Harrington, formerly of the Collegiate staff, had a valuable silVer watch stolen from his waistcoat, while that garment was hanging in the kitchen of his residence. The case was placed in he hands of Chief Bell, but nothing more was heard of the matter until a Week ago, when the watch was handed into a local jeweller for repairs by a north ward woman. When confronted by Chief Bell the woman stated that her son had found it in arefuse heap in the back yard. A gold dollar was missing from the chain~ and this she confessed to having taken 7 Lâ€" II‘L- allu Lat-u vâ€"â€"' and exchanged at one of the banks. The ' 1 boy was then taken in hand by the Chief and confessed to'having stolen the watch from Mr. Harrington‘s pocket while the latter was absent from the room. Mr. Harrington was in town last week and recovered his missing watch, but declined to prosecute the young thief, owing to his mother’s pleadings, and the lad’s prnmi-e to mend his ways and not ) ield to tempts- x tion in the future. â€"â€"Mr. A.

His arm was caught in the spokes of the front wheel as he fell and two small bones ; in the wrist were broken, and he was stunned by the tall. The buggy righted itseliI and Mrs. Babcock and the little boy remained in. the horse continued to run, but Mrs: Babcock reached one of the .lines with her parasol and pulled the animal into the fence.

General ' Dry GOods ' I Millinery Carpets Clothing and Furnishings There is principle in winning business. No secret. It is by honest liberal dealing and manners. There is a good deal of liberality in trade, but fitful, sometimes excessive, sometimes reluctant, n0t controlled by a well-held principle, manners are shallow and honesty lapses into “the average practice.” Common store dealing drives customers away. That’s why it pays so well to be so really honest and open. Th1s business is doing better all the while, and “satisfaction echoes through the aiSles like the notes of a song.” , More price “ork today. Just such prices as give a bargain to the entire store. Price tells in a business like this. Not that we under-value influence, friendship courtesy, but these are not the. governing principle.

It is just twenty-one years since Toronto Exhibition was established as an annual institution under the present management. During that time it has increased five fold in every direction, and to-day can fairly lay claim to have assumed a national char- acter. Last year upwards of 300,000 people 1 attended. and this year such arrange- ments are being. made as will warrant the expectation of a still larger attendance. ‘Many entirely new features will be pre- sented, While the exhibits, with,an in- creased amount given in prizes (totalling $35,000), will undoubtedly crowd the six hundred thousand dollars’ worth of build inns to their utmost. The usual brilliant military spectacles will be given, illustrat- ing recent famous feats of arms on land and sea by both England and America, and arrangements bane been made for an illustration of wireless telegraphy, wireless telephoning and the improved X rays. In short, the exhibition will be more than ever up-to-date.-â€"30-4. DUNCAN J. M'FADYEN. It is our sad duty this week to record the death of Mr. Duncan J. McFadyen of Moorefield, but formerly of the township of Eldon. Mr. McFadyen was a native of Argyleshire, Scotland, and immigrated to this countrv in 1863. After that time he was a resident of the township of Eldon until some seventeen years ago, when he went to Toronto and continued his trade as a carpenter. While there he was married to Mary J. Brady, daughter of Mr. Edward Brady, of the county Of Wellington. Ten years ago he left the city and moved to Moorefleld, where he engaged in farming up to the time of his death. Deceased was a highly respected and popular citizen amongSt his large circle of acquaintances. In every under- taking in life he was industrious and energetic, and a man who in his judgment useldom,made an error. He had been ailing ifor the past twelve months, and although i at times very ill, yet hopes for his recovery were renter'tain'e-d until quite “recently. death ending his sufl‘erings on July 3lst. The funeral on the 2nd inst. was an unusu- ally large one. His widow and family of five boys have the sincere sympathy of the community in their deep affliction and in the loss of a kind husband and loving father. “ Canada’s Greatest Fair Obituary MONDAY, AUG. 14.â€"Grand celebration of‘ the Relief of Derry in Lindsay, under the auspices of the Prentice Boys and other Orange orders.

It; will be a. couple of weeks yet before he can have the full use of thelimb. â€"A very sad accident occurred in Black- stock, Cartwright township, about a week ago. The youngest child of Anson Taylor reeve of the township, was playing around and fell head-first into a pail of water, and was drowned. Mrs. Taylor had only left her sitting on the verandah a few mom- ents before, and when discovered the child was quite dead. -â€"On Sunday evening last Mr. Patrick! James O’Connell, one of the most popular and successful fishermen on the Scugog, while harnessing a favorite horse was! kicked on the back of the head by the animal, and knocked down. One of the corks of the shoe penetrated the flesh and severed an artery. Mr. O’Connell was car- ried into the house and every means taken to stop the now of precious blood, but to no avail. A messenger was despatched with all speed to Lindsay formedical aid, and on the arrival of Dr. White the un- fortunate man was very lowâ€"in fact the only evidence of life was that his tongue : was still wagging. When the flow of blood was finally stancheda change‘Ior the better set' m, and his recovery is confi- dently looked for by his numorous friends. Much. sympathy is expressed for Mr. O’Connell, as he will be-unable to work for some time, and as this is a very busy season the loss of his valuable assistance will be much felt by the farmers of the section. Chapter nf Accidents. Coming Events DIRECT ‘IMPORTERS A very successful institute was held at St. Joseph’s Convent, Lindsay, on Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursdav, August 1st, 2nd 3rd. About 25 Sisters who are engaged in Separate School work in var- ious convents were in attendance and papers on educational subjects were read by Mr. W. Elliott, formerly headmaster of the Hamilton Model school, and lately ap- pointed vice-principal of the Toronto Normal school; Mr. T. P'c-rter cf the Toronto Model school; and Mr. M.

Liztle and Mr. and Mrs. J. McAdam and family have taken up their abode at Mr. Hamilton’s cottage, and will remain for a. few weeks. â€"Rev. Mr. MacNamara, curate of St. Paul's church, conducted service on Sun- day. A very large congregation joined in the worship and listened to the preacher's thoughtful and earnest discourse. â€"Compla.int is made that picnickers at the Point do not show as much regard for the order and sanitation of the place as they ought. Moreover they sometimes eat their lunches in the church and leave papers and crumbs scattered about while the benches are smeared with preserves. Young men have so far forgotten them- selves as to play cards in the building. These things all arise from a thoughtless- ness on the par: of visitors. and if they will avoid them in future it will be appre- ciated. â€"What might have been a serious up-set occurred about 10.30 on Sunday. A nice wind was blowing and Dr. Allen accom- panied by his two boys went out for a sail. While one of the lads was holding the sheet a sudden gust capsized the boat and all hands Went into the water. It was about mid-way between the Eva wharf and Willocks’ bay and there was danger tenouah. The doctor, however, is a. strong Pswimmer and kept the boys afloat till rescue oarties consisting of Messrs. Lin. Flood, R. Walters, G. H. and R. Hopkins and F. K. Begbie reached them.
