We are in receipt of correspondence sent from Centralia with no signature affixed thereto,. which we decline to publish. We have repeatedly stated that articles for publication sent to this office bearing no name will be corisig n - cd to the waste basket. • We do not want the name for publication, but as good faith. Bear .this in mind.. An eastern man event out to view the great west; and from some boom ing town in Colorado he writes the fol- lowingreasonable aed probably truth - a ful letter home: "This is indeed a wonderful country. Every hamlet is a town, every town is a city, every farm a ranch, every barnyard a corral,eyei-y mount a mountain, and every man a liar." An old man named Taylor, whose family lives in Dundas, took up his quarters on Main-st. last week and began the 'business of sharpening* raoi•s and scissors, Like tae Many of his class he was given to drink and when intoxicated andirritated used language more forcible than select.. His sole companion was a Newfound, landdo; which he kept chained under the cart. On Thursday night the animal was shot by someone to the just and loudly expressed grief of the old roan. To,saythe least this avas'an uneall. for act of cruelty. The old man left town on•.Friday evening, and we have heard since that hiscart was wrecked on the road to London by *i runaway horse.

Pickard has been appoint- ed agent for the Stone a. Wellington Nursery, Toronto, and will commence his duty shortly. Mr, Robt. Spicer has been engaged by the Exeter. Milling Co, to stand at the market forthe purchase of grain for grinding purposes. On Tuesday night last a singing class was organized in the Exeter Pub - lie School, in which about fifty of the. school children took part. It is under the able hegemony of Mr, Frank Ruse, whose abilities are popularly known in this town. A New Jersey farmer says that cider will keep sweet a dozen years ` if the following recipe is followed:—Put into a barrel full of sweet cider a quart of milk, about a half a pint of mustard seed .-the black seed—and six eggs. Mix them up together and pour them in the,. barrel. A paragraph is going the rounds of the pavers to -the effect that Miss Nora Clench is engaged to German count, who is now visiting at her home in St. Marys. The rumor is untrue. Miss 'Clench's financee is a young English gentleman who has been studying phil. ology in the German universities. The anniversary services on Sunday last in the Trivitt Memorial church. were of a most interesting character. The Rev. Rural Dean Craig preached in the morning and evening to a deeply interested congregation. In his address air the afternoon to the Sunday School on the subject "Members of Christ" he applied in. a clear and effective manner Ephesians 6, xxx, making the truth interesting to the youngest child. The decorations were simple but tasteful and entirely different from other years. The choir and organist fully maintain- ed their former high universal standing.! . The organ recital of Mr. Frederick Archeron Wednesdayevg drew a large attendance. His reputation is world- wide and his playing far beyond the powers of criticism. The musical people in our midst call it the event of a lifetime to hear. Superior musical culture is only obtained by hearing such masters as Mr. Archer, and so we congatulate the enterprising organist of the Trivitt Memorial church on his successful efforts in bringing to our town such an artist as Mr. Frederick Archer. The singing of Mr. Alfred Trevor shows power of expression and careful training attained by few. For Dale: Two Bell Telephones, nearly new, must be sold, enquire at this office.

Ms theson, Exeter North, was visited by a filcher anti a number of articles carried away. This is not the first act of this kind that has been per•• petatrated in ' this neighbourhood. Should those guilty parties be caught making those nocturnalvisits they will no doubtbe dealt with: severely. Teachers. The annual institute meeting of the Teachers of West Huron will be lield in Gocierich, on Thursday and Friday,. October the 9th and 10th, when the general routine of business will be dealt with. Also the date for the fall meeting, of the East Huron Teacher's' Association has been fixed for the a- bove dates. Wingham will be the place of meeting. Con siert. On Tuesday evening last a concert under the management of Prof. Trevor, and given by the singing crass, was held in the Town Hall, and although not a largeaudience was in attend ance, the programme was fully carried out to the expectations of the people. The principal' feature of the evening was Little Fairy Morgan. whose mus- ical talent was much appreciated by all present. She is possessed of a mag- nificent voice and has a charming stage appearance. Rdethodist Conference. The general conference of the Meth odist church opened in Montreal yester- day (Wednesday) 10th inst. The Rev. A. L. Russell, pastor of James street Methodist church here was appointed delegate from this district and left on Monday for that place. The great federation question will come up for consideration before its close. In the •absence of Mr, Russell the pulpit in the James -street church will be occupied a. is follows: --On Sunday 14th the Rev. John Russell, of Eli.mville, will officiate both morning and evening; Sunday morning, Sept. 21st, Mr, Thos, Hart- null, and in the evening the Rev. Mn Wilson; and on Sunday, Sept. 28, the Rev. Mr. Redman both morning and evening. Aai,4yeSt l afe. Mr. ,los.

