She had gone into a room without a lamp, to get something from a sideboard, and in rising struck her head against a step Ladder stand- ing close by. .Her' face came in contact with the ladder and a wire attached to it penetrated her eye.

Seaforth this week. Mr. Belden.. is interested in =the Farmers' Pork Packipg establishment, of Palmerston, and was round looking up purchasers for stook. Hsi is also interested in a patent for a new meidel threshing ma- chine, whish cuts the .craw and blows it. into:.the mow as it is threelied. Mr. Belden and his associates are looking for a central place in whichto establish a manufactory for these machines. and he says they might be induced to locate in Seaforth, being the centre of an exceptionally good farming country. It would be well for the council and the Board of Trade to enquire into this matter. An enterprise of this kind will not, be long in search of a location, where its promoters will got what they ask, and if Seaforth can get it, it should have it. • A HcaoN OLD B0 -1''s SUCCESS.—The gen- tleman referred to in the following para. graph, which we take from the Globe of Saturday last, refers to a former Huron boy, a son of Mr. Thomas McKay, of Stanley, near Kippen : " Mr. J. B. McKay has for 20 years been engaged in business college work in Kingston, and his success there has been so great as to justify his openinga college in Toronto, on September 16th. Mr. McKay is a pian of great force of character, and his removal to Toronto will introduce a factor into the business college field that must be reckoned with. That he will speedily place the new school in the front rank is regarded as a certainty by those who know the record. The new college will be located in the Confederation Life build• ing, and will be opened with the largest and best typewriter equipment in Canada, no less than 7.5 new Remingtons having been_ put in. Mr. MciKay's order for his_machinee is the largest single order for typewriters ever given fn the Dominion." THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY. —At a special meeting of the town council, held on Friday last, to consider a proposition from the Goderich Electric Railway Company, the following resolution was passed : " _diet a franchise be, and is hereby granted by the munielpality of the town of Seaforth to Messrs.

McGillicuddy and Goldthorpe. It is further agreed that the said railway shall be exempt from all taxation by the said municipality for the first 21 years of the said term. The said franchise is granted only on condition that said company is . formed according to statute and opera—tions commenced a'ne year front date ; also on condition that the said company or companies shall not have the exclusive franchise and that any other company or companies shall have the right to cross said line, and have running rights and powersover blong and said lino, to be hereafter more fully agreed upon." BEAt'TIFCL a Beveti;Lr).— vJr. W. R. Davis, the veteran editor of the Mitchell Advocate, visited Bayfield the other day and, like every other person who does the same, he was delighted with its charms. This is.wbat he says : " Bayfield is one ,of the picturesque summer resorts on the. shores of Lske Huron and, as in _ past seasone, it is extremely popular among pleasure seekers. C:owds have flocked to this quiet spot from Detroit, Toronto, Lon- don and many other places. . leech year it is becoming more widely known and its patronage is rapidly increasing. On civic holiday it was our pleasure to be among the visitors, and we were amazed to find such a place so thickly populated with campers and visitors. - The accommodation is excellent, there being three hotels, a temperance hoose and many cottages: I)ur-ing our stay we were registered at the River Hotel, one of the prettiest epots in the whole village, overlooking the lake. Mr, Thomas Stephens, the proprietor, is a° ;genial host, and puns forth every effort to make it comfortable • and pleasant for guests. • We can recommend this place to the public=, and any one intending to visit Bayfield will not be disappointed, as we believe the requirements' of all will be amply provided for by Mr. Stephens.'1 • THE HURON' EXPOSI right and . it may not. But there is no doubt about the fact that the per€ons bitten could have got the same material for consid• erably lase money at any of the stores in Seaforth, and would besides have had the eatiefactiou.of knowing that everythingwas all right. When will people learn that they cin never get something for nothing, and that if they want to get honest goode at fair prices they must patronize merchants who have a reputation to sustain and conse- quently cannot afford to resort to any fake stories to -sell their goods ? We can assure the farmers that if they will bring their produce to Seaforth,they will be able to dis- pose of it at the beat price possible for the dealera to pay, and that in return for their money will get good goods at right prices. Givethe faker the cold shoulder and patron- ize honest merchants. You will be no worse off in the end and will save yourself a lot of 'worry and the possibility of a big note to meet in the bank. • WEDDED.—A quiet wedding was solemn: ized at Ingleside on Tuesday, when' Mar- garet, daughter of Mr, D.

He did it•sotnething after this fashion. He would -drive into a farmer's place, and prnceeded to sell him a hill of goods, which must not be less than $27, and as an inducement, to buy, persons purchasing eloth to this amount were to be- come members of an association backed up by the Government. The benefits of mem• bership in the association greatly enhanced prices for butter and eggs, A cold storage ear was to be in Seaforth on August 15th, but, by the way, it has not arrived up to date. The members were to bring their butter and eggs direct to the car and would there receive at least five cents a dozen more for their eggs and abut that much more a pound for their butter than was being paid at the stores. This story seemed to be good bait. A number of people, more than care to say anyt g about it, gave their notes for $27 or more'ct a bundle of cloth and are still waiting for the cold storage car and the big prices fc,r their produce. Mr Peddler didn't do any waiting, however,' he dis- counted the notes at the local banks and left for pastures new. The cloth may be all • DEATH OF Mrs, WM.
