Sale has been found for the very choicest varieties at 50 cents per barrel but thousands of bushels will be fed to hogs and cattle, or will go to rot in the orchards. Accident, On Wednesday while Stephen Powell was driving a horse, and when about to strike the animal with the whip, fell from the rig, the wheel passing over his arm and breaking it at the wrist. It will be some time before he will have use of the injured member, Serious Mishap, The Clinton News Record says: Chris Fahner. who resides near Exeter, showed several fine thoro'-bred live hogs at the Goderieh show and was awarded some of the prize money. The lot as in charge of Jno. Cookson, a cau tious driyer. On the return journey when coming down Acheson's hill on the Huron Road the reach of the heavi- ly laden wagon broke and for a time it looked as though there would be cer- tain death. The rig, driver and hogs were ditched and scattered promiscu- ously, the horses gaining their liberty. Through the kindness of neighbors all were cared for—the diver being badly, though not seriously, shaken up and bruised. Mr. Cookson was able to re- turn with his cargo to Exeter on Mon- day Good Bye Summer The sere and yellow leaf is upon us, and it will soon be the winter of our discontent. All the signs point to the fall. For instance, the enterprising merchant is laying in a goodly stock of goods and thinking seriously of enlarg- ing his space iu the ADVOCATE, flaring posters are everywhere announcing fall .shows in hamlets and cities. Sum mer sports are on their last legs, and the one-armed fiddler is tuning up his instrument, preparatory to the shutf- ling of feet, whish will come ere long in the merry dance. The coal wagon is ou its rounds, the dusky diamonds are being piled up in cellars deep, and crisp $5 bilis are going out in exchange Yes the summer of 1596 is on the home stretch, Pleasant weather, nbt too hot sandwiched with cool days, and its de parture will generally be regretted. Now then, tor a merry autumn and a jolly winter. Capture and Escapeand Recapture. About two months ago Thos. Craig escaped from Goderich jail, and on Monday he was recaptured at Niagara Falls, and on Wednesday Deputy Thos. Gundy, of Goderich, left the .Falls in charge of the prisoner, to bring him to Goderich. Prisoner's hands were hand- cuffed behind bis back, and when they reached London he complained that they hurt so much that his hands were swelling. Gundy found this to be the case, and released one hand. At Clin- ton the 7:20 train for Goderich was taken. Just as the train was going up Holmesville grade, Craig urgently ask- ed to be taken to the rear of the train, which was done, Gundy keeping, as he thought, a firm hold on the prisoner, and just as they turned to re enter the car, Craig sprang over the railing, alighting fairly on his feet, and made a break for liberty; the prisoner man- aged to get into Stanley's orchard, be- fore Gun dY who also J umPe dfr from the train could not get near him. It being duske h wasuickl y lost sight i o s ht of, and q made good his escape, notwithstanding a vigilant search made for him. Since the above was put in type we learn that Craig has been captured down in London township on Wednes- day and 'vas taken to Goderich last evening. Since his escape he has com- mitted several thefts atthe various places where he would put up for the night. Mr, Thos. Dunn, proprietor' of the Strathroy canning factory, lost one of his fingers in the "corniug" machine Wednesday. Great Offer.

The Mail is the leading' paper of Canada, and is alone worth more money than we ask for both journals. We cannot make this great oder without a loss, but we' are determined to run the circulation of the ,ADvoonxn up to high water mark, House orRerut;o Notes. The latest arrivals are H. Swarts, Stephen; James Tewsley, Colborne; W. McAllister, Goderich; and A. McIntosh, Ashfield. Mr. R. Reid, of Seaforth, re• cently came and took his wife away, she having improved in health so much as to evarrant her removal. Some of the inmates are quite ill, E. Holly being quite sick with pneumonia. The med- ical superintendent, Dr. Shaw, recently performed an operation on the inmate McAllister, which has been of great benefit to the old gentleman. The house was formally opened on Sept. 5, 1895, and since that time over 3,500 visitors have been shown through the building; this is equal to nearly 10 a day, so it will be seen that Mr. and Mrs, French have had considerable to do outside of their routine duties. The H, of R. Committee met last week and did a lot of business pertaining to the House. The Presbyterian Sabbath school, of Seaforth, very kindly sent a number of beautiful baguets for the in- mates of the House which were highly appreciated. Each boquet was accom- panied by a text of Scripture which most of the inmates have learned off by heart. The officers of the House take this opportunity of thanking the Seaforth Presbyterians for their lovely donation, We might here remark that the pleasure of the inmates could eas- ily be increased by remembrances of this nature which cost but little and go so far.—Mr. and Mrs. D.

