TUB LAND SECURED. --The purchase of 110 Picket'e;,farm on the Loadon road, for the County House of Refuge, has been completed. - PASSED. - The following teachers from this town have just passed their examinations at the Toronto Normal School: -Misses Leslie, Richardson, 11. J. and H. M. Holmes. TALL GRAIN. -The other day several stalks of rye were left with us, measur- ingseven feet in length. They were Su lled from a field on the farm of Mr. idney Johns, of Tuckersmith. LICENSES. - The Licenses commis- sioners for the West Riding met here on Saturday last, and sanctioned sev- eral transfers. They also granted a license to the new house erected for Mr Robt. Mason of town. IN THE WEST. -James A. Callander, formerly of Londesboro, writing from Hartney, Man., under date of June 2Sth says: -"Crops are looking a lot better since the late rains, and we are expecting a good crop, especially the later sown wheat. The early sown wheat is mostly out in head." A FINE Lam'. -Mr J. Ransford has imported from the old country a hang- ing oil lamp that is entirely different to anything in use here; the glass globe is at the bottom, as is also the flame, much the same as if an ordinary lamp had been turned upside down; it gives a strong light, yet one that is not hard on the eyes. ACCIDENT. -On the morning of the 1st a most unfortunate accident hap- pened to a fine mare owned by Dr. Gunn. While being ridden around it stumbled and fell, breaking its leg just above the fetlock joint. It was one of his matched sorrel team, and it is useless now so far as driving is con- cerned. LEAVING}. -Mr G. A. McKee, classi- cal master in the Clinton Collegiate, has severed his connection herewith in order that he may graduate at Toronto j iiversity. He has proved himself an cepticnally able teacher, and being ,zealous worker in other departments f moral advancement, will be much missed in town. DISLOCATION AND DEATH. - The other day an aged ttiy'tiameef -Beiek, who resided withAr Wm. Steep, slip- ped on the floor,rraand dislocated her hip joint. Thg,..di ck was evidently more tharhe could stand, for although ite healthy and rugged in other re- ets, she died on Saturday evening, d 90 years. The remains were taken st for interment. She was formerly Miss.McGee, of Goderich township. TgIsfP4BANON,-The spelling rn. in the tenaperaucelodge last Fri ay' proved to be a success, sides were led yJ. W, Moore, and D.'Smith, the for- mer being successful. There will be a debate this Friday evening. Resolved "that love has more influence than money." OUT OE Tal, ORDINARY. -Mr Chas. Girvan, ex -Reeve of West Wawanosh, was in town on Tuesday, looking hale and hearty. He is one of two sur- vivors of the old Huron and Perth District Councillors, Sheriff Gibbons being the other. Mr Garvin is still liv- ing on the farm he settled on 53 years ago. There are not many men in Union who have resided that length of time on one farm. THE CHIEF -A rather vigorous com- munication has been received charging the town constable with general neg- lect of his duties, and especially with not being present on Monday evening to suppress a disturbance that occurred on Albert Street. We are not aware that he neglects his duties, and while he occasionally has spare time on his hands, is more frequently kept so busy that he hardly knows how to get his work done. On Monday night he was delayed at the Skating Rink, and sent a competent substitute. However, as a public servant he must expect to be criticised, though charges against any public officer should be made direct to the council, to whom that officer is re- sponsible. LAID AT REST. - The Vancouver News -Letter says: -"Yesterday after- noon the funeral of Mr Peter T. Dunn occurred at the residence on Fender street, near Burrard. The services were conducted by the Rev. E. D. Mc- Laren, of St. Andrew's. These were not of long duration and were assisted by several representatives of the choir of St. Andrew's, of which congregation Mr Dunn bad long been a zealous and respected member. A large number of the citizens assembled at the resi- dence and though so numerous that the majority were peforce obliged to remain outside, their gathering and bearing manifested the deep esteem and regard with which deceased had been held in Vancouver, as well as the universal sympathy extended the ber- eaved family in their hour of trial. A mass of floral tokens almost hid the coffin. The cortege, which was of most noticeable length composed of the lead. ing citizens, was then formed and fol- lowed to the last resting place. Fur- ther mention of the deceased is al- most unnecessary. He had long been a resident and business man of this city, and his wide and extensive ac- quaintance was but commensurate with the esteem and confidence with which he was everywhere., eggarded, and his decease will be considered as the bereavement, not.,;,i his family alone, but of the entire community. [Mr Dunn was a brother-in-law of Mr Peter McNeiyr, •of Clinton.] FDNERALNOTES.