satisfaction of all conceraed. He briefly
addressed the audience, explaining the
cause of the gathering, and expressing
himself pleased that so many shodid be
present to do honor to the young lady
and the occasion. The Westfield choir,
'which I may say is excellent, then sang
"Raise the Flag," asong specially writ-
ten for the occasion. During the re-
tnainder of the ceremony the choir sang
a patriotic song after each speech I
may add here, once for all, that the
singing was, perhaps, the most interest-
ing part of the ceremony. Miss Jose-
phine Buchanan then read her essay -
the one that had won the flag; it was a
very neat composition, and was well re-
ceived. The Rev. Mr Swan then spoke
very briefly in praise of the essay, of the
occasion; and of patriotism ; he 'Is a very
pleasing speaker. Inspector Robb gave
George's Cross was the original flag,and
that in 1606 St.Andrew's Cross was ad-
ded, and that finally, in 1707, the flag
assumed it present form, when the
Cross of St. Patrick was interwoven
with the other two ; he said that he had
been a full private in the volunteers
during the Fenian raid of 1866, The
Rev. Mr Cameron spoke of the necessity
of teaching Canadian and British his-
tory more thoroughly in our schools, so
that our children might know why they
were prond of the old flag; he also ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the patriotism displayed in the essay,
and in the present aseembly. Ho was
followed by Rev. Mr Campbell, Blyth,
who, in very forcible terms, urged the
necessity of duty -duty to our country
under all and every circumstance ; he is
also a very pleasing speaker, and was
much appreciated by the audience. -
Ex -reeve Johnston, of NA awanosh, de-
scribed very graphically the excitement
caused by the news of the Fenian inva-
sion, and how all, Roman Catholics as
well as Protestants, shouldered their
muskets in defence of their common
country. The teacher, Mr 3. C. Reid,
then delivered a good address on pa-
triotism. Ile was followed by- Dr. Mc-
Laughlin, of Auburn, who spoke very
41beptably oh patriotism, on duty to our
country, and of the higher duty to our
heavenly king; he was glad to see the old
flag wave over our country, but was
pleased that while there were military
men present, he sew no "red cutts."-
Mr Kerr, one of the trustees, expressed
his pleasure that so many had come to
honor the school, which in future would
occupy an honored place on the map of
the Province. Mr Mitchell, of the Star
gave a history of the celebration; he
said that loyalty to the old flag had been
described as mere sentiment, yet all our
actions are the result of sentiment; had
lived on the other aide, but preferred
Canada to any country. The last speak-
er was Mr Ratcliffe, of Goderich, who
likened himself to the man who nailed
his prayer to the foot of the bed, and
who every morning pointed to it, saying
"them's my sentiments;" he agreed en-
tirely with all that the other speakers
had said. Totes of thanks brought the
proceedings to a close, butnot before a
young lady had photographed it from
several points of view. G.Q

was given by the different brethren.
Atter which they separated, each
Order followed by large crowds aur -
rounded the graves of their departed
brethren, until each grave was de-
corated with flowers, while many a
silent tear moistened the eyes of
mothers, wives, sinters and daughters.
After which they again formed in
a circle and the closing ceremony was
given by the brethren. They then
formed into line, the Foresters in
front, Oddfellows Bs the centre and
Orangemen in the rear. The band
played very suitable music, they then
returned to town and separated, each
going in a body to its own hall.
The Now MIA will be sent on a trial trip
to aow subscribers, for the balance of the
year, for 500 cash. This is a rare cbance.
SIIIIISSIt HOLIDAYS.
From the London Free Press.
For people who are asking themselve
the gnestion, Where shall we go for
the holidays? we have a word of help.
Perhaps they do not know that fifty
miles from London, on the shore of
Lake Huron, there is a lovely spot
called Bayfield, where rest and health
and quiet are to be found. Nature
has here been most lavish, and people
who know ,say there fs no scenery
superior to it in Canada. A pretty
river winds for miles between high
wooded banks, and widens as it meets
the lake. The village is scattered and
old, with many grassy walks and
lovely drives. English people say it
reminds them more of an English
village than any other they have seen'
in Canada. Boating, bathing, fishing,
driving, picnics, eta., are here to be
indulged in to the heart's content.
The artist will here find enchanting
subject for brush and pencil. The air
is pure, the malaria is unknown; and
those who come for a month or two
say they feel the benefit all the year.
