A full share has been given to Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Goodwin, whose guests Mr. and Mrs. James Carling were at the time of the unfortunate occurence. Nothing new has been elicited as to 'now the accident actually happened, but l0 DAYS’ SALE the conclusion remains that he was in the act of putting on his coat when the canoe upset. \Vhen last seen he was paddling in the bow of the boat, while Mrs. Carling was seated in the stern steering. Mr. Carling was not a good swimmer as was at ï¬rst stated and knew very little about boating. The remains of Mr. Carling were taken to London for interment where they were interred in the Roman Catholic cemetery along with those of. his aged mother, whose death had been caused by the shock of the terrible doubje tragedy at Sturgeon Point. The funeral took place from St. Peter’s cathedral on Sunday and was very largely attended. The scene was a most mournful one throughout. The remains of Mrs. Carling were taken to the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Terri], at Linden Valley. and the funeral on Thursday afternoon to the Friend’s Cemetery was very largely attended, there being over one hundred vehicles in the procession. Mrs. Carling was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Terril and was held in the highest esteem by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. The bereaved parents have theIdeepest sympathy of the entire community. Mrs. Terril has not been in extra good health for some time and the great shock of the sudden death of her beloved daughter, has been a heavy straln upon her ssyste.m advertise in THE WATu “HHAN (She Watchman.

The Toronto Industrial Exhibition, which is to be held from the 3rd to the 15th of Septem- ber, will no doubt be the greatest fair of the present year, and from present indications it promises to excel all others, both in point of exhibits and in attendance of visitors. The grounds have been vastly improved since last year, and already most of the space in all the buildings has been applied for. All entries close on the 11th of August. A good program of special attractions, both novel and interest- ing, Will be provided as usual. It IS only a little over a month to the time of the fair, and our readers cannot choose a better holiday trip than this offers. Cheap excursions will as usual be run on all railways at rates in keeping with the times. Thisgreat Fair has now become one of the best and most popular educational and entertainment enterprises on this continent, and attracts visitors each year, not only from all parts of the Dominion, but from the United States as well, and those who have never been there would be surprised at its magnitude and attractiveness, being almost like 3. World’s Fair, only on a smaller scale. It WI" Be a Success. The annual pic-nic in aid of the R. C. church, at Victoria Road will be held this year in th: splendid grove adjoining the beautiful village of Kirkï¬eld, and the G. T. R. station, on Thursday. August 23rd, and not on August 28th, as previously announced. Elaborate preparations are being made for a day of recreation and enjoyment. XThe attractions for the day will be numerous and fanciful. Irish Harp, games of football, tennis and quoits will afford the sports lots of pleasure. There will be the usual contests of running, jumping and putting heavy weight. The victors will be rewarded with handsome prizes. The contest at present, exciting tne keenest interest is the gold-headed cane. This will be contested for between Dr. McKay, of Woodville, and Dr. “food, of Kirkï¬eld. The great Irish Orator, Hon. I. J. Curran, of Montreal, solicitor- general of the Dominion will address the great crowd on the grounds. Arrangements are being made with the G. T. R. to run a special excursion train from Lindsay and all other intermediate stations, at very low rates. For further particulars see large bills. Remember ihe date, Thursday. August 23rd.

On Thursday of last week while Mr. James Elliott, of the tenth coueession of Mariposa, near Manilla, was engaged in reaping, the horses by some means not clearly known, took fright and ran away. After taking a circular route for some few rods the binder came in contact with a rather deep furrow throwing Mr. Elliott in front of the machine. One guard punctured the scull to a great depth while another cut the juglar vein. Being still in gee: the knives did not fail to do their deadly work, while the larger wheel in its onward motion passed lengthwise over' a portion of the body, Anxious friends soon came to the rescue, but life was ebbing fast away and in a few minutes the poor unfortunate breathed his last. Mr. Elliott was well and favorably known in this vicinity for the past eighteen years, and during this long time had won for himself many warm friends who re- main to ,grieve the loss of a good neighbor and friend. A large number followed the body to its last resting place at Salem. where ‘Mr. llazzard, the Methodist minister preached the funeral sermon. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved widow. â€"A' brigade of musicians, and singers from Toronto will visit here on Saturday and Sunday next, and Little Britain on Monday night. â€"â€"A large c?owd gathered around the ring on Saturday night and responded by a. good ofl‘eripg._ A What is in wells? Water is one of the prime necessaries of life. Therefore, the greatest care should be exercised to see that the article entering into home consumption should be just what it ought to be. Pure water is one of the greatest essentials to good health, as impure water produces disease and death, being one of the principal causes of destructive fevers. It is safe to assert that the majority of people daily take into their systems water that is deleterious to their well being. Not long ago the members of a family, from the head of the household down to the baby, residing a few miles out in the country, were one after an other taken ill. Typhoid fever was the disease, and the doctor called in stated that bad water was the cause of their sickness. tThe well at the house in question â€"The corps held an open air meeting on the very spot where the army ï¬rst stood in Lindsay eleven years ago last Sunday night. Some testiï¬ed in the ring that were ï¬rst converted in the open air that was ï¬rst held on the spot eleven years ago. was all right in the spring. It was-located beside the verandah platform, but the carpenter who put a new covering over the well left it open on the inner side, never putting in any cross timber. This fact was discovered when the coverinngas removed. It was not sur- prising that the water in the well had become bad, for the professional well cleaner, whose services had been secured, removed from it the following animals and reptiles in various stages of decomposition: one small pig, a pup dog, one cat and two kittens, two rats and ï¬ve mice, one milk snake and two garter snakes, and about two dozen toads. It is not to be wondered at that the man who had the clean- ing job in hand was deadly sick at the stomach several times, and expected his boots to come up before he got through with it. Whew ljust to think of drinking water con- taminated by the decaying carcases of pigs, dogs, cats, rats, snakes and toads, does it not make you sick to read about it? It will pay you to look well into your wells. See that you use nothing but the purest of pure water. By so doing you will prevent much sickness and save doctor’s bills.

