PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—MiSS Shrew, dress-
maker, of this town, had a very exciting
and painful experience recently. She was
visiting at Mr. Bates' in Bayfield, and had
just gotten into the buggy to drive to
church with Mr. Bates, when the horse
reared up,. and before Mr. Bates could get
hold of it, the animal started around the
orchard at a lively gait, with Mimi Shaw in
the buggy, and finally jumped over a high
wire fence. Here Miss Shaw was thrown
out underethe horse's feet, and was picked
up unconsdious. She was badly cut about
the face tiad neck by the limbs of the trees„
and the doctor found it necessary to put in
several Stitches in dressing the wounds.
Although her wounds are painful; she is
thankful she escaped as well as she did, as
the. wonder is she was not fatally injured.

tGXONDVILLE NOTES.—We would kindly
suggest to the boys who gather on our
school ground to play lacrosse, that the use
of profane language will not tend to make
them more expert players and certainly
(bee not make them more manly. We are
pleased to know, however, that the use of
such language is confined to very few who
.cOngregate there, and for the good of the
boys we trast it will soon disappear alto-
gether.—Miss Addie Stevenson, organist of
our church, left on Monday for Sarnia on
a visit to relatives and friends. She expects
to remain about a month, and during her
absence her place will be filled by Miss

THE'BOWLING TO'CRNAMENT.—The third
annual tournament of the Seaforth Lawn
Bowling Club was held on the green here
on Wednesday and Thursday. Rinkswere
present from Clinton, Goderich, • Mitchell
and London, as well as 'several from the
home club, and the competition during both
days was of the keenest, and much excite-
ment and intereat was manifested through-
out. Major Anderson had the green in ex-
cellent -condition for playing, and the place
was otherwise beautified by a_brilliant dis-
play of iflags. The beautiful weather, with
whioh the bowlers were favored on both
days, enabled quite a large number of spec-
tators, of whom the greater number were
ladies, to be on the green to witness the
competition. The tournament throughout
was a decided suce,ess, and the bowlers have
every reason to be proud of themeelies. We

OUR TRICK BICYCLISTS.:—The Globe of
Saturdayelast contains some excellent pie.
tures of our trick bicycle riders, Messrs.
George Baldwin and Herbert Morrison, to-
gether with -a short sketch of their lives.
These boys are becoming quite celebrated
for their many clever and difficult feats on
the bicycle, and already their services are
in demand in many places to give exhibitions
of their skill and mastery of the silent steed.
They have learned all this after ordinary
working hours and are highly commendable
for their perseverance and the degree of
perfection they have obtained, as many of
their tricks are extremely- difficult. The
pictures as given in the Globe give the
riders in some of their funny and difficult
attitude's on the bicycle. They were taken
by Mr. J. P. Henderson, photographer of
this town, and are excellent likenesses.
•
THE FROST. —I t is not often that we,in this
highly favored part of the world,have a vieit
from Jack Frost during the month of July.
This year, however, has been exceptional in
this respect. On Sunday night last, there
was a very severe frost, and those who '
were about early enough on Monday morn-
ing say that the boards were white,
the grass quite crisp, and that in some
places there was a skim of ice on the water.
Fortunately, the injury from the unusual
visitation had not been serious, and has-
been confined principally to vegetables on
low lying and unproteeted lands. Cucum-
bers'beans and tomatoes have been pretty
badly spoiled; potatoes in many.places have
been considerably burned, while corn, man -
golds and in some instances, peas in low
lying and loamy lands, have been injured.
Fruit and wheat, as well as oats and barley,
have entirely escaped injury. On the
wholeethe loss will be comparatively trifling
and will not materially detract from the
generally good crop.
THE CHAMPION HURONS. — The Huron
fbotball club of this town won the champion-
ship of the Western Football Association
series on Friday evening laat, by defeating
the Rangers of Berlin, in one of the hottest
games of football that has ever been. played
on the Seaforth grounds. It will be remem-
bered that these two teanie had, some diffi-
culty about arranging dates, but, after con-
siderable correspondence, the Berliners
came to time, and accepted Friday last as a
suitable date. They arrived here that day
about five o'clock, with a band, a crowd of
supporters and a number of fish home.
They almost took the town by storm, and
seemed embued with the idea that the vic-
tory was then theirs. They were too hasty,
and it was not long ere their supporters
were crestfallen and the fog horns were
silenced. The teams lined np about seven
o'clock, with a large crowd present and ex-
cellent football weather. From the start
the Hurons went into the game with a rush,
which surprised their opponents, and for
half an hour the fight was a hot one, al-
though the superior combination of the
Huron forwards gave them the advantage,
e
and at the end of that time Hill did the
needful for the home team. Shortly after-
ward. another tally Was made for the
Huron'. Shortly after half time Captain
Jackson added another goal .to the soore.
This ended the scoring,- leaving the home
team victorious by 3 goals to 0. In the
second half, Berlin olaimetl a goal, but it
was not allowed by the referee, and they
began packing their trunks. However, some
of the more level heads prevailed -on them
to remain a little longer and finih but the
game, which they wisely did. It /was no
use though; the Hurons were playing too
good a game for them, and they lost because
they had run up against a swifter team.
This ought to settle the little difficulty be-
tween the clubs, and prove to the Rangers
that they are not the only players, and that
the .Hurons have fairly and honorably won
the championship. It would be invidious
te particularize the Play of the different
members of the team. Every player did
hie duty, was in the right place at the right
time, while their combination was perfect.
PRESBYTERY OF Hun-one—The ' Presby-
tery met in Goderich on the 121h inst.