-Postmaster Camp- il_,.aritL,,,W,,Proudfoat, Jot Goderich, tended the fuperal of Mr A. H. Man- g, on Tuesday. Mr Garrow sent 'a autiful floral wreath. Revs. A. wart, W. Smyth, J. W. Holmes, of wn, J. Edge, Goderich, and J. Gallo - ay Seaforth, were present at the ser- ces. The pall -bearers for Mr Joseph .Chidley were Messrs T. Jackson, sr.'R. Goats, sr., James Fair, sr., T. Tilt, Gode- rich, T. Bell, Wingham, and J. Broad - foot, Seaforth. Mr Chas. Girvin, ex- :,-.Beexp..ee' West Wawanosh, a warm personal friend of Mr Chidley's, was present at his funeral. It is remark- able that two ex -Reeves should both be buried within a couple of hours of each other. Mr J. C. Stevenson con- ducted both funerals. TowN COUNCIL. -The regular meet- ing was held on Tuesday evening last. The following accounts were ordered to be paid: T Shipley, cutting grass at Park, $1.50; W. Steep, unloading lumber, $3; J. Miller street watering for .two months, $50; R. Reynolds, salary, $30; F. Evans, teaming $4.30; J. Cook, teaming, $3.30;G.T.R. freight, $9.60; J. Beker, work, $39.67; N.

The special committee appointed to inquire into the alleged nuisance of the trees on the south side of the park, reported that they could .not see the trees to be a great nuisance and recommended that they be left as they are. This report was adopted. The Oharitycommittee reported an ex- penditure of about $15 for the month. The Clerk and Mayor were instructed to forward letters of condolence to Mrs Chidley and Mrs Manning, and the council adjourned. A HAPPY EVENT. -On Wednesday, June 27th, a pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mrs Andrews, Mary St. when her second daughter, Hester, was .harried to Dr. J. R. •Steep, of Winnipeg. The bride enter - Neel -the parlor on the arm of her uncle, Mr Russel Andrews, of Ottawa, and took her place under a large bell of white roses, suspended with white ribbons. She wore a dress of rich cream silk, with lace and pearl trim- mings and carried an exquisite bouquet of white roses. 'The bridesmaids, Miss Millie Andrews and Miss Susie Steep, in dainty dresses of cream cashmere and silk trimmings, carried bouquets of crimson roses. The groomsmen were Mr Arthur Jackson and Mr Rufus Andrews, The ceremony was very pretty, with very little of the usual form in it, performed by Rev. J. Turnbull, of Toronto, brother-in-law of the groom, assisted by Rev. W. Smyth. After receiving the congratu- lation of their friends all sat down to an elegant repast; the health of the bride was proposed by Rev, W. Smyth and drank to by about 50 guests; the groom responded in a neatlittle speech. The happy couple left on the 4.45 train amidst a tremendous shower of rice, old boots and good wishes for London, Toronto, Owen Sound and thence up the lakes to their future hcme, Win- nipeg. The bride was the recipient of a very large number of handsome and useful presents. Among the guests were Mr and Mrs Russel Andrews, Ottawa; Mr and Mrs Babb, Mitchell; Miss Southcott, London; Mr and Mrs Sonthcott and Miss Johns, Exeter; Miss Jincy and Mass Eva TTeattle, Godo - rich; Miss Susio Steep, Toronto; Mrs W.

THE, CLXAi'.'ON BZW • Mik "Make Hay While Sun„Shines” IIeadLqU.artrs Far Sporting Goo BICYCLES --Humber, Raleigh, Rudge Is a maxim to. be applied with. particular force to the dry goods business. But "hay making" time is past—now is Clearing out time, and for the next few weeks of summer business, 15 per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent, and in some cases even. 50 per cent will drop from the prices of all summer 1 stuffs. Our patrons will buy cheaply, our stock will be reduced. Successful Storekeeping does NOT mean gigantic pro- fits— t means doing business continually, constantly— r• selling seasonable goods, even at a loss—before carry- ing them over for many months. Not Habitually do we profess to sell goods at or below cost—we simply could not do it—butjust now, at this season, we are willing to take cost, or even less than cost, for many linesof summer goods, rather than carry them oyer another season. We have the use o#' the money they represent for six or eight months, and fresh goods for you next season. • You have an oppor- tunity to make your dollars go a little further thau usual.
