D, Steele, whoo was oblig- ed, to resign his' position as chaplain at the Quarantine Station, owing to an acute attack of Eczema and consequent exposure to contagious disease in at- tending hospital patients.

Mr. Steele reports heavy rains and cold disagreeable weather all last week down the St. Lawrence. Ma.tles.

The St Marys Journal still continues to improve, Last week it loomed up with a bran new and attractive head- ing, The Journal has made rapid strides since coming under the present management aud is now one of the best on our exchange list, Several of our town sports in quest of duck drove out to Port Frank on Monday last, but did not succeed in bagging much game, getting only 1 duck each. Fred says if he had got- ten the one he was after, and two more he would have had three. The Independent Order of Foresters held a picnic in Mr. Cooper's grove on Tuesday. It proved a grand success in numbers and every other way. Splendid addresses were delivered by Messrs. 0, C. Whale, High Court In- spector of the L 0. F., G. W. Holman, P. D. H. C. R,. D. Weismiller, and Revd's Swann, Muir Acheson, and Henderson. Good music was provided by the bag- pipes and organ. A splendid spread was laid. by the ladies. Foot -ball and other amusements enlivened the day. Mr. M. Y. McLean, M. P., occupied the chair. Farmers report that the ground was never in better condition than this sea- son. The dry weather left the ground loose; there being none of the usual heavy thunder showers to pack it, and the late rains have put it in fine work- ing condition. The ground is also cleaner than usual, the hot weather not having been favorable to the growth of weeds. The early close of the har- vest gives a long season for fall work, and the prospect is that an immense bredth of land will be sown this fall, and that the seed will be got in under the most favorable conditions. .

The scare on the scarcity of hay is said by those supposed to be posted to be very much exaggerated and that the price will be lower than is anticipa- ted. The lower provinces are not only cutting a very large crop this season, but also have thousands of tons of last year's hay on hand. BIG NEW STOCK --OF NEW FALL GOODS SPECIAL !

This year tomatoes seem to be a most favorable crop, and are growing to an abnormal size as well as ripening evenly and well on the vines. We were shown the other day, by Mr. C. W. Papst, what a town man can do in to- mato culture. Mr. Papst had growing in his garden one that weighed twenty five ounces, and measured 14e inches by 16 inches. Besides this one there are many more almost, if not equally as large. But this monster from town is discounted by one from the country, of which Mr. Robert Govenlock is the possessor. Mr. Govenlock's tomato weighs 29e ounces, and measures 15a inches by 16e inches. Like Mr. Papst, Mr. Govenlock has many more large ones, all of which are ripening nicely. Since the above was in type, Miss Hu gill, of John street, has just shown us a tomato that outclassed the above mentioned ones. This monster weighs two pounds, one ounce. She has also another which weighs two pounds all but one ounce; three that weigh four pounds; and several that weigh a pound and a half.—Seaforth Expositor. la Novel "Weed Buller. Weeds along the railroad track are now killed by the electric weed killer. It consists 01 a car carrying a dynamo which sends a heavy current into a sort of 'rake of fine wires dragging among the weeds on each side of the track. The weeds are electrocuted down to their smallest rootlets. It is now pro- posed to introduce the same system in farming, Watch Thera, The St. Marys Journal says:—Many of the residents of Blanshard have re- cently been annoyed by the actions of two or three wandering scamps who call at places in the absence of the men and walk off with various articles which they take in the face of protest, On one occasion recently, they took a bag of potatoes from one place and iron harvesting machine attachments from another. If they are caught it will be made very hot for them. RUDVway.' On Wednesday evening as Mr. Thos, Fitton and his son Saxon were taking a pleasure drive on Huron Street, the colt they were driviag became fright• ened at the movements of a man on, horseback and became unmanagable, turning suddenly around the buggy and occupants were upset in the ditch. Mr, Fitton was rendered unconscious and received a bad shaking up, while Saxon escaped not much the worse for his escapade. The buggy was badly broken but the horse, which was one he bought just on Saturday last, escaped with only a few scratches. .At the time of writing Mr. Fitton was obliged to take his bed but it is hoped he will soon recover from the shock.

Labor Day Sports, The Labor Day sports held on the Agricultural Grounds, Monday, under the auspices of the Exeter Band, was a splendid success both in point of at- tendance, the well arranged proa'ram. and the manner in which the eveats were carried out.
