The Seaforth Expositor says: -"Mr.
George Penhale, of Stephen, is one of
the most successful exhibitors and
breeders of Leicester sheep in this part
of the country. He has made Leices
tars a specialty, and he has been re
markably successful with them. That
he has a very superior flock is evinced
by the fact that his sheep carried off
numerous prizes this year at every
show where they were on exhibition,
and in several cases they had to con-
tend with the keenest competition. A
few days ago Mr. Wm. Scott, of the
North road, McKillop, visited Mr. Pen-
hale's farm, and purchased from him
two of his best rams, paying a liberal
figure for them. One was a two year
old and the other a shearliug, and both
successful prize. winners. Mr. Scott
has got a couple of good sheep."

well known stab'es and be it wet or
shine warm or cold "Jimmy" could be
foiled at his post always ready and will-
ing to fulfil the wants of the travelling
public during that time. It can be
truly said, that there is not a man in
that ocenpation that understands his
business better than he, and many the
poor horse after a long tedious drive has
realized . in "Jimmy" a fond and true
friend of`ehe poor dumb animal, His
difficulties have not been a few and his
general faithfulness has been a source
of much gratification to his employers,
He still continues in the gond work and
our wish is that many sears more may
see his always smiling countenance
greeting his many customdrs. He com-
menced his 23rd year last Tuesday,
"Jimmy" a deserves a laurel.
A. Drain ate Case.
The case of Stephens vs, township of
Moore, decided at Toronto last week, is
of general interest as hearing on drain
age disputes. PUN. moved summarily
to quash a bylaw of the township, pas-
sed 14th of October, 1893, to provide
for draining a portion of the township
by the repairing of an outlet drain and
for levying on the lands and roads to
be benefitted the sum of $17 for com-
pleting the same. Tho principal
ground of the motion was that the
original drain, being a general town-
ship work, only the lands benefitted
thereby were liable to be assessed for
repairs. The Original construction
was paid for out of the general funds
of the township, but the bylaw in ques-
tion charged the repair on the lots
benefitted. Held, upon the true con-
struction of see. 586 sub -see. 2, of the
Municipal Act, that the council had
power to maintain or repair the drain
at the expense of the local territory
benefitted, and therefore the couneil
had power to pass the bylaw. The
other Objections also failed. Motion
dismissed with costs,
A Masonic Temple costing upwards
of $250,000 is to be erected in Toronto,

lodges has'e already chosen repre-
sentatives and others will do so OA their

Death of Mrs. Jory.
Very deep and general reret is
expressed at the almost sudden death of
Mrs. Mary E. Jory (relict of the late Simon
Jory) who passed away at the family re'i-
dence on Thursday morning about 3 o'clock,
at the age of 46 years and month. Dis-
eased has been a subject of tubercular
troubles for several years, but was in her
usual health up to the day previous to her
death, when she was suddenly seized with
an acute attack of inflammation from which
she never survived, She was a resident of
Usborne for many years, but shortly after
her husband's death, which took place about
four years ago, she moved to Exeter. De
teasel( bole her long illness with patience,
and in the calm security of perfect faith in
her Savior's merits passed away to her etern-
al rest. She leaves to morn her demise one
daughter, who of all .others, will miss her
most. The funeral took place Satunlay to
the Exeter cemetry and was largelyattend-

Stanley: A few days ago as one of
our young men of the 5th concession
was giving his best girl an ailing they
met with a serious mishap. They were
driving along with a horse and buggy
when the young man, evidently think-
ing his horse quite reliable, fastened
the lines to the buggy dash and per-
mitted Dobbin to jog along at his pleas-
ure. The horse, however, shied at a
sheep, and making a sudden jerk to
one side, upset the buggy, and the
occupants found themselves in the
ditch. The lady received a broken

St. Marys: The school board of St.
Marys has been disputing the question,
of religious training in the public
schools, on a motion that the clergy-
meu of the town be invited to visit the
schools and impart to the pupils rehgi
ous instruction in the central Christian
doctrines. Trustee Harding combatted
the motion on the ground that the
teaching done in the schools was moral
and there was no evidence before the
board that there was any need of mak-
ing a special effort to get the clergy-
men of the town to take up a portion
of the few hours to be devoted by the
scholars to their lessons, An amend
mens to this effect was submitted and
both motion and amendment was. de-
clared lost, the vote in each standing 3
to 3.
Goderich. Truly, all fools are not yet
dead. On Tuesday evening a slippery,
siiverey-tongued fakir, class A, drove
up in a hack to the corner of North st.
and the Square and serenely proceeded
to abstract all the coin he possibly
could from any greeny who came with-
in his reach. At tirst the crowd didn't
catch on, but when a boy gave aquar-
ter for a match and got back . 35c, tie
ball was set rolling.The humbug then
went on until dollars were paid for
worthless watch chains, the greenies
all the time expecting to get back their
dollar plus compound interest. But
they didn't The fakir then proceded
to close tip shoe, stowed away the nick-
les in his capacious pockets, hauled
down his gaslight, bade his audience
adieu, and ordered his drivers to drive.
Me was hooted and jeered, but a liberal
volty of bricks and bad eggs would
have suited him better. The gulled
greenies are bemoaning the loss of
their dimes and dollars, but only in
vain, for "he'll never come back. No,
he'll never come back."

Seaforth: A fakir opened up busi-
ness on Main street Monday evening
last, selling trashy jewellery. It 'was.
the same old "gum game" that has
been played over and over again, but
with a fresh crowd of victims. Great
Scott! how they bit. H,is method of
"roping them in" was by selling a ring
for a quarter, then giving the purchas•
er back fifty cents, during which time
the fakir kept a continuous flow of
language extolling the excellence of
the watches he was about to sell at $5
each. After selling the rings, sets of
cuff buttons were offered for sale at the.
same price -a gnartcr, - the purchaser
receiving fifty cents hack, The fakir's
next move was to sell chains for the
watches at $1.00, the purchasers, of
course expecting their money bath and
to be beaten on his next move the
watches, not intending to "play with
the fakir" any more and keep his money.
At this juncture the fakir adjourned
the sale until some othertime and
pocketed the receipts on the watch
chain deal, the $5 watches being only
a bait to entice his vlcttms ou, they
thinking that they could "do him up"
when he began selling the watches.
It was a clear case of swindle all round
and Mr. Fakir got the best' of it. The
"rope act" was cleverly executed. The
victims mobbed the fakir, but after a
lively scrimmage, he succeeded in get-
ting into an hotel. Next morning .a
reporter interviewed the fakir, and he
complained of business being poor, but
stated, 'I did the smart heads better
than twenty-five. They thought they
had me but they all got left, 1 am not
