FALL WHEAT.— Two gentlemen
who have travelled pretty well over
the northern sections of the county,
inform us that the fall wheat, not
withstanding the late rains, looks
very poor indeed,and will not be half
a crop. One gentleman said that it
looked better in the township of Grey
than anywhere else in the county.
On the other hand a gentleman from
Stanley told us he hadn't plowed up
a grain, and had as fine a field of fall
wheat as any one wished to look upon.
This, however, is exceptional, but if
anyone wishes to see a couple of fields
of as fine looking wheat as could be
desired, they have but to visit the
Ransford or Fair farms, near town,
and will see wheat that cannot 'be
surpassed in Canada.
DIED 1 MANITOBA.—Word was
received here last week of the death
of Mr John joslin, jr., (son of J.
Joslin, Virden, Man.,) brother of Mrs

is presumed that he died while in
one of these.
MORE THAN ANNOYING, — The

A WORD OF ADVICE,—We have
an excellent Board for the manage-
ment of the Collegiate Instituto, and
we would like to give them a pointer
,if they will not consider it officious.
The Institute has a record that is un-
surpassed in the Province the
town people have contributed liber-
ally towards its progress, and they,
have a right to expect that the merits
of the Institute should be made
known "where it will do most good,"
in order to get the very best returns.
Now $50 or $100 spent in judicious
advertisieg, in papers located within
a reasonable radius of the town,
would, in our opinion, be money well
spent. The Board want to get all
the pupils that the Institute will at •
comodate, and the best method to do
this, is to "push" the school by ad-
vertising. Get half a dozen engrav-
ings of the building made, gentlemen,
and try this. We will guarantee the
townspeople will back you in the un-
dertaking.
EXAmiNATIONS.—At the forthcom•
ing examinations 57 will write here

12 for first C, and several for -Uni-
versity work. At Seaforth 17 write
for 2nds, and 98 for, 3rds, For the
entrance examinations about 100
candidates will write at each place.
• FISHING.—011 the 24th four young
men from London came up on the

experience was that they caught four
small Ash,one of the men fell into the

the creek until his clothes dried.

MORE SCARED THAN H CRT.—
When the London train arrived here
on Tuesday morning, the usually
jovial and easy-going conductor,John
Bailey, rushed into the office in high
dudgeon, and demanded that Supt.
Tiffin be communicated with. 'The
trouble was this :—At Hensall a
number of Lutheran ministers,several
of them accompanied by children,got
on board. Some of the passengers
then noticed that a couple of the,
children had the measles, and John
objected to their presence. The child-
ren had caught the measles while at
Zurich and were anxious to get to
their home at Neustadt. Mr Bailey
wanted to leave them off here, and
asked the Superintendent for orders.
In the meantime friends of the child-
ren begged the conductor to take them
along, as he had brought them so fay,
and no answer being received from
Mr Tiffin, the train proceeded on its
way after half -an -hours delay. Mr
Pattison asked the passengers it any
of them were afraid to stayon the
train, and no one so signifying, the
children were allowed to proceed
hotneward.
CRUEL — A cruel report gained
currency -this week concerning a re
cent intsrment in the cemetery. It
is hardly necessary to say that there
was not a word of truth in the re-
port, and the originators ot it, would
have saved Some people pain, had
they been more thoughtful. We
have the very bolt of authority for
saying, also, that the reports concern-
ing the death of the individual in
question had not the slightest foun-
dation.
ACQUITTEIL—The case against J.
Tewsley came up for examination be- 1
fore Judge Doyle. on Tuesday last.
A number of witnesses were examin-
ed on both sides, but the Judge stat-
ed that there was no evidence what-
ever to show that Morrison had the
money in his possession at the time
the alleged robbery took place, nor
was there any evidence to show that
defendent wal'' concerned in the af-
fair, and he accquitted him accord-
s ingly.

HOW Two Sewn's GOT LEFT. —
Said Charlie to Joe, " on Thursday
we'll go, out into Hullett for trout."
So they hired a rig—a four-wheel .1
gig, and started to make their way
out. They reached the place soon—
an hour before noon,with an appetite
keen' as a razor. Their horse they
then tied, to a farmer's barnside, and
to bim they said, " Gond day, sir."
Spoke the farmer tsejoe—"into dinner
we'll go,"—they needed no second
invite. They sat themselves down,to
a dinner done brown, and, left not so
much as a bite. They tarried thus
there, enjoying good fare, and forgot
that they came out for fun. Atter-
awhile to the trout brook, with fish
line and nice book, they went on a
straight, quick run. But while they
bad waited some other bad baited his
hook with a fine tempting fly. And
bad caught all the trout there was
thereabout—he had taken a god
dozen or more. So Charlie and Joe,
bank to Clinton must go,
with email
little fish,only four. But they wanted
to buy,(and did certainly try,) the
fine string the other one bad. Not a
fish would ,he sell, so their counten•
ance fell, and to town they came back
feeling bad.

we are not surprised, for the mayor,
charitable though he is, is not the
