We have been advised that the
United Empire ran aground at the
harbor entrance recently because she
did not keep within the lino marked
by the dredge party. The dredge
it appears cuts out a certain width
of channel necessarily leaving on
the sides quite a 'ridge on ono of
which the Empire grated. Although
an excellent channel is being out
the width of the harbor °thence, a
considerable ridge is left on each
side, over which, as of yore, all sand
or small stones washed along the
bottom naturally drop, soon closing
tho channel made. Until the Got -
eminent orders these ridges to bo
beveled off, there is little likelihood
of a continuous free entry to the
harbor. It must be understood that
in writing on this subject we are
not reflecting on tho commander of
the dredging party, who wo belly°
to bo a competent and painstaking
official, but that the' Government
may so conduct the 'wok that the
opening of tho entrance to 'our har-
bor will not be an annual necessity.

There was great excitement in our

the Wren Queen St. by having;a
baulky spell. It could not be in-
duced to draw the rig either ono
way or the other no matter how
much they coaxed it. It was con-
sidered by the crowd to be the most
obstinate brute that they had ever
seen. At last a remedy was suggest-
ed by some of our horseman which
was effectual. A long pole was
placed under the belly close to the
front legs with several men at each
end so as to lift the animal just off
the ground and run with it. After
repeating this dose two or thtee
times the animal went off, of its own
accord, like lightning. This spas-
modic fit of locomotion was quite a
=prise to the crowd and "brought
dawn thehouse."

_Early Ifridayomorning last, clur
ing a heavy rainstorm, the large
frombarn and two log OHM adja-
ceut to it, of Mr. James Richardson
of the 12Eh con., with contents,
wore•totally destroyed by fire caused
by lightening. Mr. Richardson
had about 300 bushels ot' wheat, the
surplus of the last two years,. and
the unthreshed prodnce of fire acres
-of this year's fall wheat, in the barn,.
Also all his' implements, consisting
in part of double and single bilg-
e
oioes. wagon, sleigh, land toilet;
seedolrill, harness and the various
implements used about a welt ap-
pointed farm fully equipped with
all necessary conteniences. There
wore also a number of fowl. Tho
only things saved in the -lines refer-
red to were a 'cradle, 'which hap-
peded to be on the fence, and a cut-
ter which was last used by. his son-
in-laWand is still with him: 'As near
as we could learn • the -loss will be
43,000,ecovered by $900 insurance.
, Tho fall wheat in this section was
all cut last week and Ono half put
in the barn. The yield will not ,be
a good average' as the spring killing
was ,very plain to be seen in the
uneven ripening of tho grain. I
think many were deceived by • the
green spots and delayed the cutting
a week too long. Great loss by
shelling was the consequence. A
good farmer in Stanley said he
lost ono third, that tho sheaves
looked as if tlioy had boon thresh-
ed' by the flail. Many did not cut"
the hay in time and the wheat came
rushing on so both hay and wheat
harvest as mixed, and much loss
in quality if not in quantity _was
sustained. In looking at the farms
in many places as seen from the
road evidence of very bad farth-
ing "shall I say it" is too often seen
thistles occupying the place and
choking out the grain. When on,
these farms the capital invested is
$8,000 a very final!, too small a
sum, is intelligently applied in
Jabor.
The mortality of foals in this vic-

The county of Huron is celebrated

If our horsemen could point out a

the most profitable branches of mix-
ed farming. Ono man near here
lost 4, another 3 colts, another stinted
