Marshall something 4 Walt into the separator, breaking two concaves and the grate. 'This is hard luck for Mr Bennett in the commenc- inent of the season, but the old saying "a bad beginning makes a good eliding," may it prove true in this in- stance, as Mr Bennett has secured one of the best threshing out -fits he epuld find regardless of expense; may success follow his efforts. ACCIDENT.—As Messrs Fred and W. Toll were retorning home from Blyth, last Tuesday evening, their horse took fright, causing some of the harness to give way, when it became unmanage- able, upsetting the buggy in the ditch.

OF INTERESTING NEWS Front all parts of the Couuty—by widelrawoke and lively Correspondents Porter's Hill. NOTES.—No doubt but the school house is finished, the Pet paid off and the war pain to brush laid aside. Well sir, after the news of a certain marriage down the line, I thought the other evening I was going to get material for quite an interesting account of another runaway bride, as in the hazy distance 1 saw the forms of two riders on horse back approaching me, one of which was a lady's (forin I mean), but I was disappointed, for I found it was only two members of a ridingschool that has been started here. We are sorry to learn that Mr J. Jorden's eld- est son's erne which was badly broken some time since, is not progressing as satisfactory as at first anticipated; fears being now entertained of its !w- ing stiff from the elbow. Kippen. • NOTES.—A large number from here attended quarterly meeting at Hill's Green on Sunday evening.

Owing to the loss of Drysda le appointment, which has been put ou Bayfield circuit, it having paid. $70 lite, year, the minister's salary for this year is $650; it was $700 lasayear; this circuit is paying $233.35 more foir salary this year than it did the year before Mr Irvine came. and feels un- able at present to make any further advance. The committee appointed report having erected, during the quarter, a beautiful fence, tosting $40, around the parsonage property in Hen- sel'. DIED IN ST. PAUL.—On Friday last Mr. John Whiteman, of Stanley, near Kippeu, received a telegram from St. Paul conveying to the family the sad news of the death of their eldest son, John. It seems that Mr. Whiteman, who was about 24 years of age, had been in St. Paul for about four years, where' he held are -lee -sensible situation as book-keeper in a large clothing es- tablishment. He took ill of inflamma- tion of the bowels on Wednesday and died on the following Thursday night. The remains were taken home and in- terred in the Brucefleld cemetery on Tuesday. He was a most ex'empliary and promising young man, and his sud- den doateevea.s &se�ie blow to his pa- rents anis. Thefollowing letter WaS niqei 11bv Maand Mrs. Whiteman from the 'Rev. F. Doran, of. St. Paul, pastot. Of the church of which the de- ceased was a member. It speaks for itself and needs no comment: 1JEAR PRIENDS,—I write you these few lines to express something of the great loss and sorrow which has come to me personally and to our entire church in the sudden calling away of our beloved friend and esteemed Chris- tian worker. 13y his cheerful. pure and unselfish Christian life he had won a large place in our hearts. He was earn- est and faithful in itll his Christian du- ties. For twayears he had been assist- ant secretare of the Sunday school, an active meniber of the King's Sons, always present at the 'Epworth League meetings And the public services of the Church. His employer, Mr. Hudson, was deeply touched at hie death and said to ine that he had been with him four years, and that James was not capable of doing e wrong act. As soon as 1 learned of his illness I hastened to his room, but was not permitted to speak to him, as he was very low, and the physician hoped that absolute rest might give him etrength to rally; but God, our heavenly Father, had.ordered otherwise, and four hours after he was not, for God had taken him. Every- thing was done that human skill &mold do. A few minutes after thespirit had taken its flight 1 entered the silent chamber where his body lay beautiful in inuocence. Tbe King's Sons tenderly watched over the body, bore it to the church where touching tributes in words and flowers were offered. Then they fellovved the remains to the tfain in Silence and tears. Dar friends, weep not as they who have no hope. lie was beautiful in life, and in death the light Of heaven was upon his brow.

