Some of the residents of the town do not seem to be aware of the fact that it is contrary to law to use firearms in- side the corporation. L McKillop correspondent writes.— "F'armers are trying their best to bring ere harder times by selling off young stock and all their hay and straw and coarse feed. off the farms. Such farms will soon produce nothing to sell. ;man might just as well try to work without food as to expect land to grow crops without fertilisiug it. Only one thing is needed to snake this county the garden of the world, and' cheapen the cost of production; that is, increase the manure." . The deer hunting season in Ontario opened Saturday, 20th inst., and closes on Nova 14. Dogs are allowed to be used during the whole season, and additional time is allowed for "still" hunting, as there used to be. A per- son is permitted to shoot but two deer per season.

If these recent tragedies of Listowel and Newbore teach nothing else, they should be a warning to young girls, and older ones for that matter, not to frequent the railway tracks. The worst specimen of the vicious tramp is generally to be found near a railroad. The line is not a road for pedestrians, any way.

Rave Yon Considered It The Exeter Advocate, The Canadian Annual, and the Toronto DAILY News for only $1.75; or the Advocate,Canad ian Annual, the Daily News, and the Canadian Farmers Sun, for $2.25. A Woman Hun_ Around the neck of her husband and begged and implored him to go to the big Bankrupt stere and get her one of those nobby Tailor made Jackets and a pretty little bonnet—he consented. Grand Trunk conductors were much displeased last week when they re- ceived notice that in future they would be liable to have their runs changed daily. In the past conductors have had regular runs, and the men now complain that it will seriously affect their boarding house arrangements. The reason of the change is obvious since the recent disclosures at Montre- al. On Monday night last the members of the band serenaded George Davis, who has always proven himself one of the most active members of the institu- tion. On their arrival at the house they found that George had commenced his matrimonial trip by keeping good hours. However the "boys" struck up a favorite "Galop" of George's, and both him and his good wife were soon at the door extending a hearty wel- come. As soon as all were seated Mr. Jos. Senior, on behalf of the band and in a few well chosen words presented the newly wedded couple with a handsome antique finish oak rocker, to which Mr. Davis responded. The evening passed away with music;storytelling and crisp jokes. About 9.30 Mrs, Davis assisted by Miss Davis, passed around refresh- ments, to which the boys did ample justice. After again extending to Mr. and Mrs Davis their well wishes they left for their respective homes wonder- ing whether it would be Harry's or Bob's turn next. Death of Mrs, Jos. Cobbledick. A home, once happy with the joys and blessings of a kind wife and lov- ing mother, has been stripped of that virtue, by the sad and sudden death of Catherine Jane Guest, beloved wife of Joseph Cobbledick, which took place in the City Hospital, London, on Fri- day evening last, The blow was in- deed a sad one to the household, and when the loss is so unexpected the feel Tugs of regret is very much intensified It seems deceased went down to Lon- don on Thursday morning of last week for the purpose of undergoing an oper- ation for an internal trouble, but before the operation was performed and on Friday evening she succumbed quiet- ly and almost imperceptibly from the effects of a nervous heart afElictien. Her remains were brought here on Saturday by train and conveyed to her husband's residence from where the funeral took place on Sunday to the Exeter cemetery, She leaves a hus- band, one son and two small girls to mourn her demise, to whom we extend the genuine sympathy of the commun- ity in their sad bereavement and it retrievable loss, Deceased, together with her husband'and family, resided in Biddulph for many years and was highly respected by her many friends and neighbors, The funeral was at- tended by over one hundred and twen- ty-five rigs.

Quite a Gain. "' The Court of Revision of the Voters' List for this village was held in the Town Hall on Friday last, with Judge Tom as Revisiag officer. There were 30 conservatives added to the list while there were only 14 Reformers,thus mak- ing a gain of 16. Appreciative Joke. On Friday an esteem resident of Clin- ton was the subject of a practical joke A party of gentlemen were on their way to Seaforth. One of the number had been slipped a railway return ticket, as he supposed, by the gentle- man in charge of the party. As the train moved along the conductor was taking up the tickets as careful as usual. "Why," said he to Mr. Blank, "that ticket is long enough to take you to Quebec!" "Seaforth! The ticket is for Seaforth and return!" exclaimed tbe gentleman. The genial conductor re-examined the ticket and these words were plainly thereon:—"Gbod for one admission to the county gaol." The joke,.appreciated by all, then exploded and the car fare was made good with the remark that such a visit would be preferred farther away from home.— News Record. The Wiarton Canadian says: "An amusing little incident occurred on the train leaving Wiarton a few days ago, A passenger asked Conductor Nickle for a ticket to Hepworth and flourish- ed a $100, bill to pay for it. These big bill gentry bob up every once in a while to make small purchases to the annoyance of business men of all kinds, and yery often, rather than go to the trouble of getting change, they are allowed to get off without paying for what they buy. Conductor leTickle was not going to give this fellow any satin faction of that kind and being a little more flush that day than usual, he dip- ped into his little wardrobe and counted out the change, to the- chagrin of the big bill chap and amusement Of onlook- ers. The best part of the joke though wad that the man who wanted to go to Hepworthon the little corner of his $100 bill turned out to ,be a Grand Trunk "spotter" who was trying to catch conductors.

