A garden party will be held at Mr. Wm Curry's, under the auspices of the ' Fansville Methodist church, football, croquet and other intereet- 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 van in such undertakings, and we are eure they will not allow their reputation to fall this year.

Peddlers are getting a little too fresh around here this spring, and it wired 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 not a whit behind any in the county. Mr Jas Love still persists in taking those periodical walks eastward and up the muddy lane, and we believe the case is pros- 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,smilea of the beautiful 'Cleopa- tra.

NOTES.—Mr Peter Cook, who for the past while has been living in town, intends moving on his farm, which bas been run by Mr Thomas Cook, next week. While taking the census Mr John Beacom came across , tour persons whose ages were over ninety, this is an old age and we doubt if this can be beat.

A large number of farmers from the adjoining 'townships are drawing salt to put on their spring grains. A large num- ber of our citizens intend going to -Crediton on Monday next, to spend the Queen's birthday celebration. Mr John T Westcott is busy taking orders for the well know Nursery Stock of Stone & Wellington, of Toronto, who have 700 acres of nurs- eryat Fonthill, in the county of Wel- land; J T is a hustler and no doubt will make the tree business a suc- cess.

There are no appeals against the -as- sessment roll of this township. Dungannon Mr R Clendening paid a visit to Crawford this week, and was the guest of Geo Hattie, the bee king of the district. Mr Clendening reports. things buzeing down in the hollow. NOTES.—Mr Harkness, of Chicago, spent a day or two in the village, this week, the guest of Mrs Thompson.

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 onlybeen in business a few years it gives us an abundant proof of his business ability and shows what steady application to business will do. Holnnesville. Nome—Miss Tilly, Tebbitt has been spending a few days in the village. Mr John Hill and , family spent Sunday, at Mr Ed Levis'. Miss Alice Stanley is visiting friends in Tuckeramith, Mr Thos Britton was around among old friends again the other day. Mr Robinson, of Strat- ford, is visiting at Wm Stanley's.

TEMPERANCE. -00 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 about 40 minu- tes, during whieh time he most clear- ly described the evils arising from imtemperance, using many very- ap- propriatelillustrationeeto show to what depths this curse will plung its v ie - time. After the address 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. Miss Nelly Courtice is spending a few days in and near the village. hir 5 March 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 hun(er) up. Several of our citizens are in Goderich, attend- ing to District and Missionary work of the Methodist church. About the latter end of March some unknown person called on Mr Win Wilson, a well known money lender; who lives on the 4th conces- sion of West Wawanosh, about two and a half mita; east of the village. He procured a note for PO and bear- ing ,8 per cent intertest,purporting to be made by James Mallough in favor of and endorsed by Thos Anderson, two well to do farmers of this section. -The stranger represented the he was a son of Mr Anderson and that hie 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 all was not right, and upon en- quiry learned that a clear case of forgery bad been perpetrated. An arrest and committal bas been made, but no one believes that the person accused is the guilty party. Zurich. No.—Mr Peter Wagoner le im- proving.

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 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 be 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 11 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. • I 11Q tieVes7senlee laser ei.eCne rap in advance Londesboro. s . onau—We have made arrangements whereby the Nzaw VIIIwill reach I.zondes- ore every Thursday evening,,instea,d of E'riday morning, au heretofore, end eubserib- re can obtain it that much earlier NOTEB.—Mrs E.

