shape of a few games of croquet on the
lawn adjoining the Mamie. There was more
to ruffie the Ministerial temper here. Af-
terwards the Association left this for some-
thing even more material within the walls
of the Manse._
—A fat heifer, which had been purchased
by Mr., D. Stewart, of Wingham, and
brought into that town on Saturday last,
broke its leg while walking over the cross-
ing at the north side of the town, while be-
ing driven towards the weigh -scales. Why
the limb should be broken there is a mys-
tery. The bone was no doubt previously
broken without being. misplaced. It was a
apiendicl looking- animal, and as white as
snow.
- —Prior to his leaving School Section No.
ID Goderich township, Mr. Harnwell, the
teacher, was presented with a writing desk,
an album and a cuff case by the pupils of
the school. These handsome presents were
accompanied by a neatly worded and coin-
plimentary address, expressing the regret
felt by the pupils and the people of the
section at his departure from their midst.
— On Wednesday of last week, as Mr.
James Stephenson, Goshen Line, Stanley,
was returning home from Seaforth,his horses
took fright and became unmanageable and
in attempting to stop them one of the lines
broke, which rendered the driver helpless,
bat Mr. Stephenson succeeded in bringing
them to it standstill before they had done
any damage, thereby averting what might
have proved a,very serious accident.
—For the three months ending June 14th
there were 71 convictions made by the
county magistrates; 17 of these were by
Goderich magistrates; 13 by Seaforth; 13
by Clinton, 7 by Brussels, 9 by Manches-
ter and the rest scattered over the county.
There were 9 violations of License Act, the
fines for which amounted to $210; there
was one fine also of $100 imposed for illicit
distilling, the fines collected over the sums
mentioned amounted to $71.50.
—One day last week a two year old
daughter of Mr. Samuel Cornish, jr., of
Usborne, while playing with the water in a
wash tub, fell in, and narrowly escaped
drowning. Mr. Edward Small, a blind man,
was the rescuer. While passing he heard
splashing in the water, and speaking to the
child it did not answer. He at once went to
the tab, and lifting the little girl out, found
that life was almost extinct Placing her
on her face slie vomited, and was with dif-
ficult* resuscitated.
—The corner stones of the new Methodist.
church at Gorrie were laid on Friday, Ally
It. The first stone was laid by Mrs. Car-
son, the next by ex -County Master W. H.
Clegg on behalf of the Orangemen and the
two remaining stones by Messrs. D. Harris,
for the Orangehill congregation, and James
Leech for the Gorrie congregation. A boun-
tiful dinner was provided by the ladies in
the driving !lied grounds, of which fully 500
persons partook. The total sum raised for
the building fund at this ceremony was $600.
—The following appeared in the daily
papers on Wednesday: "Alexander Rosen -
burg and Mrs. Clara Wilson, of Zarich,bave
been smelted at Port Huron on complaint of
Roseriburg's wife. The couple arrested had
eloped from Zurich, and Mrs. Rosenburg
followed her husband. Both elopers had
left families behind them at Zurich.
—On Monday evening of last week, as
Mr. 3. Robb, of Tuckersmith, accompanied
by his sinter, was driving home from Clin-
ton, the hors e got frightened by the refiec-
tion of same water, and before it could be
controlled had shied off the road, turning
the top buggy upside down in the ditch. Mr.
C. Avery happened along at the moment
and helped to straighten -up the rig, which
hiai turned as exec* upside down as pos-
sible. Miss Robb was quite severely shaken
up and felt pretty sore. Mr. Robb was un-
hurt. The buggy was smashed somewhat.
—Mrs. Strath Jamieson, who was eight
years a missionary in Formosa, lectured on
mission work in that island in the Presby-
terian church, Gorrie, on Monday evening
of last week, to a large audience. She gave
a great amount of information and her labor
will, we believe, not be in vain. Her won-
derful earnestness was remarked by all. The
fact that Mrs. Jamieson is engaged all over
the country in this work, though in poor
health, without remuneraticm, receiving
only from the collections her travelling ex-
penses, shows that he has the work at
heart.

