Sremoe, Clerk. PROII lltITION. To the Editor of THE POST. Slit,—I was pleased with your editorial on the matter of Prohibition and the coming vote thereon, but I must take ex- ception to one thing you stated in said ntteranoe. That is the matter of delay. I think theb aobion--energetic, earnest, united notion—should be taken without delisy ; and by your permiseiun I will suggest a plan of action. The Ontario Government has put the matter into the hands of the people. It is for them to say whether we shall have Prohibition or not, and with them reete the responsibil• sty of the outcome of the vote next January. Now we want and must have a Prohibition Organization for East Huron. My plan is thie. Let the churches and all the Ordsre of Tem- peranoe unite on this great question. And in order to do so let there be a Con- vention called at an early date, eay the 2nd Friday of September, at Brussels. A Convention for organization and die - mission in the afternoon and a public meeting at night. Let there be a minister and a layman from each oharoh in the riding ; two delegates from each Temperance organization, and one, at least, from every Sabbath school and Young Peoples' Society. If the above plan be carried out we will have a grand rally of all the Temperance forces in East Huron, and do our part to secure Prohibition in our country. Yours, R. PAUL, A. LETTER L'RO,/I THE "113f[ON9." To the Editor of Tun POST. DEAR Sirs,—Will you kindly allow me to oorreot a statement contained in the hist issue of your paper re the "Union" baseball club, in which you state that the "Unions" flanked 10 nob being present at the tournament in your town on August 6th after they bad agreed to come. I wish to say ab the start that the boys never agreed to go and the following will prove to you that I am correct :—On July 22nd I received a meeeage from a mem• her of the committee offering a purse of 330 for a garne. I replied saying the boys would go for $15 and expenses while there. We received no reply to this and were seem:teed to see 8110 "Uuione" ad. vertised to play without any agreement having first been arrived et, consequent. ly on Friday, Aug. 4th, I wrote you a card asking what the committee intended doing in the matter but received no reply from you either. On Saturday received another message from one of the com- mittee asking what the boys were going to do about coming out and again re. pasting their former offer or otherwise they would defray all their expeuees, to whish I replied as before eaying 315 and expenses while there was the only offer the boys would accept. To this we re- ceived no reply. Now this is a plain but truthful statement of how the affair was conducted and I will leave you and the public generally to decide who did the flunking. Yours very truly, JAMES Fox, Seo. "Union" B. B. 0. Novi BY Eexron.—Immediately after deoiding to have baeebali at our sports A. Conley wrote the "Unions" telling them of the 330 purse and inviting thein to compete. No reply Doming the com- mittee took it for granted that it was all right and got out the bills. Several Brueselites met members of the "'Helene" and learned from them that, although they didn't want to plliy without J. W. Sanderson and A. Paulin, they would be out, The Saturday before the games Mr. Fox's oard came to hand, the drat oommnnioation received, asking for 315 and expenses guaranteed. This was a new role for the champion "Unions" to enter when 330 was already offered for this match and our club properly refused to aocept shoat 310 ae their share of the prize. They said 380 or nothing. The "Unions" refused to play for this and consequently stayed at home. If there's a milder term than "flunked" that ex. preesee the same meaning we have no objection to it being used but it looks like a bank out. Brueeels baseball olub has not.pleyed a match for two years (the last one being at Wroxeter) and therefore did not expect to worry the "Unions" very badly. Late mail advices from England report the apple crop of the 'United Kingdom very presaging, the proepeot& forahadow• ing a very ntnob larger yield than has been experienced for some yeare past, with quality of fruit also superior. The Drop being in a much more forward con - clition than of late yeare, English aubhoritiee write bo the afoot that it is expooted to be marketed earlier than usual, and that supplies from Canada Will not have to compete with the great balk of theBnglieh yield.

