Hill's Green.
Tho prospects for a lively Queen's
Birthday are apparently very good.
A garden party will be held at Mr
Wm Curry's, under the auspices of
the' Famine Methodist church,
football, croquet and other interest-
ing games will be provided for the
sports, afterwards refreshments will
be provided for by the ladies of the
congregation. A large crowd is ex-
pected and a good time guaranteed.
Hitherto the people of this congre-
gation have always led the yon in
such undertakings, and we are sure
they will not allow their reputation
to tall this year.
NOTES. -Mr A Love is busily en-
gaged in erecting an addition to his
house, Mr Welsh, of Hensall, has
the contract. Mr - Jno McAllister,
jr, had a well attended sand bee
last week. Mr Jas Hagan hag com-
pleted the drive way in his beautiful
park. Improvements seem to be the
order of the day, Mr G Clousie re-
cently went on a trading expedition
to the landi
o Cromarty, omart but failed
to realize his anticipations to make
a great haul; since this gentleman is
evidently not fitted for this line of
business, we would strongly advise
him to abstain from such practices.
Peddlers are getting a little too fresh
around here this spring, and it wn'ild
almost seem necessary for the law to
interfere and protect our merchants
from the unlicensed rascals, Mr W
Cain, one of our most eminent horse
men, recently became the proud pos-
sessor of a foal, which as regards
breeding, is ' of a whit behind any

pering fairly well, considering all
things. Mr Latta still marches
southward, but a little farther than
previously. We are extremely sorry
that we are forced to admit that we
believe men are no wiser to -day than
they were a thousand years ago, when
"Antonius" was beguiled by the lov-
ing smiles of the beautiful "Cleopa-
tra."

Mr John T Westcott is busy taking
orders for the well know Nursery
Stock of Stone di Wellington, of
Torouto, who have 700 acres of nurs-
eryat Fontbill, in the county of Wel-

evening last. The trustees of Hen-
sall North parsonage, have decided

the poet while has been living in
town, intends moving on his farm,
which has been run by Mr Thomas
Cook, next week. While taking the
census Mr John Beacom came across
four persons whose ages were over

doubt if this can be beat. A garden
party is to be held .on the gronnds of
Mr John Oakes, Maitland con, on the

Ebenezer church, a good time is ex-
pected. Mr John Middleton lost

stable placed beneath. The barns of

ed in the same way. Farmers in

Murdock; who have been visiting
friends in Paramount and vicinity,
have returned. They report having
spent a very pleasant time.-
D G Bickle has in course of erec-
tion a very fine residence. It is sit-
uated on Joseph St, opposite the
Methodist Church. and when com-
pleted will not only be a credit to
Dave but will be an addition to the
already large number of neat resi-
dences which our village possesses,
when we consider the fact that Dave
has only been in business a few
years it gives us an abundant proof
of his business ability and shows
what steady application to business
will do.
About the latter end of March
some unknown person called on Mr
Wm Wilson, a well known money
lender; who lives on the 4th conces-
sion of West Wawanosh, about two
and a half miles east of the village.
He procured a note for $90 and bear-
ing 8 per cent intertest,purporting to
be made by James Mallough in favor
of and endorsed by Thee Anderson,
two well to do farmers of this section.
The stranger represented the he *as
a son of Mr Anderson and that his
father had sent him to get the note
cashed, whereupon Mr Wilson.
handed him over the full value of
the note and one dollar extra, saying
he was in the habit of charging
only 7 per cent. About two weeks
ago Mr Wilson became suspicious
that ail was not right, and upon en-
quiry learned that a clear case of
forgery had been perpetrated. An
arrest and committal bas been made,
but no one believes that the person
accused is the guilty party.
Zurich.
NOTES. -Mr Peter Wagoner is im-
proving. Mr Robt Moore, book

