LEG I3RoHEN.—Mr Thos. McCou-
nel, a foreman for Mr Forrester, had
the misfortune to slip and break his
leg at Stratford, on Dominion Day.
HAYING —The gathering of this
crop is in full swing, and for a few
days farmers will be busy housine it.
In most cases the yield is pretty light
though we have heard of some who
will bare a good average crop.
NOT HURT.—Oa Monday evening
an elderly gentleman of town got on
a train at the station for the purpose
of seeing bis daughter off, when the
train began to move, and he hurried
out and jumped off, the momentum
throwing him violently ou the plat-
form. Fortunately he was not hurt.
EXAMINATIONS,—The town hall
is daily the centre of attraction to a
large number of young men and wo-
men, who are writing either for 1st,
2nd or 3rd class teacher's certificates,
and if all or even a large percentage
paes,there is not likely to be a dearth
of teachers for some time. Mr Mal-
loch has charge of the examination.

The Grand Lodge meets. in Barrie, in
August.
HEAVY Loss, — Last week vas
mentioned the arrival of a stallion
from the old country, for Mr A.Innes,
of Stanley. This gentleman had not
much more than got the animal home
when it was taken i11, and notwith-
standing the efforts of the very best
veterinary skill it succumbed to its
ailment a few days after. The loss
to Mr Innes will be heavy,as the horse
was a fine one.
NARROW EseAee.—lin Monday
evening Mr J. Shcrritt was in the act
of driving across the railway track on
the Huron road, just as a train came
along 'and frightened his horse,which
commenced to back, and before he
could get i;, stopped it had backed
over the high embankment, throwing
him out and injuring the buggy some-
what. He was fortunate in escaping
as well as he did.
PRESENTATION.— Advantage was
taken of the reception at the house of
Mr W Doherty, in Thur . evening
last, to recognize, in a slight wa ,
services of this gentleman, as leade
of Rattenbury St. Methodist church
choir. For about . eight years Mr
Doherty has filled this position,spar-
ing neither time or means to make
the choir an efficient aid in church
services, and the fact that it is con-
sidered to be one of the best in West-
ern Ontario, is an evidence that his
efforts have been successful. No
one has done more gratuitous work of
its kind than Mr Duherty,and no one
is more worthy of honor. His .votk
has truly been "a labor of love," and
as a Blight acknowledgement of his
services, he was presented, on the
evening in question, with a very
handsome rocking cbair,accompanied
by an address. Mr Doherty made a
happy reply, and at the, close of his
remarks the large crowd present ex-
pressed appreciation by a hearty ap-
plause.
DISMISSED.—It bas been known
for some time that there were a num-
ber of applicants for the position of
Inspector of the South riding. Mr
Sprague took the office when no one
else could be found to accept it; he
did his work faithfully and, at a time
(during the enforcement of the Scott
Act) when it required no little deter-
mination and courage to face the dif-
ficulties then existing, and it was
only reasonable that he should ex•
pect to hold the position after the
act was defeated. Ile has been per-
forming the duties of Itis position up
to this week, when he received notice
frotnttbe department that his'services
were no longer required, and that Mr
Ballantyne bad bean appointed in his
e
Budget of last week gives Mr Walter
Coats, who has just sold out there, a
big send-off, although it thinks he is
"a pretty stiff Grit," a statement that
cannot be successfully refuted. Wal-
ter will move his family to C1intou,
but has not decided what he will do.
HURON 1IvisteAL ASSOCIATION. —
The next regular meeting of the Y•Iur-
on Medical Association, will be held
in the class room of the Mechanics'
Inst ante, Seaforth; at one o'clock, p.
m., on Tuesday, July 10, "1188. °A""
number of interesting papers will be
read.
To BE DISCONTINUED.—We are in-
formed that the Ontario Government
will shortly cancel all the commis-
sions of those police magistrates in
counties where the Scott Act has
been defeated, it having been under-
stood at the outset that their official
relations would terminate in case the
act was repealed.
A garden Conversazione, under
the auspices of the Y.P.C. E. Society,
of the Ontario Street Methodist
church, will be held on Friday even-
ing, July 6th; at the residence of Mr
A. H. Manning, Albert St.. The
Doherty band will be in attendance.
Should the weather be unfavorable it
will be held in the church.
MR Murray, of Kippen, (Tucker -
smith,) called here on Wednesday, on
his way home from Michigan, where
be bad been on a visit to his brother,'
at Carson City. He states that al-
though there are some fine farms over
there, there is nothing to equal the
township of Tuckersmith. Mr Mur-
ray bad the misfortune to get carried
out of the way, and was, therefore, a
day longer in reaching home than he
had counted on.
TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION—A meet-
ing of the Executive Committee of
the East Huron Teachers' Association
was held in the Model School last
Saturday, Misses McGowan, Helyar,
\Veir, and Messrs Malloch, Lough
and Burchill being present. Arrange-
ments were made for the next meet-
ing of' the Institute, which is to be
held in Wingham, Oct. 18 and 19.—
Mr Houston, of Toronto, is to deliver
a number of addresses in connection
with the subject of "English."
PRESENTATION.—The Ontario St.
Sabbath school and the Board •of
Trustees presented Mr Geo. Robinson,
prior to his departure for Manitoba,
with a .handsome Bible, as *light re-
cognition of his services as assistant
librarian and usher. Mr Robinson
bas been an active adherent of the
Ontario St. church for some time and
his good nature and willingness to
work have made for him a large num-
ber of friends. He carries, with him
to his new home the best wishes of a
large circle'of friends; who regret the
necessity for his departure.
RESIGNEn—As a result of the fric-
tion that occurred at the Council on
Monday evening, both the Reeve and
Deputy have tendered their resigna•
tion, the former accompanying his
with a check to cover the expenses of
a new election. We hope that one
will not be necessary, and we voice
the sentiments of a great many in
town when we say that the council
should not accept the resignation of
these two gentlemen. That they are
exceptionally good men for the posi-
tions is universally admitted, and
tbat they have done their best; in toe
interests of the town is also true, but
hey should, at least, reconsider their
and imprudent action, and
ut the balance of the term for
hey were elected.
ss CHANGE.—As will be
advertisement in another
r John McGarya, one of
t grocery Merchants of-Clin-
decided to retire from active
ess life and has disposed of his
ck and good will to Mr George
Swallow, who will continue the same
in Mr McGarva's stand. Mr Swallow
starts under the most favorable cit•
camstances having, worked at it for a
number of years in Godericb, but for
the last seven years has been manager
at Irwin's grain elevator, which posi-
tion has made him thoroughly ac-
quainted with almost every farmer
for miles around, and rn which posi-
tion he has given the utmost satis-
faction, proving himself to be an
obliging and an agreeable man. Mr
Swallow is also one of the most popu-
lar men in the Willis church, besides
being recently appointed elder, he is
a worker in choir and Sabbath School
work, and whatever he goes at his
heart and soul is in the work, con-
sequently we bespeak for Mr Swallow
a successful career.
