Enjoyed Themselves Friday Evening.
On Friday evening last a gladsome
gang, composed of County Councillors,
Town Councillors, household counsellors,
newspaper men (public counsellors), and
a number who were neither councillors
nor counsellors, and probably never would
be either, availed themselves of the kind
offer of Mr. Joseph Kidd, and took part
in the excursion on the "Josephine Kidd.'
Shortly after eight o'clock the steamer
left her moorings with as lively a cargo
as she ever bore. The town band, under
the leadership of Mr. Ben Armstrong,
struck up a lively air, and the passengers
took seats and turned their eyes toward
the "deep." Some of the eyes didn't
stay long turned in that direction, for
whispeenugs got out that the Goderich
Reeves had provided refreshments for
the company, and in a short time the
eyes followed the graceful form of Mr.
Fred Johnston, the Purveyor -General un
the occasion, and shortly afterward a
number of entire bodies rose up and
followed the redoubtable Fred into the
cabin, where "lemonade,' cigars and
other etceteras were "dished" out to all
and sundry who desired to be refreshed.
Dave Currie a lit the lemons on the
occasion and did it in style, too.
Then the band stopped their serenade
and visited the cabin to "lemonade."
During the intermission of the band for
refreshments, Harry Smith's choir tilled
the breach, and "Annie Lurie," "Rule
Britannia." "Fair Canada," "One more
River to Cross," and other choice selec-
tions from the old roasters (and the new,
also) were wafted from the forward part
of the boat. The mel.ely was delightful.
the weather was bracing, and same of
co
the excursionists didn't have their over -
coati.' on; and that was the reason, some
folks say, why no difficulty was experi-
enced during the days that have inter-
vened, in discovering the "sweet warblers"
on the "Josephine Kidd," or the- lightly
clad gentlemen who attended the levee
HONORS. -In the list of University
honors given in last issue, the full wing
was accidental• omitted: -Alex. F. Mc-
Kenzie, of �1 ingham, son of a fermor
townsman, Geo. McKenzie Esq:, and a
former H. S. pupil, passed his 1st. year
examination in medicine with honors
standing lat in the 1st class in anatomy,
and 1st in 2nd class in chemistry and
natural philosophy.
WHO ARE THEY ?-An exchange says:
"A Godertch firm are preparing to yank
a salt well at Pt. Frank, and last week
landed a quantity of their machinery at
Thedford. Mr. R. Prittie and a gang
of men from Arkona, moved the machin-
ery from there to the port. One piece,
a large holler of 80 horse power capa-
city, kept them a week on the road,
about seven miles."
• EYE, EAR AND THROAT. -We under-
stand that Dr. Proudfoot, oculist and
sunlit of Montreal, who was advertised
to be at the British Exchange Hotel,
Goderich, from Wednesday until Friday,
was detained in Seaforth by the nu-
merous operations he had to performthere, and did not arrive in town until
last evening. Ho can be consulted for
any disease of the eye, ear or throat.
Capt. Robertson, the gentlemanly
commander of the Ontario, kindly
"showed es through" the steamer on
Tuesday. The new compound engines
are now working admirably, and the
}oat is well-equipped in every respect.
In reply to questions about the prosper-
ity of the ports in the North-West, Capt.
Robertson informed us that "The Land-
ing" is very quiet, but that the was sur-
prised at the wonderful change for the
better in Duluth. He hardly recog-
nized the zenith city, so rapidly has it
shot ahead of late.
Mrs. Hazlitt, of Port Huron, the well-
known temperance orator, is the guest
of Hon. John Hibbard. Mrs. Hazlitt
has given much time, money and energy
to forward the cause of temperance, and
is highly thought of by all who have the
honor of her acquaintance.
Qrorr4INo CHALLENGE. -We understand
that Messrs. H. Martin and W. Potts, of
Saltford, have challenged Messrs. E.
Martin and P. Holt, of Goderich to a
game of quoits, and that the iron circlets
will be pitched by the above named gen-
tlemen at Saltford on Saturday.
EARLY Cores:RATION.-Mr. J. A.
Turnbull preached a special sermon to
young people in Knox Cnurch on Sun-
day evening, taking for his text the
words "Remember now thy Creater in
the days of thy youth." There was a
large attendance, and the discourse was
an able one.

Considerable excitement reigned along
the wharves early thiaweek, when it was
announced that men employed to "trim"
cargoes of-grainrefused to work at. the
wages offered by the captain of the
Edward Blake.
On Thursday morning a representa-
tive of THE Stu NAL went du'vn to the
scene of the strike, and tried to get at
the bottom of the affair. After intro-
ducing ourselva ti the captain of the
schooner, and being. invited to a seat
in the cabin, that gentleman told his
story in a rather forcible manner.
We led off by remarking that we under-
stood that he had had a little ditticuty
with sane of the trimmers.
"There haint been no difficulty en my
part," returned Capt. Brooke; for• a
"difficulty" conveys to the mind of the
average lake Captain, a popping of re-
volvers, a drawing of knives, and the
shedding of gore.
"But we were told that you had some
trouble with the trimmers --that they
wouldn't work for your figures, and you
would not come dowh to theirs."
-Well, you just bet I won't. I won't
pay $2 a thousand for getting my vowel
trimmed here, when at every othes port
in Canada they charge only $1,50, and
sometimes under. These high charges
are enough to kill this port. I'll be
d -------d if 1'11 bring auother cargo here.
I offered theist $1.50 a thousand, and
they refused. Then I offered them 25e
an flour, and they wanted 50c. Why
that's tive dollars a day. 'Well' say. I,
'if yon won't take sty offer, 1'11 get my
crew to do it themselves.' This morning
spume of the men front town came
down to work, but a lot of therm fel-
lows threatened them orf. I'll get my

