Met some fellows from Clinton ranch- ing about half way down. Was very glad to see some one from Huron. On our way down saw great quantities of young ducks on the sloughs; also foxes, chicken and one cayote. He followed us about a mile, had no gun, otherwise he would not follow so far.

Mrs. D. Kreller, o. the Royal Alfred Hotel, has been an- noyed a great deal of late by rats Thinking to get rid of them, she cover- ed up everything in the pantry and? left exposed on the top of the refriger- ator some pie, over which she sprinkled strychnine. Next morning Mr. Kreller. arose first, and coming down stairs • went into the pantry for something to eat. He eat off a piece of pie, and eat-- ing it, then went to the stable. Mrs. Kreller decended shortly afterwards, and went down to remove the pie be- fore any one could get down, but she almost fainted to find that some ono had been there before her. She at once thought of her busband,and from the back door called to him to know if: ' he had touched the pie. His reply was that he had. She cried, "Oh, it was. poisoned," and at once got hien somo• mille and made him drink it, ancl then, had his physician summoned without delay. The victim was seized with con- vulsions, but at last accounts the doc- tor, by the usual method, had quieted him, and he was sleeping, though not yet out of danger. BIRTHS.

EDWARD STONE. Sodom Mn. EDITOR., DEAR Sna:-I see in yonr last week's issue an article signed by 0. Prouty, criticising a certain article that appear- ed in the previous issue, because it t ' ' Mr. John seemedo sympathize with . 1dr Stacey, Now, Mr. .Editor, as . . Prouty's article a•lludes to me you will please permit me a little space in your : valtiable paper to answer him. As to the article Mr. Prouty sneaks of 1 - know nothing about it, neither do 1 know the author; nor do I believe Mr. Stacey ever injured any of Mr. Prou-Ohio, ty,s stock. The facts of the case are these: Mr. Prouty's stock has been a nuisance on the highway for the last fifteen or twenty years as any of our old neighbors can testify. NOW, Mr. Editor, he speaks of having the backs of his sheep, broken, insinuating at the same tine that it .was wilfully the deed of some person.. As any farmer • • knows sheep on the voa,dside at night are liable to be run over by passing. rigs, but he blames poor old John Stacey, a rnan of over 80 years of age, who, any sane man knows, is not able to follow either sheep or cattle to do them itijury. Mr. Prouty for the last fifteen or twenty years, usually about the lst of Apriaallas turned his stock on the roads with practically nothing to eat afterwards, hence,is it any won- der they bother his neighbors. T -Te speaks about a scheming lot, plotting against him, when in reality people are only trying to protect themselves. Last winter the snosv drifted about my gate to such an extent that 1 conld not elOSO it and my colt got on the road and went into their yard. The second 'en t out 1 rot notice from Mrs. hole 11, NN . & . Prouty to keep it home, when his own gates were open or:the colt could not have got in. 1 am.not in the habit o t turning any of my stock out on the road and it does not become those who Make the highway their pasture field to complain so quickly. Now, Mi.... Editor, there is another "lingo" headl ed, "Misleading and false" and signeg , lY ).

Next morning Mr. Kreller. arose first, and coming down stairs • went into the pantry for something to eat. He eat off a piece of pie, and eat-- ing it, then went to the stable. Mrs. Kreller decended shortly afterwards, and went down to remove the pie be- fore any one could get down, but she almost fainted to find that some ono had been there before her. She at once thought of her busband,and from the back door called to him to know if: ' he had touched the pie. His reply was that he had.