Shortly after S o'clock the immense crowd ,repaired to the church where a musical and in. tellectual treat was in store. Mr. H. Bishop was assigned to the chair who fulfilled the duties admirably. The musical part of the program was fine, The choir did excellent service and the solo by Mrs. Archer, of Cobourg, was highly applauded. She displayed re- markable talent and a highly cultured and powerful voice. Rev. J. Edge, of Goderich, delivered his famous lecture, entitled, "Take back the thing's you borrow." The Rev. gentleman has a splendid delivery and was listened to with marked attention. His address was a ram treat from a literary stand- point, and contained a whole lot of good, sound advice which a great many could inwardly digest. All the town ministers were present and were sea t- ed on the platform. The proceeds amounted to $125.

The buildings contained a large quantity of hay; also machinery and a pair of horses, all of which were consumed. The fire originated from a spark from King's steam thresher. The buildings are insured in Howick Mutnal Fire Insurance Company Loss about $1,000. Kippen: Mr. John McGregor, of Tucl.ersmith, met with a very heavy loss on Tuesday last by the death of his heavy draught stallion, Springfield Darnley, which was imported by Mr. Charles Mason of Brucefield. The horse was only sick for a few days and all that veterinary skill could do seemed to be of no avail, He was a good stock horse and valuable to the country. The loss is heavy for Mr. McGregor, Goderich Tp: On Monday evening as Mr. Cantelon and his grandson, of Nile, were driving along the 7th con., on their way home, their horse shied and ran into the ditch, upsetting the buggy and throwing the occupants out. The horse freed itself from the rig and started up the road, but was caught before going very far. Mr. Cantelon was thrown violently out and fell on his side, injuring himself considerable, while the boy received a cut on his eye - 'brow. Clinton: A few days since while Mr. James Seale was travelling in the country he came across a farmer who had in a cage what seems a paradox— two white blackbirds; the farmer had secured them from a nest, and there could be no question about them be- longing to the blackbird species. The other day a boy named Woods, living near Bayfield, shot another freak of nature in the shape of a white black squirrel, and is haying it mounted in town. Brucefield: After a long and tedious illness Mrs. Kennard passed quietly away at the age of 65 years and 4 days. She was a mefnber of Union church, but for the last two years she has been unable to attend divine service; she has now joined the congregation above, from which sickness or sorrow will not deter her. Two of her daughters, Mrs. Cooper, formerly of Kincardine, and Miss Maria Kennard, of our village, proceeded her in death. She leaves be- hind her an aged partner, one son and six daughters to mourn the death of a loving wife and mother. She was buried on Monday iu the Egmondville cemetery. Seaforth: Mr. Geo. Patterson, met with a painful accident at Broadfoot's planing mill, on Thursday evening. He, together with Mr. John Powell, was taking a load of lumber into the dry kiln on a small car used for that purpose. In some manner the track on which the car was run, gave way and the load upset, falling on Mr. Patterson who was standing beside it. Mr. Powell noticed it going and called to Mr. Pat- terson who had not sufficient time to escape entirely, although he would un- doubtedly have been killed hadnot he been warned by Mr. Powell. As it was he was badly bruised about the chest and back and had to be driven bome, and has since been confined to his resi-° dence although he is now on the mend. Seaforth: On Friday last, as Masters W Papst and George Soole were bring- ing s'me goods from the station on 'a light wagon, they were unfortunate enough to have a runaway, which proved rather serious for George Soole and for the wagon. a on. Th. a traces became detached and this freightened the horse P t to r causing itun. In endeavoring to save himself, George jumped from the wagon and in so doing got one foot caught in the hind wheel and was dragged some distance, receiving a bad cut in the face, and a severe bruise about the shoulder, which has since confined him to the house. The wagon was badly smashed, and the horse be- coming free from it ran home.: Willie Papst, however escaped injury, and the horse was none the worse for its jaunt. CABLING BROS.