H, Cob- blediok will preach a spacial esrmon to young mon. Rev. George Jowitt, of Warwiok, will presob in the Methodist church next Sun- day morning. A Harvest Home festival, for tbemem• bore, adherents, and Sabbath sohool of Knox oburoh, is being arranged to take place on Thursday, 24th inst, The regular quarterly service to the children was held last Sunday morning in St. John's church. Rev. Mr. Reilly took as his text "Little children keep yourselves from idols." John Straohan has been appointed Presbytery Elder of Knox church for the current year in room of Thomas btraohan, who, after many years of faithful and successful labors, desired to retire from the office. This week the Women's Auxiliary Missionary Association of St. John's church sent away two bales of clothing, &o., to Rev. D. D. McDonald, Thunder Child's Reserve, N. W. T., :for distribu- tion among the Indians of that locality. The anniversary services of the Metho. diet Sabbath school will be held on Sun- day, Sept. 3rd. The pastor will preach to the children at 10:30 and in the after- noon an open session of the sohool will be bald of which particulars will be given again. On Sabbath last, by arrangement, the members and adherents of Melville and Knox congregations worehipped together in the latter oburoh. Rev. D. Millar preached in tine forenoon and evening. After the evening service a union meet- ing of the Christian Endeavor Societies of the reepeotive churches was held, and proved very profitable to the members. These union services will be oontinned during the remaining Sabbaths of the current month. They are occasioned by the &beence of Rev. Mr. Ross, of Melville church, on holiday. AN EVANGELIST INJOEED.—The Paisley Advocate says ; Mise Williams, a lady evangelist, who commenced revival ser- viette in Glamis on Sunday night week had her labors rather abruptly. stopped. The opening service was held on Sunday night, and while returning to the home of Mr. Reid, where she was staying, she was knooked down and hurt by a team that was coming down the street at a rapid rate. She was carried into the home of Mr. Harrison and a doctor sum- moned. After examining her he found tl.tab she had received no serious injury, but that her nervous system had reoeived a severe shook. Her system had been run down through overwork and she was thus in a very unfit state to withstand illness. World's Fair. The Canadian litereetry Rutlding. The coolest corner I have been able to find in the White City is the forestry building. Close to the ceaseless lapping of the waves on the shore of Lake Michi- gan, in the extreme south-eastern part of the park, there is also a grateful breeze playing through its piney portals. Beautifully situated, it is one of the most unique and interesting buildings of the World's Fair, both for its style of architecture and the highly attractive exhibits it contains. Rustio in design and detail the forestry building is probably the most expensive of that particular kind ever erected in America. It cost 3100,001. The Bides are made of slabs with the bark removed. There is a wide verendab encircling the whole building, the columns of which supporting the roof, are all of varied tree trunks, • They are bunched in groups of three, one of which will be from 16 to 20 inches in diameter and the other two companions smaller. They are all 25 feet in height and neatly labeled. The dimensions of the building are 628 by 208 feet.. Iueide are all aorta of wood., both in rough and manufactured state from every clime ---plain, mountain, sea• shore, river.bottom, swamp and jungle, have all contributed to the display. The ' central exhibit in the building is a grand pyramid built of specimens of wood from all over the world. Verily it is a uni- versal congress of blooke. California's contribution, a cutting 14 feet in diameter of red wood, 475 years old when Colum- bus landed under the aoant shade of the palm trees at San Salvador, forms the base of the pyramid. Around and upon it are grouped ohing•ahang from Siam, bamboo from Japan, teakwood from India, birohwood from Ontario, and specimens from all other wearies, And there is a real, etre enough axe in a glees oase that figures as a sort of frontpieoe bo this wonderful wood•grouping in the central exhibit. It is Gladstone'e axe, the very axe the Grand Old Man used in nutting out the undergrowth at Hawn& den when in training to knock out Balis• bury in the political arena. Some of the specimens in the exhibits attraot epecial attention. There is a mammoth red wood plank 16 feet 5 inches wide ; 12 feet 9 inches long ; 5 inches think, cut from a California tree 35 feet in diameter and supposed to be 1500 years old. A beautiful carved door made of teakwood, from British India, le much admired, and a very large birch knot from Peterboro' county, Coterie, attracts no and of abtenbion. There are colleotiona of wood irotn 