A NEW PEST, --There is apparently no
end to the pests With Which gir_dens have
to contend, for almost all kinds of fain
and vegetables are 'troubled with them.
Oh 'Monday morning 14Ir. J, T. Wilkie
found on', his black currant Sashes a num-
ber of caterpillars, as many as twenty live-
ly fellows more than lialf an inch long be-
ing on one leaf which they' were rapidly
destroying. What will counteract their
destructive tendency, is not yet known. A
specimen of the "reptile" was sent to Mr.
Saunders,. of -London,' President of the
Entomological Society,to see what he knew
about .them. -
HARv>sTING, - Operationshave not
been carried -on this year -under the most
favo:.cble circumstances, the- weather be-
ing unusually showery, A small quan;
tity of the fall, wheat cut has sprouted
sand--Was-not-gathered in anything like
good condition; there is yet much of it to
be taken in. : Some of the farmershaVe
commenced to cut barley; and oats, but we
have not yet heard of much spring wheat
being cut. It -will .pbe.a;serious matter for-
theeople of this . section if the weather
doesnot become more settled, for nearly
all the crops have reached thatstate when
it becomes imperative that they should be
under cover. -
NOT BAD.=A' highly -respected gentle-
man"dropped into a.place in town -the other
day, and during the course ofthe usual
conversation which will lag this desultory
weather, the subject of writing and its im-
portance was discussed.` Alter each had
:tried and; shown a specimen'of his. writing,
with the usual complimentary" .comments
following, our hard C. working friend
grasped the pen and saidThe would see"
if he could make his mark. He
did so, and "a". more even and plainer.
signature would be hard to find. Being p
asked if he did much writing,' he replied
that he did and kept a diary of every day's
doings, and could tell where he was and
what he had been doing this day seven,
years ago, even to each time he had been
on the spree. "Well then, when you have
that to write ,"asked our iniquitous one,

Naw ORGAN' FACTORY. -For some time
[past rumors have been in circulation to
the effect that another organ factory was
to be established here. We believe the
rumors are well " founded, and that ar-
rangements will soon be completed ' for
the commencement of the- factory.
FAST WoP.a —Craib, 11Iacwhirter&.Co,..
.of this town, received -an order for a suit
of clothes one evening last week, from a
gentleman from Chicago, and the next
evening the --gentleman. was wearing the
suit, pronouncing it as good a fit as ever
made for him in -the city of the west,
Mr. T. K. Anderson being the cutter.
A PRIVATE letter from a Huronite at
Ruttanville, Manitoba,- under date July
• 28th, says that "The .lasttwo weeks hav-e
been very wet, and there has been, no
chance to make hay. The crops look well
but are not so early 'by two weeks as last
year; If frost comes as early -as it has;the
last three years, there will be 'some grain
damaged by frost."
RIFLE AssocxATIoi. -At'a meeting of

present the Association`:: at the matches in
Toronto this month, to consist of Major.
Wilson and Sergt. Munroe, of Seaford',
and the three men who make ,the highest
score in five practises.
Fon CASH ONLY The bakers,. here
have decided that after the 1st of,Sept-
ember next, their businesswill be -con
dueted on a cash basis. This is right, and
will be a benefit to both themselves and
their :customers; and the general public
should lend their cordial assistance in en-
abling the bakers to carry out their re-
solution, which could be profitably imi-
tated by other business parties.
