Thanksgiving. Services.
"The harvest thanksgiving services
in Trinity church on Sunday last were
Very hearty, and the church was never
more handsomely decorated. The ser-
mons were preached by Rev. Mr. Hunt,
of Exeter, and they were peculiarly
suited to the occasion, and were de-
livered with great power and eloquence.
Next evening' a service was compiled
and arranged from "Uncle Tom's Cab
in," and was entitled "Eva". It was
sung by the Sunday school children,
who were trained by the Rector. It was
beautifully rendered throughout, and
was highly appreciated by the large
audience. Short and interesting ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. Messrs.
Hunt and terrin, after which a vote
of thanks to the ladies, &c., was moved
by Mr. W. R. Davis, and nicely second-
ed by Rev. A. F. Tully, Proceeds $50."
Mitchell Advocate,
Lucas: On Tuesday night of last
week a fire took place in the stable
owned by Mary Parker, near Gibson's
Planing Mill, and burned it down and
also an adjoining stable, belonging to
Mr. Wm. Douevan. The firemen were
promptly on hand and had a good
stream on the building. The house
which was only a few feet from the
burning buildings was saved. How
the fire originated is a mystery. There.
was an insurance on the house, but
none on either of the stables,

occurred on Monday Oct. 1, after a se-
vere illness of inflammation of the
bowels, caused by swallowing_- some
seeds, and which illness was so acute
that he only last a few days, when, des-
pite all that the best medical skill could.
do, there being three physicians in ats.
tesdance at the last, the sufferer passed
away in the very bloom of manhood,
being only 19 years of age. Fifa par-
ents and the bereaved famil. have the
sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the
community in their very sad bereave
relent. The funeral cortege to the.
Rodgeryille cemetery, on Wednesday
afternoon was very largely attended,
and the casket was covered with beau-
tiful wreaths of flowers, all testifyin g
to tho respect and esteem in which the
deceased was held.

Look out for horse thieves!Mr J.S.
Howland drove over to air. S. Rannie's
ou Sunday last to pay him a. visit and
after spending the day with Mr, Ran-
nie drove out to the Evangelical church
Zurich, iu the evening, The horse and
buggy was left standing in the shed,
but before he returned both were mis-
ing. Search was made in every direc-
tion and was at last tracedto Mr. Jas-
per Walper's residence, 3t miles from
Zurich. The borse had been driven
very hard and when found the cushion
was missing,—Mr Geo, Thiel will re-
ceive the Congratulations of many
friends on his return home from De-
troit with his bride, Miss Lizzie Siemon.
George kept his little affair very quiet,
the announcement of the marriage
being a complete surprise to his friends.
The young fellows are making great
preparations for his return, judging
front the accumulation of old pans, etc;,
prepared for the occasion. A person
would be almost led to believe that a
charivari was to follow.
St. Marys,
The house of Mr, R. H. Dawson, was
entered by thieves ou Thursday moru-
ing of last week, and a silver watch,
chain and coat stolen from the kitchen
where they had been placed a short
time before. Mr, Dawson suspected
certain parties and followed them to
Stratford where the Perth fair was
being and notified the police, but
when they came to look up the sup-
posed culprits they were not to be
found. It is supposed they belong to a
set who are following up the fall fairs
—At noon on Friday last, a man nam-
ed Richard Nickels made an attempt to
drown himself in the mill pond below
Water street bride. The attention of
workmen at Seale & Hayes' marble
shop was attracted to the spot and the
man was rescued and taken to the
hotel where he had been staying. He
had not been long in the water and
was soon resuscitated. Nickels is
about 65 years of age and lived about
15 years ago in St Marys and owned
property here. He has resided mostly
in London township since that time
and peddled tinware round the country.
He had been drinking heavily of late
and it is thought that his mind may
have been affected by it. He was
committed to Stratford gaol by Mayor
Moserip and G. H. McIntyre, J P.,
where enquiry will be made as to his
condition.
Around About Us,
The torture of dyspepsia and sick
headache, the agonizing itching and
pain of salt rheum, are removed by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Kincardine: The stables of the
Queen's hotel, Kincardine, were con
sumed Wednesday night by fire, with
the contents, which included 11. horses,
some other animals and a number of
conveyances. Loss about $2,500; in-
surance, $350.
Aliso Craig: During one of the af-
ternoons of the Ailsa Craig Fair a short,
thickset tramp, who had infested that
village with his presence for a few
days, broke into Mr. Donald McLeod's
residence and stole a quantity of Mrs.
