BErninataa NoneleitiEs -The spring
season's delivery of stock trona the
John Stewart Estate nurseries is now
over and the proprietors report a pros-
perous season. The number of orders
to be filled this yea' was fax in excess
of any season since the nurseries were
started, which goes to prove that the
many customers are satisfied that the
homegrown trees, shrubs and. ever-.
greens. are better adapted to their
wants than the trees imported from a
distance. Of late the firm has reached
out through their salesmen into the
southern townships of Hay, Stanley
and vicinity, and the large delivery in
the villages of Zurich and,, Remelt last
week brought forth from the satisfied
customers high praisesof the superi-
ority or the stock and the fresh con-
dition in which trees and shrubs were
delivered. In a week or two the firm
will be in the full swing of their deliv-
ery of flowers, tonaato plants, hanging
baskets, etc., from the glass booties.
*That season of the year induces many
to carne here to select their bedding
plants, and, a visit to this well -kept
nursery is looked upon as one Of the
most pleasant outings of the year.
Tom WooLLEN PA'eTea•v.---Perhaps
there is no mad better known in the
whole county than Jesse Gledhill, the
honest old woollen man of the Ben.
miller woollen factory. From small
beginnings some forty years ago, he
has, by close attention to business and
by studying the wants of his customers
established a trade which more pre-
tentious establishments might envy.
When he tells you that his naanufaet•
ured goods „are all of pure wool you
can rely upon it, for it is his boast that
one pound of shobby has never enter-
ed his ,mill. During thepast winter
two new and to the uninitiated, very
complicated pieces of machinery have
been installed for the finishing off of
the many petterns of cloth made here,
and Mr. Gledhill has now a perfect
mountain ot rolls, webs, or whatever
else you may call them, in readiness
for his customers when they come to
sell their wool during the sheepshear-
ing time. • TLe Benmiller blankets are
known all over, and rnany an ancient
housewife will tell you that the first
blankets she ever bought after she was
married ever scamany years ago were
from Berm:tiller, and that they are.
quite good yet. Owing to the low
price that wool had been ruling at for
a few years the farmers had alnoost
gone out of raising sheep, but ,of late
they have procured a f resh lot of better
breeds, since the rise in the price both
of lambs and of wool has made the
reising of sheep more profitable' ' and
this year Mr. Gledhill expects to be
able to handle a large -quantity of
wool in exchange for his manufactures
or will buy for cash as usual.

have taken him while out walking on
the beach, and that he fell into the'
water and was unable to move himself.
He resided in Colborne for years, and
was twice married., his second wife
being a Miss May ; he leaves a family
