A new one was promised by the young man but was never given. A few weeks ago, Miss San- son, in ripping up an old pillow, found a ring which she showed to her mother, who remembered the event of over forty years ago. The ring was cleaned up and taken to Mrs. Carroll, who at once recognized it as her long lost treasure.

By dint of economy he managed to save enough to send for his wife and family of four children, and they ar- rived on Saturday evening. A few days ago a happy thought took pos- session of the minds of the Iadies of- the fthe Methodist Church, and at once laid the carpets, airainged tiro furni Removes To Auburn. Councillor Stewart is preparing to remove from Wingham to Auburn, where he intends opening out a stock of hardware. Auburn is a tidy little village and will soon have the C. P. R. daily service connecting it with To- ronto and the county town, hence there appears to be a good opening. Mr. Stewart has been a good citizen, and we regret the removal of this re- spected family from our town. The people of Auburn and vicinity will find Mr. Stewart a straightforward, upright business ratan. His many friends in Wingharn regret his remo- val, and hope he may meet with the fullest measure of success in his busi- ness venttn•e. The vacancy at the Town Council, caused by his removal, may possibly not be filled until next regular municipal election. A Cordial Invitation. The Huron Old Boys have requested us to give publicity to the following invitation :—"The Huron Old Boys of Toronto extend a most cordial Invita- tion again this year to all Hur'onites who attend the Exhibition here, to make their headquarters at the IL 0, 1). tent, 'Society Row,' Sept. 2nd to Sept. 8th inclusive, No pains will he spared to make both the old boys and the old girls from the old county welcome. La. \\'crossemgltatrn was billed to play with the St. Mary's Alert lacrosse team for the semi-finals, and they play Wednes- day afternoon, as we go to press, hence report ;must be held over until next week. The return game will be played, in \Vingbam on the 88th inst., and will be quite an attraction. By the way, that is the day of the eclipse of the sun, and this may be a favora- ble omen for our boys. We expect them to put a total eclipse upon the hopes of their opponents from St. Marys. Still, it might possibly work the other way, but we hope not. St. Marys recently defeated Seaforth and are winners of their district, Hence they are locked with 'Wingharn, the champions of this district, for the semi-finals. The game on the 30th will no doubt draw many spectators from a distance. Death Of. M rs Smith. After a protracted and painful ill- ness, Mrs. Hiram Smith, of Lower Wingharn, passed away early on Mon- day last. Deceased was born near Picton, Ontario, and in that vicinity was married to her now bereft hus- band forty-three years ago. Some two or three years later they removed to the township of Morris; they also re- sided at St, Helens, and for a time in Huron township. A few years ago they retired to a quiet home in Wing. ham Town Plot. For the past three years Mrs. Smith has been in failing health, and in June last passed safely through an operation for the removal of a tumor. Since then she has been gtadnally becoming weaker, until her spirit took its flight. Her intense suf- ferings were borne with Christian for- titude, and she leaves behind her a testimony that she has gone to a bet- ter hone. Besides her bereaved hus- band, she leaves one daughter, Mrs. Robt. Groves, and two sons—Mortimer of Wisconsin, and Edwin of Wing - ham. The funeral took place on Tues- day to Wingham cemetery, her pas- tor, Rev. Dr. Gandy, conducting the burial service at the home and grave. Sick headache results from a dis- ordered condition of the stomach and is quickly cured by Chtunberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. For sale by all druggists. Unlawful Assembling. This was the charge laid against a number of young men, and ventilated before Police Magistrate Morton, one day last week, It appears, that a young girl, who lives near the out- skirts of the town, and whose char- acter has not always been above sus- picion, was coming in emptily with a, young man, to Winghnant to attend the meeting of the Salvation Army. A number of young Wren gathered, and by references to the past,. and in other ways, ;mule it very disagreeable for the yoking couple. After the meet- ing, they again assembled, and it is said followed the two home, insulting them on the way, and even attempt- ing (it is claimed) to throw the girl over the bridge ; later on, it is said, the house was stoned. Very serious charges night have been laid, but it Was decided to make it "unlawful as- sembling"; Crown Attorney Seager, of Goderich, was present in the in• terests of the Crown. The result was that four who put in the plea, of guilty were adjudged to pay costs, and the cases against five others, who were slot active participants in the racket, were withdrawn for the pres- ent. The whole bunch may consider themselves fortunate, 'We withhold names this time, in the hope that none concerned is these nasty affairs $i;.QQ PER YEAR IN ADVANCE ersonals Miss Lizzie Green is visiting friends in Ripley.
