For full particulars apply to Mrs. A. Murray. Needing Help A couple of gentlemen canvassed the village on Tuesday last on behalf of. the Young family whose house was destroyed by fire, near the Black Horse lately, and where two of the boys were burned to death. They met with a hearty and liberal re- sponse from our citizens. The Cattle Export Trade A statement prepared in the dep- artment of Marine and Fisheries shows that the total number of cattle exported from the Dominion to Great Britain from the beginning of Navi- gation until July 31, was 54,591, of which' 48,632 were fat cattle and 4,959 stockers. Of the whole numter only fifty were lost. They died be- tween Montreal and the Gulf of St., Lawrence during the recent hot spell. The number of sheep exported up to July 31 was 12,773. Improving Industry Considerable movement has , been made this year in the village in the building line. Mr. John McLennan . has been engaged since early spring in conveying houses to various places by moans of jacks, block and tackle " without legal assistance. Among those removed are the old Orange hall which has been converted into a commodious dwelling. The building formerly occupied by Mr. D. McDonald on Campbell st., has become an addition to the Lucknow Hotel. The shop on Havelock street formerly owned by Mr. Alex. McKay is being raised and greatly enlarged. The new proprietor, Mr. Shoebottom, is about to establish a fruit evaporating and canning factory. This is a most desirable point, the quality of fruit being first-class and the supply almost unlimited. We wish the new industry unbounded success. Cider Press Mr. E. Bower wishes to inform the farmers and the public in general that he will keep the cider press as usual in connection- with the saw mill on the 12th. con., of Ashfield, and parties bringing their apples to the mill can have them made into cider on shortest notice. Bring along your apples and take the sparkling beverage home wi yOU. / Obtained Certificates At the recent examinations for teachers' certificates Master George Smith, of this village, succeeded in ob- taining a second class certificate, and the Misses Julia Mallough And R. Griffith third class honors. Mr. James McDonald, son of Mr. Malcolm Mc- Donald, of West Wawanosh, also pass- ed the Matriculation in French and Latin. The three former pupils wrote at Kincardine, and the latter at GodeAch Anooh;F'Potatoe Pest A new enemy to the tatoe has lately appeared that proses to "out - rival the Colorado beetle in its des- tructiveness. It is a large green worm similar to if not identical with the tomato worm, and growers of potatoes should examine their plants at once, as the ravenous worm will destroy a large plant in a few hours. After stripping off leaves it attends so strictly to business that it dosn't want to climb down but, then falls on, the ground and immedia- tely starts toward another plant. Farm Purchased The farm belonging to th estate, consisting of Lot 18,on t Concession of West Wawanosh, taining 200 acres, was parch Messrs. Edward and Wm. J. MQ for the sum of $9000, possession given in January. This is a spl property and we congratulate these gentlemen on their purchase Good Plan While engineer Tom and his assis- tant Ned were watering the streets on Monday morning a drove of cattle came along, and • the driver asked Tom to give them a sprinkle; no sooner said than the quadrupeds genus bos were deluged with water from the hose. When they were being. weighed Mr. Smith McLean, to whom they were consigned, thought he ought to knock off 200 pounds. PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAVING LUCKNOW MK ARETS. EXAMINATION.

