There are now 22 persons confined in the county jail. Hon. J. C. Patterson has been renom- inated by the Conservatives of West Huron. No other name was mentioned. A florist says he is always glad when the chrysanthemum season is over, for in spite of the fancy price asked for these flowers they do not yield so sure anincome as roses and pinks. One reason is that flowers for cuttiug, in order to be large must be reduced to two or three on a plant. Counting the Tear's struggle to perfect them and all, a quarter apiece for a couple of blos- soms is a moderate price. Last night (Wednesday) the cere- mony which made Mrs. Sarah Page of the Metropolitan Ho:el, Exeter, and Mr. Wm. Simpson, of Parkhill, man and wife, was performed by Rev. E. W.

A lively runaway took place on Main Street Monday afternoon last. Mr. Mathew Clark and wife, of near Lumley, drove up in front of the Bo - bier Produce o-bierProduce Co's' establishment and while engaged in removing some pro- duce the horse started off, running down street at a rapid. pace as far as the Ceutral Hotel, when it dashed through the arch -way and back into the shed where several horses were tied. Luckily the animal es ;aped with- out injury, but one wheel of the buggy wasbadly smashed and the axle of another rig slightly bent. If the boards r0 a bare floor do not fit perfectly, have the spaces filled with putty or with a mixture which has been often recommended of late made of old newspapers snaked in a paste made of flour, and water, The proportioas of this are one pound of flour, three quarts of' water and one tablespoonful of pow- dered alum. The newspapers should be torn in bits, and the whole thorough- ly boiled and mixed until of the eon sistency of putty. It may be colored. with a little of the staining mixture, and should be forced into the cracks with a knife, when it will soon become hard and city like papier mache:. The Paynesville, Minn. Press, hits the nail on the head when it says:-- "AIlOffers of club rates with other papers, mean spot rash in advance. For instance the North-western. Agri- culturist will not begin subscriptions, until the money is received. So we. intuit send it in cash—not cord wood, pumpkins, satir kraut or molasses, There is not a cent of gain in it for the editor of this paper. If you were to ask a farmer or any other business man to do such a thing, .he would laugh at you, and ask if you thought be was working for his health. But lox the sake of introducing good read- ing among people the 'we voluntarily take the added work of sending in names amotley for' our patrons, 1o:i �nti .rrg�ho time andpostage,. postage, In view of thisa, we think we are right in requiring t*dh in advance from all who wish to take advantage of our low rates. The Toronto papers state the Black Rutledge gang of burglars and safe blowers is supposed to be operating' in Huron County. Mr. John McInnes' delivery horse caused a little excitement on Main Street Monday by running away. No damage was done.

Hutchin; who has been en gaged in the grain business for the past 18 years in Parkhill, has disposed of the same to Mr, R. S. Hodgins of Lucan. An Exchange says that if acow gets choked up with au apple or potato, holding up his head and breaking an egg in its mouth is a sure cure. The same remedy is recommended for hors- es under similar circumstances, A Blyth correspondent speaks thus of a former Exeterite. Mr. S. H. Gidley won the silyer cup at the Seaforth shooting match on Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Gidley deserves great praise, for he had to shoot against some of the best shots of Hamilton and Toronto.

The•oyer plus will be placed in the general church fund. The Western Ontario butter cannot be beaten is shown by the fact that Mr. John Hobbs, of Biddulph, who shipped a 102 pound firkin to a British Colum bia merchant, at his request. The merchant pays 20 cents a pound and all expense of shipment, Mr, H. Eilber was at the Commercial house Friday for the purpose of receiv- ing assessments levied by the Hay Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

Small Pox Case, The St. Marys Argus says: On Wed- nesday last a man named W. Seebach, passed through here from Chicago on his way to his home near Mitchell. He had taken ill in that city and when he reached Stratford his face was observ- ed to be broken out but no particular not.ce was taken of the fact. Upon arrival at Mitchell he proceeded direct to Dr. Smith's office. The doctor quick ly recognized the suspicious eruptions on the patient's face, and sent him to the medical health officer, who immed- iately made arrangements to send hint to bis home in Logan, about 2 miles from Mitchell. Seebach was in the waiting room at Stratford and around the station. The car went on to God erich. As soon as the railway author- ities learned of the facts the car was locked up and returned to Stratford where it was thoroughly fumigated. The waiting room was also disinfected. The railway people took prompt and vigorous methods for the protection of the public. Conneil Proceedings, Council met by order of the Reeve at the Town Hall, Exeter, 30th Nov ,1895.

JOHNSTON, Exoter The Powers of a Council. Judge Chadwick, of Guelph, made a decision in Crabbe v. Mt. Forest, which is of interest to municipal councils. Crabbe, who is a member of the coun- cil of Mount Forest, had been twice re- moved from the council room by -order of the mayor, under a by-law that inn posed such punishment for the use of indecorous language by a member. Judge Chadwick holds that the by-law is illegal and that Mr. Crabbe was im- properly removed. The defendants are to pay the costs; but they appealed the case before Justice Meredith. and it was argued on Tuesday week. Judge meta was reserved. A Christmas Souvenir.

This is the time of the year in which the mind of the energetic merchant turns towards securing a share of the Christmas trade. The month of De- cember and wintry weather have ar- rived, and it will be unnecessary to re- mind dealers of the propriety of an- nouncing their readiness to dispose of seasonable goods. Scarcely three weeks remain between now and Christmas, and, as in former years, this will no doubt be the time in which the' winter supplies and holiday goods of many families and individuals will be pur- chased. Good sleighing will bring many from the surrounding country with the produce of their farms, and naturally a busy period is looked for. Those de siring to purchase goods of any des- cription should consult the columns of the Anvoo trn, and dealers who have not made special anntiuncements of their holiday goods should take ad- vantage of space in the APTOCATTS to place themselves among those who are ready for the rush• rrcomo into my parlor!" ` Said the spider to the fly.
