The North Western ]exhibition
opened yesterday with a number of
entries exceeding that of previous
years, exhibitors corning from all
parts of the Province. To show
the wide popularity of our Fall
Show, we niay mention that resi-

the prominent exhibitors. The
large attendance yesterday betokens
an immense gathering to -day and
to -morrow. On account of our go-
ing to press on Tuesday evening it
is impossible to give any of the
prominent features of the show in
this issue, more than to say that the
exhibit as a whole shows that old
Huron can hold its own with any
County in the Dominion.

On Thursday afternoon a little
girl named Peacock walked through
the largest glass in McLean's new
blook. It appears that with others
she had been inspecting the store,
and desiring to leave hurriedly did
not notice the glass, as she was
taking the shortest cut out The
child was somewhat bruised but
not seriously, though it seems
almost impossible that she
could pees through so thick a
plate without being killed. The
value of the light broken is about
$90. The ;rnishap shows that the
plate glace must have been of the
purest, or the strong eyes of youth
could not have been so deceived.
The sudden death of Mr. Geo.
Rhynas at Detroit on Thursday
evening, news of which was received
by telegraph on Friday morning,
was a sad surprise to our citizens.
The deceased gentleman had been
in that city just one week, and had
made the journey for the purpose
of visiting his brotber Captain
Robert Rhynas, and benefiting his
health which was slightly impaired
at the time. After his arrival in
the States he seemed to be weakly,
but no dangeroua symptoms were
shown or his irelativeein this town
would have been summoned to be
present. The doctor attending the
deceased, had visited hini ten min-
utes before life left him. Death
however came suddenly from the
failure of the heart action, within
ten minutes of the visit. The
remains were brought to Goderich
on Saturday when large num-
bers of those who had known
him in life took a last farewell.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon amid a downpour of rain.
The time stated was 3.30, but
shortly after two a large number of
friends gathered on the square
which steadily increased till 3 when
the threatening aspect of the weath-
er caused a general dispersion for
shelter. At 3.30 the Foresters
marched to the deceased's late reel -
and celebrated the solemn funeral
rites of their Society over the re-
mains. The cortege left, shortly
before 4, the Foresters in a long line,
two abreast leading then followed
personal friends of deceased in the
same order of march; following
whom -were the hearse and a large
number of carriages. The pall
bearers were well-known members
of the Forester's lodge. The floral
offerings, numerous and of great
beauty, seemed to reflect their radi-
ance on George, for never during our
world's journeyings have we seen so
fair and lifelike an emblem of mortal-
ity enclosed in the casket of death.
The presence of so many of our
citizens in such a storm showed that
deceased had won their esteem; and
the universally expressed sentiment
of the large gathering was deep
sympathy for the young widow and
her little onus, and the relatives of
deceased.

The Harvest home party in con-
nection with St. John's, English
church, held in Secord's orchard
last week was all that could be de-
sired viewed from either a de-
nominational, social or financial
standpoint. The evening being
fine there was a large attendance of
both:young and old. An excellent
spread was provided by the ladies
of the congregation to which all
did ample justice. Ice-cream, lem-
onade, candies, etc., were dispensed
with a liberal hand throughout the
evening. A good musical program-
me was also gone through which
added much to the evening's enter-
tainment. The Rev. J. W. Hodgine,
the energetic pastor, and members
of the church were untiring in
their efforts to make the evening
pass pleasantly for all those pros-
ent. The proceeds; $52.49 which
will be!usod for church repairs.