Marie, Michigan • Which was the property
of Mr. J. J. Michigan,
a former Stratford

Mr. Kehoe's office was in the building and
all its contents were destroyed.
—Rev. Professor A. B. Baird, of Mani-
toba College, Winnipeg, is _visiting his rela-
tives in St Marys and vicinity. Mr. Baird
occupied the pulpit in the First Presbyterian
Church, St. Marys, on Sunday evening, 3rd
inst., and preached an excellent sermon.
—The Trowbridge correspondent of the
Beacon says: Rev. T. W. Naomi paid a
flying visit to his parents and took away
with him two of his sisters, Misses Emma
and Maud, to start up house keeping in the
parsonage at Bellwood.
—The firm of Weir Brothers, flax -millers, -
St. Marys, has become insolvent. The in-
ferior quality, of the fax product of lest
year, coupled with the effects of the McKin-
ley tariff, has had a depressing influence on
the Canadian fax trade generally, and con-
tributed, no doubt, in bringing about the
financial embarrassment in which the Weir
Brothers have been placed.
—Mr. Holmwood, formerly proprietor of
the Albion Hotel, Stratford, who went to
Chicago some months ago to reside perman-
ently, has returned to Stratford. The clim-
ate there did not agree with him, and it
was a choice between life and death, his
physicians said, whether he returned to
Canada or stayed in Chicago.
—The other day while Mr. George Kort,
mail osrriet between Atwood and Mitchell,
was on the return trip from Mitchell, he un-
dertook to pass a rig on the road, when his
horse became frightened and jumped into
the ditch, upsetting the rig and dragging
Mr. Kort a considerable distance along the
road. Beyond a few brusies and scratches
he was not hurt.
—On Sunday, July 3rd, Rev. J. Ball,the
new pastor for Fullerton circuit, preached
anniversary sermons in connection with the
Methodist Church, morning and evening.
The weather being very unfavorable the con-
gregations were not as large as could have
been desired; however, those who attended
were favorably impressed.
—The second annual convention of the
county of PerthUnion of Young People's
Societies of Christian Endeavor was held at
Avonbank on Dominion Day, with about
500 members in attendance representing
twenty different societies. Rev. Mr. Ham-
ilton,' of Motherwell, presided, and Miss
Mowat acted as Secretary. •
—Daniel A. Robertson, an old and highly
respected citizen of St. Marys, died on
Tuesday morning, last week. Mr. Robert-
son settled in St. Marys in the fifties, and
held many positions of public honor and
trust in the town, being mayor of the town,
school trustee, etc. For many years he was
a leading spirit among the curlers, being a
great enthusiast in this sport.
—Miss Annie Hordin, of McGillivray,
was driving along the second concession of
that township, the other day, when her
horse,became frightened and plunged over
Boyce's bridge, some sixteen feet, into the
water, carrying buggy and driver with it.
Singular to relate, none were seriously in-
jured by the fall. The water where they
took the plunge being four feet deep was the
means, no doubt, of saving their lives. ,
—Sarnia had at the Orange -celebration
the largeat crowd that has ever been inside
its limits. There were probably 10,000
visitors and of these half were members of
Orangelodges in regalia. The procession
formed on the Market Square at 2 ,q'clook,
and headed by the grand marshal and prom-
inent visitors and ladies' lodges in carriages,
marched to Bay View Park. In the pro-
cession were over 100 lodges representing

Elgin, with the Indian distriots of .Muncey
and Adelaide, besides various points in
Michigan.

maid and Miss L. Kischel as second, while
Mr. 3. Biehn, of Toronto, and Mr. George
Kalbfleisch performed the duties of best