of London, was the guest of 5 J Lat-
ta, last week. Miss McAllister, of

ed by D Purvis. A number of our
young folks attended a party last

the third child of Mr Daniel Glid-
don, who has been severely suffering
from inflammation and erysipelas.
and of whom very Blight hopes were
entertained of his recovery, is, we are
glad to hear almost -out of danger.
TEMPERANCE. -012 Sunday even-
ing last, the Methodist church was
crowded to hear the pastor deliver
an address on "The ox of Intemper-
ance." He spoek for p about o o f 4 0 minu-
tes, during which time he most clear-
ly described the evils arising from
imtemperance, using many very ap-
propriate)illustrationalto show to what
depths this curse will plung its v ie -
time. After the addreae Mr Gasby
sang 'Where is my wandering boy
to •night.'
NOTES - Mr Mulholland's new
house presents an imposing appear-
ance; it is rapidly approaching com-
pletion. Mise Nelly Courtice is
spending a few days in and near the
village. air 5 Murch is again off the
railroad section; he worked on it
nearly two weeks this time. Four :.
pupils from our school intend to be ex-
amined at the midsummer examin-
ation. The peope say - taffy is
plentiful. Apple blossom is scarce,
so is rain. Singing is grand. He
came to hunter) up. Several of
our citizens are in Goderich, attend-
ing to District and Miasionary work
of the Methodist church.
ACCIDENT. - What might have
been a very serious accident happen-
ed one day last week, while the farm-
ers and men of the place were taking
down an old barn for J R Holmes,
W Ramsey, Mr Knight and J R
Holmes were carrying one end of the
plate, while the other end was resting
on a beam, when the floor broke
through, throwing W Ramsey at full
length with the plate on top of him,
though the timber was taken off as
quickly as possible he was consider-
ably bruised and is perhaps hprt in-
wardly, no bones were broken, but
he feels .pretty stiff.
It is with regret we assert that
Mr H B Evans is laid up with a
severe attack of erysipelas in the
face. He appears to be rather un-
fortunate, as he had scarcely recover-
ed from his very prolonged illness of
last year, and still more unfortunate
from the fact that he had just made
arrangements to enter upon the en-
gagement of an agency.
Auburn.
J P Brown is again to the front in
the carriage line, and has already
shipped one of his splendid rigs to
Londesboro and another to the new
livery in Blyth. Perhaps he will be
sending some down to the hub before
the season is over.
The Canadian Order of Foresters
is booming in Auburn. At their reg-
ular meeting oh Friday evening last,
five candidates were initiated, and
there will be almost as many more
for the next meeting. Success to
Court Dufferin.
Mr John Noble, our enterprising
fruit tree agent, has finished hie
spring delivery of trees, shrubs, small
fruits, etc. and he certainly deserves
credit for the energetic way in which
he has pushed his agency, and the
favorable impression he has made on
his customers, whose orders have been
filled to their satisfaction.
The lecture under the auspices of
L 0 L No 930, which was to have
been held on Monday evening last,
had to be postponed owing to the
inability of Grand Lecturer Perry to
be present on that evening. It was
no doubt a disappointment to many
of the Brethren, who came out to
hear the lecture, not knowing it had
been cancelled.
On Sunday morning last, Mise Bar-
bara Howatt, daughter of Mr Jas
Howatt, of Colborne, passed peace-
fully away to join the silent majority.
Deceased had been ill for a long
time, and her case seemed to thwart
the efforts of the most skilful physi-
cians.. The family have the sincere
sympathy of the community, as this
is the third time that death has en-
tered their house within the past
three or four years. The funeral on
Monday afternoon was largely at-
tended,
No'rns.---Mr Geo Rutledge is ser-
iously ill, and but slight hopes are
entertained for his recovery. Mr G
Rogers, who• has been a resident of
our village for a short time, took his
departure for Clinton, but we believe
he is coming back ere long to take up
his residence again here. Last Suns
day there was a public lecture given
gratis by two of the aged matrons of
our neighborhood,tt one of our h
ehurched, On Tueadt y evening next i