At their reg- ular meeting on 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 his spring delivery of trees, shrubs, small fruits, etl. and he certainly deserves credit for the energetic way in which he has pushed his agency, and the favorable impression he has made on bis 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, Miss Bar- bara Boa'att, daughter of Mr Jae 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. NOTES.—Mr Geo Rutledge is tier. lonely ill, and but slight hopes are entertained for his recovery. Mr Rogers, whohas been a resident of our village for a short time, took hie departure for Clinton, but we believe he hi coming back ere long to take up his residence again here. Last Suns day there was it public lecture given gratis by two of the aged matrons of our neighborhood, at one of out chinches. On Tuesday evening tuba a lecture will be' giv n by Mrs Piet - ober, of Aimee tea , under the inn 0100 of the W F M °clay of gime bhtlreh, 1•3$ yth No, Blyth is not dead, al 000 would be lead to suppose onleekine over this very interesting paper, on the contrary, it has been very much alive of late. We have bad several sensation one after anether, but the excitement is subsiding, Mrs sirun- dy is quietly folding her arms and •the query is "tvuat's next." Business bee certainly been a little dull but reasonable people will expect that 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 by:all with whom he had busin- ess or social relations. The District Lodge of I. 0. G. T, held their Die. trict Meeting on Wednesday, which was largely attended by Delegates from all parts et 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 Clintonians in the village on Sabbath to hear Con- ductor Snider preach. Mr J. Brune -- don was in London last Saturday., Wingham. A dispatch from Traer, Iowa, announces the capture of a resident of Wingham, a hotelkeeper named Cone over, at Traer, for forgery. Conover was not much at home at Wingham, and when he did come home had lots of money. The hotel is and has been run by his wife for about 12, years. GONE AND DONE TT.—TWO or three weeks ago, the paper e Matti that Mr W. Flack was going ie 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 Mre Price's ; the next thing we knew he had taken his departure for Winni- peg, and although the winds and the waves were against him, he got there all the same ; and by ie 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 sae with hie partner for life in less 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 esteenied young wife all the pleasure and happiness that a married lite can afford them. 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 gees horae, takes his dinner off the end f)f a barrel in the wood ebed,end may be very thankful if he gets any at all, ec, taking things into consideration Blyth is in line with the rest 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 & Co. NOTES—The Wingham 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 A mbler is building a fine residence, the brick work is ra- pidly going on by the McGregor Bros, the building is on the corner of Joh n and Leapold streets, and will have a very fine appearance. Mr Smail is building a brick front to his residence; the stone work is now completed. We think that in the course of a few weeks there will not be a loose pebble the size of a marrowfat pea that" the young dudes off the tbwn, will not have tapped ot 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 'Bev - ere lesson young man,but a good one. The Amateur 'Theatrical entertain- ment in the town hall on Monday evening last, was a grand succees. Quite a nuracter 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. The Queen's birthday will be celebrated here next Monday; and a grand day's sport is expected. From another Correspondent. PEESENTATION.-012 Friday even- ing of last week a few of Mr M Beck- with's many friends, assembled at James McKelvie's to bid Mr Beck- with good bye. Mr John Gilespie was called to the chaiv, and in a few words made known the cause of the gathering. Mr W K Loutit, then came forware and read tbe following address and Mr A Sebastian made the presentation. To. MR.

Dame rumor, ever busy, hath it one. 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 tor him a friendly reception,may he be as suc- cessful ashis Blyth friends could wish. Miss Maggie McKellar, who has resided here for • a Dumber 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 merlin her usual good spirits. Wait for the let of July when Blyth will outshine everything. A Non- sterous 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, therens is plenty of time to prepare for it. The social held at the residence of Mr Re Haword, in aid of Trinity Church, was a decided Dumas. The weather was everything that could be desired, and judging from the sights and sounds it was a most en- joyable evening, especially to those interceded in fig cake and bananas, 4B13111. , 24th?

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 houkehold 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 west. 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 next 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 highlys 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 mast 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 Snnday, but thanks are due to those who worked' so hurriedly that there was a covering at all. While ehoir 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 amothered out, The dam- age is estimated at from fifty to one hundred donate. It was thought that there would be no service on Sunday, when the Rev W. F. Camp- bell very kindly offered dis 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 wortship. The firemen deserve tredit 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 case, shows what they can do when necessary. Ye Men of Huron, look to your laurels should our company visit Seaforth in Juno. NOrts.—A very pleasant time was spent at the resident° of Mrs R.
