While George Mitchell and a companion
wove splitting wood, George felt something
tickle his nose, and rubbing the back of his
hand across his fab, found his nose bleeding,
Thoughtlessly, he stretched his heed for-
ward ovei the block, saying "see, my nose
is bleeding." The axe of his companion was
at that instant descending and struck Geo.
en the back of the hand, inflicting a fearful
gash. Dr. McDarrnid, of Hensall, patched
it up.

A very pleasant evening was spent at
the residence of Mr. Joseph Roney, 2nd
concession of Hibbert, on Wednesday,
the 16th inst., it being the occasion of the
marriage of their daughter Lizzie, to Mr.
Hugh Hamilton, of Motherwell. About
80 sat down to supper, and I think every
one did ample justice to the most excellent
spread. The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Mr. Gilpin, of Stage. The pre-
sents were both numerous and costly.
May long life and happiness attend them.

Do not mourn, Charles is in heaven,
Waiting for you till the call may be given ;
He was always good, and kind, and true,
So don't he down -hearted, he's waiting for
you.
God guarded and watched o'er him here,
And he had nothing to dread or to fear,
Always willing and ready to obey,
So God suddenly called him aWay.
Charles is radient in whiteness,
All glowing in heavenly brightness,
Standing at the Master's right hand,
Singing praises and. glory to the Lamb.

Tuckersmith.
Recently there has been a great deal
said about the effects of drinking and the
depth of misery the unfortunate victims
of the habit bring upon themselves through
its indulgence, but the worst case we have
heard of for some time comes from Tuck-
ersmibh in this county. The Scott Act is
supposed to be in force in that township
as well as in other parts of tne fair county,
still it is evident drinking to excess is still
going on. The story as we get it is aa
follows : A Tuckersmith housewife fed
her fowls the other morning with a liberal
supply of oats from a bin. Later in the
day she noticed they acted strangely, and
later on found a rooster stretched out ap-
parently dead. She concluded that they
must have been pdisoned in some way,
and went right to work and plucked the
feathers from the dead rooster except the
coarser ones in the tail and on the wings,
and threw the body on the manure heap.
Toward noon, to the surprise of the family,
he wag etireimelaont as ,as ever,
'Witholit gortie plumaie. As the
rooster is of much prized species, the lady
dressed him up in blouse and overalls and
he now struts about doing as well as ma
be expected. Inquiry into the cause o
the transe into which the rooster had fal-
len revealed the fact that one of the work
hands had stowed away among the oats a
jar of old rye whiskey, which:had toppled
over, „aild...s,ati:•_ate_d_lhe oats
thoroughly. And it was the moist oats
the lady was most particular in feeding to
the fowls.,

The proprietor of the Queen's hotel,
Clinton, was tried one day last week, for
selling liquor and thereby arousing the
suspicion of newly fledged (doubtless)
sneaks.
A few evenings ago an oyster supper
was served at the home of Mr. Robert
Essery, of Stephen. An enjoyable time
was spent, by the pleasure party. After a
late hour all returned to their homes,
feeling much 1.)etter by their evening's
fun.
It iseevident that Mr. M. C. Cameron's
life is particularly uncertain during this
stormy season. We understand that he
1ms kept clergymen of a certain denom-
ination in his presence even while on the
streets of one of the most important towns
of Huron. As they were not buying
sheep sOinething serious must be expected.
Political life is no doubt-, referred to.
Hotel -keepers and others are of opinion
that one man in each hundred who were
honest at the time at which the Scott
Act came into force has pulled down his

transformed into a sneak. If the • fore-