The Importance of a Few Votes.
Sandford Fleming, the distinguished Can-
adian engineer, in a recent "Appeal to the
Canadian Institute on the Rectification of
Parliament," points out the momentuous re-
sults that may flow from the change of a few
votes in a political contest. Taking the
Provincial elections in Quebec in March last
as a case in point, it is found that the
ties stand as follows:
Conservative mrbers 64
Liberais 17
Independents 2
An examination of all the majorities
shows that it would have been possible for
804 electors, distributed over 20 constituen-
cies, by reversing their votes, to have made
the returns as follows:
Liberals 37
Conservatives 34
Independents
If in 32 constituencies 200 Conservative
electors had changed their votes, the returns
would have stood as follows :
Liberals 49
Conservatives 22
Independents 2

with a neighbor's family in their cellar.
Later reports say that Mr. Nevins and Mr.
Crawford, further west, have lost every-
thing but the clothing they wore. Mr.
Nevins has lost four horses and a steam
thresher. The houses were found in a
neighbot wheat field, and nothing was left
about th plaoe but the boiler belongingto
the thresher, Nevin.- and family saved
their lives by taking refuge in an under-
ground milkhouse. No lives so far are
reported lost. Hail is said to have done
damage to the crops in the vicinity, and
nearly all the windows facing east here have
been broken.
On such slight contingencies, says Mr.
Fleming, as the change of a few votes under
this system the government of a province
has been completely revolutionized. Mr.
Fleming's illustrations afford food for much
thought. They confirm the view that
honest people have always entertained re-
garding the unfairness of the partizan com-
pilation of the Dominion voters' lista. A
few men in close constituencies are virtually
placed in a position to make and unmake
Parliament.

News Notes. -
—The Montreal subscriptions to the fund
for the relief of St. John's, Newfoundlind,
already amount to $20,000.
—In the House of Representatives at Wash-
ington yesterday the Free Silver bill, which
passed the Senate, was shelved.
—The Toronto City Counoil at its' meet-
ing yesterday by unanimous resolution ap-
propriated $5,000 to the St. John's relief
fund, and authorized the Mayor to appeal
for donations of money, food, and clothing.
—Mr. H. C. Frick, chairman of the Car-
negie Company, in whose works the recent
disastrous riots took place, stated to the
Congressional Investigation Committee that
the new scale the company desired to intro-
duoe affected only 325 out of the entire 3,800
men employed by the firm.
—Senator Boulton, who intends shortly
addressing the electors of Marquette on
free trade on British lines, Is not likely to
run for Parliament for that constituency, as
he would be bitterly opposed by the Con-
servatives.
—At present Canadian horses cen be
taken into the United States free of duty
for racing or show purposes, on a bond be-
ing given that the horses would be re-
turned to Caned& within six months. It
appears that he law has not been com-
plied with, and that many Canadian horses
which get into the States by this means free
of •duty are sold without paying any duty.
This having come to the knowledge of the
United States Secretary of the Treasury,
he has ordered that a bond for the return
of the horses be exacted in every instance
in future.
—One of the oldest Methodist ministers
in Canada died a few days ego in South
London, in the person of Rev. Thomas Cos-
ford. Deceased had been in the Methodist
ministry 52 years, 46 years of which have
been nested in active serytee. Born in Eng-
land on June 15, 1813, he had been spared
to attain the ripe age of 79, and he leaves
behind him a record of half a century's
faithful labor in the Master's vineyard. He
was one of the pioneer preachers and his
work in the early days often eatailed a
journey of many miles through the finest.
Mr. Cosford had occupied many important
appointments in the Methodist body, among
them the superintendency of the institute
at Mancey for six years. He was superan-
nuated six years ago.
— Mr. Otto Klotz, a prominent citizen of
Preston, died on Wednesday of last week in
his 75th year. Mr. Klotz had been a resident
of Preston since 1837 and filled many public
offices of trust in his place of residence..
Among the Masonic fraternity Mr. Klotz
was a prominent men. He joined the order
in 1846, and in 1885, after 21 consecutive
years as chairman of the Committee on
Benevolence, the Grand Lodge conferred
upon him the highest honor by electing him
a Past Grand Master and presenting him
with a Grand Master's regalia. In 1881 he
retired from business and afterwards lived
upon his income, enjoying that repose and
comfort which is the just reward of honest
industry. In religion he was a Lutheran.
His family consisted of our soninand two
daughters.
— The Canadian rifle team, now in Eng-
land to compete at the National Rifle As-
sociation's annual matches at Bisley, shot
two team matches Saturday and won both.

