FROM OUR own CORRESPONDENTS.
KINGSVILLE.

Eds. Ta.ALast Sabbath afternoon the
funeral exercises Of Miss Ruth Hammond
took place at the Presbyterian church, Rev.
MGifert, of your city, officiating. Her
death occurred at the home of married
sister in Cleveland, on the Friday evening
previous, who. with a brother, widowed
mother and numerous friends, are left to
mourn her untimely loss. Her age was II
years, and the disease, putrid sore throat,
with something over a weeks ravages.-
With Mr.. Hiekok's absence, the occasion
for calling on Mr. M'Gifert, with the fam
ilyIs religious predictions, are,apparent.
Our pencil would fail us in an attempt to
portray the eloquent, logical and comfort
ing words spoken by Mr., M'Gifert. The
The choir, accompanied by singers from
the other chOirs sang very appropriate Sc
lections, The attendance was very large,
filling the house to near its utmost capaci7
ty, and forming q very imposing process
sion, which in due time after the exercises
at the church was vending its way to the
LIN Lu Falls eemetery-where, with the
usual impressive ceremony, the remains
were deposited. 80 g'le HH l"9s
The .old-time friends here of Mr.. James
Haines have Of late been enjoying his soei-
ty very much. The year 1874, with other
previous years, found him, during the
summer, plOughing Lake Erie. That fall
and winter he commenced attending Kings
vile Academy and with other years, up to.
1S49, alternated between following the
lakes and attending the academy. The al
lurements Of California in 40, attracted
him, with quite large company, from
this town. Since that time his entire in
terests have been connected with the min
ing and lumber business Of California, Ne
vada, &C., which, doubtless, has rewarded
him in placing an ample fortune at his
command. His graphic descriptions re-
garding the gold washing and quartz crush
ing, ETC., are very interesting. With his
having attained a deserved prominency in
his nov adopted State-Nevada--he is re-
warded, with the position OF Centennial
Commissioner. With his recent return
from Philadelphia he eonfronts the report
that the receipts are not sufficient to meet
the expenses, as being far from the truth,
giving the latter as $4,000 per day, and
the former averaging not less than $4,000
per day. Dabon will not allow much Of a
loss with such receipts and disbursements.
The Ladies' Social held at Perry Parker's
last Wednesday evening, was very fine,
social affair. The day had been very hot,
and the evening, OF night, air proved very
seductive in its refreshing influence, and
ere all were aware very late hour had ar.
rived ere departure was taken. The spa
cious apartments, grounds, etc., Of Mr..
Parker cOnspired not little to the same
results.

could be rented for s175, or the lower floor

port was accepted and laid on the table.
The objections to the Centre street build

Fisk's Hail is also too small, as has been
proved on several occasions while the in

the business Of which your income must
necessarily be derived, and therefore the

out and kill it, and in doing 50 his foot
slipped and he fell into the water. His
comrade made an attempt to rescue him,

was with much difficulty he reached the

the boy, and that his lungs at once filed

Ocean freights, for grain, unlike lake
freights for the same, seem to be on the ad-
vance. The latest is 6s Sd per quarter for
grain from New York to Cork for orders.
Says the 0swego Palladium: Two years
ago no captain thought of sailing in or out
Of port, but now the majority dispense
with tugs. The night before last the Mys-
tic Star sailed in and nearly up to the
bridge, while last night eight or ten yes
sells warped down to the pier, hoisted their
sails and quietly departed without the as
sistance of steam. Many Of the captains
claim that an ordinary vessel can pay her
expenses and clear about IS per trip if she
sails in and out Of port.
The Detroit Post states that the schooner
Twin Sisters has also been chartered to
carry cargo Of deals from Lake Michigan
to Liverpool, England. This vessel, like
the Pamlico, has been out before, and came

Sisters, is an old and reliable navigator,
having sailed out of Europe as Master Of
large vessels for many years, and is there
fore thoroughly acquainted in that part Of
the world.
The brig Pamlice, which is now on her
way to Buffalo with cargo of grain, has
