REc0VERING HIS SIGHT —_Mr. Jas. L.
Sheppard's son;who'inet-with-the-painful-
acccident reported a short time ago by fal-
ling
alling from a tree and injuring one of hi
eyes, is gradually.. recovering the sight of
the same. We are pleased to learn .this,
and hope his sight maybe restored to him
as before.
Wiix is IT?—A list of the various 'fall
shows to be held in.this county appears'•in
several of our local exchanges, but that
one to be h.eld•in Clinton` on the 18th and
19th of . Sept. is, oinittedfroiii the list, al-
though :the act has been long since an-
nounced. The same omission occurred'
last year, until.attentien was directed to it
by the NEW ERA. • -
A HANDSOME Pxisrsi NT —Mr. E. Do-

a very valuable present the other day from
'YE. Archer, Esq., manager of the Carrick
Banking Company, Mildniay, of a splen-

exhibit him at the London Bench Show

• in, but many of them had to be refused
because. they were too 'soft to be used for
milling. Unless farmers exercise 'great
care with the damp grain, a considerable.
amount of it will be worth little. ' .
HORTICULTURAL.—A • little .„attention
should now be given to fruit�an'd orna-
mental trees, and . find; out whether the
tent caterpillar has made a lodgment in•
them. They can easily bei detected by
the web surrounding them,' and to de-
stroy them the branch should be cut off
and burnt, or the insects ;crushed.' : If not
destroyed now they may become too nu-
merous next year. to deal with—
Convenient-ly. A number of .shade trees .have been
destroyed or injured by cows, the owners-
of which are liable for.the,damage., `:Shade'

of the cow or boxed -in --or., perhaps a bet-

BicYci;iN .-Several of the members
of the Aylmer and London Bicycle Club'.
passed through town en Saturday morn_
doen route for Godcrrtl . 'The?-leftLon-`
n at half -past five mi Friday even-
ing, and made Liman for supper, then.
rode to Exeter, a distance of thirteen
miles, after dark, without 'lanterns, which'
they regard as a high cenipliment- to tlse
road over which they .travelled. They
reached Clinton. at. -about 11 .a.m., ;Satur-
day, and got to Goderich in,time .for din,--
:mer, and then proceeded to Point Patin,.
having clone the whole distance—severity
miles—in eight hours'. After•stoppingg at.
-the Point Farm they returned to London,'
via,Seaforth, on Tuesdays: A•• feature:'of •
the trip worthy of note is that in':going,to,
Goderich Mr. ,Doolittlew'ent up:the hill
at Holmesville, a very Tong and heavy
grade, arks in returning all the members
of the party rode their wheels down the.
many hills between this place and Gode-
rich. They admit that the -roads through-
out Huron countyare the 'best suited, for
bicycle riding of any iin`Ontario.
MAMMOTH STRAW" STACK.—Our react
ers have already been told of the large'
field of fall wheat on the Ransford estate,-
and they will, of -course, naturally desire
to hear how it turnedout, and ':we • are
glad to be able :td say that iMiss—furred -
out exceedingly well, and from it may
now. be seen. one of the largest stacks ,of
straw that was ever built, being over'
sixty feet square and' fifty feet high,l'tle,�
ground:upon which it stands' being about
twelve feet lower than tliebarn floor •on
which the separator ,stands; then, a hole.
was cut in the roof 'through which the
carriers went, and then it required foie or
six 'men to pitch .the straw to the top of.
the stack. The steam thresher was: 81
long.dosis.-jis threshing Out the field, and
th'e yield will be over 4,000 bushels df
wheat. .When to this 'is added the pro-
duct of another, field of twenty-five acres,
on the sante Farris, :yielding as heavy a
crop., it will be realized, id some extent,.
how large the farm is, .incl the iinmense
yield ofwheat that has been: reaped' -this;
year. A very large quantity of salt was
spread on the :large field- of wheat, Which,
no doubt, aided •much in stiffening the
.straw and increasing theyield,
strongly �rgainst -their treatment. Of
course the large numbers . present may
have had something' to do with running
up the prices, which are high, Monday
being London's civic holiday,' a very large
number frons that city spent. the day in
Goderich.
• LARGE YIELD, This year the fall
wheat crop has been an unusually prolific
one' in almost all parts of the continent,
and there is no doubt trait what some fields.
have . been - good beyond all precedent.
We have heard of several farmers already
before' much threshing has been done,
having over forty bushels to the acre, all
round, but the largest yet heard of is that
of a small field in ,connection with', Mr.
McGaxva's salt block, containing less than
13 acres,•from which was reaped 86_ bush-
els of merchantable wheat, and two or

three bushels of screenings,-- and plenty left
on the ground to re -sow it. Who can beat
ti
this'? The ground had a good dressing of •
ashes and salt The largest' yield for a
large• quantity in this - section; that we
know of, was 'raised on the farm ot Mr.
James Fair, several years ago; when lie

BASE " BAT -L. —"Tse rest ents 0
Smith, Combe and Brick Blocks issued
-challenge, ;`last week, to play any,, other
block,; a game, of base ball; which Was
promptly taken up by, the Victoria Bloch,
and four innings was Iplayedon Tuesday
last. The captain from the team of the
three blocks agreed to have his umpire
and -players in the field at four'o'clock,-
*but the umpire "not appearing another
was chosen, and the - game' commenced;
which,, at tie end bf the third innings,.
stood 9 to 5 in favor of the Victoria. The'
nmpire originally chosen now appeared,
and • the' opposing team wished to have
him go in and umpire, but to this the
Victorias objected, as there was no cause
for complaint. The'players then indulg-
ed in some' unseemly language,using some
very' insulting remarks to the players,.
after which the Victorias refused to play.
Sonie of the players say that the next time
the captain ,issues a challenge he should
deport himself a little more becomingly.:
SUICIDE.—About five o'clock on Mon-
day: morning' a tailor, named' Robert _At-
chison; - working ' at Messrs. ',Craib, . Mac-
wbirter & Co's, and boarding at Mr. Chas.
Kaine's, ,Princess street east, was found
to have cut; his throat on the right side,
andmade a ,deep incision on leftarna.
The wound on his throat, although sever
ing the jugular vein'. and carotid artery,
did not result in his death till about an
hour and a half after it was given., .: He
was a man of about sixty years of age; un-,
married, .and 'niuch given to drinking, he
being at the time the act was committed:
in a state of deliriuniiAs soon as discov
ered medical assistance was. obtained and
efforts made to tie' up the arteries, but all
attempts to save his life were. ineffectual.
As the windpipe was not severed he was
able to speak when .found, andasked, for
water, which was "given him. His body'
was: sent to Seaforth for interment, where
he had friends residing. He wasan ex-
cellent workman, but ashort ;time ago lost,
$30 in a Seaforth house, which caused him'-.
considerable annoyance, and apparently
worked on his mind.
