The Hyers' Colored Minstrel troupe played three nights here last week under the auspices of the Brass Band. They are one of the best troupes travelling and deserved a large house. They will likely return in the near future and will, no doubt be greeted with large houses. Many parents do not seem to under- stand that it is better for a child to come to school, though 11e be necessari- ly tardy, than to stay out a half day. [t frequently happens that just the les• son, the explanation lie most needs, is the one he misses, The lessons are each related the one to the other, so that one cannot be missed without affecting the understanding of the others, hence the necessity of regular attendance. Quite a number of boys in town have suddenly developed a mania for des- troying buds nc1birds eggs Perhaps they are not aware that they are ren- dering themselves liable to a fine of not Tess than $1 and costs for each egg of ineectiverous birds and, $6 for each game bird's egg found in their possess- ion. Unless the cruel and iiufarons Practice is stopped st once sonin of them will firnd themselves in the clutches of the law. Saturday last was n day of boom for the butter and e e marizet of this place Ind. although tat;Saturday pre- vious was an extra busy it was of no comparison tothat of the latter'. About $900 worth of produce was disposed of add the prices realized were good. It goes to show that the have one of the leading butter and egg markets in the county as farmers at a distance of eighteen miles were here with their produce. "Why don't you 'run, a paper, like that?" said a merchant to ac, publisher, throwing down a blanket.sheet city daily. "Why don't you run a store like that?" said thepublisher of the country sheet es he turned the paper over and pointed to a full-page adver- tisement that brought the city publish- er $250 an issue, Just then the conn• try publisher presented a monthly bill for $5, and the merehant began to talk of economizing by cutting downhis ad- vertisement and stopping his paper. He did both and the sheriff is now doing his advertising for him. "What does a fanner want with, a local paper?" Well, that depends upon what kind of a farmer he is If ho is intelligent, wide awake and progres- sive he wants to know what is going on in the community in which he is a resident. He wishes to get the news in full, not a selection and condensation of it merely. He will be anxious to be abreast of the times, to know what is astir, to be acquainted with important events and proceedings, and to keep pace with progress and improvement in every department of affairs. It breaks up the dull monotony of life on the farm and furnishes food for reflect- ion amid the routine of daily work. But above all, a thorough farmer needs to study the markets, to know some- thing about crop prospects, and to reg- ulate production by probable demand. For these and such like reasons, a good farmer will feel that he must have his local paper. Dr. Ahrens, the Grit candidate for North Perth, who is ,credited with stat- ing on the platform that he could not speak, but if the audience wished he would, sing a song or chance a jig, seems to have broken itis record, for the Strat- ford Tinges reports hint thus:—"Dr. Ahrens was• heartily welcomed.

Strayed Away The little three year oldchild of Mr• John Loadman, of London Road, Us - borne, strayed from its home to a neigh- bors bush, where it had remained for several hours before the anxious par- ents discovered it, and when found was quite contented in a mud hole.

George McArthur, clerk of the Presbytery of Brockville, in writ- ing to the Morrisburg Courier, says that he along with the Moderator of Presbytery on their way home called to see James Page, the oldest magi, we think, in Canada, or perhaps in any country. He is 118 years old. He re- members Napoleon Bonaparte and fought under Admiral Lord Nelson. Be took la grippe last winter and is now iii a dying condition. When we offered to pray with hien he was glad, and attempted to rise He spoke very little, but seemed to think the end was near. AMagnificent Meteor. HCO7falton times "Abrilliant meteor fell in the west end on Friday night. It was seen by a great many residents on the Heights, and Mr. Aaron Bowden and one of his workmen saw it so dis- tinctly and ,heard the noise of its con- tact with the earth so plainly, that the workman rushed behind the fence and into the field beyond to see where it had descended. Mr. Bowden says that when near the earth that there was an explosion and two bodies resembling huge red hot bars of iron were formed. They felt the heat from the ,sizzling mass: No trace of it could be found, The phenomenon occurred about 7 o'clock," Cleverly Caught. The Acton Free Press says: An en- terprising' tea pedlar'calle,d at a farm house the other day and was invited by the hospitable lady of the house to stop for supper.

"Yes," answered the lady of the house, "it is eery boor tea, but 1 was just try- ing one of your own samples," IEti1,'u1y Celebration )in &:Bunton.

DEATH OF Mxs• WLnisY.—We are very sorry indeed to announce the death of Mrs. James Werry, which e- vent occurred after a short illness, on Saturday night last, She was born in the township of Usborno, Oct, lltli, 1850, and was the third daughter of Wm. Perkins, Esq., of Exeter, About four weeks ago she was taken ill; it was thought at first she would recover but on Thursday last there was a change for theandnotwithstanding all worse, that skilled treatment and bost of nurs- ing could do, she chid not rally; but quietly fell asleep on Saturday even- ing, the 24t1i inst., . about' 11 o'clock. The funeral took place from her bus band's residence on Tuesday afternoon, and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. The ltev. Mr. Edge conducted the funeral obsequies. Mrs. Werry was a sincere christain, a member of the Ontario Methodist church, Members of the church and. choir tendered their sympathies, ac- companied with large contributions of flowers. In her death the church loses a much respected and useful member, the husband a devoted wife, and the, children an affectionate and loving We ° mother. �1 e bespeak for the family the sympathy of the community in this hour of sad bereavement. She leaves two children, both of whom have been seriously ill, also, but are now out of danger. Murder near Stratford. It was currently reported on the street to -day that a murder had been committed at Bornholm, about 17 miles from Stratford, in the township of Lo- gan. The Crown Attorney was waited upon by your correspondent for a con- firmation of the report, but he refused to give and information regarding the matter. A visit to Coroner P.R. Shaver was no less satisfactory, as he had gone out to the scene of murder to hold an inquest. Bornholm is a small country place, with a hotel, store,post office and black- smith shop. The scene of the murder is in the llth concession of Logan. The facts of the case, as Nearly as can be gleamed, are as follows:—Wm. Rumford and. Robert E. Houghton are neighbors. They both own small farms in Logan. On Thursday they were Logging in a field, when they had some words over a line fence. Airs. Hough- ton was also present. The men's tem- per got the better of them. Rumford picked up a crowbar, and without fur- ther ceremony sent it crushing down on the skull of Houghton,smashing the frontal and parietal bones and killing hint almost instantly When he be- came conscious of what he had done he sobbed bitterly and seemed to be very repentant. The body was taken to the house of the deceased and a medical man sent for, who, after viewing the body, stated that he had been dead for several hours. County Crown Attorney Idington was notified, and the coroner, P. R. Shaver, was instructed to go out and hold an inquest. A court was opened at the house of the deceased, and the statement of the murdered man's wife was taken. She detailed how the two were logging, and that they had a quarrel, with the result as above stated. The coroner issued his warrant for the arrest of Rumford, and ordered the body to be buried. The deceased is a young man of about 24 years of age; a blonde, witha slight moustache, and good looking. There area hundred and one rumors as to there being an old grudge be- tween the two, and that Rumford was waiting for the opportunity which he availed himself of on Tuesday. Drs. Hur'burt and Murray, of Mit- chell, will hold a postmortem examina- tion of the body to -night. The Court was adjourned until Friday, at Bornholm.. Absolutely Pure. This powder never vanes.