All parties interested in mission work are invited. The big drive of the Gilmour Co. is on its way to Trenton, by way of the Trent Valley route, from the new limits of the company, at Algonquin Park, in the Nipissing district. The entire drive comprises 150,000 logs. It is divided into ï¬ve sections, each division having a complement of aboutl’orty men, with an Alligator steamer to do the work. The logs were taken out around Big and Little Joe Lakes and Canoe Lake. The distance from these points to Trenton is not far from three hundred miles. The advance section was in Sturgeon lake last week, and the immense boom of logs was a sight to the people at the Point, while the working of the Alligator was watched with intense interest. The Alligator is a novel water and land vessel, being able to climb over portages between lakes. It is supplied with ï¬ve thousand feet of wire cable, which it uses in towing and portaging. When the steamer reaches a portage the cable is payed out to a certain length and anchored, then the machinery is set in motion, the cable wound up causing the vessel, which is ï¬tted with broad steal runners to slide gently over the land. Each Alligator has a powerful electric search light, which throws into bold relief objects a mile ditant. The advance section of the drive leached Bobcaygeon, Friday night, since which time the logs were being sent through the slides into Pigeon lake. It was in charge of Mr. Charles Morley, an intelligent and gentlemanly young Englishman, with Messrs. Hugh McCormack and Samuel Gunter, both stalwart follows, as] foremen. The steamer was captained by Milton Marsh and Mark O’Donnell. The drive began moving on the 20th of April last; and Mr. Morley expects his section to reach Trenton about the ï¬rst of October next. The lakes already passed through are Big and Little Joe, Canoe, Ox Tongue, Bayes, Raven, St. Norah, Eagle, Wren, Moores, Kushog, Big andILittle Boskey, twelve mile lake, Big and Little Horne, Gull, Big and Little Mud Turtle, Balsam, Cameron and Sturgeon. From this point to Trenton there are seven n" eight more lakes. The logs are run throw in the river connections, while in the lai- s they are boomed and towed. The'men are divided into two gangs, working night an 3 day, chang- ing at six o’clock in the morning zl‘ld six in the evening. The night gang always have a mid- night dinner. The men fare \x ‘ll,:excellent provisions being supplied to each division of this river-drive army. If all the pen in the employ of the Gilmour Co. arr as civil and well conducted as those with t‘.‘ : ï¬rst section, then they will pass inspection wit“ f ‘11 honors. I; is not expected that more tlm . No of the sections, or three at the most, wi~ reach their destination this fall. The company had be- tween four and ï¬ve hundred men at work taking out the logs in the Algonquin limits last winter. They were divided into ten camps. The: portage at the water shed between the Lake of Bayes and Raven lake is a full mile in length. Over one hundred thousand dollars were expended upon the right of way at this point to accomplish the transportationof the logs between the two lakes. A dam thirty-51x feet deep was constructed, with a sluice or canal way built over the entire divide, through which the logs are floated from one lake to the other. A curious statement is related in con- nection with the Lake of Bayes. The Alligator â€"-â€"The Rev. C. H. Marsh resumed his pastorate duties in connection with St. Paul’s church on Sunday last.

On Friday last he won the 2.15 pacing event, after a long drawn out race and lowered the track record to 2.14%. Little Pitt was sired by Mr. John Simpson’s Lapidist Chief that died at Cameron, two or three years ago. â€"â€"The matinee race meetings at Cambray, are proving quite interesting and the contests are growmg quite hot. On Saturday evening two carts came to grief and the spokes flew high in the air as a result of close quarters in a driving ï¬nish between three rare good ’uns. cast its anchor, but failed to catch bottom, although its ï¬ve thousand feet of cable was payed out. Bayes is now known as the bottomless pit lake. The logs are a splendid sample of Canadian white pine, many of them being three feet in diameter. â€"â€"The Orillia Canoe Club intend holding a fall meeting about the ï¬rst of September, when a good programme of racing events will be carried out.

Jake Gaudaur won, beating Rodgers by four boat lengths, Durnan_ and Dark were twenty boat lengths behind.

The sides were captained by Axthur Simpson and Wray' Macgachen, and at the close of the match the score stood 23 to I3, Simpson’s side being knocked out of time. The batting was excessive‘y heavy, club after club being broken. The boys were also more or less demoralized. They now use Indian clubs made out of green elm. â€"â€"-The one strong argument in favor 'of unrestricted trade between Canada and the United States is that it would do away with the expensive army of custom ofï¬cers on both sides of the line, which are uow a burden upon the people of both countries. The cost of maintaining the Canadian army is much greater in propor- tion than that of the other on account of difference in population. â€"On Tuesday a swell ball was held at the hotel.
