Farmers are warned to be aware of
strangers who go about painting pat•

certificate that the work has been pro
perly done, and in a short time the
"certificate" turns up at some bank as
a promisary note.

Any person who thinks that no big
timber has grown since the pioneer
days, should have seen the several
large logs hauled through town last
Saturday en route to the saw -mill. The
Logs in question are of elm wood and
would measure fully 4 to 5 feet in di
ameter.
One day last week while Mr.Edward
Treble was shaping some wooden part
of a sleigh, with a drawing knife, the
:knife slipped inflicting a very severe.
cut in his knee. At present writing
Ed walks with the assistance of a stick,
but we hope he will soon be able to re-
turn to his work again.
The good sleighing the past week
has made business "hum" again and
our business men are smiling. Last
Saturday was more like fair day, so
many people from neighboring towns
and country were noticed on our streets
Large quanteles of wood is being de-
livered. All on account of the ,good
sleighing.
Friday was Candelthas Day, and
there is a superstition prevalent that
good weather on that day (Feb. 2) ia-
dicates a long continuance of winter
and a bad crop, and that its being foul
is, on the contrary, a good omen. The
amount of faith to be placed in such
signs is problematical.' The believers
in the "goose -bone" idea may be able
toenlighten the public on the matter.
There has been considerable com-
plaining among those who patronize
engagements at the Drew's Opera
House, on account o: the house being
so cold while performances are on.
This will be so no more, as; manager
Knight, has had the stare .landing en
closed, and those who attended the
Nora Clench concent noticed how com-
fortable the room was. The Emma
Welts Co. will commense a week's en-
g,ag-ement on the 19th.

Several Malahide farmers are report-
ed to have been swindled to the tune of
$690 each. Some weeks ago parties
went around the township selling
stores at $69 each. They, would not
accept eash for the stoves, but would
sell op time, and four or' five farmers
signed an agreement to pay $69 at a
certain time, and now find their names
appended to an agreement to Tay $690.

When some people come to town from
other places with their supposed to -be
fast horses they imagine the town is
theirs and fortnwith proceed to drive
furiously up and downthe main street.
If a few cases of this kind were brought
before the Mayor perhaps it would soon
cease. Many of these reckless drivers
do not know that the Chief is privileg-
ed to place them in the lock up for this
offence.-Wingham Advance.
In years gone by the Trivitt Memor-
ial Ladies' Guild, were noted for the
success of their entertainments, and it
is now several years since they attemp
ted anything in the concert line until
Friday night last when the Nora Clench
engagement was filled. To say that
the concert was an unbounded success
would be putting it very mild. Every
available seat in Drews Opera House
wan occupied -something that has not
happened since the opening night.
Miss Nora Clench, Canada's famous
Violinist was the Star of the evening,
and her selections from Mendelssohn,
Wieniawski, and HHaa7cmann, put her
audience in raptures of delight and
their hearty enchores were responded
to several times. Miss Clench not only
won the hearts of our people as an art-
ist, but also by her sweet manner and
faultless deportment. Miss Colvin (ac-
companist for Miss Clench) piano solo -
Balmoral, from Sivrais, called forth a
sound of applause and a hearty en-
chore to which she responded. Miss
Steinbach, of Zurich, made her first
bow before a public audience, outside
of her native town, and did herself
credit. Miss Smith, of London, also as
sisted in the success of the program.
Miss Addie Browning's recitation --"The
Famine" frons Long fellow's song of
Hiawatha, received a hearty enchore
to which she responded and was heart
ilv applauded: The chorus selections
by Mesdames Hawkshaw, Billings,
Kemp Miss Hardy and Messrs. Cretins
and Brown and also the solos and duets
by Mesklrs. Collins end Brown were not
of the second grade elites of concert
music, but were selections from the
best composers, showing good taste and
refinement, which always characterize
the Ladies Guild entertainments. Miss
Mattie Hawkshaw, who acted as ae
companist for the local talent acquit-
ted herself: admirably And with mueh
satisfaction to her :.lifiteuers. Rev.
W., Hunt, of Southampton (who was
unamiously chosen to pill the vacant
ineumbeney of this parish) acted as
chairman, and in a few. well chosen
remarks made himself popular at onee.
The piano used for the occasion, was
leased from Perkins & Martin. The
handsome parlor set was gratitously
loaned by S. Gidley, furniture dealer,
the carpets by E. J Spackman & Co.

"The Marks Bros, Musical Comedy Co..
has been playing to crowded houses in
the Town Hall this week. On Monday
night they produced the laughable
play,, "McGinty's Troubles." All the
parts in the different plays were well
,taken, but the favorites were T. H.
Marks and J. Field. The Marks Com-
, pany is a strong combination, the sing
ing and dancing of several members of
the company being greatly above the
average."

One of the most unique models for a
House of Industry is ou exhibition at
11. Spaekman's hardware store. The
architect is "Master Builder" wasp of
the Wasp Building Co., near London,
and if the inmates are as industrious
as the above mentioned model implies,
we are satisfied that a House of Indus-
try in Huron Co., would be a success.
This curiousity is a huge wasps' nest,
the largest we have ever seen. It
measures 3 feet 7 inches in circumfer-
ence and 23 inches in length.
Mr. Francis Peart, brother of our
worthy townsman, Mr, Jos. Peart, writ-
ing from Titney, a small place in Lin-
conshtre, Eng., says: -We have never
had so much sickness in this section of
the country than at the present time.
There has been three deaths within a
few days and many more are seriously
i11. Times are exceedingly dull and
work yery scarce. The farmers have
had a hard season. The spring came
in very dry and the weather continued
so throughout the summer and many
farmers were unable to get their bar-
ley crop sown. Prices for grain are
very low while hay sells for £6 to £9
per ton. In fact the country is in a
bad shape generally.

It is with feelings, of sincere regret
that we chronicle the 'death of Samuel
Gould, son of Mr, James Gould, Huron
st. who passed peacefully away yester-
(Wed) at the age of 20 years 4 months
and 21 days. Deceased, although
young, has suffered considerably dur•
ing the past two years with Bright's
disease of the kidneys, but his case was
not of snch a nature as to render him
unable to be out until a few weeks
ago when he was taken worse and
gradually sank away until death
claimed him. His remains will be in-
terred in the Exeter cemetery on Fri-
day at 2 o'clock.
On Friday last about noon, John Gil-
lespie's dray team .;aneed considerable
excitement on Main st., by running
away. The team is a spirited one and
started to run when near Mr. Willis'
lumber yard, being frightened at
the noise made by the school children
as they were jumping on the. dray.
The whiflletree broke in front of Dr.
Lutz's drag store,letting the horses free
from the sleigh, when they made a
dash past Hawkshaw's stable, turning
oyer Will Dearings' milk cart, spilling
all the milk • breaking the glass and
one of the shafts. As they turned Car-
lings' corner they were caught and
taken home.