large turn -out at the services on Sun-
day last to hear Conductor Snider,
and everybody was more than delight-
ed with hint; his addresses were good
and practical. Mies Dewar spent
Sunday in Seaforth among. friends.
D. S. Huber and family are moving
to Berlin, this week; we are sorry to
see him leave our village, as he was
liked byall with whom he had busin-
ess or social relations. The District
Lodge of I. O. G. T, held their Dis-
trict Meeting on Wednesday, which
was largely attended by Delegates
from all parts of the district, and the
concert, given by the local lodge in
the evening, was a success. It is
rumored that we are going to have a
new tailor and barber shop. We
noticed a number of Clintonrans in
the village on Sabbath to hear Con-
ductor Snider preach, Mr J. Bruns-
don was in London last Saturday.
Wingham.
A. dispatch from Traer, Iowa,
announces the capture of a resident of
Wingham, a hotel keeper named Con-
over, at Traer, for forgery. Conover
was not much at home at Wingham,
andh
w en he did come o e hem
e had lots
of money. The hotel is and hag been
run by his wife for about 12, years.
GONE AND DONE Tr. -Two or three
weeks ago, the papers atattI that Mr
W. Flack was going t0 Manitoba, for
two or three months. The next they
had it, was, that the same gentlemen
was going to Winnipeg, to fetch a
lady home; the report then was he
had rented that beautiful residence of
Aire Price's ; the next thing we knew
he had take his departure for Winni-
peg, and althh'igh the winds and the
waves were against him, he got there
all ,the same ; and by the assistance
of a kind Methodist Methodist min-
ister, was united in marriage, to the
amiable and accomplished young lady
Lottie Smith, third daughter of J. L
Smith, Esq., of Winnipeg, and, ' arriv-
ed home cafe with his partner for life
in lees than two weeks ; talk about
going around the world in 90 days ;
Arthur could easily do it in 65, under
pressing circumstances. Our fellow
citzen is a -true gentlemen in every
sense of the term ; and we wish him
and his esteemed young wife all the
pleasure and happiness that a married
lite can afford them. -
NOTES -The W:nghani Temperance
Hall Company, who have bought the
old town hall,have had it removed to a
lot directly north, and turned it end
for end facing on Edward St, the hall
is to be fitted up in good style, and is
to be used especially for temperance
work; we wish the cause every .suc-
cess. Mr John Ambler ie building a
fine residence, the brick work is ra-
pidly going on by the McGregor Bros,
the building is on the corner of John
and Leapold streets, and will have
a very fine appearance. Mr Smail is
building a brick front to hiaresidence;
the atone work is now completed.
We think that in the course of a
few weeks there will net be a loose
pebble the size of a marrowfat pea
that'the young dudes off the town,
will not have tapped of the walks
with their canes. Mr H. B. Combe,
one of Clinton's popular young men,
paid a visit to Wingham the other
day Wingham has magnetic influen-
ces for more than one young man.
A few evenings ago a certain young
man had the pleasure of seeing a
young lady home, who through polit-
nese invited him in; after being seated
a while and conversation seemed to
cease, his mind must have been car-
red away in anticipations of future
happiness when they two would
be one; and amidst his soliloquy, said
"will you sit on my knee and incline
on my bosom";At this the young lady
became offended and pointing in a
certain direction said, "do you see
that door," he being a little sensatve
took his hat and left. Rather a sev-
ere lesson young man,but a good one.
The Amateur Theatrical entertain-
ment in the town hall on Monday
evening last, was a grand success.
Quite a numger of our town's people
attended theDistrictLodge in Londes-
boro, on Wednesday. We are
pleased to see the temperance people
taking such an active interest in the
work, we hope and trust that their
labors may soon be crowned with
success. Th e Queen's birthday will be
celebrated here next Monday; and a
grand day's sport is expected.

PRESENTATION. -On Friday even-
ing of last week a few of Mr M Beck-
with's many friends, aesembled at
James McKelvie's to bid Mr Beck-
with good bye. Mr John Gilespie
was called to the chair, and in a few
words made known the cause of the
gathering. Mr ..W `K Loutit, then
came forwar.1 and read the following
address and Mr A Sebastian made
the presentation.
To. Ma, BEortwrrn-Dear Sir and Bro

