ence fifteen feet to the raging waters
below. Nothing was saved of . the
household effects. The bodies of the
4-wo-gi-r-1 s -ha ve-not—yet-been-recovered.
In all' 'probability they: are buried be •
-
•neath' the sands which were washed in
large quantities intd the lake. Neigh;
bors with sympathetic hearts and' will-
ing hands were soon on the scene, but
nothing ,could be done but house and
properly, clothe Mr. and Mrs. Smith
and their two remaining children, a
boy and a girl.. Assistance' is being
generously bestowed on the unfortun-
ate survivors.
While going down to the rescue with
a lantern Mr. Dan Mullin fell a dis-
tance of 12 feet into the river and
barely escaped drowning.
BIHITECHURCH.
Mr. Oliver has bought the. grocery
stock of Mr. Beaton and a lot from
Mr. Mowbry on which heintends
building a large store and stocking it
at once. -
Mr. Heaton has rented the store. 'at
Baker's Corners in which he intends
'putting a general 'line of goods and
will also carry on the butchering busi-
ness, so that .we believe he will be a
benefit in that locality.
The Patrons of Industry in this vi-
cinity are becoming very strong. They
have received a consignment of tea
from Marshall & Bry which has proved
very satisfactory and they are about,
ordering lamp oil and a bill of grocer-
ies which will be decided on at next
meeting unless the merchants can . or
will furnish the same at a much re-
duced rate from what they have been
selling at.
The recent floods have clone consid-
erable damage in this locality in the
carrying away of bridges and culverts.
• Mr. H.' Spencer, fruit tree agent of
this place, we understand has sold an
immense lot of stock in.this as well as
other sections this year which is not
to be wondered at owing to the very
excellent stock sold' l'y him and we
would advise all whointend to plant
to give their order to•him as they .will
'save money and get No. 1 stock by so
doing. .
o
—"Well, plenty of farm sales these
days?" was the query put to an auc-
tioneer the other day, "no" came the
reply from the knight of the hammer
with apparent disgust, "nothing doing
at all hang it; the fannershave to
much money, and if we have two more
crops like this last one, they won't
allow us to speak to . them." This is
certainly a good indication as' to the
flourishing condition of farms in this
neighborhood. Auctioneers know as
much about farmers and their concerns
as most people.
