Live requires not so much proof as

love.

Self-love is a medium of a peculiar

farmer of moderate means, who was com-
pelled to work constantly for the support

for his start in active life.
Andrew Jackson was born in a log hut
in extreme poverty. He grew up in the
woods of North Carolina, living in the
home of a relative, where his mother
worked to support herself and her three
children.
James K. Polk, the eleventh president,
spent his early days on a feral in the
wilderness of North Carolina. His fath-
er placed him in a store with the inten-
tion that he should enter mercantile life,
but his dislike for business was so great
that at the age of eighteen, he was sent
to the Murfreesboro' academy to fit him
for college.
Millard Filmore was the son of a New
York fernier, and his home was an hum-

DoiNo A Game Bumnass.--Mr. D.
McLennan, our grain buyer, is doing a
large business here thus season. His

the amou.it of grain that finds a market
in this plat*.
ROltaalty. —The store of Mr. Henry
Schaffer of this place was broken into un
Monday night last. Entrance was gained
to the store by breaking the glass at the
aide of the door and then reaching in
and unfastening it. After gaining an
entrance the thieves lit a lamp and ran -
tacked some of the drawers and shelves
and made their way to the cellar. There
was very little of any account taken
from the store. The culprits are sup-
posed to be a couple of young lads who
are said to come from the vicinity of
Grand Bend, and who have been seen
prowling around for some days.

ever since. He left a family ef six sone,
with one exception all residents tof Gray,
and a daughter married to Andrew Lees..
The funeral on Friday was attended by
a very large concourse if people, who

Considerable trouble and annoyance
has been experienced in connection with
insurance and taxes on the Ronald
Foundry. The Council had. paid $90
insuraece, so as to secure themselves in
case of fire, when Mr. Ronald refused.
This week he was removing goods from
the foundry and shipping thein away, so
the Reeve got nut an attachment on the
same, and although Mr. Ronald objected,
Bailiff Scott took positession and only re-
leased them on receipt of the amount due.

morning by Mr. John Knox, of Howick,
which were grown on a tree in his Or-
chard. Some of them blossomed in May
last and were plucked in September, and
were plucked on Monday last. Though
rather smaller than the first lot, the se-
cond lot were fully developed and as
good to the taste. Mr. Knob .says this
troe was heavily laden last year. from
which we would infer that it is fully en-
titled to be called a very profitable
tree.

West VitraassL
14.vsolorr.—Oe Koaday of lest week,
a young man named Ellis, son of Mr.
Robert Ellis, of the lltb tionoeseicm of
West Wawanosh, met with a very ser-
ious socoi
k eat It appears that he was
riding horseback along the 12th eon-
immaion 0 Wawanosh, when the horse
suddenly broke through a oulyert and
threw him with great force, head first,
to the :ground. inflicting several severe
outs about the head and tam Hp was
at once conveyed to his home and medi-
cal aid sent fur, and his wounds Ware
dressed. This is the third time the
young man met with a similar accident.
The horse was also seriously injured.
The council of West Wawanosh have
let the contract of cutting a huge drabs
from the township of Colborne to near
the sixth concession of West Wawanosh.
The drain will be between four and five
rallies hi length, eight feet wide at the
top, three feet wide at the bottom, and
averages about five feet deep. It will
cost over $3000, which will be paid in ten
yearly instalments, with five per cent.
interest, by the parties whose property
will be benefitted thereby. As the drain
runs through a tract of land wholely un-
fit for cultivation in the present state of
the watercourse, it will increase the value
of the property immensely. As the con-
tract is somewhat larger than our local
ditchershave been accustomed to venture,
the council have had considerable diffi-
culty in getting the "White Elephant"
out to pasture, and no doubt feel consid-
erably relieved. The contractor is Mr.
David Keys, from the neighborhood of
Kincardine, and from his reputed ener-
gy and perseverence, will no .doubt push
the work to completion. As the fall of
water is so small, it will be neoessary to
do all the work from one end, and there-
fore the job will take two summers to
oompleie it.
A Consilium Sprats.
When anything worth saying is spoken
in that terse and pointed way that bears
the impress of honest conviction, we like
to have people know the nature of the
communication. Of such a nature is the
following from Mr. W. F. Heist, Camp-
den P. 0., Lincoln Co., Ontario. Mr.
Baird says: With great joy over my re-
stored health, I would write a few lines
concerning that wonderful remedy, St.
Jacob's Oil. For the last six years I
have been using various medicines inter-
nally and externally, but nothing would
help me. Finally I procured a bottle of
St. Jacob's Oil, which cured me pfter a
few applications. My mother-in-law,
who has also been a great sufferer from
rheumatism, was also instantly relieved
by thd use of the Great German Remedy.
St. Jacobs Oil is a great blessing to suf-
fering humanity, and I shall do every-
thing in my power to make known its
merits.
