On Sunday as three youths were
in mid -channel of the river near
the boat houses a canoe in which
they were seated upset. One of the
oeeupaute swam to the dock, one
swam to a boat that was near by
and was taken iu, (tuft the other
hung on to the canoe until a butt
saute from shore. The canoe was
thou brought to shore, and the
ducked ones made their way home
for a change of raiment. The
depth of the water where the upset
occurred is about seven feet, but as
the boys were all good swimmers they
ran no personal risk. It may be
mentioned that the above makes the
second overturning of a • eanoe
thie seasou, one with two young,
men in it having capsized in
the harbor some two weeks since.
On Friday afternoon our people
had the pleasure of witnessing the
most exciting base ball match ever
played in this vicinity. The con-
testants were our lawyers and bank-
ers against our merchants. Long
before the time announced for the
commencement the battle ground
was well peopled, and at the calling
of the gatne there was a thoroughly
enthusiastic audience present. The
merchants having won the toss
elected to hat first but did not catch
on to P. Malcomson's twisters, ono
run only being scored. The lawyers
then grabbed the willow, and did
not field again until they had count-
ed three, two of which, however,
were well earned by a pounding
from the pitcher. During the re-
tnainder of the game there was great
excitement, the science displayed
in runningfibases and poising the
bat, and the decisions of a large
number of acting umpires causing
general cheering. As regards bat-
ting prowess the teams were evenly
matched, but the batting of the
merchants having struck the strikers
too often, lost the game. It may be
tnentioned that Mr. F. W. Johnston
Was personated by Mr. John Me-
Cullagh, and Messrs. Jno. Acheson,

here the other evening for a load

loading was obliged to run back to

season but I presume we will be
obliged to wheel it to and from
those everlasting go-ahead govern- ,
cent fed Harbors to the South and
North of us. Our 'Harbor was put

for as piling and repairing the outer
piersare concerned, with the under.

point of view) went into hyster'ieks •

managed to have the place "put off"
again, so as the dredge Challenge
can put in another season between
Goderich and Kincardine. Great

dredge for themselves, or do they
want the whole earth l It seems
very much like it. An old political

are breakers ahead.
