At the Grand Lodge. Meeting of A. F. and. A, M., held iu Toronto last week, Mr, J. A. Maefadden, of Stratford, was elected District Deputy Grand Master for South Huron, to succeed Mr. R, H, Collins. We trust the duties appar- taining to the office will be so well and ably carried out as by our worthy friend, R. H. Collins, The Montreal Trade Journal says: --- Notwithstanding the disheartening re- port of the apple crop some time ago, owing to the damage by frost, latest advices from sections west,of Toronto state that the yield proises to be much better than was at one time ex- pected. East of Toronto the prospects are poor in some sections; but it must be remembered that those districts are not very important. Maine Baldwins, it is reported will not be over two-thirds of last year's crops, The Maine crop is generally included in the Canadian re- port, for the reason that the great bulk of the apples in that State is handled by Canadians. The Grape Crop. Advices from St. Catharines state that it is believed there will be a fair crop of grapes after all, and that the fears regarding total failure through frost and reference to limited areas, as it is now found that the vine -yards in some sections have a heavy hang of fruit so that a fair yield, or, say, two thirds of a crop, may be expected. Good prices are looked for and those who have a good hang of fruit are feeling jubilant over the outlook, Country Weeklies are Satisfactory. The New York Herald has discon- tinued its weekly edition, and makes this true, but startling statement for a great city daily : -`The Herald has discontinued its weekly edition because the legitimate fieldof weekly news is fill- ed to the satisfaction of local readers by country and town papers." This is the first time on record that a metropolitan paper acknowledged that it did not coyer everything in sight and that a country weekly had a legitimate filed, .Cassel the Corn. Boys did you ever hear anything about the " new fangled " idea of tas se]ing corn ? Occasionally we hear a little something of it, but for some reason or other it does not seem to be making much headway. The idea is this, that nature spends twice as much energy as is necessary in producing pollen for the fertilization of the corn, and if the tassels are kept off every other row, there will still be enough pollen left to answer the purpose. If the tassels are kept down, so the argu- ment goes, nature puts the extra work. upon the ear and thus fifty per cent more corn may be expected on an acre. Now, I have never proved it myself, nor even seen it tried, but I haye seen it thus stated in print sever- al times, and I believe one of our state experiment stations reported it as a success. But whether or not it is the truth, it will certainly not cost much to try the method, and if it should prove true fifty per cent would make a great difference in the crup. Suppose all the boys who have any corn of their own in this year will just try it on half the patch and then report to the ADVOCATE in the Fall, so our readers can all know of its success or failure. Elks on Park How, N. Y. City We clip the following from a Phila- delphia, Pa., paper, dated July 17th, which has reference to the team of elk recently sold -by our fellowcitizen, "Mr. E. H. Fish.—"The habitues of Park Row were electrified yesterday after- noon by the appearance of a dog cart drawn by a novel team of animals. Mules, broken-down horses and a var- iety of animals are not unknown to Park Row; but real genuine, four -leg- ged elks are iu the nature of a novelty. At about 3 o'clock two elks trotted up the Row and made a pause in Printing House Square. They soon attracted such a crowd that it was necessary to drive the animals along, and they soon disappeared up Centre street after be. ing "caught" by a number of camera fiends. The elks are the property of Dr. John H. Woodbury, of :.127 West Forty-second street, this city, (N. Y.) The name of the buck is Jack, and the doe is known as Nellie. They are four and three years old respect- ively. A month ago they were in the wilds of Canada. They were bought by Dr. Woodbury for fifteen hundred dollars from their owner in Exeter, Ontario. The doctor will take them to his country house in Orange, N. J. Presentation and Address. The following taken from the Port Hope Guide, is a copy of an• ad- dress, presented to Mrs. E Tyerman, now Mrs. Jos. Cobbledick by the Trus- tee Board of the church of which she had been for some time organist:— DEAR FRIEND,—Having learned you are about to sever your connection with Clarke Church and leave our neighborhood, we, your many friends, feel that we cannot allow the present opportunity to pass without, in some slight measure at least, expressing to you our very high appreciation of your untiring and efficient efforts as organist of our chur.h during the past five years. We realize that in this way you have greatly added to our enjoyment and spiritual profit in the service of song, your influence as a teacher in the Sabbath School, as a worker In the Epworth League and as a helper in all departments of church work. has proved a blessing and inspiration to us. We have reason to believe that the work you haye thus done for the Lord has been willingly and cheerfully done, and because of this it has been all the more appreciated by us. You will please accept these presents (which consisted of some valuable pieces of silver- ware) from us, not because of their intrinsic worth but because of the spirit that prompts us in giving. While we regret that a separ- ation is shortly to take place we wish to ex- tend to you our congratulations. We assure you that in leaving our neighborhood you will be followed by the best wishes and earn- est prayersof a large circle of church friends for your future happieess and success. If in the Providence of God we are not permit- ted to associate with you in church work as we have during the past years we hope to meet you again in the church above.

He left for his home in London Saturday. , We understaud that a man is at pres- ent going through' the neighboring. townships selling shoddy cloth and at the same time offering big prices for wool which he will call for later. He is passing himself off as a Listowell spin. ner, His plan into sell shoddy, taking a note for the same which he says is payable when he gets the wool. The fact is he gets the notes discounted at some bank, the poor deluded farmer. has to cash up and the fellow never calls for the wool. We understand he has found a few victims in Howick township and their notes are now lying in the bank for collection, Several fine showers of rain .fell in this section during the past week.
