A CLOSE 041,. -On Sunday afternoon
last, during the severe thunder and rain
storm, the buildings on Dr. Scott's farm, at
Harpurhey, and which are oCcupied by Mr.
William Habkirk,.had a close call. Light-
ning struck the roof.of the kitchen near the
chimney, the fluid passing through the roof
and ceiling, leaving a hole tin each, and
seemed to exhaust itself when it reached
the floor, where it struck. It came down
close to where Mr. Habkirk was sitting, but
fortunately did not injure him. It also, at
the same time, struck the corner of the rod
of the driving house, which is about fifty
feet from the kitchen. Here it took a cor-
ner of the roof off, cutting in two three of
the rafters and passing down the side of the
blinding, entered the ground, tearing off
several boards in its course. The loft of the
building was filled- with bay, but, fortunate-
ly, it was not ignited, and no further dam-
age was done. Mr. Habkirk's imported
stallion, Crystal City,'" was also stabled in
this building. He was badly frightened,
but not in any way seriously injured. It
was, on the whole, a fortunate escape.

SAD NEWS. -Mrs. M. Robertson, of this
town, received a letter from her sons, in
Dakota, on Thursday, conveying the sad in-
telligence of the death of Mrs. john Robert-
son. Mrs. Robertson, it seems died on
Saturday last, of cancer. She left here
about two months ago to join her hesband
in Grand Rapids, Dakota. He had been
there for a year previously, and had re -
pared a home for his wife and family. I rs.
Robertson's maiden name was Mary Mc-
Phee. She was about 35 years of age, and
leaves a family of three small children.
When she left here she seemed be be in the
enjoyment of the beet, of health. The an-
nouncement of her death will be received
with feelings of the deepest scirrow by her
numerous friends here, and many will ex-
.
tend to her sadly bereeved husband the sin-
cerest sympathy. . \,

ACCIDENTS. -One day last week, as Mr.
Thomas NV: Adams, of the 3rd concession of
McKillop, was assisting at the raising of
Mr. James Mantosh's new barn, he fell
from the building, striking on the stone
wall underneath. His back was injured,,
and he was -otherwise so badly shaken up as
to be confined to bed for several days. He
is now, however, getting along nicely, and
is able to get around, and it is hoped he
svill be all right in a few days -Mr. John
Malone, of McKillop, near Beeciwood, was
in town on Tuesday with his head tied up,
the result of an accident. He was working
at a new building he was erecting, and,
while standieg on a platform about nine
feet from the ground, he over -balanced, and
fell headlong on a pile' of stones. His head
was severely cut and his neck somewhat in-
jured, but although still stiff and sore, he is
able to get about. Considering the position
in which he fell, the wonder is that he was
not more seriously hurt. -While driving a
spike in the new sidewalk on Goderich
street, on Monday last, Mr. James A.
Anderson struck his thumb the blow that
was _intended for the head of. the spike,
smashing and bruising the top so as to give
him a very painful thumb, but he was not
disabled from work.

CHANGE IN MAIL ROUTE. -Thi mail route
to Beeciiwood has' been changed. For many
yenrs, in fact ever since 'the establishment
of the Beechwood post -office, it has been
served with a semi-weekly mail from Sea -
forth. From this out, Beechwood will be
mail from Dublin, and ,will have a daily
service. The mail will leave 'Dublin each
day after the arrival of the one o'clock
train from the east, and go to Beechwood,
calling at St. Columban, and ereturn to
Dublin in time for the three o'clock train
east. This will give both St. Columban
and Beechwaod a daily mail service. Mr.
Jordan, merchant, of Dublin has the con-
tract for carrying the mail. All Matter
mailed at the Seaford: post office for either
of these offices will have to be mailed here
the night before so as to go by the morning
train east, in order to get there the same
day. The new arrangement will be a con--
venience to the people who are served by
these two offices,•but it would have been a
much greater convenience to them lad the
mail been despatched from Seaforth as
formerly, as most of the business of the
people in both localities is done in Seaforth,
while the distance is about, the same and
the cost would not have been much, if any,
greater. , However, the pewees decreed it
differently, and the people must only be
thankful for small favors. -

be laid at one dollar per squareyard. Out-
side the business centre and principal streets
three foot walks are sufficient to accommo-
date pedestrian traffic, and on the principal
residence streets five foot walks are of
ample width. The coat of a three foot
walk to each owner of a fifty foot lot would
be $17 and for a five foot walk it would be p
$118; It has been provided that the pa

d catch a few of the cool lake breezes
while some went to Bayfield with 'the Nam
object, and yet others went visiting to othe
points ; but by far the greater number sue
cumbed to the big sports here, or to th
heat, and stayed in town, while a numbe
from outside points were attracted here
witnesirthe games. It was Seaforth's day
and by night -fall we had two good, hones
and hard fought for victories to crow about
and after the heat of the day it was pleasan
to sit during the cool evening and discus
the merits of our lacrosse teams, and t
gloat over the victories of the day. Th
programme was started in the morning by
lacrosse matt& between, Stratford and th
Junior Beavers, in the championship series
of the Huron district. A good crowd gath
ered on the grounds to see the game, but i
was too much-Seaforth all the time to be
real exciting, although there was plenty o
good lacrosse played, and at the call of tim

