their hogs running on the grass, but
to be sure to finish with three week's

and one of the best things to do, to al-

his son near Onondaga, committed sui-
cide last night by hanging: himself in

yesterday afternoon Charles Wilson,
one of Howick's most respectable farm-

ber of the Loyal Orange Association.

in and managed to lift him out, but
was unable to climb ont herself, the
water being up to her shoulders. -

a gentleman driving by heard her cries
and ran to the rescue, and succeeded in

• Nothing has so far marred the plea-
sure of the boys of No. 6, All are in
good health and have splendid. appe-
tites. The weather has been as wish-

last,there was a slight shower of about
an hour's duration, but Old Sol soon
shone out in all its glory,. lighting up
the faces of the thousands of volun-
teers that were upon the green sward.
balmy breeze was 114,ere , in now
and again sufficient to temper the
heat. It is a pleasing sight to stand
ata distance and view the whole
scene. The white tents. have the ap-
pearance of n mshroonls white as a
lilry, and the drill field dotted all over
with men, Those who left Exeter
but a few days' ago with a milky
white eoiuplexion, now have the • cap_
pearance of Indians, The labor of the
day commences almost as soon as the
call to arise is sounded, when the boys
make their toilet, which is not a very
elaborate one. Then coons breakfast
a short rest is then taken, when there
is an -hour's drill, after which conies a
short breathing; spell, when. from 0,30
until 12 o'clock drill goes on. As soon
as their drill is over the boys hustle
.over to the mess to get their rations.
The afternoon exercises is from 2 to
4.30, after which the boys are at
liberty to roan about at will • till 10
o'clock. Gamed ue11tla;,

Dick Davis, annouueing the death of
his aunt. The sad news cast a gloom
on No. 0. ami they were in sympathy
with the Lieut, in his sad. bereave-

He always has a kind word for all.

A LAW SUIT SETTLED. -The case of
Hannah vs. Tasker which was to
have been tried at Goderich in the
High court on Tuesday last was settl-
ed by the parties before coming be-
fore the judge. Mr. Tasker was a
tenant of lot 17, concession 9, Usborne
He rented the place from Mrs. (Dr.)
Campbell for aterm of seven years,
and of which two years are yet to run,
subject to a condition that in the event
of the place being sold prior to the ex-
piration of the term he was to give up
possession on reasonable notice being
given by the owner, and the amount
he was to receive for his crop and the
inconvenience he might be put to by
terminating his lease, to be settled by
arbitration. The farm was purchased
a short time ago by Mr. John Hannah,
of Tuckersimith, from Mrs. Campbell.
He purchased the farm under the con-
dition of the lease. In April last he
notified. Mr. Tasker that he desired
possession of the farm, but Mr. Tasker
refused to give possession until he was
paid for certain expenditures on the
fares which the lease did not specify,
but which he made with the consent
of the then owner, and he went on and
put in his spring crop. The action was
brought to dispossess the tenant. It
was afinally agreed that the tenant
should give immediate possession and
that the amount of his remuneration
should pay a specified proportion of
the costs incurred. Bothparties would
be in pocket a good many dollars had
they been able to settle without going
into court.

There are thousands of well mean-
ing people in our Dominion who are
either adding to their burdens of
physical sufferings, or who are mak-
ing so little progress in banishing dis-
ease from their bodies, that they are
continually despondent and miserable.
The people we refer to are the men
and women who are placing their
confidence in the many advertised
pills, tablets, sarsaparillas and ner-
vines that have little or no medicinal
value to commend them.
The tens of thousands in Canada
who are at present using Paine's
Celery Compound for the banishment
of blood diseases, nervous affections,
rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia,
liver andkidney complaints are the
wise and prudent. They have been
guided by the advice of relatives,
friends and neighbors, who have
found new life, health and strength
from Paine's Celery Compound.
The continued flow of testimonials
from cured people is the strongest
proof that Paine's Celery Compound
is the only salvation of the sick, the
one true friend that never disappoints
when disease threatens life.
Are you, dear reader, one of the
disappointed ones, still in the death
grasp of serious ailment? If you are,
we would counsel you to throw aside
the usless medicines you are now us-
ing and give Paine's Celery Compound
an honest trial.
The great medicine is a prescription
of one of ,the ablest medical men that
ever lived, and is indorsed by the
highest practitioners. You must use
it if you would have a new and happy
lease of life.

tough as sole leather.

You'll try us twice;
You'll find our meats
Are choice and nice.