Miss Aggie McGurva, of Clinton, is spending a week rusticating with Misses Clara and Hattie Middle- ton. The trustees of No. 10 school have succeeded in obtaining the ser- vices of Miss Eva Jenkins as teacher the remainder of the year. Mr Geo. A. Cooper and Will Graham sport new buggies. Mrs T. Cook is spending a week in town. Mrs John Delves, jr, who has been poorly most of the sum- mer, is now around again and greatly iniproved. Mr W, Falconer, of 'Wing - ham, paid friends in this vicinity a flying visit; Will is always a welcomed visitor. Owing to the council losing the building that had been used as their meeting place some other place has to be secured, school house No. 9, as it is known, has two apartments, one of which has not been used for some time, now it is talked of by sonie iatepayers that as this is it cordial - place, and could be obtained at a small expense, it would be wise for the coun- cil to use this for the meetings. Miss Lizzie Elliott, who has been in Gode- rich for some time, has returned home and will remain for some time. Mr G. Cole and children, of Toronto, are visiting at his brother Peter's and oth- er friends in this vicinity. Arthur Cantelon, local agent for the White- man Pea Harvester, started one of the Harvesters at work one day last week on the farm of Geo Miller, before a number of spectators, all of whom spoke of the Harvester in the highest terms; Mr Cantelon has placed quite a number of the Whiteman Pea Har- vesters in this township the last two weeks. Varna NOTES.—Mr Colings, of Mitchell, a student of Toronto University, is vis- iting at Mr Morrow's. ACCIDENT.—An accident happened last Saturday, which might very easi- ly have been a very expensive affair, but fortunatley nothing serious hap- pened, only a few hours delay. As Mr A. Reid was going up a hill after cross- ing the bridge on the 5th con.,Stanley, the double -tree broke, and the engine run backwards down the embankment and stood right on end. He had to get a blockandtackle, and_ _drew_ her sip. all 0. K. without a brake. GARDEN PARTY.—What is readily conceded as the best garden party ever held in this neighborhood took place here last Tuesday, in the grounds of Mr J. B. Secord, kindly lent for the purpose. The weather, although threatening in the morning, turned out beautifully line towards evening. There was a very large attendance from all directions, there were about 600 people from Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich, Exeter and the district. The Rev F. G. Newton, the popular pastor, acted as chairman for tha entertain- ment. The proceedings were enliven- ed by the splendid band of the 33rd Batt. of Seafox.th, who_were neither grudging nor backward in their ap- parent desire to make the occasion one long to be remembered; their kindly courteous and gentlemanly lehaviour was thoroughly appreciated and added much to the pleasure of the evening. Mr Will McLeod, whose genial connt- enance is always the signal for fun, enlivened the proceedings with some of his best songs, which were the bet- ter appreciated because his usual good taste furnished plenty of fun without vulgarity. Mr and Mrs McKenzie fav- ored ns also with some very nice violin selections. Misses Addie Arm- strong and Maud McNaughton sang a very pretty duet, and , the choir also furnished two or three choice selec- tion. The tables were beautifully de- corated with flowers and abundantly supplied with refreshments. No pains were spared by the ladies of the con- gregation (St. John's church) who had evidently worked early and late to earn the well merited success, which crowned their efforts. Proceeds of the evening, $80. Exeter. FIRE.—The Exeter Milling Co's mill, store -house and contents were totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning about one o'clock. Loss about $20,000; insured for about $15,000. The origin of the fire is unknowe. The inill waa just shut down at nine o'clock Mon- day night for repairs. Asliffeld NOTES. —Messrs Thomson and Smith have bought a thrashing machine, and will, no doubt, do their share of work. Mr Samuel Brown, 12th con., sold last week 39 head of cattle for the English market, realizing it good price. Mrs Wm Ketehie, 12th con, has, been very ill with sciatica, but we are glad to hear she is somewhat better. The first threshing done in this vicinity was at Mr Smith's, 12th con, West Wawanosh, last week. The farmers are busy taking off their spring crop; it ripened veryfast after that very i warm weather n July. Chiselburst. NOTES.—.Iohn Shepherd and Ilugh Chesney are shipping two car loads of cattle to -day. Harvesting will soon be done; the oats are nearly all cut; the crops are unnseally good this year.

Sides were chosen by Messrs Cole and R. G. McGowan,, when Mr Cole's side came of victorious by about two rafters. The frame work was done by T. Armstrong, and went together without an error. 4011118SVille. From an Occasional Correspondent ERROR.—A slight error occurred last week in connection with the report of the fire. Instead of reading the "eighth" time that Mr Mude was burn- ed out it should have read the "fourth" time. SOCIAL.—The Woman's Missionary Society, at their monthly meeting last Wednesday, decided to have a lawn social at the residence of Robt Ache-. son, on or about the 23rd of August. Further notice will be given when ful- ly decided upon. LEcTunE.—The lecture on Wednes- day evening, given, by Mrs Cuylar, under the auspices of the W.M.S., was largely attended in spite of the wet weather. The lecturer gave some very' interesting incidents of her life in British Columbia, and all seemed much -pleased -with the -address, - CHURCH NOTES.—The services on Sunday were a decided success, judg- ing from the number who listened to Mes Cuylar both morning and evening. In the morning she preached it clear forcible sermon Item the text, Isaiah 60, 1, "Arise, shine." In the evening she gave a number of her experiences as Missionary among the Indians. PARALYSIS. — Last Thursday Mr M tide was taken with paralysis of the brain, one side of his body being en- tirely dead.

