Don't forget Broderiek's sale Monday and Tuesday next. See local elsewhere with full particulars. Strawberries are now over and watermelons are too dear considering the price of Pain-Kiiler. The tall grass and unsightly weeds growing, along the edges of the side- walks should uow be cut. The cows made a raid on S. Powell's corn patch, Victoria St., twice this week and did considerable damage. The Ching farm situated in Hay was put up by auetion at the Commers eial House on Saturday last but was not sold. Several men are engaged repairing the G. T. R. switches at the depot this week. The same is being done all along the line, The G. T.

"The Ridgetown Plaindealer of last week, says:—"Mr, Geo, Weir, of Both- well, was in town one day last week, on his way home from Kingsville. Hopes were entertained that.111r. Weir would return to Ridgetown to reside, but he is about to close a deal for a fruit farm in Essex." The town presented a rather dull ap pearaneo Monday, July 13th. A large number from town and surrounding country celebrated the .glorious, pious and immortal memory of William Prince of Orpange at Goderich, and it is now guaranteed to remain green for another twelve months. The members of L. 0. L. No. 924, ac- companied by Centralia Fife and Drum Band, attended divine worship in the James Street Methodist church on San. day last. The brethern formed in pro- cession at the hall, headed by the band, which played a familiar hymn, and marched to the 'church whore Rev. Willoughby preached a very able and. appropriate sermon. The Ailsa Craig Banner says:—"In May 1895 there were planted on a patch of garden 20 feet by 14 feet, 56 strawberry Plants, and the ;f ield from the 5th of June to the ist of July, 1896, was one hundred heaped up boxes; 40 berries ot the Bttbach variety filling a box. An acre of ground at this rate of 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,; Boy Wanted. A good strong boy wanted to learn the art of printing. Apply at this office. Money round. A sum of money. The owner can have name by calling at my store. E. J. Spackman. Save ]your screed, Very many having cherry and pear trees will notice the presence of a small black slug on the leaves which is eat- ing the life' out of them and will scow destroy the tree unless checked. An authority advises scattering a shower of dust over the trees every two days or so. Don't delay the remedy or the trees will be badly injured if not killed.

An important change has been made in the laws rdlating to marriage, said change to take effect on August lst, 1896, Heretofore: it has been necessary for only one of the parties to the intend- ed marriage to make affidavit taneces- sary facts before an issuer of merriags licenses, but on and after the date mentioned above, both parties to the intended marriage must. personally mate affidavit to the required faete.

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.
