The pathtuasters are liable to a fine of
$10 if this is not attended to during
the month of July, and any farmer

blown on to .his property can prose-

Evergreens lit Danger.
The Seaforth Expositors says: oThe
spruce gall, which has caused great
damage to our forests, has Trade its
appearance in this locality. It is very
minute, and easily escapes notice until
the mischief is clone. Generitil , the
work begins in the interior ofd the
shrub, and ittay be defected by a pe-
culhu' odor and by the falling leaf
spikes. Professor Lochead says that
the spraying the bushes with kerosene
emulsion or whale oil emulsion has
been found effective. Owners of spruce
trees and hedges should look into the
matter, and. take steps to cheek the
past at once. Next week will be the
right time to catch the second brood,
when the shrulis should sprayed as
above.
Fruit for Paris.
The secretaries of the different hor-
ticultural societies have received' no-
tices that arrangements have been
male for the putting up fruit in
glass in the Parris exposition, and that
seventy-five jars have been set aside
for Huron, Bruce and Grey. The co-
operation of the fruit growers here is
asked in collecting showy sorts of
fruit as they ripen and forward to H.
L. Hutt, of the agricultural college
Guelph, who will pay express charges.
So far no allowance has been wade for
the cost of fruit. The small fruit is to
be put up in one or two quart jars and
for large fruit in two to four quarts.
The jars will be labelled with the name
of the grower. Any person who wishes
to show fruit at. Paris should com-

the two were on their way to the for-
pier's home when the horse tookfright
at two wheelmen who were sitting on
the side of the road, upsetting the oc-
cupants and throwing them out with
considerable force. Miss Passmore
fortunately escaped with slight injur-
ies while Mrs. Down did not fare so
well, sustaining several painful wounds
and was.badly shaken up. She is at

Death of Richard Stanlake.
Death has removed another of
Huron's oldest pioneers in the person
of Mr. Richard Stanlake, who passed
to his reward at the House of Refuge,
Clinton, early Tuesday morning, at
the ripe age of 83 years and 1 month.
The deceased: had been in failing health
for several months, but his condition
did not take a serious turn until a
few days previous to his death, when
he was taken worse andgradually
sank until death put an end to his
sufferings. Infirmities of old age was
the cause of death. Mr. Stanlake was
at one time a prosperous and well-to-
do farmer of the township of Stephen
where he resided for many years, . but
during the great boom at Port Blake
he wits induced to quit the farm and -
erect a large hotel at that place. This
proved a wild speculation and cost
him the greater part of his hard earn-
ed wealth and this with other unfore-
seen misfortunes he finally lost all he
had, and has for the past few years
been cared for at the House of
Refuge. He leaves, to mourn his de-
mise three sons and two daughters.
His remains were brought here for
burial and were laid at rest in the
Exeter cemetery on Wednesday.