Even if it was a lopeter, there was a bi

see the Athletics, of St. Catharines, and ou
own Beavers battle for supremacy, and fo
two good hours they fought, and fough
hard, giving us one of the \fastest games o
lacrosse that has been seein,here. The cam
bination of both teams was excellent, al
though the 'Beavers wete at most time
more effective than the St. Kit's boys, an
it was a case of the best. team winning
The play of the home team was pennan
winning, and showed that they never had
stronger team. There were no weak points
while the visitors were about on a par i
skill and form. A feature of the game was
the hard and close checking f both teams
From the face off, each te m was plain'
out to win, but the home boys scored th
first point. Their advantage was net fo

aware of the resuming of the game, the Ath

two more, but these were. °lib, to be fol

Beavers, which ended the scoring. Al
though the score stood 7 to 3 in favor of ou
boys, it hardly gives a fair indication of the
hard and persistent fighting of both teams
but demonatrates clearly the effectiveness
of the Beavers comhination. In the even
ing a promenade concert was held In the
recreation grounds, and, although the
weather again threatened, and - a slight
sprinkle of rain did fall, there was a good
crowd present. The programme, which con -
slated of bicycle races and a matched foot
race between Kyle, of Seaforth, and Tyn-
dall, of Tuckersmith, were close and excit-
ing, resultin,g as follows : Half -mile bicycle
race, -G. Bell, W. Papst ; two mile handi-
cap bicycle race, -G. Bell, E. Latimer, The
matched foot race was won by Kyle. There
was also a good musical programme provid-
ed, under the management of Mr. W. H.
Willis, Mayor Gunn acting as chairman.
During the day, the Exeter band, in the
absence of our own band at camp in Lon-
don, discoursed good music. It was a good
holiday, and there was plenty of amuse-
ment, so that those who stayed at home, as
well as those who went away, all had a
good time in ways to their liking.

die's grove. .For picnic purposes the day
was all that could be desired, the intense
heat rendering the cooling shade of the
leafy grove very acceptable. At these pic-
nics it has been the custom to go in for a
happy, joyous, free and easy time, and we
may safely say that this year was no excep-
tion. A bounteous tea was served about 6
o cloc , after which the youths' present, as
' k
well as some of their elders, proceeded to
eegege in a well contested game of football.
Dotibtless the next morning increased their
wisdom. Meanwhile the ladies' had their
game of baseball, and then all. retired to the
spaciouri dwelling house, where the enjoy-
ment- of the day was equalled, if not ex-
celled, by that derived from the literary and
musical entertainment provided. Mr. Adam
Dickson filled the chair in his usual happy
style, and a good programme of recitation3,
readings and music -vocal and instrumental
-was rendered. Miss Ewing, of Seaforth,
at the piano, greatly assisted in the musical
part of the programme, and the selections
which she so expressively rendered, greatly
del9ghted the audience. Mr. and Mrs.
-Murdie are deserving of thanks for the way
'in *hich they thra open their home for
the enjoyment of the young people.

NOTES. -Part of the villagers celebrated
Canada's birthday by attending the games
in Wroxeter, some by going to the Brown -
town picnic, and the rest by staying at
home. -The villagers were suddenly awak-
ened and badly scared several times last
Friday night, by boys driving home from
Wroxeter, who continuously yelled and
swore like maniacs. This is a very bad way
to celebrate Dominion Day. -The Presby-
terian. congregation are preparing to hold a
garden party en the grounds of Mr. Harry
Diamend, Bluevale_road, on Friday evening,
July 15th. The Brusaels brass band will be
there to play during the evening. Dr. Mc-
Donald, M. P, and Mr. S. Gracey, of Wing -
ham ; Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Wroxeter
and Rev. Mr. Ballantyne, of Molesworth,
will each have something to say to the as-
sembly. Cake and coffee will be served
from seven to half -past eight o'clock, while
ice-cream and other seasonable refreshments
will be available throughout the programme.
It is sure to be a success. -A Canadian -
American, who' is visiting in the village,
hung out the stars and stripes last Monday
morning, in honor of the 4th of July, the
national day of her adopted country. The
feelin against the foreign flag was pretty
hot al day, but was not audibly or visibly
expressed until evening, when stones were
thrown at the flag and fish hooks were used
to tear it. Before it was quite all gone the
fair American took tho remnant indoors.
Next day the poor rage of the stars and
stripes waved dejectedly from the tail of
one of the village pigs. Foreigners, while
on British territor3, ehould display . their
flags beneath the Union Jack. Not much
AngloeAmerican feeling here ; either all
Anglo or all American. -Mr. Edwin Bailey,

sufficient to oarry n our ,busine,ss. This would
mean starvation to other dealers who have to put up
