not appeared above ground, but it is now
growing rapidly.
AMATEUR 'TUG of WAR"-flinoe the
celebration of the Caledonian games in
Lacknow, our school boys, have taken a

now between Huron and Bruce.

CAUGHT. -During the season thieves
have bean raiding on the grapier,. of Mr.
C. McPhee , Colborne. The last attempt
was made on f4sturday about midnight.
Four young men of the township, with
a rig, approached the grapery, and entered
thmugb a hole burrowed under the
fence. They bad neared the luscious
clusters, when the report of a shot -gen
broke upon the stillness of the night.
One of the- thieves bellowed so loudly
slut his companions believed him to have
been shot, but it appears that there was
only a blank charge in the weapon. The
marauders then fled, but were met nn the
road by certain of Mr. McPhee's friends
who were on the look out, and if they de
not pay hendsntnely for the damage done
to the garden they will probably i►e pro-
secuted. They will have a terror of shot-
guns in the future.

ATTEMPT To COMMIT SUICIDE,-Chas.
Wilkie, who for some time has been
working at the flax mill in Exeter North,
attempted to commit suicide on Saturday
night last, at the Lorne House, by
cutting his throat with a jack-knife.
The wounds though -serious, have not as
yet proved fatal,- and it is hoped under
Dr. Morse's treatment he may recover.
Strong drink and a low, desponding
state of mind are the muses assigned for
the real act.
SUDDEN DEATH,-Mrs Godbolt, Sr.,
of Winchelsea; died very suddenly on
Monday morning last. Her son-in-law,
Dr. Brawn, of Wroxeter, who came
down to bury his father, the late John
Brawn, whose sudden death was noticed

TEACHER ENGAGED. -Mr. John McIn-
tosh, of Brucefield, has been engaged as
teacher for next year in School section
No. 1. The salary is $350. There were
14 applicants for the position. The
te*chmg profession seems to be very
much over -run.
MORE IMPoRTED HORSES.-Mr Charles
Ma. •n, of Brucefield, arrived home from
the Old Country on Saturday last. As
we before stated, he brought with him
three heavy draught stallions. One of
these is two years old. He is a beauti-
ful bright bay, with white hind feet and
a white line in the face. He is an im-
mense, massive animal, with plenty of
hair, good bona and splendid action, and
for his class is very stylish. He is really
a most superior animal, and ahowi true
Clydesdale blood, The other two are
yearlings, one a bay and the other a
black. They, also, are superior animals.
Mr. Mason is one of our pioneer import-
ers, and has persevered in the fees ° of
misfortunes and discouragement' which
would have utterly disheartened many
less courageous and plucky men. He
has had his share of both gond and bad
luck, but II perseverance and push meet
their just reward, our old friend will yet
make his fortune out of 'horse flesh, and
we sincerely hope that his recent splen-
did importations will go at least a good
way towards the accompliahment of that
