Wit such shipments as these occurring q uite frequently money should he easy in Huron. With other branches of industry keeping up fairly well there ought not to be any notice- able lack of the great lubricant. An Orchard Owner's Grievance. Mr. James Hearn was on Thursday last rather annoyed by some boys who had robbed his orchard of green fruit. DIr. Hearn has been good to the gaffers and given them, in the years that have rolled by, bushels and bushels of apples, but when they persist in invad- ing his orchard, damaging his trees and carrying off; the fruit before it begins to turn, he rightly considers he has a grievance, but just how to deal with it is the question. If he birches the young vandals their patents will in all probability raise Cain, and to send them before the 'beak would not mend matters much. For all that, one or More of the youngsters will yet have to be made an example of for the benefit of others. Choir Sunday. A very good evidence of the popu- larity of the Ontario St. Methodist church choir was afforded by the con- gregations which attended on "Choir' Sunday. At the a,nl,Seryice the commo- dious church was filled, but in the even- ing it was utterly inadequate to furnish seating or standing room for all those who sought admtittance. indeed, the sacred edifice was crowded at (1.31) and from that time scores had to torr .away, The programme was a brilliant one, the choir excelling itself, and the"duett byMrs. Gibbingsandl'Ir. \Vill Harland being beautifully rendered. Mr.R.Fos- ter's solo was • much arlt•nired, and Madame Wall so sang :is to ,fully sus- tain her reputation as the first vocalist in this county. Miss M,(:ibhings presi- dcdat the organ. Pastor Clement's five- minute talks were historical and timely. The - collections amounted[ to a good - round suer, but the officials are Much too modest to say just what. Choir Sunday, service of song, or call it what, you will, ought to take place oftener. indeed,many of those who were unable to get in -doors at last Sunday's ser vices haver•equestod ltrepetition,and we hope to be able' to announce 'shortly that their wishes will be complied with. Death of Mrs. J. Butt. Mrs. Josiah Butt, whose maiden minae was Priscilla Honey, and whose unexpected demise is mourned, was born in Cornwall, England, nearly fit) years ago. When !t girl of 17 she emi- grated to Canada with the rest of the family, and settled in the village of Hampton, near Bow•n anville, where a couple of years later she was joined in Marriage to her late husband, Josiah Butt, whose sudden death was noticed in these columns just three years ago, They moved to the township of Col, borne in thefifl ieswhere they hcwe l out a comfortable home from "the forest primeval" for themselves and family. About twenty-five years ago they sold out and bought the farm on the Base Line. north of Clinton, now own- ed by then' son, Ephraim. After leaving the farm they rt sided outside the corporation for a time, liut five years ago they moved into town. Two years later the subject of this sketch was left, a widow, since which time she has resided alone, until four weeks ago, feeling unwell, she went on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Rubs. D'Fcl1veen, in Stanley. She gradually grew worse until Saturday last when four of our most, skilled surgeons, Drs, Gunn, Turnbull and Shaw of Clinton and Sheppard of Bayfield, decided upon an operation for the re- moval of what proved to be cancer of the liver. The operation proved unsuccessful, and a few hours after the excruciating pains of the suffering one ended in death. Tho body was re- moved to the homestead, where l'nneral services were conducted by Rev's Clerhent, Millyarrl and Macdonald On Monday afternoon, and a large cortege wended its way to the city of the dead, whore all that was mortal of the de- ceased was laid to rest by the side of her life tompanion. The pall -bearers were old friends of the deceased, end the same who officiated at the funeral of her bite husband. They were : - Messrs. David and William Tiptady, Jas. Stevens, W. hardy, J. Morrish, Brickenden, Two sons and three daughters are left to mourn their loss of a devoted, loving, Christian mother. home Sunday morning Miss Maude Cautelon met with an accident which might have proved more serious. \V hen about half -way down, at a curve in the stairway, she tripped and fell to the bottoms, and struck her head which rendered her r1100118c'ious for a time lt)1(l has since confined her to bed. Crusade Against Tramps. The woolen of Nutley, New Jersey, have organized the Ladies' Horne Pro- tective Association and will carry on a vigorous crusade against tramps. A circular has been issued, In whieli at- tention is called to the large number of idle Men who are to be seen in the township. The circular says that while the loon lure apparently in quest of food and clothing (heir real object is to deal whatever they can. The Apple Trade Booming. The apple trade is booming.