Thursday;evening last, during the performance of Karl's Promise. Besides the handsome drop curtain, there will be seven different sets of paintings representing a street scene, a parlor, kitchen, garden, landscape, mountain ranges and a prison. All the different scenes look exceedingly natural and the whole work is a great credit to the artist, Mr. Albert Trato, of Chatham. Up to the Mark Paramount school which made such a good showing at the Examination last year is again up to the mark. Of 'the three pupils who wrote at the Entrance, two, Master Grant Murray and Miss Eva Reed succeded in pass- ing and Miss Eda Reed and Master John McKenzie who wrote at the Public School Leaving were also suc- cessful. These results reflect much credit on the energetic work of the late teacher, Mr. Harry Hudson and on the pupils themselves. We hope the school may be as prosperous under the new teacher, Mr. McNay, as it was under Mr. Hudson. Rebecca Degree At a special meeting of the Odd- fellows in their hall on Monday evening last, it was decided to establish a lodge of the Daughters of Rebecca in the village. This is right, The lords of creation have monopolized this secret society business in the village long enough and we are glad to see that the ladies are going to take a hand in regulating the goat. We need a another society in the village anyhow, as there are only the Mas- ons, Odd -fellows, Canadian Foresters, Independant Foresters, Ancient Work - me - Orangemen, Sons of Temperance, Women's Christian f emperance Union, Christian endeavor and Epworth League already doing business here. By all means let us have a lodge of the Daughter's of Rebecca. Ploughing Match The Ontario Agriculture and Arts Association' offers the sum of $150 to each of the different districts of the Province as prizes for ploughing matches oacondition that the match he held in a locality as near the centre of the district as possible. The counties of Bruce, Huron and Grey comprise this district, of which. the most suitable central point for a match seems to be Mildmay or Tees - water. At a speciel meeting of the Northern Exhibition. at Walkerton Mr. James Rowand, representing the Agriculture and Arts Association, laid the matter, before those present, and it was decided to undertake the management of the match. Mr. Rowand intends giving a. gold medal to the sweepstake winner, and efforts will be made to induce other parties to give additional special prizes. The match will be held about Oct. 15th, and further arrangements will be made at the next meeting this month. • Karl's Promise A large audience greeted Harry Hart and the Lucknow Dramatic Club in Karl's Promise at the Town Hall on Thitesitty evening last. The play was the -best yet produced by our local talent and each and all the different roles were well sustained. The splen- did orchestra of Prof. Raynor, of Pais- ley, was indeed a treat to our citizens, and the many beautiful selections of music rendered by them during the performance were much appreciated. On Friday evening a benefit was given to Mr. Harry Hart and the hall was again well 'filled. The Big Scotchman The big Scotchman that has been the trade mark of the Great Northern Caledonian gatherings in Lucknow for the past sixteen years, is again sent forth in countless numbers to sound the tocsin of the great and only genuine gathering of the Clans held on this continent. Tens of thou- sands have nobly responded to his call in the past and we have assurances that this year, the 14th of September, will' see the biggest Caledonian demon- stration in Lucknow ever .witnessed in Canada, So mote it be. Have no Patent • 1 The following was clipped from the legal. columns .ofthe London Advertiser Lucknow.—There are hedge com- panies operating through these coun- ties ; can they deprive me from plant- ing .and trimming myhedges in any form which I may consider the best ? ANS.—No. 2. Have the Niagara or the Stratford Hedge Company any protection by their patent or their mode of plashing their hedge plants ? Ass.—No. The mode is not the sub- ject of a patient, the machine for doing it may be. If these hedge com- panies hold a patent would it be unlaw- ful for private persons to adopt the company's mode for. planting and trimming ? - ANs.—No. . Strongest Man on Earth The Hamilton b'peetator, speaking of the performance in that city of Louis Cyr, the wonderful strong man that has been secured for the Caledon- ian games in Lucknow on the 14th of September, says: A procession was. formed, and after parading the princi- pal streets, proceeded to the driving park, headed by Louis Cyr, the strong- est man on earth, driving a little pony in a dog cart. This gentleman was the principal attraction of the day. He is a wonderfully well proportioned man and without doubt is unequalled for physical strength, so far as known in the sporting world., A few of his measurements are : Height 5 feet 101 inches ; chest. 581 inches ; waist 49 inches ; thighs 331 inches ; biceps 2l inches ; forearm. 18i inches. He wears a 22 -inch collar and a 71- hat. His hands and feet art comparatively small; his hands being smaller perhaps than the average farmer's or laborer's hands, though of course very strongly knit, and his wrist is not large. He wears a number 8 boot. He was born in St. Johns, P. Q,, hi 1864, of French parentage. He weighs in stage costume 323 ponnds. Although the weight of the dumb -bells he put up yesterday was not verified, they were so heavy that those who tested them could with difficulty lift one of then ; the -largest one was Stated to be 250 pounds. But Cyr gave conclusive proof of his great strength by Lifting a heavy, iron bound platform with twelve heavy men, aggregating 2,654 pounds on his back. —Mr. James Warren, of Kincardine, has received the position of Deputy Registrar at Walkerton, , He w-! makes fret -Class official, A. 0.A.5PRELL, Public.
