d nd noFer-
nd

egg 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 ; Hartt beat
Ferguson S-6, Buggin beat Combe 6-8,
THE RIFLE. -Of all the sports there
is none more interesting than the rifle,
and there should really be a more
liberally patronized association than
that which has for years existed.
Every year a good prize list is arrang-
ed and competed for, but many peo-
ple seem to have a horror of the rifle.
Why this should he is hard to explain.
Of course the weapon is a dangerous
one if not properly handled, but there
is absolutely no danger in the case of
a regularly organized association. The
organization is under military discip-
line and rules and this of course means
safety to. all. At the annual meeting
on Friday night the old officers were.
re-elected. Just now there is some
difficulty about the ranges and a com-
mittee consisting of J. Emerton, N.
Robson, J. Johnston and H. Read were
appointed to secure a 200 yard range
and look after the long ranges.
TRAMPS. -Clinton was visited last
Wednesday by several tramps. As far
as can be learned there were seven of
them, rather tough looking characters.
On Tuesday night it is said they slept
in the barn of Mr. Peacook on the Lon-
don Road. On Wednesday four of
them called on James Stevens, Base
Line, and asked for a meal. Havia
heard of them being seen playing cards
on oithear the track Mr. Stevens replied
that they aright have earned their din-
ner while playing cards, and properly
refused the request. On Wednesday
night the party secured lodging in an
empty car and some of them made
night a terror to several outlying resi-
dents of St. John's Ward. At one
house they endeavored to gain en-
trance by raising a window. The in-
mates, however, were well armed and
the intruders were frightened off. On
Thursday evening the Chief wan in-
formed of the proceedings and along
,.wvqith a number of assistants made a
thorough search without reward. The
bast seen of the gang was seven of
them heading toward Brucefleld.

barrels of apples, the greater portion
of which will be for export trade.

R. W. Bro. Judge Toms who occupied
the responsible position of D. D. G. M.
for two years. He died, leaving be-
hind a name known throughout the
country for the honorable dealing be-
tween man and man. Asaudge he
was respected for his palpable fairness ;

ons, we *re bereft of his wise counsels,
and we will miss his judicial learning
and training at our annual communi-
cations,"

A year or two ago a lot of money
was spent in fixing tip a track for

race? People should realize that we
are behind the age, as regards a
bicycle club, when town coun-
cillors and school trusteeslay base
hall and the band plays for them.

"•Whdle working on the Exeter streets
Geo. Ilodgins was accidently struck on
the head withoa pick in the hands of
anothhir workman. He was rendered
insensible and narrowly escaped
death.
A Bayfield correspondent says :-As
we predicted our Orangemen made a
grand showing at the demonstration at
Seaforth, on the 12th, capturing first
prize for best lodge on parade, and
would have been awarded first prize
for hest flag, only that two prizes could
not be given to the same lodge.
A greatdeal of thesuccess of the Orange
celebration in town, and the excellent
marching, was due to the energy, tact
and ability of County Director of Cere-
monies, Bro. R. Scarlett. tie spent
fully four weeks in arranging matters
at a great deal of time and expense to
himself. After all he has done it is
found that he has come out $69 behind.
It is hoped that the brethren and citi-.
zens will not allow him to be at any
personal loss in the matter. We feel
certain that they will not.-Seaforth

From the New Haven, Michigan,
Sentinel, we learn that the only son of
Mr. W. J. Kemp, of that city, and
grandson of Mr. Walter Kemp, of
Seaforth, Was burned to death on Sun-
day afternoon, July 7th. The little
fellow had lighted a match on a stone
and his clothes had ignited from this,
and before his mother could get near
him to extinguish the flames, the flre
had done its fatal work. The little boy
was only five years and nine months
old. A couple of days afterwat ds) Mr.
Kemp was standing on the dock at
that place along with some others,
when he accidently fell into the water,
but was rescued by the bystanders.
An unfortunate accident took place
at Lucknow an the lath inst. about
four o'clock in the afternoon. The union
fife and drum bands of Kincardine and
Lucknow came up the street, headed
by J hnny Scott, the drum major of
the fgortner hand. They stopped in
front of McGarry's hotel and began to
play. The crowd from all sides rushed
around to see the evolutions of the
baton held by the boy drum major,
and enjoy the music. The large
balcony in front of the McGarry
House was a good point from;
which to view everything, and over
three hundred people came out upon
the structure, when it suddenly gave
way in the centre and between thirty
and forty persons were carried down
with it. Fortunately only a few were
badly injured. Among those seriously
hurt were Miss B, Campbell, near
Lucknow, who is reported better ;
Miss McLean of Ashfield ; Mrs. Van
Alstran, of Wingham, and Mrs. Robb,
of Bluevale. A number of others re-
ceived slight bruises, but how some of
them escaped fatal injuries is miracu-
lous. No blame should he attached to
the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Mc-
Garry, as he had several times during
the day warned the crowd not to go on
the balcony.
Port Albert.
Fishing is now the order of the day
and hundreds of fishermen from the
inland towns and villages are fishing
alongthe harbor for bass and off the
nortpier for herring and perch, and
big hauls every time. •
Picnics at the Port most every day
and people seem to enjoy themselves
along the lake shore very much.
Rev. Mt•. Ferrier, of Bervie, held
morning service here on Sunday last;
it is borrowed sermons we have now a
days since Rev, Mr. Jeans left for
Thorndale. "Church and State" is
pretty hard to tell when and how to
please. Theni Synod and Senate fly off
the handle too often.
The dry weather continues and what
little hay is iu this neighborhood is all
in the barns. No stacks, thank you.
Root crop, as also corn, &c., sown for
fodder is a failure. Fall wheat is now
cutting and will not he an average
crop. Other crops depend on the next
week's weather. To make the best of
it, it will be nip and tuck for the
fernier in this part of West Huron to
pull through.•

Mr. John Shepherd, our worthy
Reeve, left on Tuesday last with a
cargo of sheep and cattle for the old
country. The cattle will be in charge
of: Mr. J. Latta and the sheep in
charge of Mr. Robt. Varley. Mr.
Varley is an Englishman by birth and
has crossed the "pond" many times.
Mr. Variey has promised to bring out
to this country two blooming English
lassies, one of then) for a Tuckersmith
bachelor and the other for a Kippen

perous and pleasant voyage.

The fall wheat around here is a
