Inspector of the Hamilton district Three young lads, aged 11, 10 and 12 years, took it into their heads that they would take a walk out to Stratford to see their friends there. They knew the way and started out along the track. They tramped along like Trojans and reached a point beyond Brunner, 18 miles from home and then their hearts failed thein. When the twilight came, memories of home overcame thein and they started bank. A farmer found out who they were and kept thorn over night, sending up word next morning when a rig was sent down and the wanderers brought home. i3l 'tit. The flax pulling 0000011 commenced in this section on Friday. Tt is an excellent crop. Some of our citizens intend taking in the Clinton civic holiday, Excursion to Detroit on Friday. During the heavy thunder storm which passed over this hamlet on Saturday evening last, the log barn on A. Sloan's farm, a short distance north of here, for- merly known as the Moore Boyd 501111, MID struck by lightning aid totally con- sumed with a. quantity of bay and im- plements. A number of out citizens with neighboring farmers worked hard keep. ing the devouring element front consum- ing the large frame barn which was only a few feet from oho doomed one. At one time they thought it was almost an int possibility as it had got quite a hold of it, but with their untiring energy they succeeded In saving it, Several of them stayed there all night keeping watch over it. !$'ftIten. Miss Louie Pollard, of London, 10 spending a short time with friends in this locality. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Reid, of Wawanosh, spent Sunday at Thos. Williamson's, 17th con. Grey. Haying is about ever. The farmers aro cutting their Fall wheat. The crops promise an abundant harvest. Rev. A. Malfibbin has taken work on a circuit near Coburg until college opens. He left the other day for the field of his labor. Andrew Morrison returned from Mani- toba on Saturday much pleased with hie trip and with what lie saw while in the West. Boyd Morrison, son of Matthew Mor- rison, and Albert, son of Andrew Morri- son, are spending their vacation at their homes. They are both teaching and are doing well in their profession. On Friday July 20th the infant child of Wm. Pierce, 14th eon. McKillop, died and was buried on Sunday in Brussels cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Pierce as her husband is away in Manitoba. Messrs. A. Morrison, Berry and Best arrived home from Manitoba on July 26th. They speak highly of the country. Mr. Morrison and Mr. Best bought II00 acres of land near Plum creek and will move out in the Spring. Alton Anderson, toucher No. 9, Morris, is apendiug his vacation in the harvest field with. !lir. Birk, of West Wawa- neeh.—D. Johnston, teacher of Tuokor• smith, is blistering his hands with the fork handle. Our dominies are not afraid of work whether in the school room or on the farm. The Methodist church has been paint- ed outside, the ceilings and walls kalsominod, a new fence Inas been built and new gates put on and the stalls of the horse shed levelled and gravelled, all this gives the place a neat and clean appearance and does credit to the enter- prise of the congregation. The hay orop of McKillop and Grey is first.olass and most of it has been housed without getting any rain.—The Fall wheat is considerably hurt with rust and as a consequence the grain will bo small and the straw not,eo good forfeed- ing, but it is a good average crop.— Spring orops are excellent where the land was not so low as to bo injured by the long continued rains in Jnne.--Tho root crop is good so far, considering the lateness of the :mason when the seed was sown. On the whole the outlook for the farmer is good and if no further draw. back odours and prices aro good they will have a successful year and 17oren:0a to grumble. On Sunday last wo had the pleasure of hearing Roy. Nm. Torrance, of Walton, preach from Deuteronomy 4111, 20 ;-- "Bub if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God thou :halt find Hite., if thou seek Him with all they 1101100, and with all thy soul," Ito pointed to rho drunkard, rho hook0lider, the murderer and blasphemer es example, showing that none 0011 get so far but the many of God eon reach them and save them if they aoelt Iiim with all their heart suet with all their soul, at the same time showing the terrible clanger there le lu delay for God says now is the 0aoepted time, today int the day of 5010521011. Ile showed the reas011 there are 60 many Pharisees in the churches to -day and pointed to God's ,judgment of the thumb - CB huroh.es of Asia because of their lukewarm nese, Itev. .Mr, Torrance is a very earnest, 'Went, clear and forcible speaker and there, is little danger of persona in the congregation sleeping while hs is preaching. We understand the Walton circuit was never in so prosperous a con- rliticn al at the pre,aut time. There aro four apprtutln gut; e, •', will, a large membership. -HE Mlle. On the lith hist., a garden party was given by the Mesdames, Williamson and Jackson on the beautiful Lawn of Thos. Williamson. The spread was all that could bo desired. After tea had been. served J. Moore WM called to the ohair, and filled the position efficiently. Short speeches were given by David Campbell, M. Morrison, Rev. W. Torrance and others ; tt recitation by Allis Swallow and readings by Daniel Johnston and 1tIiss Smillie ; a dialogue by Albert end J. B. Morrison and hisses Williamson and Torrance.