Then, what is an important consider-
ation to many, board and lodging rates
are low, being only from $3 to $5 a week.
Americans say if it were on their side
of the line they mead soon boom the
place as a summer resort. This place
has been known but few years peat
as a resort; and each year, as it be-
comes more recognized as such, match
larger are the numbers that gather bore
to spend thein vacation. The hotels
have been repe.pered for guests. J. E.
Swarts' "River Hotel"ia so well known
we need say but little of it. E. Elliott
has considerablyimproved the appear-
anee and convenience of "The Albion-"
The "Commereial" has received a gen-
eral brightening up, and the proprietor,
R. 13ailey, purposes erecting a hand-
some verandah, which will add greatly
to the appearance of the house. Mrs
Sohn rerginioe bas leased the Queen's
Hotel And is prepared to accommodate
a good number of beerders, Mise Mary
Simpson is prepared to take beardetsfor
the summer,
Goderich Township.
AcciDENT.-On Saturday int
while Mathew Sheppard was loading
gravel in the pit 01 Wm Wise,
the bank gave way falling against
his leg and breaking it ' below the
knee.
Mr Peter Cole, who last week had
a eery severe wound inflicted in his
arta by a gun explosion, 'hi doing as
well as could be expected although
his arm la very painful.
Some ot our farmers have com-
menced cutting their clover, which
will be very light indeed they are
looking forward for a heavy second
crop.
Rev Robinson preached at Cole'e
appointment last Sabbath. Mr
Robinson is just entering the rninis•
try, may be meet with SIMMS,
Mr Harrivaell, while coming from
broke bis bicycle which will keep
him St home forsome time,
The early part of the first passed
off very quietly iii Hensel', very few
taking advantage of cheap fares to
neighboring to elle, but quite a num-
ber getting off the station here, but
in the afternoon ati was bustle and
excitement. Practice games of 402t -
ball -were -pleyed,--preparatioas-wer
nude by the Ladies' Aid Society of
the Presbyterian church here for a
strawberry and ice cream social, w hich
was held during the evening and was
well attendee as these sociale under
the auspices of the Ladies' Aid always
are. The proceeds amounted to $62.
During the afternoon also the Ep-
worth League entertained the mem-
bers of Mr. Casson's Saturday class to
a picnic in Mr.McTaggaree grove just
east of the village,wlaere the time wins
spent in swinging, croquet, fbotball,
races and various other amusements,
as their tastes -inclined, after which
they eat down to a sumptuous repast
prepared by the Epworth League. In
the evening a farewell and reception
service was held in the church. A
farewell for Revs. J. S. Cook, Ph. B.,
and H. N. Casson and a reception for
Revs, H. I. Fair and McGee. Short
addresses were given by each of the
reverend gentlemen above named ,also
by the chairman, Rev, El. Irvine, and
on behalf of the circuit by Messrs. J.
C. Stoneman and C. Myers. On
Thursday Rev. J. S. Cook, Ph. B.,
who for the last .three years hasbee
pastor of the Methodist church here,
left with bis wife for Ripley, their
new field of labor,to which they were
appointed by the late session of the
Guelph conference held in Berlin:
During the past three years Mr. Cook
bas by his earnestness, zeal and abil-
ity in presenting the truth and also
by bis free, hearty and social nature,
greatly endeared himself to the people
of the Hensel circuit. During his
pastorate, the fine parsonage in Hen-
sall has been built; the church re-
paired ; the congregation and mem.
bership greatly increased, the church
funds ae well as the minister's stipend
considerably increased. In the hearts
of the people as well as on the circuit,
Mr. Cook -has built for himself a last-
ing monument. But thotigh:Mr.Cook
labored ao earnestly and diligently on
the circuit he has not, as too many
do, forgot self improvement, but haa
been enabled to take the degree of
Bachelor of Philosophy, which was
awarded him last spring, and also is
well on in his examination to Bache-
lor of Divinity, which by his aptness
and stick-to-it-iveness he is euro to
win before long. On the same day,
Rev. EL N. Casson, Mr. Cook's col-
league for the past year, left for his
nevi field of labor, Fullerton circuit.
During the past year Mr. Casson has
proven himselt to be an earnest, in-
telligent and aneceseful minister, but
chiefly will he be missed by the young
people among whom he was an es-
pecial favorite, being president of the
Epworth League and organizer of the
Saturday class.
