Early in the spring a growth of suspicious character began to develop itself at the root of the tongue and soon extended into the ad- jacent parts, when it was observed to be of cancerous ori in. Toronto, Hamilton and other places were visited, but medi- cal science oould hold no hope to the un- fortunate victim, who for several months subsequently suffered extremely, and as this deadly disease progressed he was able to receive but a very insufficient amount of nourishment for several weeks previous to his death.

Stationery \ND Jot' RULE WARFARE..—To say that there was a row at one of the streetelcor- nen last Saturday night wonld be a very mild statement of the affair. ' The deuce was to pay—excuse the term, but no milder word will answer. In the lexi- oon of piety, which I very much prefer, there is no word strong enough to ex- press such juvenile cussedness as took piece thatnight,and which seemed to have been in full bloom. The whole street corner appeared un the brink of a civil war. Owing to some uncomfortable ares or other, an ill feeling has existed for some time past, between the urchins of Cranford and those of this village. Probably in the hope of having the feud settled nn -some manner, shape or form, the Cranford urchins concluded to send (with a body guard of a few chosen "men,") a representative here on the above mentioned night, to confer with the "onmmander-in-chief" of the juvenile army of this place. And the result was that atter' a y discussion, carried on in anything but • low tone of voice. and delivered in anything but polite Ian- guags, the Crawford representative p�1.d or," strutted out, and challeng- ed bis adversary to settle the question at issue with the Lists. To this the Dun- gannonits had no objections, so at it they wean. and an odd dstroetas of beauty oummemoed• All our residents who vitamin' the affair --aid they seem - to be out en canoe—deesrve to be sm- eared for the way they stood and ',stok- ed those two little fellows pummelling each other without raising a finger to stop it Instead of this, they enjoyseltbe right hugely, and so the boys, without interruption, pounded each other until they were tired. Ye Gods' what will our village come to if such corruption of moral in the "rising generation is allowed to go unchecked? Our lockup. I am afraid, is nothing mon than a big "scare -cow," and the "orows," it seerms are gating used to the '`seam."

Fortunately he was not other- wise injured. Mr. Thomas E. Dennie, of the Huron Road, McKillop, has left slith us a sam- ple of black oats which he procured from a seednnan in Winnipeg. These oats were grown this season and the yield was 118 bushel per ,acre. They were grown on a farm near Winnipeg, and are ofd as good a quality as our com- mon oats. —Expositor. mere at datrghtews Ounces. L.tw Orncs.—We observe that Mr. James Scott, who was recently called to the bar, has opened a law office in Clin- ton, county of Huron. Mr. Scott is a young man of more than average pro- mise. A GOOD IDSA.—Mr. Wm. Jackson has introduced a plan of giving information to the public that will be appreciated by business men, and traveller especially. He has placed outside of his store a blackboard, and having telephone com- munication with the railways, the fact of express or mail trains being on time, or late, is pencilled on the board. He also intends making announcements of any important event that transpires. A MA1osora Sroasaorss.—As the traveller from the east approaches Clin- ton on the Grand Trunk Railway, he is struck by the appearance of an immense frame structure, which he hardly needs to be informed is a warehouse This is the build's' late completed by and for the nae of Mr. R Irwin, grain buyer, and a brief describtion of its ca- mt� etc., may interest our readers. the grewnd is sa immense hop- per. capable of holding 5,000 bushels of grain, and at either mid of it a set of scale capable of weighing 0000 lbs., with separate weight ban for wheat, oats and barley, and one for the odd pounds. As noon as a load of grata arrives, the whole bads put on the soak and weigh- ed at one drought, which, it will be seen, is much more convenient than making two or mon drsoghta of a load.
