During the morning service, there wilt also be a Reception into full membership, of those receiveded on trial, three months ago. Dr. Gundy's work in Wingham has not been in vain, for many during Itis pastorate here have begun a new life. Both Dr, and errs.

A Sudden Death. With startling suddenness caste the dean; of Mr. James Johnston, of Mild- may, on Wednesday evening last, at 9 o'clock, Deceased had been in itis nsual state of health until Wednesday morning, when he took a sick spell, but even this did not entirely incapaci- tate him from attending to his duties. In the evening, however, while eugag ed in family worship, he suddenly fell forward, anal expired almost immedi- ately. Needless to say his death leaves a vacancy in the town, and as township clerk of Carrick, which will be very difficult to f111, Mr. Johnston was 64 years of age, and leaves a widow and five sons. Bereft Of Father. Mrs. Fred. Johnston mourns the death of iter father, Mr, John Weeks, of the 2nd concession of Culross. Mr. Wocks had been in failing health for nearly eight months, and on Monday last passed away. He had been a re- spected resident of Culross for thirty- five years or more, and had passed the three score and ten range of human life. He was a member of Belntore Presbyterian Church, and in politics a pronounced Liberal. Besides a widow, he leaves two sons, who reside in Cul- ross, and six daughters, Mrs. Johnston of Wingham, Mrs. Gillather of Bel - more, one in Toronto, one in Cleve- land, and two at home. The funeral takes place to -day (Thursday). It is only a short time since Mrs, Johnston was bereft of a sister. Football Semi•Finals. The first game in the second round of semi -Finals, W. F. A., was played 00 Wingham park on Monday, 18th inst., between Listowel and Wingham Football clubs, and resulted in a win for Wingham by a score of 8-1. The round will be finished at Listowel on Thursday (to -day). The locals played a hard, steady game. The defence was strong and sure, the forwards combining for several good rushes. Miller, Ansley and Aikenhead did the scoring for the home team. Wingham, Listowel. McArter Goal .. Arnold Deans Backs. Stewart Mitchell. . Ramsay Cruikshank..Half Backs.

This choice assortment at Mason's Fair. S. 0. S. Excursion. The excursion on Friday to Kincar- dine, under the auspices of the Sons of Scotland, was well patronized along the line. Early in the day, rain was threatened, but the weather proved fair, and the gathering at the lakeside was enjoyed. The Wingham Bowlers played with Kincardine, winning by a score of 16. The rinks were as fol- Iows :—No. 1—H. O. Bell, F. Paterson, 3. H. Chisholm, A. M. Crawford -(skip) —11 up. No. 2—A. C. Hilborn, G. C. Manners, L. Kennedy, D. T. Hepburn (skip) -5 up. The afternoon of sports was the chief attraction. Among other games, Wingharn and Kincar- dine Lacrosse teams played a League match. The game was rather rough, and ended in a victory for Wingham, on a score of 2-0, It might have been more, but the Wingham boys report the game so rough that they ran risks of getting their heads broken with their opponents' sticks. From New Ontario. Mr. Thos. Black returned last week from a trip to New Ontario, and showed the Advance specimens of co- balt, silver, gold and copper, with which that region abounds. Mr. Black went as far as New Liskeard, where his son-in-law, E. Sackrider, resides. The latter is well-known in the vicini- ty of Belgrave, having been G. T. R. agent there for some time. He has taken up land, and has also done some prospecting, and we understand that he sold one claim he discovered for the handsome sunt of $8,000, and is still after more, Mr. Black says that, though there is some good land, there is very little attempt at farming, and the people seem to prefer paying $18 a ton for hay, brought in by rail, rather than clear the land and raise it for themselves. The railway is now open sixty miles beyond New Liskeard, a place that, a few years ago, was thought away beyond the borders of the business world. Mr. Black says the mineral wealth of that district is wonderful, and prospectors are busy searching out claims. A fortunate find puts money in a prospector's pocket, but everybody does not be- come wealthy. Of course there nee privations and difficulties ; the mos- quitoes and black flies and getting aronnd in the heavy clay after a rain, being among the drawbacks, IPL S.'

Schafer of Wa- terloo, Lamont and Walsh of Berlin, Rose of Guelph, McBetlt of Wood- stock, and a number, of others whose names we did not learn, They Did Well. The Brussels Post has this to say of Wingham Football team:—'By com- mand of the W. F. A. Executive, the first game that was played in Brussels against Wingham was ordered to be played again, and Friday or Saturday evening was the choice to play the game. Wingham refused to come on Saturday and so the match was called for Friday evening, with Brown Jack- son of Seaford* as referee. The Wing - ham boys came down minus a player and played the Brussels team 10 men to 11, and certainly put up the best defence that has ever been played on Victoria Park. About 6.10 the rain started and it came in torrents.during the whole game. The Brussels team started off strong and some good shots were put on the visitors' goal. In a scrimmage at the Brussels goal Aiken - head shot and the ball hit the corner goal and' went in, and that was the end of the scoring. During the last half Brussels put shot after shot on the goal, but McArter was there to stop the shots, ably assisted by Deans and Mitchell. During the game two footballs were bursted, owing to the wet weather. The Wingham boys de- serve credit, as they have won 2 games, tied 1 and lost 1; and play in the semi-flnals next week against Mil- verton. We wish the Wingham boys success, as the boys who played on the team Friday night here were a gen- tlemanly lot."

The Walkerton Telescope has this, regarding a former resident of Wing- harn :—Mr. Harry Day returned from the West on Thursday, and is quite an enthusiastic Westerner now. So far as he can see, the country is going right ahead the same as it has been doing the last few years, and the bum- per crop of last year will be repeated again this year. There is no let-up to the in -rush of immigrants, every train being loaded down with them. As for himself, Mr. Day made splendid pro- gress with getting in his crop, He landed at his ranch on the last day of March. A few days were occupied in getting things in shape to go to work, but he had finished. seeding 870 acres of wheat and 65 acres of oats by the second day of May. When he left the grain covered the ground so that he could hardly see it. He sold nine horses at a good profit, and intends to take up another carload when he re- turns early in Jnly.