On Jaiy 24th Mrs. John Mills gave a garden party, A Largo number were present from different parts of MoIiillop, Mullet, Morris and Grey. Crogaot, swinging and other amusements were en- joyed until supper WW1 announced when all sat down to the richly laden tables so generously provided by Mrs. Mills. After the inner.man had been satisfied quite ark ex'ensfve program was rendered. Rev. W. Torrance °coupled the chair in his usual good humored style. Speeches were given by Mr. Watt, of IIavlook ; Reeve Britton, of IIullett ; Geo. Jackson, of Morris ; Mr. Brigham and Mr. Allen, of Mullett and Tice. Mr. Forrest, of Wal- ton. Several pieces of music by ladies and gentlemen chosen from the audience and a recitation by Miss Allie Swallow were splendidly rendered. Mrs. Mills feels thankful to all who tools part in helping her in her entertainment, which was pronounced by all present to be an unqualified success. Proceeds 524. The success of the garden parties will, I think, stimulate some others to follow suit. ?!limit:. Connoil meeting next Monday. Fall wheat harvest la at hand. The farmers are into the harvest but do not find it as good as they expected, Mrs. W..Burolr and children and Miss Gibson, of Chicago, are visiting at Jno, Mooney's. Donald Currin sold a three year old bull last week that brought down the scales ab 2050 pounds. Mrs. Joseph Smith arrived home from hor visit to relatives and friends in Mani. toba on Saturday of last week. The rains of Saturday and Sunday nights will do a great deal of good to the root crop throu ,b the country in general. The Harris farm was not disposed of at the sale last Saturday. Parties may negotiate for the purchase of it, how- ever, by applying to Messrs. Dickson Si Hays, Brussels. Wm. Sample is home from Manitoba. He is of the opinion that Huron County cannot bo beaten. A number of Morris. Res will be book next Fall. If the pathmasters would see that the stones, they are pleased to designate gravel, were properly broken the roads would be greatly improved. As it fa they are an abominable nuisance. Jas. Carter's house, on the 8th con., was struck with lightning on Saturday night but no damage of any account was, done only the carpet on the floor being burned a little. The inmates of the house escaped without any injury. At the recent Entrance Examinations at Wingham the following Morris pupils passed :—Walker Ard, No. 7, 415 marks; Jas.

NECK XX T110 Nooe11.—I1 the Hamilton Spectator we find an item of date, I3elena, Montana, July 27th, referring to a conviated murderer named George D. Bryson, formerly of Howick, Ont., and the appearance there of bis father David Bryson, still a resident of Howiolc. In the voters' list we fail to find such a name, but the will give a portion of the eorood :—"Georgo D. Bryson, the mn1. doter Who killed his paramour, Annie Sandstrom, here, in August, and whose body was found in a prospect ]tole on the side of a mountain in eight of Helena, will be hanged on Aug. 9, if logal efforts now put forth do not seen to a eommutal of his aent01na0 by the governor, oe his blonds, and if a ootorio of women fu Montana and in Minneapolis, where he mule lived, do not suc000d in gutting poison to bine by which ho can commit suioido. Several attempts have boon made to do 00 through various processes, but in each case warn thwarted. The aentimen1 is very marked against hint hero. There aro very few people who have eeprossod opinions that they slid not believe ho was guilty. The evidence was too strong, diroot and oenvineing. Ito was given a fair trial at Boni400, be. :fore an Impartial jury and a just judge, and the defense was eomluetod byean able ' lawyer, Who bas erica put 111 a largo share of his time in endeavoring to dis- cover new facts that will establish the evidence of his innocence. But it is the general opinion of the legal fraternity that it is 31 hopeless ease.

Mg. Mr. 13rynou aouid not believe that his son was guilty of rho awful °rime charged against him. He says George was always regarded as 0 good, dutiful child, and iudustrions boy up to the time when he loft home, which was at. the ago of eighten, and ho appeared to keep up that aharaoter to the time of his last visit home, which was in 1883. The old gentleman has created a favorable impression here, and is regarded as a thoroughly honest and upright man and deserving the respect and sympathy of the community." Perth County. A SOLD POLICEEAx.—Out in a certain part of Ellice the other night a rumour got currency to the effect that the boys intended eharivarfng a newly married couple. A worthy constable resident in the neighborhood determined to prevent any such demonstration. The night was dark and rainy, but he felt that duty de- manded !nim to be on the watch. IIe had been waiting quite a while when on his listening ear fell the sound of a bell, "Go -ling, go.lang," it rang out into the dark night and tossed by the gusty winds the sound gave little clam to its where- abouts. Ho fancied that this was a part of rho gang signalling to their comrades. and, grasping .lie (ethen stave, he eon). mane0 0 stealthy movement in the dir- ection the sound appeared to come from. As he drew nearer their broke out into the night a wind wail like unto that of a lest soul, but loud enough to have re- gntired the unity of at least a half-dozen voices to produce it, and as the sound died away rho splashing on the road in- dicated that the disturbers of the place wore off on the run, clanging their dismal bell as they ran. Tho policeman gave chase, and for upwards of 0 mile of splashing, dashing, slipping, sliding, now up, now down, soaked by the rain and buffeted by the wind, the slave of duty kept up the pursuit, till the party in front stopped again, evidently to hold a eon. sulcation. The policeman kept on ad- vancing more cautiously until a flash of lightning revealed to him standing in the middle of the road a mud -bespattered, terrified•looking cow wish a bell round her neck, who as the thunder °racked again gave another wild "m000" and dashed away into the darkness, the bell clanging as she went. The worthy gear. dian of the peace thereupon sneaked him homeward, feeling sorry that there was no one round to kink him. A boy wounded two men with a re- volver on the Lachine road, near Mont- real. The Masonic Grand Lodge will meet in Kingston next year. Oil bas been discovered almost in the centre of Vancouver Oity, B. 0.