Off the Road. Mr. John Bailley, the old-time con- ductor on the London, Huron and Bruce railway will no more call out "tickets," having passed in his own ticket to the railway authorities. It is understood that his discontinuance is Owing to advancing years,liaving late- ly given evidence that : he is not so young as he used to be some 35 years ago, when he first entered the service of the G. W. R. Given in mistake. OnThursday of last week a four- month old child of Robt. Kerslake, Us- borne, was given a dose of Laudanum in mistake for that of a dose of Extract of Wild. Strawberry, It appears the child was not well when the mother ei.. administered this dose and some time. after it was given she noticed the child acting queer, which made • her think something had been given that was not right, and on examining the bottle found it was Laudanum, Dr. Brown ing was at once summoned and the little sufferer put to right, It will re- cover.

As time draws near for the holding of the seventeeth Western Fair, Indus- trial and Arts Exhibition at London, the prospects become exceedingly' bright, there is no longer any doubt entertain- ed by management that the coming Fair will exceed inmagnitude and at- tractiveness any previous exhibition held in Western Ontario. The. Associa- tion has put the whole' matter in a nut. shell. when they say in their program- me "More to see, more to learn, more to amuse than any previous Fair; nine great days of wonder instruction and amusement" Single fare for the round trip will prevail during the whole nine days, and still lower rates will be given on two special days from each district, for particulars of which apply to station agents.

A new species of worm has made, its. apppearanee in this section this sum- mer, and is destroying fruit trees to a far greater extent than any of its asso- ciates. It not only attacks the apple, but eats the leaves; and after it has stripped a limb, it constructs a large web in which it breeds a horde for next season's work. If this destroyer is al- lowed to continue its work for a.couple of seasons, fruit trees will be rade scarce; and in order to exterminate the vermin, every owner of an orchard or any number of fruit trees should ex, amine the trees carefully and destroy all webs found thereon. The careless- ness exhibited by Canadians in allow- ing their fruit trees to go to ruin is a shame, and it is nothing but lack ofat- tention in the matter of properly car ing for the trees that accounts for the shortage in the fruit yield each year. In some parts of the United States the County Board of Supervisors appoint fruit tree inspectors,whose duty it is' to visit every orchard twice a year, ex- amine the trees, leave remedies, and see that the owner gives proper atten- tion to any destroying element. In this way the fruit trees rarer die, and there is invariably a good yield. The Agr eulturaal Societies. The following is a statement of the number of members for thisyear re• turned by the Secretaries of the Branch Agricultural Societies in the Electoral District of South Huron: Stephen and Usborne, 335; Tuckersmith, 828; Stan- ley, 172; Hay, 112. This makes a total of 947 members in the four Societies. These numbers will be increased con siderably at the Shows, ' and although already a 'very respectable list, there should be a great many more. , 'The membership fee is only one dollar, ' and considering that these Societies are to the farming community, nearly every farmer Should, and could well afford to be a member. If this were the case the membership would be increased fully four fold and the usefulness of the So- cieties would be proportionately en handed. It would be a good thing H farmers, especially, would take a more lively interest in these Societies and to the extent,,at least, of the membership fee give them their aid and counten- ance. If every farmer would consider it a privilege to be a member' of his lo- cal society and come forward voluntar- ily, every year, and give his subscrip- tion, instead of waiting to be, dunned. and badgered for it,the Societies would receive a mighty impetus and the few who voluntarily give their time and money to keep'thcm going would be encouraged arid' stimulated to try to excel in the good work- BIRTHS.
