THE AUTUMN" ASSEMBLY. —On Wednesday evening the annual autumn assembly was held in Cardno's Hall, when about 60 couples, comprising a large portion of the youth and beauty of the town and neighbor- hood danced to the enlivening etrains of the Harpers' String Band, of London. As usual the assembly was a decided success in every way, and all who attended it spent a most enjoyable evening. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.—Tte Huron County Union of Christian Endeav Societies held its second annual conventi in the Carmel Presbyterian church, sell, on Friday last. There was a good - tendance, and the deepest interest w. manifested throughout. New officers were appointed for the incoming year, -and ad- dresses and papers were given by Rev. G. H. Cobblediok, of Brussels,' Miss Stewart, of Godericb, Miss Elder, of Seaforth, Rev. Mr. Kerrin, of Bayfield, Rev. J. W. Hol- mes, of Clinton, and Rev. J. H. Larkiia, of Chatham. Good singing was provided by Miss Hotham, of Staffa, and, the Goderioh and Hensall choirs. We will give a full re- port of the proceedings next week. SALVATION' ARMY JUBILEE. —To -morrow, Sunday and Monday the Seaforth Salvation Army corps will hold a special "big time." To -morrow and Sunday there will be great revival meetinge, led by Ensign Archibald, of London. On Mouday there will be a muster of the troops of the neighborhood, and a grand banquet in Cardno's hall, and in the eveniug jubilee in the barracks. All the neighboring officers will be present, as well as some others. The Salvation Army here, as elsewhere, is doing a grand work, and we hope our people will show their ap- preciation of their efforts by extending to them on thie occasion a liberal helping hand. Army work, aa well as every good move- ment, cannot he prosecuted without money, and, although the Army gets along with as little as most organizations, we have no doubt but th.e more liberal the pecuniary aid extended to them the greater the amount of good they can accomplish. • FIRE. —The. terrible fire alarm whistle at Broadfoot's \awakened the citizens from their comfortable slumbers about one o'clock Tueeday morning. It was soon discovered that the rear part of theolfsidence of Mr. J. W, Snell, clothes dyer, just adjoining the residence of Mr. Thomas Kidd, was on fire. When first discovered the back kitchen wee in a blaze, but the firemen were promptly an hand after the alarm was given, and a couple of powerful streame soon drenched the fire out. The roof of the kitchen and the interior of the building were somewhat damaged, but the main portion of the house was not injured except by water. The building belongs to Mr. Thomas _Kidd, and both owner and tenant are well insured. The fire is supposed to have orighaated from the stove -pipe. The,firemen, as usual, did theig duty splendidly, and their pronipti- tudt, together with the efficiency of our waterworks system, has again saved the town from conaiderable loss, if not a serious conflagration. Mr. Snell wishes us to say that he etill occupies the house and will continue to do so until he can get a more suitable one. HURONITEs IN CHINA . —Rev. Dr. McKay, the celebrated Chinese mistrionary, in a letter from Formosa, China, previous to leaving that place on a visit to Canada, makes the following reference to a lady and gentleman well known in this county. Mrs. Geoid is a daughter of Mr . Robert Mollie of Kippen. In explainbag the arrangements he had made for the carrying on of the work clurieg his absence, Dr. McKay says : " Mr. Gauld will rneke his first attempt at public preaching in Chinese next Sabbath, at Pat- li-hun. Don't forget, though, that it will be only the beginning, and he who would become proficient in the language must con- tinue the study thereof more than one year. Study it, indeed, throughout one's mission- ary career. Mr. Gattld will visit the peo- ple and preach as he is able, see that all mission property is kept in repair, provide preachers, etc., with necessary papers and periodicals, administer baptism and the Lord's Supper as occasion arises, and, in a word, with the three natives, watch over and prosecute the work, as arranged. This I em sure he will do well ent, true, as he Inas shown himself earneet and true among us, Mre. Gauld has her hands full with the new arrival, the interesting little boy. I consider rihe is doing her duty (as she has done all along) in her own sphere, and with her own quiet, earneet and sensible manner, her influence will be far greater than if at- tempting the imposeible. ' Du. Mendoe Owe-eon—The regular thank - offering meeting bf the Seaforth Auxtliary of the Wamen's Foreign Mission Society, was held in the Presbyterian church on Monday evening last, The meeting was largely attended,there being present a good- ly number of ladies from Seaforth and other congregations who are notenembers of the Auxiliary. The thankoffering amounted to $40, this being considered a very satisfac tory sum, being in excess of any previous year. The meeting was also attended by Miss Marion Oliver, D. D., a medical mis- sionary from Indere, India, who is at prise- ent in this country on furlough. Miss Oli- ver ie a pleasant and accomplished speaker, and far about an hour and a half dwelt u-pon ber work in that far off land. Her address was most interesting, and will, no doubt, inspire those who heard it with renewed en- thusiasm and zeal for the work of the In- dian Mission. Miss Oliver is a native of the county of Perth, her family residing at Avonton, in the township of Downie, a few miles from Stratford. She is a graduate, if we miettike not, of Queen's College, King- ston. About six and a half years ago she went to India as a medical missionary,being sent there by the Foreign Mission Commit- tee of tho Presbyterian church. Her work has been principally amoug the women and children and her labors have been crowned with great succeis. In attending to the physicel ailments of the natives, she, in this way, gained admission to their homes, and thus was afforded opportunities of ad- ministering to them spiritually. In, order to give an idea of the immense labor under- taken by this and other Christian lady mire sionaries, we may state that a hundred pa- tients in a single morning at the Mission dispensary was no unoommon occurrence, while the Mission hospital was always full. Dr. Oliver will spend a year in Ontario, re- cuperating, at the expiration of which time she hopes to return to the work in Tuella, to which ehe has devoted her life. DEATH, OF MRS. LENNON'. —On Saturday evening last, th community was shocked to hear of the sad nd sudden death of Mrs. Lennon,/ wife Mr. James Lennon, Huron Road, McKill p. She expired without a struggle or a ;moment's warning, although she had alway'e been hale and hearty, in fact, never vs s known to be a day sick, and nevereexpres ed a single complaint. She had been to eaforth attending the Critholic church, of ,hioh ehe was a devoted member, and upon tuir return home spent the even- ing conversing with her husband and family until about 10 p. m., when, in the rid of preparing to retire she fell to the floor and expired. The family physician was immedi- ately sent for and pronounced the cause to be - heart failure. Mrs. Lennon, was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in the year 1839 and emigrated to this country ' with her father and mother at the age of fifteen years, and settled in Streetev.ille, near Toronto, where they lived for some time, but afterwards came to Iriehtowr, where she has ever since lived. She was a woman, kind hearted, though unassuming in manner, a good and true wife, and a loving and charitable mother. Her husband and family, are greatly afflicted by her sudden death. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning last and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friend% over 100 vehicles be- ing in the procession. The remains were taken to Seaforth Roman Catholic church, where grand High Mass was celebrated., and from there to Iriehtown cemetery for Inter- ment. Mrs. Lennon leaves behind her a husband and family, or:insisting of five 'boys and five girls, to mourn the. loss of a good wife and loving mother. Her life was an example meet to be followed and her memory will long be cherished in the hearts •of those who had the pleasure of her acquain- tance.

