OUR BDA.U7.`IFUL RECREATION GROUNDS This popular and picturesque sum- mer resort is fast becoming inhabited by pleasure seekers from' all quarters. Never was, the Grand Bend Park bet- ter equipped to welcome or entertain its many visitors than it the present time In addition to the many beauti- ful and convenient cottages erected by Mr. John ,8packrnan and others last Year and years previous, he has again ties year added many more, together with a commodious dining hall, which a is being canductea with Mr. A. Cornell, of Parkhila and who has proved him- self an affable and genial caterer, thus making it without a doubt a magnifi- cent place for young and old to spend a few weeks. a he breezy banks of this greed resort never looked so en- ticing as they do this year. The busi- ness man, the office clerk, and towns- people in general, who hava borne the turinoil connected with an indoor life for many months, should seek some place of recreation. It is easy to de- termine upon taking a summer outing; considerations of health as well as per sonal inclination cembined to prompt that decision; but it is not so easy to decide where to go. Available time and depth of purse are factors that as- sert themselves with authority, and it is with the intent to assist the deliber- ations of those who have many things to consider that we whisper a few facts into the ears of those who contenopla!e taking an outing. We talk from ex- perience-ahaving enjoyed many sea- sons under the old fashioned tent be- fore the vast improvements were made and we must say to those who iasver • availed themselves the extreme pleas- ure of sojourning on the banks of a body of water,such as Lake Huron, .with her salubrious and invigorating atmosphere standing side by side, in fusing, as it were, new life into a per. son. that they are missing one of the essentials of life, and to those who ,in- tend spending a short vacation we would say by all means spend it at the Bend and•we feel sure that you will be highly delighted. These grand privileg- es can be enjoyed by every person as the cost would be a mere bagatelle.

Toronto says the Atinexation Association, of which Prof. Goldwin Smith was president, has been dissolved and that the annexation sen- timent will have to wobble along to its death, unaided, save by possibly by an Elgin-Mvertspeech or a New York Suet editorial that may be copied into the Grit press of the Dominion. The fate of the Association is very sad, Posses- sing few friends at the outset, it hoped to make some. But even ything went the other way, somehow, A large share of the good Toronto proffessor's money has already gone in payment for the production in pamphlet forni of the speeches made by the leaders, Messrs. Myer and E A. Macdonald, or from the pen of Mr. Smith, and there is no sign of it harvest. And now the Pro- fessor is tired of providing all the funds for the keeping' of the association -so to tired, that he no longer makes it se- c,ret of it. Mr. T. M. White, formerly editor of the Windsor _Review, has been drawing a good salary as secretary of the association, but he is now out of a good job, as are also the few lesser lights who have been drawing pay. It is unlikely that the atmexationist organization will draw breath again. It's scheme has failed,and that dismally A Mira: farmer killed by a train.

Niagara Falls, Ont,, July 17.-(Spec- ial)-Snealc thieves did one of the bold- est and most clever pieces of work on the A 'erican side Friday evening' in broad daylight of modern criminal events. The jewellery store of T. V. Diekbason, in the Imperial hotel block, was entered between the hours of 6,30 and 7.20 in the evening and robbed of' a tray of diamond rings and other precious stones valued ot $3,208. The theft was not discoverod lentil nearly 9 o'clock, wheu the alarm was given. The police took the case, but the thieves had two hours start, and no trace of them could be tound Four of the rings were found on the street near the door. They had eyidently fallen off the tray in the thieves' burry to escape. Later -Nothing further has been gleaned concerning the dia- mond robbery. The value of the four rings found in the vestibule and on the sidewalk in front of the hotel Porter amounts to $600. Manitoba's Crop Prospect, Winn'peg, July 18. -The Molsons Bank, which, having opened business here, has become directly identified with Maniteba and the North-west, has just collected from correspondents at every leading point repoltateas to crop prospects. The reports are all of a most satisfactory character. Seldom in the experience of the oldest settlers have the prospects been as good at this period of the year, and the prediction is freely and confidently made that we are about to reap the largest crops in the hietory of the Pi:evince, the yield promising to rival that of the i)henomt nal crop of 1887. A gratifying feat ure of the report is that the quantity of stock is steadily on the increase, cattle and hogs especially. There is no doubt now of the season's crop. The growth is assured beyond preadvent- ure, and everything promises early and satisfactory maturity. Every day's experience is confirming the high hopes of the farmers and all who desire their prosperity. Death and Destruction by Lightning and Wind, t Alvinston, Ont., July 15. -Jas.