A GENEROUS ACT.—The pupils of the
Seaforth Collegiate Institute recently con-
tributed a sum for the aid of the Hormital
for Sick Children, Toronto. Mr. J. Rose
Robertson, the chairman of the Trust, in a
note to Mr. Clarkson, headmaster of the
Institute, acknowledged the gift as follows :
"Please accept my heartfelt thanks for the
- contribution of $9 forwarded to the Hospital
for Sick Children by the pupils of your In-
stitute. The gift is moat timely and very
much appreciated by the trustees. It - is
not the first time that our good friends at
Seaforth have helped us materially." This
is a most deserving charity and the thought.
fulness of the Collegiate Institute students
is highly commended, and will, we hope, be
imitated by °theta.

A PRETTY WASHINGTON WEDDING.—The
Woodstock Sentinel -Review of last week
says : "A pretty wedding was solemnized
at "Maple Bank," the home of Walter Hall,
near Washington, on Wednesday last, when
Emma, the youngest daughter of the late
Stephen Hall, was married to J. A. Wilson,
eldest son of D. D. Wilson, egg merchant of
Seaforth. The bride looked pretty in a cos-
tume of white organdie and chiffon, while
the bridesmaid, Miss Jean Hall, looked
-Neatly charming in a pretty costume of
pink organdie. • Both carried beautiful bou-
quets of flowers. Tile groomsman was Dr.
McKay, of Seaforth, who performed the
duties assigned to him in good style. The
perernony was performed by Rev. Mr. John-
ston of Chesterfield, assisted by Rev. Mr.
Hodinrake, of _ Washington. About 70
guests sat down to an elaborate .wedding
dinner after the ceremony, when a general
good time was the portion of all. Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson are enjoying their honeymoon
in the Thousand Islands and on their return
will take up their residence in Seaforth.
The many beautiful and handsome gifts bore
ample testimony to the popularity of both
young people." Mr: and Mrs. Wilson re-
turned home last week and are now comfor-
tably settled down to the sterner realities Of
life in their home on East William street.
THE EXPOSITOR joins with their numerous
friends here in wishing them many happy
years of married life.