As he was gettffig on the horse -rake, the back- hand of the harness broke and let the shafts down, (arising the pony to start. Mr Jervis was knocked over and one wheel running over his body while the teeth dropping, caught and badly tore his face and shoulder. His son hurried to hint and found him unconscious, stiff and apparently dead, in which state he remained for over fifteen minutes. He was removes] to the house and medical aid was summoned. No bones were thought to be broken, and he now is doing favorably. The pony was severely cut around the legs and the rake was completely broken. While Mr Jas. Ford was backing a drill out of the barn, the tongue hap- pened to strike him rather forcibly, resulting in a badly cut lip and several broken teeth. LtinellesbOro. NorEs.—The NEW ERA, usually ab- solutely correct, is said to have been n. trifle astray in one of its items last week; we are glad to know it, for this is one of the few cireurnstances where- in we would sooner be wrong than right. George .Newtob and wife, of Wingliath, were among old friends on Sunday. TEMPLA118.—The following are the officers of the 1.0.0.1'4 Lodge for the corrent quarter:—C. Te -Edna Allen; V.

Stanbury, returned home :t week. \ Mr Yellowlees, Clinton, spent the civic here; he came by way ,of Brucefield. Mr Alex, Ross, wife and child, ot Buffalo, are the guests of his brother Murdock at present; the lat- ter's daughter, Tiny, who has been stopping there for about a year, re- turned with them. Miss Logan, of Windsor, is visiting her father, Mr Wm. Logan. Mr Sam. Baines, who has been spendingea three weeks vaca- tion here, reSurned to Brooklyn on Saturday. Mr Chas. Simons left last week to try the efficacy of the Preston Springs, for rheumatism. Miss Motz, of Berlin, is the guest of Miss Wild' Sauble line. Miss Fanny Townsend, Orillia, was a guest at the residence of her uncle, Dr. Stanbury, for a few days this week. Mr Graham Moorehouse and wife are down from Goderich, the guests of T. J. Mcorehouse. Mr Brown, London, is visiting his cousin, Mr Don- ald McKenzie, at present. Miss Reta Stanbury left for a trip to Toronto on Wednesday, Mr Edmond Westlake had the misfortune to hurt his back while working- on his farm lately, but he is now on the mend. Miss Hastings, Toronto, is a guest at the, River hotel. Messrs Eldridge Kellem and Walter Willis and Miss Libby Wilson, of Sea - forth, are the latest arrivals at the Commercial. WAVELETS.—Two jolly crowds from Clinton drove over on Wednesday of last week; one put up at the River hotel, and the other at the Albion; both seemed to enjoy themselves well. The Salvation Army may have been inju- dicious in coming with their. mueic so near one of our churches last Sabbath evening, but there was no necessity for protests being urged before the assem- bled congregation; there are quiet means for such ends. They say the new school house is being built, but it must 'be like Solomon's temple, for during the past week not the sound of a hammer could be heard. A number pieniced here on Friday last, but were slightly "wetted" before getting home. When is Bayfield's civic holiday? eves rybody is watching for it. The visit- ois at the Commercial hotel are not going to be behind those of the River hotel; during e the rain on Friday last they too gotup an impromptu concert, which was not behind the other one in point of merit. Mr Dan Wilson ship- ped a pair of cattle from Brucefield, this week, which weighed :3690 pounds. I lolled upon the banks at eve, And grand old Huron 'fore me slept; Sky diamonds sparkled to relieve The sombre shades that round me crept. The fish boats at my very feet At anchor lying all sublime; The bridge that makes the two banks meet, The hill that lovers love to climb. It is a favorite pastime at our resort to take a quiet stroll, maybe meditat- ive, more often inquisitive, to the lake, on a quiet summer evening. We are in many points built the same as most people, especially in this one respect, with the exception in our favor, that our inquisitiveness may be excused, by the fact that we are a reporter, and "they" hava_enecial privileges. The scenes that meet our eyes down there are fit only for silent meditation. The ordinary way of getting to Sunset Point is along Lover's Lane, but we prefer taking a back street? so as to avoid all chances of danger, and of Eossible detection, since the reporter's tailless in Bayfield must be kept a dead secret, till everything comes out in the paper, and then 11 then his is to look innocent and blame some one else. When once at Sunset Point, we are entertained by a variety of hiteresting sights, and by a concord of "sweet" sounds, which rise and fall on the still nese of the night, like the ripples of a glassy lake as they play on the pebbly beach. A vast sheet of blue water ex tends to the horizon, richly colored with the last rays of the setting sun, and across the expanse is the unsub stantial golden path which leads from us to the sinking orb. We lie. in rap- turous wonder till a white sail inter- cepts our view, and we heat a happy company of visitors reviving the lapt of some worn out melody; we feel veey much like dropping over the bank, and enlisting with McGinty as one of Nep- tune's chore boys, when we might sit on the crest of a wave and hear our fate sung for generations, by brave men and fair women who come to visit Bayfield. But jut then the echo of a more refined note reaches our ear. Phis time it comes from the hotel par- lors, where we learn that a concert is in progress. We have to depend on the stage manager's report, which, it afterwards turns out, is altogether too flattering to some, and we are coyly brandished with "blarney." Others feel' sorry that they were not there at all, or at least did not take the part attributed to them. We feel sorry too. COMMERCIAL TIOTEL, Bayfield, Aug. 9.
