THE HURON EXPOSITOR
Gorrie.
BRIEFS. —The Rev. Mr. Wright left for
Brantford on the 25th. ult. He and his
esteemed wife will be greatly missed by the
people of Gorrie, of all denominations. We
emu their many friends in wishing them
success in their new field of labor.—The
excavation for the foundation of the new
Methodist Church here is almost completed
and the stone -work will soon be oommen-
ced.—Mesars. Walker & Wiggins' livery
stable is nearly finished and is one of the
beet buildings of its kind in the county.—
Mr. S. Ts Fennell has purchased the lot
adjacent to his other property and intends
terracing it Mr. Fennell admires the
beautiful, and will, no doubt, make his place
one of the most attractive in our village.—
Mr. S. S. Seaman, our ex -station agent, has
secured a situation in Farnham, Quebec.
Mr. Seamen is a good operator, and will
donbtless make heats of friends in the East,
as he did here. We congratulate him and
wish him continued prosperity —Mrs
Wright, of Woodstock, who has for some
time been the guest of her daughter, Mrs.
N. McLaughlin, of this village, left on Sat-
urday lest for her home.—Rev. Mr. Russell
occupied the Presbyterian Church pulpit in
Gorrie last Sabbath afternoon, and preached
one of the most interesting and logical ser-
mons ever preached from that pulpit. His
exortation, ending with a most pathetic ren-
dering of that beautiful hymn, "Almost
Persuaded," was one of the very best we
have ever heard. His remarks were based
upon, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian, (Acts 26-28). Among the pro-
bationers who have occupied this pulpit
since Rev. Mr. Muir left we think Rev. Mr.
Russell has had no superior as a preacher.—
Mi. Jarnes Young, wife and youngest son,
returned last week from their protracted
visit During their absence their property
was considerably injured and Mr. Young
felt, justly too, very much annoyed about
it Mr. Young is one of those men who
take great interest in beautifying their
premises by planting shade trees, building
ornamental fences, etc., and the wanton
destruction of those things naturally enough
irritates him. It is a great pity that there
is not better protection to property in our
neat, dean and attractive village. Better
enforcement of the laws in this respect
would be for the benefit of residents
financially and morally —Mrs Jno. Haskett,
of Lakelet, formerly of Gorrie, died on Tuesdey last at her residence in La,kelet—Our
village is now without a butcher.—The Rev.
Mr. Torrance, Methodiet minister, Gorrie,
resumed work on last Sabbath, officiating at
all the services (three) on that day. His
many friends were delighted at his recovery.
He attends the meeting of conference at
Gaelph this week.—Dr. Tuck has purchased
a "wheel," and is learning to ride it. It is
needless to say the doctor has not it all his
own way. He new realizes that there are
many ups and downii in this world of ours.
—The frequent showers have had a very
beneficia.1 effect on vegetation and things are
growing rapidly.—Mr. Alex. Smith is very
ill at present. We sincerely hope he will
soon be restored to health.
tired. In the race into the shed Mr. Mo
wen's buggy was run into and showed evi-
dences of the collision. '
—On Wednesday afternoon of last week
the pupill of the Donegal public echool, as
a fitting exprestion of their appreciation and
regard for their teacher, T. G. Ratcliffe,
who for the past seven years has faithfully
discharged his duties, presented him and his
bride each with a beautiful and costly
plush upholstered chair. Mr. Ratcliffe,
though taken by surplime, made a feeling
reply, in which he thanked them for their
valuable gift and words of kindness.
—A large number of very fine cattle were
turned over to the buyers in Clinton, on
Wednesday of last week. Mr. James Fair
sold 66 head that weighed 92,890 lbs., or an
average of 1,407 each. Quite a number of
really good cattle were also delivered by
farmers in the neighborhood, and among
them were three bulbs, owned respectively
by Messreei Mei Snell, Hullett , James Mc-
Farlane, Stanley, and T. O'Brien, Tucker -
smith, that weighed somewhere about three
tons.
—Mr. A. G. McDonald, of Wingham, tied
his horse to a poet in front of Hamilton's
drug store in town, on Saturday morning,
21st ult. There was a man up the post at -
the time fixing the wires, and when he start-
ed to descend the horse took fright and
levanted. A new sewing machine was fas-
tened in the wagon to which the horse was
attached, and the lower part of it was
smashed, also the wagon to a considerable
extent, before the horse pulled up.
