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.

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. 4 PARA]HOUNT.'

The members of (he above mentioned Lodge are .determined to to ike their meetings Loth instructive and enter- taining and are sparing no pains in doing so. The programme at their last meeting consisted of a spelling match in which some of the nrernbern.• distinguished themselves. Mr. J. F. Johnston has resigned his position as teacher of our school and Mr. Alex. McFadven, of Kincardine, has been engaged as his successor.

It is about time people had their roots up. - Mr. Peter • Murchison, who a few weeks ago telt for Toronto has secured a position in the office of E. & 0. Gur- ney Co. there. We wish him success in his new sphere. ' Mr. F. Cook had twin ears of corn on a stalk which contained almost 800 seeds. This is away ahead of the pro- verbia!•"an hundred fold." The weather week before last was moist and cool and the "wind she blowed like hairy cane” bringing down such. obstructions as trees, fences, corn- stalks &e. It also did some slight damage to the Mill. One and a half million pounds of milk have been manufactured into cheese at the Paramount Cheese Fac- tory this,season'bringing about $13,000 into the surrounding country. Dewdrop lodge debated last Friday On the subject "Resolved that Prohibition would no.f be in favor of the Temper- ance man." After some interesting remarks from both sides the jury gave their decision in the affirmative. The recent fall of snow gave every owner of a horse and rig a.chance to have a pleasant drive with his fair one, and many availed themselves of the chance. Mr, Wm. McGuire, who - has been working in the• far 'West for the past few months, has returned home again looking hale'and.hcarty. y Our cattle'buyerLMr. J. 1.r. Murray, shipped a fine load of cattle to Toronto last week. . The present teacher, Mr. Hudson, has been re-engaged in . Paramount school. Messrs. A. Mciver and J. McLeod have returned from- the Northwest after an absence of over a year. By appearances their sojourn in the west has agreed with thein. It is rumored that Mr. A. Torole is going to have the largest sooting match of ' the season. Let it come, but also let every one come' with their own supply of shot and not be like Ripleyites who had to be supplied with shot and then had to he coaxed to' shoot. The Paramount Association of the P. of . I... intend having another ;rand concert in Paramount schoolhouse. The evening is not yet set, but further notice will be given so that all may come out and enjoy a pleasant time, CRAGGIE'S' KNOLL. This week it is our painful duty to chronicle the death of Mr. John McKay an old and highly respected resident of the sixth 'concession. De- ceased had been ailing for several weeks before his death, but 'nothing serious wad 'anticipated until a few days before his death when he became suddenly worse and despite all that mortal hands could do he passed away to his final reward on Sunday evening the 22nd ult. The funeral took place on Wednesday to the Kin- loss cemetery: The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire neighborhood. Mr. Malcolm ,McKay is at present visiting friends in Goderich. Miss Tena Kay arrived home 'last week from Red Jacket, where she has been visiting friends. Miss Rachel McDonald arrived home last Thursday after spending sev- eral weeks visiting friends in and around Goderich. Her many friends will be pleased to hear that her health is greatly improved. Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm McKay, of Toronto, were here on .Wednesday last attending the funeral of Mr. McKay's father. - A temperance lecture under the aus- pices of Maple Leaf Lodge Y. O. G. T. was delivered in the Temperance Hall here on Friday evening last by the Rev. Mr, McKay, of Eucknow. De. Spite the bni rterous weather of the ' evening the lecturer was greeted by a fairly large and very appreciative aud- ience. Mr. McKay is a very able and `impressive lecturer and has only to he ST.
