Biddulph 8.1‘, P A TR ION'S 0111TKCJI Probably the most successful picnic ever held in Conn ee t ion with St. Pat- riek's chur ch, was that cif Monday last (D)minion Day.) The weather was extremely warm, but it did not seem to have kept many away, the grounds being crowded. It was held as usual on Mr. Thos. Dicken's grove, Lot. 10, Con. 4. The management was unable to procure strawberries for the occasion, owing to a scarcity of that delicious fruit, and while it was somewhat of a disappointment, the wants of the large crowd was amply supplied by the ladies in a choice and abaudan t spread of edibles. The usual program of sports was carried out, consisting of running, jumping, etc. etc., together with a choice program consisting of addresses, recitations, singink, etc. Addresses were deliver- ed by Rev. Stout, and Mr. C. C. Hod- gins both of which proved very- in- teresting and were listened to with rapt attention. The singing by Me. M. Vincent, of Exeter, was of a high order and brought forth roars of ap- lause. The recitations by Miss Paulin Stanley, of Lucan, were exceedingly clever renditidns and the singing by Miss Cassett was well received. The affair throughout was a most enjoy- able one and the committee in eharge deserve praise in bringing it to such a successful issue. • Devin DEATII or Wm. MARTIN. —Another of the oldest residents of the neighbor- hood has answered the final roll call, in the person of Mr. William Mtutin, who passed suddenly and peacefully to his long hone On Wednesday even- ing last. The -deceased had been in de- clining health for some years, but his condition ;vas not such that he was compelled to take his bed or even con- fined to the honse. He passed the day as usual, making no complaints whatever. In the evening he had oc- casion to go out to the stable, and on returning to the house fell prostrate to the floor and succumed quietly and ahnost imperceptibly to the dread des- troyer, heart failure being the imme- diate cause. Born in Devonshire, England, Nov. 26, 1810, he came to this country about 48 years ago, with his wife, who survives him. Settling inparlington he remained there for two years after which he moved to Exeter, remaining here a similar per- iod. He then went to Devon and has liVed in that neighborhood ever since. He died at the age of 81,years 7 months. He' was of rather a reserved disposi: tionatiad unobtrusive but was kind hearteerand true and highly respected as a friend and neighbor. He is sur- vived only by, his sorrowing widow, who hasethe sympathy of all. „His re- mains were interred in the Exeter cemetery on Frida,y. . Crediton J. G. STANBURY, B.

The day was 011 e of the hottest of the season, bat notwith- standing; this there was a big crowd present from the sarrounding district and neighboring towns. An ample supply of strawberries had been secur- ed for the occasion; which fact could not be said of similar affairs advertised under the same heading there being a great difficulty in getting this delici- ous fruit owing to the crop being a fail- ure in this section. The usual pro- gram of sports, consisting of foot races, bicycle races, dog races, etc., took place. During the afternoon speeches were made by the new pas- tor, Rev. Hutton and Rev. Salton, the retiring minister, both of which were listened to with marked attention and appreciation. The proceeds of the day amounted -to $120. Around About US Hayfield: It is our sad duty to re- cord the sad death by drowning of J. Nornitin McGee, the 10 -year-old son of John McGee, Hayfield Line, Goderich township. On Friday last he was on his way home from school, in company with his brother and another small boy, when he decided to have a bath in the atter. Like himself, both of the other boys were unable to swim, so when he went in and beyond his depth, they could do nothing to save him, and when help came it' wes too late. However, he was taken to the house of James Thompson, and' Drs. Stanbury, Woods and Fenster 'Were at once summoned; they used every available means to restore him but found that life was quite extinct. The accident has cost a gloom over the. whole community, and heartfelt sym- pathy for the bereft and heartbroken parents was shown by the very large number who attended the faneral, which proceeded to the Hayfield ceme- tery on Smiday afternoon. ' Goderich: Mr. James Mitchell, edit or of the Goderich Star, and a native- bornLondoner, was in Guelph on Tues- day, stopping for a few hours with his brother-in-law, Mr. Harry Bolton, of the Montreal Bank staff. Mr. Mitch- ell was on his way to Toronto, and was stopped there by a telegram an- nouncing the serious illness of his mother at Windsor. He took the train for the west, but had little hopes that he would reach his mother's bed- side in time to see her alive, as the telegram hinted she would only last a few hours. Trouble has been coming in battalions to Mr. Mitchell this year. In March last,the faithful messenger, Death, came and robbed him of his devoted life companion. Then his fifteen -year-old SOD, a bright, engaging lad, took ill. The boy's grandmother went from Windser to Goderich to nurse him, and tender and assiduous were her ministrations to the sick child. But 'all in vain. He passed away a couple of weeks ago, and the brokenhearted grandmother went back home suffering, from a cold, which it now appears has devel- oped into a fatal illness. Mr. Mitchell will assuredly havethe siucere sym- pathy of his friends in a series of af- flictions which seem ahnost too heavy to bear. Mitchell: The town was thrown in- to a state of great excitement Friday morning on learning that John Titer, an old resident of the neighborhood, had committed suicide. Since his wfie's death, which occurred some 19 years ago, his mind had been slightly affect- ed, rend he more than once expressed himself that he was afraid he would be teMpted to take his own life. For the past two months he had lived with his daughter, Mrs. John Etty, iO the North VVard, from whom he received. every care ancl attention. Friday night he retired early, and next morn- ing he was StippOSed to be still in bed, when his lifeless ,botly was accidently noLiced by Miss Etty hanging by a rope from a beam in the stable. The Mann was given and the yormg sato- man'e father quickly eut it down, but death must have taken place some time before, as the body was cold. Deceased came to Fullerton forty- three year's ago, and themigh herd work accumulated considerable means. 'He wars an upright man, and, as fax as we know, without en enemy. He seemed to brood over his money, and had boon vory despondent of late. On his body was found $117.85; it his trunk over $800, and he had in the bank 8 $$117, itesides Owning a farm in Follarton woeth $6,500. His remains VC l' in trrred in the Methodist con -re - tory on Sunday, and his funeral was the largest seen in town for a long ti me. Deceased leaves four sons. INSTANTLY KILLED Paris, Ont.

He was terribly mangled, both legs and one arm being torn off, his head crushed and his body badly crushed. No one saw the accident, but he was found after the train hacl passed. He was an old man and almost deaf, DROWNING ACCIDENT. Markdale, June 20.—A sad accident occurred here this Morning.