—A certain farmer, who resides on the
Huron road, Goderich township; was boast-
ing the other day, and justly so, that he
had a very fine calf. In order that no
harm ehould befall it, he tied it on the
barn floor, and went about his busi-
ness. When he took a look at that
calf in the evening he felt so disgusted
that he hardly knew what to say. It had
kicked the boards of the floor loose, and
falling through, hung itself. The fainter is
now wondering whether it was suicide or
accidental death.
—On Sunday, 23rd ult,Jarnes Armstrong,
an old and respected resident of Howick
township, died at his residence on the 12th
concession, just north of Gorrie. The old
gentleman had almost reached his 80th year,
and always enjoyed robust health until late
in the winter, when he accidentally fell and
had one of his limbs broken. Since then be
has been a lettere sufferer, and owing to his
extreme age the wound did not heal and he
grew gradually weaker until his death,
which occurred at 2.30 p. m. on Sunday.
Deceased was born in Iceland, but came to
Canada in his youth, settlivg in Whitby
township, where he remained for many
years, and then moved to Howick. He was
an upright, honest man and a consistent
member of the English Church, attending
services in Gorrie, where his familiar, manly
form was well known.
—Captain George Raeburn, of the schoon-
er Cornet, well known in Goderich, very
nearly lost his life by drowning in the river,
opposite thetSarnia Waterworks on Monday
afternoon of last week. Captain Raeburn
and a miler named Isaac Houser, started in
a row boat from O'Gorman's wharf with a
load of tools and supplies from Stag Island
to fit the schooner out. Rowing out into
the current they waited for the first vessel
coming down the river to which they threw
a line for a tow. Seeing that the boat was
being drawn under the vessel's quarter, Cap-
tain Raeburn shouted to be cast off, but in-
stead the men on the vessel made fast, with
the result that the rowboat was drawn un-
der the vessel's side and upset. Both men
were encumbered with tea boots and heavy
clothing, and it was only ,by a desperate
struggle that they managed to get hold of
the overturned boat, and were rescued, but
not before they were almost exhaueted.
—Tneeday night, May 2nd, the grim mes-
senger death visited the home of Dougald
Strachan, Arcola, Assinniboia, Northwest
Territory, formerly of Brusseiletand beck-
oned the spirit of Mrs. Strachan away. The
,cause of her decease was consumption, with
which she has been affected for the past few
years. She was a daughter of Thomas His-
lop, formerly of Grey township, Ontario,
and was united in marriage to her now be-
reft partner about 8 years ago, residing in
Brussels for a number of years, where the
deceased by her kindly manner and social
qualities endeared herself to all who knew
her. In July, 1890, Mrs. Strachan went out
to Manitoba to visit her parents, with a
view of also benefitting her wasting health.
They have made their home there since.
Death had no terrors for the deceased and
she talked calmly e.nd joyously of the home
beyond. Mr. Strachan and three little
daughters are left to hold wife and mother
in roving remembrance. MiseLizzieStrach-
an left on Monday of last week for Arcola,
where she will make her home for a time in
caring for her motherless notices.
Huron Notes.
—Mr. Win.. Biter, of Clinton, bad the
misfortune the other day to be etruck on the
eyelid by a falling nail,causing inflammation
to set in.
—Mrs. Ed. Acheson, of Efolmesville, met
wit'n a painful accident one day recently.
She ran a needle into her hand, when it
broke, leaving part of it in her hand.
—A young son of Mr. George Bissett, of
Exeter, fell down a flight of stairs on Satur-
day of last week, and dislocated one of his
arms.
—Mr. Archie Downey, formerly of the
10th concession of Howick, but who has
been in Manitoba for the past three years,
died very suddenly on the 12th ult.
—Mr. Frank Davidson of the Model
Farm, 9th concession of Efowick, reports
that he has fall -wheat 25 inches long grow-
ing on his farm. This beats the record by
nearly two feet for this time of the year.
—One day last week, Mr. Thomas Ford, a
highly respected resident of Goderich town-
ship, was seized with a stroke of paralysis,
and has since been in a critical condition,
with but slight hopes for his ultimate recov-
ery.
—On- Saturday of last week, James,son of
J. S. S. Smith, of Brussels, bad one of the
fingers on his left hand crushed in a cog
wheel of the picking machine at the woolen
mill. The injured member was dressed and
the patient, is doing as well could be ex-
pected.
—Mr. Simon Mitchell, an employee at
the Union factory, Wingham, while operat-
ing a saw', met with a painful accident on
Monday morniug of last week. A piece of
wood he was shoving through flew back and
tore open the fleehy part of the thumb on
the inside.
