Rough Coated Scotch Collie Shepherd
no=s.
The pure bred Scotch Collies, are of
a kind and affectionate disposition, and
become strongly attached to their mas-
ter's family. They are very watchful
ancT always on the alert, while their
intelligence is really marvelous: At
one year old they are able to perform
full duty, herding sheep, cattle, swine
and other kinds of stock, attending
them all day when necessary, keeping
them together and where they belong,
and driving off strange intruders. They
learn to know their master's animals in
a very short time, and a well-trained
dog will gather them together,, drive
them• home, and put each in its right
stall. They hays a dainty carriage
and fine style, profuse silky hair of
variation of colors, bushy tail carried
low, ears, sma11 and semi-erect, head
long and sharp. Purchasers are de-
lighted with those sent out by Messrs.
Potts Bros , Parkesburg, Chester Co.,

White swine and poultry.

OBITUARY.—Death has again visited
our midst and removed another of our
oldest settlers. This week we record
the death of Mrs. Heneratte Eggert at
the advanced age of 69 years. The
funeral service was held in the Grace
church and conducted by Rev. Mr, Eby
of Dashwood. Her remains were laid
to rest in the Delaney cemetery.—
If some of the Canadians, who went
to Brazil a few years ago and are now
returning to Montreal, knew of many
of the good farms for sale in Ontario
they might be glad to settleiu the gar-
den of the world We believe that in
the near future every farm for sale in
Ontario will be bought by a better class
of farmers than are now on some of our
good land. Many of our good farmers
claim that they can stake farming pay
at the present low prices. -Mr. Fred
Kodina caught 8 rats in a trap in less
than half a day.
Morris.
ACCIDENT.—An accident transpired
at the home of Mr. John Mcllroy, last
week, which was peculiar in its char-
acter, and remarkable in the fact that
it did not end fatally. An adopted son
of Mr. Mcllroy, Douglas Armstrong by
name, aged about 15, was fooling with
a revolver, unknown to the other mem-
bers of the family. He had a cart
ridge in one chamber, and was trying
to strike off a gun cap on the nipple;
the revolver did not work properly, and
he had carelessly turned it toword him-
self in bis efforts to make it go, when
the hammer dropped on the cartridge
and there was, of course, an explosion.
The bullet entered his mouth, shitting
one of his teeth in two,and lodged in the
fleshy part of his tongue, where a doc•
tor afterwards found and extracted it.
The fact of it striking his tooth and be-
ing checked, alone saved bis life, as it
would otherwise have passed up
through his head. It was a wonder-
fully narrow escape.

give his time and means. As a neigh-
bor he was all that could be desired, and
leaves behind him many friends who
will regret his loss.—J. McGee has been
awarded the contract of conveying the

John Milson, whose connection with the

preciated by the general public, will be
greatly missed Mr. McGee, too, is a
good man, and will, we, think, give
general satisfaction •

—Geo. Hall, who absconded from the
House of Refuge some time ago, and
who has been roaming from, house to
house for meals and living in a filthy
shanty, was brought before the J P.
and the Reeve last Saturday, who fined
him $10 and in default 20 days in jail
Not having the necessary funds he was
compelled to go to castle Dixon at God-
erich. Some of the witnesses swore
that this man made his home in a house
without a window, bed, table or chair
and it was not fit for any human being
to live in. Why such people should
abscond from a good home like the
House of Refuge and find pleasure in
living in such dens is a question hard
to solve. They appear to be out of
their sphere when compelled to live in
cleanliness.—George Young, also an
absconder from the House of Refuge
was brought before Wm. Lewis, J. P.,
owing to the constable not procuring
satisfactory evidence, court was ad-
journed and George allowed to go on

parts unknown. This is an easy wa y
of getting rid of him.—Full arrange-
ments are made for the dedication of
the church for next Suuday. The work-
ers are busy night and day at the or-
gan,which from outside appearance ie a
credit to the builders. Arrangements
are being made to provide for a large
attendance, which is expected. Sun•
day afternoon is especially set apart for
the English friends and ample room
will be provided for all who may see fit
to attend. Bishop Breyfogel will preach
an English seimon and will lecture Mon-
day evening in English on " Glimpses
of Europe with American Eyes." The
admission to this lecture is 25 Cts. All
other meetings, save the Organ Recital
on Tuesday evening, is free, but no ob-
jections will be found if liberal dona-
tions are given towards the building
fund. The church is pronounced by
all who have seen it to be one of the
handsomest in this part of the country
and the building committee deserve
great credit for the manner and wisdom
displayed in erecting this handsome
structure at a very reasonable cost. It
may be said that in some matters some-
thing cheaper would have answered
the purpose, but we are satisfied that
for every dollar spent the congregation
have received the value therefor.
Staffa: Mr. Joe Hambly, has made
an assignment for the beueflt of his
creditors.
