Goderich Township.
N
oras.—Mr Jennings, who is sup-
plying in Rev. Mr Deihl's place,
delivered an eloquent aermon in the
English Church, Middleton's ap-
pointment, on last Sabbath. A num-
ber of our young people attenddd
Rattenbury St, Church, Clinton, last
Sabbath evening to hear the sermon
delivered by Conductor Snider, and
were much pleased. We notice some
of our threshere leaving their engines
on the public road, greatly to the
annoyance of passers -bye In some
cases severe accidents -might have
happened. There will be no service
in the Methodist Church (Cole's
appointment) owing to the quarter-
ly service*being held at Bayfield.
Fawners are at work at the barn
of Mr George Miller, which when
finished, will be hard to beat. Mrs
James Lindsay, of the 16th, had the
misfortune to get her thigh bone
broken on Monday, by being thrown
out of the buggy.
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era
notice that one of your
Holmesville correspondent takes ex-
ception to the account as furnished by
the CI ederich township correspendent,
of toe foot ball match which was to
hat -,-- been played -between the Clear
Grits,of the 16th con,and the Beavers,
of Holmesville. He says the Beavers
have not forfeited the match, nor
neither did they show any white
feathers. Well, I will not contradict
him, but will let your readers be
their own judges in the matter, after
they have beard the facts of the case.
He says that the reason the match
did not take place was owing to a
misunderstanding. He, however, ne-
glected to inform the public that he
misunderstanding Was all -on the side
of the Beavers, and had nothing
whatever to do with the Clear Grits.
In the first place it was a return
match and we gave the challenge, the
game to take place on our grounds on
the 18th, which they admit was fin-
ally arrabged for. Well, according
to appointment, our teammet at the
appointed time. but no Beavers show-
ed up, neither did they Rend us any
worderegaeding their non-appearance.
esSorineeas. 004 holes -then drove into
Clinton; where they met with one of
the Beavers, and when they ask -ed
him about the matter he made light
of it andseald they were not going to
playele, ands -besides he says "you
certainly do not -intend us to play on
your ground," giving as an excuse
• that the Clear Grits had practised
on said ground. Weighty excuse!
Just imagine when the Hurons, of
Seaforth, tient a challenge to the
Scots, of Toronto, for a return match
on the grounds of the former, what
would you think were they to have
sent such an answer as this. We
will play a return match with you,
but not on you own very fine re-
creation ground, but we will meet
you on the driving park on Tom
Lapslie's farm, north of the town.
Why they would be matte the laugh-
ing stock of all the sporting circles
of Ontario. Well then, again, some
time during the evening two other
members of the Beaver team made
their appearance on the ground and
said they .never objected to play on
said grounds, but said they knew
nothing about the match,although at
that time it had been arranged for a
week previous; and we know for a
fact that the Beavers had several
practices during the week. Now on
whom does blamil.rrest? On the
captain of the Beavers on the club,
or on the Clear Grip? •Then again
your correspondent says that at the
earliest mail the secretary wrote the
Clear Grits explaining their non-
appearance and expressing their
.willingnees to play the match in Mr
Hick's led, several miles out of
reach of either club. There was no
explanation, but simply that little
pet word l',...understanding If the
Beavers fo?sJany reason whatever,
trivial though it might have seemed,
had sent word in a manly way, the
day previous to the time set for the
match, their opponents would have
swotted it, but after allowing the
Clear Grits to meet and firid •out re-
garding their failure to put in an ap -
pearance as best they might, they
consider that they were quite justifi-
- ed in not noticing the communica •
awe as a club that would act in the
afilli.e manner once would be capable
of repeating the act. Now we allow
your readers to judge for themselves
regarding the misunderstanding.
Truly yours, CLEAR GRrTT.

HONOR To WHOM HoNoR IS DUE,—
It bas been represented through- the
columns of some of the local papers
that "the council has erected a bath-
ing house on the beach." This, as
we understand it, i not exactly the
case, though the reeve was one 9f the
chief agitators of the movement. It
was not erected at the'expense of the
toivn, but by Mr Castle, with the as•
sistance of some of the citizens. who
wished to make Bayfield more at-
tractive by facilities for bathing.
HA Minx SCA DA L.—With all the
investigations going on in Ottawa,
and the notorious scandals brought
to light there, we hear nothing of a
scandal that was perpetrated in Bay-
field harbor. Is there indeed no just
cause for an investigation heresure-
ly there is when we look at the'hepps
of money thrown away, upon useless
work on the piers. At present a bar
of Band fills a rent in the north pier.
Their dilapidated appearance forms a
.veritable pre -constructed monument
to a corrupt and dying government..

A SEVERE WOUND. -- While a
young man, named James Hamilton,
was working at his saw in the Union
Factory, on Monday last, a piece
that he was ripping, kicked 'back
from the saw and striking him on the
hand between the thumb and front
finger, forcing itself twelve inches in
length through the Mina,- the piece
would be about half an inch thick.
Ierreo-ifierOrss.—Mr R- Elliott, of
the Timers, has been improving the

ing shutters put on. Mr Fretwell,
owner of the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Salvation Army, has

improvement.
NOTEs.—The Salvation Army clue -
ed their carep met tieg butt Sabbath,
which was very largely attended.
Mr Reading is having the cottage,
lately purchased by him on the cor-
ner of Edward and Shiner -streets,
moved several feet north and west,

lar under it; this will add very much
to the appearance of his property.

