The Electric Light Committee, (through the reeve) re- ported the elevation of the lights on Mary and Rattenbury streets; the lat- ter was not as satisfactory as had been anticipated, but it was thought that after the leaves got off the trees, no inconvenience would be experienced.

The ch'rrch was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreen. In the forenoon the pastor gave an address to the young, which was well attended by the young people. In the evening the church was tilled to its utmost, so that many had to stand around the outside. The recitations and singing were ably rendered and highly ap- preciated. Mr G. W. Thomson, of Goderich, assisted the program with two excellent solos. The new organ tendered very much to the success of the evening, and the best of all was collection of eleven dollars for mis- sions, which speaks for itself. R. T.

SiR,-Kindly allow us space in your columns to correct an error which ap- pears in a Goderich contemporary, re- lating to the masonry of the House of Refuge. The original maso.r; Mr E. Cudmore,was not discharged, as stated in the letter, but, having other press- ing work, left ours, which was contin- ued by Mr Walker, and, in the opinion of unprejudiced and competent judges, is a first-class piece of work in barn walling; not bad to look at, but tied and bonded for strength, also the walls are there to tell their own tale. Another error, or we may call it a malicious statement, is the suggestion that Mr Cudmore was discharged be- cause he was not "one of the boys." It Is hardly necessary for us to fill in your space with denials, but it is enough to say that we treat all alike, in endeavoring to give the county of Huron the utmost value which the contracts call for, without fear or favor. Respectfully yours, FOWLER & FOWLER, Architects. Crops in Japan have been ruined by rain and a famine is feared. Mies Mary McLaren, of Chatham, was drowned while bathing at Rondean. Mre. bracksford,of Hamilton, wee nearly killed by an overdose of pain -killer. The Manitoba Ministry will meet this week to c'oneider the second document re• ceived frr/h Ottawa. 1 WEST Oit:ON EXAM.

Mrs. Hyslop was a woman about 45 - years of age, and was respected wherever she was known. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth, and was a well informed Christian lady. Miss Annie Gray, daughter of Mayor Grey of Seeforth,has been appointed teach- er of a school 3 miles from Blyth. Miss Gray has secured one of the best schools in Inspector Robb's district and we venture to say she will do credit to herself as a teach- er. The trustees are to be congratulated on their excellent choice of a teacher. Wm. McCartney was a laboring man, and had been in the habit of coming into this section nearly every summer to do jobs of ditching. He resided with Robt. Shields of Wingham. On Monday be died from un- known cause and a post mortem examina- tion was held. It was found by the medi- cal men that a peculiar form of growth had caused an obstruction of the bowels. While returning from Wingham on Thursday, Simeon Vanncrman, of Morris, met with an accident. ft; appears that while passing a gateway near the road his horse took fright and ran away, throwing Mr Vannorman out of the rig on the hard road, He was rendered unconscious by the fall and was so seriously injured that he was unable to reach home untill Satur- day. Elmhurst Shorthorns. (From Live Stock Journal, for August.) Having heard much.regarding the newly imported bull, Royal Don, that Mr Biggins has recently purchased and placed at the head of the Elmhurst herd, and during a visit to that locality we called to see him, and must confess that we were by no means disappointed after inspecting him. Royal Don carries any amount of natural flesh, has a capital, meaty top, good ribs, and is particularly stylish' and handsome. We have no doubt but that he will nick well with the cows in Mr Biggin's herd. Royal Don was bred at K inellar, and was sired by Royal James, a bull that olid good service in that establishment, We counted something over twenty fe- males of different ages. The Matchleeses of Elmhurst, which have furnished someof the best breeding and show cattle, and have played such an important part in the his- tory of many of our best breeding herds, have thelargest number of representatives. Mr Biggins has not only a choice lot of in- dividuals of this family, but he has been es- pesially careful in their breeding, since he bronghtinMatchless 19th,by Senator(imp.), General Booth. (imp.) and Excelsior,(imp.). The two last bolls in service were of ortho- dox breed, and were well selected to top out the Sittyton-bred Matchleeses. Then there were several of the noted Vil- lage Blossoms, which have 'also been care- fully bred ;ae well as Kinellar Minas. Then there were two or three of Messrs Crnick- shank's Booth families, that at one time were bred at Lethenty. The calves were promising, and some neat, good -fleshed young heifers are coming on to take their place in and to uphold the reputation of the herd. Royal Don (64717) was exhibited at Man• itoba Provincial Show in Winnipeg in July. 1894. He won first prize and sweepstakes for the best Shorthorn bull of any age. He also took first prize and sweepstakes for best ball of any age at the South Huron Show in Brucefleld at the Spring Show in 1895. He is aired by Royal James (54972), and his dam is Lady Kintore, who won first prize and the Silver Cup at the Blackburn, Aberdeenshire Show in 1892, as the best Shorthorn, male or female of any age. An Important Visit. It is a well-known fact that many cases of Hernia (rupture) in childhood have been cored by the specialist whose announce- ment appears in another column -oases whioh others could not relieve temporarily even by retention of the parts. In fact, oases by ethers considered hopeless, while it has been this gentleman's good fortune to suooesafully treat all such, and any man or women of sense most acknowledge that an appliance that can accomplish such a result in an active, restless child-inoap- able of realizing its danger -must prove equally sno:esefal in even severe cases of adults who possess sufficient jndgment to exercise ordinary pare and intelligence. Your child's life, perbaps your own, may depend on this notice. Remember you most do something sometime, why not now ? and be made safe and secure, and no more trouble or anxiety. Don't mise this opportunity; should you put it off now e visit to Toronto means lose of time and considerable expense. Think of this, re- member that Dr. J. Y. Egan, the only rup- ture specialist in the Dominion, who has had over twenty-seven years praotioe in this one line exclusively, will bo at the Hotel Clarendon, Clinton, Wednesday, Ang. 21st, and at Brussels, American hotel, Friday, Ang. 23rd. The testimony of this gentleman's skill, furnished this office, is of a very high order, from parents, patients and physioiane in our own neighborhood. New Fan cy Goods.