Voting on the By -Law Friday of
this week. There is a tide in the
affairs of municipalities which if
taken at its flood leads on to for-
tune. \Tilt the qualified voters of
our village launch the ship of pro-
gress on the advancing tide on Fri-
day ; or will they allow it to ebb
again and carry with it into oblivion
the hopes and aspirations of the
progressive portion of our commun-
ity'1 I think the qualified rate-
payers will be equal to the occasion,
but every one in favor of the By-
law should poll his vote. If suc-
cessful it will be the beet days work
they have ever done. And to be suo-
easeful every favorable voter must
turn out.
Goderich Township.
GARDEN PARTY.—The entertain-
ment at Mr. J. G. Steep's on Fri-
day evening turned out very suc-
cessfully. A number from Bayfield
sand also from Clinton were present.
The musical part of the entertain-
ment was provided for by Mr, G.
F. Oakes and also by the Bugwoks
of Clinton. The singing of the
Bugwoks was something new for
this neighborhood and when their
leader, Mr. P. Jackson, asked them
how it was that Jno. Beacom had
only one girl, and they answered
with one accord "Because there's
only room for one &c.," our worthy
deputy smiled all over his face and
chin. They will, if visiting in this
neighborhood again, be warmly re-
ceived and appreciated. Mr. and
Mrs Steep wore untiring in their
efforts to make every person com-
fortable, and everybody and his girl
said :—" Well I had a better time
than I expected." As usual some
Bayfield toughs were around, com-
mitting unseemly acts and showing
their bar -room education. It is a
pity they wouldn't stay at home as
their heads and fingers are rather
light.
A peculiar accident occurred at
Mr. W. Rathwell's one night last
week, by which that gentleman pad
the bone of one of hie thighs broken
in two places. It seems that Mr.
Perdue's men were reproving a port-
able steam engine and taking it to
thresh at Mr. John Alexanders.
On the way the harness of the
'horses gave out, owing partly to the
f`ractiouiness of one of the animals.
Tho harness was put in shape sever-
al times, but finally the driver con-
cluded he would borrow others from
Mr. Rathwell. Mr. Rathwell got
out of bed and loaned the necessary
rigging. He was standing along
side the machine when frem some
unexplained cause a heavy fly wheel,
weighing several hundred pounds,
slipped off its pinion to the ground,
and fell over against Mr. Rathwell
injuring him, to the extent referred
to. It is supposed that the jolting
of the waggon previous to coming
to Mr. Rathwell's had loosened the
key which wedged the wheel on to
the pinion so that the starting mo-
tion of the waggon caused it to slip
off in the manner described. It is
a very unfortunate affair for Mr.
Rathwell and is more particularly
regretable in that he was acting so
unselfishly the part of the good
Samaritan.
Messrs. F. W. Tanner and W. W.
Sloan, of the Blyth lawn tennis
club, were on a tourlast week, de-
feating the representatives of Wing -
ham club 6.3, 6-2, 6 -0, -and Listowel
6-1, 6-3, 6-4, lint lost at Brussels
with the close score of 7-5, 5-7, 4.6.
In the second set at Brussels Mr.
Sloan had the misfortune to sprain
hisankle, or the result would un-
doubtedly bay been different.
Mr. James Coulter and wife, of
Morris, were returning home early
OD Monday morning after having
been sitting up with a sick person,
and when approaching the railroad
crossing observed a horse belonging
to some parties who have been col-
lecting old iron for some time past,
ina rather precirrious predicament,
the animal having got into one of
the culverts. Mr. C. awoke some of
the'noighbore and with the assist-
ance of a team and a !great amount
of hard labor they succeeded about
daylight in getting the poor brute
out of its awkward position.
The harvest home dinner in con
nection with the English church
came off on Tuesday evening last in
the temperance hall, Tho ladies of
the church had prepared two long
tables loaded down with the choicest
edibles, which had to be replenished
time and again by the lady waiters
who were kept busy from five to
eight supplying the wants of the
large crowd who wished to partake.
After having appeased the appetite
they adjourned to the pretty church
where they were addressed by the
pastor, Rev. G. W. Racey; Revs. W.
Craig, Clinton; T. A. Wright, Gor-
rie; E. W. Hughes, Listowel; A.
McLean and S. Tonge, Blyth.
Their remarks seemed to bo very
interesting to the large nongregation
present. The choir, wish their or-
ganist -Mies Ruth Jones, sang some
beautiful pieces which had been got
up for the occasion, and which
were greatly appreciated. Proceeds
of festival and Sunday's collection
amounted t0 over $75.

The Picnic in connection with
Sunday and day schools was held
on Saturday last. There was quite
a large crowd present, amongst them
were some Clintonians. The chief
feature of the sport was a football
match between sides chosen by
Messrs Wm. Lowery and Thomas
Murphy, which, after an hour's
vigorous playing, ended in a draw.
Too much credit cannot bo given
to theee of the committees who
turned out to make preparations for