Cambridge town scoring 825 to 888 made by
the Canadians. The second was 10 men a
side, a team from the Third Suffolk volun-
teers scoring -505 to 557 made by the visitors
from the Dominion. On Sunday the
Canadian riflemen visited the beautiful
cathedral of Ely on the invitation of his
lordship the bishop, Rt. Rev. Lord Alwyne
C6iiipton, D.D., who preached an eloquent
sermon, tonohing on patriotism and extol-
ling Canada for her loyalty. His lordship
Bald he trusted the Empire would ever
be united and that Canada would con-
tinue to be one of her staunchest bulwarks.
Manitoba Crops.
The last CroP Bulletin, issued by the
Manitoba Government, gives encouraging
reports. Regarding wheat the bulletin says:
"The crop promises to be of the best. The
cold weather during part of June has
thrown it from a week to ten days behind
last year, but it is now doing well, sad
farmers are jubilant over the prospect of a
good crop. Oats and barley are doing well,
and there is every indication of the heaviest
crop in years. The root crop will Ito poor.
Live stock is in excellent condition on ac-
oount of the abundance of good grasses.
Since the above was furnished there has
been a very severe wind,- rain and hail
storm, whieh has done considerable damage
in meny parts. The principal districts to
suffer were the Brandon, Carberryand Doug-
las sections. The storm took place on Sunday
evening last. A Douglass despatch says:
A cyclone running in a south-easterly direc-
tion passed here yesterday. When first
noticed by our villagers a furious thunder-
storm was raging to the north. The sky
was clear in the west, when suddenly a huge
black cloud, which overhung the western
horizon, burst and fell to the ground in the
shape of a cone covering the ground with
the same hue Of blackness as the clouds
above. Shortly after word reached here
that the house and stables of J. Boles were
blown down. About seven o'clock some of
the villagers drove out to Boles' place and
found -that where his house stood nothing
was left bat the cellar. Not a board of any
kind could be found. His house was a
heavy log structure, and the logs wore scat-
tered in every direction, some of them a
quarter mile distant. - Machinery and
wagons were smashed to atoms, and furni-
ture and clothing were found in his neigh-
bor's field. Luckily he was not at home at
the time. He and his family were on their
way from Sunday school and took refuge

In Hot Weather.
It is not necessary _to go to Europe, or
even to the mountains or the seashore in or-
der to be tolerably well and happy. Go to
one or all of these if you can and want to,
for they can give you a healthful change,
but if you cannot, do not fret your health
and spirits away because you cannot
Use a little mind cure to begin, resolving
that you will stay cool in your head what-
ever happens, then proceed to make your-
self comfortable in the midst of your every-
day work.
First, give as little thought to the discom-
fort of the heat as potsible. So shall you
become superior to it. Keep jolly, cheer-
ful. Then look after your food, surround-
ings and habits. In cold weather we re-
quire food both to keep up our strength and
animal heat. In hot weather we have al-
ready more heat than we want, therefore
drop down about half in the amount of food.
Eat fruits of all kinds, and rice and bread,
with the lighter vegetables. Drink lemon.
sde and buttermilk. The agreeable and hy-
gienic qualities of buttermilk are not half
understood. Shun all drinks containing
that fire spirit; alcohol.
Get all the fresh air you can; wear light,
thin clothing, change it often and take a
bath every day. It is the fellows who wear
heavy clothing, not often changing it, who
guzzle beer and whisky and never take a
bath, that die of sun -stroke.
The Economy of' the Egyptians.
A curious illustration of the domestic
economy of the Egyptians has beim met with
in the unwinding of the bandages of the
mummies. Although whole webs of fine
cloth have been most frequently used, in
other cases the bandages are fragmentary,
and have seams, darns and patches. Old
napkins are used, old skirts, pieces of some-
thing that may have been a shirt; and once
a piece of cloth was found with an armhole
in it, with seam and gusset and band finely
stiched by hands long since crumbled and
their dust blown to the four winds.