—The following persons were last week
ticketed from Clinton to the points men-
tioned : Mrs. McIntyre and Miss Houston,
of Bayfield, for Virden, Manitoba : Mrs.
Dowzer for Winnipeg, and Meeers. W. Can-
telon and P. Cook, Clinton, who sailed on
Wednesday, per steamship Lake Ontario,
from Montreal for Liverpool.
—The other evening as a son of Mr.
James Laithwaite, Goderich township, was
driving into Clinton in a road cart, the
horse took fright at the electric light and
bolted to one side of the road, throwing him
out and running down street, the cart some-
times right side up and sometimes not. The
horse was, however, caught without its hav-
ing done much damage.
—On Friday, 20th ult., Mrs. D. Mc-
Ewen, of Stanley, had the misfortune to
lose a fine yearling colt, and to have another
badly cut. They somehow got entangled in
the barbed wire fence, which was round the
orchard. The yearling had one leg nearly
cut off and must have bled to death in a
short time. The other, though very much
cut, is likely to recover.
—One day last week Mr. George Arm-
strong, of the Thames Road, Usborne,lost a
valuable horse by a peculiar accident. A
young lad receatly from one of the pauper
homes was engeged harrowing a field. In
turning too shoat the harrows upset, and
felling against the horses they ran away.
Finally they got on to the road, and in their
mad race one of them by some means fell
on the up -turned barrows, killing it almost
instantly.
—On Saturday last as Mrs. Wm, Cook
and daughter, of Constance, were returning
from Seaforth, and when opposite the resi-
dence of Mr. Wm. Fowler, on the Huron
road, the horse took fright and ran away,
throwing the occupants out. Miss Cook re-
ceived a bad cut on the face; her mother,
however, was more fortunateets she escaped
bodily injury, but was confined to her bed
for a few days from the shock which her
nervous system received.
—Dr. Gillies and Clark H.Smith,bankers,
of Teeswe.tert have opened a bank in Brus-
sels, in the building formerly occupied by
Messrs. McIntosh & McTaggart. Andrew

installed as manager. The firm purpose
to loan money, cash farmers' sale notes, col-
lect notes and accounts, write insurance and
do a general banking businees, Mr. Smith
has had years ef experience in connection
with a chartered bank.
—On 'Wednesday of last week as WM.
White and wife, of the 2nd concession of
Creyewere on their way to Brussels the front
axle of their buggy broke, frightening their
horse and causing it to run away. The oc-
cupants of the rig were badly shaken up,
Mrs. White's back being injured, while Mr.
White, who attempted to hold on to the
lines, was dragged along the road and had
an ugly gash cut in his head. Ile went to
Brussels and had it sewed up. James Cutt
conveyed. Mrs.White back to her home. The
horse was caught in McEweri's hotel shed,
not much the worse, but the buggy was in -
the congregation with a debt, the payment
of which would be a eource of annoyance for
years to come. He closed by exhorting all,
young and old, as in the days of Selomon to
do what each could for tbe advancement of
the work. The congregation are fitting up a
building near the church to be used during
the erection of the new edifies.
—Mr. George Rook, owner of the saw
mill on the llth concession of Logan, sus-
tained serious injuriei about his face a few
days ago. He fell Rom the lumber traok,
which is about twelve feet high, breaking
his nose and cutting himself in other ways.
—The Mitchell Recorder says: The
Teachers' Convention, held at Stratford last
week, is not reported a emcees. The teach-
ers, as a general thing, take very little in-
terest in these Conventions, and the public
is pretty generally of, the opinion that the
time -would be more profitably spent in the
schools in regular school work.
—A brick cottage in Listowel, owned by
John Thompson, was totally destroyed by
fire about half -past .three o'clock Sunday
morning, together with the contents. The
occupants were away from home at the time
of the fire, and it is a mystery how it origin-
ated. The building was insured in the
Citizens for $500, which will not nearly
cover the lots.
—A painful and fatal accident occurred
at the Monkton saw mill, a few days ago.
It appears that James Watt, one of the em-
ployees, had occasion to climb upon the
table behind the edging saw. In so doing
the board on which he stood gave way,
throwing him upon the saw, which almost
severed his left leg at the knee joint. A
doctor was immediately summoned, but the
patient never recovered from the shook, and
after suffering excruciating agony he died
about five hourafter the accident. His
death was peculiarly sad on accout of the
suddenness and the absence of all his rela-
tives, who live in England. Deceased was
26 years of age, and was a prime favorite
with both old and young. The burial ser-
vice was conducted by the Independent Or-
der of Oddfellows, led by Rev. D. Rogers.