25 of the States repreeebtating numberless varieties of tenet growth, sixteen foreign nations and thirty one individual axial. tors, domestic and foreign, and among them the Preview Of Ontario makee a very creditable showing, and withal a very- practical one. The Ontario notion is on the main aisle south of the Dumjn• ion court, and o0oupiee a deer spade of 1,000 square feet, It is fronted by a handsome Corinthian archway oVer which is the sign, "Ontario" in large gold letters. The 'whole is surmounted by Canadian flags and emblems. The On. tarso exhibit tends to show the splendid forest resources of the province to a man- ner that arouses the greatest bntereet, es. peotaily among practical lumbermen, builders, wood anti easiest workers. There are 68 exhibits in the log and squared blooke oomprising all the vale - able woods, such as red pine, spruce, oak, ash, beech, maple, birch, eto., all neatly arranged and relieved at intervals with ample boards, beautifully polished. An attraotive feature is a ease of polished wood, speoimens sent by the Hon. A. S. hardy, Commissioner of Crown Lands, some thirty kinds being repreeented. A pyramid of blocks orna• mented with carved Indian hunting scenes from D. S. Hill, of the Six Nation In. diens, also attends mush attention. There are particularly fine specimens of black cherry and white pine. Geo. Harte, of Saltfieet, Ont., is the very etlioient and courteous superintend• ent of the seotion. Matthew Goetz, who is here to meet and interest German visitors to the exposition, is a valuable acquisition to the staff of the Ontario commission. The other 2,000 feet of space allotted to Canada is divided be- tween Quebec, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. The Dominion has a large collection of photographs of living trees, contributed by the geologioal survey museum, Otto., we. The photographs are shown in frames made of the wood represented in the picture. Chief Buchanan is said to have expressed the opinion that the ex. bibit of oo0Imercial timber made by On. tario is the best in the building. How. ever that may be as regards the fir woods, the birch, beech, cherry and other fine hard woods capable of brilliant polish, cense great admiration. No lees than 600 engoiriea by letter have already been received as the first fruits of this wonderful display of Can- adian woods. The value to the Domin- ion of this advertisemoot of its forest wealth will presently be appreciated at its true worth. PERSONAL POINTERS. Mies Edna Dennie is visiting at Har- riston.

THE SALVATION AWL'S LATEST 508511E Fon RAISING Moxzx.—The Salvation Army has hit upon a new idea for rais- ing funds. Last year, Commandant Booth inaugurated a plan for clearing poor corps and officers of debt, by in. stituting annual Harvest Festivals throughout the Dominion. This year the dates will be as follows :—Northweet and British Columbia, Aug. 26tb, 27th and 28th ; Ontario and Maritima Provin- ces, Sept. 2nd, 3rd and 4011. In Toronto there is to be a great Central Thanksgiv- ing Exhibition from Sept. 10th to the 15th, or the same dates on which the To- ronto Industrial Exhibition is being held. Great efforts are being made by the local officers and corps to canvass the town for contributions in kind of all deseriptione. Fruits, vegetables, grains, barley, oats, wheat and even straw for the Oirole Corps horses, all are solicited. A. special point is being made too, to secure con• tributione of live stook, wbiob will be sent forward to the Toronto Exhibition to be need in supplying the Social Institutions of the Army with meat: Last year, three thousand dollars ware netted in ibis way to assist the poor uorpe, and there is every proepeot of a far larger sum than that being raised on this ocoasion. The Toronto Exhibition promises to be a most attractive affair. Gifts of all kinds will be forwarded and tastefully exhibited there. The Salva- tionists of the far West propose to con- tribute wheat, cattle and canned goods ; whereas Newfoundland ie being asked to contribute tinned and dried fleh. Wood, oil and coal are alae solicited, and mann- faeturers are being asked to give some of their wares. Com. Booth hopes by this means to replenish the store housee of the Social Institutions and Homes for slots of6ears, so that it will be unnecessary to spend money on house- hold goods. Ilia contention is that while the dollars are scarce the land is over• flowing with good things, and he calla upon those who have enough to eat and to Spare to remember oat of their plenty their more unfortunate fellow creatures. 6 eueral NO\Yh7.

Harrison arose, lit a lamp and on going to the bed where the young lad was lying with hie elder brother saw that hie fade was covered with blood. On being washed off a small wound was found on the aide of late face near his hair. The house was searched for the oat but no trace of her could be found.
