The procession wi.s not a thrilling spectacle, but tlie jwrformauce WAI, we underUMid, very fair. The party appeared to be very orderly and gtntlo uuuly. They were in Durham on Thurs- day. A baseball club was organized in town < n Moiiday with the following officers : 1'res., A. Munahaw ; Manager, N. Hend- erson ; Field Caotain, Ceo. MiU-bell ; Seo.-Treaj'., W.

The cow advertised for in last week's Advance by Mr. Armstrong, and thought to hare been stolen, has I ecu found ; in f.ct she cam* home of her own accord al- most before the paper had been distribut- ed. She wa uppot.nd to l>e farrow, as the advertisement saio, but all the same brought home with her a miniature but fiiky calf. This is looked upou an a rather remarkable incident. Why must cattle, horne* and pis be allowed to run at large in this town T They are a continual numnce to the pub- lic, uioat destructive to sidewalks aud a tertvr in general. The nuisance is more pronounced at night, when the animals sppmr to t*ku a pucu.iar delight in keep- ing people awake by m.irchiiii! to and fro over the sidewalks, aud if they have a beil shaking it vigoroualy. Their owners should take utht r people's feelings into consideration and at least keep them cl >sed up duiing the nutii time.

Well and Truly Laid. Dundalk Methodists toyed the corner stone of a handwine no* church on Fii day aftern H.n ll. The act was por- foruied by Mayor Keni.edy, of Toronto Bro. Cllendii.niug has kindly supplied The Advance with thu following report of the affair : Preparatory to the- oere- inoi.y the CitUuna' Band favored the v.sitors with some ch. ice music. The *rmuny iu ite!f was vary simple but impressive. Dr. Galbraith delivered the oration, after which the M*yor, with a few raps of che silver trowel, previously presented to him by Dr. Campbell, de- clared tbe stone well aud truly told. A very liberal rvsuonae was made by the friends present towards asaisting the managers of tli new church, Mayor Kennedy himself contributing a check for ftf. The visitor* and friend* then repaired to tlie Muthodipt church grounds to partake '( a spread prepared by the Indies of the church. In tho evening able addresses were delivered l>y Kev. Mr. Rupert. Mayor Kennedy and Dr. Galbraitb. The hr\t spoke very appropriately and impress- ively from the title of the hymn .sang by the choir, "Peace be within thy wall*, etc." He emphasised particularly the gravity of doin^ anything to mar the House of Go J. After a very beautiful and well rendered solo by Mi? Chris'ou if K'.esh. rti.n. Dr. Campbell mtruduced the speaker of the evening, Major Ken- nedy. H'.s address, mainly a hiiitry of Methodism, was very interetiiijr, enpeci- ally so to those aiwociiited with the Metllodiot church. He spoke at conniU- eralde length i t \i<:: own connection with the church and deprecated the day when bis name should be severed. His re- m n k< ncre stnkintly illustrated by a rrfer.iice to the Sieao of Derry wskich, t the very last extremity, was so *)ppi r- tunrly r-liuv.d. He reminded the ntaru- btrs of the DuniUlk church that the great Meih'Kiiat body was not the result nf fact i in 01 party- He claimed for the .Methodist ci.urcli the establishment of the trst BiMe Society, the tirnt Mission- ary attempts, the first Tract Society, and tlie first L'lapeuiary. Mayor Kennedy is a self-made man and not tl.e leant inter- esting part of hi* address was his refer- ence to hinmelf. A it wav late when the Mayor con- cluded his address the* Rev. Dr. (jial- braith was limited to a few minutes. It is DO secret that this church is at present experiencing a crisis. We are ul.ul to hear that the difficulties have been smoothed over and that Dr. Camp- bell ha* beau invited to remain for next year. PERSON A US. II you are visiting svsy from lioiua lot us know It.

KorwguU Register. X't long tan ** meddling scientist discovered that the mturorwa of disease were disseminated by kitting. The dis- covery of course made nn particular chanse in 'he established custom except that it gave a man an excellent excuse for refusing to salute his mother-in law, hut the lover simply read the mild warning with scorn and called for another microbe. It i* encourngii.g, however, that science hits found an antidote that will make kiss- in',' not only harmless, but healthful. Chemistry ha* demonstrated that tobacco smoke ia the most perfect germicide ever used, so that the young man wh > smokes curnrs is not only himself arm^d against the deadly bacillus, but carries on his breath aud in his n-.ustache a never fail- ing health restorer for hia sweetheart. "Yon look pale this evtning, dear," says th* sly Komeo. "I think you ne<l a germicide. " ' And the quick-witted Juliet catches on and says, "Yes, Romeo, dear, I think I do."

Tho county council of the county of Grey will meet for the despatch of busi- ness at 7.30 o'clock on Tuesday eveii.ni:, June 18th, at tho Court House. The usual routine work, such as equalization of tlie assessment of the various local municipalities, striking rate for IS'.ttl, etc., will engross the attention ..f ihe council. It should also settle down to the serious consideration of ihe building the House of Rffugti fur tbe aged and indigent of the couuty. Nearly every grand jury nfjate years has recommended the erection of such a homie in our county The Ontario government has provided for assisting of county council* in this work t*t the extent of $400. to be expended on the buildings. The local municipalities f the Ci uit} everyone "I them -are an- nually doling out pittance* to tbe aged and bulpUna within th'nr I orders. It ruins to us that if tbe sums paid out in this way were contributed toward the maintenance of a home, that a leas sum from each would afford much greater comfort when aggregated ; and if pro- perly managed, we (irmly believe it *uul<l be made self supporting in a very short time. The county council of Cirey at it* January session ordered a memorial to be presented to the Ontario Legislature, asking that the quantity ot land required in order to secure the government grant be reduced from forty-five to ten acrvH. Tins, however, did not carry, but it looks if our couuty council was inclined to look favorably nn the establishing oi a home. We shall await wich interest the action of the council. 0. S. Times.

The spot selected by the Moonlighters" for the manufacture of the intoxicant, upou which the government had no as- sessment or inspection, is a romantic one and was situated in the depths of a cedar swamp ou the banks of the River Syden- haw . To reach the point the illicit di- tillcni evidently took a boat above the bridge at tierr.inian's mill* and rowed up the stream. The still n a very good cop- per one and had evidently done long ser- vice. It was also evident that it had not been used for some time. The material out of which the liouor was made wa probably molasses. Tlie Inspector i* at most positive as to the ownership, but the party suspected Una left the country. The property upon which it wa* found belongs to our rupected townsman, Mr. Richard Trotter, but the individual's trcaptas wag uukuown to him. This is the first capture since the Bryant still was seized in the old Clifton Uuiue. NOTICE TOJIHE PUBLIC. Tue public is prohibited from Ashing on lot* K| 4. con 4, u,l wf 4, ou. I. Euphruia.
