We were shown a peculiar freak of nature the other day by Mr, D. Davis! it being a five legged pig. The animal had three ordinary legs, while the third was doubled up to the second joint. It walked with little or ue lameness and marie use of the two feet on the one leg. Rev. Dr. Talmage says: " No power on eaith is so streng to build up a town as a newspaper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated. News papers build up a town in in- nurablo ways—chiefly perhaps, by building up the enterprising trade establishments which are pillars of a town's material and substantial de- velopment. The Verity Plow Company's fire Tuesday evening was the most de- structive fire Brantford has had for yoars. The cause cannot be explained and all that is known about it is that it started in the paint shop. Mr. Ver- ity estimates the loss at $100,000, in- sured for $50,000: Waterloo $10,000;. Northern, $10,000; Caledonia $10,000: Gore, $5,000; Wellington $5,000; Eco- nomie, $4,000; London, $3,000; Man- chester, $3,000. The three firemen in- jured during the conflagration are do• ing well. The home of Mr, and Mrs. David Russell, Exeter North, has again been saddened by the death of their sou Johnnie, who died. on Wednesday morning at the ago of seventeen yoars and ten months. The deceased bad been a victim of consumption fez -sever- al mouths, and was failing fast thus his death was not unexpected, This is the third of the family that has been cut down by that dread disease in a short space of time and the family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. His remains will be interred in the Exeter cemetery to morrow (Friday.) The Seaforth Sun thus refers to the death of Mr. Ridley McTaggart, a former resident of Usborne : "An- other sad death, which occurred here since our last issue was that of Mr. Ridley irfeTaggart, who died at his residence in town on Saturday Oct, 23rd, The deceased who was a native of Nova Scotia, was of Highland Scotch parentage. Mr. McTaggart with his wife and family came to this town about ten years ago but'aprior to com- ing here lived near Exeter an at one time lived in Walton. Death was can- ed by blood poisoning. A sliver enter- ed his hand and nothing was thought of the matter until blood poisoning set in, which euded fatally. A widow and family of grown-up sons tied daughters are left to mourn his loss. Mr. McTag- gart was a highly respected citizen, a member of the church of England and a Conservative in politics. The in- terment took place Monday to McTag- gart's cemetery Usborne. Mavor Holmes, editor of the New Era, Clinton, occupied the pulpit of the Main Street Methodist Church on Sunday both morning and evening and preach- ed very acceptably to large congrega- tions.

Irr weighed 101 pounds and was worth $5. A guess was given to every one purchasing 25e worth of soap. It should be understood that Judge Hardy's recent decision was to the effect that rural hotel•keepers could legally keep their bars open Saturday night and Sunday, but must not sell liquors between 7 p. m.

Death of Or, Gardiner. Dr, J. H. Gardiner, one of .the best known medical men in London died at his: home Tuesday of blood poisoning.

He was a native of Stirlingshire, Scotland,,a son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gardiner, and was born in 1850.

A year after re- ceiving the certificate he began teach- ing at Fullerton Corners, County of Perth, but he remained there only six months, resigning in order that he could attend the Normal school in To routo. On leaving the Normal he taught in. Ayr, Stamford (near Niag ara Falls) and Fitzroy Harbor (oil the Ottawa River) for periods aggregating five or six nears, and then he decided to study medicine at Toronto Univers- ity. He passed his examinationsvery successfully, carryiug off the silver medal, after which he went to Loudon, Eug , to take a post graduate course, and also visited the leading hospitals in Paris. In 1879 he returned to Can ada and secured practice in East Lon don. He interested himself consider- ably in Municipal affairs, holding the position of School Trustee and Council- lor for two terms each and deputy - reeve for one, and assisting in bring- ing about the amalgamation of the town and city.

A rather pleasant surprise greeted a number of neighbors at the residence of Mrs. Margaret Arming, Carling st. on Wednesday of last week. It appears they had been invited there to spend a few hours that afternoon, and when about five o'clock, the good lady of the house exploded her little surprise, which was to celebrate tbe marriage ceremony between herself and Mr. James Stancombe, of Parry Sound. Rev. Chas. Smith was present and per- formed the marriage ties, after which all participated in an excellent spread prepared for the occasion. The mar- riage was the outcome of youthful friendship, the happy couple having been raised together. The ADVOCATE wishes them every prosperity. The other night one of Mitchell's undertakers had a peculiar experience. He got word to go and prepare a male corpse for burial and being mistaken in the name he drove south from tbe town instead of north. .Imagine his surprise when he knocked at the door and was admitted by the man he sup- posed was dead.'