Remember this is not the weekly news but the daily. Cow Owners Cow owners will bear in mind that all cows are to be kept off the streets on and after Nov. 1. Constable Creech says that he is bound to enforce the by law in this respect, and all cows run- ning at large after that date will be empounded. The Election Protests. The Toronto World says it is inform- ed on pretty good authority that all the petitions against the return of both Conservatives and Reformers to the Ontario Legislature will .be dropped. Negotiations for a compromise have been going on for some days, and it is more than likely that neither the judg- es nor the people of Canada will be worried wirh election trials and bye - elections. On the other hand reports come from other sources that a number of protests will come to trial. Apples for Exports. Canadian fruit is likely to lose pres- tige in the British market if more are is not taken in packing and assorting. Rev. Mr. Taylor of St. Marys says that in conversation with a large importer of Canadian apples, when in Liverpool, he learned that English dealers were loud in their complaints of the way in which Canadian apples were put on the British market. The packing was bad, and the assorting dishonest. Instead of apples of a size being peeked by themselves, the rule was to have the large on top/and the diininutive at the bottom, with a sprinkling of midile• sized fruit in the centre. This style of doing business may pass muster in On- tario where fruit is cheap, but with the English dealer who has to pay a good price for his goods, better treatment is expected. The following directions for the packing of apples have been recom• mended. The barrel ought to be well skaken several times while being filled and the last layer should be turned stem end up. A firm and steady pres- sure is necessary before the barrel head is inserted, and, as far as possible, each layer should be placed so that the whole will remain in position firmly. In no case should a hammer be used to pound the head in, nor should the pressure be removed before the head 15 in place, as the juice in any "chipped" apple will then go back into the bruise, and de- cay will, be rapid. Fades and all sorts o� Tricks And humbugs, are resorted to by some dealers to catch trade. They profess that you can get Dry- goods and groceries for nothing For example they will' quote prices: as follows: -- Overcoats worth $15.00 for $10,00 Suits " 12.00 " 8.00 Shirts 1.00 " .50 Dress -goods " .75 " .50 Cotton " ,08 " ,05 Ladies' Hose .35 " .25 Tea " .35 " .25, etc, We call a spade a spade! Such absurd advertisements are of no value any more than cheap goods are Still as Barnum used to say,"People like to be humbugged." Carling Bros. don't make such offers. We have been here too long to resort to that sort of thing. Their trade is established and is reliable. Carlini Bros. sell at fair profits. You get what you ask for and pay the least money consistant with excellent value. Try Tetley's celebra- ted Tea, sample given free, -50, 60 and 70 cts per ib.

The following resolutions adopted by the clergy and the undertakers of God- erich will commend themselves to the common sense of every thoughtful per- son. No good accrues, to anyone, but harm frequently to someone, by the de• lays which new seem to be considered neceessary to the carrying out of a funeral. rhe signers of these resolu- tions can do much towards remedying the useless practice, but they should be aided in their efforts by the friends and pall bearers at such gatherings:— "Whereas, much time is lost, an unne- cessary exposure suffered by many on funeral occassions by reason of tedious delays, for the better understanding and convenience of the public; resolved that we, the clergymen of the town of Goderich, when called upon to officiate at funerals, do what we can to have the procession leave the residence of the deceased at the hour indicated on tbe posted notices. We also wish to place upon record our earnest disapproval, except in cases of absolute necessity, of Sunday funerals, as a needless infer- ence with the work of the Lord's Day. We, as undertakers of the same town, concur in the above resolution, and in So fax as concerns ourselves will'aid in carrying it out The reform should be carried still further, namely, to the abolition of the unsightly and unneces ,sary display of so called mourning' em- blems. Too often the additional ex- pense of these can ill be afforded by the departed, but because an absurd fash. ion calls for them the meaningless ex- travagance is incurred. This is a re- form which lies solely within the power of the mourning relatives, and it is to be hoped good sense will overrule the too long tyranny of customs.
