In our last issue, through misinfor- mation, it was stated that a son of Mr. Heaman, had fallen from a tree and sustained serious injury. It should have read Mr, Jermiah Heaman. It appears he was cuttingblack knot and in some way fell to the ground alight- ing on bis head. He is still in a pre- carious condition and it is feared that the effects of the fall will yet result fatal.

A Sarnia butcher was put up a tree by a vicious steer the other day, The "critter" asked him to take a born on his way up. A recent advertisement in a country newspaper reads thus "For sale, a bull -terrier dog. Will eat anything; Very fend of children. Apply at this office." Every person having fruit trees with black knot growing on them should have it removed at once, They are liable to a heavy fine if this is not done. Take a look over your trees.

A very heavy rain storm accompan- ied by hail, thunder and lightning visited this vicinity Sunday afternoon last. During the storm about a quer ter to four the lightening struck a • barn at the rear of J. Murray's resi- dence and set it on fire. The flames were noticed bursting from the end of the stable by Mr. Murray just in time to throw on a few pails of water and extinguish them. We have heard of no farther damage being down in this vicinity. The new instruments for the band are here and the "boys" have started to get on a "good lip". After two or three nights practice they will make their first appearance on the street. When those who have already sub- scribed, hear and see the "boys" make their debut, they will not regret hav- ing contributed towards helping them along, and those who have not yot sub- scribed will feel like dropping "a nick• el (with one or two decimals on the right of it) in the slot." Here is an item for those who are fond of going to law to settle their grievance. About three years ago hree persons in Campbellford became involved in a suit over an account of $73.00. They were determined to fight and they fought, and they paid for it a like the boy who houghs the whistle. We are reliably informed that the law costs of one amounts to $620, another h -as forked oyer $200, while the third was benefitted the lawyers to the tune of $180.00. One thousand dollars to recover $73! The Hensall correspondent to the Seaforth Expositor commenting on the sermon preached to the Oddfellows here on Sunday week by the Rev. Hunt, says;—"The attendance of the brethren wad very large and the sermon was an exceedingly fine and appropriate one, and was much enjoyed by all pres- ent, The reverend gentlemen is a very clear, forcible and eloquent speak- er, and delivers his sermon with ap- parently very little effort to himself, which makes it alt the more pleasing to his hearers." A LADY --.4. May talk like sixty (60) when she is only twenty (20). But when a lady talks about the bargains she gets at the Big Bankrupt Store you may rest assured that she knows what she is talking about. 1.60-..ormatat_ We are selling J. D.

At a meeting of the Exeter Base Ball Club, the following officers were eluted for this season:—Hon. President W. Bawden; Pres., N. D. Hurdon; Vice - Pres,, T. B. Carling; Committee. J. Luxton, J. Tapp, W, A. Snell; Treas. J. Tapp; Sec. W. A. Snell. The club is now open to receive challenges, The small boy with his dangerous catapult is at it again and consequent- ly the poor birds have to suffer. These bad boys have been repeatedly warned of violating the laws of killing birds and robbing their nests, and if caught will in no way be excused, Constable Creech is on the look -out for you boys, so be careful. On Tuesday last while Mr. B. S. O'Neil was taking a pleasure drive on William street his horse took fright at an unknown object and jumped into the ditch. Mr. O'Neil was thrown out with terrible force and in the fall sus- tained several severe buises about the head and face and other bodily injuries. The buggy was also slightly damaged. One night last week the residence of Mrs. Keyes, situated at the rear of Mr. Wm. Southcott's store, was entered at a side window by some evil disposed wretch and several things takenaway. Mrs. Keyes had been away for a few days and evidently the thief took ad- vantage of her absence. Amongst the things taken were several yards of dress goods and two or three sheets. At the meeting of the East Huron Teachers' Association, at Goderich, re- cently, Inspector Robb took up his sub- ject of "Penmanship." He is strongly in favor of the vertical writing, and thinks that it should be the second lesson the pupil should receive on first coming to school. He recommends that the writing should first be done on a single line, and that the pupils be re- quired. to write without lining their slates. He believes that the scribbling g book is ruining our writing, as the work:in books pis generally done in a very careless manner. Too much care cannot be taken by the teacher in watching and pointing out the mis- takes in the writing of their pupils. He thinks that the teacher should neyer accept from the pupil writing which he knows can be done better, but that the pupil should be required to re -write it. Horses Wanted. Mr. P. Dardis will be at McFalls' Hotel, Lucan, on Tuesday May 15th, and at Exeter, Wednesday May 16th for the purpose of buying horses. Shipments.

Only a man who has "been there" cr+t,ld have written the following: 1 penitence a songof a fellow ^� g w full of rye; four and twenty serpents danced before his eye. When his eye was op tined he shotited for his life; wasn't he a pretty chump to go before his wife ? His hat was in the parlor, underneath a chair, his boots were in the hallway, his coat was on the stair; his trousers in the kitehen, his collar on the shelf; belt he hadn't any notion where he was himself: When the moon was break- ing, someone heard him call, his head was in the ice box and that was best of all.

This is the time of year when the ayerage member of the fair sex suffer from a species of fever known as "house-cleaning." The symptoms us- ually consist of the doing up of the hair in a linen duster, and the intro- duction of a plan whereby the head of the house is made to eat canned sal- mon off an upturned buseuit box for his dinner. Coupled with this the bed- room curtains are allowed to fly out the upstairs windows and there is a wild desire to waltz all the furniture on to the front lawn. At such a period the average lord of creation is made to feel that he is one of the biggest mis- takes that nature ever perperated, and he is looked on with scorn unless he is prepared to carry the piano under one arm, and a stove under the other, while he playfully balances one or two other articles on his head. When he fails to accomplish a few little feats of that description, he usually gets the hint that he is only in the way, and thrt he had better go into the back yard and make a fire of the rubbish. Narrow Escape. As will be learned by the following item which appeared in all the leading dailies, Mr. R. B. Samuel who a short time ago was engaged in the Molsons Bank here had a narrow escape with his life on Saturday last:—Wm. Per• kins, of Elliott & Westland's Bank and Mr. Samuel of the Molsons Bank, Ridge - town had a close call for their liyee on Saturday. They in company with a number of other young men, went on a fishing excursion to Rondeau. Mes- srs Perkins and Samuel took a small duck boat and went out into the chap- nel opposite the boat house, A strong sea was running, but by some means or other the boat sank almost at once. The bos were ancu mbered with heavy Y clothing, and being thus handicapped could do very little to help themselves. They shouted lustily for help, but their comrades were inside the boat hcuse with the dpors closed and could not hear them, Mr. Wm. Weldon, who was half a mile distant, happened to see them, however, and at onto put off to their assistance, reaching them after fifteen minutes' hard rowing. Their escape was truly a narrow one, as they were thoroughly chilled by the icy water. „ 11 11 11 11 5 See everything in our store at close cut prices, before you pur- chase elsewhere. G. G.

Weismiller, candidate for the Local House paid a yisit to Ottawa last week for the purpose of interviewing the gov- ernment in reference to improving the Bayfield harbor. We learn that he suc- ceeded in getting an appropriation for that purpose and that work will be commenced during the coming sum- mer. This is certainly a feather in Mr. Weismiller's cap and should be re- membered by the people of Bayfield and vicinity, when the election comes on.
