was one hundred heaped up boxes; 40
berries ot the Bttbach variety filling a

production would yield over 15,500
boxes, which at only 4 cents per box
would net the handsome sum of $$610."
Mitchell is at presentin a very bad
predicament. On aceotwt of the break-
ing away of the dam in the spring
there is no water to draw upon for any
municipal purpose. The watering cart
was taken off a week ago for lack of
water, and if a fire should break out
there is not water enough to keep the
pumps working over two hours. The
merchants and Front street residents
are atthe xnercy of the clouds of dust
that every gust of wind drives into
their doors. Besides this, the filth ac-
cumulating in and about the river bed
is positively sickening, and unless a
heavy rain comes shortly affairs will
get worse instead of better. The health
officers are likely soon to have their
hands full, but what they can do with-
out water is the problem they them
selves will have to solve,;

Very many having cherry and pear
trees will notice the presence of a small

ing the life' out of them and will scow
destroy the tree unless checked. An

or so. Don't delay the remedy or the
trees will be badly injured if not killed.

. Many of the farmers in this part are ly. Jt seems he was driving along the

or green feed, the pastures being com-
pletely dried air for the want of rain
and by the destruction of grasshoppers.

S. Lang has seeured the assistance of
his brother in his shop here. 22 Massey -
Harris binders have been sold by the

----ems—
Parkhill: Mr. Abe Gray met with
au accident last week in H. C. Baird
Son's foundry, which necessiated the
amputation of a finger.
Lieury: We deeply regret to chron-
icle the death of Miss Lena Hope, an
estimable and intelligent young lady,
who died•on . Mopday evening at her
father's residenco, Bch con., after a short
illness, aged 18 years. .
Seaforth: Mr. David Mack, of Tuck-
ersmith,' near • Hensel', delivered to
Messrs. Winter and Donovan, of this
town, on Wednesday, a handsome heavy
draught mare, six years old, for which
he received 8120. She wasfshipped to
the old country. Mr. Mack sold anoth-
er of the same age, this summer, for
8125, This shows that good horses
still bring a fair price.
Goderich: l After a brave struggle
with a complication of diseases. Mr.
W. H, Murney, one of the best ,known
eitizens• of Goderich, passed away on
Tuesday, 7th inst. Eight weeks ago
00 Sunday he was taken ill with in
fiammation, followed by pluersy, and
then pneumonia, which so weakened
his constitution that the best care and
medical skill could not save his life.
Parkhill: On Friday last Mr, A. M.
Johnstone, brother of Mrs. Hugh Mc-
Kone, of Parkhill, while raking hay
with a sulky reke on Mr. Arthur Mc-
Keen's farm, Centre Road, East Wil-
liams, had the misfortune to get his
leg broken. The horse which he was
driving got the the line under its tail
and when Mr, `,Johnston pulled it out
the aeimel kicked him twice, breaking
the leg and cutting it.
in some maaner the animal got its front.
leg between the spokes of the hind
wheel, turning the baggy upside down
and threatening serious result. Mr.
Snell, who was underneath the buggy
wriggled out the best be could from
his unpleasant position and with con-
siderable difficulty got the horses quiet-
ed down again, little -the worse for
their escapade. Luckily, however, that
the horses were not wild for if they had
ever started to run doubtless Mr. Snell
would have been killed on the spot.
On Saturday night last while George
and Albert Walker, Wesley Sanders
and Ed. Shapton were returning home
in a buggy their horse took fright at
some youngsters beating a drum and
before going far upset buggy and
occupants into the ditch. Geo. Walker,
unfortunately had his foot caught be-
tween the spokes of one of the wheels
and was dragged a considerable dis
tance, but luekily be was wearing a
gaiter which came off rather easily and.
thus freed him from a very danger-
ous position. Ed. Shapton received a
severe shaking up and was compelled
to take his bed. Wes. Sanders had his
shoulder badly bruised and has not been
able to do anything since. Albert
Walker escaped unhurt: The buggy
and harness was badly wrecked. The
horse wascaptured at Mr, Credic
Stanlake's
cup Goes Thread.
A combination has taken place.
amongst the great thread manufactur-
ers in England and Scotland and in
consequence a rapid advance may be
looked for in the price of spools in Can-
ada. In all probability merchants will
have to charge 5e. each for the best
200 yd, Spools.

Parkhill: Mr Isaac Laughlin bad
the misfortune to fall from a load of
twine on Thursday and suffer a dislo-
cation of the shoulder in donsequence.
Something having goue wrong with
the harness Me. Laughlin descended
from the load in order to effect the ne-
cessary repairs, On re -mounting the

Seaforth: it'iueh sympathy is felt for
Mr. and Mrs. Luke Fortune, Tucker -
smith, in the death of their .youngest
daughter. Mary Emma, which occurr-
ed at her father's residence on Friday
last after a protracted illness. Some
months ago Miss Fortune, who was

causing consumption, which, quickly
