They expect to have evi±l''ything in running order about the 4st September. A good yoke is told by Reeve Baw- den of a cereal nian in town who he had engaged to assist him thrash. He stationed him at the head of the car riers and shortly after the machine had been put in operation the carriers ceased to do their duty owing to the U' ' straw not ben a • i being taken away. It sec.ins he had worked hard to get .it away,. but in vain, it came too fast; Mr.Par- sons who owns the machine on • learn- ing the trouble said iii a joke "why we hav'nt started to run yet." To' him this information was sufficient, and thus enlightened of what was to follow he undoubtedly thought it high time to make his depn rture in order to es- cape burial without ceremony.

Communication, ile To TUE ADVOCATE. he, Sir, -Last week's Times coritained•a, cgs strong editorial anent the fraud of coi- in letting water tax and giving no value, the I quite agree with the Times in that, It is a gross fraud, But the Tithes lave u- the fault on the deficient supply of red wind and water, and severely satirizes me the judgment that provided our pres- er- exit system. That is just where the in Times fol Dein 'its usual c l 1. custom, am al- lows its prejudices to run away with ile its judgment, There was plenty of the wind and lots of water, but none for his the street, The puinp was blocked sad with gravel. Yet our sage leediug to councillors, wishing the system to prove a failure, no matter what the ey, cost, refused to investigate the cause isand allowed us to be two weeks with - ' out water. In that matter they also all showed that they allowed their pique ng and prejudice to sway their judgment to the great annoyance and detriment ill of the citizens. It is well known that neither the Times, the Reeve, nor the is Deputy, desire tint writer system to be ge successful and lose .10 opportunity tok- deride it. Last your it got a hard er trial, during the least water and wind in of the year and 3 -cut there was abund- ance of water for the streets. There is Y, a good deal of mosey in it, and it has e proved itself an ewinent success so far. s- Then why not give it a fair show. It n- is money well iuvested, if prejudice n does not ruin it. I do not think this h council was elected to throw away the town's money by such inattention and. - petty spite Yours truly, WATEIR RATS+. e- Exeter, July 23rd, '94. d a Brewster. e 0.

Centralia. Entrance Exam. -Olive walker, Blanch Walker, Charlie Haggith, Ida Abbott and Ethelbert Butt have ail passed the late entrance examination. The whole class of five passed with ea large number of ]narks to spare. This speaks volumes for the ability and la - labor of their teacher, Mr J.

Kincardine: Kincardine's myster in the disappearance of Angus Math son remains unsolved, the magistrate dismissing the charge against Seams H. Laird, who was arrested a fe weeks ago on . • :lemon. There was no evidence to s.; ,ee,L a ird with ith the affair,nor An ve that Math- eson had been f. ',":_'ti. ,v,,ith,though there is a general be le that he is real- ly dead. Forest Standard: -"The Rev. D. Carscaden is recovering from his se- vere attack of illness and will we hope soon be seen om our streets again. He has resigned his po'itton as pastor of the Indian congregation at Kettle Point as lie feared he would be unable to attend to his duty as formerly. There is no doubt that he will be much missed by his Iadia friends who dur- ing his illness have shown the greatest sympathy and solicitude on his behalf, Bayfield: On Thursday morning Coroner Dr. Stanbury, was summoned to Blake, to hold an snquest on the body of one James Dunbar, who had lived alone in a little house for a num- ber of years, and was found dead in his bed. Deceased was about 62 years old and had been in failing health for some time, though it does not appear he had received any attention or wed ical treatment The verdict of the jury was "death from natural causes." Usborne: Mr. Thomas Russell, of Riverside Farm, has receutly made a very important sale, He has disposed of his well-known young prize bull, "Riverside Hero the Second," to Hon. M, H. Cochrane, of Compton, Quebec. This bull is two years old and is one of the best of his age in Canada. He was bred by Mr, Russell, as was also a very fine heifer of the same age. for which Mr. Cochrane made a liberat offer, but it was not large enough to tempt AIr. Russell to part with her. Parkhill:' Last Saturday evening Mr. Gaugh, who runs the Strathroy stage, met with a bad accident near the post office. He had alighted from the stage and on noticing a train approach- ing made for the horses' heads, when they plunged forward and threw him to the ground. After running away as far as the Royal Hotel corner the stage upset and was demolished, and the horses freed. They were caught near the stables adjoining. Fortun- ately Mr. Gough was not hurt and the horses escaped uninjured. Clinton: -HEAT AND DRINri.-On Tuesday, as the afternoon train was on its way' from Goderieh, a pull at the bell cord caused the engineer to bring the train to a standstill. A brakeman ran back over the cars, to discover the cause of the signal, and found a young man on a car of lumber, with the bell rope in his hand, but evidently in a fit, and unconscious: He was carried into the baggage car, and on arrival of the train at Clinton, was taken to the Coun- cil Chamber on a dray. He seemed to be more dead than aliye, was evident- ly suffering great pain, and was froth- ing at the mouth, The presence of liq- uor was not noticeable on him, and it was doomed best to Ball in a physician, who applied restoratives; parttes labor, ed with him nearly all afternoon before he manifested any signs of conscious ness. When able to talk he admitted that he had been on a spree, and it was thought that the heat had also af- fected him. He claimed to have been put on the car of lumber, and gave his name as William Wallace, of Stratford. He occupied a bed in the cooler during the night, and went east next morning, ataRTRa.