number have been taken at 6s. 3d, per stone of four-
teen pounds. At Wakefield there has been a good
demand for ehipments in excellent condition.
TORONTO. June let.—Cattle--As usual the chief
trade was done in cattle for export,• the bulk of the
offerings being of that class. Expert cattle, thoueh
not perhaps quotably lower, were much weaker in
tone, partly owing to weakness of tho trade in Eng-
land, but chiefly to the higher freight rates. A few
loads went as high as 51c -for extra fancy exporters,
but the highest quotable prioe WIMP 543 per pound.
The price range was from 4+1! to 41e for most of the
transaotions. Bukthers' cattle also were weaker.
Best atuff sold at no per pound, with an off lot going
up to 40, but no higher. There were sales as low as
21e. Stooken were in fair supply and sold as high
a410 per pound. From 32, to 40 was the range.
Transactions—One oar load of exporters, 1,350
pounds, average, 61,o per pound, 86 head, do.. 1,350,
5o ; 24 do., 1150, 84.90 per ow; 15 do.'1,600, 4ic
per pound; 21, 1,300, 6e ; 20, 1,260, 4143; 20, 1,360,
4/e. Eleven car loads were taken by one dealer at
04.90 per cwt. Sheep and lambs—In export sheep
there was nothing done. Butchers' sheep are not
being much bothered with at present. Yearlings
sold fairly well at unchanged last week's prices.
Spring lambs offered better, between 40 and 50 head
being on sale. The majority of *ales were made at
froin $4 to 86 each. These are wanted. Hogs—Heavy
receipts and a weak market. _One v holesale dealer
quoted the highest price for good straight fat hogs
at 5o per pound, weighed off cars, but the general
range is put at from 34.50 to $4.75, the latter being
a fair quotation for the best. Prospects for the
general trade are not encouraging.
BUFFALO, June lst.—Cattle—Nothing doing in this
department.' The fresh arrivals were all consigned
through. Sheep and lambs—Hardly enough on sale
to -day te make the market; a deck of choice heavy
wethers sold at $6,20 to 86.25; good 82 pound sheep.
$6.85, and light hunched lots of 79 pounds, $5.26 ;
spring lambs were not in as good inquiry and wore
easier in tone: good 62 pound lambs, $8.25. Hogs—
Most of the hogs sold at $5 to 85.05; a few Yorkers
and packere brought 85.10; quite a number of liFht
weights eold at $4.90, 35, $5.021 and 85.05; page,
straight sold at $4.80 to 84.90; roughs, $4 to $4.50;
stags, 83 to $3.60.

ket shows a slight advance. The transactions ag-

British Grain Trade.
LONDON, May 30.—The Mark Lane Ex-
prese, in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: English wheats are, 6d
lower, Sales are moderate at the decline.
The stocks of wheat and flour in Great Bri-
tain are computed at 2,700,000 quarters.
The American supply is estimated at 2,826,-
000 quarters. A year ago the stocke here
amounted to 1,431,000 quarters of English
wheat and flour and 2,287,000 quarters of
America,n. The difference between this year
and last is the roct of the present weakness.
The prices of foreign wheat have also drop-
ped 6d. California is readily taken at 36s.
Corn is firm. Prices at Liverpool have risen
ld per cental. Berle§ and oats are 3d lower.
At to -day's market English and foreign
wheats were -6d lower, and met with poor
sale at the reduction. Oats were depressed
under enormous arrivals. Barley, beans,
peas and rye were steady.
Demoralization of the Cattle
Trade.
MONTREAL, May 31.—The Britieh cattle
markets are apparently getting worse in,
stead of improving, all the cables to -day be-
ing of the most discouraging character. One
lot of American cattle, which were sent
across at a 25s freight, lost 101 a head in
London, which looks rather blue for the
Brazilian's cargo 'Of Canadians which are
about due there. Another cable quotes Can-
adians at 6d in Liverpool and Ad to 50 in
London, with the restrictions still in eorce
in London. And still another cablelfrom
Liverpool says "Canadians, 5d; eee no
prospects for an advance until suppliee
minish ; bulls selling badly." These cables
are authentic and give a fair idea of i how
things are going acroes the water. All drafts
on the Oxenholme's cattle have been refused.
