Municipal Council at the Township Hall next Monday. To the Editor of Tau POST. THAT BARE BALL MATCR.—S1R,—If you will kindly allow mo a little space in your valuable journal, I will say a few words in reference to that match. I may say 5th liners stated that evening after the match, that they were all well satis- fied with the manner that the game was umpired. I do not intend to write any article that 1 am ashamed to put my name to. Fifth liner has done that 'right along. As soon, however, as 5th liner signs his name publicly then 1 am open for a discussion. I may any, however, judging from the tenor of the language he has been making use of I am left 10 believe that bis mental oalibre is some. what impaired. Again, there are only about 9 words of every 10 that aro truo. Ho says that the 6th liners were afraid to play them, and when the return match was to bo played between 5 and 6, 5th liners best man was called away. Why Simply because they were afraid to match them, and ono of the 5th liners told ono of the players from the 6th that they were afraid to play with the Oth line. I say it is a dirty cowardly piece of business to write article after article and always go under an assumed name. I may say I do not claim to know a great deal about base ball playing, bat if I was as far back in the shades of ignorance in knowing how to umpire a game of base ball aa 5th liner is in playing on the field, I would like to have a plane of conceal- ment to hide me from the gaze of an in- telligent people. I may also say that no person ever heard me say that I was a professional umpire or anything that would lead any person to imagine I was. Ido not make a practice of going through the country with a base ball suit on try. ing to make the public understand that I am in possessiom of something I was not, such is Stn liner's ease. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valnable apace, I am your &o., W. H. CL0AAEv. Wingham. Rev. Mr. MoQuarrie, Presbyterian minister, is away for his usual summer vacation.

The haat ltae been very intense here this week, the thermometer galloping around among the nineties. From o, reporter of the. New York Times—Who was an eye.witnoee of the greatest jubilee elaabration of Queen Yioterie that ever marred in the history of the world, in the town plot of Wing. ham. I write in haste to give a short and oondoused account of what took place on the memorable day. Very well, I was a guest at the Queen's hotel with. the Royal family. There ware oarri&igcs Of all descriptions ready for the groat procession. The one that I rode in was drawn by two beautiful mules answering in this hot climate much bettor than homes, Every oarriage seemed to be packed and filled with mon of great note. I would give names but in the bustle I was not made acquainted with them, but hope yet to be before returning to New York city, There were representatives from the following different countries :— Ireland, Scotland, England, the United States, Germany, etc., eto. The pro. cession started trona the Queen's build- ings a few minutes before 10 o'alook a.m. but did not all arrive at the Victoria 1 Square until after 3 o'olook p.m, (By the way I might mention driving along Victoria street our attention was drawn to one of the largest wholesale establish- mente in Ontario covering nearly half e,n aore of ground, dealing in ono commodity only, supply the C.P.R., one of the three railroads running into Wingham, with about 200 barrels of beautiful salt daily to keep the Northwest preserved and the O.P.R. employed.) I must return to the enbleet. As to numbers in attendance I could not say, judges think there were many thousands more or lees, besides the military and 0. strong body of polios which was quite unable to keep decent order, The old Colonel (11. Eadie) hon- ored the oacaaion by being there in uni- form, Queen's medal and all, with many other notable field officers. General William Mooney inspected the troops giving one of his patriotic speeches. Speaking of the bad order I do not blame the police, they done the beat they could, but I was very, verysorry th t one of the old respected oitizene of 1d W. P. and G., an officer in the nom iseionary department.for the day'wae n t .treated with morb respect.: I mean John Sadler who was on the ground with his horse and conveyance and not ashamed to place the old union jack high above hie horses head. The mass cheered and cheered so much that it was with great difficulty we got his horse and carriage through the dense crowd out upon Vic- toria street once more. I mentioned the two beautiful mules but did not mention the J.A. There was one more notorious J.A., who loved the union Jaok eo muoh that ho treed the old Jack, and got him down, tore him in pieces and gave a strip to each one of the J.A's to remember the Jubilee sham fight or the Sham Jubilee celebration in lower town. Cannot give you an account now of the games, euft9oe to say there being a scarcity of blank cartridge they went in for ball practice,' and as a substitute for sham fighting got up a few very nioe real side fights, wind- ing up the day with a beautiful dog fight. Being short of spade I cannot give you an account of the fire works at night, neither the Grand Ball at the American hotel. Yours truly, R. unit, Corres- pondent. Limo w owl. Work on the new Presbyterian Churoh will commence at once. It will be a fine building when completed. D. D.

Hay Bros. have one of the beat regu- lated roller mills in the Province.

The Wheelock engine is 80 horse power and rune the machinery with the greatest ease. The capacity of the mill ie 150 barrels per day. An "at home" was held in the spac- ious basement of the Methodist ohuroh last Tuesday evening. The room was tastefully arranged with carpets, parlor suites, mirrors, pictures, lace curtains,, dropee, &rc. A Bost and hoeteee presided over the gathering: An interesting pro- gram was provided.

THE BRUSSELS POST The exourelon to Goderioh on the 16th, over the G.i.R.,appears to snit every body as the burry will be well over. Tho eontimsed fine weather hos en- abled all to get well ahead wish harvest work. Tho grain is ripening fast so that harvest work will likely be finished a good dual earlier than usual. Last week as Thos, Davidson was working with hie self -binder hie band got °aught and before the horeee could bo stopped hie left wrist was pulled out of joint. He is carrying it in a sling, TheBirdBroa. have invested in a new Decker threehingmaohine, manufactured by the Macdonald Manuf. Co., of Kral - ford, They commenced opparations with it on Thursday at A. McN'Iichol's and it worked like a charm. Where there is a berry "patoh" crowds of people may be, seen there at times, but that is not the worst of it as boars have been aeon in most of the "patches." Just imagine the ugly black faro°ioue monster having perhaps too cross mho along. All, or nearly all, tho self-bindore bought from the different agents repre- senting the different companies are giv- ing the beet of satisfaction, It is a good thing that this is so, as the binder is one of the greatest labor saving maohines that ever name into the hands of the farmer.

He can put an empty oyster can or matoh box down, mount the ohioken on it, and the chicken will walk it withodt getting off. Then be can mount him on a stick, jerk the stick from under him, and the chicken will alight on his head. It will do many other tricks.. At Higgin's Lake, Mich, on Monday Mrs, Charles H. Pettit and her daughter, aged three years, were boating, when the child fell into the water. The mother in her fright upset the boat. An intelligent French pony swain out to them and when they had taken secure hold of its mane, struggled book to shore, a tired but heroin pony.

Ho °eine to America in 1886, and worked on various papers in New York and Cincinnati until 1878, when be went to California, and now lives at Healdsburg in that State in fairly good health. It is quite possible to be too enthusias- tic in the pursuit ofeoienoe. A watcher on the Rhine, Aerr Conrad Kroner, im- ported a few apooimens of potato bugs from America, and set them loose in his garden to observe their habits. They multiplied and overran the premises of his neighbors, who aro now suing him for the value of the crops destroyed. le was o brilliant stroke of enterprise of the same order that led to the peat of the Lrnglieh sparrow in America. The experience of the Umbria on her last trip waa a notable one. The tidal wave was fully fifty feet high, it ie assert- ed. Fortunately the officers of the ves sel saw it coming, and were prepared for it as well as any oraft could bo prepared for such a test of its strength. Yet the stout two-inch brass railings of the bridge were twisted as though they were made of macaroni, and heavy woodwork was instantly converted into splinters. That no lives were lost is marvellous. REMOVED ! Dan.