CRICKET MATCH. -The first match of
the season was played on the grounds of
the Goderich cricket club on Friday
last, the 11th inst, between the clubs of
Clinton and Goderich respectively-. The
latter won the toss and sent their oppon-
ents to bat at 11 p. in. A large number
of spectators witnessed the game. So
excellent was the bowling and fielding
of the home team that the visitors were
retired for a total of 74 runs. On Gode-
rich taking the willow the runs began
to bound upward, Stark, Duneford and
Armstrong totling 60 runs between them
before they went to grass. The inning of
Goderich closed for 132. The Clinton
men on again talking the bat succeeded
in getting 40 on their , score, but as
Goderich had a plurality of 18,no second
inning was participated in by the latter.
The beautiftd new broom which the visi-
tors brought to town was left at Pulley's
stable, as they had no use for it after
the game was over. The thatch was ably
and satisfactorily umpired by Mr. W.
Jackson, of Clinton, and 'Messrs W.
Welsh and J. Mooaely, of Goderich. The
following are the .cores;
STRAWBE.RRIEN.-Mr. John Stewart,
of Benmiller,the well known fruit raiser,
and floriculturist, has our thanks for a
number of baskets of as choice straw-
berries as we ever put sugar and cream
upon. Mr. Stewart has about four acres
yielding this year, but informs us that
Rhe cru is not expected to be a large
one. There is one thing Mr. Stewart
does not do with his strawberries -he
doesn't put the biggest on the top. Our
boxes were not specially picked for us,
and the berries were big all through.
Mr. Stewart is ready to fill orders for
the season, lyy the box, or by the score
at cheapest rates. VI a predict a rapid
sale for is entire crop.
THE ECLIPSE. -- The total eclipse of the
moron occurred early on Sunday morning,
according to the predictions of the as-
tronomers, and was witnessed by mahy
citizens, as the lighted windows of many
residences throughout the town testified.
The first streak, so to speak, of the eclipee
became visible at 11.40 p.m. on Saturday
night, and while the earth's shadow was

All was not peace, but everything was
merry, and nothing seemed to detract
from the merriment, not even when some
of the number went aft to"lemonade." If.
you ask any member of the County Council
of 1881 where he ever experienced true
happiness he will tell you it was on the
"Josephine Kidd," on the evening of
the 10th of June, A. D. 1881.
Along by the aunt skipped the ".Jos-
ephine.' and into the cabin occasionally
skipped come of the passengers. It was
ditticult to knew which was in best trim
-the taut little craft or the living
freight. The steamer seemed a thing of
life, and was full of animation; the pass-
engers were also full of life, and ani-
mation and -and -but language fails us
to depict the liveliness of the scene.
But now we have hail a magnificent
passage.- it is time the bow of the hoat
should turn toward home. Mr. Joseph
Kidd, the genial proprietor, who seems
a commodore, every inch of him, (and
there are a good many inchea of him,
too,) suggests that we make Kincardine
before returning. But his geneswity
intuit not be imposed upon; we may be
glad to accept such a kind offer from
him on a future occasion; and besides
many eyes are watching in Goderich fur
the return of the "Josephine Kidd,"
this evening; and so she turns home-
ward.
Congratulation all around .,n the suc-
cess of the trip. and the praises of Mr.
Kidd are loud and long. Finally John-

And Capt. Brooks, who is a powerful
man, with a pugnacious cast of counte-
nance, hooked as if he meant every word
he said.
"There are other captains besides
rate who will not come to this harbor and
pay such charges for trimming," he
added.
One of the malcontents was interview-
ed, who said that $2 a thousand was tittle
enough for trimming a vessel. He had
often worked for less than 25c. an hour,
and was quite willing to work for 25c.
now; but it any man worked he would
never get the end of it from the other
fellows.
'The other fellows' loafed around the
wharves or roosted on the Mews of the
vessels in port all day, while their fami-
lies at home, with perhaps empty cup-
buards, waited their return with the
money for the next meal. If it be true
that dock laborers charge higher prices
here than elsewhere, and captains and
shippers say they do, then the business
done at the harbor will not increase, and
the men ,will be standing in their own
light. Our town authorities end busi-
ness men should look into the 'natter,
and while the laboring men is not to be
imposed upon, yet the interests of ship-
pers and carriers, and the business gene-
rally of the town must not suffer on their
account.
