It, required several stitches to close up the wound, but the little fellow is doiug as well as could be expected. Black Kuot. In going through the country one is struck with the apparent carelessness of so many in allowing their cherry trees to become laden with that pest, black knot. Many, we believe, do it thoughtlessly, and we hope a word to those in this vicinity will be sufficient. Don't leave it too late, cut them all out and be sure all are burned, and you will not only helpyour own trees, but your neighbor's as well. Huron and Ontario. The bill to incorporate the Huron and Ontario Electric Railway was passed by the Railway Committee Tues- day. It was opposed by .tlr. Haggart on the ground that it was an omnibus charter, It really incorporates at. lot of small roads which should tie controlled by the province. The promoter de- clared that the road could not be fin aneed except under a Dominion char- ter. In spite of the 'tppositinn of the Minister of Railways the bill passed. A Year Without a Summer. Seventy-nine years ago was the year without a summer. Frost occurred every month in the year of 1816. Ice formed a half inch thick in May. Scow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and also Massachusetts, in J une. lee was formed of the thickness of a common window glass throughout New York on the 5th day of July. Indian corn was so frozeu that the greater part was cut in August and dried for fodder and the farmers supplied them- selves from the corn produced in 1815. for the seeding of the spring of 1817. Cattle inspection. The Provincial Board cf Health have prepared a draft of a bill to be sub rnitted to the present session of the lo• cal legislature providing for the' in speetion of all cattle slaughtered as well as of milk cows by a regular vet• erinary surgeon. The bill also pro- vides for the erection of municipal abattoirs or slaughter houses iu cities and towns, This action has been ren dered necessary by the rapid• increase of the disease known as lump jaw and to guard against tubercolosis in the animals supplying milk to the public. An Unpopular Bill. The Ontario Government still keeps tinkering at the Muuicipal Act. Mr. Gibson, of Huron, has now introduced a bill to exempt lawns and paddocks, iu cities and towns from taxation. The effect even in Exeter would be very great. It would not be so bad if the leg illation benefitted everybody, but it only applies to wealthy citizens who have lawns adjoiuiug their residences and who are quite capable of paying for the privilege. The whole community, however, would have to bear the addi tional tax necessary to make up the deficiency caused by the return of the old order of things. A Narrow Escape. What might have resulted in a ser- ious conflagration happened at the Trivitt Memorial Church on Friday eveuiug last. It seems the sexton, Mr, Jas. Dennis, was charging the gaso- line tank and in so doing spilt a por tion of gasoline on top of the tank and ou approaching it with a lamp the ig nitibin fluid took fire, and it was with cousiderable difficulty the.flames were extinguished. Luckily the cap used for covering the hole was on at the time, or without a doubt a terrible ex• plosion would have been the result and the church reduced to ashes. However this should be a warning to parties using this dangerous fluid. Presbytery of Huron. The Presbytery met in Hensall, on the 10th inst. On the recommendation of the home mission committee, through Mr. Martin, it was agreed to ask for the following supplements to the cougrega tion named: Grand Bend, $250; Bay field and Bethany, $200; Leeourn and Union church; $200. Reports on tem parapet), Sabbath schools, and church life and work, were submitted, adopted and ordered,to be forwarded to the eon- vener of Synod and assembly commit tees. Mr. Shaw submitted the reports on Christian Endeavors The report wail received and adopted. The coin rnittee was instructed to call together representatives of all the 'societies in connection with the Presbytery, wltb the view to"organiziug a Presbyterial society. Mr. Weir, a minister of the American Presbyterian church, applied to be received as a minister of this church. It was resolved to apply in the usual way to the Assembly for his r eeptiun, The following commission. ere °were. elected: Messrs. Carriere, Martine Dr. McDonald, Stewart and Murgrave, ministers; Habkirk, Swallow McMatb, Scott and Torrence, elders. Dr. McDonald was nominated for mod- erator of next Assembly.

Davis held one on Thursday last which was well attended and a lagre pile of wood was cut, On Wednesday Mr. Thos. Shute held his annual bee and it was no ex- ception to those of former years. A large number was present and an im- mense pile of wood was sawed and put in shape for the stove The usual pas times followed, in the evening and all report a pleasant time. A physician from Owen Sound has sent a communication to the Provincial Health Department, which contains some information regarding lump jaw in the county of Grey. Three boarders in a hotel in Chesley, contracted cancer one of whom died, and the other two are in a dangerous condition. The meat supplies were procured from a farmer, whose herd of cattle were of fected with lump -jaw. An investiga tion will he held on the subject. Farmers intending to have sales this Spring get your bills printed at this office thus secure a free notice in the ADVOCATE. which is worth more than the price of you bills. Tbe report has been generally cur- rent that Mr. H. Dilling, while engaged in tearing down the old Murray house on the London Road, found a large Sum of money secreted in the wall. but such is entirely without foundation. By advertisers I, mean those who know that advertising well done is bound to bring results; by business men I mean a very large class of ratan ufacturers who are "poor in the midst of great wealth," i. e., of possibilities of a short crop of straw.