Frith, who is a. bee fancier of more than local reputatioraewns extracting some honey from one of the nixes, w hiI his daughter, Willa, was picaing berries in the garden near by. All the bees were on the wing, and more or lese angered, when one of them flew into the bearl's face, VVitla was fighting it with her hand, when her father called to her to run into the, house. In a moment the bee had stung her on the right temple, lear the eye, aucl Willa., terribly frightened and screaming, ran into the room. As she passed her mother slie said: -"Oh, ma, I'm stung, and I eannot live." These were the last words the poor child uttered. Throwing herself down on a sofa she was seized with convulsions, and in fifteen minutes was dead It was the opinion of the doctors that she died ftom the shock, Miss Frith was in her fifteenth year. 4, Succii'ssful New York, July 14. -Another chap- ter in the hiatory of that talented. swindler, Louis Howard Dassel, supt plementing the account of his recent, financial depredatiens an this city and previous operations in Boston, 00111611 from Theodore Blisarcl, of No. 81 Henry street, Brooklyn, who former.y. conduces ted the Boston flower store at No. 17 Beaver Hall hill, Montreal. According to Mr. Blisard, Howard-Dassel appeared in Montreal Lear the close of 1830 bringing with him a handsome wife ' and letters of introduction, in which he was styled "Captain" of the Harbor Survey. At his boarding house, a fash- ionable establishment ou St. Catherine street, Howard-Dassel's room was not sufficiently well furnished for hint, and hepurchased the most expensive ar- ticles, gold clocks, etc., but they were i never paid for. Visitors of the couple were sumptuously entertained at Hall. & Scott's restaurant, Other restaur- ants, bootmakers, jewellers, druggists, hair dressers, cigar stores and trades- men generally were well patronized for the beuedt of the captain and his frieeds, but no money ever passed to the creditors in these transactions. Dassel atteucled the, Anglican church regularly,borrowd $700. ,from a rev- erend canon, and various other per: sous, some of them poor clerks, con- tributed. to his prodigality in a variety of sums. Howard-Dassel and his wife dieplayed great taste in dressing and sported inany diamonds. A beautiful ring on the captain's hand he said was a present from the Prince of Wales. He declared he had an intimate ac- quaiiitatice with the Duke of Suther- land and the Grand Duke Constantin, and was highly indignant because hie new friends had not introduced him te tile Marquis of Lorne when the latter happened to be at Chambly. His statiouary bore a castle with. a lion. rampant, and the motto, "Hoe ma- jorum opus," Clergymen's wives were eonstant, visitors at the Howard-Dassel rooms. The couple went to tile coun- try clueing the dog days, taking a lux- urious house at St. Anne's for two months, where they visited the wealthy dined and wined the youngbloods and gave expensixe speeads. About din- ner time one day Howard Dassel en. terred his wife's room, where several guests were assembled, and said non- chalantly," l'a, ta, Louise. 1 arn aoing to drive down -town," His wire re- plied, "Good -by, love," kissed her hand„ and. the (salient captain effected his exit from Montreal. Ina few days his wife received a telegram from hint. wheo she burst into tears, gushed about his love and goodness -and fol- lowed him. No ono was ever able zo tell to what extent the swindler hade victimized the people of Montreal, as many of his heaedest creditors were aehamed to admit that they had b.e.e,s. hoodwinked. He duped shopkeepers, however, to the tune of $3,000 or $L0,- 000, and among his victims was Mr. Blisard. When Howard-Dassel was heard from in Boston, proeeeclings was set on feet to extradite him, but they failed, and the Montreal people let the matter drop. Mr. Blisard to whom he owed $25, called on him in Boston, and receiyed as balm a maga nese calcite jewellery safe, made by the company which IIoward-Dassel was then connectedAnother recent ;vie- im of HowarcLDassel is F.
