hotel where he is staying are daily
thronged with people hawing almost
every known infirmity and that they
almost invariably go away improved
and having implicit fnith in the powers
of theman. Many go to him from great
distances. Certain it isthathis patients
believe themselves better, even if in re-
ality they are not,and if nothing fur-
ther than this is accomplished the mere
fact of having given the patient tem -
vary relief should be considered a
leasing. it is hart to believe that
the gentleman has the power to et.
feet permanent cures by this method.
However the results remain to he seen.

Sacred Concert.

Nicks' Forecasts tor September.
Frosts in many localities, especially
northward, between the 15th and 19th
may reasonably be expected. The
ne>,t regular storm period is central
on the 21st, this being also the central
day of earth's autumnal equinox. This
period will express itself in falling
barometer, rising temperature, threat-
ening storm clouds) with rain, wind
and thunder. the crisis falling on the
21st to 23rd, progressively frwn west
to east. It behooves all who navigate
the lakes and high seas to keep eyes
trained on approaching possibilites at
this and other September periods. An
other high barometer and change to
decidedly cooler will come in from the
northwest close behind these storms.
Sacred Spots.
The St. Thomas Times calls upon the
people to preserve the graves of the
pioneers, and to see to it that the little
farm plots containing graves of the
first settlers are properly cared for. A
wise suggestion is this: The original
occupants of the land came here Buffer-
ing great hardshipsand working faith-
fully until death, for what? -for their
descendants. who are now reaping a
rich harvest These men and women
were heroic figures. They faced dan-
ger. They undertook heavy toil, thev
died after doing their duty, but with
no experience of the result of their le -
hors. The resting place of every one
of them is a sacred spot, and the Ca-
nadians of this day ought to treat it
as such.
Won tke Diamond Riga.
The excitement is all over. The
Quaker Remedy Cotnpany have gone
to Clinton after two weeks in town.
They cleared the town of five or six
hundred dullars,and left medicine and
soap galore, and nue lone diamond
ring. The company was well-behaved
in every way. In their concerts the
singing was very good. in solos and
quartettes, but the band music was
simply barbarous, although it served
the purpose of drawing large crowds
each night. The fun came in the baby
contest for the diamond ring, which
was won by the baby daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Mallott, Jr., which re-
ceived in round numbers some 32,090
votes. Many babies were in the race
but three running neck -and -neck soon
out -distanced the others, and the three -
cornered race was very close up to the
last evening, when the winner, made
a remarkable spurt and won out han-
dily. We do not know anything about
the value of the medicine or the soap.
but judge there is plenty here to keep
the town "well" and "clean" for many
a long day.

Ere another week will have passed
the 19066 Fall Fair at Exeter will have
become a thing of the past. The Step-
hen Sr, Uslorne Agricultural Society
has been at great expense this year in
improving the grounds and buildings
so as to give better accommodation
and greater room for exhibits and it is
to be hoped that the citizens will do
everything in their power to make the
fair a greater success than ever. It is
not only in the interest of the society
and the surrounding country, but ben-
eficial to the business interests of the
town that this exhibition should be a
success. Never yet has it been any-
thing else than successful but there is
still room for improvement. Then let
anyone who can in any way add to its
attractiveness put their shoulders to
the wheel and push it along to a happy
and successful Issue.