She carried 434 head, shipped by five or six
shippers. One salesman is said to have re-
futed to receive it consignment at all, owing
to the state of the market. In fact things
have come to such passehat the shippers,
from the smelled to the largest, aro becom-
ing thoroughly frightened, and are caloulat-
ing just how long they can stand the strain.
Some shippers are complaining about the
poor class of cattle now coming' forward, but
are unable to say whether date is owipg to
the fact that the good cattle are all out or
that the farmers are holding off. When the
fact is considered that 16,110 head of cattle
_went forward .up to Saturday, while only
17,000 head were shipped during the 'entire
month of May, 1891, and that the distillery
cattle are still in the country it would ap-
pear that the first theory is the correat one.
It is said that the owners of distillery cattle
intend holding them till the middle of July,
but I think a substantial improvement dur-
ing the next week or so would go a long way
towards changing their minds in this respect.
Of course these remarks about poor cattle
do net refer to the cattle which have already
arrived on the other side. They Were of
extra good quality, and when they did not
make money none of us still. There is little
or no change in the local markets. Shippers
are still bringing odd lots to fill splice, but
no transactions of importance are reported.
Tbe price now ruling is 4tc to 5c.
The projected rise in freight rates from 56
to 103 has created quite a stir in cattle-ship-
ing circles and without a doubt will put a
stop to a great deal of cattle being pent to
England. The cattle ehippers present
are in eequandary as to whether they shall
keep their cattle here and place them in
pasture or whether they shall ship them now
and lose a considerable anaount of money by
so doing. The way the principal cattle
shipper is now fixed is very serious. His
space is engaged and hsmust fill it and con-
sequently he is purchasing any cattle he can
get for the same purpose, although he knows
that at present freight rates there is no
money in it for him. In the fresh meat
markets there is no improvement, every-
thing being in good condition, and the same
as last week. Liverpool cables quote 5td as
being the highest price for Canadian cattle,
there being no prospect of an advance until
the supply is diminished. Cables are coming
to hand daily asking shipper's to reduce
draughts, and things have got to such a state
that some salesmen on the other side have
refused to handle Canadian cattle. The
Americans are determined to take advantage
of the Chicago freights and have started in
to buy heavily in Chicago, which means that
our Canadian shippers will have a large Am-
erican supply of cattle to compete against.
The Irish cattle are being held back in an-
ticipation of better markets, so that if there
is an improvement we will get very little
benefit from it. Locally there is no change.
CYCLES.—The Comet Cycle Company of
Toronto have appointed Mr. W. R. Counter, of this
town, as their agent for Seaforth and vicinity for
their celebrated Comet -Bicycles, the reputation
which these wheels have attained elsewhere should
enable Mr. Counter to do a good trade in them dur-
ing the season. W. R. COUNTER, Seaforth. - 1274.
MAB,BLE WORKS, Seaforth.—J. W. Ne-
ville has purchased the Marble Works of the late
David Grant, and intends to carry on the business in
all ite branches. Cemetery and building stone work
a specialty. Parties wishing anything in this line
will do well to call on me, as m) prices will be as re-
sonable as good work and material will allow. J. W.

cattle was rather dull, and prices were lower, more
especially for milkmen's strippers, of which there
were a good many on the market. The best butchers'

A BIG FAILURE
Our May Sale has been a Big
Failure. We made the greatest pre
-
partitions we ever made for any sale,
and expected tbe greatest rush. But
the rush did not come, and the goods
are left on our hands.
Rain, rain, rain, and cold weather
nearly all the month, was the cause.
There was no need for Nice Fine
Shoes in such weather. People could
not wear them if they had them. So
our immense stocks of FINE $110ES
-still on our shelves.
have got to make up for it in
June. We have got to not only do
the ordinary June trade, but to make
up the shortage on our May sales.
We were the losers, but you can.
now be the winners. The nature of
our business requires a certain turn-
over every month.
During the month of June, it will
be a matter of getting money, not
making money.
Please to take notice, therefore, that
we will continue the sale through
June, and that the goods have got to
go. We make it a rule to avoid
carrying.goods over from one season
to another. It will take special efforts
to carry this out this season. But if
the greatest -bargains ever given will
accomplish it, we will succeed.
Do you want fine BOOTS AND
SHOES, HATS OR CAPS, GRO-
CERIES, CHINA OR GLASS-
WARE, TRUNKS OR VALISES.
Come and see us. We promise you
the best variety ti,nd lowest prices we
have ever given you.
