Mr. Sheppard has Leen a resident of Huron county for sixty. bur years so it may well be said " that Le is a pioneer, while the worthy partner of his l'oys and sorrows is a member of a faai:ly intimately son- -nected with the early drys of the' Huron Tract. To Mr. and 31 rs. Sheppard were born eight chi'.1ren alit; there is yet but one vecant chair. Six of the family still live on the old homestead. The golden wedding was e happy gathering and many are the expressions for continued happiness and prosperity which have been showered upon this venersole couple. A SCOTCH FARMER IS tilS CUPS Of tales of the Scot in his cups Wire is no end, says the t i'asg- w . 3Mai1. This of a Western fanner is new. Recently he was t:r ing orae a loaded Cart, and, the pace o> the horse failing to correspond with reit idea.a of speed, he applied, the whip so vigdrously that the wiser animal of the two bolt -d and disappeared. In grief he called upon a neighbonieg farmer, and that get.tleman turned rut his hands to find the lost horse had cart. They found them, the cart overturned, the horse with his tail where its head should have been. ''Oh, Bobby," caried the farmer, wringieg hia hands, "it's died, i'ts deid." "It's nano deici,' replied Bobby, "it's a' richt." "As sure as dsith," insisted the inebriate, "it's deid." All Bobby's efforts to convince him' other- wise were in vain, for, as he tenderly stroked the horse's tail, he sobbed. • Ob, Bobby, it.'a died, man, it's died; for, look, the heid's clean aff o't." —The majority of farmdrs in the county will be pleased to learn that in all probability an opportunity , will again be give to visit the Meelel Farm at Guelph next simmer at a small cost. On Monday of lest week a meeting of representatives from the three Farmers' Institutes of the county was held in Chesley to consider the matter of an excursion in June. The outcome of the consultation was the acceptance of an invitation to send a deputation to Toronto there to arrange with the railway people for dates, rates and other details. It is likely three different excursions wi l be run this year from Itree , instead of one as in 1198—taking a di0'rrects date for each branch of the railway. metiiirs.