A Watch -Maker.
This epitaph is said to be a faithful copy
from a tombstone in the cemetery of
Llwadlwfvrdl. Such a name as this could
come from nowhere but Wales, and the won-
der is how the people who. were obliged
daily to pronounce such names ever found
time to do anything else.
The epitaph was on a watchmaker, and
was certainly ingenious. Whether he com-
posed it himself, or it was done for him by
a brother watch -maker, is not told: "Here
lies, in a horizontal position, the outside
case of George Rutleigh, watchmaker,
whose abilities in that line were an honor to
his profession. Integrity was the main-
spring and prudence the regulator of all the
actions of his life. Humane, honest and in-
dustrious, his hands never stopped until he
had relieved distresses. He had the art of
disposing of his time in such a way that he
never went wrong, except when set going by
persons who did not know his key, and even
then was easily set right_again.
He departed this life_ on December 4th,
1811, wound up in the hope of being , taken
in hand by. his Maker, thoroughly cleaned,

Liviamou, July 11.—Receipts of Canadian and
UnitedStates cattle hbavy, home and other supplies,
light. Finest Canadian steers, 12 to 1210 ; choice,
111 to 120 ; poor to medium, 104. to 11e; inferior and
bulls, 8 to 10c. The supply of sheep is heavy. Best
sheep sold at 113c ; secondary, 11 to 12c; Merinoes,
103 to 111e ; inferior and rams, 8 to 9/c. These prices
are calculated atE4 80 to the L.
LONDON, July 11.—We have it fair supply both of
American and home cattle on our markets to -day,
but trade is dull. Everybody is out of town, either
taking holidays or engaged in the business of elec-
tioneering, and this exodus greatly affects the de-
mand. The best imported steers are selling at from
6d th (31a1 per pound, estimated dead weight; the
latter quotation is an exceptional price. The outlook
is not encouraging.
MONTREAL, July 12.—Trade VMS unusually dull to-
day, as inost of the butchers still have considerable
supplies held over from last week, and prices 'were
lnwer all round. s There were scarcely any really
prime beeves on the market to -day, and, with one ex-
ception,,4/o per pound was the top of the market.
Good large fat cows sold at about 4e per pound ; oxen
at from 31 to 4e per pound ; common dry cows not
half fatted sold at about 3c per pound. Some of the
leaner beasts at not much over 2/e per pound. There
were several small -sized hard looking bull e with large
heads and horns offered here to -day, and, though far
from being fat, their owners think it best to sell them
now as they are not likely to improve much in flesh
while prowling around the country in hot weather.
The best calves were bought up before reaching the
market and common veals brought rather better
prices than on Thursday. Prices of calves were from
$2 60 to 88 each. Mutton critters are rather dull, as
the shippers seldom pay over 33c per pound. Lambs
sell at from 82 to 84 each. Fat hogs are very dull of
sale to -day, and one drover said that the best offer he
got to -day was 41.3 per pound, while another buyer
had the cheek to offer only 41e per pound. Fat hogs
in New York are now selling at from 85.90 to 86.25
per cwt, yet some people are verdant enough to
imagine that the N.—P. protects the Canadian farmer.
BUFFALO, July 12.—Good, heavy export steers were
16 to 25c per cwt better than last Monday; good
stockers and choice feeders sold well ; common
grades dull ; stockers, $2.26 to $5 : bulls in fair de-
mand for export at 82.76 to 83.25; 80 cars milch cows
and springers on sale ; good to extra cows with calf
sold at 840 to 946 ; late springers, $25 to 842 ; veals
steady, fancy at $6.26 to 86.40. Sheep and lambs—
Market with a good demand for good sheep, which
were scarce and prices stronger; lambs of good
quality about steady, but common dull and lower,
a large proportion of the offerings being hulk; best
sheep brought 95.25 to 95.75, and common to fair at
84.26 to 95; best lambs $6.75 to 87.36 ; a few very
choice fat lots at $760 ; all were sold and market
closed strong. Hogs—Good to choice Yorkers
brought 95,90 to 86.96 ; light to good Yorkers, $5.80
th 95.85; good to medium, 95.95 to 86 ; a few faneg,
heavy, $6.06 to 86.10. Pigs were about steady at
85.65 to $6.76. About all were aold.

A BIG FAIII RE
Our May Sale has been a Big
Failure. We made the greatest pre-
parations we ever made for any sale,
- and expected the 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;...11'10ES
still on our shelves.
We have got to make up for it in
June. We have got to not only do
the ordinary June trade, butto 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 and lowest prices we
have ever given you.
