At a meeting of the board of trustees of theUethodist chnrcb, held List week, it was decided tu purchase a p'p« organ for the chuich, and will b.tTs the same placed in posiiiott in time for tha reopen- ing of the church, which will take place oil or about the IClh of August next.

The value is ifOOO. Ar iiitarsstm^ gtine of baseball was played htsre on Siiiurday afternoon be- tween the Vandeleur and Fleshcrlon clubs. Vandeleur hud heretofore won two bsila from Fleshurton this season, bat the latter succaoded in getlinij back at them this time, but only by a very narrow majority. It was a close tjaine and quite ujcitiiig. At the end of the ninth iiininK the score stood 22 to 22. lu the taiith inning Vaiidoleui' went lirst t'3 bat and made four runs. FleViierton then rolled up six runs, with one man still to but, thua winisini; by 2, the score being 2G to 28.

Mr Lindsay's total Kirs wiilTuot up to about 9200. Tho cause of th«t>4re is a mystery,. as there wa» no tire around the building; after 1) a.iD. Saturday. Much sympathy is «.\preiised for Mr. Lindsay, who is an exemplary young man and hE>s won many fiieuds uincu coming here from Sheiburno a few weeks ago. It is altogether likely that Mr.'Lindnay will start iu business .•i^ain rij^'.it away. Over twenty-one years ago a gentleman iiamech^M'm. Armstrong, near Eugenia, hsd a p.-iralytic atruko which alfectod his bruin. One day he took his gun and wandered away fi'iu hoins. Not rcturii- iiij! that night, large numbers of iioigh- l-on turned out and after a lengthy search in the bush diHCOveretl him in a dazed condition, minus tho gun. One day lust week Mr. James Aiin.itrung, a 8. Ill, while working in a swamp disoov- er«d the eld gun. Of course it was badly rustod, but it will nevertheless bo carefully boai-ded as a valuable meeinnto of a deceoaod father.

Flesher, who is uiakins; im- prurenienta to the inside of the Metho- dijit eliureli, has erected a scalTld which is a marvel of in-jenuity and nimplicity. It it BO ere^'tcd tiiat it tits the shape of the ceiling tu a nicely, and by the aid of a crank caa be run from end to and of the church by one man in a few mo- ments. Mr. Flesher claims for the in- vent iou, which emanated wholly from his fertile brain, that it look very little InngttfT to erect than an ordinary scaffold, caused a saving of at least 20tX) feet of lumber, makes the handling of boards unnecessary, prevenu du>it; from flying and is much moru convenient to work on in every way th.in ai ordinary scaf- fold wuuld be. It is manipulated by a crank and ropes running over small pul- leys by an in>!eniou.sandi>ri'^inal method. The whole affair is em ircly original and rnnks as an inveiiti'iii of merit. It is wxrth exaniiniut(. Stewart Pocock, a Dundalk Ud, ran away a couple of weeks ago. Constable Peterson, after a pretty chase, arretted the younsster near Brampton. " It ap- pears,' says the Herald, " the lad on leavine; Duudaik traded Mr. Sharpe'a outfit for a horse and cart ten miles be- low Oraiigeville. With this be druve to Turimtu, returning a'.{aiu to tha vicinity of Branipt-jn, where he exchanged the horse fur anelher one. He afCerwaida traded horse and cart for a watch, which was found in his possussion when arrested. C instable Peterson succeeded in return- ing the various animals to their owners and truciii); Sharpe's horse snd rig to Aberfuyle, near Guelpb, in possession of a farmer with whom Pocock h.td made the first trade. Peterson returned by the noon train on Tuesday, bringing the prisoner with him, who was arraigned before McGregor, J. P., and by him com- luitled to Owen Sound jail for trial."

Rev. Mr. Lediard of Owen Sound, lepreseuting the Children's Aid Society for this county, called »n us one day last week.

Mias Emma Wright mot the party iu Moiitronl aud returned boiue with thent. A incotin" of directors of the Huron A Ontario Electric Railway Co. was held iu Toronto hu-t week. Tho president and secretary reporced that they had gone to New York and interviewed Miller Broe. with a view to construction. That firm told them to go on and survey tb« road, get levels, etc , and then submit their maps, when the firm would sond a man to make an ,»ainiuation of the route r»j its own satisfactioa. Aixsordingty the en- gineer, Mr. Bruuell, his been pla«ed . at work, starting at Port Perry on Monday last, and expects tu complete the woik in ab<mta month. A mure interesting mat. ter before the board was the disposition of certain funds nn band, some $2000, Osprey and Sugema had paid over tu the trcaiursr. Dr. Ilolstln of Shelburne put in a little bill of $12(X} for promoting the road through Osprey, and supported his claim with an eloquent speech. This small item was ignored by the president. There was, however, no difficulty over the payment of accounts for directoni' expenses, disbursements being made fi r the lost three meetings of the board. Thus it may be said that the prospects of the road going through still hang in the balance, but progress can be reported. If Miller Bros., upon receiving Mr. Bru nell's report, think well of the scheme, then we may look for the r«ad, but it will take at least two months to arrive at that stags of the proceedinus . In the meantime we will live on in hope. -1^1, â€" The Tale of a Cow. A. S. Vanduaen and M. Richardson, J. P's., were enga);ed Monday evening and Tusaday morning hearing a criminal case of considerable intereet. Benjamin and Alfred Scanlon, of the 14th con., Artsmesia, were accused by one Irwin Fawcett with the theft of a cow. Faw- cstt, it seensa, bought a cow from the prisoners' father, irivini a note therefor at two montha The prisoners claim that the cow belonged to them and that their father had no right lo sell the animal. The parents both tlatly repudiated this claim but two sisters gave evidence in favor of it. On Sunday afternoon last, during Fawcett's absence from home, the two young men went over to the latter's place and took the cow out of his stable. Young Scanli>ii had sold the cow on the previous Friday to a buyer under contract to deliver her at Flesher- ton Station on Monday before 10 a. m. Monday morning one of the bays started •ff with the cew and the other went to Mark dale to get some legal advice, meet- ing his br<ither with the cow just east of this villag.e. They then attempted to tal(e a roundabout way to reach the sta- tion but before going far were arrest ud by Constable Wbittsn snd arraigned be- fore the magistrates. Mr. Batson ap- pearetl for the pliautiff and Mr. W. Wright for defendants. The case was adjournod until Tuesday morning in order to secure certain documentary evidence. After sifting the matter as thoroughly as possible the magistrates decided that there was sufficient evidence for committal, and placed bail, the pri- soners to furoisb flOO and two sureties of SlOO ea«h, wjiich xas immediately forthcoming. The cow will remain in Constable Whitten's charge, but as sh* does not give milk her guardian cannot consider her as a luxury. Harried^ BtiTewsliiioiiâ€" AcBJMonâ€" At the hom« of «><• brido.