McLeod's wearing apparel.
Ashfield: In this Township yester
day about noon the barn and all the
season's crops, including hay, and most
of the implements belouging to Maurice
Wallace, were destroyed by fire. Loss
$1,200; partly insured. The fire was
caused by children playing with
matches.
Cromarty: Early on Saturday morn-
ing John Dunlop, who was a well to
do farmer residing ou the 11th concess-
ion, was found dead in his bed. Heart
disease is supposed to have been the
cause. Dunlop was over 70 years of
age, and leaves a wife, two sons and
two married daughters.
Mitchell: Much sickness prevails in
Mitchell at present, and it is attributed
to the filthy state of the River Thames.
The medical health officer has reported
that the water will even effect the milk
of cows that drink it. Actiou is being
taken to have the drainage front the
pork factory and the woollen mill
stopped.
Hensall: On Saturday night last a
sneak thief entered the store of Mr. Jas
Bonthron, Rodgerville's venerable post'
master, whi,e that gentleman was in
one of the outbuildings, and purloined
all the cash in the till, amounting to
about $2, besides a small quantity of
goods. Itis .hoped the rascal will be
found out and dealt with summarily.
Mitebell: A little son of Mr, Robert
Goforth,narrowly escaped instant death
on Saturday evening, A. number of
lads were out Title-shootiug and a ball
from one of the fire -arms passed
through the hat of the little fellow. His
escape was a close one, and should
prove as another warning to those who
are in the habit of carelessly handling
guns.
Wingham: Mr. Samuel 13. Swale, of
town, has six liens whose record for the
past six months is something remark-,
able. Five of them are White Leg
horns and one is a mongrel. During
the time mentioned theyAlayed seven
ty five dozen and two; or 902 eggs and
the mongrel ben hatched two broods of
ceorhickd, ens. Mr. Smile would like to
hear of anyone who can beat this re -
Brussels: Ot,e day last week George
Welsh, con 6, Grey, brought in 8' cords
of wood with his team. There week
some gueses made as to weight of loaa
and the market scales was left to de-
cide when it was found to be 6,500
pounds. Mr. Welsh lives 7 miles from
Brussels, and has hauled similar loads
day after day this Fall.
Parkhill: airs. Fitzgerald, of Lon
don, ha' purchasod'£rom Mr. Geo. Baw-
den, marble dealer, of this place, a.
beautiful Labrador granite monument,
and has had it put up over the graves
of her deceased relatives in. Mt. Carmel;
oemeter„v. This is the only monument
of the kind in any cemetery west of
London, and is greatly admired by all
who have seen it.
Mitchell: Some six weeks ago Jo-
seph Youngs who was formerly a resi-
dent of Mitchell,came over from Detroit
to visit his aunt, airs. Edward Archer.
He had not been in good health, but it
was thought the change would do hint
good. For a time he seemed, to be im-
proving and was out daily on his bicy-
cle for exercise About two weeks ago
however, a change for the worse set in,
and he grew gradually worse until Fri-
day when death took place. He was a
young man of excellent qualities, and
had a large circle of friends, who deep-
ly mourn his death.
Goderich: On Sunday evening a
horse, with buggy attached, belonging
to one of our livery stables, was found
wandering down East st., at an easy
gait—the buggy minus the occupants.
On investigation it was found that a
certain young man had engaged the
horse for the evening for the purpose
of showing a young lady around town.
Proceeding to Vietoria-st, cbureh, ho
went insists to await the appearance of
the young lady after service. The
horse evidently did not believe in Sun-
day driving, as in the meantime it took
French leave and fax a time made it-
self scarce, Imagine the surprise of the
young man on finding no horse 1a
sight. The drive was postponed tili
some future occasion,
Drysdale: What might have proved
a most serious accident occurred here
on Tuesday evening of this week. Mr.
Brisson and his son Edward were en-
gaged in drawing bay from his son's
farm to his home when the load began
to slip to the side. They accordingly
put a plank late the load on the light
side to keep the load from going' over.
Shortly afterwards the wagon took an-
other lurch upsetting thee load and
throwing Mr. Brisson from the plank
into the air. He fell on the gravel
road seriously bruising his body,$pr5111-
ing his wrist and cutting his face,
knocking him insensible. Dr, Buchan
an, of Zurich, was immediately called
and although Mr. Brisson was badly
shaken up, he is at present doing as
well as can be expected.
