Fi7:zee:-Some time ago, two farmers, of this township, who had some swamp land in Essex County, thought they had struck a Bonanza, as it was stated at that time that their land was in the oil regions, and that a company of American had leased it, our two fri- ends to receive every tenth barrel, but it is now reported that the whole thing is a "Fad"and that there is no oil of any account in that district and the wealthy company is reported to be composed of "Yankee Fakirs who will however hold the land. One of these same far- mers was gulled some time ago by lightning rod pedlers. Clandeboye. The shipping of fowl seems to be an industry now, may shipments having been made of late. A great deal of hay has been shipped from the station during the past few weeks, one farmer alone having sold nearly fifty tons. On account of the large crop the price realized is not very large. It is reported thatthe yield of wheat threshed by Mr. Milton Shoults is over. thirty bushels to the acre.