not let. it pass without showing our ap-
preciation in some tangible form. Kind-

would be lead to suppose en looking
over this very interesting paper, on
the contrary, it has been very much
alive of late. We have bad several
sensation to after another, butarunthe,-
excitement is subsiding. Mra
dy is quietly folding her arms and
the query is "yenat's next." Business
hat certainly been a little dull but
reasonable people will expect that
just now, the farmer meet, sow the
seed if we would reap the harvest.
Then house cleaning is, the order of
the day; the air is rife with odd
sounds. The head of the house goes
home, takes his dinner off the end of
a barrel in the wood shed,aud may be
very thankful it he gets any at all, so
taking things into consideration Blyth
is in line with the rent of the towns.
We were glad to see the Mammoth
house looking so bright and lovely
again, since stock taking. We believe
this firm has undergone a change,
and will now be known as McKinnon
di Co.
- Mr Dougal McKellar,is we are sorry
to say, confined to the house through
indisposition; cope it may be nothing
serious, and to see him about in a day
or two.-_ '
•
Mr Herrington is moving to Mrs
renkin's house; and the girls are very
mach exercised as to who is to oc-
cupy the house vacated by him.
Dame r

e.
of our fair maids.
Dr Shaw, an old and popular resi-
dent of Blyth, paid us a short visit on
Friday night. Dr Shaw has opened an
office in Clinton, we bespeak for him
a friendly reception,may he be as suc-
cessful ashis Blyth friends could wish.
Miss Maggie McKellar, who has
resided here fora number of years,
through ill health, bas been obliged
to go away for a change of air. We
hope her visit may have the desired
effect, and to see her back sooelin her
urinal good spirits.
'Wait for the lst of July when Blyth
will outshine everything. A Non -
Merolla celebration is proposed for
that day. Firemen's tournament and
other things too numerous to men-
tion; cannot vouch for the greasy pig
as yet. See the bills though, there're
is plenty of time to prepare for it.
The social held at the residence
of Mr R. Reword, in aid of Trinity
Church, was a decided success. The
weather was everything that could
be desired, and judging from the
sight. and sounds it was a most en-
joyable evening, especially to those
interested in fig cake and bananas,
We have a new butcher shop
opened by Mr Wettlanffer, who pro-
mises to cater to the public in all the
latest cuts and atylee. Also a new
livery, the proprietors of which drive
some nice horses. Opposition is the
life of trade, and Blyth is alive to the
fact.
Mrs Belfry is going to have a sale
of houbehold effects on Saturday,
hope we are not going to lose her, as
present indications would point. Mr
Belfry having gone to Winnipeg on a
business trip, may remain and send
for the family,should he find it to his
advantage.
Our esteemed townsman and old
friend, J. B. Kelly, had rather a
narrow escape on his trip out went.
Being in the accident on the train
near 'Sudbury, he jumped from the
window; with the exceptions of a
great fright and being fifty hours
late, arrived in Winnipeg as he ex-
pected, we are glad to say.
Rumor says,and we think correctly,
that one of our most popular young
ladles, Miss A Dodds, will neat
month become the wife of a pros-
perous young farmer of East Wawa -
nosh, Mr W. McGowan. Both the
contracting parties are well known
and highly esteemed, and it is not
necessary to say that everybody ex-
tends them the very best wishes for
their future happiness,
A young man was heard to remark
one morning this week while sweep-
ing out- "I must get a wife." Now
that sounds rather doleful, and as if
there might be some difficulty in the
way. It would be a good idea like the
-'Twin city quilt of Windsor" to write
up some of our young men, advertise
them as it were, they are neither
lacking in good looks or pleasant
manners, it is bashful they they are.
[Write them up.]
Trinity church presented rather a
gloomy appearance on Sunday, but
thanks are due to those who worked
so hurriedly that there was a covering
at all. While ohoir practice was go-
ing on Saturday evening a lamp fell
from the, organ, the oil took fire,
and in a flash ran along the wook
and seats, up one of the windows but
was soon smothered out. The dam-
age is estimated at from fifty to one
hundred dollarii. It was thought
that there would be no service on
Sunday, when the Rev W. F. Camp-
bell' very- kindly offered his church
for the afternoon, but in the morning
when the smoke had cleared away, it
was found not unfit, though in rather
a blackened condition for worship.
The `firemen deserve 'credit for the
prompt manner in which they re-
sponded to the call; in double quick
time they were on the scene, glad to
say there services were not required
in this ease, but shows what they can
do when necessary. Ye men of
Huron, look to your laurels should
Our company visit Seaforth in June.
