Twenty-seven years ago Monday of last week, snow fell and winter set in and there was steady sleighing from then until the middle of April. In ivany instances the apples werefrozen on the trees, and the roots remained in the ground all winter, so says the .Sea - forth Expositor. During the past two years the' oat crop has increased by 27,000,000 bushels in Ontario, while the number of horses has: been reduced in the province by 50,000 during the same period In the United States the same reduction in horses has been going on owing to the electric railway and othercauses,while the yearly output' of oats bas increased from. 638,834,850 bushels in 1893 to $24,443,537 hushcls in 1895.

Several of the family have died. within the past few years of the same dread disease. The bereaved pareuts have the sympathy of all in their sad afiictiou. Two rival and rather "seEdy" look- ing pedlars struck town on Tuesday and on meeting and making each oth ers' acquaintapce some harsh and vile language polluted the air and had it not been for the timely arrival of Con- stable Creech doubtless a, true scene of Texas rowdyism would have ensued. One of the furiated knights pulled a revolver on the other and threatened to take his life for trespassing on what he claimed to be his "ground." Both were ordered out of town; but such charac- ters should be more severely dealt with, The Hensall Observer says:—"On Sunday afternoon while returning in a rig from Exeter Messrs. H. Parker and Jno Mallett had an exciting experience. It appears that the iron connecting the tongue with the axle broke and hitting one of the horses on the leg caused it to kick, which act was soon taken up by the other horse. John manfully maintained hold of the reins for several hundred yards, but coming is contact with some unknown object, he was tossed about 15 feet in the air, alight- ing ou his head and shoulders in the ditch, but Harry still sat in the rig with perfect silence and composure looking for good place to make his exit, when his chance came too sudden for the horses at last breaking free of the rig dashed home ward at a break- neck speed, carrying only the tongue with them. After keeping the road for sortie time the rig took to the ditch when Harry concluded to jump and alighted in the same manner as his companion," An Exeter correspondent to the London News has the.following:—"A somewhat exciting encounter took place one day this weak at a certain residence in town. The lady upon entering the woodshedwas surprised to behold, what she supposed to be a strange cat, com- fortablycurled up in the corner, and indignantly proceeded to expel the in- truder, but the supposed cat happened also to be possessed of considerable dig- nity, and resented the interfereace in a manner that rendered his presence ex- tremely odious as well as odorous. The aid of a young man in the house was at once solicited, who, true to his repu- tation far gallantry, readily responded and endeavored, by all the artifices of modern welfare to dislodge the enemy, but all to no purpose. As a last resort a call was sent to Macedonia to come over and help him, and Maendonia, armed with the latest invention in ar• tillery, was soon at the seat of action,' Notwithstanding the fact that he was greatly outnumbered by the attacking party, his sicunks1 p bravely defended evening session.'

Any fisher- man failing to comply with the re- quirements will be prosecuted; hi.snets seized and his license cancelled. This does not affect the special. concessions granted in Detroit and St, Clair •lake, where wholly exceptional circumst-inc es exist- The Apple Trade. • The apple market in the old country has become so badly demoralized that. no doubt quite a number wish they had left it severley alohe. Not only have the regular dealers lost heavily, but we have heard of several instances where farmers, who sent forward their otvn fruit; have been called upon to lose their apples entirely, and also to make advances besides, to pay the freight. 'Mistral Accident On Tuesday last Mr. Thos. Harvey, of the 2nd concession of Hay, met with a painful accident, It seems he was engaged 10 prying stones out of the ground with a crow -bar when one of the stones slipped back ori the bar, caus- ing it to revert with terrible force and coming in contact with his chain drove two of his teeth up in the upper jaw, breaking it badly and causing a pain- ful wound, The teeth had to be ex- tracted.

Refreshments at 9 o'clock, doors open at 7, program commences 7:30. Admission adults, 15 cts.; chil- dren 10c. Apple Grubs A successful farmer gave a note of warning the other day ih regard to the apple crop. The short crops of 'the past two years have had the effect of almost exterminating the worm. The apples this year are remarkably sound and free from grub. To prevent re- currence of the evil, apple growers should not allow the fruit to lie under the tree for any length of time. It is better to use them as feed for stock than to wait the chance of a sale at the risk of producing a plague of the grubs again. Funeral Reform Rev. Dr. Langtry, of St. Luke's Anglican Church, Toronto, has inaug urated a movement which, though it has been in operation several years in Great Britain, is new to Canadian Eng- lish churchmen. A burial society has been formed among members of the church and it has for its object the re duetion of excessive burial charges. The society intends to furnish funerals complete for twenty-five dollars or less. A uniform Style of hearse and coffin will be used and services will be con ducted at the church, instead of at the house and grave, thus saving cab and carriage expenses, Dr. Langtry claims the Presbyterians, Methodists and other religious bodies are in sympathy and will likely follow as soon as the success of the scheme is assured. It is propos- ed to make a contract with a city un- dertaker. Broke lilts Leg. A most unfortunate and lamentable accident happened to Mr. Thos. Snell, Sr,.on Saturday last which might have resulted fatally. He and several others were engaged in shovelling gravel at Mr. Geo. Ford's pit north of the village and while be and Mr. Chas. Wilson were ,working• together under an overhanging• bank of clay, a large portion of it gave way. Unfortunate ly justat this particular time and place, a team of horses .happened to be passing and this prevented Mr. Snell from making a timely escape, and the immense weight struck him with terrible force, rendering him uncon- scious and nconscious,and burying him in several feet of clay, while Mr Wilson barely had time to get out of the way, Willing; hands immediately pet to work and dug himout of his distressing position, when it was discovered that his left leg had been broken, the bone protrud- ing through the sock and shoe into the ground, and that he was otherwise' internally injured. He was at once conveyed to his home on Huron street, when Drs. Rollins & Amos dressed the injured member, and he is now doing as well as could be expected, although he will never have the same use of -the" foot, one of the ankle bone having to'be removed. It was thought at first . that the foot would have to be removed but there ie every indication of saving it now, The accident is indeed a sad one and Mr. Snell's, many friouds will be pained to learn of his unfortunate mishap.

Dr, Bethune read a paper on tape worm, with sped mens; this paper was equally instruc- tive. Dr. Taylor gave a history and notes of cases in practice on diphtheria; this was a specially interesting paper_ because of his experience with the anti-toxine treatment. The associa- tion expressed the opinion that the Provincial Government should have a supply of anti•toxine at centres in dif- ferent parts of the province so that it can be more readily secured than at present, the special value of this reme- dy being in its early application.
