Goderich : A very fast piece of work was done on the farm of James Young, Colborne, on Tuesday of last week, when 650 bushels of wheat were threshed in three hours and a half. Messrs.

A very heave. rain and hail storm passed over this eeetiou ori Tuesday afternoon. The hail stoues rauged in size all the way from pin heads' to ice- burgs. In fact they were the largest hail stones we have ever seen, The Clinton New Era says :—"After a six weeks' drought, a most copious and acceptable shower of rain glad- dened the earth and also the hearts of people in this locality on Thursday last week. It literally "supplied aloeg-felt want," We were handed a mammothhens egg on Monday, the product of one of Alr. Jos. McDonald's hens, Hay. It weighed 41 ounces and measured in circumfereuce 7 inches one way and 8 the other. He sways he has hens that lay those monster eggs regularly. On Tuesday afternoon a mysterious fire was discovered in • Drs. I3yndman & Hy ndman's office just in time to save the contents and building and probably avert a. serious conflagration. It had made considerable headway, the cur• tains and carpets being badly burned It is supposed the fire originated be- some ysome person carlessly dropping an ig- nited match. On Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock the Trivitt Memorial church was the scene of an interesting event, especially to the fair portion of this community, it being the occasion of the marriage of Miss Julia Fraleigh, daughter of Mr. Jacob Fraleigh, of Wellington, to Arthur H. Lorn, Clerk in Holy Orders, Incumbent of Queens bury, Diocese of Ontario. Mr. C. Prouty, Clerk of the township of Stephen, is 84 years old, and is pro- bably the most active ofhis age in the county. Notwithstanding this great age and being somewhat indisposed last week he started out in his official capacity and drove 167 miles and served 240 papers in three and a half days. We question whether many of the young men of to -day at twenty would perform the same task in so short a time. A minister in a town on a recent Sunday surprised his audience by read- ing the following announcement from the pulpit: " The regular session of the Donkee club will be heldas usual at the close of the service. Members will line up just outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the ladies as in their custom. Any member known to escort a young lady to church like a man and sit; with her like a gentleman, will be promply expelled from the membership." A similar an- nouncement would be quite in order or any of our churches here. The Official Program issued by the Western Fair Association this year is the best yet.published. The work com- prises 58 pages, with chrome cover, and inside printed on fine book paper. It contains useful information for visitors and a number of illustrations showing the principal attractions, also advertise ments of some of the leading business houses appear in its pages. An excel lent map of Western Ontario, in color, is also given. The book is in keeping with this old and reliable up to -date Fair, In the number and . quality; of the exhibits and the attractions to be presented the Silver Jubilee Exhibition will far exceed the excellent exhibits of former years.

Address Mrs. F. A. Warner, Saginaw, East Side, Michigan. Terrific Storlu. An electrical storm passed over this section on Tuesday night last which was of a most severe char atter. The lighthing flashed from all directions, the thunder roared in cessantly, and the rain fell in torrents. The rain was badly needed, and will do much good to the country gener ally, but the damage by lightning must have been enormous. Look iu what direction you would, the heav- ens were illuminated by vivid light- ning and more particularly the glare from some barn brought low by its destroying element. The losses report- ed are:—The barn and contents of Mrs. Wm. Jones, of the 4th concession of Us- borne;che barn and contents of Richard hemmer, of the 8th concession of the same township; and the barn and con- tents of Sandy Innis, of Stanley, near Clinton. Later reports will doubtless disclose much more damage to have been done. The Latest Swindle. The Toronto police hold a warrant for a man who, under the name of W. A. Phase, alias Mitford, has been swind- ling Eastern Ontario hotelkeepers out of sums ranging from $1.75 to $8.50 each. Chase or Mitford, shipped pack- ages supposed to contain watches, ad- dressed to himself at the hotels, c. o, d., and the proprietors, under the belief that he would arrive at their houses within a couple of days paid thecharg. es, which as the consignee he collected at the Toronto Express office This swindle was tried upon Otto. Jung, of the Albion hotel, last week, but it failed to work and the articles sent still lies in the express office with a two dollar charge against it. , It purports to be a watch, but it is likely enough a piece of lead. Hotelkeepers in Woodstock, Clinton and various other places have been similarly honored. Occasionally the scheme works, as in the following case at Ottawa described by the Citizen: "The proprietor of the Windsor hotel was ' done;,up' on Tuesday by a neat little skin game. A letterwas received at the house signed F. A, Ritz, to the effect that -a watch would reach the ho- tel a few days before the writer. The proprietor was asked to pay charges on same. The parcel came with charges to the amount of 81.75, which were paid. Theparcel, was afterwards found to contain a small amount of tea lead. Mr. Alexander, of the Grand Union, re- ceived a similar letter, but the fake had been discovered before he was caught. less came off avid lit trying to replace it young Audrews climbed up on tbe windless, when he fell to the door, a distance of about ten feet, strikin';• on his shoulder, whieh was spraiued so se- verely that he has since had to carry his arm in a sling. Lumley: Daring the recent storm the blouse of Air. A. Cole was strut; by liehtniiig, knocking the chimney to pieces, hreel:tng the upstair window, singed the curtain, teed proceeding down the stove pipes, stonehing the pipes, and Waded iu the cellar, where it splfuteri'd the sleeper and steps into kindling wool: Fortunately uo one was hurt beyond the shoelt, as the house did not ignite. Mitchell : David Williaine who has been a resident of Mitchell for the pas: 15 years, died at his home in the west ward on Setu. rdcty: evening last. I3u was burn at St David's .[feed. Pent- Brookshire, Wales. in .1513, and attain- ed tbe ripe old age of el years Laud six mouths. Deceased was a maa of great amiability of character, and was highly respected by all who knew him He leaves bellied hent to .mourn his boss a widow alae three sons, for whom much sympathy is felt. Goderieh: On Saturday Thos. Sturdy, of Sturdy Bros, was about to harness a horse the animal, a new one only recently purchased. got fright ened agate kicked the owner severely. A young man hearing cries ran to the stable. and seeing Mr. Sturdy on the i. stable floor moved him from the horse and called for assistance. On remov- ing the injured man to his home he was found to be horribly injured, his close aud jaw being broksn, and badly bruised in several parts of his body. Goderieb : On Saturday lIugh Hamilton,, one of the best known elti- zees of Goderieh, passed rather suddou 1y to the great beyond, in his eighty. fifth year. The deceased gentleman bad been In poor health for some time, but he was elwnys able to take his daily walk, and on the afternoon of the day preceeding his decease he was around as usual His death was a sad surprise to the citizens, as he had been seen around town so much lately, and but few thought the end was so near. St. elarys: Mrs. John Shoebottom and daughter, Miss Violet Shoebottom, of \Vest Nissouri, accompanied by Mrs. McClarty and three children, and Mrs, M'eLnuren, of Red Jacket, Miele., visit- ors, drove into town in a light demo- crat wagon, with one horse attached, on Thursday afternoon. Wheu com- ing dawn S. Kelly's hill at the south end of Walter street, a bolt came out of one shaft, causing the horse to go rapidly down the hill, swerving the wagon to one side of the road and into the ditch. With a sudden lurch the occupants were thrown out, with the exception of Miss Violet Shoebottom who plu:kily held on to the lines. The others were not so fortunate, Mrs. John Shoebottom being seriously hurt, while the other two ladies and one of the children were badly bruised and shak- en up. dew Urooerij...