He is an unusually able platform speaker. The strongly worded eoinmendations of the press fall short of describing his marvellous power. He fairly takes his audience by storm. Not one person in .Seaforth. should miss hearing him on Wednesday' and13T47hulre day evenings next, • _ ANOTHER PIONEER DEPARTs. —Mrs. Rob- ert Hawthorne departed this life on Satur- day last, at the residence of her son, Mr. Peter Hawthorne, town -line Hallett, having reached the unusual age of nearly eighty- nine years. . Mrs. Ilawthorne's maiden name wise Helen McGill. She was a native of Scotland, and with her huabrind and young fismily came to the new land some- thing over forty years ago. They settled on the farm in Hullett on which they con- tinued to reside for the remainder of eheir days, and by industry and perseverance they overcame the difficulties of pioneer life sn that they were enabled to enjoy the evening of life in ease and oomfort. She had been a remarkably strong, healthy wo- man, and enjoyed full possession of all her faculties until nearly the last, and her death could not be ascribed to any particular die - ease, but to a gradual wearing out of a once rugged constitution. She was noted for her kindness of heart and obliging disposition, and was not only respected but beloved by all who knew her. In the early days ehe was ever ready to attend at the sick bed of a neighbor, and her cheerful smile and en- couraging words, together with her deft at tentions, were often mote potent for good than doctor's prescriptiOns. Her husband died a few years ago. - She had a large family and they are all 'grown up and re- spected, and they will lonek cherish in the ;sincerest affection the menvity of a good and loving mother. The remains were interred in the Maitlandbank cemetery on Tuesday, and a large number attended the funeral to testify their respect for herifor whom in life, themselves or their parents cherished feel ings stronger ,than mere friendshiP. Thus it is that one by one the old and honore pioneers are leaving us, and soon there wil be none of the original stock left. EG MON D VILLE NOTES. —Rev. M.P.

The first day was not so favorable, but nicer show weath- er than that of Friday could not be desired, On Thursday evening the building was bra: liantly illuminated by four large -electric lights, and a large crowd of townspeople turned out to see the sights and have a chat with friends. In the afternoon, also, there was perhaps more fun than at any other time during the show. The weather was raw and cold, but the odd races and other sports cruised the spectators so much merri- ment that they laughed therneelves warm. The entertainment consisted of an old men's race ; a farmer's trotting race, and a trot- ting race,by horees of 1,500 pounds and ' up- wards ; a rutnning race by horses owned by farmers, and to be ridden by -the owners. The show in the hall was very fair. Of course theree wares noticeable shortage in fruit and the same in roots. This, however, is the case at all the shews this year. The ladies' depaetment was highly represented, and there was a large display of lovely plants and flowers. The fine arts display also was much better than is usually seen at a local showl There were not so many speci- al exhibits by the business men of the toWn as there should be. These serve greatly to add to the attractions of the show. On the outside, the show of horses was not so large as is usually the ease here, although there were many excellent animals and but few of the classes were unrepresented. There was, - probably, the largest and beat show of cattle ever seen here. In sheep, pip and poultry there were also very creditable exhibite. The vehicles and implements were also good. The attendance was very satiefactory, the gate receipts footing up to -between five and six hundred dollen, besides a large list of members. The honor roll will be found on the 7th page of this issue. Tuckersmith. WEST END `NOTES. --44r. Thomas Fowler hae returned from an -extended visit to Oregon, Britieh Columbi and the North- west.

CARD. 1346-3 THAT LOAD OF FLAX. —SIR.—I notioed an item in THE EXPOSITOR from an occasion- al correspondent in regard to the flax draw- ing. Now, in the first place your corres- pondent does not tell the whole truth, as the load drawn by Mr. Palmer weighed nearly seven tons, or over a ton more than the load mentioned by ydur correspondent, and it did not take two teams to draw it either. The load that Messrs. Peaet and Brintnell erew was made up of two loads. They had another team to draw a load to within two miles of the town and there loaded most of this load on their load. Mr. Palmer got his load the same way,so there was no differ- ence in the way the loads' were made up. This is a plain statement of the facts, Now, boys, if any person asks you if you oan draw flax, have no hesitation in saying no, and when you get defeated at your own game take your medicine like men and try to stick to the truth in future.—ON LOOKER.