Friday last, which resulted in favor
of Wingham boys by two goals.
Hs's (S)KILLED.—A short time ago
a rabbit was caught in a trap and as
the animal had one of his kgs fract-
need it was thought well to take it
up in all haste to the nearest surgeon,
consequently it fell to the lot of one
of our aspiring young medical men
who it was known was anxious to
obtain practice in this line, and the
operation of setting the bone, was
immediately begun. Chloroform had
been administered, and when the
youthful pupil of Esculapins had put
on all tbe scientific touches worthy of
his great master and was only wait-
ing to be asked his charges, it was
quietly remarked by a would be
admiring' onlooker that "he was
(s)killed in the ase of Chloroforrd";
the animal's life had fled to record
this difficult operation amongst its
departed friends.

gaged for next year, the present
year is the eighth one during which

AcToes.—The circus on Friday, o f
last week, was very largely attended
by the to esnepeople, as well as those
from the country. One of the most
amusing sights outside of the canvas
was the driving of the stakes into the
ground by twelve men striking in
their turn without even missing the
stake. The young mao going up
with the balloon was a wonderful
sight. He .caught the bar firmly in
both hands, and said let hergo, and
in less than a second he was swing-
ing in the air; when he would be
about one thousand feet high, he
caught hold of a leather strap that
was attached to the bar, in his teeth,
and let go with his hands and pulled
a red handkerchief out of eacb pocket
and waved them in the air. Hp then
turned his feet up and caught them
around the ropes that were attached
to the bar and hung his head down-
ward and waved the handkerchiefs.
He then turned and taking hold of
the bar, loosened the parachute from
the balloon, be then commenced to
descend, and came to the ground
perfectly safe, the balloon following
at some distance.

in a very satisfactory manner ; it was
decided to pay the pastor quarterly, in
full. At the close of the meeting the
board repaired to the parsonage, where
a sumptuous provision was catered by
Mrs Ayres, and a treat of ice-cream by
W. Crooks, conference representative; a
most enjoyable time was spent.

The Kippen parsonage Board met ia ese;
the church at 415 p. m. on Monday. Psee,
The Hensall Board having expressed ' • '-
their willingness to accept $180 ae r -
their share of the value of Kipper'
circuit parsonage, it was carried by
the Board that this sum be paid them.
It order to raise this sem of money
it was divided between the four ,
churches on Kippen circuit as
follows:—Chislehurst $60, Kippen
$50, Hills Green $40, Drysdale $30.,
The following men, viz. Wm Cads, ,
more, George Wren, Joseph Foster,
Wm Stevens, were elected trustees in 2
the places of Wm Caldwell, Chas,
Redmond, C. Alsworth and ustis
Melich, who leave the Board as the s
result of their transfer to another "
circuit. The Kipper circuit have
resolved to hold another harvest home
this year. Kippeo is becoming Buell
a centre of attraction for campe,
ok-
nies, etc., that it i chosen as the
place for holding said harvest home.
The date fixed ie Sept 8th, so as
to be sure all harvest is home.. '
Mr Irvine is going to try and make
this a success. The whole Quarterly 's
Board is going to assist him in the e`
effort. There will likely lie singinee -so 7,4

choirs, and a lecture by Rev W.

er. Then fo-r there

around parsonage lot. Preaching see -
vice in the Methodist church, is at
6.30 p. in. next Sunday. Six new
members have been received on trial,
by eonversion, since the beginning of
the Conference year.
DEATH—Mr Jas Woodman, to whom
references have been made several times
as being sick, succumbed on Sunday
last to the fatal disease consumption,
with which he has been ailing for about
a year. Deceased was the only son of
Mr Arthur Woodman, and spent con-
siderable time working in the States,
until he was brought home sick a short
time ago. His funeral took place from
his father's residence to the Londesboro
cemetery, on Tuesday, and was largely
attended considering the very busy time
of the year. The family have the sym-
pathy of the community in their sad
bereavement.
NOTES—Though it was generally sup-
posed that the call to Rev. Mr Ramsay
from Mount Forest would be sustained,
people here were sorry to learn that at
the Presbytery meeting on Tuesday,
this was done; Mr Ramsay will leave in
a couple of weeks, having the good will
of all, the enmity of none. Tho excur-
sion Thursday, will be largely patt'on-
ized from hero. Mr D. D. Birks is now
supplying the Methodist pulpit, and will
do so until Mr Fergnson returns. A
gang of men, some of them from Berlin
andsome from here, aro working at the
dam. Those who have threshed say
the wheat was never better, both as to
quality and qnantity. Our disconnt
shoemaker has left and gone to Blyth;
no doubt he will make D. terrible com-
motion in the shoo business there the
same as he did hero; it is quite a heavy
drawback to the community, but we
have to put np with such things.