HONORING A HURON Boy.—The gentle-
man alluded to in the following paragraph
taken from the Toronto Mail of Wednes-
day, is an old Huron boy and a son of Mr.
A. L. Gibson, Regietrar of Huron: "Mr..
Tom. Gibson, secretary of the Ontario Bur-
eau of Mines,who is attending the American;
Mining Convention, now in session in Salt'
Lake City, as the official representative of
the Provincial Government, has scored a
.great sucess, according to the reports which
have reached Toronto. The convention is a
very important and very representative one,
comprising delegates from all the leading
mining centres in the United States,and it is
no small thing for Mr. Gibson to' have pro-
duced the favorable impression which he
seems to have made, judging by the reports
in the local press. One Salt Lake City
paper refers in the following complimentary
terms to the Ontario Government's representa - -
tive : "Oratorically speaking the gem of
the Whole convention was the Speech de-
livered by Thomas A. Gibson, the delegate
from Toronto. Mr. Gibson introduced his
talk on the mineral wealth' of his province
with a reference to the sympathy of Canada
for the United States in its battles for the
extension of human liberty. Before he got
far in this vein the delegates awoke to the
fact that they were hearing the one eloquent
speech of the day, and the applause that
followed almost very sentencle amounted to
an ovation. After the adjournment many
of the delegates shook hands with Mr. Gib-
son, and congratuytted him on his speech."

CANADIAN HORSES ABROiD.—Mr. Fred E.
Anderson, writing froni Vienna, Austria, on
June 20, to the Canadian Sportsman, of To-
ronto, says: "Beth Canadian horses and
trainers here are doing great credit to their
country. I am certain a great many Cana-
dian horsemen will read with interest any
good reports of that clever and trustworthy
reineman, Dick Roche. Dick had his em-
ployer, Mr. • William Cruitt, of Liverpool,
England, purchase for him that good, game
little trotter, •Reddy. Reddy arrived here
on the 291h of April, but the weather has
been very wekand cold for working horses
and ones of hna stamp require plenty of warm
weather. He wasn't given a start until last
Sunday, when he won over a field of twelve
horses, with a heavy handicap on him.
'Reddy's performance last Sunday is thought
something marvelous as he showed all his
old stamina and plenty of speed, and it is
evident he will prove a great horse here in
his trainer's hands. Mr. Roche also has a
good mare called Bell Pilot, with a mark of
2:154 that has started four times, winning
once and getting inside of the money the
other three times. Roche had the honor of
a mount behind Aztnon, 2:10, in the (fast
class race and drove an exceptionally good

THE CROPS.—A general orop failure is
something we have never experienced ine
the county of. Huron. A failure ID one or
two kinds of crop is *wally supplemented
by a superabundance tin others. It is not
often, however, that we have been favored
with such a universally good crop as, that
which will be harvested this yesr. And.
this abundance is not peculiar to any one
section, but a similar report could be truth-
fully givenArom every township in the
county. The hay harvest is now pretty
much over. The yield, on the wholei, is not
so large as last year, but it is a bountiful
crop, and there are few poor fields* while
the weather has been more favorable, and
it has been saved in much better condition.
than last year. In the south, some farmers
who commenced to out early, got that por-
tion of their crop wet, but not enough te
seriously injure it, but the great bulk of the
hay has been housed without getting A drop
of rain. The fall wheat harvest will be
general next week. In some places there
has been a little rust, but not enough, we
fancy, to injure the grain. On the whole,
we have never seen in this county a more
even or a nicer . atop of wheat, or one
that is likely to yield better. The heads
are filled to the very top, and the
grain is plump and bright, and of fully bet-
ter quality than last year. Oats and bar-
ley, also, promise an abundant yield. In
some pieces, more particularly on low,
loamy ground, and in the north, where the
crop is not so far advanced, peas and ensil-
age corn have been injured by the frost, and
if there will be.a shortage in any cereal it
will be in peas. • There is a large area of
fodder corn grown in this county now, but
any shortage that the frost may make in it
will be more than supplied by the super-
abundance of hay. There is, alo, anim-
mense yield of small fruits of aU kinds, but
there will be aehortage again in the best
varieties of shipping apples, although it is
said that fall fruit promises well.. The
roots are looking well so far. The weather
has been favorable to their growth, and
they have now 4oi such a good 'start, that
unless something unexpected overtakes
them there will, also, be an abundant root
crop. With fair prices, therefore, our
farmer may fairly 13ok forward to a pro-
fitable and prosperous year, and when our
farmers are prosperous all classes share in
the prosperity. It is, in fact, some years
since the prospects for trade and plenty
were so generally promising as this year.