Thos. 11ibbings 11) 11 was in- sured for four -hundred dollars. Mrs. Bruce and fiunily were not in the house when the tire took place, as they are summering at Bayfield. A Aarrow Escape. A couple of lightning rod peddlers had a narrow escape last Friday. While driving down the Bayfield (toad one of their span becoming ir- ritated by the flies, kicked over the tongue 11)1(1 struck the other horse. This sent, therm both off and they ran clown the (road at racing speed, not- withstanding the efforts of the driver to restrain them. By land hy,however, the wagon struck some obstacle on the roadbed which threw both men out of the rig, the driver in front of the fore wheel which passed over hint but as the hind wheel struck hint the team clone to a sudden stop, the lines, of which ho had not let go, having be- come entwined about him. When the runaways stopped the second peddler had `one of his legs between the spokes of a wheel, so if the reran had continued their flight longer the con- sequences might have heen serious. As it was bol h rnen escaped with bruises of which they will be free in a few days. Each of the horses luso was more or less bruised about the legs. Counter Petitions. The Doherty by-law agitation was in 0 sense renewed Monday morning when petitions pro and con were hawked about town for the signatures of the ratepayers. That in charge of inspector Paisley asked the Legislature not to ratify the by-law as now before it, but to better safeguard the in- terests of the ratepayers by insisting upon more adegnat.e security, or,in the event of not being ablo to ago so this session, to hold over the by-law until the next. The second and counter petition, with Councillor Taylor as its godfather, besonght the Legislature to carry out the wishes of the electors of Clinton as s0 Unanimously expressed on March 1 itis last in favor of the by -lane and the subsequent action of the council in regard to security for the loan of $23,000 to Mr. Doherty. Messrs. Paisley, Beydone, Doherty, Scott and ilolrnes went down in the afternoon to impress their views upon the 1egisiative ('011t111ttee, Barrister Brydone appearing for the PeisleY peti- tioners. The result of it. (111 was that the bill event through ,jest as it stood, and will undoubtedly receive its final reading before the adjournment of the house, which may take piece to -day. \VI1en the news reached Clinton Tnes- da.y p.m, that the bill was safe from molestation, there was (mite a jubilee down St the factory, and the trig whistle kept a tooting for some length of time. Prompt Payment. On Monday Mr. J. Taylor handed Mrs. W, Cooper a check for $1000, be- ing the amount of insurance held by her late husband in the Confederation Life. This is prompt payment, as the lamentable accident, which carried off Me. Cooper, happened on Tuesday of last week. 4 Officers of Ontario St. Epworth League. The following are the officers elected at Monday night's meeting of the On- tario St. Epworth League : President -Miss Lizzie Rath. Ist Vice, -Mrs. Thos. Seaward, 2nd Vice, -Frank C'lrttworthye 3rd Vice, -Miss Maud \Viltse, Rec.-See., -Albert Downs. Treasurer, -Athos Castle. Pianist, -Miss Clement. Twenty Organs l'er Day. The W. Doherty Co. are pushing their business with their well-known vigor and already, with a staff of one - hundred and forty, are putting out from sixteen to eighteen organs per day. Until the present their shipments have been for the European market, but they are now taking up general orders. The works ruts twelve hours per day and seem likely to do so for an indefinite time. Hailstones At Brucefield, Mr. Robert Doan was in Brucefield Tuesday ,just as the heaviest part of the storm passed over that village and he solemnly avers the hailstones were four inches -in diameter, we first under- stood hitt to say, though he subsequent- ly substituted circumference instead. But even by the latter method of mea- surement the stones were of a rather large size and must have made it some- what unpleasant Inc any one caught out of doors. Shipments of Cheese. There was a big shipment of cheese from Clinton station Monday rt. in. when the Holrnesville, Nile, Summer -- hill and Brucefield factories consigned to Thos. Ballantyne & Sons of Strat- ford. The Nile, or as is sometimes calle(b, the West Huron, factory is sev- enteen miles from Clinton so that the drawers must have been out of bed hotlines. The I-lolmesvile cheese, last half July, brought eight cents 'per pound, minus one -sixteenth, General Conference -Methodist Church, The General .Conference of the Methodist, Church in Canada will hold its next session in the Metropolitan church Toronto, commencing next. Thursday, Sept. 1st. This, the legislative body of the church, meets once in four years. It is com- posed of one ministerial delegate for every twelve ministerial members of each Annual Conference, and an equal number of laymen, each Annual Conference electing its own delegation. The Conference this year will have 2811 members, representing the nine Annual Conferences in the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland, and the Mission Conference in Japan. Amongst the many questions for legislation that will come before the Conference, the readjustment of the Missionary work and the "intinerancy" will be of great importance, whilst the election of the heads of the various departments of connexional work will call forth much interest. The Goderich District Ilas the honor of having font - ministerial delegates, viz., W. Rigsby, Illyth; 13. Clement, Clinton ; ,i, Wil- son, Goderich ; A. L. Russel, Seafot th. Only 0110 other District in the London Conference has so large a representa- tion. The Rev. Dr. Carman, General Superintendent of the Church, will preside. Mr. Mcllveen May Go West. Mr. It. Mcllveen of Stanley was in Clinton Tuesday, and in conversation with Tttt': Ntiws-Ri?Conn 1mu1 some- what, to say of his impressions of Mlini- tob11 and the Territories. To begin with, he said thralthe and his good [wife liked and were doing well in Stanley, where they had good and kind neighbors and numerous warm friends, but the boys were coal- ing up and it, was the duty of a parent to advance the interests of his family, and this, he believed, could he most easily achieved in the West. Mr. Mcllveen seems toile most taken with the Edmonton district, though, to the uninitiated, it does seen( at the tail -end of civilization. The climate there, lie says, is good, milder than on the prai- ries, and there is an immense amount of available land. Though remote, high prices are paid in the local market and seem likely to continue for years, owing to the influx of settlers, the opening of the mining country, and the demands of posts in the far -north. Mr. Mcllveen was much impress- ed by the importance of Edmon- ton as a for market, lots valued at $3,000 and $10,000 being not, infre- quently disposed of. All in all, we fancy he has about made up his mint to depart from the township where he has lived so long and over which he presided as reeve for four years and was councillor for six years longor. Little Locals. L)r. MacCailurn gave an address at Monday evening's meeting of the Rat- lonbury St. Epworth League.

'1'lle extensive improvements which the enterprising firm of Jackson Bros. have had in contemplation for some time etre now under way and when the carpenters get through the shelving of their already big store will be increased by fully one-half, it is estimated.
