It /looked Xhreat'ening early in the morning, aed-'.a...little rain fell, but it didn't. frighten those who had :pla ned to spend the day $i away from town, a d they were rewarded for their persiatene by being favored with a fine day after ill. Nearly everybody . went out of town, the majority going to Bayfield, while a number Wok advantage of the cheap railway rates„the most of the travellers go- ing to Toronto. 'DEATH OF MRS. MEYER-S.—We take the follovring from the Galt Reporter of last week : "Mr. J. Meyers received a message announcing the death of his wife, which oc- curred at the General Hospital,- Toronto. Mrs. Meyers has been ill since about Christ- mas, and went to Toronto pn the 24th of May to try tholake breezes for the benefit of her health. The change had not the de - e sired effect and she grew so weak that she was unable to return; She was about thirty- three years of age and leaves-, beside her husband, a family of five small children. The late Mrs. Meyere was an affectionate and devoted wife and mother, and had a large circle of friends among whom she was very popular." Mrs: Meyers was- a daughter of Mr. _Joseph Noble, of Seaforth and Mr. Meyers was, some years ago, a resident of this town. TUOKERSMITII COUNCIL.—A meeting of Tuckeremith council_was held at Brucefield on Thursday, Auguet 4th. All the members were present, and having taken the requisite oath sat as a court of revision on the Broad - foot creek drainage by-law. Mr. Andrew Story appealed against the assessment of west half of lot 9, concession 6, on the gronnd of unjust assessment for. outlet. After due consideration the appeal was disnlissed. Mr. J. B. MeLean appealed against the assessment of west half of- lot 29, concession 5, on the ground of being overcharged for benefit. The appeal was suetained and the assessment lowered from 631.75 to $23.70. Messp. G. and R. Brock 'also appealed against anessessment 0 for benefit on lot 29, conbession 4, as og too high as compared with other lots his. However, although Mr. Brook was present be sustain his appeal, he failed to _ convince the court of the justice of hie' claim sad his case was dismissed. After 'closing the court the-counoll eat for general business, the most important of will& wax the letting /tithe Broadfoot and Tyndall creek contracts. Several tenders were re- ceived for each, but the lucky man was Mr. George Oliver, of London, the gentleman who did the work on the " big drain " last season. His figures ars $2,690 for the Broadfoot drain, and $665 for the Tyndall or Sproat drain. Both of these are con- siderablf lower than the estimate. A reso- lution was used granting the Seaforth i Electric Li t Company the liberty ef erecting the poles on the roadway trom Seaford) to Harpurhey, provided they are ereoted in snob a way as will not inconven- ience the property- owners interested,or the general public. A few accounts were pass- ed and the council adjourned to hold a ithort meeting at Kyle's hotel on Monday evening, Aupst 15th, when the Broadfoot creek draage bn-law will be finally passed.

ANOTHER HURON' BOY COMING TO T LE FRoNT . —At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Industrial Mortga.ge and Savings Company of Sarnia, Judge Lister resigned his position as President and his late partner, Mr. John Cowan was unam- iously elected 'Judge Lister's successor in the Presidency of the company. The Sarnia Observer says : "The appointment will be received with general satisfaction by the shareholders of the company and the public, with whom Mr. Cowan is deservedly pop- ular and who have implicit confidence in his business ability and integrity. His intimate knowledge of the company's affairs, acquired as its solicitor, enables him to discharge the duties of the presidency with perfect re- liance, Mr. Cowan's parents were natives of Roxboroughshire, Scotland, _and he was born on the ocean on their waY ont to Can- ada. They settled in the township of Mc- Killop, Huron County, and the subject of this sketch worked on the fermi until he was 21, earning the money with which be edu- cated himself for the profusion of the law. He entered the law office of Mr. Idington, • Stratford, es a student in 1876'; remained three years and then went to Toronto, to the law Office of Beattie,Chad vick & Biggar* Hi remained there one year, during which time he attended the law school, passed five examinatimui and got one year allowed off the ustutl term of service as a student.

His appointment as President Lister's successor was well de- served and will prove a source of strength -to the oompany." The:many old friends of Mr. Cowan here will unite with THF EXPOS- ITOR in extending congratulations to him and in rejoicing over his deserved good ' fortune. . Aro rage...mov......, 0 Film Awome.--Mr. R. H. Barr, a for- mer resident of this town, but who removed with his family to Alitomeelast spring, writ- ing home says : We are very well pleased with this part of the country and think it will make a fine country yet. I have never seen better props anywhere then we have here this summer, although thei are about two weeks later than with you. Haying will be mostly finished this week, and fall wheat will be ready to out next week. We' have taken a bush farm on the lake shore. It is a mile and a half from school and Methodist church ; twO and a half miles from poet office and Presbyterian church ; three miles from Port Finley, and five miles -from Desbarate, on the Canadian Puffin Railwsy. The land around hers is all taken up, but a great deal of it cad be bought at very reasonable prices from the settlers and any person who is not afraid of a little 'hard work can soon make a comfortable home for theniselves. --0. - GET YOUR, ENVOLoPEEI PRINT/1D.— The Deputy Postniaater General has issued a circular to postmasters directing their at- tention to recent changes in the postal laws and regulations. In this circular he says : " It is partionlarly requested that the name and address of the'writer or sender of any letter should be printed or writ* on the upper left band corner of the envelope or wrapper, so that in case there be \ any de- ficiency ill the postage or address, the ar- ticle may be returned or the sender com- ninnicated with by the local poetmaster and further trouble and delay avoided, In the case of the letter there wUl lee an ad itional advantage,insomuch as any letter bee log the sender's addrers which may fail of del very et the offioe of destination, will be r turned direct to the sender, saving the char e of 3 cents, whioh would be made if r turned through the deed letter office," T re Ex- TOSITOR makes a specialty of the pri ting of envelopes* and osn supply them in tinted form st a very small Advance en the t of the plain envelopes. Even private re idents who have any considerable oorres dance should have a few envelopes printed with their name or post office box number in the upper left band corner. The cost ef this would be trifling and. might frequently save them annoyance and expense. 0 0---1--......—. .% has removed his fa ily to Toren LEAVING TOWN.
